Chapter 179： Level 3 weapons

Chapter 179 Tier 3 Weapons

“Brother Wang, are you okay?”

Seeing Wang Tao coming up, Xu Xiaojun ran over immediately.

“Haha, it’s okay, the monster below has been solved!”

Wang Tao laughed.

This time I was lucky, I happened to have gasoline, and I happened to meet a plant monster that was very afraid of fire.

A big fire saved Wang Tao a lot of effort and avoided a lot of dangers. It was almost like cheating.

"It's good that you're all right! It's a pity that I couldn't help..."

Xu Xiaojun looked a little ashamed on his face.

Wang Tao saw this, patted Xu Xiaojun on the shoulder and said:

“Don’t think too much, let you guard the car, you are our retreat. If we didn’t have this retreat, I wouldn’t dare to attack with fire so boldly!”

Xu Xiaojun’s current strength is not bad, but he cannot see at night, and his movements at night will be greatly restricted, so he is not allowed to come with him. There is no way.

Wang Tao Although these were some words of comfort, Xu Xiaojun was still greatly encouraged after hearing them.

“Then let’s do it now…”

Wang Tao looked at the stars in the sky and said:

“Now find a place to rest and you will drive. We will meet Yang Changhong tomorrow morning.”

It is still too dangerous to travel at night. Unless it is an emergency, Wang Tao prefers to travel more safely during the day.

The agreement with Yang Changhong was for three days. Tomorrow happens to be the third day, so we can make it in time.

"good!"

Boom—

The off-road vehicle's engine roared and moved away from the scorched earth-like reservoir.

In the car, Wang Tao took a sip of water and then began to inspect the loot.

The first is the increase in the upper limit of blood volume. Although the tree root he killed did not increase any upper limit of blood volume, killing the human-faced tree monster did. Added 3849 directly!

So, Wang Tao’s blood volume is now [29999/29999]!

Before Wang Tao came, he just thought that since he got the news about the second-level zombies and they were not too far away, he naturally couldn't waste it. Even if there was no loot, it would be good to add some blood.

But he didn’t expect that when he came, he only had 15,000 blood, but when he returned, it would be almost 30,000!

Now we are only one drop of blood away from 30,000!

Of course, this drop of blood is not easy to obtain. He has now reached the upper limit of the second level. It is estimated that it will be the same as when he was at the first level. After all his abilities are promoted to the third level, he can be promoted to the third level and reach more than 30,000 blood. But Wang Tao's current abilities are all +1, and it will take a lot of effort to upgrade them all...

But Wang Tao was satisfied, after all, the blood volume was gained much faster than he expected. The speed at which he can advance to the third level may actually be faster than the speed at which he can advance to the second level!

The human-faced tree monster is a third-level lord monster, and it is naturally a leapfrog kill for Wang Tao. So in addition to the increase in blood volume, there is also special energy - his special ability is directly increased by 6000!

Special energy and blood volume are the same. In other words, Wang Tao actually obtained the upper limit of 6000 blood volume. Unfortunately, it has reached the upper limit of the second level, so it can only add less than 4,000 blood.

Let’s talk about special energy. Adding these 6000, Wang Tao’s special energy reaches 13740!

This number of special energy can already extract two second-order abilities. Wang Tao can now directly extract the shock wave and precision shooting abilities, and then use the all-powerful crystal core to upgrade the barrier!

But there is no rush now, Wang Tao continues to look at other trophies.

Previously, he had killed the second-level zombies in the sea of ​​fire and obtained a lot of crystal nuclei. These nuclei were basically all that he had seen before. Among them, the ones that were useful to Wang Tao were shock wave, omnipotence and precision shooting.

As for the trophies they exploded, they were all potions, making materials, etc., and overall they were relatively average. However, these second-level zombies don’t have much health. Most of them have only been promoted to the second level not long ago. It’s normal that they don’t have any good things.

Then Wang Tao looked at the focus of this harvest, the loot obtained from the cave.

The tree roots with one hundred thousand blood only exploded one loot package.

Wang Tao thought that the roots of the tree would be like the flesh and blood in the Night Demon's lair, exploding with peeling crystal nuclei or something. But actually it’s not, it’s a tree root—

【Level 3 weapon·Twining tree roots】

【HP: 10000/10000 (upper limit 100000)】

【Status: Sleeping】

【Increase: HP, attack, defense (weakness: fear of fire)】

【Fitness: 0%】

“Third level…weapon?”

