Chapter 465: Cursed State

"There are so many ...... curses"

Seeing all kinds of curses, Wang Tao was a little confused.

He thought that the curse would be a state like "Bleed" that would make people lose blood continuously, or a state like "Weak" that would reduce the enemy's abilities in some way.

But after Wang Tao used it, he found that he thought too simply, the specific state of this curse was not fixed, and "bleeding", "weakness" and so on were all wrapped in the curse!

And the reason why Wang Tao almost killed someone was because he wanted to see if the same person could suffer different curses, so he tried it on a condemned prisoner.

Three curses soon appeared on the heads of the condemned prisoners at once.

[Curse: Bleeding]

[Curse: Poison]

[Curse: Scorch]

These three curses are all blood deductions, and the death row prisoner's already small health bar is almost cleared.

Although the prisoner was sentenced to death, it didn't matter if he was really dead. But this is the rule in the base after all, and it is better for Wang Tao not to destroy it.

After letting go of this dying death row prisoner, Wang Tao tried it on other prisoners. This time he was much more cautious, and instead of catching another sheep, he brought in more prisoners and experimented with them one by one.

After some time, Wang Tao became more aware of this curse.

First of all, it is certain that there can only be a maximum of three curses on a person at the same time. After more than three curses, he will not have a fourth curse if he continues to attack with dark energy, unless one of the previous three curses disappears, then the subsequent dark attacks will make up for a curse.

Secondly, the duration of these curses is not consistent, some are long and some are short, probably ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes, and the time of the curse's existence has nothing to do with its strength. Strong or weak, it's that long.

And then there's the power of these curses. The specific power is not easy to test, but it is related to the strength of Wang Tao's shot, the less dark energy he uses, the weaker the curse. If he shoots with all his might, the curse will be strong, and there is no fixed value - there may be an upper limit, but these prisoners obviously can't withstand the upper limit of Wang Tao's test.

Finally, there are how many of these curses there are.

Wang Tao has found weakness, poisoning, bleeding, burning, blindness, slowing, freezing, armor piercing, and critical hits...... Scattered in a bunch of them.

Among these curses, there are those that directly cause damage, such as poisoning, bleeding, burning, etc.; There are those that reduce the enemy's attributes, such as weakness, armor piercing, blindness, etc.; There are also those that inflict strange status effects on the enemy, such as critical hits, which greatly increase the chance of being hit (double damage) when attacked......

Wang Tao felt that this should not be all curses, but he couldn't test them for a while, because the more powerful the curse, the lower the probability of appearing. For example, there is a curse called "Slash", which seems to be powerful, but it only appears once.

The lives of prisoners are also fate, not all of them are condemned to death, and it is difficult to explain if they really kill people. I can only continue the experiment when I kill zombies in the future.

Speaking of this [Curse: Slash], Wang Tao felt that this should be the most powerful curse he had ever seen.

[Curse: Slash]

[Slash: Dies, when your current HP is less than 20% of your total HP]

This [Curse: Slash] lasts for 3 minutes, and after a prisoner is hit by this curse, the last 20% of his green health bar will be dark green, as long as the blood volume is reduced to the dark green range, he will die instantly!

In other words, when an enemy is cursed by Slash, he only has 80% HP for 3 minutes!

This curse may not be of much use to humans, but if it is against those zombies and monsters with high blood and defense, it will be very effective!

For example, if you can get a giant zombie with 400,000 blood to hit, then it is equivalent to 80,000 blood in an instant! This is undoubtedly a great reduction in the difficulty of killing.

However, the duration of [Curse: Slash] is only 3 minutes, and you need to reduce the enemy's HP to 80% within 3 minutes, otherwise it will be useless.

Of course, this is not much of a problem for Wang Tao. If he is going to hunt an enemy, he usually does so with confidence, and it is impossible for the enemy to survive for more than 3 minutes, and at most 1 minute before the battle is over. If it takes more than 3 minutes, it may need to be grinded slowly, and it doesn't matter if you have this curse or not......

After figuring out what the effect of the curse was, Wang Tao left the prison.

This newly awakened [Heart of Darkness] was stronger than he had imagined, whether it was simulating various attacks or curse effects, it was far beyond his expectations. Let his combat effectiveness be greatly improved.

