"Hey, what's this?" He saw a scale that was different from the Rampage Japalura's, half buried in the soil next to the plastic bag.
Luo Yuan pulled the scale out of the soil. It was about the size of a ping pong racket, with a smooth surface and a translucent blue color. It looked like an unpolluted spring in the depths of the forest. Even though it had been stuck in the soil, it was still spotless.
What was even more incredible was that Luo Yuan could feel a refreshing chill coming from the scale when he held it in his hand. Looking at the scale, it seemed familiar to him. Suddenly, he had an idea. "This isn't the scale of a snake, is it?"
The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. He quickly used his identification technique.
"The scale of a snake."
"Function: Material."
"Rarity: Dark Blue."
"Weight: 10.
"Remarks: This is a scale shed by a snake in its metamorphosis stage. It contains a little cold energy."
Luo Yuan's heart was pounding. All the frustration he had felt earlier was gone. To him, one scale was worth more than an entire Rampage Japalura.
This meant that his Zhanmadao could be upgraded again. A sharp weapon was very important to a martial artist. To some extent, a good weapon could directly increase a person's combat power by a few levels.
Even if he had leveled up to 12 and all his attributes had increased by two points, he would still have to retreat when facing a terrifying creature like the snake.
That was because he might not even be able to break its defense in a fight.
Moreover, this scale contained elemental energy, which made it even more valuable. He wouldn't trade it for a few Rampage Japaluras.
Luo Yuan was excited. Afraid that he had read it wrong, he used his identification technique again. Looking at it carefully again, he realized that its description of cold elemental energy was very different from that of the black owl.
One was a little, while the other was a little. The two words were different, but the meaning was like heaven and earth. The energy level of this scale was obviously much higher than that of the black owl.
"Since I found a scale here, it must have shed more than one," Luo Yuan thought to himself. His eyes lit up as he carefully searched for any remaining scales nearby.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, he found another one under a fallen tree.
In the next few hours, Luo Yuan went around the area that he had just ravaged. He dug three feet into the ground and got a lot of loot. He found a total of sixteen of them, as well as a pineapple-sized ball of internal organs spat out by the flood serpent.
He flipped it over and over again, but he couldn't tell which part of the internal organs it was that had almost turned into paste from the shock of the high-explosive bomb. It was not until he used his identification technique that Luo Yuan realized that it was part of the snake dragon's liver.
The effect was no different from the light blue and blue rank flesh. It only slightly increased the body's attributes. It seemed like the flesh of blue rank creatures was only able to increase the human body's quality.
After all, regardless of whether it was light blue or dark blue, they were all categorized as blue by the system. Although the amount of energy was different, there was still no qualitative breakthrough. No matter how much energy was accumulated, there was still a limit to its effect on the human body. Once the limit was reached, no matter how much energy one ate, it would be useless. At most, one's physical fitness would improve a little faster.
Luo Yuan did not synthesize immediately. Instead, he picked up his things and prepared to leave.
Previously, because the Flood Serpent had left its aura in this area, no other mutant beasts had come over. However, the aura alone could not last long. Coupled with the constant temptation of the smell of blood, as time passed, the deterrent effect was getting weaker and weaker.
By now, the surrounding jungle had started to become restless. Only one straw was left. With his current useless physique, even if all the mutants that came over were light blue or even white rank, how many could he kill?
Besides, killing without any benefits was not Luo Yuan's style.
He quickly left the restless area. Half an hour later, he finally returned to the small path that he had come from when he had first entered the jungle.
Luo Yuan chose a sheltered spot in the forest and stopped. He was ready to synthesize all the materials he had.
It was not that Luo Yuan was in a hurry, but he was worried that the base would confiscate the materials. This was not a baseless speculation. He had heard a few times that the military was looking for bio-materials. The middle-aged man who had sold him the black owl feather had also mentioned bio-bulletproof vests, which meant that the military was taking bio-materials very seriously.
Moreover, dark blue rank creatures were not ordinary creatures. Even the military might not encounter one. If they found the materials left behind by such creatures, it would be hard to guarantee that they would not be tempted.
Therefore, in order to avoid any unforeseen problems, it was better to synthesize the equipment first.
To avoid any accidents, Luo Yuan took out the armor-piercing bullet that he had prepared to experiment with from his pocket. He first used the black owl feather to synthesize it to blue rank, and then took out two scales to synthesize it again. He found that he could continue synthesizing.
Luo Yuan threw the blue armor-piercing bullet aside and prepared to synthesize his Zhanmadao. Suddenly, he had an idea and picked up the bullet. To be honest, he was very disappointed with the type 88 sniper rifle. The armor-piercing bullet had penetrated the lizard's scales and been clamped by its muscles. It could not even be considered a serious injury.
It could shoot people, but it was useless against mutated beasts, especially those that were blue rank and above. This was not only because the caliber of the type 88 sniper rifle was too small and did not have enough kinetic energy, but also because the alloy steel of the bullet was not strong enough.
