Chapter 336: Chapter 312: A Real Jackpot! A Pack of Mutated Beast King Cubs

Lu Feng tossed Li Lin’s body to the ground, eagerly stowing the items he’d dropped into his backpack space.

He had hoped that Li Lin’s Summoning Beast ability would drop, but he never actually expected that killing him would yield any items.

He immediately looked at the two items in his backpack space:

[This is a special Ability Crystal Stone (Summoned Beast). Using it grants the Summoning Beast ability. This ability allows you to defeat Summoned Beasts and then use a special Spiritual Power to form a connection with them and bring them under your control.

Restriction: You can only control Summoned Beasts weaker than yourself, or those whose will has become extremely weak!]

Lu Feng’s eyes lit up when he saw this information.

’When your luck is in, you really get whatever you wish for.’

’I said I wanted his ability to drop, and it actually dropped.’

Moreover, the description also explained how to use this ability to control Mutant Beasts. For those weaker than him, it went without saying; he could just crush them with his Spiritual Power.

It was naturally impossible to control stronger ones. If you tried, they’d just swallow you whole first.

However, it wasn’t completely impossible. If you could beat them to within an inch of their life, their will would weaken, and they could be controlled.

For Lu Feng, none of this was a problem.

[This is a special Beast Crystal Fruit. It is a fruit grown from a special plant. Their growth cycle is extremely long, and finding one is a great stroke of luck.

Once this Beast Crystal Fruit ripens, it will attract many Mutant Beasts to fight over it, because consuming it allows a Mutant Beast to become a special Beast King.

Special Effect: When consumed by a Summoning Beast Ability User, it not only allows them to break through to the second-stage ability unlock, but also increases the number of Summoned Beasts they can control.]

Seeing this description, Lu Feng now roughly understood why Li Lin had managed to break through to the second-stage ability unlock. It was because of this Beast Crystal Fruit.

More importantly, it seemed that, just like in a game, the number of Summoned Beasts one could control was limited.

The reason Li Lin could control so many Mutant Beasts wasn’t because he had reached the second-stage ability unlock, but because of this Beast Crystal Fruit.

’Clearly, both items Li Lin dropped are amazing.’

’Who knows what price the Li Family paid for these two items, and now they’ve all dropped for me to take.’

With Li Lin dead, all the Mutant Beasts had scattered and fled.

The members of the Li Family fell into a complete panic.

Li Sheng, in particular, had lost all will to fight; his only thought was to get away.

Unfortunately, the Wang Cheng he faced didn’t just have Mecha weapons; he also possessed two abilities, both speed-types. When Wang Cheng activated both abilities at once, Li Sheng was completely stunned.

Li Sheng had focused all his attention on Lu Feng, assuming Wang Cheng’s only asset was his Mecha weapons.

Thus, when he activated his two speed abilities, Wang Cheng’s speed reached an extreme. He appeared before Li Sheng in an instant, his two mechanical arms clamping down on Li Sheng’s shoulders.

At that moment, Li Sheng had no chance of escape.

Countless laser emitters instantly extended from the Mecha weapons on Wang Cheng’s body.

"Your time is up!"

The next moment, laser beams lanced into Li Sheng, leaving a series of gruesome wounds.

"Why...?" Li Sheng’s mouth was full of blood, his face a mask of confusion in his final moments. "You’re clearly a monster with four abilities... why pretend to submit to our Li Family? Were you just toying with us?"

As his words faded, Li Sheng’s body went limp, and he resentfully became just another corpse.

At this, the remaining Li Family members were scared out of their wits and tried to flee. But how could they possibly escape from an ability user who had unlocked their second stage?

Lu Feng activated his second-stage unlocked speed ability, turning into an afterimage as he charged toward the Li Family members. Paired with his Beastification ability, also at a second-stage unlock like Cang Hu’s, he could kill the Li Family’s ability users with a single, effortless blow.

There were no powerful experts left among the remaining Li Family ability users.

As Lu Feng cut them down, the rest of the Li Family members were surrounded and eliminated by the forces of the East Suburb Fortress, until the very last one had fallen.

In contrast, on the side of the East Suburb Fortress, aside from a few serious injuries, there hadn’t been a single death.

Lin Jiao went to check on them and came back to report, "Boss, these seriously injured men need to be sent back for treatment immediately. Otherwise, I’m afraid they’ll bleed to death."