This was the first time Wang Tao had seen this thing. He quickly read the detailed explanation above.

【Weapon: a weapon that can only be used by humans】

【Twining tree roots: Can be wrapped around the body to provide oneself with extra HP, attack and defense, but has the limitation of "weakness: fear of fire"]

【Health volume: The blood volume of the weapon itself, the blood volume is cleared and the weapon dies】

【Status: The current state of the weapon, only weapons in the "awakened" state can be used】

【Amplification: The amplification attributes provided by weapons to humans】

Weapons can only be used when the degree of compatibility is greater than or equal to 1%. After using the weapon for a certain period of time, the degree of compatibility will decrease. The higher the compatibility between humans and weapons, the more potential the weapons can unleash. To improve the compatibility, you need crystal cores or your own blood volume to nourish the weapon. Nourishment will restore the weapon's current blood volume. After nourishing to 100%, the upper limit of the weapon's blood volume will be increased. If you use your own blood to nourish the weapon, you will fall into an extremely weak state]

After reading the introduction, Wang Tao looked surprised.

This is a living weapon!

If you wrap this entangled tree root around your body, it will be equivalent to an extra 10,000 HP, a certain amount of attack and defense!

If it is attacked, the health of the entangled tree root should be deducted first. If its health is deducted, the wearer's health will be deducted.

However, if you want to use this entangled tree root, you need to increase the compatibility, at least to 1% before you can use it.

The way to improve the compatibility is to use crystal nuclei or use your own blood to nourish the weapon. If you use the crystal core, you will definitely consume the crystal core. If you use your own blood volume, you will fall into an extremely weak state...

Wang Tao suddenly thought of the third-level monster he had just killed.

That monster is 99% weak and still has a lot of HP left. Is this nourishing the entangled tree roots?

If that’s the case, then everything seems to make sense—

Wang Tao had previously poured a lot of gasoline on the entangled tree roots and then set them on fire. The entangled tree roots are afraid of fire, so the flames will do a lot of damage to it. Its blood volume dropped wildly.

Using the monster that entangled the roots of the tree, I saw that the roots of the entangled tree kept losing blood, so I wanted to nourish it with my own blood. The monster may not be very intelligent, but it has the consciousness to protect what is its own.

In fact, the human-faced tree monster almost succeeded. It used its own blood to save the life of the entangled tree root. Otherwise, the fire may directly burn the entangled tree roots to ashes.

But after the flames went out, Wang Tao came in again. Wang Tao set the fire, and he must have come in to check the situation.

As a result, the entangled tree root with residual blood was found, and it was directly killed by Wang Tao. Then Wang Tao found the monster in an extremely weak state and killed the monster again...

If he had not set this fire, not only would he have to fight the entangled tree roots first, but even if he could wear the entangled tree roots to the brink of death with time, he might have to face a full-status third-level lord monster again!

Or worse luck, this monster comes out from the protection of the entangled tree roots, and the two attack Wang Tao at the same time... Then Wang Tao is definitely dead!

So we can only say that Wang Tao was really lucky this time. A potentially fatal crisis was averted.

Wang Tao, who was a little frightened, took a deep breath, and then took out the entangled tree root from the space backpack.

This is a black, thin, twisted tree root, the size of a palm, and looks ordinary, the kind that no one would pick up if thrown on the road.

After taking it out of the space backpack, its displayed status changes. It used to be "sleeping", but now it is "wakeable".

Wang Tao held it and could vaguely feel a very weak...consciousness?

He wasn't sure, but he felt as if he could wake it up by shouting at it.

So, Wang Tao said silently in his heart: Wake up.

But it didn't move much.

“Oh yes, I almost forgot, the current compatibility is still 0%…”

Wang Tao quickly took out a first-order crystal core. Then say silently again: Wake up.

As soon as I thought about it, I saw this section of tree roots slowly squirming, slowly wrapping the crystal core.

Then, the roots of this tree began to grow wildly, as if time had been accelerated.

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue beside him both widened their eyes.

A few seconds later, all the tree roots wrapped around Wang Tao. Only his head was exposed, and the rest of the body was covered, forming a full-body armor composed of tree roots!

Wang Tao moved his arms a little, and the tree roots also squirmed, basically not affecting his flexibility.

Wang Tao felt as if he was connected to a very weak and simple consciousness, and he thought to himself: cover his face. The tree roots on his body squirmed and blocked his face!

