Chapter 272: Incarnate Xenomorph
γMonster: Fungal Giantγ
[Level: Scourge]
[Xeno: Incarnation (Giant's Power, Madness, Rapid Self-Healing, Regeneration of Severed Limbs, Manipulation of Plants)]
It's not the first time Ji Xinghuo has seen such xenomorph information, so he's no stranger to it.
It's an incarnation xenomorph!
Incarnate xenomorph is a kind of change ability, when killing monsters, there is a certain probability of forming an "incarnation" xenomorph, this xenomorph contains the abilities of multiple monsters, but it will not contain all abilities, most of them are in two or three, and the rest of the xenomorphs will disappear and cannot be collected.
Fused with the incarnation xenomorph, it can directly turn into this monster and have its abilities.
Therefore, the incarnation xenomorph is very cost-effective.
However, it has a downside, it has a very low meld success rate and is very repulsive, and many abilities cannot be cast after the transformation.
The career template of "Half-Orc" is to fuse multiple incarnations and transform into various forms.
In one form, the abilities of the other forms are useless.
However, it's not absolute, and if the two forms are relatively similar, some abilities can still be used after mastering transformation. Non-humanoid monsters, more repulsive; And humanoid monsters will be a little more compatible, so the price is higher.
The fungal giant is one of the best incarnate xenos, and in human form.
That's why Pond Scale chose to fuse with the "Fungal Giant", and when he became a giant, he remained in human form and still used martial arts and other abilities.
Ji Xinghuo had asked him for advice before.
The fungal giant in the pool is incarnated as a xenomorph, and he is just a superbout monster in his lifetime, with three abilities, and his value is equivalent to a super-limited xenomorph.
Obviously, his avatar is far inferior to the fungal giant in front of him.
It has five abilities!
"Rapid Self-Healing" and "Regeneration of Severed Limbs" alone are already over-limit abilities in their own right, and with the addition of the other three, the value of this avatar xenomorph is much higher than that of ordinary over-limit xenos.
Of course, the success rate of fusing it is certainly low, and there is a big risk to be taken.
But there are always people who want to give it a try.
Ji Xinghuo cut open the fungus giant's belly and dug out a soft mass of flesh, green in color and shaped like a mushroom.
[Xeno: Fungal Giant Incarnate]
[Grade: Overrun]
[Fusion success rate: 48%]
[Upgradeability: Yes]
Holding it in his hand, a xenomorph message popped up in front of him.
Ji Xinghuo glanced at it and couldn't help but shake his head: "Is the success rate only 48%?" He was still thinking just now that if the success rate of fusion was high enough, he could try it himself, after all, the ability of this incarnation xenomorph was so comprehensive, it was quite worthwhile to use a fusion opportunity for it.
However, with only a 48% success rate, he was directly discouraged.
Since getting the Vientiane Star Pupil, no ability has ever had a fusion success rate below 60%, and today it hit a new low, indicating that it doesn't match it at all.
"Take it and sell it."
"No matter how you say it, it can be worth dozens of ether crystals, if you bring it back to Earth, it shouldn't be a problem to sell three or four hundred million."
Ji Xinghuo collected the xenomorphs, and then walked towards the corpse of another cataclysmic fungus giant.
It's a pity that this fungal giant didn't form an incarnation xenomorph, it has 8 xenomorphs, including the five abilities of the incarnation just now, and the other three are high-quality and excellent xenos, and Ji Xinghuo has collected them all.
A total of ten fungal giants and ten stinger wyverns.
Ji Xinghuo checked them one by one and found two more incarnation xenos.
One is a super-grade fungal giant with three abilities; A super-level Stinger Wyvern avatar, consisting of four abilities, is far less valuable than a fungal giant avatar because it is non-human and the abilities are not particularly good.
There were still two or three thousand monster corpses around, Ji Xinghuo searched patiently, and found more than a dozen incarnation xenos, all kinds of monsters.
"Is the probability so high?"
He realized that something was wrong, the monsters on the Abyss Star were clearly different from the Astral Boundary.
The number of xenos is lower than the average, but the probability of forming an incarnation xenomorph is much higher than that of the monsters in the astral plane, at least ten times higher!
In the past two years, Ji Xinghuo has killed so many monsters in the astral realm, the largest number is the stone sickle, the total number may be tens of thousands, but he has only encountered three incarnation xenos, because it is the incarnation of the stone sickle, the quality of the ability is not high, so it is not worth much.
And today, these monsters are only two or three thousand, and more than a dozen incarnation xenomorphs have been formed.
Ji Xinghuo couldn't figure it out.
The feeling that the earth abyss star gives itself is that it is strange everywhere.
