Chapter 34 Hunting and Promotion

The flowing sticky blood has completely dyed the transport platform red. The roars of monsters, the screams of chain swords, the sounds of saw teeth cutting flesh and bones, and the roar of the transport vehicle’s engine continue to echo.

“Crazy! It’s crazy!”

Although Alba kept cursing, he actually knew clearly that Li Nanke was not crazy, and was even calmer than anyone else.

He glanced at the carrier platform behind him that had completely turned into purgatory. Seeing that enough monsters had jumped on it, he stepped on the accelerator hard as planned and sped away.

The fast-moving transport vehicle can use guerrilla warfare to attract monsters to jump onto the transport platform. When the number of monsters gathered is large enough, the transport vehicle can quickly leave the area and shake off other monsters chasing it outside the vehicle.

That wide carrying platform is the best place for fighting.

The only thing to worry about was the aggregated deformed monsters. Alba had the experience from last time. When he heard the dull footsteps from afar, he immediately turned around and drove into the fork in the mine road, changing the route to continue attracting monsters.

Alba had already forgotten how many monsters Li Nanke had killed. He could see that this guy was obviously deliberately hunting large numbers of monsters.

At first he didn’t understand the purpose of this crazy behavior, but as the number of hunts increased, he gradually understood.

At the beginning, Li Nanke was injured because of the siege of many monsters, but as the number of hunts increased, he became more and more at ease.

Moreover, Li Nanke asked him to gather more and more monsters each time, and even the speed of hunting monsters was faster and faster…

Li Nanke is becoming stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye by hunting monsters again and again!

Alba envied this supernatural power a little, but he knew that if it were him, he would probably be torn into pieces by the crazy monsters in no time.

Supernatural power is just a powerful tool, and it depends on who uses it. He asked himself if he could be hit by the monster’s bone blade and then chop off the monster’s head without making a sound. He also asked himself if he would have the courage to risk his life when facing a large monster.

It takes tremendous courage just to take a glance at the bloody and brutal fight on the platform behind you.

He followed the plan meticulously, providing Li Nanke with hunting opportunities, and was also happy to see the people he was protecting become increasingly powerful.

Why think so much? Just hug your thigh and run away!
Not long after, the fighting on the platform behind him fell silent again, leaving only the man’s heavy breathing.

Alba was about to slow down and turn around to attract the next batch of monsters when he heard Li Nanke say, “Let’s go, it’s almost time, keep going.”

Alba was stunned: “Is it over like this?”

He asked, but his hands had already executed what Li Nanke said, stepping on the accelerator and continuing to move forward.

Li Nanke leaned back in the cab to take a rest, with the chainsword leaning against his side. The serrated blade was covered in blood, minced meat and hair. It was truly a naked killing weapon.

The long battle made him feel a little tired even with the blessing of the main substance “deep sea”.

With the large-scale hunting of aberrations, a large amount of source energy was also obtained. However, just like the last time the dream was guided, the source energy obtained from killing ordinary monsters was not constant, but gradually decreased as the number of kills increased.

Now that he has gained enough benefits, it is not wise to waste time here. He has more important things to do.

Li Nanke put his thoughts into the spiritual world.

The human trait ‘Armament’ has been upgraded from level 3 to the full level 10, and the main quality ‘Deep Sea’ has also reached level 7 with a large amount of source energy infusion. Whether it is a trait or a main quality, the higher the level, the more source energy is required, especially in the process of upgrading from level 9 to level 10 to comprehend the ultimate ability.

The main quality is the biggest consumer of source energy. The source energy of a main quality when fully upgraded is several times that of a special quality.

Therefore, Li Nanke first filled up the ‘Armament’ which was easier to upgrade. The ultimate ability obtained after this trait reached the maximum level – proficiency in most melee weapons, was better than nothing for him.

Mainly, the benefits of the ‘Armed’ trait in enhancing the power of melee weapons are considerable.

After the armed trait reaches the maximum level, if he encounters a thick-skinned monster like the Berserker again, as long as he creates a perfect attack opportunity, he is confident that he can behead it with one sword!
After the deep sea was upgraded to level 7, the muscle fibers, nerve reaction speed, and internal organs’ stress resistance of the whole body were greatly improved.

Li Nanke leaned against the back of the cab to rest. The slow-twitch muscle fibers in his body have strong oxidation capacity. Through the enhancement of the main substance ‘deep sea’, the clearance rate of lactic acid was further increased, reducing the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles, thereby relieving fatigue.

Another major cause of body fatigue is the consumption of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). As the most direct source of energy in the body, ATP is replenished daily by consuming a high-carbohydrate diet, converting food into glycogen reserves in the muscles, and then converting it into adenosine triphosphate during strenuous exercise.

The source energy seems to be an extremely advanced energy, which can not only directly enhance various main qualities, but also participate in the body’s metabolism and energy supply when accumulated in the “self”, so that there is no hunger caused by excessive physical consumption even after a long period of fierce fighting.

“So, I don’t need to eat in my dreams, and I won’t feel hungry…”

Thanks to the lifting of the main material “Deep Sea”, when the transport vehicle drove to the large freight elevator in the center of the mine, Li Nanke had almost recovered.

Just take the freight elevator and you can go directly to the ground and escape from the deep pit prison.

Alba was about to slow down and stop the car, but he heard Li Nanke say, “Keep driving, we’re going deeper into the mine.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Don’t ask any more questions. Just listen to me if you want to live.”

Alba looked at the escape exit which was just around the corner and felt unwilling. He could obviously escape from the prison, but Li Nanke asked him to go deeper.

He really wanted to get out of the car and run away alone, but he didn’t have the courage.

The external ground environment of this planet is extremely harsh, and judging from the new tire marks left in front of the large freight elevator, it is obvious that some of the death row prisoners removed their dog ties and escaped in the freight elevator.

If he escaped alone, he might be in danger of his life.

Instead of running away, continuing to follow Li Nanke is the option with the greatest chance of survival. Moreover, the transport vehicle is speeding all the way, and there are no monsters in the second half of the mine tunnel. If they continue to go deeper into the mine without any prisoners, it is impossible for a few monsters to appear for no reason.

With this thought in mind, Alba could only look at the large freight elevator reluctantly and continue driving deeper into the mine.

After the last guided dream, Li Nanke understood that simply completing the key nodes and final nodes given by the Great Other Shore would not bring the maximum benefit.

If you want to get the most benefits, the best solution is to deeply explore the hidden nodes lurking in the forbidden dream.

And the strange stone tablet dug out by the prisoners deep in the mine must be the hidden node!
