Chapter 543: Zombies become sacrifices
“Well done! I’ll give you some nutrition.”
Wang Tao took out nutritional solutions of various flavors, unscrewed them and handed them to Hua Bao.
The leopard very humanely caught the nutrient solution with its paws, and then imitated the lightning next to it and poured the nutrient solution into its mouth.
The leopard's originally round eyes became even rounder. It means it’s delicious, much tastier than those plants!
Wang Tao smiled and stroked the leopard's head.
It has been more than half a day since the leopard surrendered.
During this period of time, under the leadership of Hua Bao, Wang Tao couldn't even remember how many mutant plants he had killed. He only knew that he had collected a large number of fifth-order crystal nuclei, some of which he could use.
According to this progress, it may not be long before Wang Tao has enough crystal cores to advance to the sixth level.
However, although there are many mutant plants here, the number is also limited. As more and more mutant plants are hunted, Wang Tao's efficiency will naturally slow down. Of course, the gains are also increasing.
The space within the crack is not infinite, and it is not the same from crack to crack.
This crack is different from the one Wang Tao went to before. The previous crack had two levels, and there were various treasure chests, disaster-level monsters, biological weapons, etc. inside.
But this crack seems to have only one layer. Anyway, Wang Tao has not found the entrance to the second layer so far, and Hua Bao also said that he has never seen the second layer.
Although the area of this fissure is not as large as that fissure, there are many mutant plant forests inside. Jiang Shixue finally got over her addiction to fighting.
But unfortunately, Wang Tao has not found any summoning altar for the time being. And besides leopards, Wang Tao didn't see any other mutant beasts.
Hua Bao said that this is because the mutant beasts are very vigilant, and they will definitely find out if a large number of mutant plants die. Faced with a few people they can't match, they will definitely choose to hide.
In this environment, those mutated beasts were hiding deliberately, but Wang Tao couldn't find them for a while.
The reason why Wang Tao wanted to find these mutant beasts was not to kill them for trophies, but to conquer them. After all, here is the example of leopards. If they can be allowed to protect Changhe Base, that is obviously better than killing them.
“It’s up to you to find these mutated beasts.”
Wang Tao stroked the leopard's smooth hair.
“Woo?”
Hua Bao doesn’t quite understand.
“Let’s talk about it later. Now we have something important to do, so we have to leave here temporarily.”
“Woo?”
Hua Bao was even more confused.
leave? where to?
"Um?"
Seeing Hua Leopard’s curious look, Wang Tao asked strangely:
“Don’t you know how to get out?”
“Woo~”
After Hua Bao’s explanation, Wang Tao was suddenly a little surprised.
He originally thought that the leopard ran away from a zoo, but the leopard told Wang Tao that it had been in this dark place since it could remember. It has never seen the outside world, nor does it know that there is an outside world. It thinks the world is just cracked...
“Do you have parents?”
Leopard means no. It has always been a leopard since it can remember. And this so-called "memory" does not start from when it was a child, but from when it mutated. Its memories before the mutation were very vague.
“This is very interesting…”
Lightning remembers his parents, not only his parents, but also his previous master and his comrades who fought alongside him.
The golden eagle also remembers his parents, his last master, and some other golden eagles he met before.
But this leopard didn’t remember anything. It's like it suddenly appeared in the cracks...
“But it’s the end of the world after all, and the appearance of cracks is miraculous. It’s not a big deal if you don’t understand the origin of the leopard. Anyway, as long as the leopard is obedient...”
Wang Tao doesn’t get entangled. There are too many unreasonable things in the apocalypse. There is no need to get entangled. Just live the present moment.
“Then I’ll take you out and see the outside world!”
“Woo~”
Leopard expressed great interest.
“I just don’t know if you can see the light after staying in this environment for a long time...”
The leopard's attributes do not have the negative status of being unable to see light. When Wang Tao used fireballs to attack those mutated plants, the leopard did not feel any discomfort. But no one can tell for sure, so you’d better try it yourself.
So, Wang Tao took Hua Leopard to the Mammoth Base ruins first.
“Have you been here?”
“Woo~”
The leopard said that it had seen this base from a distance, and it also knew that there was a lot of delicious food here, but it did not dare to come here because there was an aura that made it very scared.
