Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1193 - 489 Splitting Cloak_2

Chapter 1193 -489: Splitting Cloak_2
Despite the mutated plants, which had split, still having 300,000 HP, their defensive power was clearly not as strong as the original’s. Plus, they weren’t particularly fast…
Wang Tao immediately grinned; this seemed to pose no threat to him at all!
Whoosh—
Wang Tao’s body instantly ignited, wielding the Flame Spear, he charged straight into the tide of mutated moss.

[Curse: Blindness]
[-42823]
[Curse: Armor Break]

Moments later, a large number of the split mutated mosses had died. This monster clearly couldn’t hold up anymore, as the moss suddenly recombined together.
A giant covered in moss appeared before Wang Tao’s eyes.
This “Moss Giant” looked just as intimidating, but it only had 100,000 HP left.
Without any hesitation, Wang Tao transformed into a shooting star and rushed towards the Moss Giant.

[Curse: Weakness]
[-23744]
[Curse: Poisoning]
[…]
[0/300000]
A few seconds later, the Moss Giant fell to the ground with a thud.
“That’s it?”
The flames on Wang Tao slowly disappeared as he smacked his lips, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
The process of killing the mutated moss might not have been the easiest, but it was definitely the most thrilling.
After all, who doesn’t love “mowing down” things? Once these mosses had split, they were pretty much just grass, ready for Wang Tao to cut down!
Wang Tao even gave up on defending because his weapon had a Blood Sucking Ability, and the attack damage by these mutated mosses on him was less than what he could absorb. If it wasn’t for the limit on his HP, Wang Tao suspected that with one stab, he could probably absorb millions of HP! There were just too many of these mosses!
Therefore, Wang Tao remained at full HP while facing these split mosses.
It was just that he hadn’t enjoyed himself enough when the mutated mosses recombined into a Moss Giant.
While Wang Tao preferred hunting the smaller mosses, the Moss Giant was fine too. It’s just a shame that the mutated mosses had too little HP; just a few hits and Wang Tao had slain it…
Wang Tao’s previous battles, although many were also unhurt, were the result of deliberate avoidance. Unlike today, he completely abandoned defense and focused only on offense! And yet, he remained at full HP…
That’s why Wang Tao found this battle so exhilarating; it felt like playing a lawn-mowing game.
The only pity was that these mosses had too little HP! Not enough to kill, nowhere near enough!
After sheathing his spear, Wang Tao checked the spoils of war.
The mutated moss dropped a total of 3 physical loot items and 4 Loot Packs, which was relatively few.
[Obtained: Level 5 Crystal Core·Nutrient Absorption x1]
[Obtained: Dark Red Leaf x1]
[Obtained: Awakening Energy Pearl x1]
This monster had a “Nutrient Absorption” ability for slow blood regeneration?
Wang Tao hadn’t really noticed because the damage he inflicted was too high; even a slow blood regeneration ability wouldn’t be noticeable.
[Dark Red Leaf] was a Level 5 crafting material that looked like a very small leaf; it was unclear what could be made with it.
The final Awakening Energy Pearl was something he had seen before, too bad there was no physical awakening key…
Wang Tao turned to the Loot Packs.
Inside the first Crystal Core Gift Bag were five Crystal Cores—Orange [Level 5 Crystal Core: Ascension], Red [Level 5 Crystal Core: Omnipotence], Purple [Level 5 Crystal Core: Awakening], Blue [Level 5 Crystal Core: Mental Defense], and White [Level 5 Crystal Core: Great Strength].
“There’s actually a White Crystal Core, my luck isn’t great today…”
Having slain so many Lord Monsters, it had been a long time since Wang Tao had a White Crystal Core drop.
The second Loot Pack contained potions.
[Acquired: Antidote Potion x50]
Wang Tao already had plenty of antidote potions in his possession, more than he could ever use up.
The third Loot Pack contained something that seemed like a seed.
[Acquired: Corrosive Moss Seed x1]