With so many xenos of monster corpses, he definitely couldn't collect them for a while, so he gave up a lot of low-value xenos, and after getting it done, he quickly left.
Before dark, Ji Xinghuo entered the underground shelter.
In today's battle, the spiritual source energy has exceeded 60,000 points, and in addition to the xenomorphs, there is an unexpected gain.
That's the Eternal Day.
Fungal Giants and Stinger Wyverns only give 1 point of spiritual source energy, but their merit value is very high, just a natural calamity-level fungal giant will give 12 points of merit, and the super-level one also has 3 points! Ten fungal giants and ten stinger wyverns have earned a total of 108 merit points!
"1722 points of merit." Ji Xinghuo looked at the badge and was very satisfied with it.
Rest the night at the shelter.
The next day, Ji Xinghuo set off early in the morning, but did not stop in this first-level area, and went to the nearest underground passage as fast as possible and got on the vacuum train.
For the past ten days, he has been active in the northern hemisphere of the Earth Abyss Star.
First, he returned to Guardian City, replenished his guns, weapons and some supplies, and then went to the Southern Hemisphere, but he still stayed away from the high-level danger area, and chose the area located on the edge, which was completely opposite to the previous direction, tens of thousands of kilometers away.
The climate change of the Abyssal Star is very small, and there are no seasons.
There is no difference between the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere, the surface is still covered with dense vegetation, and the endless primeval forests and meadows make it very easy to get lost.
As soon as Ji Xinghuo arrived, he first explored the surrounding environment and monsters, and after making sure that there was not much danger, he began to gather monsters.
However, he realized the problem soon after he started.
Monsters can't get together!
As in the previous case, many monsters do not chase too far, and their initiative has decreased a lot, often giving up or falling behind.
The movement caused is not large, and it cannot attract monsters further away, forming a snowball effect.
"Hell yes!"
Ji Xinghuo simply turned around, chopping melons and vegetables, and hacked thousands of monsters to death, harvesting more than a thousand points of spiritual source energy and more than a dozen meritorious points.
Looking at the corpses everywhere, he thought thoughtfully.
Then he returned to the underground passage, and changed to a first-level area thousands of kilometers away, and tried to gather monsters again, but he was not surprised by the results, and he still couldn't gather them, and at most he could reach more than a thousand monsters, so there was no way to increase them.
"All the monsters on the Abyss Star are controlled by the same will or a system behind them." Ji Xinghuo confirmed his guess.
"They're not loose, sapient creatures."
"I killed so many monsters, and the will behind it was directed against me, sending out the Fungal Giant and the Stinger Wyvern, but it misjudged my strength."
"There will be a next time, it will definitely be more dangerous!"
Ji Xinghuo's eyes were solemn.
Only then did he realize that he had to be more cautious in his actions on the Abyss Star, and it was impossible to hunt a large number of monsters as wantonly as he had in the previous ten days. In this way, the efficiency of obtaining spiritual energy and meritorious deeds will be much reduced, but for the sake of safety, it is better to keep a low profile.
After that, Ji Xinghuo only started hunting monsters, but never stayed in one area for more than two days.
He no longer pursues attracting too many monsters, and when he finds a group of monsters, he starts shooting some of them with a crystal gun, and then kills them with a tomahawk when the monsters rush up.
With electromagnetic induction, the search for monsters is also good.
Over the course of a day, Ji Xinghuo could find more than a dozen groups of monsters, and every day there were 1,000 to 2,000 spiritual sources in the account.
Eternal Day feats have also steadily increased.
With this efficiency, it would take at least ten days to clear out the monsters in an area, but Ji Xinghuo never stayed for more than two days, and he would definitely leave before dark the next day.
Then take a vacuum train, randomly select another area, harvest for two days and then change places.
It's like fighting guerrilla warfare.
Although the efficiency is low and the harvest is reduced, it is safe enough.
This lasted for more than 30 days, and there were only about 15 hours a day on the Earth Abyss Star, and 30 days was only equivalent to the early 10 days of the Star Boundary.
Ji Xinghuo originally wanted to stay in the Earth Abyss Star for a while longer, but when he was resting in the underground shelter that night, he logged on to the forum of the Eternal Day Guardian and saw a news released by the Jingying Clan, and the Treasure Auction House was about to launch a new one, including a few Heavenly Diamonds.
This immediately sparked a heated discussion among the Guardians of the Eternal Day.
The most attractive thing of the Jingying Clan, the Heavenly Diamond ranks first, and it can increase two fusion opportunities at a time, such an expansion curiosity is too rare.
Whether you use it yourself or take it away from the bloody plateau and sell it, it's very tempting!
Ji Xinghuo browsed the posts on the forum, and almost knew the starting prices of many auction items, and decided to go back to participate in the auction this time.