Not only it, but also all the mutant beasts dare not come here. Among their mutant beasts, this place has long been listed as a forbidden area. However, Hua Bao said that fear is gone now.
"The terrifying aura...is it the summoning altar? Or is it the aura of the 'stone god'?"
Wang Tao shook his head.
“Come up with me first.”
If there is no problem with the leopard staying outside, Wang Tao is going to take it to the summoning altar. Then we will know whether it is the summoning altar that scares the leopard, or the so-called "stone god" that scares the leopard.
“Woo~”
Hua Bao followed Wang Tao with some anticipation and some timidity, and the group of people walked slowly up the road they came down before.
After a moment, everyone passed through the black fog, and their eyes suddenly became bright.
Wang Tao has long been accustomed to this change in environment. He didn't react much and quickly adjusted. Then he quickly looked at the leopard.
The leopard closed its eyes, obviously a little uncomfortable with this level of light, but it did not appear in any negative state, and its blood volume did not change much.
“It should be okay…”
Wang Tao touched his chin and muttered to himself.
After waiting for a while, the leopard slowly opened its eyes and looked at the bright and white world. It was obviously very excited and curious.
"adapted?"
“Woo~”
"Okay, let's go." After all, Hua Bao is a fifth-level lord, and his physique is completely different from that of ordinary people. If an ordinary person had been in the dark for so long and suddenly saw the light, there might be problems, but the leopard quickly adapted.
Wang Tao whistled, and a moment later, the golden eagle flew over.
The golden eagle and the leopard were both very curious about each other. Wang Tao briefly explained to them, and then let the golden eagle carry Wang Tao to the previous factory.
It has been almost 24 hours since Wang Tao put the zombies into the summoning altar. Wang Tao wants to know whether the zombies can be used as sacrifices.
The poisonous gas in the factory has long since dissipated, many zombies have turned into blood, and some bright crystal nuclei appeared in Wang Tao's field of vision.
It was still a little short of 24 hours, and since they had nothing to do, Wang Tao asked them to collect all the crystal nuclei. Although they are all low-level crystal cores, don’t give them up for free.
After collecting all the crystal nuclei on the ground, 24 hours finally arrived.
Wang Tao immediately came to the factory where he placed the summoning altar.
When he entered the door, he saw that the zombies whose limbs had been broken by him and had no ability to move were still there.
“Can’t zombies be used as sacrifices? That’s not right!”
Wang Tao was a little disappointed at first, but he suddenly remembered that after becoming a sacrifice, it did not mean that he would sacrifice immediately, but that he must make sure to start the sacrifice before the sacrifice could be sacrificed. If he doesn't turn on the sacrifice, the sacrifice is still good.
So Wang Tao thought silently in his heart: Sacrifice.
brush-
I saw black blood starting to flow out of the zombies in the summoning altar. The blood soaked into the lines under their feet. The zombies' bodies began to shrivel. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a piece of skin, and then even the skin turned into Ashes fell on the lines of the altar.
"it works!"
Wang Tao was immediately overjoyed.
Zombies can indeed be sacrificed!
Then when he becomes stronger, he can summon the so-called Stone God!
If only human beings could be used for sacrifice, Wang Tao would definitely not be able to do such a heartless thing, but zombies are different, there would be no psychological burden.
However, when all the zombies in the summoning altar were sacrificed, the expression on Wang Tao's face suddenly froze.
【Level 7·Summoning Altar】
【Quality: Excellent】
【Usable times: 1/3】
【Sacrifice: 0.3%】
【Function: Consume all sacrifices and randomly summon a seventh-level creature】
No, so many zombies were sacrificed, but only 0.3% of the sacrifices were counted? To activate the summons, a minimum of 1% of the sacrifice is required. In other words, Wang Tao's sacrifice this time did not even meet the minimum standard for summoning.
Although the level of the zombies in the summoning altar is indeed not high, after all, the high-level zombies were killed by Wang Tao, there are a lot of zombies, hundreds of them! But only 0.3%…
If we look at this situation, if Wang Tao wants to collect 100% of the sacrifices, he doesn't know how many zombies he has to sacrifice.
