Hum!
Shrouded in a layer of misty yellow light, the Mandrill Boxing Glove was the size of a casserole.
It collided heavily with a scorpion's pincer that was twice its size and also had a pale yellow color!
Whoosh!
The huge pincer was smashed to the ground, sending the soil on the ground flying several feet!
However, the other pincer immediately swept over with the sound of the wind, forcing Lu Zhishen, who had his upper body exposed, to take half a step back.
This was a scorpion that was about three feet tall. Excluding its tail, it was about two meters long and possessed Extraordinary strength.
It was also the target that the master and commander of the Twin Dragon Mount had chosen to attack first.
In the past two days of detecting the "resource points" on the Twin Dragon Mount, they had discovered a total of three monsters that were suspected to be Extraordinary.
There was a special reason why Ji Ye and Lu Zhishen chose to deal with this scorpion first!
This was because this super large "Jade Scorpion" with a jade-yellow carapace was actually not its pair of pincers that were shaped like guillotines and could directly cut through trees that were about half a foot in diameter, but the translucent tail on its back.
The tail structure of this Extraordinary Five Poisonous creature was very strange. It could actually extend several times in an instant, and it was extremely fast, making it impossible to guard against!
Yesterday, when Lu Zhishen led his team to pass by this place, one of the team members was stung by a Jade Scorpion that suddenly rushed out of the cave.
Even the soft armor made from the skin of a black snake couldn't stop the sting. Although the stung spots didn't swell or turn black immediately, the people who were stung were in so much pain that they found it hard to breathe. Within a minute, they fainted several times from the pain.
Fortunately, Ji Ye, who happened to be online, thought of something.
He ran to the Mandrill's cave and took out a Red Pip that had been ripened by the Mandrill's blood. He wiped it with its juice and consumed it orally. Only then did he successfully remove the "poison of pain" that even the iron-blooded men could not endure.
Everything had its vanquisher. It was precisely because the Red Pip could detoxify the poison.
That was why the two of them chose this Topaz Scorpion, which was one of the Five Poisonous creatures, as a breakthrough point.
Otherwise, ordinary humans would definitely retreat when faced with it because it was an Extraordinary Rank-2 creature that was not inferior to the Mandrill.
"Chief Lu, be careful … Its tail is about to move!"
On the battlefield, Lu Zhishen had already successfully suppressed the Demon Scorpion by relying on a pair of "Mountain Centipede Gloves" and a profound fist technique.
However, outside the battlefield, Ji Ye, who was holding the Heavy Bulldozer Crossbow in his hand, did not relax at all. Instead, he suddenly shouted.
This was because, apart from the unique structure of the scorpion's tail, when it moved, it would make a rattlesnake like sound that disturbed one's mind.
At the moment when it attacked with its tail, a cold glint flashed across its eyes.
Moreover, it would suddenly emit a strange sound wave that could cause people who were close to it to become slightly absent-minded. It was almost impossible to dodge its stinger attack!
Whoosh!
As soon as Ji Ye said that.
The Jade Scorpion's tail had already pierced towards Lu Zhishen's chest, like a venomous snake that suddenly rushed out!
Clang!
However, a bronze crossbow bolt shot out at almost the same time.
Flying from the side, he ruthlessly smashed into the "poisonous snake"'s vital point, causing the angle of its attack to abruptly deviate by a large margin!
"Ha!"
Then, Lu Zhishen, who had recovered from his momentary absent-mindedness, quickly grabbed the Jade Scorpion's tail with the Mountain Centipede glove he was wearing.
Following that, the embroidered flower tattoo on his back seemed to have come to life. A force that could uproot a willow erupted, and with one hand, he flung the body that was comparable to the size of an adult away, crashing into the rocks behind him.
"Crash!"
Even though the defense of the Yellow Jade Scorpion's carapace was not inferior to that of porcelain, it was naturally impossible to say that it was unscathed under such a violent impact.
Half of its six legs were broken, and its back was caved in from the impact, revealing its milky white flesh.
Clang!
Before it could completely land on the ground, a silver crossbow bolt with the color of flames directly penetrated its body through the shattered carapace.
Boom!
Immediately after, with an explosion, blue-yellow flames quickly burned along the spot where the arrow was hit!
This Extraordinary flame bolt's "fuel" had been used up the last time it attacked the Black Serpent.
However, the Zippo lighter could be "refueled", and he happened to have another gold-plated limited edition.
["Killed Topaz Pipa Scorpion (Extraordinary Rank-2, Quasi-Commander). EXP gained: 320. Honor gained: 2!"]
This time, Ji Ye didn't add too much oil, so it only burned for a while before stopping.
However, it was enough for the Jade Scorpion to die.
The spoils of war that the dead scorpion turned into were really beyond Ji Ye's expectations.
This was because its entire body was shrouded in white light and shrank. In the end, it turned into a yellow and white pipa that was as exquisite as jade!
"Is this really going to make people tremble in fear?"
Ji Ye sighed with mixed feelings.
Compared to the Mountain God and the Flood Dragon from before, the characteristics that this Jade Scorpion displayed seemed to have a greater origin. It was inevitable that his head would feel a little numb.
Well, when there were too many lice, there was no itch, and when there were too many debts, there was no need to worry.
At the very least, the attributes of this pipa were very special!
[Topaz Pipa]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-3]
[Rarity: Excellent]
[Description: A magical artifact made from the body of the Jade Pipa Scorpion after it was refined. Those who are compatible with it can trigger the extraordinary power in it when playing it.] Apart from that, there was a secret hidden in the pipa!
Ji Ye and Lu Zhishen both tried playing it curiously, but they didn't trigger the "extraordinary" power in it.
