Chapter 249 - The Powerful Transformation Talent
“Could this be destiny's calling?”
Jiang Hao swelled with pride.
He paid no mind to the system's baffling annotations.
?Without a moment's hesitation, he commanded, “Extract and merge!”
At Jiang Hao's command, a peculiar transformation suffused his being.
A flood of memories followed, pouring into his mind.
Overcome with elation, he realized he had indeed underestimated the system's interpretation of his talent.
It was far more than a mere enhancement of his jungle survival skills.
The memories revealed that this shapeshifting ability bore a striking resemblance to that of a mutant known as the Shapeshifting Woman from a movie he'd seen!
Yet, at only level 1, it paled in comparison to the Shapeshifting Woman's prowess.
But the difference was, Jiang Hao could elevate this talent using skill points!
By doing so, attaining the level of the Shapeshifting Demoness was a foregone conclusion, and he might even surpass her!
With this revelation, Jiang Hao wasted no time in issuing a command to the system.
“System, upgrade the shapeshifting talent to level 3!”
“Affirmative, host!”
“Ding! Talent successfully upgraded: Shapeshifting to level 3!”
Talent: Shapeshifting level 3 (0/100): More than just an enhancement of jungle survival skills.
After the upgrade, Jiang Hao sensed he could now easily alter his appearance!
?With just a thought, his skin began to transform, taking on a hue similar to the trees around him, rivaling the camouflage of a chameleon!
?However, his clothes remained unchanged, a glaring imperfection.
Should he emulate the Shapeshifting Woman, roaming naked, using his skin to mimic clothing?
The thought sent a shiver down his spine.
Setting the dilemma aside for the moment, he decided to look for a solution later.
Just as Jiang Hao mounted Xiao Soong, ready to press on, he detected a noise ahead. He quickly patted Xiao Soong.
?Understanding, Xiao Soong came to an immediate halt.
Jiang Hao dismounted with caution. His talent, Wind Catching Ear, activated instantly as he listened intently.
Suddenly, the sound of several people talking broke the silence.
“Boss, is this map from the organization legit or what?”
“Is the great tomb of Emperor Zhou really here?”
“We've been scouring this place for four days and haven't found squat. Poor Ol' Five paid with his life!”
One man grumbled.
Just then, he was sharply rebuked by another.
“Fourth, zip it. Remember what I told you when we set out? Less yapping, more working!”
“The rest of you, stay sharp. We're closing in according to the map!”
A hush fell over the group, only to be broken moments later by the boss's voice, now tinged with a hint of solemnity.
?”As for Ol' Five, once we wrap up this job, I'll make sure his cut gets to his mom.”
“Listen up, everyone. I don't want to lose anyone else. Got it?”
“Okay, let's take a short breather here. Check your ammo and keep your eyes peeled.”
……
Jiang Hao was stunned as he overheard this exchange.
He hadn't expected to encounter other living souls in this untouched forest, let alone a band of tomb raiders!
And not just any raiders, but an organized crew, armed to the teeth no less!
In China, where the control over firearms was incredibly strict, such weaponry was far from the reach of ordinary folks!