But this awakening is not without its drawbacks, the biggest drawback is that the ability of [Heart of Darkness] fusion is [Fusion], and [Fusion] contains all of Wang Tao's offensive abilities. In other words, he can't use abilities like Shockwave without using dark energy.

If you use dark energy, you can simulate a similar move, and it is more powerful, has a wider range, and has a shorter cooldown, but it does not consume blue energy, but awakening energy!

Wang Tao has 120,000 blue energy, but the awakening energy is only 3,100...... It's hard. This is equivalent to his burst increase, but the endurance is reduced.

Especially when Wang Tao studied it carefully, he found that the three remaining abilities on his body were [Rage Amplification], [Fireball], and [Explosion].

Rage Amplification is a fusion of passive abilities that don't deplete blue; [Explosion] is a fire-based ability that compresses all of your Awakened Energy to explode, and it doesn't consume blue. Only [Fireball] consumes blue, but it consumes both blue and awakening energy, and does not consume much blue......

In other words, Wang Tao's current 120,000 blue volume, only this [fireball] that does not consume much blue can be consumed! So much blue only serves this [fireball] that doesn't consume much blue? Wang Tao was a little speechless, feeling a little wasted.

But it can't be helped, the ability with attributes won't be fused into the Awakening, neither [Fireball] nor [Burst] can be fused, only [Berserk Amplification] and [Fusion], who let the [Fusion] ability merge into the New Awakening?

"In the future, it will be up to fate in terms of increasing the amount of blue, whether it is improved or not, but the awakening energy must be much improved!"

Wang Tao said silently.

In addition to the fixed improvement of the fusion crystal nucleus, the improvement of the blue amount also depends on the opportunity. But the awakening energy is different, as long as there is an awakening crystal nucleus or an awakening energy bead, it can be improved all the time, but the further it goes, the greater the consumption, Wang Tao now wants to increase 100 awakening energy, he has to consume more than 30 awakening crystal nuclei!

"I don't know if there is an awakening crystal nucleus for sale in the base...... Let's get back to the attention! ”

Wang Tao originally wanted to ask Qu Shilin for help, but thinking that she was now in retreat to do research, Wang Tao sent a message to Gu Yun. As mayor, he must know a lot.

It didn't take long for Gu Yun to reply to the message.

He told Wang Tao that the Awakened Crystal Nucleus was sold, but the price was relatively high, after all, there were some Awakened people in the base one after another, and this kind of crystal nucleus was something they needed very much.

However, this high price refers to high-quality crystal nuclei, that is, crystal nuclei above purple. For example, the blue crystal nucleus is much cheaper, and the white crystal nucleus is even cheaper. After all, this kind of crystal nucleus can only be used by the awakened, and the awakened are basically relatively wealthy, so there is no need to save money and cause more impurities in their bodies.

This is obviously good news for Wang Tao, after all, he can synthesize crystal nuclei, and white crystal nuclei can also be used.

So, Wang Tao went to the Awakening School by the way, and asked Nie Siyan to buy the low-level Awakening Crystal Nucleus in the base in the name of the Spark Society. He's not bad for money now, and he wants as much as he wants.

Although it was still snowing at this time, it was a busy scene inside the Awakening School.

The buildings were almost full of people, all of whom had come to the school to sign up. If it weren't for the cold outside, it is estimated that there would be more people.

Wang Tao didn't plan to come over, but since he came, he took a look by the way.

Under such a number, it is true that some people have hidden attributes.

Gu Yun, who was sweating profusely, came downstairs to invite Wang Tao to go up, and his gaze at Wang Tao was a little resentful. In fact, this was originally the principal's job, but who made Wang Tao have the strength, this kind of laborious work can only be done for him.

However, when Wang Tao wrote down some numbers at random and told him that these people were qualified, Gu Yun was happy again. Just focus on the background of these people later, there is no problem with the background, even if it is passed, after all, it was named by Wang Tao himself.

As for the others, then I'm embarrassed, even if the background is clean, the school won't accept it, because the qualifications are not enough. Wang Tao saved Gu Yun a lot of time this time.

Gu Yun almost wanted to say that Wang Tao would be in charge of the school now, but he didn't say anything after thinking about it. If you can really train a few awakened people for the base, then it's worth it.

