Chapter 340 The Skill of the Crimson Pearl
"Perhaps, I am too strong?"
Seeing how difficult his opponent's subsequent attacks were after his basic attack, Cang Nian gained a clearer understanding of his current strength.
But think about it.
When I was at the third tier, I was able to achieve overwhelming victories against other third-tier marine evolved creatures.
For Cangnian, there are very few opponents of the same level who can threaten him.
This fourth-tier powerhouse from South Korea—no, he should be called a fourth-tier weakling—seems to be like the abbot of Zenran Temple, relying on cultivation techniques to strengthen himself without awakening any special abilities.
Such people can only use their higher-level abilities to crush lower-level ones in the early stages of the spiritual energy revival.
When encountering an evolved being or evolved creature of the same level with powerful abilities, their lack of such abilities becomes exceptionally obvious.
Although Cangnian did not use any of the active skills of the [Numerical Master], the attribute boost that the numerical disorder stacked on him was passive.
In addition, the various skill training programs in the system are not useless. Every skill and every level of improvement will be faithfully reflected back to you.
Finally, the power of the mountain god also has a very good effect, allowing him to have combat power close to the late stage of the fourth tier, even though he has just entered the fourth tier of evolution.
Therefore, under the triple effect, even without using the active skills of his special ability, Cang Nian's basic attributes are terrifyingly strong, with an average of around 2,500 in the five dimensions.
Regarding speed, for some reason, even though the Wind Tiger skill can eliminate wind resistance and even make the wind a source of power during running.
However, the speed attribute exhibits a diminishing returns effect; while the numerical value continues to increase steadily, the actual speed displayed is not proportional to the numerical value.
However, Cangnian only pondered this issue for a moment.
After all, his speed is already very fast. Even without using the Overlimit Burst, his maximum burst speed is several times the speed of sound. Even with the marginal effect, the Overlimit Burst can still significantly improve his speed on the original basis.
When facing creatures of the same evolutionary level, except for flying raptors, Cangnian has never lost.
Meanwhile, the fourth-tier noob from South Korea was utterly horrified.
Although he had just determined that Cangnian was a fourth-order evolved creature, the fact that he almost couldn't even catch one of its claws still dealt him a heavy blow!
Pulling himself out of the wall, the fourth-tier noob wanted to escape, but recalling the terrifying speed Cangnian had just unleashed, he became extremely desperate.
I can't win a fight, and I can't run away. What should I do?
"I was originally thinking of trying out the new skill... never mind, I'll just try out this rough prototype of the magic weapon instead!"
Seeing the despair on his opponent's face, Cangnian knew that he hadn't revealed a single move, and his opponent had already given up.
Clearly, this guy has no trump card to turn the tide.
This left Cang Nian quite disappointed.
Given his overwhelming strength, Cang Nian hoped that his opponent would have a plethora of powerful magical artifacts, like the abbot of Chanlan Temple.
On the one hand, it allows me to play to my heart's content.
On the other hand, the more magical artifacts you have, the better.
Unfortunately, this guy was a penniless wretch with absolutely no savings.
With his eyes fixed on the other person, Cang Nian diverted a portion of his attention to probe into the blood-red pearl.
He skillfully imprinted his spiritual mark onto the rough form of this magical artifact, and within a few breaths, the crimson pearl was bound to Cang Nian.
Once you're familiar with the techniques, subduing a magical artifact whose original owner has perished is that simple.
Then, a series of realizations came to his mind.
These are all the skills and effects of the Crimson Pearl.
"Their skills are all quite strong, and they have the ability to grow independently!"
Having absorbed the Blood Pearl's skill, Cang Nian nodded with satisfaction.
This is a rough prototype of a magical artifact, but it already possesses many skills.
【Blood Extraction】: Extracts the essence of the target in the form of blood. Blood essence can be consumed directly to promote evolution, or it can be used to nourish the magic weapon itself.
【Blood Temptation】: Consumes blood essence to release the ultimate blood temptation, attracting the target to devour the blood essence, a temptation from both physiological and mental aspects.
[Bloodstain Tracking]: Targets whose blood essence has been extracted by magical artifacts will leave invisible bloodstains wherever they go. You can use magical artifacts to track their traces within a day.
"No wonder even though I deliberately tried to mislead them, that giant seashell could still track my location."
Blood essence can promote evolution; this is arguably the greatest use of this magical artifact!
Having absorbed the effects of the magic weapon's skills, Cang Nian's previous doubts were resolved.
Thinking this, he activated the crimson pearl and used the Blood Absorption skill on the fourth-tier weakling who couldn't fight or run away!
Just like yesterday when the giant seashell activated the crimson pearl, the already withered skin of the fourth-tier noob chicken oozed scarlet blood beads, which flew towards the crimson pearl!
"Ah~! No! No!"
I know I was wrong, please forgive me! I don't want to die!
Feeling his life force draining away and him rapidly weakening, the fourth-tier noob knelt down and begged for mercy.
But Cangnian ignored his pleas for mercy.
This guy saw the strange phenomenon of the blood-red pearl on his side and wanted to take it.
That wasn't all; he also summoned the South Korean army to prepare to bomb the migration caravan's camp!
Cang Nian describes his personality as not being decisive and ruthless, but he would never do something as foolish as repaying evil with kindness.
Since this guy is planning to kill the tiger to seize the treasure and also eliminate the people he's protecting, then he should be prepared to be killed if he can't win.
If this guy hadn't been so arrogant, thinking that there wouldn't be any fourth-tier combat power among land creatures at this stage, and hadn't chosen to bombard them directly, the migrating caravan's camp might have suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, death is the only fate this guy deserves.
Perfect timing, I can also try out the skills of the newly acquired magic weapon.
"Shiba...shiba..."
Seeing that Cangnian had no intention of letting him off the hook, the fourth-tier noob jumped up and tried to escape, cursing loudly in the language of South Korea.
Seeing this, Cangnian immediately activated the Crimson Pearl and used the Blood Temptation skill.
The fourth-tier weakling, who hadn't run far, suddenly turned on him with a crazed and eager look in his eyes. He stopped running, turned around, and pounced on the blood-red pearl without hesitation.
Throughout the process, the crimson pearl absorbed his blood, transforming the essence within his body into blood essence, which was then incorporated into the crimson pearl.
In addition to its three skills, the Crimson Pearl also possesses spatial attributes, with a separate small space inside that can store blood essence.
However, this small space can only store blood essence and cannot hold anything else.
"This stuff can promote evolution... never mind, blood essence extracted from the human body is not much different from eating a person directly."
If one were to consume something, it should only be the blood essence extracted from the bodies of evolved organisms.
"Let the crimson pearl digest the rest and nourish the magic weapon itself..."
After the fourth-tier weakling had turned into a skeleton, Cang Nian stared at the blood essence in the crimson pearl for a long time before letting out a long sigh and making a decision.
