Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1533 - 642: Water Attribute

Cheng Yiyi had mentioned before that most creatures in the ocean have mutated, and sea beasts are everywhere.

Since these brainless sea beasts can advance to Sixth Rank Disaster, what about other sea beasts? Aren’t they also at the sixth rank? And those smarter sea beasts, they’re probably already at the Seventh Level, right?

Wang Tao voiced his speculation,

The others, upon hearing it, all had serious expressions on their faces.

This possibility is very high!

If that really is the case, then the threat to humanity is even greater. After all, these rifts lead directly to the ocean, and no one can guarantee that other sea beasts won’t come through. When there are no sea beasts, Wang Tao and his team can’t possibly always stay here...

"There’s no real solution at the moment, we can only play it by ear." Wang Tao stroked his chin, then thought to himself that he doesn’t know what it’s like on the ocean, and maybe he could visit the seaside if he gets a chance in the future...

Afterward, Qu Shilin conducted various experiments on the sea beast corpses.

After testing, it confirmed one of Wang Tao’s previous guesses—these Disaster-level sea beasts have very strong Cataclysmic Awakening effects in the water, genuine Sixth Rank Cataclysmic Awakening. But once they are exposed to the air, their awakening effects greatly diminish, as if they’ve dropped a level, turning a Sixth Rank Cataclysmic Awakening into Level 5.

This is good news for humans; no fool would go into the water to fight with sea beasts. They would definitely attack them from the shore or the air. Even though the sea beasts can move on land, because the Cataclysmic Awakening is weakened, they are not as strong as thought, and hence the threat to humans isn’t as significant.

Of course, this conclusion is currently limited to the awakening of the [Highly Poisonous Water Vapor] of these big fish and sea beasts; it’s still unclear if other sea beasts are the same.

At that moment, Qu Shilin suddenly said:

"It’s also unknown why these Sixth Rank Disaster-level sea beasts gather together and how they achieve balance when they are together..."

"I don’t know either..."

This was also something Wang Tao was curious about.

Normally, Disaster-level creatures should not act in groups, just as Lords of the same rank would not appear in the same area.

But these sea beasts were grouping together, which really piqued Wang Tao’s curiosity.

Based on the information Wang Tao has so far, to make these same-level Lord Rank and above creatures act together, there is likely only one possibility—there is a higher-level creature suppressing them, forcing them to obey.

But Wang Tao had been killing these sea beasts for several days, and it had been very quiet at the rift; no other incidents had occurred. So Wang Tao was also sure it was not for this reason. Maybe sea beasts are somewhat different from land creatures?

And before Jiang Shixue took control of these sea beasts, they acted uniformly against the outsiders. Since these sea beasts can devour each other and aren’t very intelligent, how did they maintain cohesion without internal strife when they were together?

If there was a stronger sea beast commanding them, that would be another matter, but Wang Tao had not seen any such thing...

Now that the sea beast is dead, that curiosity can only be researched later.

Then there’s one last question—

Through testing, it has been confirmed that the Cataclysmic Awakening of the sea beasts does not affect each other.

But it’s unclear whether this only applies to sea beasts of the same kind or if all Disaster-level creatures are unaffected by Cataclysmic Awakening.

In theory, Cataclysmic Awakening should affect all surrounding creatures except for oneself.

But this is just Wang Tao’s conjecture, as he had never encountered a situation where two or more Disaster-level creatures appeared together.

Therefore, based solely on these sea beasts, it is still impossible to judge; more samples are needed...

Next, everyone continued to study the sea beasts, and Wang Tao checked the spoils obtained from killing them. He had been busy ever since the hunt, and he hadn’t had time to take a closer look.

A total of 14 Sixth Rank Disaster-level sea beasts and just the Awakening Seeds there are 14 of them! If all are planted, one could harvest over four thousand Awakening Fruits!

Over four thousand Awakening Fruits! That’s so many awakening potions that could be made!

"Changhe Base’s overall strength is about to see another big enhancement!"

Pleased, Wang Tao stored away the Awakening Fruits, and looked at the other tangible spoils of war.

[Received: Sixth Rank Crystal Core - Ascension x14]

[Received: Awakening Energy Beads x28]

[Received: Advanced Awakening Keys x28]

[Received: Magical Seeds x14]

[Received: Green Sand Fish Eyes x28]

"14 Magical Seeds! Excellent!"

Wang Tao hadn’t noticed before, but now he found that there were indeed 14 Magical Seeds. These could grant a person a Hidden Attribute for further Awakening. Wei Zhenguo and the others didn’t have four awakenings and were in need of things like Magical Seeds.

The Ascension crystal cores, Awakening Energy Beads, and Advanced Awakening Keys are not worth mentioning, as they are no longer useful to Wang Tao, but they are still very useful to others.

As for the last item, [Green Sand Fish Eye], it is a crafting material dropped by sea beasts. Just by looking at these big eyeballs, Wang Tao wasn’t sure what kind of equipment could be made with them.

Next are the Loot Packs.

The number of Loot Packs dropped by these 14 sea beasts is the same, and the items inside are also exactly the same.

Crystal Cores include [Sixth Rank Crystal Core: Awakening] x14, [Sixth Rank Crystal Core: Omnipotence] x14, [Sixth Rank Crystal Core: Stripping] x14, [Sixth Rank Crystal Core: Water Breathing] x14, [Sixth Rank Crystal Core: Water Attribute Enhancement] x14, [Sixth Rank Crystal Core: Water Attribute Defense] x14, and [Sixth Rank Crystal Core: Water Attribute Attack] x14.

All these crystal cores are of Red and Orange Quality. Apart from the relatively common Awakening, Omnipotent, and Stripping, [Water Breathing] is a rarity; Wang Tao had only obtained some of these previously when killing the big zombie fish, and they have been seldom encountered afterward.