Seeing this item, Wang Tao’s eyes lit up. The seeds he had previously found all had Hidden Attributes, like the [Miraculous Seeds].
But after reading the description below, he realized that wasn’t the case with this one—it was a “true· seed”.
[Corrosive Moss Seed: After planting, it will grow a patch of Corrosive Moss]
Wang Tao guessed that the Mutated Plant he just killed might have been the Corrosive Moss. Just from the name, it was clear that this was a type of Mutated Plant with corrosive toxins.
However, at that time, Wang Tao was engulfed in flames, and in such a state, most poisons were ineffective against him, so he didn’t realize that the moss was toxic…
“I just don’t know if this seed could grow into a Level 5 Lord Corrosive Moss…”
If it could grow into a Level 5 Lord, it would be of use to Wang Tao. If not, it wouldn’t be of much use… But then again, do moss have seeds? Wang Tao remembered that they seemed to reproduce through spores.
Shaking his head, he decided to plant it and see when he got out. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Wang Tao looked toward the last Loot Pack.
[Acquired: Splitting Cloak Blueprint x1]
[Splitting Cloak Blueprint: Allows crafting of a cloak, required materials: Level 5 Crystal Core x1, Dark Red Leaf x1, Iron Block x10, Nails x10, Rubber x10, Screw x10, Steel Wire x10]
“A cloak Blueprint?”
Wang Tao had never seen a cloak-type Equipment before, and without hesitation, he immediately began crafting.
After a burst of rainbow light, a dark red cloak appeared in Wang Tao’s hand.
[Splitting Cloak]
[Fifth-Order (Epic)]
[Durability +200, Defense +50, Ability: Splitting Defense (requires Awakening Energy for activation)]
The cloak’s added Attributes were quite simple, only Durability and Defense.
200 Durability was pretty good, indicating that under normal circumstances, it couldn’t wear out quickly. As for Defense, the boost was not significant, only 50 points.
However, considering this was a brand new piece of Equipment, the 50 Defense points were added on top of what Wang Tao was already wearing, so it was still quite good.
The highlight of this cloak, however, was the Ability that came with it.
[Splitting Defense: The cloak splits and enlarges; +500 Defense, duration depends on the Awakening Energy]
“Hisss—500 Defense!”
Wang Tao had just thought that 50 points of Defense weren’t much, but the Ability inherent to the cloak jumped straight to 500 Defense!
The strongest Defense Equipment he had seen so far was the [Giant Wood Shield], which had a whopping 400 Defense. But the Shield was too big, simply unmanageable by an average human and was presently collecting dust.
This cloak was different; the 500 Defense was something he could actually use!
Although it cost Awakening Energy, it was much better than the Giant Wood Shield which was “all show and no go.”
Wang Tao immediately donned the cloak on himself.
The Splitting Cloak was a dark red, nearly indistinguishable from black in this environment. Wang Tao thought it looked quite handsome.
Then, he took out his Weapons to make some moves and found that the cloak fluttered without wind, absolutely not affecting his combat!
“Not bad, not bad!”
Wang Tao nodded in satisfaction and activated the cloak’s inbuilt Ability with 1 point of Awakening Energy, effectively binding it to himself. Then, he silently used Splitting Defense.
Swipe—
The cloak behind him suddenly enlarged, turning into a bowl turned upside down and quickly covering both Wang Tao and the surrounding rocks!
He couldn’t test exactly how strong the Defense was, but Wang Tao checked the Energy consumption.
The size of the cloak could be adjusted; Wang Tao had used its largest state, which could probably envelop hundreds of people. The consumption of Awakening Energy was… 10 points per second!
“This consumption… it’s almost like the Awakening itself!”
Wang Tao was amazed.
However, on the other hand, this Ability was comparable to a defensive type of Awakening!
Compared to Awakening, the only difference was that it had no potential for growth. But with the current Attributes, it was definitely enough!
