Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot Chapter 382: 178 Level 3 Weapon_2

Chapter 382: Chapter 178 Level 3 Weapon_2

If attacked, the HP of the Entangling Roots should be deducted first; only after its HP is depleted would the wearer’s own HP be deducted.

However, to use these Entangling Roots, one must increase the patibility, at least to 1% to be able to use it.

The methods to enhance patibility involve either using a Crystal Core or one’s own HP to nourish the weapon. Using a Crystal Core would certainly consume it, while using one’s own HP could leave one in an extremely weakened state…

Wang Tao suddenly thought of the Level 3 Monster he had just killed.

That monster was in a 99% weakened state and also severely low on HP. Could it have been nourishing these Entangling Roots?

If so, then everything seemed to make sense—

Wang Tao had previously doused the Entangling Roots with a lot of gasoline and then set them ablaze. The Entangling Roots were vulnerable to fire, so the flames caused them significant damage. Their HP dropped rapidly.

The monster using the Entangling Roots, seeing its HP continuously dropping, decided to use its own blood to nourish it. The monster might not have been very intelligent, but it was aware enough to protect its possessions.

In fact, the Human-face Tree Body Monster almost succeeded; it saved the Entangling Roots with its HP. Otherwise, the fire might have burned the Entangling Roots to ashes.

But after the flames died out, Wang Tao entered. He had started the fire and was bound to e in to check the situation.

As a result, he found the weakened Entangling Roots and killed them. Then he encountered the monster in an extremely weakened state and killed it too…

If he hadn’t set this fire, not only would he have had to fight the Entangling Roots, but even if he managed to wear them down to near-death over time, he might then have faced a Level 3, Lord Monster in full strength!

Or worse, if the monster had emerged from the protection of the Entangling Roots, the two could have attacked Wang Tao together… and he would have been doomed for sure!

So it could only be said that Wang Tao was really lucky this time. He had avoided a potentially fatal crisis.

Wang Tao, feeling somewhat relieved, took a deep breath and then took the Entangling Roots out of the Space Backpack.

It was a black, withered, twisted root about the size of a palm, utterly ordinary, the sort that one wouldn’t even bother picking up off the ground.

After taking it out of the Space Backpack, its status changed. It had been “Dormant,” but now was “Awakended.”

As Wang Tao held it, he could faintly sense a very weak… consciousness?

He wasn’t entirely sure, but he felt like if he just called out to it, it would awaken.

So, Wang Tao mentally whispered, “Awake.”

But there was no response.

“Oh right, I almost forgot, the patibility is still at 0%…”

Wang Tao quickly took out a Level 1 Crystal Core. Then he mentally whispered again: “Awake.”

As soon as the thought arose, he saw the piece of root slowly wriggle and gradually envelop the Crystal Core.

Then, the root began to grow rapidly, as if it was under the effect of a time acceleration spell.

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue by his side both widened their eyes in amazement.

Seconds later, the roots had entirely wrapped around Wang Tao. With only his head exposed, they formed a full body armor posed of roots!

Wang Tao moved his arms slightly, and the roots moved with him, barely impacting his agility.

Wang Tao felt like he was connected to a very weak and simple consciousness. He thought to himself: cover the face. And the roots around him rippled, covering his face!

“It’s kind of magical!”

Wang Tao’s muffled voice came from within the root armor.

Xu Xiaojun hadn’t been paying attention, but he jumped when he heard Wang Tao’s voice and glanced in the rearview mirror.

How had Wang Tao turned into a monster!

“Brother, Brother Wang?”

Xu Xiaojun called out nervously.

Then he saw the “monster’s” face roots wriggle, revealing Wang Tao’s handsome face.

“Haha, Little Jun, what do you think of my new equipment?” Wang Tao laughed.

“Phew… Brother Wang, it’s good to see you’re okay!”

Xu Xiaojun let out a sigh of relief before staring in awe at Wang Tao in the rearview mirror.

“Brother Wang, this equipment of yours is too badass! I almost mistook you for a monster, the presence was too overpowering!”

“Haha, then stop the car, I’ll get out and take a look.”

“Alright!”

Xu Xiaojun quickly stopped the car.

As Wang Tao opened the door and stepped out, the root armor started to move again. Soon enough, in the faint starlight, a towering figure, two and a half meters tall, appeared in front of Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue.

Xu Xiaojun, who was originally taller and burlier than Wang Tao, now had to look up slightly.

As for Jiang Shixue, standing at one meter sixty, she had to crane her neck.

“This feeling… it’s pretty awesome!”

Wang Tao clenched his fists, feeling the clear power enhancement the Entangling Roots provided.

Wang Tao glanced at his attributes.

[HP: 29999/29999 (10000/10000)]

Now, he was effectively at forty thousand HP!

Wang Tao looked at the Entangling Roots again.

[Level 3 Weapon · Entangling Roots]

[HP: 10000/10000]

[Status: Awake]

[Enhancement: HP, Attack, Defense (Weakness: Vulnerable to Fire)]

[patibility: 1%]

The HP remained unchanged, and the patibility had increased by only 1%… But after all, this was a Level 3 Weapon, and he had used a Level 1 Crystal Core, so a 1% increase in patibility felt pretty good.
