C15 – Jin Ling City
“Too powerful, isn’t it?”
Loong Chen had anticipated the Laser Cannon’s might, yet he couldn’t resist swallowing a gulp of saliva.
His gaze fixated on the enormous lizard. A bloody hole ran through its body, stretching from head to tail. It was evident that the creature had met its demise.
“Picking up done. Obtained empirical value x50000.”
“Picking up done. Obtained strength attribute x800.”
“Picking up done. Obtained defense attribute x600.”
“Picking up done. Obtained agility attribute x500.”
“Picking up done. Obtained Level 4 High Rank energy essence x1.”
Loong Chen eagerly gathered all the light balls around the giant lizard’s corpse, his excitement palpable.
He discovered that this mutated goanna was, in fact, a Level 4 High Rank mutated beast. Its defeat granted him several thousand attribute points and fifty thousand empirical value.
Furthermore, Loong Chen had acquired a Level 4 High Rank energy essence, a boon that could significantly augment his strength if consumed.
Regrettably, the energy contained within the Level 4 High Rank energy essence was overpowering. Absorbing it forcefully might lead to his body exploding.
Consequently, he had no choice but to wait until he gained enough strength before attempting to absorb the energy essence.
“He’s going to kill it just like that?”
Bai Xiaohan couldn’t help but be astonished when she beheld the giant lizard’s lifeless form.
“We got the treasure. We should leave now.”
Loong Chen said.
Glancing at the Laser Cannon, Bai Xiaohan recognized its immense power, but he regretfully acknowledged that taking it with them was not feasible.
“No need to check. The last shot drained all the stored energy. To fire it again, we need more energy, which we can’t afford right now.”
Loong Chen said.
Yet, strangely, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Witnessing the destructive power of the Laser Cannon, Loong Chen had initially contemplated taking it with him. However, such an idea was far from feasible, and now that the cannon’s energy was depleted, he found some solace in the situation.
Upon hearing Loong Chen’s words, Bai Xiaohan’s sympathetic expression faded away.
“Senior Loong Chen, what are your plans now?” Bai Xiaohan asked abruptly.
“I need to return to Jinling City first.”
There were matters he had to attend to in Jinling City, like seeking revenge.
The previous owner of his body met his demise in Death City due to being framed. He witnessed his girlfriend secretly seeing the wealthy man’s son and in a fit of rage, slapped her.
Consequently, the wealthy man’s son retaliated by sending people to beat up Loong Chen. Unfortunately, they might have gone too far, and he ended up dead. His lifeless body was abandoned in Death City.
Taking revenge for the original Loong Chen was now a paramount priority.
In addition to seeking revenge, there was another crucial task for Loong Chen to fulfill. The original Loong Chen had a sister in Jinling City, the sole family he had.
Since he had now taken over this body, it was his responsibility to care for his sister.
“Senior Loong Chen, are you also planning to go to Jinling City? That’s great; we can go together!”
Upon hearing that Loong Chen intended to visit Jinling City, Bai Xiaohan exclaimed with excitement.
Loong Chen looked at Bai Xiaohan strangely, wondering why she was so thrilled.
In truth, Bai Xiaohan didn’t quite understand her own excitement. She blurted it out impulsively.
Without further delay, the two of them set off towards Jinling City after leaving Jade Gorge Mountain.
As the sun began to set, they finally reached Jinling City.
Being a city of a million people, Jinling City boasted a robust defensive system.
The city’s massive wall stood an impressive fifty meters tall and about ten meters thick. Such a formidable structure could likely withstand even a medium-sized horde of the undead.
