Chapter 538: Chapter 230 Iron Tree Vines_2
Actually, the first two Abilities weren’t too great, but Ability-related Crystal Cores focused on the spirit were too rare. Wang Tao wanted to level up to Level 3 quickly, so naturally, he could no longer wait.
So, after a series of operations by Wang Tao, he acquired a new Superpower.
[Level 2 Ability: Yin and Yang Balance]
The name hadn’t changed; it was still called Yin and Yang Balance, but the detailed information had increased significantly.
[Yin and Yang Balance: Can slightly influence the spirit of living beings, can destabilize the spirit of living beings, can create a barrier that blocks mental attacks, and during sexual intercourse with the opposite sex, both parties’ Mana will quickly be restored, and the user will gain a permanent increase in Mana. The permanent Mana increase has a cooldown, which is random. (Side effect: None)]
Seeing this Ability, Wang Tao laughed loudly, and then he fused the Omnipotent Crystal Core he had prepared in advance.
After some time, Wang Tao’s new Ability had leveled up by +10!
[Level 2 Yin and Yang Balance (+10)]
Now all four of his Abilities were at +10, and he could ascend to Level 3! He had already prepared the Ascension crystal cores needed for Level 3 Ascension.
However, Wang Tao was not in a hurry to ascend. After his ascension, killing Level 3 Ordinary Zombies and Level 3 Elite Zombies would no longer count as defeating higher-level enemies.
Loot Packs were a minor issue; the main concern was Special Energy.
For Level 3 Abilities, whether for fusion or extraction, each time it would consume 30,000 Special Energy. Wang Tao had spent over a hundred thousand Energy on synthesizing Crystal Cores, and now he only had a little over one hundred thousand left, which wouldn’t last many uses.
Therefore, Wang Tao planned to kill some more Level 3 Zombies to save up some Special Energy before proceeding with his Level 3 Ascension. After all, he currently had Level 3 Combat Power, and killing most Level 3 Zombies was no trouble for him.
Wang Tao checked his belongings and the items in his Space Backpack again to see if anything had been missed.
“Right, I almost forgot about this thing!”
A seed appeared in Wang Tao’s hand.
[Iron Tree Vine Seed: When planted in the ground, it will grow into a violent Iron Tree Vine. When planted inside the body, it will grow into an obedient Iron Tree Vine.]
“Should I plant it inside my body…”
Wang Tao was slightly hesitant.
Planting it in the ground was obviously pointless. Even if he killed the vine, at most he would get an Extraction Crystal Core, and that wasn’t even guaranteed.
But if it were planted inside his body, Wang Tao was afraid he would become a monster. After all, this was different from the previous Magic Seeds, which clearly stated they would develop Hidden Abilities…
“Screw it, let’s plant it!”
In the end, Wang Tao steeled his heart and placed the seed inside his mouth.
The seed instantly melted within Wang Tao’s body, just like a Crystal Core.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Then, an icon appeared below Wang Tao’s HP bar:
[Iron Tree Vine Seed Germination Countdown: 2 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]
The previous Magic Seed needed ten days, whereas this Iron Tree Vine Seed only needed three days, which was significantly faster.
“It’s just three days; let’s wait.”
Shaking his head, Wang Tao temporarily put the thought aside. He and Jiang Shixue went out together to hunt zombies.
The zombies near the sports center had begun to run off to other places, which made Zijing City much more dangerous all of a sudden. After all, there were quite a few Level 3 Zombies.
Fortunately, many factions had moved their families to Zijin Base. As long as they didn’t go out, they were basically safe.
This also made things easier for Wang Tao; he didn’t have to go out of his way to head to the sports center.
Three days later.
Wang Tao’s Special Energy was back to over three hundred thousand, which meant he could use it for fusion or extraction of Level 3 Crystal Cores about ten times.
And the Iron Tree Vine Seed inside Wang Tao finally sprouted.
The situation he was worried about did not happen; he didn’t turn into a monster.
When the countdown ended, Wang Tao felt as if something was in his mouth. He then spat out something resembling a small black snake—although it was called a vine, it didn’t have many leaves and felt similar to Entangling Roots.
In fact, they were indeed quite similar. Not only could it transform into a bracelet that wrapped around Wang Tao’s wrist like the Entangling Roots, but it was also a Level 3 Weapon!
[Level 3 Weapon: Iron Tree Vine]
[HP: 10,000/10,000 (Maximum 100,000)]
[Status: Awakened]
[Enhancement: Split (1), Independent Attack]
[Compatibility: 100%]
However, unlike Entangling Roots, which provided various enhancements when worn, the Iron Tree Vine’s features were splitting and independent attacking.
[Split (1): Currently 1 tendril, up to 10 tendrils]
[Independent Attack: Can follow the owner’s commands and attack on its own]
“This vine can split, up to 10 tendrils? Interesting…”
Wang Tao could vaguely feel a very faint and simple consciousness, which was the consciousness of the Iron Tree Vine.
Since it grew out of his body, it had a 100% Compatibility, and Wang Tao could control it directly.
With just a thought, he saw the vine suddenly grow ten meters, wrapping around a nearby brick, and then retracting quickly, bringing the brick to Wang Tao’s hand.
“This is pretty interesting!”
Wang Tao experimented several more times and discovered that the vine’s greatest use seemed to be in helping him capture prey!
He tested it with zombies, finding that when a Level 2 Zombie was entangled by the Iron Tree Vine, it couldn’t escape at all and was pulled directly in front of Wang Tao, where he could easily kill it with a single strike.
As for using the vine to attack, it was rather unsuitable. Its Attack power was far less than Wang Tao’s, so it was better as a controlling ability.
