Chapter 214： Standard armor

Chapter 214 Standard Armor

While waiting for the entangled tree roots to evolve, Wang Tao looked at the other trophies.

First of all, it is the special energy. This iron tree monster brought 12,000 special energy to Wang Tao!

This is the time when Wang Tao killed a single zombie or monster and gained the most special energy. His special energy has now reached 75,000, and he can perform many operations again!

Then there is the crystal core gift pack, which contains a total of five crystal cores.

The first one is the red [Level 3 Crystal Core·Promotion], the second one is the purple [Level 3 Crystal Core·Almighty], and the third one is the blue [Level 3 Crystal Core·Powerful].

The fourth one is the essence of the tree that I saw before.

【Third-order crystal core·Tree essence】

【Quality: Normal (20%)】

【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】

Including this one, he has two. If we could use another tree essence crystal core to synthesize a crystal core with no side effects for people to fuse with... Why did Wang Tao suddenly feel a little hopeful?

The fifth crystal core is one that Wang Tao has never seen before.

【Third-order crystal core·Iron tree】

【Quality: Excellent (60%)】

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

【Iron Tree: Passive ability, the skin turns into hard iron bark, greatly increasing the defense. And have certain fire protection capabilities]

“No wonder it’s not afraid of fire! It turns out it’s because of this ability!”

This Iron Tree Monster does not have the [Absorb Nutrients] and [Photosynthesis] abilities, resulting in a significant drop in battery life, but it is not afraid of fire!

But speaking of bark, Wang Tao thinks that the iron bark material can be made into armor? After all, the defense is high and it can prevent fire...

Wang Tao continued to check the loot packages.

The second loot package contains tree essence.

【Get: Tree Essence*10000】

The plant monster that was killed before also released 10,000 copies of tree essence. These are all good things!

The third loot package contains potions.

【Obtain: Strength Potion (Small)*10】

【Obtain: Defense Potion (Small)*10】

【Obtain: Strength-increasing potion*5】

【Obtain: Defense Growth Potion*5】

There are actually 5 bottles of strength-increasing potions and 5 bottles of defense-increasing potions.

Wang Tao just injected without saying anything.

ification

Wang Tao felt a little stronger again.

As for the last trophy package, Wang Tao's eyes lit up as to what was inside.

【Get: Iron Tree Armor Blueprint*1】

【Iron Tree Standard Armor Blueprint: After learning it, you can make one set of Iron Tree Standard Armor each time. Materials required: Iron bark*1, any crystal nucleus*1 (first-order, second-order, and third-order crystal nuclei can be used), iron block*10, screws*10, rubber*10, gauze*10, steel wire*10]

【Iron Tree Standard Armor: Unknown Attributes】

This is a set of armor production drawings!

And this is not the point. The point is that the blueprints for making this set of armor are not one-time use! But like potion blueprints, once you learn it, you can keep making it!

The equipment blueprints he obtained before could only be used once and were gone after use, which was completely different from this blueprint.

“Is it because this drawing is called ‘standard armor’? None of the previous equipment drawings said it was standard…”

Wang Tao used this drawing directly without saying anything.

He happened to have all the materials in hand, so Wang Tao used a first-order self-explosion crystal core, a second-order maw king crystal core, and a third-order defensive crystal core to test it himself.

A moment later, three sets of brown armor appeared in front of Wang Tao.

The three sets of armor are all full-body armors, which seem to be able to wrap a person tightly, but there are some subtle differences in the appearance of the three sets of armors.

【Iron tree standard armor】

【First level (ordinary)】

【Durability +10, defense +10, certain fire resistance】

The first set of iron tree armor looks the simplest, with no complicated lines. This is a set of first-level armor.

【Iron tree standard armor】

【Second level (ordinary)】

【Durability +20, defense +20, certain fire resistance】

The second set of iron tree armor is slightly more complicated than the first set. This is a set of second-level armor.

【Iron tree standard armor】

【Third level (ordinary)】

【Durability +30, defense +30, certain fire resistance】

The third set of armor is more complicated, with some beautiful natural patterns on it. This is naturally the third level armor.

