Chapter 24: Kill The Crawler! Obtain The Strengthening Stone!
Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare
After Enoch stored the blood essence ore in the temporary warehouse, he glanced at the dark and narrow space again.
“There are no more items left.”
Thinking of this, Enoch prepared to get up and return to the ground.
At the same time.
The notification from the Divine Tree Space came again.
[Map of the Netherworld — the family shop area has been unlocked!]
[Family shop: exploration rate 100%]
[Reminder: all information about the area has been unlocked]
[Congratulations! Divine Tree! The ‘family shop’ area has been unlocked. Reward obtained!]
[Reminder: Divine Tree can negotiate with others to transfer the ownership of the territory.]
[Rainfall amulet x1! It has been automatically stored in the temporary warehouse!]
[Rainfall amulet]
[Type: basic materials]
[Description: Summon Rain in the area after use, lasts for 24 Hours!]
After Enoch explored the underground space, the [family shop] area was finally unlocked!
After carefully looking at the unlocked information.
Only then did Enoch understand the details of the ‘completely unlocked’.
The first player to completely explore the map could obtain the ‘territory authority’ of the area.
The most direct effect was that Enoch could receive notifications when other creatures stepped into the [family shop] area.
The moment he obtained this authority, Enoch thought of the core function of this authority.
The invasion of the Netherworld!
Although the invasion of the Netherworld had not happened yet, Enoch had already remembered this point in the novice notification of the Divine Tree Space.
Once all the information about the area around the island was unlocked, the direction and frequency of the monsters’ attack could be controlled when the Netherworld invaded!
Just this point alone could increase the safety factor of Enoch Island by several times!
After Enoch opened the map.
A red light-dot was constantly Flashing in the shop.
“Hmm? Does this red dot represent the area I’m in?”
Thinking of this, Enoch opened the 3D map.
He suddenly realized that there was a blue mark Flashing in the underground space where he was.
And above his head, the red dot of light was Flashing!
A giant black cocoon!
The giant black cocoon Flashed in Enoch’s mind instantly.
Enoch quickly rushed up the tunnel. The giant black cocoon was probably about to hatch!
Enoch sprinted with all his might and quickly reached the surface.
“Drip!”
Viscous liquid continuously dripped down from the giant cocoon.
Moreover, it could be clearly seen that the creature inside the giant cocoon was about to break out of the cocoon.
The undulating bulges on the giant cocoon had already proved this point. Even that strange energy fluctuation had also increased by quite a bit!
Seeing this, Enoch summoned the electric arc star into his hand and prepared for battle.
This time, he didn’t plan to let the other berserk rats help him. Instead, he faced the battle by himself.
He wanted to understand more about the information of the mutated zombies.
“Hiss!”
The membrane on the surface of the black cocoon was torn apart, and a sharp foot stretched out.
A bloody smell was immediately emitted.
“Whoosh!”
The electric arc star streaked across the part of the black cocoon that was connected to the ceiling.
The black cocoon lost its connection and smashed down heavily from the sky above the shopping mall.
“Breaking out of the cocoon is too slow. Let Me Help You!”
A hint of fighting spirit Flashed in Enoch’s eyes.
“Dong!”
With a loud sound, the black cocoon fell to the ground. The mutated zombie in the cocoon finally appeared in front of Enoch!
[Mutant zombie (crawler)]
[Skills: sweeping blade, spitting venom, hardening carapace]
[Combat strength: B]
[Description: A mutant zombie that was affected by the black mist. Its killing intent is very strong!]
A mantis-like zombie crawled out of the black cocoon.
The human head, the insect body, and the arms turned into two sickle-shaped sharp weapons.
The entire body was covered in a hard carapace, reflecting a horrifying light under the flickering electric light of the electric arc star.
What attracted Enoch’s attention was the long fiery red hair on the human head of the zombie!
If his guess was correct, this was the wife of the shop owner.
Although the appearance had changed a lot, the part of the human head, other than the carapace covering the face, did not change much.
As for the reason why this zombie had mutated, Enoch speculated that it had something to do with the blood essence ore.
The vigorous vitality from the blood essence ore should be the reason why this zombie had mutated!
“Roar!”
The crawler that crawled out of the cocoon looked at the purple creature not far away.
It could clearly feel the aura of the blood essence ore on this purple creature!
A sky full of killing intent was emitted from the reptile’s eyes.
Enoch took the initiative to attack.
The electric arc star slashed once again!
“Zi!”
The ear-piercing sound of metal friction could be heard.
After the electric arc star left his hand, it was actually slashed away by the reptile’s sharp scythe!
This was the first time Enoch had failed when he used the electric arc star!
“Hard shell!”
The information of the reptile’s skill quickly appeared in Enoch’s mind!
It seemed that if he wanted to kill the crawler, he would have to start somewhere else.
Enoch was not prepared to use the heavenly thunder prison for the time being.
He wanted to see how strong the berserk rat’s close combat ability was now.
This was related to his plan to explore the Black Fog.
With this thought in mind, Enoch no longer hesitated and directly activated the berserk rat’s innate skill, [berserk]!
After activating [berserk], Enoch’s figure did not change much, but Flashes of lightning continuously emerged from his body.
He could clearly feel that his speed and strength had increased tremendously in a short period!
“Zhi — ya!”
With a low roar, Enoch shot out like a ball of lightning from where he stood!
Before the crawler could react, Enoch Flashed behind the crawler and slashed the electric arc star in his hand at the crawler’s back!
“Clang!”
Sparks even appeared on the crawler’s hard shell!
But even so, the crawler did not receive any substantial damage. Enoch’s full-strength slash only left a shallow crack on the hard black shell!
The painful crawler reacted and instantly turned around. The sharp scythe slashed down with a bloody aura, but Enoch nimbly dodged it.
“Is this the giant scythe sweep?”
The power of the giant scythe was not to be underestimated. With the defense of the berserk rat, it might not even be able to withstand one hit. However, with the advantage of movement speed, Enoch was able to deal with it relatively easily.
If you can’t even hit me, so what if your attack power is high?
There was still one more ‘Venom Spit’ skill left. Enoch did not intend to let the crawler release it. It was very difficult to dodge such an AOE attack.
Taking advantage of the moment when the crawler used its skill, Enoch had already circled the crawler’s back once again!
The electric arc star followed the crack that it had created previously and pierced into the crawler’s muscles!
Then, a strong electric light Flashed!
Black smoke and the smell of burnt flesh came out from the crawler’s body!
The crawler was instantly paralyzed!
This was the effect Enoch wanted!
Taking advantage of the crawler’s inconvenient movement, Enoch easily killed it.
The electric arc sliced through the crawler’s uncarapace-covered head. The crawler struggled for a moment and finally died.
[Congratulations to the Divine Tree Master! You have killed a mutated creature for the first time!]
[Reward obtained: basic strengthening stone * 1]
