Chapter 365 Verification
Chapter 365 Verification
In just two and a half hours, Cangnian had slaughtered the sea monster horde on the beach.
What pleased Cang Nian the most was that the proficiency of the "Acting as an Auxiliary to the Tiger" skill had increased to two million levels during this round of slaughter!
The skill has a total of ten million levels of proficiency, which made Cang Nian, who was previously daunted by it, hesitate to attempt it.
Especially after evolving to the fourth tier, his size increased dramatically, and there were very few targets that could increase proficiency by directly increasing weight, as his body weight was greater than his own.
In fact, this round of mowing-down-the-grass-style killing resulted in two million skill proficiency levels, which does not mean that Cangnian only killed less than two million evolved creatures.
Because most of them are second-order evolved creatures, some of which are small-sized second-order evolved creatures, weighing only a few hundred kilograms, or even smaller ones, weighing only a few dozen kilograms.
Just like a little sable.
Such a target's weight is less than one-tenth of Cang Nian's own weight, so it won't even provide the minimum of 1 point of skill proficiency.
Fortunately, there are quite a few evolved creatures that meet the criteria during the marine mammal tide.
Moreover, there were several extremely large individuals, similar to the giant shrimp, all weighing over ten tons, leading Cang Nian to suspect they were fourth-order evolved creatures.
However, for Cang Nian, who already knew that these things were inedible, the third and fourth tiers were meaningless.
"Wait... this place shouldn't be far from where the fourth-tier shell was before."
These contaminated evolved creatures, though brainless, are quite fast, and their range of activity should not be limited to a range of one or two hundred kilometers.
In other words, some of them may have come into contact with fourth-order shells.
With the strength of a fourth-tier shell and its blood pearl magic weapon, hunting these creatures should be very easy.
If that's the case, it's highly likely that it has eaten this type of contaminated evolved organism.
But it wasn't contaminated, or at least it didn't pass on the contamination to me by becoming my food.
Does that mean it can solve this pollution problem?
After mowing the lawn for several hours with great gusto, Cang Nian finally had the energy to think more calmly.
After thinking it over, his mind suddenly sparked, and his eyes lit up.
Thinking of this, he swiftly took the little sable into the air!
Whoosh~!
Then, he transformed into a blur and flew towards the northwest of Fugang City!
Having just enjoyed a satisfying battle and with no time to spare, Cangnian leisurely flew for almost an hour before returning to the peninsula region.
Next, he followed the coastline, surveyed the terrain, and finally found the section of coastline suitable for fishing and hunting that corresponded to when he encountered the fourth-order shell.
With a landmark as a reference, Cangnian plunged into the seabed and, relying on his previous impressions, explored along the continental shelf.
After searching for an hour, we finally saw the seabed covered with corpses.
This is naturally the underwater dew graveyard of fourth-order shells.
"It's not very far, the straight-line distance is only about three or four hundred kilometers."
If we consider the activity range of creatures like Big White, then the activity range of fourth-order beings could very well exceed a radius of thousands of kilometers.
When it comes to finding food, there's no need to stubbornly pursue a resource-scarce island nation like Japan.
After mentally estimating the distances to several locations, Cang Nian became even more certain of his guess.
Then he began to carefully examine this underwater graveyard.
Zhizhi~!
After checking for fifteen minutes, the little sable's voice came from the side.
Cang Nian turned his head and saw that the little sable was squatting on a halo of light, pointing with its paw at a corpse not far away.
After several hours of rest, the little sable is no longer weak and can use its powers normally.
Although the little sable's physical body could withstand the pressure of deep water after reaching the fourth rank, it still preferred to enter the deep sea by using a phantom form.
This allows them to make sounds from the seabed without suppressing them.
Cang Nian turned his head to look, and a surge of joy filled his heart!
It was the skeleton of a fish.
But the skeleton of this fish-like creature had four sets of thick leg bones, which looked extremely strange.
And this is not an isolated case.
Around them were some strangely shaped corpses, none of which resembled the skeletal structure of any creature before the spiritual energy revival.
Since the spiritual energy revival began, Cang Nian has seen far too many evolved creatures.
However, almost all evolved organisms are essentially scaled-up versions of each other in terms of body structure.
Compared to before the spiritual energy revival, most evolved creatures have only increased in size, with the only difference being the proportion of aggressive structures.
Just like some cat- and dog-like evolved creatures, the proportion of fangs to skulls increases, and the mouthparts of insects also occupy a larger proportion of the head.
All of this is for the purpose of having stronger combat power and greater competitiveness for survival.
A very small number of creatures, due to their special abilities, undergo tremendous changes in their physical structure after evolution.
For example, the mites that replace their own bodies with other biological structures.
Going back even further, the mutated Zerg created by the Queen is another typical example.
However, these are not the norm, but rather very few isolated cases.
Therefore, there is only one possibility for the large-scale appearance of such skeletal deformities in the remains of evolved organisms!
That's something that spread from Japan!
"If that's the case, then it means that the fourth-order shell really did 'eat' a contaminated evolved creature, but it wasn't contaminated itself."
Its feeding method can only be to extract the essence from these polluted evolved creatures using blood pearls, in the form of blood essence.
Does this mean I can also use this method to utilize the waste of those evolved organisms?
Thinking of this, Cang Nian immediately beamed with joy.
This is fantastic news!
Although I killed so many evolved creatures, the progress bar for the "Accomplice to a Tiger" skill was already one-fifth full, so the trip was worthwhile.
But if there are more benefits, Cang Nian would naturally be happy to do so.
After conducting an on-site investigation and initially verifying his guess, Cangnian couldn't wait any longer and broke through the sea surface, flying south!
Eager to verify his guess, Cangnian, with his little sable, arrived at the destination in just over ten minutes, a distance of 300 kilometers.
Boom~!
Upon seeing the survivor base in Fukang City, Cang Nian collapsed with a deafening roar.
This startled the survivors from the surrounding Cherry Blossom Kingdom.
But when they saw that it was Cang Nian, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
For them, Cang Nian was a benefactor who helped them through their difficulties.
Awe of powerful creatures is an instinct for most living beings.
And the people of Japan, who are known for their cherry blossoms, are a prime example.
Someone from China once commented on the people of Japan: "They fear power but do not cherish virtue."
The Cherry Blossom Kingdom only submits to tyrants, but harbors malicious intentions towards benevolent rulers.
Therefore, throughout history, the Kingdom of Sakura has frequently harassed the Chinese dynasty militarily, and has never given up its wolfish ambitions towards the Chinese nation.
However, in modern times, like South Korea, they have become loyal lackeys of the United States.
Only by breaking a dog's legs can you make it wag its tail and beg for mercy instead of barking and whimpering.
