Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1190 - 488 Explosive Mushrooms

Chapter 1190: Chapter 488: Explosive Mushrooms

Chapter 1190 -488: Explosive Mushrooms

Cheng Yiyi and the others had not awakened for a while, so Wang Tao decided to check the spoils of war first.

There were a total of 4 physical items and 5 Loot Packs from the Red Mushroom.

[Obtained: Fifth Order Crystal Core – Psychic Attack Rebound x1]

[Obtained: Awakening Key x1]

[Obtained: Hallucinogenic Red Mushroom x1]

[Obtained: Reality Illusion Pearl x1]

When Wang Tao saw this mutant monster, he guessed it likely had a psychic Ability, since it also controlled illusions. Now it seemed his guess was right.

This “Psychic Attack Rebound” Crystal Core had also been obtained by Wang Tao before, but only Psychic Awakeners could integrate it.

[Fifth Order Crystal Core – Psychic Attack Rebound]

[Quality: 100% (Epic)]

[Purity: 30% (Side effect: lowered defensive power)]

[Psychic Attack Rebound: Passive Ability, small chance to rebound double the damage when hit by a mental attack (If the rebound is triggered, it will consume Awakening Energy, without which the rebound cannot be triggered. Only Psychic Awakeners can use this)]

Wang Tao was a Psychic Awakener, hence he could integrate this core. However, the side effects were significant, and the rebound was a low probability event. Moreover, Wang Tao hadn’t encountered many formidable psychic enemies… So, the cost-effectiveness of integrating this core was very low.

After all, he only had one slot left for his Ability, and he still wanted to integrate the [Omnipotent Shield], so he decided to pass on this [Psychic Attack Rebound]…

Wang Tao then looked at the next item, the Hallucinogenic Red Mushroom.

[Hallucinogenic Red Mushroom: Crafting Material]

The entire body of the monster was the Hallucinogenic Red Mushroom.

“The whole body is a crafting material?”

This was the first time Wang Tao had encountered such a situation.

He patted Lightning’s head, since it was a crafting material, he couldn’t feed it to Lightning.

As for the last item, the Reality Illusion Pearl, it was also something Wang Tao had obtained before.

[Reality Illusion Pearl: Contains some spiritual power, can be integrated. If one’s own spiritual power is higher than the Reality Illusion Pearl’s, a Hidden Ability can be obtained. If lower, one will be trapped in a True Illusion forever]

He had given the Reality Illusion Pearl to Yang Changhong, who had successfully integrated it and awakened a very decent psychic attack Ability.

This pearl was a valuable item, worth keeping for their potential Secondary Awakening.

Wang Tao stored these items and then looked at the Loot Packs.

The first Crystal Core Gift Bag contained 5 Crystal Cores, which were a Red [Level 5 Crystal Core – Promotion], an Orange [Level 5 Crystal Core – Omnipotence], a Red [Level 5 Crystal Core – Awakening], a Blue [Level 5 Crystal Core – Mental Enhancement], and a Purple [Level 5 Crystal Core – Mental Defense].

Seeing these Crystal Cores, Wang Tao realized why the Red Mushroom had been taking hits without fighting back—it indeed lacked any attack Ability.

The second Loot Pack contained potions.

[Obtained: Antidote Potion x50]

[Obtained: Illusion-Breaking Potion x50]

“Eh?”

Besides the Antidote Potion, there was an Illusion-Breaking Potion that Wang Tao had never seen before.

[Illusion-Breaking Potion: capable of breaking most illusions]

“This potion is great!”

Seeing the description, Wang Tao quickly grinned.

With this potion, facing enemies like the Red Mushroom would be much easier.

However, to break an illusion, one prerequisite was necessary: the person in the illusion had to know they were trapped and actively take the medicine.

If they were like Cheng Yiyi, who didn’t realize they had been ensnared and were still frantically attacking what they thought was their target, then no amount of potions would help…

The third and fourth Loot Packs contained a Secret Key and an Energy bead, respectively.

[Obtained: Awakening Key x1]

[Obtained: Awakening Energy Pearl x1]

The last Loot Pack naturally contained the Blueprints.

[Obtained: Explosive Red Mushroom Blueprint x1]

[Explosive Red Mushroom Blueprints: can be used to create an explosive mushroom, needed materials: Hallucinogenic Red Mushroom x1, Level 5 Crystal Core x1]

[Explosive Red Mushroom: Attributes unknown]

“Hmm?”

Seeing the description of the blueprint, Wang Tao suddenly thought of the [Explosive Heart] he had obtained and used from the treasure chest… these seemed like similar items!

Wang Tao immediately started crafting.

Moments later, a fist-sized, strikingly red mushroom appeared in Wang Tao’s hands.

[Explosive Red Mushroom]

[Fifth-Rank (Epic)]

[Durability+1, activates after 30 seconds and explodes, creating illusions (activation requires Awakening Energy)]

Just as Wang Tao had guessed, this [Explosive Red Mushroom] was a one-time weapon similar to [Explosive Heart], with only 1 point of durability.

However, unlike the Exploding Heart, this Explosive Red Mushroom didn’t add any attack power. But after exploding, it would trap all living beings within range in an illusion!

Wang Tao had experienced the Red Mushroom’s illusions and couldn’t tell reality from falsehood. If he couldn’t see the blood bar, he might also have a chance to break the illusion, since his spiritual power was not low, but it would definitely be troublesome…

If the illusions created by this Explosive Red Mushroom could be similar to those of the Red Mushroom, then it would be impressive, possibly incapacitating beings of Level 5 and below from easily breaking free!

Although Wang Tao preferred weapons like the [Explosive Heart] that could cause direct damage, he felt that creating illusions was indirectly effective. But he wasn’t picky, having it was good enough. It would be another ace up his sleeve.

After organizing all the spoils of war, Cheng Yiyi and the others had still not woken up. If it weren’t for seeing their blood bar still quite healthy, with only a [Comatose] status, Wang Tao would have doubted whether they were going to perish.