So I took the vacuum train overnight and returned to Guardian City.
He applied to the Jingying guards to enter the Star Gate, waited for a long time, set off with a group of Eternal Day Guards, took the elevator deep underground, passed through layers of defense and inspection to arrive at the City of Eternal Night, and after entering the Star Gate, he finally returned to the Star Boundary.
Coming out of the Illuminated Peak and standing on the streets of the City of Eternal Day, Ji Xinghuo felt like a world away.
"It's back!"
These days, he walks alone most of the time, and he has never touched anyone else on the surface except for monsters.
This is because most of the Eternal Day Guardians will travel to areas above level 2.
There are very few people mixed in the first-class area.
Naturally, no other Eternal Day Guardian found that someone was frantically sweeping monsters in the first-level area, and they didn't know about Ji Xinghuo's existence.
Ji Xinghuo stayed in the hotel last time, and in the room, he counted his net worth.
The bidding of the Treasure Auction House requires Aether Crystals and Eternal Day Merit, and their own merits are enough, but there are not too many Aether Crystals.
There are only 67 Aether Crystals.
The starting price of the Heavenly Diamond is 55 Aether Crystals + 100 Eternal Day Merit, and if there is a competitor, you may miss out on the Aether Crystal at the beginning.
"I'm going to get some aether crystals, it's safer to bid."
Ji Xinghuo walked out of the hotel and went to the Treasure Auction House, and when he arrived, he found that it was even more lively than the last time he came.
It's bustling, like a wet market.
Everyone looked up at the screen from time to time, but there were no Heavenly Diamonds or any of the treasures that would spark fierce bidding.
There were a lot of people lining up in front of several auctioneers of the Jingying clan, and Ji Xinghuo walked through and stood at the back of the line.
Soon it was their turn.
Ji Xinghuo entered the secret room of the auction house and met an acquaintance.
It's still the arachnid crystal clan called "Xuanming" last time, as soon as he saw Ji Xinghuo, his eyes showed a little surprise, and he smiled: "It's you, you're back so soon." β
Ji Xinghuo noticed the other party's emotional changes, and was surprised in his heart, "Your Excellency Xuanming remembers me?" β
"Hehe......"
Xuan Ming suddenly laughed, "It's normal that those people outside don't know you, but you are in my clan, and now you are a celebrity." β
Ji Xinghuo was shocked, and then he was relieved.
The Earth Abyss Star is the home star of the Jingying family, and there are satellites in orbit to monitor the surface of the earth at all times, and their actions will definitely not be able to hide from them. Perhaps, since the first day, the Jingying clan has been secretly observing their every move, discussing it countless times.
Xuanming took a deep look at Ji Xinghuo and saw that he didn't want to talk more, so he asked, "What business do you want to handle?" β
"Consignment Auction."
Ji Xinghuo said simply, and took out a green mushroom from his backpack, which was the incarnation of the fungal giant. It is one of the most valuable things in hand, and if you don't need it, your family and friends shouldn't need it, so you can simply sell it for ether crystals.
Xuan Ming took the xenomorph and tasted it twice, and exclaimed: "Good thing! β
"This avatar xenomorph is qualified to go to the auction house, and I accept the commission." He looked at Ji Xinghuo, "You set a starting price." β
"How much do you think is appropriate?" Ji Xinghuo asked, and added, "I only sell ether crystals. β
Xuan Ming immediately replied: "30 starts." β
"Okay."
Ji Xinghuo accepted the starting price, which was much higher than he expected. Xuan Ming has been in charge of the Treasure Auction House for many years, and his pricing is definitely fine.
"You are an amethyst badge, and only 10% of the handling fee will be charged after the successful auction, which will be deducted from the transaction price, and there will be no charge if the auction is unsuccessful." Xuan Ming said, "This is our entrustment contract, you can sign it if you read it first and think it's okay." β
He pulled out a palm-sized crystal plate, typed it in a flash of light, and handed it over.
After Ji Xinghuo read it, he signed his name with a crystal pen.
Soon, the screen in the lobby of the auction house refreshed, adding the incarnation xenomorph of the fungal giant and detailing the abilities it possessed.
"Fungal Giant Incarnate, Quantity 1, Starting Price: 30 Aether Crystals, Current Price: None, Time Remaining: 10 Star Hours."
Such a powerful xenomorph immediately caused a commotion.
When Ji Xinghuo walked into the hall, he found that there were already bidders, and it was quite fierce, breaking through 45 ether crystals after several rounds of bidding.
It was completely unexpected.
"It's so valuable?" Ji Xinghuo suddenly felt that he had underestimated the value of this incarnate xenomorph.