Armor made using three types of crystal nuclei is different in appearance and properties.

But even the first-level armor is still a very good piece of equipment. After all, the equipment worn by many people now is made of steel plates, iron plates, etc. The defense may be adequate, but relatively speaking, it is definitely not as convenient and comfortable as this set of armor.

Wang Tao experimented with several crystal nuclei of different qualities, and found that the armors produced were all of ordinary quality.

 It seems that there should be no other qualities, but after all, it is standard armor, and it is normal that the attributes are the same.

These armors can naturally be stored in the space backpack. Wang Tao left a set of third-level armor outside, and he asked Jiang Shixue to try it out.

The clothes are quite suitable, but because this is a full-body armor, it does not move like the entangled tree roots, so Jiang Shixue's speed is seriously affected.

“I don’t want to wear it, it’s inconvenient to move around.”

Jiang Shixue looked at Wang Tao with wide eyes.

“Okay, then don’t wear it yet.”

Anyway, the armor is in Wang Tao's space backpack and can be taken out at any time when needed.

"But it's useless for me to have so many armors myself. I can trade them with others..."

Wang Tao muttered again.

At present, this thing should be more valuable than crystal cores or anything else. But when everyone's level increases in the future, rising to level three or above, this thing may not be so valuable. So Wang Tao thought he could make some and sell some of them. Anyway, he has learned the production method forever and can still make it in the future...

The iron tree monster's loot was finished, but there was still a loot, that was those iron tree vines.

When he killed the iron tree monster before, the health bars of these vines also began to decrease rapidly. Seeing that the health bars were about to be cleared, Wang Tao eliminated them before they died.

There were eight Iron Tree vines in total, which also gave Wang Tao eight loot packages.

The contents of these eight loot packages are all very similar, a total of eight second-order peeling crystal cores, and they are all epic! It seems that the peeling crystal core exploded like this is an epic?

【Second-order crystal nucleus·peeling】

【Quality: Epic (100%)】

【Purity: 45% (Side Effects: None)】

【Strip: After fusion, you can freely choose to strip yourself of a third-level ability. The stripped superpower will form a new core without side effects]

Counting these eight crystal nuclei, Wang Tao has a total of 13 peeling crystal nuclei.

Wang Tao cannot use this thing himself, but it can be used by others, and it is a good thing that can be traded.

“Let’s go see if there’s anything else here.”

"good."

Wang Tao sensed that there were no other creatures in the underground parking lot, but for safety reasons, the two of them still conducted a separate search very cautiously.

"Nothing at all…"

After searching around, the two shook their heads at each other.

This underground parking lot is almost within the territory of this iron tree monster. Apart from it, there are no other monsters.

Wang Tao remembered the information given by the Bauhinia Base before. Fortunately, they blocked this place. If they come down to clean up and encounter the iron tree monster, they will probably be wiped out. After all, the combination of Iron Tree Monster and Iron Tree Vine is too powerful.

Wang Tao looked at the entangled tree roots that were still evolving, and he tried to contact Lan Yulian using the walkie-talkie. It was found that no one could be contacted, including Xu Xiaojun, Nie Siyan and others.

“No signal…”

Wang Tao climbed out from the hole he entered before.

“Zizzi…zizi…”

“I am Wang Tao, I am Wang Tao…”

A moment later, Wang Tao received a reply.

"Wang Tao! Where are you? This place you recommended is very good. Come to us! These third-level zombies are very weak and are relatively easy to kill! And there are many obstacles here. We can form a defense line and kill them slowly. , I have already obtained several third-level promotion crystal cores!”

Lan Yulian’s excited voice came from the intercom.

When Wang Tao heard this, he immediately smiled:

“I’ll be there in half an hour. Just hope you’re safe.”

He has to wait for the entangled tree roots to evolve.

"Okay! We are waiting for you! By the way, the large forces from the Bauhinia Base are also here. It is estimated that they can attack the stadium in half an hour at most."

