Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

He immediately activated his self-healing ability, allowing his HP to slowly recover. Then, cradling Yang Changhong in his arms, he began to check the loot from the battle.

Wang Tao wasn’t sure what exactly the flame monster was. Regardless, it had dropped quite a few things, and they seemed pretty decent.

First was the special energy; it brought Wang Tao 28,000 units of special energy and also provided him with an Awakening Key. Wang Tao now had three Awakening Keys.

Then there were the Crystal Cores. Inside the flame monster’s head was a [Level 4 Crystal Core: Mental Defense].

No wonder Wang Tao’s mental attacks had no effect on it.

Of course, Wang Tao’s mental attacks weren’t strong since he didn’t mainly focus on mental attacks.

The Loot Pack from the flame monster contained a total of five Crystal Cores, including a red [Fourth-Order Crystal Core: Promotion], a purple [Fourth-Order Crystal Core: Versatility], a blue [Fourth-Order Crystal Core: Self-healing], and an orange [Fourth-Order Crystal Core: Explosion].

Including this Ascension Crystal Core, Wang Tao now had four in all—two of Excellent quality and two of Epic. He could integrate them now!

But there was no rush; he would finish looking through the loot first.

Ordinary Crystal Cores contained only one pattern, and they were generally distinguished by this pattern.

But the Explosion was different—it had two patterns: one was a little flickering flame, and the other was a red light point that contracted and expanded intermittently.

[Fourth-Order Crystal Core: Explosion]

[Quality: Epic (100%)]

[Purity: 35% (Side effect: after use, HP drops to 1%)]

[Explosion: Compress all awakening energy, then detonate it instantly (the power is related to the amount of awakening energy, only the Fire Awakened can merge it)]

This Explosion Ability was the flame monster’s final ultimate move.

However, this Crystal Core was significantly different from the others, not only in appearance.

First was the merging issue; it stated that only “Fire Awakened” could integrate it. So does this mean Awakeners would be categorized into fire, water, and the like after awakening?

Next was the side effect issue; this Crystal Core only had side effects when used, which was different from the others.

Finally, there was the consumption issue; this ability didn’t consume mana but awakening energy instead. The more awakening energy one had, the greater its power.

Wang Tao guessed that this flame monster must have had a lot of awakening energy, which was why its power was so immense…

Wang Tao looked toward the other loot.

In addition to the Loot Pack, the flame monster itself had dropped two items: one was the black armor-like covering on its body, and the other was a small flame.

[Received: Black Stone Armor x10]

[Black Stone Armor: Crafting material, can add certain defence, mental defence, element resistance, fire resistance, and flexibility to equipment]

This was a crafting material, but it improved several attributes!

No wonder Wang Tao’s mental attacks had no effect on the flame monster earlier. It wasn’t just because it had mental defence abilities, but also because of the Black Stone Armor!

The equipment made from this Black Stone Armor should be quite impressive!

[Received: Magic Flame x1]

[Magic Flame: Once released, it will grow into a Fire Beast. Once swallowed, it will grant a hidden ability]

“Eh?”

When he first saw the Magic Flame, Wang Tao felt it was somewhat similar to the Magic Seeds.

Now, upon closer inspection, it certainly was.

There were two options for dealing with the Magic Flame: release it or swallow it.

If released, it would supposedly grow into a “Fire Beast.” Could this Fire Beast be that flame monster, or was it something else?

Wang Tao wasn’t sure, but it was clearly not an option to release it since swallowing it would grant a Hidden Ability!

Without any hesitation, Wang Tao put the little flame into his mouth. Whether he held it in his hand or put it in his mouth, he felt no burning sensation. Instead, it was warm and very comfortable.

A moment later, the merge was complete.

[Magic Flame Merge Countdown: 9 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]

Like the previous Magic Seeds, merging successfully required ten days.

Ten days wasn’t a long time; Wang Tao could wait.

Then he looked towards the Loot Pack.

This flame monster had exploded into five Loot Packs.

Wang Tao usually got more than three packs for slaying above his level; five was quite lucky.

The first Crystal Core Gift Bag had already been checked.

The second pack contained Hand Grenades!

Wang Tao hadn’t seen this type of grenade item in a while.

[Received: Explosion Grenades x10]

[Explosion Grenade: Contains a certain amount of awakening energy; when detonated, creates an Explosion within a 50-meter radius]

“It contains a certain amount of awakening energy? So these grenades must be that Explosion Ability! But… a 50-meter radius?”

Wang Tao gasped in amazement, questioning whether it was a grenade or a missile.

A 50-meter radius! That would mean an explosion area of seven to eight thousand square meters—a standard stadium is about ten thousand square meters, which meant that the area covered by the explosion from this grenade was nearly as large as half a stadium!

All Wang Tao could say was stunning!

Ignoring the potential power for now, the range alone was already ridiculous.

And surely, the power wouldn’t be small considering it contained awakening energy!

Wang Tao stowed these grenades away, estimating they should be able to deal with Four-level zombies! If he encountered Four-level zombies again, he had another way to handle them!

Wang Tao turned to the third Loot Pack.

[Received: Awakening Energy Pearl x1]

Inside was an Awakening Energy Pearl.

This item clearly had a low drop rate, as the Explosion-proof Zombie hadn’t dropped any. The flame monster hadn’t dropped it directly; it came from its additional loot.

With this pearl, Wang Tao now had three.

The fourth pack contained the highly anticipated Blueprints!

He had several pieces of equipment that had been damaged in the recent action, and he was eager to see if there were any new equipment suitable for him.
