After Su Xiao forced back Ada and the Queen of the Insect Clan, he didn’t pursue them. Chasing the Queen inside the Mother Nest without knowing the terrain was foolish.
A familiar bark sounded, and Su Xiao turned his head to see Bubu Wang, dirty all over.
Bubu Wang ran to Su Xiao’s side. From the marks on its fur, it seemed Bubu had encountered a Scorpion Squadron and managed to infiltrate them, charging along with them.
Imagining Bubu charging within a group of scorpions, Su Xiao’s eye twitched.
Su Xiao walked towards the spaceship wreck and dragged out the corpses of seven Elite Sting Scorpions.
He threw one Elite Sting Scorpion in front of Bubu, who tilted its head, not understanding the meaning.
Su Xiao pointed at the corpse of the Elite Sting Scorpion. Bubu was stupefied, looking at Su Xiao as if to say, ’Are you kidding me?’
The reason Su Xiao did this was because Bubu had a skill.
High-level Organism (Active): Bubute Ni can evolve by devouring the flesh and blood of high-level organisms.
Su Xiao was never sure what high-level organisms’ flesh was, as Bubu’s previous attempts at eating Red Soil Area Beast meat proved useless.
Besides, this guy was a picky eater, eating raw meat as if it were medicine.
Bubu put on a look of desolation, glancing at the Elite Sting Scorpion, and then at Su Xiao, as if to say, ’How about you show me first? This shell is hard to chew.’
Su Xiao gave a gentle smile and took off his shoe, holding it in his hand.
Bubu was about to cry. Seeing the shoe in Su Xiao’s hand, it bit into the Elite Sting Scorpion with tears in its eyes.
After taking a few bites, Bubu’s eyes lit up, looking at Su Xiao excitedly as if saying, ’Master, you should taste it. It’s crispy like chicken and really tasty.’
If not for seeing Bubu’s trembling hind leg, Su Xiao might have believed it.
Undoubtedly, the taste of the Elite Sting Scorpion wasn’t that great.
Bubu, a master of acting, continued eating for a while, realizing Su Xiao wasn’t fooled, and its stomach began to retch.
Stopping after consuming half a scorpion, despite its contracting stomach, it emitted a special wave from its body.
[Your servant ’Bubute Ni’ has devoured the blood and flesh of a high-level organism, Power +2, Agility +1, Stamina +3, Charm +2, Skill: Full Speed Charge (Active) slightly enhanced.]
Seeing this message, Su Xiao was quite surprised; the skill effect was unexpectedly strong.
Su Xiao looked at Bubu, who seemed to realize its attributes had strengthened. It lunged at the Elite Sting Scorpion’s corpse like a hungry tiger, albeit the same species could only be effective once.
The attribute enhancement wasn’t key; the key was the skill enhancement. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩
This time, it was the Full Speed Charge (Active) that was enhanced; perhaps the Ice and Snow Goddess’ Aura could be enhanced in the future.
Skill 2: Gift of the Ice and Snow Goddess (Aura): Generates an Ice and Snow Goddess Aura, restoring 1 point of Life Value per second for allies. No consumption, recovery effect increases with Intelligence Attribute.
Once the Ice and Snow Goddess’ Aura is enhanced, the skill will be particularly powerful, even a 1-point increase would elevate Bubu from a weak healer to an amateur one.
Bubu devoured beasts before without effect, now devouring an Elite Sting Scorpion has effects.
The definition of high-level organisms is a bit vague, but that’s okay. From now on, just let Bubu try all the creatures they kill.
Bubu, clueless, doesn’t know the strange creatures it’ll have to eat in the future.
Walking into the spaceship wreck, Su Xiao planned to rest for a bit.
The fight with Ada was extremely bizarre; Ada didn’t hurt him much but unexpected events kept coming. It was like a real-life version of ’Final Destination.’
However, Su Xiao realized one thing, his luck was through the roof, evidenced by the five consecutive shots he made earlier.
He untied his backpack. The fights over the past days had been too intense, and he had used up all his healing items.
After some hesitation, Su Xiao took out three Purple Treasure Boxes and a Chieftain’s Bundle.