"Oh? Okay, I understand." There was an airdrop before, and the people at Bauhinia Base all went to pick up the airdrop, which wasted a lot of time, and they are rushing here now.

After speaking to Lan Yulian for a few more words, Wang Tao ended the call. However, he did not go down. Instead, he asked Jiang Shixue to wait for the entangled tree roots to evolve while he went to visit other places.

This gymnasium is very big, and it is full of zombies. There are also many weak third-level ones. Wang Tao is going to take advantage of this time to accumulate special energy.

It took Wang Tao half an hour to kill more than a dozen ordinary third-level zombies and save another 30,000 special energy. Finally, several third-level promotion crystal cores were revealed.

He had killed all the zombies nearby. Wang Tao felt that time was almost up and was about to go back.

Boom~

Suddenly, he heard some movement outside, which seemed to be from areas A and B.

“Are they coming?”

Wang Tao was thoughtful and returned to the underground parking lot.

Looking at the entangled tree roots, it will take ten minutes.

At this time, the body of the Iron Tree Monster was deflated, as if it had been sucked dry by the entangled tree roots. Wang Tao waited for another ten minutes.

Finally, the evolutionary countdown wrapped around tree roots is over.

——

The entangled tree roots immediately broke away from the iron tree monster's body and flew towards Wang Tao.

Wang Tao stretched out his hand, and it wrapped tightly around Wang Tao's wrist, like a delicate iron bracelet.

Wang Tao looked at its attributes.

【Level 3 weapon·Tangled iron tree root】

【HP: 20000/20000 (upper limit 100000)】

【Status: Awakening】

【Increase: HP, attack, defense, fire resistance】

【Fitness: 100%】

First of all, the name has changed. The name has become Twisted Iron Tree Roots, with the addition of the word "iron".

Then the blood volume was directly increased by 10,000, which was equivalent to saving Wang Tao a lot of crystal nuclei.

But the most important thing is its increase. The weakness of being afraid of fire is gone, but it has an additional attribute of fire resistance!

This is very important to Wang Tao. After all, this was originally a fatal weakness, but now it has become an increase for him. There has been a big improvement in survivability!

“Let’s go out and have a look.”

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue returned to the first floor from the entrance of the cave.

As soon as the two of them returned to the first floor, the intercom rang.

“Wang Tao! Are you there? Help!”

It’s Lan Yulian’s voice.

Wang Tao immediately pressed the call button.

“I’m here, what’s wrong?”

"Oh my God, I have contacted you. I thought you... We are rushing out from Area C now. The zombies are too strong and we have suffered heavy losses. Nie Siyan and the others are with me... See if you can come first. If not If so, just leave first and leave us alone..."

“Huh? Why did you go to Area C?”

Wang Tao was a little confused.

"All the zombies in Area E have been killed, but there are no zombies in Area F. Just then, a large force arrived and asked us to attack Areas A and B together. But the zombies in Areas A and B are too strong for us to defeat, so we have to retreat first, but The back road was blocked by other zombies, so we had to retreat to Area C. There were also many zombies in Area C, and we couldn't get out for a while..."

Listening to Lan Yulian’s clear explanation, Wang Tao said calmly:

“Okay, hold on, wait for me to pass.”

“Okay, you...thank you!”

After Wang Tao ended the call, Wang Tao tried to contact Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan again. Xu Xiaojun's walkie-talkie seemed to be broken and he could not contact them. But I contacted Nie Siyan.

“Brother Wang! Help!”

Nie Siyan immediately shouted excitedly after hearing Wang Tao's voice.

Wang Tao asked some about the situation there, and what Lan Yulian said was similar. Everyone lost half of their manpower. But the main staff are still fine.

"hold onto."

Wang Tao asked her to continue, and then looked at Jiang Shixue.

“Is your injury really okay?”

Jiang Shixue had an injury before. Although it was not serious, there were many red marks, which was very distressing to see.

But now, Jiang Shixue’s injuries are gone! And the blood volume is almost restored to full value!