Furthermore, the scope of this altar is limited, and it should not be able to hold too many zombies at one time. In addition, each sacrifice takes 24 hours...it is a long way to go to get 100% of the sacrifices!
“I just don’t know if the number of sacrifices increased by sacrificing humans and zombies is the same..."
Wang Tao frowned.
He is obviously not the only one who received the Summoning Altar. There must be others who have obtained the Summoning Altar.
To use the Summoning Altar to summon, a minimum of 1% of the sacrifices are required.
Others cannot see the specific attributes of the summoning altar, but they can see the lines on the summoning altar. The lines will only appear when the sacrifice exceeds 1%; when the sacrifice reaches 100%, all the lines will light up.
Wang Tao now has hundreds of zombies, but the result is that they can't even get 1% of the sacrifices, so they can't be summoned, and the lines on the summoning altar don't show anything.
If other people who own the Summoning Altar also choose to use zombies for testing first, there is a high probability that they will not be able to directly get hundreds of zombies for testing like Wang Tao. At most, they will get a few to try.
As a result, they found that the lines were not displayed at all, and there was no way to summon them. Then do they think that zombies cannot be used as sacrifices?
And if they use humans to conduct experiments and find that a few humans can show patterns and can be summoned, then they will definitely think that only humans can be used as sacrifices!
If it really develops like this, there will be a big problem.
After all, human nature cannot stand the test. In the face of their own strength becoming stronger, some people will definitely choose to sacrifice their compatriots...
Wang Tao shook his head.
It's useless to think about it now. If this happens, he will definitely stop it, but there is no way he can prevent it...
Wang Tao looked at the leopard beside him.
“Can you still feel the terrifying aura from before?”
“Woo~”
Leopard means you can feel it, but only a little. Far less terrifying than it had felt before.
"It seems that it is not the summoning altar itself, but the stone god..."
Wang Tao touched his chin.
It is estimated that Tian Hua borrowed a lot of power from the Stone God. The strength of himself and his men was improved by the Stone God, so they must be tainted with the Stone God's aura. The Stone God should be at the seventh-level destruction level. It is reasonable for Huabao, a fifth-level lord, to feel despair.
“Okay, let’s continue back to the crack and clean up the mutated plants inside.”
After confirming that zombies can be used as sacrifices, Wang Tao's goal has been achieved and he can go back to hunting mutant plants.
As for using zombies as sacrifices, there is no rush now, because there are very few zombies outside, and you won’t be able to find them for a while. If you encounter zombies in the future, you can keep them as sacrifices, but there is no need to go looking for them.
The group returned to the crack again and started cleaning up the crack.
But this time, Wang Tao gave Leopard a task—to lure out other mutant beasts.
Those mutated beasts have been avoiding Wang Tao, which is not okay. Wang Tao is still waiting to tame them.
Wang Tao himself would definitely not be able to attract them, he could only rely on the leopards for this.
According to what Hua Leopard said before, their mutant beasts will also hunt each other. It does not dare to be injured, otherwise it will become the prey of other mutant beasts. In the same way, if other mutant beasts find it injured, they probably won't let it go!
Of course, the leopard is indeed low on health now. Wang Tao doesn’t have a wet nurse around him, so he can’t add health to it, so it is still risky to let it be used as bait.
So for safety reasons, Wang Tao asked Jiang Shixue and Lightning to follow the leopard secretly to protect it. If other mutant beasts appear, they can just call Wang Tao over while protecting the leopard.
Wang Tao himself went to hunt the remaining mutant plants. After all, when he hunted enemies of the same level, he would explode the loot package. It would be a waste to let others hunt.
After the division of labor was completed, Wang Tao and the others immediately split up.
Wang Tao started to search like a carpet according to the previous progress. It didn't take long before he found the mutated plant, which was a fifth-level lord.
It can only be said that the mutated plants here are in bad luck when they encounter Wang Tao.
I don’t know how long it took, but Wang Tao suddenly received a radio message from Jiang Shixue, saying that a mutant beast was discovered and the leopard fished successfully!
“Well done, wait for me!”
Wang Tao immediately collected the trophies he had just obtained and ran non-stop towards Jiang Shixue's position.
After arriving here, Wang Tao was suddenly a little surprised.
“Huh? Why is it still a black and red leopard, and it looks exactly the same..."