Though he couldn’t use storage space, he was out of healing items. It wasn’t that he was unprepared, but the amount he could carry was limited, with half his healing items in storage space.
Picking up a Purple Treasure Box, although there was no Fate Redemption effect, he was now unfazed by opening boxes. Next to him, Bubu was slightly bewildered, feeling Su Xiao was missing a step.
As Su Xiao opened the Purple Treasure Box, Bubu hopelessly shut its eyes.
Purple light dazzled, and Bubu’s dog eyes almost went blind.
[You have acquired 7,000 Paradise coins.]
[Acquired Soul Crystal (Medium) x1.]
[Acquired Hard Shell.]
Introduction: Superior material for forging armor.
The first box yielded a good harvest.
Su Xiao kept the Soul Crystal (Medium) with him, storing the Hard Shell in the bag on Bubu’s back.
Not having obtained any healing items, Su Xiao picked up the second treasure box.
Box opened, it flashed again!
[You have acquired 8,000 Paradise coins.]
[You have acquired Curved Claw Blade.]
Origin: Devouring Island
Equipment Requirements: Over 30 Power points, over 15 Agility points.
Equipment Effect: Scorpion’s Roar (Passive), 5% chance to summon an Elite Sting Scorpion projection to impact enemy will, causing 0.2 seconds Paralysis Effect.
Introduction: Armor blade made from exoskeleton.
Price: 36,000 Paradise coins
A blade appeared in Su Xiao’s hand, its shape resembling the leg of an Elite Sting Scorpion. It could be used to increase the Blade Edge value of Dragon Slash.
Two flashes in a row boosted Su Xiao’s confidence. Having defeated the ’Goddess of Luck,’ he crowned himself as the European King.
When Su Xiao picked up the third treasure box, Bubu was dumbfounded. It approached Su Xiao, sniffing him to confirm if this was really its master.
The third treasure box opened, purple light flashing, a triple flash!
[You have acquired Phantom Demon Stone.]
[Phantom Demon Stone]
Effect: Negates one enhancement failure penalty; if successful, the Phantom Demon Stone will not be consumed.
Introduction: Miraculous Crystal Stone from the Void, commonly used for weapon protection during enhancement or socketing.
A ruby appeared in Su Xiao’s hand. Phantom Demon Stone’s effect was straightforward, negating an enhancement failure penalty.
If Su Xiao attempted to enhance Dragon Slash to +9 and failed, the Phantom Demon Stone would activate its effect.
More importantly, if the enhancement succeeded, the Phantom Demon Stone wouldn’t be consumed until an eventual failure caused it to vanish, avoiding weapon breakage and retaining the enhancement level.
Su Xiao had a bold idea: what would happen if Dragon Slash was enhanced to +10 or higher?
After opening three boxes, Su Xiao acquired a hefty haul, though he didn’t get any healing items.
He turned his gaze to the Chieftain’s Bundle, his last hope.
The Chieftain’s Bundle differed from a treasure box, never flashing. What you get depends on luck.
Opening the Chieftain’s Bundle, several items appeared in Su Xiao’s hands.
[You acquired Sunshine Essence.]
[You acquired Barry’s Diary.]
[You acquired Original Seed.]
Effect: Restores 5 Life Value per second upon drinking, lasting 3 minutes, and accelerates wound healing.
Introduction: Liquid form of ’Sunshine.’
Type: Book-like paper.
Su Xiao was somewhat stunned; today’s luck was extraordinary, making him somewhat unaccustomed to it.
Without hesitation, he downed the Sunshine Essence; his mere 18% Life Value didn’t allow him to economize.
Facing Ada alone wouldn’t have left him this battered, but before facing Ada, he had hacked through a thousand Sasori, was besieged by the Insect Corps, followed by battles with several Elite Sting Scorpions.
Having just consumed Sunshine Essence, a roar sounded.
"Do you want to die so badly? Then I’ll grant your wish."
The voice wasn’t far away, and Su Xiao quickly headed towards its source.
Approaching the source, he heard the sounds of a fierce fight, finding Old Bar and Karlo locked in combat.