“It’s a bit magical!”

Wang Tao's buzzing voice came from the tree root armor.

Xu Xiaojun didn't pay attention just now. When he heard Wang Tao's voice, he subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror. Suddenly he was shocked.

How did Wang Tao become a monster!

“Wang, Brother Wang?”

Xu Xiaojun shouted in fear.

Then I saw the tree roots on the "monster's" face squirming, revealing Wang Tao's handsome face.

“Haha, Xiaojun, how about my new equipment?”

Wang Tao laughed. "Huh...Brother Wang, you're fine!"

Xu Xiaojun first breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Wang Tao in the rearview mirror in amazement.

“Brother Wang, this equipment of yours is so awesome! I almost thought it was a monster just now, it was so oppressive!”

“Haha, stop the car and I’ll go down and take a look.”

"good!"

Xu Xiaojun quickly stopped the car.

Wang Tao opened the door. The moment he got out of the car, the tree root armor on his body began to squirm again. Soon, under the faint starlight, a burly figure with a height of two and a half meters appeared in front of Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue.

Xu Xiaojun was originally taller and stronger than Wang Tao. But now when he looked at Wang Tao, he had to raise his head slightly.

As for Jiang Shixue, she was only 1.6 meters tall and could only raise her head as hard as she could.

“This feeling… is a bit refreshing!”

Wang Tao clenched his fists. He could clearly feel the strength bonus brought to him by the entangled tree roots.

Wang Tao took a look at his attributes.

【HP: 29999/29999 (10000/10000)】

He now has the equivalent of 40,000 blood!

Wang Tao glanced at the entangled tree roots again.

【Level 3 weapon·Twining tree roots】

【HP: 10000/10000】

【Status: Awakening】

【Increase: HP, attack, defense (weakness: fear of fire)】

【Fitness: 1%】

 There is no change in blood volume, and the compatibility only increases by 1%... But after all, this is a third-level weapon, and the first-level crystal core he uses, it feels good if the compatibility can increase by 1%.

Wang Tao took out another second-order crystal core. He had obtained a lot of second-order crystal nuclei in the past two days and could use it for experiments.

When Wang Tao was silently reciting nourishing and entwining tree roots in his heart, the tree roots on his body immediately squirmed, and then swallowed the second-order crystal core in his hand.

After a while, Wang Tao looked at the attributes of the entangled tree roots, and the fit became "11%"!

One first-order crystal core adds 1% to the fit degree, and one second-order crystal core adds 10% to the fit degree. From this point of view, one third-order crystal core should add 100% to the fit degree!

As for how much compatibility can be gained by using one's own blood to nourish the entangled tree roots, Wang Tao has no intention of testing it. After all, that extremely weak state is too dangerous. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Wang Tao does not have a crystal core, so there is no need to test it for the time being.

The attributes of the entangled tree roots do not specify how much strength and defense bonuses there are, but Wang Tao can sense that there is.

There were a few ordinary zombies on the roadside. Wang Tao went directly over to them and waved his huge fist.

boom! boom! boom!

The heads of these zombies exploded like ripe watermelons!

"Cool!"

Wang Tao felt like he didn't do much, he just waved his fist casually, and the heads of these zombies exploded!

 And this level of fit is still 11%. How powerful would it be if it were 100% fit? Will it directly allow him to have third-level combat power?

However, it is not that easy to improve the fit. Either use 100 first-order crystal cores, 10 second-order crystal cores, or 1 third-order crystal core... Although Wang Tao has many crystal cores, if he takes them all at once It hurts him to have so many crystal nuclei.

Furthermore, this level of fit does not mean that you no longer need to take care of it after it is improved. When using weapons, compatibility will be consumed.

If weapons are compared to cars, then the degree of fit is equivalent to the amount of fuel. The more oil there is, the more powerful the car is and the faster it goes. But when driving, the fuel will continue to be consumed. When the fuel is used up, you can no longer drive, and you have to refuel...

Wang Tao returned to the car and then had a thought.

The tree roots on his body began to squirm and shrink rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the tree root armor on Wang Tao disappeared, leaving only a small section of twisted tree roots on his hand.

Jiang Shixue’s eyes were bright, she felt this thing was so interesting.

Xu Xiaojun looked at Wang Tao with admiration. He didn't know where Wang Tao got this. Maybe he got it from the cave, but it doesn't matter. Brother Wang is done!

