Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 381

Chapter 381: Chapter 178 Level 3 Weapon_1

“Brother Wang, are you guys okay?”

Seeing Wang Tao come up, Xu Xiaojun immediately ran over again.

“Haha, we’re fine, the monsters below are taken care of!”

Wang Tao laughed.

This time, luck was on their side; they happened to have gasoline and stumbled upon a plant-based monster that was very afraid of fire.

A big fire saved Wang Tao a lot of effort and avoided many dangers, almost as if he had cheated.

“Glad you’re okay! It’s a shame I couldn’t help…”

There was a hint of shame on Xu Xiaojun’s face.

Wang Tao patted Xu Xiaojun’s shoulder and said:

“Don’t overthink it, by standing guard over the car, you provided us with an escape route. Without it, I wouldn’t have dared to use fire so boldly!”

Xu Xiaojun’s strength was not weak, but his lack of night vision greatly limited his ability to act at night, hence he was not asked to join; it was an unfortunate necessity.

Although these words from Wang Tao were meant to comfort, Xu Xiaojun still felt greatly encouraged upon hearing them.

“So what do we do now…”

Wang Tao looked up at the stars and said:

“Let’s find a place to rest for now. You drive. We’ll go meet up with Yang Changhong tomorrow morning.”

Traveling at night was still too dangerous. Unless it was an emergency, Wang Tao preferred to travel during the day for safety.

The meeting with Yang Changhong was set for three days. Tomorrow would be the third day, just in time to catch up.

“Okay!”

Boom——

The off-road vehicle’s engine roared to life, moving away from the scorched wasteland of the reservoir.

Inside the car, Wang Tao took a sip of water, then began checking the loot.

First, the increase in maximum HP. Although the roots he killed didn’t add any HP, the human-face tree body monster did. It added 3849!

So, now Wang Tao’s HP was [29999/29999]!

Before Wang Tao came here, he was only thinking since he got the news about the Level 2 Zombies, and it wasn’t too far, he naturally couldn’t waste the opportunity. Even if there were no loot, adding some HP was good.

But he hadn’t expected that he would almost triple his HP from fifteen thousand to nearly thirty thousand!

Now, he was just one point shy of thirty thousand HP!

Of course, this one point was not so easy to obtain as he had reached the upper limit of Level 2. Probably like before at Level 1, he would have to ascend all his abilities to Level 3 before he could achieve Level 3 ascension and exceed thirty thousand HP. But all of Wang Tao’s current abilities were +1, and it would take a lot of effort to max them all out…

Nevertheless, Wang Tao was content, as the HP gains were much faster than he had anticipated. His speed of ascension to Level 3 might indeed surpass the speed of his Level 2 ascension!

The human-face tree body monster was a Level 3 Lord Monster, meaning it was an over-leveled kill for Wang Tao. Aside from the HP increase, he also gained a special energy—his special ability directly increased by 6000!

Special energy and HP were consistent, which meant that Wang Tao actually gained 6000 in HP limit. Unfortunately, having reached the upper limit of Level 2, he could only add less than four thousand HP.

Speaking of special energy, with these added 6000, Wang Tao’s special energy reached 13740!

This amount of special energy could now extract two Level 2 abilities. Wang Tao could directly extract the Shockwave and Precise shooting ability and then use the Omnipotent Crystal Core to upgrade the Barrier!

But there was no rush; Wang Tao continued to look at the other loot.

Killing those Level 2 Zombies in the sea of fire earlier yielded quite a few crystal cores, most of which were familiar to Wang Tao. Among them, the useful ones were Shockwave, Omnipotent, and Precision Shooting.

As for the loot they dropped, it was mostly potions, crafting materials, etc., fairly standard. However, these Level 2 Zombies didn’t have much HP, mostly just having ascended to Level 2, so it was normal for them not to have anything particularly good.

Then Wang Tao turned to the main haul from the cave.

The hundred thousand blood tree root only exploded into a Loot Pack.

Wang Tao had thought that the root would explode into an Extraction Crystal Core like the flesh in the Night Demon’s nest, but it wasn’t the case. Instead, it was a section of the root—

[Level 3 Weapon·Entangling Roots]

[HP: 10000/10000 (Upper limit 100000)]

[Status: Dormant]

[Enhancement: HP, Attack, Defense (Weakness: fear of fire)]

[Compatibility: 0%]

“Level 3… Weapon?”

This was the first time Wang Tao had seen something like this; he quickly read the detailed explanation.

[Weapon: A type of weapon that can only be used by humans]

[Entangling Roots: Can be entwined around the body, providing additional HP, attack, and defense, but comes with the restriction ‘Weakness: fear of fire’]

[HP: The weapon’s own HP. If the HP drops to zero, the weapon dies]

[Status: The current state of the weapon. Only weapons in an ‘Awakened’ state can be used]

[Enhancement: The attributes the weapon enhances for the human]

[Compatibility: Must be at least 1% before the weapon can be used. If the weapon is used for a certain period, the compatibility will decrease. The higher the compatibility between the human and the weapon, the more potential of the weapon can be unleashed. To increase compatibility, a crystal core or one’s own HP must be used to nourish the weapon, which also restores the weapon’s current HP, and after 100% nourishment, it will increase the weapon’s upper HP limit. If one’s own HP is used to nourish the weapon, it will leave the person in a state of extreme weakness]

After reading the explanation, Wang Tao was astonished.

This was a weapon with life!

If he entwined these Entangling Roots around his body, it would be like having an additional 10000 HP, and a certain amount of attack and defense!