When he had found the bullet, it had been squashed into a round cake. If this dark blue bullet could still be used normally, the effect would be very different.
However, this could only be tested.
Luo Yuan stuffed the bullet into his pocket and started synthesizing his Zhanmadao.
As the scales disappeared one by one, the Zhanmadao changed again. The green beetle material that had been integrated into the blade was gradually expelled. Traces of emerald green powder gradually seeped out and slid down the smooth blade.
When the thirteenth scale turned into a residue full of tiny holes, the Zhanmadao finally evolved to dark blue rank. Looking at the last scale, Luo Yuan hesitated for a moment before synthesizing it into his Zhanmadao again.
"Cold Zhanmadao."
"Material: 165cm alloy. Snake scales."
"Rarity: Dark blue."
"Weight: 4. 3 kg. "
"Attack Power: 25-29."
"Additional Effect 1: Attack Speed + 1."
"Additional Effect 2: Freeze. Instantly causes a temperature of -30 degrees Celsius. Cooldown time: 24 hours. Trigger Condition: Master of Knife Skills. Current Status: Activated."
"Equipment Requirement: 11 points of Strength."
"Remarks: This is a saber that can make enemies tremble in fear."
"Sharp Zhanmadao" had become "Cold Zhanmadao." Its attack power had increased by five points, and its additional effects had increased from one to two. One of them was a powerful special ability, Freeze.
However, looking at the trigger condition, Luo Yuan could not help but have a bad feeling. He held the somewhat cold handle of the saber. With a wave of his hand, the saber flashed, and a branch that was as thick as the mouth of a bowl was easily cut to the ground like tofu.
He went up to touch the wound.
Sure enough, other than a slight chill, there was no coldness in the additional effect. It seemed that in order to trigger this effect, he would have to merge his Will and completely master the Master of Knife Skills.
However, it should not be long now. When he had killed the Rampage Japalura, he had vaguely touched that state. At that moment, it was as if all his attention had been focused on killing the Rampage Japalura. When the saber had slid across its throat, there had been no hindrance. It had gone through smoothly and beautifully.
Next, Luo Yuan continued to synthesize the military boots and jacket to blue level, until they could no longer be synthesized. They were all equipment with + 3 Speed.
Luo Yuan found the car left behind by the five men from Hedong City and returned to the base.
After a careful check, the two sentries allowed him to drive into the base.
The sun was already setting in the west. Compared to the quiet morning, it was undoubtedly much more lively now. It was time for a large number of hunters to return from the forest.
Under the supervision of a soldier, Luo Yuan moved the two legs of the Rampage Japalura into a warehouse. Soon, someone came over to cut off a piece of meat and tested it with a test solution.
"That's all?" The soldier looked at him carefully and warned him expressionlessly, "You look unfamiliar. This must be your first time here. If you're found to be hiding something, you'll be severely punished. If it's serious, you'll be grounded for a few days. "
"That's all!" Luo Yuan said calmly.
"It's level three meat!" the soldier said, looking up. His breathing was a little rapid.
After all, even an inspector like him did not get to see level three meat every day. Such creatures had a certain level of intelligence. Other than the time when the base had just been built, when level three creatures had come to die, such creatures had rarely appeared.
"Did you kill them?" The soldier's expressionless face showed a hint of surprise and suspicion. "What kind of weapon did you use? I remember that your pass showed that you didn't rent any weapons. "
"I think I can choose not to answer this question," Luo Yuan replied, feeling a little uncomfortable.
His face suddenly became very ugly. Usually, these hunters would try every possible means to please him. They would try every possible way to bribe him, just so that the inspection would be more lenient. It was almost a routine. He had not expected to meet a hothead today.
He moved closer to Luo Yuan's ear and sneered, "You can choose not to answer, but for the safety of the base, I'll search your car carefully later. I suspect that you're hiding firearms."
Luo Yuan was stunned. He turned around and looked at him. Suddenly, he smiled and said softly, "I think you might be mistaken about something. You and I both know that I'm not hiding firearms, so how did I get a level three prey? "
The soldier seemed to think of something, and his face turned pale. Before he could speak, Luo Yuan continued, "I heard that the military is recruiting evolved people, and the treatment is good.
Even if you framed me for hiding firearms and violated the base's rules, what do you think will happen if you report it?
Take a guess!
Hiding firearms! Very well! But for now, this was a crime that was neither too big nor too small. I would soon be taken away. At that time, I would reveal my identity, and without a doubt, I would be forcibly recruited into the army. Perhaps in the blink of an eye, my military rank would suddenly be higher than yours.
Maybe I don't have to say much. Some of the higher-ups will chase out some bad apples to win the hearts of ordinary evolved people. What do you think? "
The soldier's face turned green, then white, and finally red. He did not speak for a long time.