Wang Tao thought for a while, then took Jiang Shixue's little hand and put the root in her hand.

“Xiaoxue, give it a try.”

 Wang Tao briefly explained how to use it - it is actually very simple to use. As long as you can feel the weak consciousness when holding the root of the tree, you can use it.

“Okay~”

Jiang Shixue sensed it, and then saw the tree roots in her hands starting to grow crazily.

In a matter of seconds, a set of tree root armor was formed, wrapping Jiang Shixue tightly.

With the support of the tree root armor, Jiang Shixue is about 1.8 meters tall, but she is relatively slender. This set of tree root armor is also very slender, and has a special sense of beauty.

After letting Jiang Shixue experience it for a while, Wang Tao asked Xu Xiaojun to try it again.

Xu Xiaojun can also be used.

However, Xu Xiaojun is bigger. After being covered by the tree root armor, his height soared to three meters, making him much burlier than Wang Tao. If he were allowed to hold the two-meter-long giant ax again, the feeling of oppression would be simply overwhelming!

Xu Xiaojun giggled for a while, then quickly released the entanglement state and returned it to Wang Tao. After all, Wang Tao said that using this thing consumes crystal cores, and he cannot waste the crystal cores.

Wang Tao looked at this section of tree root and thought silently in his mind. Then he saw the tree root squirming and turned into a bracelet, which was put directly on Wang Tao's right wrist.

“This is much more convenient!”

Put the entangled tree root into the space backpack, and it will fall into a "sleeping" state. After taking it out, you must wake it up before you can use it. And if you put it on your body, it will be in the "awakening" state and can be used immediately, which will be much more convenient.

After briefly testing the entangled tree roots, Wang Tao saw a small building and asked Xu Xiaojun to drive over.

After briefly cleaning up the small building, several people had something to eat. Xu Xiaojun began to watch the night, while Wang Tao continued to check the loot.

The third-level monster he killed had a red crystal core in its brain.

【Third-order crystal core·Tree essence】

【Quality: Excellent (80%)】

【Purity: 40% (Side Effect: Body becomes lumber)】

【Tree Essence: Non-females cannot fuse successfully, and can produce tree essence that can enhance the strength of living beings】

Wang Tao frowned a little when he saw the properties of this third-order crystal nucleus.

Can non-women integrate successfully?

He suddenly felt discriminated against! The sensory core was discriminated against last time, now again? And this is not a side effect and cannot be eliminated.

But after taking a closer look at the tree essence information, Wang Tao was stunned.

How is this tree essence produced? Where did it come from?

——

Wang Tao seemed to have thought of something terrible.

No wonder only women can be integrated!

“This is a good ability. It’s just that the side effects of lumbering the body are a bit big. Don’t end up turning into a true vegetative state... By the way, I also have this tree essence!”

Wang Tao suddenly remembered that when he was in the cave, he found a lot of white liquid from under the tree root entangled with a hundred thousand blood.

He looked at the white liquid in the space backpack.

【Tree Essence*9364】

【Tree essence: can enhance the strength of living things】

This tree essence is a bit like a zombie culture solution. They all enhance strength. However, the zombie culture solution can only be used by zombies, while the tree essence seems to be used by both humans and zombies!

But this enhancement, I don’t know if it will increase blood. If it can increase blood, Wang Tao will waste it if he uses it now, after all, his current blood volume is already full.

“Let’s try it on Xiaoxue and Xiaojun and see what the effect is…”

Wang Tao is going to use them as guinea pigs.

However, Wang Tao thought of another question, why does this third-level monster need to cultivate zombies?

This tree essence can be used by itself, right? Or cultivate plants, after all, it is a plant monster. There is no need to cultivate zombies. At that time, Wang Tao thought there was a third-level zombie similar to a green-eyed zombie...

After thinking about it carefully, Wang Tao felt that there were two possibilities.

One is that this human-faced tree-bodied monster is stupid and cannot tell the difference between itself and zombies. But this is unlikely.

That is probably the second possibility. The human-faced tree monster wants to train some bodyguards for it!

It is hiding underground by itself and may not be very safe. But if there are second-level zombies outside holding the door for it, it will be much safer!

After all, there are so many zombies here, who dares to come over easily.

It's a pity that it didn't expect that Wang Tao not only burned all the zombies to death, but also exposed its lair...

But there is another question. With the strength of a third-level lord, why should it hide underground and create a group of bodyguards in batches...

What is it avoiding? Or is it protecting something?
