Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot Chapter 813: 318: Showing Off

Chapter 813: Chapter 318: Showing Off

Before attempting the teorites, Gu Yun had planned to test the waters with 10 star teorites, and then continue unlocking more.

Although there were so losses with these 10 star teorites, they also yielded many valuable items, particularly the appearance of a monster, added to the trials with the Iron Beetles, which consud a considerable amount of ti.

The sun was now setting in the west, and night was about to fall.

Even though they were all standing at the entrance to Changhe Base, the night in this apocalyptic world remained dangerous. Thus, Gu Yun decided to unlock the last two teorites and then retreat, leaving the rest for tomorrow.

No one else objected.

In order to survive the apocalypse, being cautious and careful was essential. After all, with the teorites in their possession, unlocking them a day early or late didn’t make much difference.

...

Wang Tao brought over the ninth Energy Crystal teorite.

It was of Epic Quality, requiring ten Crystal Cores. This particular teorite was unlocked using Epic Crystal Cores.

A mont later, the teorite cracked open, and another Crystal Core appeared.

But seeing this Orange Crystal Core, Wang Tao was sowhat surprised.

“A Level 4 Ascension Crystal Core!”

“What, an Ascension Crystal Core?”

Everyone overheard and imdiately rushed over. After confirming it was indeed an Ascension Crystal Core, they were overjoyed.

An Ascension Crystal Core, and an Orange one at that with a 100% fusion success rate!

This was a prerequisite for becoming an Awakener!

Gu Yun couldn’t help but break into a smile because this ninth teorite belonged to City Hall!

Wang Tao was entitled to a share of this Crystal Core but only a tiny fraction. Gu Yun certainly wasn’t going to give it to him; he would provide Wang Tao with compensation equivalent to the value of the Crystal Core.

Of course, Wang Tao had no issues with this arrangent. Although he very much desired the Crystal Core, he was only a minor shareholder in this teorite and had no say in the matter.

Then it was ti for the last, the tenth teorite.

The ninth had been unlocked with Epic Crystal Cores, while the tenth was prepared for unlocking with Ordinary Crystal Cores.

Wang Tao placed the ten Crystal Cores into the indentations on the teorite one by one.

The Crystal Cores emitted a faint white light as they were drained of energy by the teorite, slowly dimming.

Crack—

A crevice ford in the teorite, growing wider and wider until the entire teorite split in two in an instant.

Whoosh—

A slender black shadow shot out from the teorite.

“So lucky? Another monster!”

Wang Tao stepped back while speaking in surprise.

“…”

The others were rendered speechless by his comnt.

Encountering a monster was a stroke of luck? It could be said that way… but only if they could defeat the monster. If not, it would be a disaster.

Seeing the black shadow that had erged start to swell, Shang Heng looked towards the several Awakeners present.

This ti, without waiting for him to speak, Zhou Long imdiately said:

“You stay back, let us handle it this ti!”

Zhou Long felt humiliated by his previous battle against the Dual-tail Scorpion. He was determined to redeem his reputation in this fight!

For soone of his standing, face was of great importance, as respect ca only to the strong!

He wanted people to respect him, to join their Loyalty Guild, so he had to demonstrate his strength.

He couldn’t, however, perform to show off his strength in front of everyone all the ti. He could only display his proper strength at certain tis, letting the spectators naturally spread the word.

If survivors had a choice, they would naturally want to join the forces of the strong.

The pathetic side of Zhou Long shown in the previous fight, if spread, would be inappropriate for both him personally and the Loyalty Guild. Hence, he had to restore his image.

Huang Wu and Qi De shared the sa thoughts.

They wanted to display the strongest—or at least appear to be the strongest—side of themselves.

After exchanging glances, it was as if they all conveyed the sa ssage: no more holding back, ti to give it our all.

As for Wang Tao, they actually felt that he probably hadn’t concealed much.

After all, judging by his recent behavior, Wang Tao seed eager to share everything he knew without expecting anything in return.

They had to admit, Wang Tao was quite generous! Clearly, Wang Tao was not as calculating as they were.

Moreover, what Huang Wu had said before was right; how strong one was before Awakening was a thing of the past—after awakening, it was like the arrival of the apocalypse, where everyone once again stood on the sa starting line, equally strong!

So they believed Wang Tao must have tried his best.

Wang Tao naturally did not voice any opinions, as he was agreeable to any form of battle. Whether it was Awakeners fighting in a team or relying on military firepower, he had one goal—to snatch the kill.

All this took longer to say than it actually happened. In the blink of an eye, the monster that had run out already expanded to the size of a truck, though it was much longer, resembling a small train.

“What the heck is this? A centipede?”

Soone exclaid.

It was a centipede-like multi-legged arthropod monster, predominantly yellow and black in color.

It had two yellow antennae flickering on its head along with a pair of sharp black mandibles. The rest was covered in a shell with slender, sharp legs like iron thorns—anything beneath its feet would likely be instantly turned into mince.

Chirp—

After the monster grew bigger, it let out a grating screech, then charged towards the group.

Rumble rumble—

As it charged, it truly resembled a train, leaving two long trails in its wake, kicking up clouds of dust with its thorny legs, and even causing the ground to tremble.

Wang Tao was closest to the monster, and as it charged towards him, he remained unperturbed; instead, he nad it.

“Iron Thorn Centipede seems like a fitting na!”
