He turned his head and carefully observed the pile of ashes.
Eh? What was that?
Fang Heng realized that the ashes were moving in a strange way.
He observed patiently and found that the ashes around him seemed to be slowly gathering towards the pile of ashes.
Fang Heng’s heart started to beat faster.
Not dead yet?
That’s right!
Resurrection!
Fang Heng immediately understood!
Resurrection was one of the characteristics of the original devouring body.
It was specifically because of this characteristic that Salvador chose to use the black stone eel to fuse with Molly Ann, wanting to completely revive Molly Ann!
Therefore, the original devouring body was not completely dead yet!
Fang Heng’s breathing unconsciously became heavier, and he patiently stopped to observe.
The surrounding ashes of the original devouring body gathered towards the center at a very slow speed, forming a pile of black ashes in the center. The charred surface of the pile slowly faded to reveal a dark brown color below.
That’s right! It was reviving, even though the revival speed was anomaly slow.
Fang Heng’s pupils contracted.
Then, was there any way for him to kill it and get the reward…
“Whoosh!”
Fang Heng drew his bloodthirst thorn long sword and stabbed it at the pile of ashes.
[Hint: You have dealt 823 damage to the reviving mutated original devouring body. Through the effect of the bloodthirst thorn long sword, you have absorbed 0.3 strength and 411 HP from the mutant.]
The original devouring body was cut in half by the sword. The two halves of the jelly-like dark brown original devouring body began to slowly gather and fuse together.
Fang Heng frowned.
No, it was ineffective.
At the very least, ordinary physical attacks could not kill it completely.
“Then… How about this?”
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and had another idea.
He slowly lifted the bloodthirst thorn and placed it on his palm.
“Chi!!”
The long sword left a wound on his palm, and he slowly reached his hand forward and placed it on the dark brown original devouring body.
Fresh blood dripped down his palm.
“Chi!!!”
The moment the blood touched the original devouring body, the original devouring body started to boil!
A greenish-black smoke rose from the original devouring body!
[Hint: You have dealt 29,123 damage to the resurrected original devouring body.]
It was effective!
The abnormal appearance of the original devouring body and the game hint value were all hinting at this point!
Fang Heng was excited. He cut his healed palm again and controlled the blood to drip down.
“Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi!!”
As the blood continued to corrode the original devouring body, Fang Heng watched as the resurrected mutated original devouring body burned rapidly!
A few seconds later, the original devouring body stopped burning. It left behind a mass of black colloids on the ground.
Suddenly, several lines of game hints appeared on his retina.
[Hint: You have eliminated the mutated original devouring body. As the damage you dealt to the mutated original devouring body did not exceed 10%, you cannot receive the full reward.]
[Hint: The player’s trial score has increased significantly.]
[Hint: You have obtained Tier 3 mutation crystals*2.]
Good!
Fang Heng’s eyes lit up.
Two Tier 3 mutation crystals!
Aside from a large number of Tier 2 mutation crystals, he also needed a total of 10 Tier 3 mutation crystals to level up.
Previously, he had killed Sydney, but he hadn’t received the full reward for killing the original devouring body, so he only had two.
Five more.
What about the others? What else?
Fang Heng’s gaze continued to search the colloid left behind by the original devouring body.
He found it.
After completely killing the resurrecting mutated original devouring body, a thumb-sized pitch-black crystal was left on the colloid.
Fang Heng’s eyes lit up. He picked up the crystal and observed it.
[Hint: Player has obtained an item-mutated original devouring body crystal.]
[Item: Mutated original devouring body crystal.]
Description: If the player’s soul is not controlled after death, a random part of the body will enter an automatic resurrection state after 12 hours (the resurrection state lasts for 30 minutes).]
Description: One-time consumable, effective in the backpack.
“Oh… Not bad, not bad.”
Fang Heng nodded. He was quite satisfied with the treasures dropped by the original devouring body.
After all, it was only the last hit, so the reward was greatly reduced. Otherwise, an SSS-level creature could drop better items.
As for this crystal, its effect was average.
Fang Heng believed that he had a very strong ability to survive. He also had similar resurrection abilities. The Vampire King’s coffin had resurrection effects, and the rebirth device that he had found in the Zombie Apocalypse game could also complete resurrection.
In comparison, the resurrection effect of the original devouring body crystal was not very stable, and the conditions for using it were more stringent.
Fang Heng incurred a debt of a sum of King of Gods’ points for upgrading the crystallized zombies, so he was considering selling the crystal to repay the debt.
After all, the conditions for resurrection were harsh for Fang Heng. Items like this that could revive and save lives could definitely be sold at a high price in the game!
Fang Heng was in a good mood after picking up a free reward. Just as he was about to leave, several lines of game hints flashed by.
[Hint: The player’s current mission-the divided Empire, has changed. Mission triggered-choosing the heir.]
Mission title: Choosing the heir
Mission description: Salvador’s rebellion has caused the Empire’s royal family to fall into chaos. Tang Wu and Tang Mo are both interested in fighting for the heir to the Empire’s royal family. You can choose to pledge allegiance to one of them.
Mission requirement: Choose any heir to the royal family and swear allegiance to him.
[Hint: Your choice has a high probability of leading the game in a different direction. Please choose carefully.]
[Hint: If you betray the Empire again after pledging your loyalty, your Empire reputation will be greatly reduced.]
[Hint: Player, please choose the person you are loyal to among the heirs of the royal family. The heir will receive an additional portion of your Empire reputation.]
[Hint: The player’s current reputation has reached the limit. The player can choose to create a new Empire.]
[Warning: The difficulty of creating a new regime is set as an “impossible mission”. After selecting it, the affinity with all Empire’s feudal lords will be restored to the lowest value and cannot be increased. Later operations such as cooperating with Empire’s feudal lords and persuading them to surrender will not be possible. Please choose carefully.]
Eh?
What did that mean?
Fang Heng frowned and checked the mission description again.
Internal strife in the Empire? To choose a person to rely on, or be independent?
There was less than a week left in the trial, and he still had to complete the trial’s main storyline. The game still wanted him to be independent in such a short period of time?
Independent my ass!
Moreover, it was not easy for him to form friendships with the various feudal lords. He was also preparing to build mage towers all over the world to deal with the abyssal demon.
If his affinity with the Empire’s feudal lords regressed to hatred, how could he continue playing?
But the problem was that it was very easy for problems to arise when one randomly chose a person to pledge allegiance to.
Fang Heng’s gaze quickly swept across the candidates and suddenly saw a familiar name.
Tang Mingyue?
Among all the candidates, Tang Mingyue’s reputation as the heir of the Empire was the lowest.
As a woman, Tang Mingyue was not qualified to be the heir according to the Empire’s tradition, but the game still tacitly acknowledged her royal bloodline.
Who cares!
Fang Heng himself was not very interested in the Empire’s mission. He only chose Tang Mingyue to avoid trouble in the future.
