When it came to dealing with the higher level Mutant Beasts, the most difficult part about them was always their scales, fur or skin. It was incredibly difficult to harm them with just normal methods. Coupled with the fact that these monsters possessed huge strength and various abilities, wanting to achieve victory over these monsters was extremely difficult. Although Yue Zhong could easily dispose of an L2 or a normal Mutant Water Snake with his Dark Magic Sword, he had no way of slashing open this Mutant Elite Water Snake’s scales.
The Mutant Elite Water Snake felt Yue Zhong lying on its head, and as it shook its head around, the snake immediately rushed over to knock its head against a large tree.
Yue Zhong did not dare to stay on the snake’s head for any longer. He let go and rolled towards the side.
Meanwhile, the Mutant Elite Water Snake had rammed viciously against the large tree that was 30 cm in diameter; that tree was hit squarely in the middle with great force, causing it to snap into two like a twig. From this, it could be seen how incomparably ferocious the attack was.
The moment Yue Zhong landed, he quickly escaped to the side.
Once again, the Mutant Elite Water Snake used its tongue to sense its surroundings, before charging frenzily towards Yue Zhong once again.
Yue Zhong shot out a Bone Spear and propelled himself up into the air, before landing on the head of the beast once again. He hugged onto its head and pressed the Stinger against the snake’s skull, firing off 6 shots.
The 6 Stinger bullets managed to tear through the incomparably hard scales of the Mutant Elite Water Snake, penetrating through its head and piercing its brain.
After firing those 6 shots, Yue Zhong quickly leapt off of the snake’s head.
Upon receiving the 6 shots, the Mutant Elite Water Snake immediately began to writhe about in excruciating pain, its huge body constantly striking against the surrounding trees as it struggled.
[Congratulations on reaching Level 39, you have gained 2 Enhancement Points!]
[Congratulations on reaching Level 40, you have gained 2 Enhancement Points!]
[Congratulations on reaching Level 40, you have gained 1 Skill Strengthening Point!]
Once those 2 Mutant Elite Water Snakes had fallen, 2 huge orbs of experience entered Yue Zhong’s body; adding onto those 10 normal Mutant Water Snakes that he had killed before, the total amount of experience he had gained pushed him up to Level 40.
Yue Zhong quickly chose to enhance his Agility by 4 points. As he examined the skills he currently possessed, he sighed and chose to spend his Skill Strengthening Point on the Devil Flame Skill.
[Level 3 Skill: Devil Flame: (Enhanced +1).
Consumes 5 Stamina Points and 5 Spirit Points to activate; upon activation, it will consume 1 Stamina Point and 1 Spirit Point every 10 seconds. Its power is dependant on your Spirit, Stamina, Endurance and Vitality.
Under the circumstances where the amounts of Spirit and Stamina being channelled out are the same, the Devil Flame’s output will be twice its original power. You can now also use the flame to form other shapes.]
With just a thought, Yue Zhong activated his upgraded Devil Flame Skill. He felt that it was now a lot easier to conjure up the flames, and with another thought, the Devil Flame immediately left his hand and was suspended in mid-air.
“So this really was the case!!”
Yue Zhong had seen Enhancers like Flame King Gu Zhixing and Ice King Zhang Yun controlling their respective skills without any restrictions, manipulating the elemental forces to conjure up different forms, such as fireballs or ice cones.
Yue Zhong thought of the action in his heart and the suspended fireball flew out, bombarding a huge tree and causing a fist-sized scorch mark to appear on it.
He looked at the scorch mark and quietly assessed the damage potential of his Devil Flame Skill: “Compared to the Fireball Skill, it’s just slightly weaker! If I continue to increase my Spirit and Stamina, then I should be able to cause the same amount of damage as the Fireball Skill can.”
After finishing up, Yue Zhong walked up to the corpse of one of the Mutant Elite Water Snakes. He used his Dark Magic Blade to pierce through a small hole in its head that had been created by the Stinger, before using all his strength to saw through and prise open the scales nearby.
He reached inside the head and forcibly dug out a red nucleus the size of a finger, as well as a small bead of blood essence.
Yue Zhong did the same for the other Mutant Elite Snake, eventually digging out the same things.
