Improving On the Spot, a Bloody Battle

"Shit!"

Liu Yan was quick to react and immediately returned to the top of the tree.

It was too dangerous. He had to get Yang Zhi, who was of a lower level, to leave as soon as possible.

"Listen to me, head northeast and find the other team. The members of Brother Cheng's team are very kind."

"But that bastard Wang Qing is still alive!"

"As long as you survive and become stronger, it won't be too late for you to take revenge in the future. Hurry up and go."

Yang Zhi did not hesitate this time. When she saw the giant fang ant gnawing at Song Yu, her stomach turned upside down.

"Then you should hurry up and follow me."

The giant fang ant leader was not small, to begin with, as tall as two people. After gnawing on Song Yu's body, it grew again and reached a height of four to five meters.

Seeing this, Liu Yan was slightly surprised. To think the giant fang ant leader had mutated?

Liu Yan quickly checked its information with his smart wristband.

[Mutated Giant Fang Ant Leader]

[Level: 3]

[HP: 700/700]

[MP: 300/300]

[Strength: 40]

[Physique: 43]

[Agility: 38]

[Vitality: 32]

[Adaptability: 32]

[Talents: impact, devour, poison]

Level 3?!

Not only that, the mutant beast's attributes stats had increased a lot, and it even had a new skill!

Liu Yan was shocked.

To think mutant beasts could have the devouring skill, which was very similar to his Divine Extraction. By devouring awakeners, one could obtain the strength of the awakener.

If all mutant beasts had such a skill, didn't that mean that the more awakeners entered the Tower, the stronger the mutant beasts would be?

Hopefully, this mutated giant fang ant leader was just an exception.

At that moment, the mutated giant fang ant leader looked at the human awakeners around it. Its body glowed green, and a strong, unpleasant smell spread. Instantly, the surrounding 50 meters were shrouded in this poisonous gas.

Liu Yan felt a burning sensation on his skin, and his HP was slowly decreasing. Looking at the signs, it seemed that his HP was dropping faster and faster. The most fatal thing was that Liu Yan felt his body become extremely heavy.

After the giant fang ant leader devoured Song Yu's corpse, it seemed to have absorbed Song Yu's Pause talent skill. The poison gas thus had a delay effect!

Generally speaking, mutated mutant beasts were much stronger than mutant beasts of the same level.

Liu Yan roughly estimated that the level three giant fang ant leader was at least as strong as a level four or even level five ordinary mutant beast.

At present, he had just reached level two.

There was no doubt that the mutated giant fang ant leader was very strong, and there was also a group of giant fang ants interfering in the surroundings.

Currently, it might be very difficult for him to deal with them.

At this moment, Wang Qing and the others were also affected by the poisonous gas, and their speed slowed.

"What the hell is going on?"

"This is Pause! It's the delaying effect!"

Wang Qing was extremely nervous. Of course, he had also seen the level-up of the mutated giant fang ant leader.

If he was caught, he would die without a doubt!

He did not want to be bitten into pieces like Song Yu.

However, with the help of the delaying effect, the few giant fang ants caught up to them in no time.

Wang Qing couldn't easily trick his remaining two teammates either.

Although the level of their talents was not as high as Wang Qing's, their close combat ability was stronger than his.

With the incident with Song Yu, the two were now even more guarded against Wang Qing.

They didn't give Wang Qing a chance to hide behind and attack. They simply retreated while fighting, looking very much in a sorry state.

"Hurry up! Hurry up and attack!"

Wang Qing shouted and instantly inhaled a mouthful of poisonous gas.

With that, he knelt on the ground in pain. He coughed violently and felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Get up! We have to escape quickly! If we don't run, we won't have the chance!"

Wang Qing was about to get up, but the giant fang ant leader had already come to his side. The huge figure gave him an extreme sense of oppression!

"Pu"

The sharp mouthpart of the mutated giant fang ant pierced through Wang Qing's skull, and his brain matter immediately splattered everywhere!

[An awakener has died in battle, located 10 meters away from you!]

Liu Yan immediately received the notification.

The remaining two awakeners were scared out of their wits and scrambled away.

They were also poisoned, but they guessed that the giant fang ants would take the time to enjoy Wang Qing. As such, they didn't dare to stay for a moment and ran like crazy.

On the contrary, the mutated giant fang ant leader was not in a hurry to eat Wang Qing. Instead, it started searching around.

Liu Yan was the one who had stomped on and thus broke the nest of the giant fang ants. As such, he was now in the center of the poisonous gas coverage area and was in a precarious situation.

Even with Ghost Steps, it was difficult to escape.

The giant fang ant leader was actually looking in his direction!

Seeing this, Liu Yan dodged the attacks of the giant fang ants around him while quickly taking out the remaining detoxifying violetgrass from his bag.

At the same time, he tried his best to move through the forest and disrupt the vision of the mutated giant fang ant leader!

After consuming the violetgrass, the burning sensation in his body disappeared, and his HP stopped dropping.

At the same time, his body also recovered some agility and became much lighter. However, he had not fully recovered, and his speed was still not very fast.

It seemed that the delaying effect of this poisonous gas was very strong, and even the detoxifying violetgrass was unable to completely detoxify it.

Still, with this, Liu Yan was much more relaxed and had the strength to fight.

He quickly activated Ghost Steps, and his agility was instantly tripled to offset the delay effect.

After using Ghost Steps, Liu Yan's speed was only slightly faster than when he was not poisoned, which showed the power of the delaying effect.

However, the mutated giant fang ant leader was still hot on his heels!

With Ghost Steps, Liu Yan dashed to Wang Qing's body silently and used Divine Extraction immediately!

The green light surrounded Wang Qing's body.

[Divine Extraction of the awakener's corpse has been successful. Obtained grade-B skills, Great Precision and Poison Control!]

To think he had obtained two grade-B skills both at once!

Liu Yan was quite surprised. From the previous Divine Extractions, he had always obtained skills that were one level lower than his targets.

But now, not only were the skills of the same level, but he had gotten two of them at once!

It seemed that the things obtained from the Divine Extraction were not fixed. There was a certain degree of randomness or the influence of other factors.

At the same time, Liu Yan's body also underwent a significant change.

Liu Yan, who originally knew nothing about bows and arrows, now felt extremely familiar with them. It was as if he could use any bow and arrow skillfully and easily hit the target.

At the same time, he also felt that he could control poison and attach it to his bow or dagger to attack.

Liu Yan could still use Spirit Vision to further improve the accuracy of his bow and arrows. He could even see the weakness of the mutated giant fang ant leader.

It was the ant's joints.

After the mutation, the giant fang ant leader's entire body was covered in armor-like skin, and its defensive capabilities had significantly improved. Only its moving joints were weak!

Liu Yan immediately took out a bow and nocked an arrow while activating Strength Enhancement. With that, he entered berserk mode, and his strength increased by three times!

The grade-F bow was pulled into a full moon.

Poison was attached to the arrow, and it was thus covered in green.

He aimed at the joints of the mutated giant fang ant leader.

With the buffs of Great Precision and Spirit Vision, he released the arrow, accurately hitting the target in the chaotic environment.

Under the tremendous force, the entire arrow pierced through the ant's joint. The poison instantly spread through the mutated giant fang ant leader's body.

The mutated giant fang ant leader immediately let out a strange cry in pain and twisted its body desperately in unbearable pain.

Not long after, it gradually stopped struggling, and its huge body fell to the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

A powerful level three mutated beast had been successfully killed by Liu Yan!