Wang Tao feels that Jiang Shixue has some ability similar to self-healing...

“Brother, I’m fine!”

Feeling Wang Tao's concern, Jiang Shixue smiled sweetly.

“Okay, as long as it’s okay, let’s go to Area C!”

“Okay~”

After confirming that there was no problem, Wang Tao headed towards Area C with her.

…

Zone C.

Countless zombies gathered outside a simple fortification. They roared and attacked the fortification.

Inside the fortifications, more than thirty people struggled to resist the attacks of zombies outside.

Lan Yulian's clothes were a little torn and there was some blood on her body, but it was not her blood. She was among the crowd, adding blood to others from time to time.

But her ability to add blood has some intervals, and she can only add blood to one person at a time. So in just a short period of time, many people were injured.

Lan Yulian's forehead was covered with sweat, but she didn't panic and still observed the surrounding situation very calmly.

At this time, Lu Yingfeng, who had a lot of blood on her face, came to Lan Yulian and asked with some concern:

“Yulian, how are you? Can you still persist?”

Blue Jade Lotus's ability is to increase blood, which doesn't seem to be dangerous, but using this ability is very energy-consuming. Lan Yulian's face is very pale now, obviously she has used too much energy.

"I'm alright!"

Lan Yulian nodded.

She felt she could still hold on.

“If it doesn’t work, just use the rejuvenating potion…”

Lu Yingfeng sighed.

“No, there is no way we can rush out now, even if we use the potion. But if we use the potion, we will be weak for a day tomorrow. If we don’t go out tomorrow, it will be the end..."

Hair-changing and upgrading potion is a good thing. It can restore a person's physical strength and spirit to full at critical moments, but it will make her weak the next day. Unless she has no other choice, she tries not to use it. After all, they are not at home now, but are being besieged by a large number of third-level zombies!

“Okay…then hold on!”

Lu Yingfeng’s endurance is much stronger than Lan Yulian’s, and she can still persist now. Of course, I can't hold on for too long.

She asked again:

“When will reinforcements from the second and third brigade arrive?”

The second brigade is the prison, and the third brigade is the alliance.

“I guess there’s no chance, I can’t contact you for the time being...”

Lan Yulian shook her head.

"this…"

Lu Yingfeng's face looked a little ugly.

They received news from the First Brigade before, saying that they were attacking Areas A and B together. There are many zombies in these two areas, which also means there are many zombie nuclei.

At that time, they happened to clean up the zombies in Area E, so they went to join the first group.

Their Fourth, Fifth and First Battalions attacked Area A, while their Second and Fourth Battalions attacked Area B.

In the end, both sides failed!

The zombies in areas A and B are too strong and there are too many. It's simply not something they can deal with.

The First Brigade withdrew decisively first. Lan Yulian was fighting at the time and couldn't get away, so she was delayed for a while. When they retreated, many zombies came outside, blocking Lan Yulian's retreat!

The First Brigade and the Fifth Brigade are being chased by zombies. The Second Brigade and the Third Brigade said they suffered heavy losses, and then they couldn't be contacted, and they didn't know if anyone was still alive.

Lan Yulian and the others now have more than thirty people left, and they can only barely resist. Trying to rush out is a fool's errand. If there were no reinforcements, they might really be trapped here...

Even Lu Yingfeng, who has always been relatively confident, is now a little pessimistic.

But at this moment, I heard Lan Yulian say:

“But I have contacted Wang Tao and he is on his way here!”

“Huh? He’s coming!”

Lu Yingfeng was a little surprised at first, but soon became worried.

In this situation, it doesn't seem to work if Wang Tao comes. After all, there are too many zombies outside! Unless Wang Tao can attract all the zombies outside...

…

Wang Tao finally saw the sign for Area C after a lot of effort.

At the same time, we also saw the zombies in area C.

"so much!"

Looking at the black mass of human heads, Wang Tao felt a little numb.

Because he discovered that the zombies taken from siege C were not ordinary zombies, but third-level crazy zombies!
