The 3 of them were all preoccupied with their own thoughts, the atmosphere instantly turned awkward. Sheyan pondered for a moment, retrieving the keys he obtained from slaying the two rare elite hydralisks.
After opening the first dark blue key, Sheyan was dumbstruck. Because there was nothing inside! Shockingly, it was a huge pile of utility points! It was directly transferred to his nightmare imprint account. Furthermore, it was an increment of increment. Looking at the frantic increment of wealth, who knew when it would stop. One had to admit, such an arrangement was extremely pleasing to the eye, causing one to be filled with anticipation.
Mogensha was originally lazily leaning by the side, but upon witnessing this scene, he whistled in astonishment.
"Woah! Boss, you've struck gold. This is the first time I've encountered such a huge drop of utility points from a chest. Previously, I encountered a big drop of equipment. It didn't drop anything, only Blue equipment, and it dropped a total of five. Unfortunately, not a single one of them was of any use. Coincidentally, I was lacking money, so I could only sell them off. "
At present, the increment of utility points finally slowed down. Finally, Sheyan took a look, he had gained a total of 8000 utility points, not bad at all. Then, he took out the key that was emitting a silver light and smiled.
"What do you guys think this key will open?"
Even the silent Reef couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.
"Did you get this in this world?"
Sheyan nodded and laughed.
"A small probability event. I slayed two rare elite hydralisks, one of them dropped that dark blue key, and this one dropped this."
Mogensha couldn't help but exclaim.
"Oh, damn it. If I knew, I would've followed you into that damned cave."
Sheyan laughed bitterly.
"If you followed me in, I reckon it bodes ill rather than well."
Following that, Sheyan narrated the situation of the two rare elite hydralisks in full detail. When Mogensha heard the situation, he felt a chill down his spine. Sheyan then summoned the chest to open it. In the end, he discovered that the chest only contained one item.
This thing looked extremely disgusting, like a purplish black organ that had been cut off and cleaned. Beside it were 7-8 short and thick tentacles that flowed with purplish fluid. Following that, the nightmare imprint transmitted a notification:
"You obtained an unidentified equipment: Rare acid gland of an elite hydralisk."
"Equipment grade: Silver storyline grade."
"You have to appraise it before you can obtain its detailed information."
[Note: Any arachnid hive would wish to obtain this item to conduct genetic devouring and analysis.]
Obviously, according to the description of the last sentence, this equipment could also be used to exchange for Arachnid Reputation. Regrettably, there were only 3 ways to appraise a Silver storyline grade equipment.
The easiest way was to return to the space and pay for the appraisal.
The second easiest way was to immediately appraise it through the nightmare imprint after reaching a certain rank. However, it seemed that this method would consume merit points.
The hardest part was for the contractor to use the relevant auxiliary ability to identify it. The first two appraisal methods were to restore the original attributes of the equipment. However, if the contestant's appraisal ability was honed through painstaking effort, it would raise the attributes of the appraised equipment!
When Mogensha and Sheyan split up, they managed to reap several benefits. Piecemeal, they managed to earn roughly 2000 utility points from selling trash. Moreover, it wasn't only Sheyan's luck that was good. When he was slaughtering the worker drones of the base, he actually encountered a rare enslavement.
An arachnid worker drone that was about to be killed by him was actually willing to become a slave!
One must understand, if he were to exchange for it in the Blackthorn tribe, he would need 5000 reputation points and 2000 utility points! Naturally, Mogensha would gladly accept such a good thing. Looking at the unlucky worker bee being shot till its entire body was splattered with green juice, as it slumped weakly to the ground on its last breath. Mogensha was even afraid that it would die, as his heart ached for it as he used a bandage to bandage it up.
Although Reef's mood was extremely gloomy, he still expressed great interest towards the Blackthorn tribe of the arachnid race. After all, the savagery and fearlessness of those arachnids had left a deep impression on Reef. Now that he was going to fight alongside them, although it was still against arachnids, he couldn't help but feel complicated emotions.
On the way back, Mogensha and Sheyan casually caught another scourge that was covered with razor-sharp bone armour. Because the Blackthorn Mother nest didn't have such an army, they decided to bring it back to try their luck and see if they could exchange it for reputation points.
After conversing with Reef, they confirmed one thing. That was, a situation like the Blackthorn tribe where reputation points could be traded was exceedingly rare. It probably required extremely harsh conditions in order to achieve it. Hence, if possible, earning as much reputation points as possible was the right thing to do.