With a single thought, Lu Feng pulled half a bottle of Life Potion from his backpack space and handed it to Lin Jiao. "Give a little to each of them!"

A look of joy spread across Lin Jiao’s face when she saw the Life Potion.

She knew, of course, that her boss had a special potion with incredibly powerful healing effects. As long as you weren’t already dead, it could fix any injury.

She immediately took the Life Potion to the four seriously injured people and gave each of them some. A moment later, they stood up, as good as new.

Everyone who had never seen a Life Potion before stared with wide, shocked eyes, looking in utter disbelief at the potion in Lin Jiao’s hand.

’Something like this actually exists?’

Naturally, the existence of the Life Potion gave the people from the East Suburb Fortress a greater sense of security.

’With this stuff, even if we get injured in a fight, we probably won’t die.’

Lin Jiao handed the half-full bottle of Life Potion back to Lu Feng.

’Something this precious must be returned to the boss immediately.’

Lu Feng waved his hand. "You keep it. In the future, if anyone gets seriously injured and I’m not here, use it to treat them."

This was the first Life Potion he had ever obtained, and after his previous uses, only half of it was left.

He had plenty of Life Potions in his backpack space now, so he didn’t really care about this half-bottle anymore.

So, he entrusted the half-bottle to Lin Jiao for emergencies. In this apocalyptic world, his people would inevitably get injured.

Lin Jiao never imagined her boss would entrust something so valuable to her, and a wave of warmth spread through her heart. It felt good to be trusted by him.

As the battle here concluded, a figure watched from atop a distant building.

It was none other than Wang Sheng of the Flame Emperor’s Mansion.

He had, of course, come to observe the outcome, but the result of the battle between the Li Family and the East Suburb Fortress left him stunned.

’The entire Li Family force was annihilated.’

Now he understood why the Flame Emperor said the Li Family was courting death. The people from this East Suburb Fortress were truly terrifying.

’A dual-ability user. Mecha weapons. A user with four abilities.’

’It’s simply unbelievable.’

’To think such a monstrous prodigy exists in this world.’

He didn’t dare linger and hurried back to the City East Alliance. He entered the Flame Emperor’s Mansion and found the Flame Emperor.

"The Li Family lost?" the Flame Emperor asked as soon as he saw him.

Wang Sheng nodded. "The Li Family is finished. The force Li Sheng led was completely wiped out. Flame Emperor, did you already know the East Suburb Fortress had a dual-ability user, as well as a four-ability user?"

"What? A four-ability user?" The Flame Emperor shot to his feet as if he’d seen a ghost. He stared at Wang Sheng in utter disbelief and demanded, "Explain."

Wang Sheng froze for a moment at the Flame Emperor’s reaction; he had assumed the Flame Emperor was already aware of the situation.

Not daring to hide anything, he immediately began to explain to the Flame Emperor.

After hearing Wang Sheng’s report, the Flame Emperor said in astonishment, "A dual-ability user, I can believe that." As he spoke, he raised his hands. A ball of scarlet flame materialized in his left palm and a ball of blue flame in his right, with special runes swirling within each.

Clearly, the Flame Emperor was also a dual-ability user, and both of his abilities were related to fire.

But his face was still filled with shock. "A four-ability user... a four-ability user... For such a monstrous prodigy to exist among the human survivors... This might actually be good news. After all, our investigations show that the zombies and Mutant Beasts are getting stronger and stronger. Humanity producing a prodigy like this helps balance the scales a bit."

Wang Sheng frowned. "Flame Emperor, since the East Suburb Fortress has this kind of strength, shouldn’t we do something about it?"

"Do something? Why should we do anything?" the Flame Emperor countered.

Wang Sheng was stunned by the question. ’Did he even need to ask?’

’A force like the East Suburb Fortress could get out of control.’

But the Flame Emperor’s meaning was clear: he had no intention of doing anything at all.

「On the Zhuangyuan District battlefield.」

The people from Qingfeng Base had already begun to handle the corpses of the Li Family members.

Just then, Lu Feng was astonished to see a group of small creatures yelping and rushing toward him.

They were all Mutated Beast King cubs.

And there were quite a few of them.

It looked like they were being herded over by Jinwen and Xiaoshi.
