Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 691

Chapter 691: Chapter 233: Seed of the Vortex Turtle, Tanming Rune!

The giant turtle wanted to struggle, but it was pinned to the ground by the weight of the blood-colored battle armor, unable to move.

He reached out and directly grasped the bluish vortex turtle shell piece on its back, exerting force with his fingertips. With a crisp “crack,” the shell piece was completely removed.

As the shell piece was taken off, the giant turtle’s back shell began to crack inch by inch, finally shattering completely, and its size dramatically shrank from three meters down to seventy centimeters, lying on the ground without any power to resist.

Evidently, this vortex turtle shell piece was its source of power.

And with the scaling effect of the Cotton Room, the shell piece still measured nearly fifty centimeters long and thirty centimeters wide, feeling heavy in the hand, with its edges glowing with a faint blue light.

Cheng Ye applied slight pressure with his fingers, causing a crack along the edge of the shell piece.

The next second, the panel prompt began to flash:

[Collector detected dispersing biological information, automatically absorbing…]

[Absorption complete: The extraordinary trait (vortex water) of the vortex turtle has reached full value, you can continue to accumulate, maximum storage: 200%]

…

This…it’s full?

Gained another extraordinary seed?

Cheng Ye immediately opened the illustrated guide, surprisingly finding that the vortex water was not only full, but the progress even surged to 137%.

The traits provided by this large shell piece were more than a hundred times those of the one from the mutated Fish King before.

In an instant, a multitude of joy exploded in his heart, almost unbelievable.

The opportunities in the wilderness are plentiful!

As long as one is strong enough and daring to fight, collecting all the extraordinary seeds doesn’t seem that difficult.

Although currently limited by the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse, unable to use the “vortex water” to birth new extraordinary creatures, the difference between “having” and “not having” is stark.

The collection of vortex water signifies a new point of growth in his strength.

If the limitations of the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse can be resolved, allowing two extraordinary creatures to merge into the body, how strong would that be?

Would it grow to the point that even without Tan Ming’s help externally, he could stand out among the inspectors, facing any source of infection, capable of crushing them with his fists?

He exhaled a long breath, red-tinged energy streams burst out from his mouth.

Then, his body began to shrink gradually, from a ten-meter tall blood-colored giant beast, slowly returning to a more normal size around three meters, with muscle contours becoming moderately condensed, no longer as oppressive as before.

“Inspector Luo, the last source of infection is up to you.” He turned to look at Luokuke beside him.

“Not a problem, not a problem!” Luokuke, originally staring at Cheng Ye’s shrinking body in a daze, snapped back upon hearing his voice and quickly stepped forward.

The black turtle, now devoid of the vortex turtle shell piece, was as fragile as a snail without its shell. Using a short knife, he pried open the damaged back shell, quickly extracting the faintly glowing core inside, casually tossing it into the containment box.

By this point, each of the four containment boxes was filled with more than five sources of infection, the heavy box in hand was a tangible sense of achievement.

The two regrouped, and Luokuke carefully organized his words, cautiously asking, “Chief Cheng, our current situation is…”

“Simply put, the vitality generated by the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch is what Tan Ming needs. He gives us this energy, one to help weaken the energy level of the immortal object, and two, to help these avatars complete the task of gathering vitality. For us, it’s a mutually beneficial situation.”

Cheng Ye explained briefly.

Initially, his only thought was to cause a bit of trouble for the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch with Tan Ming, not expecting things to evolve step by step into a direct confrontation between Tan Ming and the conch.

Moreover, Tan Ming not only wanted the vitality of the cave, but seemed to have his sights set on some trait of the conch, adding some unexpected variables to the situation.

Once these two giants clash, no one knows what the final outcome will be.

But compared to before, when even the immortal object couldn’t be approached, the current progress is a big step forward.

“First, take these sources of infection up, secure them properly, and then go rest.”

“And…the immortal object?” Luokuke asked instinctively.

The situation now seemed only a step away from containing the immortal object, naturally making him somewhat anxious.

“The closer to victory, often the most dangerous moment, can’t rush.”

“Understood.” Luokuke nodded, suppressing his impatience.

Containing all these sources of infection has already significantly weakened the energy supply of the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch.

As long as the dense forest in the cave is completely “drained” and the remaining crab-men are cleared out, the energy level of the immortal object will drop to a very low level, vastly increasing the success rate of containment.

Watching Luokuke carry the heavy containment box, quickly heading towards the light gate, Cheng Ye slowly lowered his head, gaze resting on the blood-colored rune on his chest.

The panel popped up, the information flashed before his eyes.

[Tan Ming Rune: Grants the creature the ability to summon Tan Ming]

[Current rune recorded (due to level restriction, analysis is temporarily unavailable, please continue to advance in level to unlock permissions)]