When Sheyan caught sight of the Blackthorn tribe from afar, he finally calmed down. The class II Mother nest was extremely majestic. Two enormous pillars grew out from both sides, resembling the upper torso of an ancient dragon. It towered majestically, as though it wasn't under attack at all.
In the skies above the Mother nest, hovering masses of Overlords, Mutalisks and genuine scourges were hovering around. Genuine scourges only consumed 25 units of pandora crystals, but required 75 units of rare gas ores. Every larva could hatch 2 scourges. In other words, each scourge consumed an average of 12.5 crystals and 37.5 units of rare gas ores.
These scourges flew with incredible speed, but didn't possess any offensive capabilities. Their only method of attack was to close in on enemy aerial units and self-destruct. But this time, the damage dealt was extremely terrifying. Ordinary aerial units were rarely able to withstand the simultaneous bombardment of 2-3 scourges. It seems like the Blackthorn Overmind Mozi had started to dread the possibility of the enemy's' Beheading 'tactic. Hence, he was especially vigilant towards his own airspace.
After descending, Sheyan and Mogensha naturally handed in the scourge they caught, before immediately inquiring about the current battle situation. However, the Mother nest's first feedback was extremely awkward.
[Submitted mutated creature is worthless.]
[This is a stage I Mother nest's desperate situation, in order to pursue aerial superiority, it hatched a mutated creature.]
[This type of mutated creature possesses: Low production rate (1 larva per larva), high cost (150 units of pandora crystals, 50 GS of rare gas ores), low damage. Therefore, it cannot be absorbed.]
Fortunately, the following news allowed Sheyan and Mogensha to heave a sigh of relief. The Redliner tribe still hadn't made any moves, it seemed like they were still frenziedly converting crystals into military strength. Even if they didn't make a move, once they did, it would shake the heavens and earth. But to the Blackthorn tribe, more time meant more ample preparation work. As for the Blackthorn tribe, because they occupied the rich pandora crystals, their development potential was definitely much stronger than the Redliner tribe.
At present, amongst the 3 survivors, Mogensha didn't sustain any injuries. Brother Black hopped down from the Overlord, and happily brought his subservient drone to treat its injuries. Then, he headed straight for the pandora crystal vein. Obviously, he wanted to see how much value he could squeeze out from this unlucky child. Sheyan then brought Reef to the Blackthorn tribe's hatchery, obviously intending to properly treat his injuries.
One must understand, Sheyan was severely burnt by the acid of the two rare elite hydralisks. Currently, his left face was incomparably malevolent, like a demon. His left eye was nearly blinded, and the acid seemed to have taken on the role of venom. It continued to exert its effects, severely suppressing his regenerative capabilities.
Reef was also heavily injured, his entire body was fractured, and his internal organs showed signs of rupturing. These injuries couldn't be healed in a short period of time. Facing such an incomparably tense and vile situation, he would rather spend some reputation and utility points to heal his injuries in the Blackthorn base. Worth mentioning, if Sheyan still maintained his' Worshipped 'reputation, then entering the hatchery for treatment would be free of charge.
The hatchery of the Mother nest was the place where the larvae were produced. Speaking of which, although this place was filled with fleshy red squirming walls and blood vessels, it wasn't a big deal. Under Sheyan's guidance, Reef directly immersed his entire body in the enormous womb. Beside him were the squirming larvae. Then, the amniotic fluid of the Mother nest would extract the energy from the pandora crystal, and speedily heal their injuries. Because the amniotic fluid didn't reach their heads, their breathing was completed through the large umbilical cord that hung down automatically.
Although Sheyan's external injuries were severe, most of them were superficial wounds. There weren't any fractures or ruptures of internal organs. Hence, his injuries were much lighter than Reef's. Very quickly, his external injuries were properly healed. However, the acidic corrosive fluid on his body was still extremely vicious, like a curse with residual effects. If he wanted to quickly remove it, he would have to undergo treatment inside the hydralisk secreting organ.
Sheyan crawled out from the amniotic fluid, waving to Reef before walking out.
*****
After not interacting with everyone for so long, let me give everyone a question.
Guess what innate ability Sheyan had discovered in Reef? So astonished.
Alright, actually I'm still not satisfied with the hidden ability I've drafted up till this point. I need everyone's inspiration and strength to display it.
Haha, same old rules, those chosen by me will be rewarded with 30 points.
Those who participate will also be rewarded.
That's all for today, no need to wait. (To be continued. If you like this work, I welcome you to vote for it on qidian.com. Your support, is my greatest motivation.)