After dark, Wang Tao took Ding Yuqin, who had come before, and they went back together.

"Wang Tao, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to Sanjue!"

Everyone had time to congratulate Wang Tao.

At the same time, I am also looking forward to it, Wang Tao has awakened three times now, how strong is it?

Of course, they were also very curious about what Wang Tao's new awakening was, and they didn't ask if there were many people before.

Wang Tao briefly showed it to everyone, and when they saw that Wang Tao could control the dark energy, so that the entire car was darkened by the way, and even the lights were blocked, everyone felt very novel. This feeling is very similar to the previous Black Mist Zombies, but it is not as uncomfortable as the Black Mist of the Black Mist Zombies, it just purely obscures the light.

However, when Wang Tao introduced his curse ability, everyone felt a chill on their backs. If there are three curses on your body at the same time, it will probably be uncomfortable.

But if you're dealing with zombies, that's another story! They wish they could curse as much as possible.

Wang Tao wondered if his [Heart of Darkness] could merge with the previous two awakenings. Today is limited in time, just tested the curse effect. I haven't tested whether it can be fused yet......

After returning home, Wang Tao began another test.

It seems that it is more difficult to fuse [Heart of Darkness] and [Spiritual Development], Wang Tao has tried many times without success, and he doesn't know if he can fuse.

However, the fusion of [Heart of Darkness] and [Spark of the Plain] is exceptionally smooth!

When Wang Tao activates [Spark Rebellion] and the flames are burning all over his body, the "Flame Blaster" he uses becomes the "Dark Flame Blaster", and he uses both fire and dark damage!

And the range is larger than that of the "Dark Blaster", and the cooldown time is also shorter! It also inherits the "Scorched" state of the Fire Blaster and the "Cursed" state of the Dark Blaster. This "Burn" and "Curse: Burn" are okay.

In other words, if you use the Dark Awakening under the Spark Blazing, the enemy will have a state of burning and three curses! If you add a small Xiaoice, it may add a frozen state!

Good guys, if you can really have five negative states at the same time...... Wang Tao is looking forward to the results of the battle.

After the test, Wang Tao took a shower, came to his room, and with a wave of his hand, a large number of high-quality crystal nuclei appeared.

Now that you have successfully awakened three times and have also tested your awakening ability, you will be promoted to the fifth rank next.

Wang Tao immediately began to increase his ability level, but suddenly, Wang Tao was stunned.

"No, I only have three abilities now......"

When Wang Tao was fusing the crystal nucleus, he suddenly remembered that others only need one ability to be promoted to full level, but he is different, he has to raise all four abilities to full level.

But the problem is that he has enough crystal nuclei in his hand, but his Heart of Darkness has one ability fused, and now he only has three abilities...... Can this still be promoted? Wang Tao had a bad premonition.

When he maxed out all three abilities and closed his eyes for a moment, he sighed helplessly.

It's true that he can't be promoted, and he's one ability away......

He had a lot of fourth-order crystal nuclei with abilities, but he didn't want to fuse one at random.

The crystal nucleus after the fourth order, there is one with attributes, such as [Fireball] and [Burst], which can only be used by fire-based awakened people, such abilities are obviously more powerful than ordinary abilities, Wang Tao also wants to fuse this ability, but he does not have a crystal nucleus that he can use for the time being.

If you fuse an ordinary crystal nucleus casually, it will become a fifth-order ability after promotion, and Wang Tao does not have a fifth-order peeling crystal nucleus in his hand to replace it......

Wang Tao was suddenly very entangled, whether to promote to the fifth order first, and then look for the fifth-order attribute crystal nucleus and the fifth-order peeled crystal nucleus, or wait for a while and then be promoted, and find a suitable fourth-order attribute crystal nucleus first......

Ding Yuqin has been by Wang Tao's side, and seeing Wang Tao's entanglement, she thought for a while and said:

"Why don't you wait and then get promoted? Didn't you ask the Starfire Society to buy the Awakening Crystal Nucleus? By the way, buy some attribute crystal nuclei at a high price! There are so many people in our base, there may not be a fifth-order crystal nucleus, but there are always some fourth-order attribute crystal nuclei, right? ”

"It seems like a way to do it......"
