If only other beasts could sense the changes brought about by this heavenly treasure, why would Bai Long sense nothing?
Therefore, Wang Luo speculated that these subterranean beasts might possess some special means to detect heavenly treasures that were about to mature!
"However, this plant has not yet matured. If it is harvested prematurely, it might cause the plant to lose its intended effect!"
After a moment of thought, Wang Luo and Bai Long eventually left.
When those beasts started fighting, it would be the time when this plant matured. It wouldn't be too late to retrieve it then!
Finding a safe spot, Wang Luo waited again...
"Congratulations to the host for surviving in the apocalypse for another year. Reward: SSS-grade Time ability!"
The system's voice suddenly sounded, astonishing Wang Luo.
"Has another year passed so quickly?"
He sighed.
Apart from comprehending a few unusual skills this year, he seemed to have gained nothing!
He still had no clue about the laws.
What was most unbearable wasn't the passage of time, but the fact that he had achieved nothing simultaneously, which inevitably made him anxious!
"Please host continue to survive in the apocalypse for another half year. Reward: SSS-grade Fire ability!"
Wang Luo's heart had already calmed.
Even with the Time ability, would he care about a Fire ability?
"I thought it would be a Space ability, but I didn't expect it to be something else!"
"Could it be that they plan to give me all abilities?"
"What's the point of having so many abilities? What I need now are laws!"
Wang Luo was somewhat speechless.
In his opinion, he already had enough abilities. More abilities would only offer so much of a combat boost. It would be better to get something more tangible.
Alas, he couldn't control the system. Whatever the system gave, he could only accept it!
More beasts were gathering near the volcano. Even four half-beasts had arrived. Apart from the sheep-headed man and lizard-man from the beginning, a monkey-headed man and an eagle-headed man had joined them. They formed a large circle around the volcano, their gazes fixed on it.
Although these beasts still hadn't made a move, Wang Luo could sense that the atmosphere within the volcano had become oppressive.
The black-scaled giant python and other beasts occasionally let out anxious low growls, their eyes fixed on the direction of the volcano.
Despite the presence of these direct descendants of gods, they still wanted to try their luck, hoping that with good fortune, they might snatch something!
A long time passed.
The several half-beasts let out a collective roar and then dashed towards the volcano. Behind them, several beasts also moved their massive bodies, following closely.
With a thunderous boom,
The half-beasts in the front engaged in combat. Each of them wielded extraordinary weapons, clashing fiercely.
The sheep-headed man and the monkey-headed man fought each other. The former wielded a spear, enveloped in raging flames, with green light emanating from his body, clearly a wind-elemental half-beast!
The silver-furred monkey, on the other hand, held an iron rod covered in lightning. It stood there calmly, with no unusual abilities manifesting around it.
Whoosh, whoosh!!
In the next instant, the two half-beasts vanished from their positions and charged at each other.
A violent collision sound suddenly erupted as their extraordinary weapons clashed first. Lightning raged, fire flickered, and energies scattered with each impact!
With a deafening roar,
The volcano beneath their feet vibrated violently from the impact of this powerful energy. Fire streams and serpentine lightning struck the ground, creating deep pits and spreading cracks!
"Holy crap, these are all SSS-grade extraordinary weapons!"
Wang Luo, from afar, exclaimed in surprise.
From the terrifying energy unleashed by their weapons during the battle, it was evident that both the silver-furred monkey-headed man and the sheep-headed man were wielding SSS-grade weapons.
"The foundation of these half-beasts from the underground world is indeed powerful!"
In the Dawn Base,
Since the apocalypse began, only that one SSS-grade extraordinary material that fell from the volcano had been used to forge four SSS-grade extraordinary weapons. Apart from that, despite finding quite a bit of extraordinary material up to this day, no more SSS-grade extraordinary materials had appeared!
This showed that SSS-grade extraordinary materials were also quite rare, yet these half-beasts each possessed one.
On the other side, the lizard-man and the eagle-headed man also engaged in fierce combat. The power that an SSS-grade extraordinary weapon could unleash each time was terrifying.
The lizard-man was a poison-elemental half-beast, while the eagle-headed man was a gold-elemental half-beast. Coupled with the pair of wings that grew on his back, both his offense and speed were extremely powerful.
One half-beast, while fighting, moved towards the volcano.
There was only one heavenly treasure that could aid in comprehending laws, and they were all determined to obtain it.
The surrounding beasts also surged towards the volcano.
The energy unleashed by the SSS-grade extraordinary weapons was beyond imagination, but they were all SSS-grade beasts themselves. Although the conditions were unfavorable to them, they were not afraid!
SSS-grade extraordinary weapons were not the strongest attack methods of these divine descendants!
A fearsome battle erupted.
Various powerful unusual skills were unleashed by the beasts: purple lightning, crimson fire, green wind blades, emerald poison mist, golden slashes... each attack was spectacular and extremely dangerous, causing the ground to tremble with every impact.
Wang Luo did not rush closer.
It was his first time witnessing a battle between half-beasts, so he intended to observe closely for any other implications!
What advantages did the hybrid species, born from the union of humans and beasts, possess that made other beasts subservient to them?
In a short while,
The half-beasts and beasts simultaneously entered the passage. The terrifying attacks instantly caused the volcano to collapse.
"Holy crap, aren't you afraid of damaging that heavenly treasure by being so reckless?"
Wang Luo became anxious.
Riding Bai Long, he entered the void. Since the plant had matured, it was time for him to harvest it!
The half-beasts were the first to enter the volcanic passage, where a powerful suppressive force instantly weakened their attacks considerably.
Even when unleashing their unusual skills with all their might, they could only unleash attacks equivalent to Epic-grade.
However, the four half-beasts were fearless, as if entering an uninhabited land, and charged straight into the depths of the volcano.
They did not cease their attacks upon entering the volcano; instead, their every strike became more desperate.
The powerful aftershocks of their attacks struck the surrounding rock walls, instantly creating huge cracks and causing debris to rain down!
Then, several massive beasts entered.
Their exaggerated sizes instantly strained the volcano.
Roar, roar, roar~~~
The angry roars of zombies emanated from beneath the volcano.
They didn't care whether they were humans or beasts; they were all food to them.
Crimson magma began to churn, and countless zombies surged from the bottom of the passage, densely packed, like a volcano about to erupt from the depths of the earth!
