Chapter 9: Mutations
"Be careful, everybody."
Xue Peng was holding a stainless steel machete, vigilantly observing the surroundings, beside him, Li Bin's body was metalized, and a silver luster appeared, and his defensive power was amazing.
Qin Shu had a strange expression, and he found that he seemed to be able to control the ability to metalize Li Bin.
As long as it is a metal substance, it can be manipulated by him.
"Brother, can I touch it?"
Qin Shu pretended to be curious, leaned over and asked.
Li Bin smiled and said briskly: "Of course you can." ”
Then Qin Shu was not welcome, he reached out and touched it, the cold touch, flicked it, and the sound was crisp.
Metallization +1
Metallization +1
Metallization +3
…………
After touching it for less than a minute, Qin Shu withdrew his hand with satisfaction, and smiled.
Everyone rested in place for a few minutes, and during this time, he fused his body's metalization ability.
"Discover the two talents of petrified skin and body metalization, do you choose to merge the talents?"
"After the fusion is successful, the two attributes are fused into one, the body is transformed into stone, the immune to metal manipulation, the defense is tripled, and it is upgraded to a D-level talent!"
An abrupt voice sounded in his mind, Qin Shu was stunned, can the attributes still be fused?
After the fusion, the defense is stronger, and it is immune to the ability of awakening to manipulate metal, and the control of the awakened.
If that's the case, then what are you hesitating about, of course, choosing fusion!
A wonderful sensation emerged in the body, and there was no pain in the process, the two attributes merged into one, becoming a new attribute, and the body was stoned!
It's a pity that there is no way to test it now, otherwise he wants to see what this stone iron looks like.
After resting, everyone continued to hurry, and soon they could see a high mountain, with ancient trees and countless mutant beasts, which could be described as a dangerous place.
However, at the top of the mountain, there was a bare clearing, in the middle of which was a chestnut tree 100 meters high, and the bark had been torn off in large pieces, leaving scratches.
On the tree, there are four chestnuts the size of tires.
Nearby, the ground was pitted, and the corpses of mutant beasts could be seen everywhere, some of them were obviously just dead, and some of them even had a rancid smell.
Here, Qin Shu actually saw the white-haired giant ape he had seen a few days ago again!
It's just that it's one of the corpses on the ground, and only the upper half of its body remains, and it's bleeding all over the ground.
"Such a powerful mutant beast, what was it killed by!"
Qin Shu's face was solemn, and he didn't dare to be careless.
The group approached in the direction of the chestnut tree, and when they were halfway up the mountain, they encountered a mutated grizzly bear.
It was fast, like a sedan in extreme speed, rushing towards five people!
But when it was twenty meters away from everyone, its speed suddenly slowed down, and taking this opportunity, Zhang Chaoyuan took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and a pillar of fire more than ten meters long erupted.
And Li Bin's body surface instantly appeared with a metallic texture, standing in front of everyone, waiting for it.
Xue Peng, the power awakener, rushed out with a knife and went straight to the mutant grizzly bear, and the four of them cooperated tacitly.
Only Qin Shu stood aside and watched, nothing did to him.
The gray giant bear roared, its fur was scorched, and then it was slashed by Xue Peng, who rushed in front of him, and half of his head was cut out.
Instant tragic death!
"Phew, this bear is really big." Xue Peng wiped the blood-dripping knife and laughed.
After such a small episode, everyone quickly approached the mutant chestnut tree, and stopped when the distance was less than 100 meters.
There were more than thirty mutant beast corpses nearby, some of them missing arms and legs, and their flesh and blood were blurred, as if they had been hit by a missile.
There are also more than a dozen large craters on the ground, apparently caused by the explosion.
"Strange, how could this be, how did they all die?" Li Bin frowned, relying on his metallization ability, and approached the mutated chestnut tree.
It wasn't until he came to a distance of less than ten meters from the chestnut tree that he stopped, still not daring to let his guard down and look for potential danger.
A few minutes passed, Li Bin walked around the neighborhood, and nothing happened.
"There doesn't seem to be any danger, you can come here." He beckoned to a few people waiting not far away.
"It should be that these mutant beasts are fighting each other, and the final winner is not lightly injured, leaving these four chestnuts behind."
Zhang Chaoyuan guessed.
"I also think so, otherwise how could the fruit of the tree not be plucked." Xue Peng felt that it made sense.
So the question is, there are only four mutant chestnuts, and there are five of them, how should they be distributed?
The four people present all looked at Qin Shu in unison, or vaguely.
The meaning was obvious, to ask him to give up chestnuts.
"No, I came all the way here, and you didn't even give me a chestnut!" Qin Shu felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and as revenge, he decided not to tell what he had just discovered.
Just now, when he was watching from a distance, through the ability to manipulate plants, he sensed that this mutated chestnut tree was very dangerous!
The other plants and trees, in their own eyes, emitted green fluorescent, only this mutated chestnut tree, emitting a strange red light.
and cannot be controlled.
Why is there a lot of mutant beast corpses here, the reason is obvious at this time.
"Brother Qin, you haven't made much effort along the way, you still don't want this mutated chestnut." Xue Peng raised his eyes and asked him to take the initiative to give up chestnuts, after all, there were only four, not enough for five people.
"I knew that it was just the four of us coming, but everyone is here with us, so we can't go home empty-handed, so let's give you another hundred points when the time comes, and it's worth the trip."
Zhang Chaoyuan nodded, and then said, "Don't feel wronged, what about the C-level talent for controlling plants, when you meet my E-level flame control talent, it's not innate to be restrained." ”
The meaning is obvious, don't think about fighting, you can't fight.
Among the five people, the only woman, Liu Qingqing echoed, "Okay, don't target him, one hundred points is too little, give two hundred." ”
Qin Shu was silent, clenched his fists tightly, looked angry, didn't say a word, turned around and left.
"It's okay to be angry and leave, but it's also self-aware." Li Bin smiled.
Since there is one less person, it is time to pick chestnuts.
The four of them coincidentally walked towards the mutant chestnut tree, with a smile on the corner of their mouths, so easily they got the mutant chestnut and two thousand points, which was just like picking it up for nothing.
On the other side, Qin Shu didn't go far, but chose to wait and see from a distance, this group of bastards actually kicked themselves out, wanting one less porridge.
In that case, what is the need for him?
Tell them there's something wrong with the chestnut tree.
"Even if you all die later, it's none of my business, who made you so selfish!" He thought.
"I'll pick it." Xue Peng laughed, holding a big knife and about to cut off the fruit on the tree.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
