Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1525 - 638: Successive Ascension to Level 6
Chapter 1525: Chapter 638: Successive Ascension to Level 6
After ascending to Level 6, they naturally needed to familiarize themselves with their current strength, so Wang Tao spent some time testing with them.
It can only be said that after reaching Level 6, things are indeed different. In the past, they could barely handle one move from Wang Tao, but now... they could finally manage to withstand two or three moves.
"Truly abnormal!"
Xiang Hongbin sighed, and this "abnormal" he was referring to wasn’t himself, but Wang Tao.
Even though he was now on the same level as Wang Tao, he was still no match for him, not even close!
Moving up would mean reaching the Seventh Level. Could it be that one would have to wait until then to have a chance of defeating Wang Tao?
Of course, he wasn’t fixated on whether he could defeat Wang Tao; he was merely in awe of Wang Tao’s "abnormal" capabilities.
"Indeed!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Previously, while sparring with Wang Tao, they didn’t dare go all out due to their weak strength. But now, they finally experienced Wang Tao’s true power; aside from abnormal, they didn’t know what else to say.
"Keep it up!"
Wang Tao said with a smile as he patted Xiang Hongbin on the shoulder.
...
The next day.
Wang Tao, along with the members of Starfire Society, took the Golden Eagle to the Rift closest to Changhe Base.
Wang Tao had already informed them about the Rift containing seawater and the emergence of a Sea Beast, naturally arousing everyone’s curiosity. So, they all followed Wang Tao to see if there was a chance to kill the Sea Beast.
This Rift was quite close to Changhe Base, and Cheng Yiyi had mentioned that these Sea Beasts could come ashore. So, Wang Tao wanted to eliminate this threat before the next outing, as much as possible.
At this time, the area around the Rift had been completely marked as a restricted zone, with no humans around, only zombies staggering about.
The appearance of the Golden Eagle instantly caught the attention of many zombies.
Seeing these zombies, Wang Tao suddenly had an idea. He used his spiritual power to control the Ordinary Zombies to move them near the Rift to see if it could attract the Sea Beast.
Unfortunately, despite Wang Tao’s efforts, not even a shadow stirred in the water.
Clearly, the Sea Beast probably didn’t eat zombies, after all, they also carried impurities, and if the concentration of Internal Impurity was too high, it would cause them to die explosively just like humans.
So after some thought, Wang Tao decided to use himself as bait again, to see if he could lure out the Sea Beast.
He instructed the Golden Eagle to reduce its altitude and fly low over the Rift.
This height was definitely sufficient for the previous Sea Beast to gulp down in one bite.
However, the Golden Eagle was quick to respond, and Wang Tao was also using his spiritual power at full strength. As long as there was any movement, they would be able to detect and respond to it instantly.
But it was unclear whether the Sea Beast had left, was afraid, or was simply patient. The Golden Eagle flew over the area for the entire morning and there was no sign of activity in the water.
Wang Tao thought that the Sea Beast had probably not left, as it wasn’t injured last time, so it might be hiding somewhere.
But if it didn’t show itself, there was nothing Wang Tao could do. He couldn’t possibly dive into the water to look for it; the sea was the Sea Beast’s territory, and although Wang Tao could dive, his combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced underwater, making it unwise to go in.
However, this situation suggested that perhaps there was only one Sea Beast in this Rift. If there were other Sea Beasts, they would have surfaced by now. That was somewhat good news...
"I wonder how these Sea Beasts differentiate between humans and zombies. Vision? Taste? Spiritual power? If it’s not some sort of range-based spiritual power detection, I think we might be able to bait it out, right?"
That’s when Xiang Hongbin suddenly spoke up.
"Hmm? What do you mean..."
"Since it doesn’t eat zombies, only humans. Then they should eat pork, right? Pork doesn’t have impurities, and our base is raising a lot of mutant pigs..."
Xiang Hongbin’s eyes shone.
He had always liked fishing but never had the time. Now, it seemed there might be an opportunity to fish.
"That seems feasible, let’s go back and look into it!"
After confirming that the Sea Beast wouldn’t appear, Wang Tao and his group flew back to the base.
They went to the City Hall and discussed with the others.
To lure the Sea Beast out, bait was easy to handle; some pork should do, and if that didn’t work, they could use live pigs. If the Sea Beast was still around, they didn’t believe it wouldn’t take the bait.
As for Wang Tao and his companions, they would hide first to avoid the Sea Beast from detecting them and not falling for it. Although according to Cheng Yiyi, Sea Beasts weren’t very intelligent, it was always better to be cautious.
So now there was only one problem left: what kind of hook to use to catch the Sea Beast. They didn’t need to hook it completely; as long as they could prevent it from returning to the sea, even for a short time, Wang Tao was confident he could kill it. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Xiang Hongbin noted that now they were all Sixth Rank Awakened, their strength incomparable to before. With so many of them striking together, they could definitely kill the Sea Beast in a short time. After all, it was just a Sixth Rank Disaster.
After some discussion, the committee formulated a "fishing plan," which was ultimately approved and decided by Wang Tao.
The content of the plan wasn’t complicated. It was similar to what Xiang Hongbin had suggested: use pork to lure the Sea Beast out and then Wang Tao and the others would join forces to kill it.
As for controlling the Sea Beast while luring it out, there was no other method currently; they would have to rely on Abilities or Awakening to control it.
However, it’s a difficult task to control a Sixth Rank Disaster because the suppression effect of the control ability in relation to the level is very evident.
For example, a Level 5 human may be able to defeat a sixth-rank zombie with some effort. But for a Level 5 to physically control a Sixth Rank Zombie, that’s much harder. Even if they can control it, it would last only about a second or two.