It was probably because they didn't have any musical talent, so they weren't "compatible" with this magical artifact.
On the other hand, the "hidden secret" in the description was discovered by Ji Ye, who had a little obsessive-compulsive disorder.
This Topaz Pipa actually had a translucent sword refined from a needle at the end. It could be used to suddenly injure people when played, or it could be used as a weapon.
After being stabbed, the finger would be in excruciating pain …
Well, don't ask him how he knew!
Perhaps it was precisely because of this special "combination" form.
This made this magical artifact reach the same level as the Black Serpent Sword, Extraordinary Rank-3.
Of course, in a cave full of stalactites where the Jade Stone Scorpion was hiding, Ji Ye and Lu Zhishen also found the settlement "resources" they were looking forward to!
[Stone Milk]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-1]
[Rarity: Common]
[Description: A spiritual liquid formed in a special terrain that contains the essence of the earth. Drinking it can strengthen one's energy, nourish one's divine sense, and improve one's functions.] In the settlement, high-grade Stone Milk could even have the effect of "rejuvenating one's youth"!
"This thing."
Ji Ye's eyes "lit up" again.
Clearly, be it the Red Pipa Fruit or the Stone Milk, they would be very attractive to some of the elderly tycoons on Earth. This was because one could "replenish one's energy", and the other could "rejuvenate one's youth".
For Ji Ye, the use was even more obvious.
This was because the Earth's Boon he obtained from Mandrill, as a cultivation technique, was very likely related to the strength of one's mental strength and divine sense.
"This cave also has attributes. Because it has gathered a large amount of earth energy, it's very suitable for cultivating earth-type techniques."
Lu Zhishen realized that the cave itself, like the Flood Dragon's cold pond, also had attributes.
And it just so happened that Ji Ye had an earth-type technique on him right now!
"Chief Lu, I'll have to trouble you to wait outside for a while. I'll go into seclusion for a while."
After pondering for a moment, Ji Ye said to Lu Zhishen.
"Okay!"
…
After Lu Zhishen walked out and stood guard outside to prevent monsters from barging in.
Ji Ye sat cross-legged on the ground and held the "Earth's Boon" that was originally a ball of light but had now turned into a cultivation technique jade slip in his hand.
"Fuse Earth's Boon!"
Then, after taking a sip of the Stone Milk, he said softly in his mind.
He did not choose to consume EXP to absorb it. Instead, he directly used the talent skill that had just finished its cooldown, Fusion.
According to Ji Ye's speculation, this would theoretically allow him to directly reach an extremely high level of understanding of this cultivation technique.
Then, by consuming EXP, coupled with the environment and the Extraordinary Stone Milk, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.
However, Earth's Boon could be cultivated directly after all.
This Fusion talent, which needed time to cool down every time, seemed to be able to greatly increase his strength when used on the Black Serpent Blood of the Commander-level Black Serpent.
However, Ji Ye did not do so.
This was because the Black Serpent Blood was too special. In order to ensure that he would not be unlucky enough to fuse with the Black Serpent Blood, Ji Ye needed to grasp more information about his talent.
As Ji Ye fused, the jade slip in his hand was enveloped in white light and fused into his forehead, which was also emitting white light.
However, it was different from the previous cultivation.
This time, Ji Ye would open his eyes every half an hour, drink another mouthful of Stone Milk, and continue to consume EXP to cultivate.
This repeated for about an hour and a half.
Ji Ye's body trembled. Wisps of invisible earth and stone energy were absorbed into his body from all over the cellar and gathered in his chest.
Just like that, another two hours passed. Ji Ye opened his eyes and exhaled.
Because … the EXP he had accumulated over the past few days had been used up again.
However, the effect was already very gratifying.
Ji Ye opened his eyes. His expression was calm, but his eyes could not hide the excitement.
"Pa!"
The Purple Jade Knife on his right wrist popped out after a light sound. Then, he first aimed at his neck …
After a slight pause, he changed his target to the index finger of his left hand!
Clang!
The Purple Jade Knife slashed at his finger.
The sharp blade, which was almost transparent, was directly bounced off, unable to hurt his fingers at all. This was because at the moment of the attack, a layer of hazy yellow light rose up, as if he was wearing a layer of stone armor.
At this moment, his attributes had changed.
[Race: Human (Earth)]
[Talent: Fusion (Extraordinary, Inheritance)]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-1 (Quasi-Commander)]
[Skill: Primordial Chaos Force (Mastered), Seven-Sided Mantis Fist (Greater Mastery), Earth's Boon (Mastered)]
[Item: Black Serpent Sword, Bull Combat Boots, Purple Jade Knife, Mantis Invisibility Cloak …]
Although he still could not break through in level, his evaluation had become "Quasi-Commander"!
This was because Primordial Chaos Force and Earth's Boon, one for offense and one for defense, combined with the Greater Mastery of Seven-Sided Mantis Fist.
In a short period of time, he could completely fight Commander-level creatures of the same level!
…
"Master, have you finished cultivating?"
Ji Ye walked out of the catacombs in just four hours.
Lu Zhishen, who was sitting on the ground like an iron tower, stood up and asked. His upper body was half-naked, and his eye-catching blue and white embroidery was habitually exposed.
"I've mastered it. Thank you for protecting me, Chief Lu!"
Ji Ye nodded.
"Master, you are indeed a genius. This Qi Refinement method is even more difficult than martial arts."
Ji Ye smiled and accepted Lu Zhishen's surprised comment when he learned that he had completely mastered the Primordial Chaos Force.
Heavenly genius, this evaluation was very objective!
"Master, Master …"
At this moment, a figure rushed out from the direction of the fort and shouted.
"Heavens … Heavens … The Chosen One you mentioned has arrived at the fort!"
