Chapter 572 - 241: Reaching 110,000 HP_3
Chapter 572 - 241: Reaching 110,000 HP_3
Wang Tao casually picked an opponent and struck, a damage figure of [-11349] floated up, the second strike [-12844], and the third strike directly zeroed its HP bar!
After ascending to Level 3, Wang Tao no longer considered killing these Level 3 Elite Zombies as over-level kills, so he only obtained a Loot Pack.
Moreover, the pack did not contain Crystal Cores or Potions but an Ultraviolet Suit instead.
[Acquired: High Power Ultraviolet Flashlight x1]
[Acquired: Mini Ultraviolet Illumination Shells x20]
He didn’t lack flashlights, but illumination shells were consumable, so it was fine to have more.
"Kill!"
Wielding his "Entangling Roots" which gave him a hefty hundred thousand HP, Wang Tao rushed directly into the Night Demon zombie group.
At that moment, a blue figure suddenly appeared and instantly reached behind Wang Tao.
If this were before, Wang Tao might have really been successfully ambushed. After all, with so many Night Demons around, it was hard for Wang Tao to locate the Blue-skinned Night Demon.
But now, Wang Tao’s Perception Ability had already pinpointed the location of the Blue-skinned Night Demon!
Thus, the moment it appeared, Wang Tao reacted instantly. He swung his knife backwards without hesitation.
Bang!
The Blue-skinned Night Demon’s claws almost reached Wang Tao’s chest, but Wang Tao’s Bone Knife was longer and struck its head first.
[-6048]
A six thousand HP damage strike sent the Blue-skinned Night Demon flying.
Wang Tao dashed to where the Blue-skinned Night Demon landed and struck its head with another blow.
[-6129]
"Roar—"
The Blue-skinned Night Demon let out an enraged howl, and the ordinary Night Demons immediately swarmed Wang Tao.
Wang Tao’s recent Rush had taken him out of the Ultraviolet illumination flares’ area of effect, so the Night Demons swarmed him recklessly.
Wang Tao temporarily ceased attacking the Blue-skinned Night Demon, emitting a Shockwave toward the encircling Night Demons.
Boom—
The assaulting Night Demons were all knocked down and lost a third of their HP.
Taking advantage of their failure to get up, Wang Tao released two more Shockwaves.
Puchi!
The surrounding Night Demons had their HP bars reduced to zero!
Meanwhile, the Blue-skinned Night Demon took the chance to flee!
But now it was daytime outside, and the first-floor hall was blocked by Ultraviolet illumination flares, so it could only flee upwards.
Wang Tao immediately chased after it.
Along the way, there were many Incubation Flesh and half-incubated Night Demons, which Wang Tao had no time to inspect. He chased all the way to the rooftop, where the Blue-skinned Night Demon, finding no escape, turned to attack Wang Tao again.
With knife in hand, Wang Tao engaged in battle with it once more.
Facing Wang Tao now, the Blue-skinned Night Demon clearly was no match. Moments later, Wang Tao cleaved its skull in two.
After collecting the loot, Wang Tao immediately went downstairs to join Xu Xiaojun and others in killing the rest of the Night Demons. Night Demons were dangerous and not to be underestimated.
After spending some time, Wang Tao led the others in eradicating all the Night Demons, Incubation Flesh, and half-baked Night Demons within the Night Demon’s Nest!
After reassurance provided by his Perception Ability that no stragglers were left, Wang Tao then led everyone to the first-floor hall to tally the loot.
"Did you, did you all hunt Level 3 zombies like this before!"
Yang Changhong looked at Wang Tao with a mix of excitement and admiration.
```
Storming into the Night Demon’s Nest to hunt Night Demons, Yang Changhong only wanted to say one word—thrilling!
With Ultraviolet illumination flares at their disposal, Night Demons dared not to attack them. To a certain extent, as long as they had enough flares, they were on invincible terrain!
There were more than fifty Night Demons in total here, and Wang Tao had killed about twenty Ordinary Night Demons and one Blue-skinned Night Demon.
The remaining thirty Night Demons were all slain by them.
The thrill that Yang Changhong felt didn’t come from the killing itself, but from the clear sense that her strength had greatly improved!
She herself had slain a total of 15 Night Demons! Moreover, she found that Jiang Shixue was deliberately yielding kills to her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to kill so many.
One Night Demon could bring her an increase of 1500 to her maximum HP, so 15 of them amounted to an HP improvement of 22,500!
She had recently attained Level 3 Ascension and previously, after hunting zombies with Wang Tao, her HP was only around 32,000. Now, with such a sudden increase, her maximum HP shot up to over 50,000!
This significant boost in maximum HP was very pronounced; she would have become increasingly exhausted from combat before, but now she grew stronger the more she fought!
Such a degree of improvement was simply outrageous!
Wang Tao took a glance at Yang Changhong’s attributes.
[HP: 55000/55000]
[Mana: 14600/14600]
[Grade: Level 3]
[Internal Impurity: 11%]
Her HP had reached 55,000. The reason she could kill so many Night Demons was actually because of the instructions Wang Tao had previously given to Jiang Shixue, allowing Jiang Shixue to let her claim the kills. After all, Jiang Shixue wouldn’t gain HP from killing zombies, so taking the kills would be a waste.
Wang Tao laughed and said,
"That’s not it, the Night Demon’s Nest is rather hidden, and it’s not always possible to find it. Moreover, I lacked the strength before. This is my first time in such a condition."
"It’s also my first time fighting in the Night Demon’s Nest..."
Xu Xiaojun scratched his head and said.
Not only Yang Changhong but also he and Nie Siyan reaped a great harvest.
His HP had reached 60,000, and Nie Siyan’s HP had also risen to 50,000!
However, the one with the greatest gains was naturally Wang Tao—his HP had reached the upper limit for Level 3!
He originally had an HP of 68,340. Although killing 20 Ordinary Night Demons wasn’t a feat of overpowering, it still added 30,000 to his HP.
Then, he killed a Blue-skinned Night Demon.
The Blue-skinned Night Demon was a Level 3 Lord, which counted as killing above his level. This brought him another 12,000 HP cap increase and 12,000 Special Energy.
Therefore, his HP totaled 110,000!
Even Wang Tao himself hadn’t expected that just a few days after his Level 3 Ascension from having 30,000 HP, he would jump to 110,000 HP!
But after gaining so much HP, Wang Tao also noticed something different from before.
Level 1’s maximum HP limit is 4,999; reaching 5,000 HP means Level Two. Similarly, the maximum HP for Level Two is 29,999; reaching 30,000 HP qualifies for Level 3.
Wang Tao had thought the limit for Level 3 was 99,999, having seen Fourth-order Monsters with a hundred thousand HP.
But now he realized this was not the case; the cap for Level 3 is actually a hundred thousand HP!
His 110,000 was due to the extra 10,000 HP he had from before.
So Wang Tao was curious why the HP cap for Level 3 was different from the previous levels?
He felt that advancing from Level 3 to Level 4 might not be as easy as from Level 1 to Level Two, or from Level Two to Level 3—For Wang Tao, upgrading with an Ascension crystal core is still relatively easier.
Wang Tao thought of the fourth-order Monster he had seen earlier, which had an attribute Wang Tao had never seen before—Awakening.
Could advancing to Level 4 have something to do with this "Awakening"?
