Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 676

Chapter 676: Chapter 229: Extraordinary Life, Blood Armor Possession! (Part 3)

In the records provided by the Firewood Communication, there’s even a higher level, the Glowing Scale Mother, enough to rival a Destruction Level infection source.

However, this evolutionary path is too long, and the life energy required is astronomical.

In the life-poor Stone Province, even the Silver Treasure Moth is extremely rare, let alone the Gold Treasure Moth.

Yet this precisely illustrates that the potential ceiling of the Green Treasure Worm is extremely high, and it’s reasonable that it can effortlessly absorb Tan Ming’s characteristics?

Cheng Ye pondered for a moment, then decisively decided to strike while the iron was hot and merge the “Withering Battle Armor” with the newly fused “Life Messenger.”

On the illustrated page.

The phantom of the Green Treasure Worm with blood-colored patterns indeed engulfed the blood-colored figure representing the “Withering Battle Armor” without any pressure. The blood-colored patterns on its body became even more dense, and the original crystalline emerald texture gradually faded, resembling a haunting bloodstone instead.

But the prompt that popped up the next second left Cheng Ye completely stunned:

[This Information Fusion process is complete, Fusion Result: Perfect]

[Civilization Collector has successfully recorded a new fusion skill: Tan Ming Messenger (Lv1; Perfect)]

“Wait… what is this?”

“Where is the Life Messenger?”

Cheng Ye was somewhat confused. Clearly, during the fusion process, the Green Treasure Worm was absolutely dominant, absorbing the blood-colored figure, yet the final result was named after Tan Ming as the main body.

Achieving a Perfect Level skill for the first time, he actually didn’t know what to make of it.

What does this represent?

Could it mean that if he equips it, he becomes Tan Ming’s person?

However, seeing that the skill did not have a “*” mark, Cheng Ye breathed a little sigh of relief.

Since the Collector didn’t indicate any additional side effects for this skill, it should be safe to try equipping it.

“There’s no time to recharge now, I’ll have to borrow a little more energy from you…”

Cheng Ye tugged at the corner of his mouth and continued to dive into the fierce battle.

Not sure if it’s because the remaining tentacles are thicker, but the energy value each provides has noticeably increased.

Similarly, after destroying just eighty tentacles, the energy value was refilled once again.

Unfortunately, the Demon Eye Sponge now has only a hundred and fifty tentacles left, meaning he can only recharge one and a half more times at most.

“What a pity, such a reckless plunder of scattered energy, I’m sure I’ve wasted a lot.”

Cheng Ye couldn’t help but mutter, “If only I could set up a charging dock inside it, the energy conversion rate might increase tenfold or even a hundredfold.”

As soon as the thought occurred, his body naturally floated upward, and once the tentacles on the water’s surface settled down, he submerged underwater once more.

He enlarged his body, squeezed through the huge breach in the Cotton Room, and took the biological elevator to transport to the front of the Light Gate.

“Wait, the blood-colored aura seems to have… weakened?”

Cheng Ye paused. When he first came in, the blood-colored aura climbing on the Light Gate almost covered the entire door.

But now, the upper fifth of the area has already dimmed, and those blood-colored patterns seem to be fading, as if about to disperse at any moment.

Is it the impact of repeated entries and exits?

Cheng Ye stared at the Light Gate for a moment until a wisp of white aura floated out from inside the Gate, entwined with the blood-colored aura, both neutralizing each other and dissipating, confirming his doubts.

It’s… the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch!

Its ability can even dispel Tan Ming’s cursed aura?

This is terrifying!

Cheng Ye’s heart sank; isolating Tan Ming and dispersing Tan Ming are completely different things. The former is just passive hiding, while the latter implies strength to confront directly.

Will it be that by nightfall, Tan Ming’s aura gets completely driven away?

The sense of urgency surged instantly, and he couldn’t take any more time to observe. Hastily taking off his cotton garment, he dashed towards the Light Gate.

As expected, during the time delayed outside, a new batch of Gatekeeper Crabmen “refreshed” at the Light Gate entrance.

Not sure if it’s because he killed too brutally, but the Demon Eye Sponge actually dispatched two Fusion Bodies.

They were even taller than him, over a meter tall, and the crab claw iron whips on their backs were not four but six in total, clearly not easy to deal with.

Cheng Ye didn’t dare to linger in battle, weaving through the Crab-men with doubled speed, carving out a bloody path and quickly retreating towards the lake direction.

But just as he ran not far away, an invisible wave suddenly descended from above, entwining him like a marker. Guided by this wave, the originally scattered Crabmen all changed direction, and even more Crabmen emerged from the shadows, gradually forming an encirclement.

“Is it that the Demon Eye Sponge has noticed me, or the Magic Conch?”

Marked like this, Cheng Ye was a bit surprised but didn’t panic much.

He had guessed when he saw the blood-colored figure being surrounded that the Crab-men must have “guidance,” and now he finally understood, it was this invisible wave.

Back at the open ground again, the panel opened, and the Perfect Level ‘Tan Ming Messenger’ jumped into the skill bar.

In just a moment, that tracking wave seemed more apparent, almost wrapping him entirely.

“Since you’re so keen on chasing, I must take action!”

Cheng Ye chuckled boldly, activating his invisible perception.

Next second, the view was instantly filled with green life energy, the surrounding trees, vines, even moss, all turning into glowing energy bodies.

He forcefully tugged with his mind, drawing a mass of green energy out of the surrounding big trees, turning their once lush green trunks yellow and shriveled at a visible rate.

Meanwhile, Cheng Ye attempted to absorb these energies into his body but shuddered as soon as he had the thought.

Only a small amount of life energy entered his body; most was greedily siphoned away by the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse.

And the remaining large portion of life energy lingered outside the body, as if wrapped in an invisible force, refusing to dissipate for a long while.

He instinctively looked down, only to find on the surface of the skin… no, to be precise, on the surface of the Obsidian Battle Armor.

The outer side of the armor, at some point, was covered by a thin blood-colored barrier, tightly adhering to the armor, emanating a faint red glow, surprisingly resembling the blood-colored figure seen earlier.

“Have I also become a blood-colored figure?”

…
