Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe

With the death of Tai Sui, the life essence contained in the mother's body escaped in an instant.

A thick gray mist erupted from the mycelium and frantically poured into Chen Ye's body.

At the same time, the teammates in the watchtower also received equal benefits.

[Congratulations, teammate (Lin Zimo)'s source power level has been increased to level 3]

[Congratulations, teammate (Lu Ze)'s Source Power level has been upgraded to 2]

……

In addition to these two people, Tang Qiuya and Xu Luyao were also successfully promoted to the second level.

However, Chen Ye himself was not promoted.

The reason is simple.

In the course of the previous battle, in order to drive the bronze power armor and the bronze longsword, he almost consumed the life essence.

When he was fighting with Tai Sui's mother just now, he also used his regenerative ability to repair his wounds.

There is not much life essence, and it is directly deducted.

If you compare the essentia of life to an experience bar.

After destroying Tai Sui's mother, his experience bar increased by half.

It's still far from the 3rd tier.

In addition, the Tai Sui Mother is essentially an artificial creature.

So according to the rules of this world, there are no survival points rewarded.

But Chen Ye was not disappointed by this.

Because after the teammates are upgraded, there are four lucky treasure chests in the account at once.

That's more valuable than survival points!

However, he doesn't plan to open it now.

Without the Survival Points Enhancement Chest, it would be a waste to open it directly.

It's better to save it first, and after all the reinforcements are completed, come directly to a wave of ten.

Accompanied by rolling thunder in the sky, purple-red lightning streaked across the sky, briefly illuminating the cave more than ten meters deep.

The mycelium that spreads all over the surroundings has been fused into a basalt texture.

Looking at the thunder light, it was a little less terrifying and a little more weird.

Chen Ye stood in the cave and waited for a while, but he never saw Liu Zijun again.

He picked up the intelligence core on the ground.

The cube, glowing with a metallic sheen, didn't react at all, except for a little hot to the touch.

It seems that Liu Zijun and Tai Sui's mother "died together".

What just happened was too sudden.

Even if Chen Ye strengthened his body, he had the ability to confront Tai Sui's mother head-on.

But the end result was not satisfactory.

Whether it's weaponry or natural ability, he needs to go further.

In addition, Liu Zijun left gifts in the temple of the ruins of the ancient capital city.

In connection with the content of the previous conversation, the "gifts" he mentioned are likely to be weapons and equipment collected from the ruins, or some special items.

I hope I can use this to improve some combat power!

Chen Ye took a deep breath and put away the intelligence core and the bronze power armor that Liu Zijun had left aside.

At this time, the projector floating next to it, due to the lack of energy supply from the core life engine, began to flash red.

[Standby energy is exhausted and is about to enter sleep mode]

Chen Ye put the projector into the storage space, turned his head and left the cave.

The tentacles that were still wriggling before were now all petrified, entwined around the matrix.

Chen Ye stepped on the tentacles and climbed to the island in three or two clicks.

But as soon as he landed, he couldn't help but exclaim.

In front of my eyes, a crack more than a meter wide ran through the entire island from west to east.

If Li Ranran hadn't desperately fused the mycelium into basalt, the island would have split in half.

At that time, several people in the watchtower will die tragically in the rubble.

The sky was covered with black clouds, lightning and thunder.

Chen Ye didn't dare to stay longer, and immediately stepped over the crack and walked quickly to the dilapidated watchtower.

If it weren't for the stability of the main structure, this two-story safe house is estimated to have collapsed in this disaster.

He walked through the crumbling western wall and into the messy living room.

Everyone sat on the ground, smiling for the rest of their lives.

Chen Ye looked around and found that Li Ranran was leaning against the wall, her face pale.

She spent all the life essence and fused the mycelium and even the Tai Sui mother into basalt.

It was precisely because of this that her source power level was not raised.

With the blessing of the core life engine, Li Ranran is now in good health, but a little weak.

Lu Ze, who also looked haggard, stepped forward and whispered a few words to Chen Ye.

Then he helped his squad leader and went upstairs to rest.

Chen Ye picked up the core life engine on the ground.

Due to excessive consumption, this energy device also went into a dormant state.

At this time, Lin Zimo stepped forward, looked at his broken scale armor, and said worriedly: "You're not injured, are you?" ”

Chen Ye dusted off the dust on his body and chuckled: "I'm fine, it's just that I scratched a little skin." ”

Lin Zimo nodded, and asked again: "What's the situation outside now?" ”

"The crisis is over."

Chen Ye roughly told him what happened just now.

After listening to this, Lin Zimo patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's dangerous!"

Then, she couldn't help but sigh: "Less than four days after coming to this world, I encountered this situation, what can I do in the future!" ”

To be honest, Chen Ye is also a little scared now.

Who would have thought that beneath the ruins of the town would hide such an amazing secret.

If they hadn't occupied the right time, place, and people, they might not have been able to defeat the Tai Sui Mother.

"My source power has been upgraded to the 3rd rank, but the talent is not a combat type, and it still can't come in handy in actual combat."

Lin Zimo spoke in a low voice, and his tone was full of apologies.

She felt guilty.

Whether it was Lu Ze or Li Ranran, they did not hesitate to risk their lives to defend this island.

But she couldn't do anything.

It can only hold a compound crossbow and inflict painless damage to the attacking tentacles.

"As the saying goes, there is a target."

Chen Ye said with relief.

"Everyone has a unique natural ability, and you don't have to be good in combat to be useful."

"As long as you can help your team, you're helping!"

In fact, talent aside, Lin Zimo's ability to rise to the 3rd level has already surprised Chen Ye.

Because two days ago, the two of them rose to the 2nd level at the same time.

Although she subsequently gained some life essence, it was impossible for her to rise to the third order so quickly.

Chen Ye absorbed the life essence from the Tai Sui Mother's body, but the experience bar only increased by half.

Could it be that the Tai Sui Mother Body can't compare to the first-order alien beasts in the forest area?

Therefore, Chen Ye has reason to believe that there is a gap between people and the upper limit of people's experience!

Perhaps Lin Zimo only needed one day to improve the source power level.

But others take two, three, or even more time.

People who can get SR-level talents at the beginning of the game are really not easy.

There was constant thunder outside.

Before, there were Tai Sui's tentacles on the side to guide the mines, but now that they are all petrified, the thunder and lightning began to bombard the island with impunity.

Chen Ye looked at the dilapidated watchtower, and a system prompt appeared in front of him.

【Tower(LV.2) Repair Required: Stone*35, Wood*10, Mortar*5

It's a bit of a lot of building materials!

Chen Ye was a little surprised.

I didn't expect the material consumption to increase so much after the safe house upgrade.

Even if all the basalt walls scattered on the ground were collected, there was still a gap of 20 units of stone in the end.

In the previous scuffle, a lot of basalt stones flew out of the island.

Chen Ye opened the consignment center and was about to buy some basalt and wood.

But on second thought.

If it is directly strengthened, will it also repair the building completely?

To validate the idea.

Chen Ye found a stone axe in the storage room.

After smashing the axe blade, it directly consumes 5 survival points to strengthen it.

With a flash of light, the texture of the stone axe became harder.

And the missing axe blade is also complete again.

What is this principle, is it a bug?

Chen Ye thought about it, and a common mechanism in games came to mind.

Enhanced Reset Durability!
