Chapter 11 The Hunt
A moment later, Huang Hong withdrew his hand and let out a disappointed sigh.
Without a doubt, this bumblebee is a damaged item, and perhaps because of its enormous size, the amount of source energy required to upgrade it to ordinary quality would far exceed his imagination, at least beyond his current means.
Therefore, Huang Hong had no choice but to give up.
In fact, the earth element energy surging within Huang Hong's body can also be used to pay the price required for the enhancement of all things, but only the part under his control can be used.
Moreover, although the earth element energy in Huang Hong's body seems to be inexhaustible, the actual total amount is not much. After all, think about it, an element core (earth) itself only contains 2 or 3 points of source energy. How much energy can this small 'faucet' gather per unit of time?
According to Huang Hong's actual feeling, it takes about three hours to gather energy equivalent to about 1 point of source energy.
Of course, with a steady, long-term approach, this amount is still considerable.
If Huang Hong wants to utilize this energy, he currently lacks two conditions: sufficient control and a container to hold the energy.
There's not much to say about energy control; Huang Hong just needs to train it himself.
As for the container to hold the energy, Huang Hong already has some ideas.
Huang Hong gathered his thoughts and headed towards the city center.
As soon as they entered the city area, they could vaguely hear noises and shouts coming from afar. By using drones and ground sensors to investigate in turn, they discovered that there were a large number of monsters and humans in these high-rise buildings.
Chase and battle, hunt and hide, are constantly unfolding.
The sheer number of monsters immediately dissuaded Huang Hong from continuing to accumulate source energy, and he promptly undertook a major upgrade to his equipment...
[A sharp iron spear]
Affixes: weapon, spear
Quality: Rare
Attribute: A sharp spear that makes wounds harder to heal.
Loading ability: Armor penetration, capable of penetrating the target's armor to a certain extent.
The attributes of the iron spear changed after it was strengthened, but its loading ability remained the same.
However, after Huang Hong's actual testing, he found that the 'armor-piercing' effect of the Iron Spear with the loading ability was significantly stronger, and the Iron Spear was also sharper in the unloaded state, which could cause greater damage.
Next, Huang Hong enhanced the clothes, pants, and shoes, similar to the weapons, basically strengthening their original attributes to make them more durable.
Huang Hong tried it out and felt it was comparable to a bulletproof vest.
This upgrade of 4 pieces of equipment cost a total of 56 energy points, which was much less than I expected.
Upgrading from slingshot to cannon, Huang Hong began... the hunt!
In the community square, Huang Hong encountered three lizards with crystals covering their backs. These were 1.2-meter-long reptiles whose crystal-like eyes could release energy rays. Although they were not very lethal, they had a certain slowing effect.
Fortunately, Huang Hong has been able to mobilize the earth element energy in his body to a certain extent. Although he has not made any great achievements in attack, he is very effective in defense. Covering his body with earth element energy can effectively block the energy rays of the crystal lizard.
After wandering around for a while, I killed the three crystal lizards.
Along the walkway in the residential area, the outer walls of two adjacent buildings are covered with moths that are half a meter long and have a wingspan of up to 2 meters. The scales they release can absorb light, and when dozens of them spread out together, they can create a dark space with a radius of more than ten meters. Moreover, they fly silently, like hunters in the dark.
To be honest, these moths' abilities are quite troublesome for others, but Huang Hong has a natural advantage over them. His enhanced all-encompassing vision allows him to easily capture their outlines in the darkness.
Without the protection of darkness, the moths' strength was actually quite ordinary. Even if dozens of them were combined, Huang Hong would take care of them one by one.
In the stairwell of the residential building, Huang Hong was attacked by a group of bats. These bats were the size of fists, with wisps of black mist floating along the edges of their wings. They possessed a powerful ability to release ultrasonic waves to interfere with the senses.
The sudden attack caused Huang Hong considerable trouble. Under the interference of ultrasound, his body was like that of someone who was drunk. Although his mind was clear, his body could not be controlled. His movements were not only swaying but also sluggish.
Fortunately, these bats seemed to hate light. They gave up the chase shortly after leaving the stairwell and returned to it, allowing Huang Hong to escape. This was his most dangerous escape.
……
Several hours later, Huang Hong arrived at the other side of the community. He looked extremely disheveled, with cracks all over his iron spear and his clothes on the verge of being ruined.
The result was the acquisition of 231 source energy points, bringing the total source energy to 340 points.
Besides the source energy, what pleased Huang Hong even more was that, through this series of battles, his control over the earth element energy within his body had also been greatly improved.
Practice is indeed the best teacher!
While the harvest is certainly something to be happy about, Huang Hong's main priority now is to rest and upgrade his equipment.
Huang Hong then stopped making a high-profile advance and instead used drones and ground sensors to scout ahead, carefully avoiding monsters. He soon discovered his target... a pharmacy!
Needless to say, the pharmacy was also in a mess, but since there were no monsters inside, it saved us some trouble.
After the previous battle, Huang Hong suffered many different kinds of injuries all over his body, the most serious of which were the lacerations. Even though he had bandaged them with cloth strips, blood was still seeping out.
Huang Hong had rarely been injured since childhood, and had almost no experience in treating such injuries. The only thing he knew was to rinse and clean the wound with saline, hydrogen peroxide, or iodine. The only other thing he knew was Yunnan Baiyao, which he occasionally saw on TV.
Huang Hong quickly found iodine solution, Yunnan Baiyao ointment, and sterile gauze, all of which were of poor quality and unsurprisingly damaged.
After a brief consideration, Huang Hong enhanced the Yunnan Baiyao ointment, not only strengthening its efficacy but also adding a hemostatic effect.
Without hesitation, Huang Hong decisively reinforced the Yunnan Baiyao ointment again...
Yunnan Baiyao
Affixes: Recovery, Consumable
Quality: Rare
Attribute: It can remove residual energy to a certain extent and heal common external injuries.
Loading ability: Stops bleeding and promotes healing, can slowly restore the body's external injuries, and has a better effect on lacerations.
To Huang Hong's delight, the loading effect of [Yunnan Baiyao] had changed. The normal quality only had "hemostasis", which could slowly heal torn wounds, but after being upgraded to the rare quality, it turned into "hemostasis and healing promotion".
Huang Hong didn't rush to load Yunnan Baiyao. Instead, he first carefully cleaned his wounds with iodine before selecting to load it.
Suddenly, Huang Hong felt a tingling sensation from all the wounds on his body. He carefully examined the wound on his arm, which was about ten centimeters long, and found that it was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this rate, the wound on the arm should heal completely in about 5 minutes.
It can be said that the effect is remarkable!
But soon, Huang Hong couldn't keep up the 'hehe' anymore, because he sensed that the loaded [Yunnan Baiyao] had an extra 100% after it, and it was decreasing at a rate of 1% every 5 seconds.
What this means is self-evident.
Huang Hong looked at the "Consumable" attribute in the Yunnan Baiyao affix and could only sigh helplessly, accepting this reality.
