Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 842 - 329: Cave Harvest_2
So Wang Tao now has an HP limit of 150,000.
And the effect of the "Withered Life Grass" is almost the same as the "Life Elixir (Small)," both increase HP by 1000, up to a maximum of 10,000 HP. But this withered life grass has a different name than the potion, so it should be possible to use it repeatedly!
Wang Tao immediately picked up a blade of grass and chewed it in his mouth.
This withered life grass looked quite yellow and dry, feeling like fodder for cattle, but once it was in his mouth, just like a Fusion Crystal Core, it quickly melted away into his limbs and bones.
A moment later, Wang Tao found his HP limit had increased by 1000, now at 151,000.
"Indeed, it works!"
Wang Tao explained to Jiang Shixue and the others, then distributed the withered life grass for them to consume.
After a while, Wang Tao had consumed another nine blades, and his HP limit reached 160,000!
The others had their HP increased to 120,000!
Moreover, Wang Tao found that this stuff was effective for Jiang Shixue and Lightning too. They could not merge with Crystal Cores, so they had always been at 100,000 HP, but now they had reached 110,000.
Although one couldn’t visually see the increase in HP, the improvement in their physique was quite evident and exhilarating. Smiles were brimming on their faces, after all, nothing was more exhilarating than the enhancement of their own strength.
"I really didn’t expect the Giant Serpent Cave to have so many good things! It seems that if we encounter such creatures again in the future, we need to carefully loot their lairs after killing them..."
Wang Tao silently thought to himself.
...
When night fell, Wei Zhenguo and the others had set up tents in the cave at the foot of the mountain.
The deeper parts of the Giant Serpent Cave had collapsed, but the closer to the outside, the more intact the cave was. It was naturally sufficient for them to set up a few tents.
Wang Tao arranged for people to take turns on watch, ensuring safety through the night. Then he entered Lan Yulian’s tent.
There was no other implication, he just wanted to replenish Lan Yulian’s mana. After all, Lan Yulian had exhausted all her mana today, and if she lacked mana, it was not a good thing for the team.
After some effort, Lan Yulian’s mana was finally replenished.
She lay in Wang Tao’s arms, her face flushed, gazing at Wang Tao with a resentful look.
There were other tents around theirs, and to avoid making any odd noises, Lan Yulian had a rather hard time.
Wang Tao kissed Lan Yulian’s forehead, then gently patted her back.
"Go to sleep."
Lan Yulian glared at Wang Tao fiercely, then curled up in his arms and soon fell asleep.
Wang Tao couldn’t sleep just yet; a key appeared in his hand.
An Advanced Awakening Secret Key!
He had previously exchanged two ordinary physical awakening keys for this Advanced Awakening Secret Key from Cheng Yiyi.
Wang Tao wanted to undergo a second awakening, for which he needed two Awakening Keys. If he used ordinary keys, then there was a 40% success rate.
Based on this success rate alone, it wasn’t impossible to take the chance. But the problem was, if he lost the gamble, then Wang Tao would need three Awakening Keys to continue awakening, and the success rate would drop to 30%! That was definitely an unwise bet for Wang Tao.
He had obtained an Advanced Awakening Key by killing the Giant Serpent today, but he only had one, and he needed two, so he naturally set his sights on the Solid Advanced Awakening Key.
Everyone wanted this Key, and Wang Tao could have fought for it if he had insisted, given his significant contributions. But this key belonged to everyone, and he would definitely need to compensate the others later. The compensation was tolerable; it was owing a favor he did not want.
Wang Tao wasn’t afraid to spend money, but he did not like to owe favors.
So he let Cheng Yiyi have the items, then sought to trade her for two Ordinary secret keys. In this way, he wouldn’t have to spend money or owe anyone a favor, but instead, Cheng Yiyi would not only have to pay him but would also owe him a favor...
To Cheng Yiyi, surely fusing one Advanced Awakening Secret Key would be more secure. But after all, it was only one secret key, whereas Wang Tao was prepared to trade her two Ordinary Awakening Secret Keys!
In the end, she couldn’t resist the temptation and agreed to trade her Advanced Awakening Secret Key for the two Ordinary Awakening Secret Keys that Wang Tao had.
She decided to take a gamble: with a 50% success rate, one of the two keys should lead to an awakening. If she could awaken one, it wouldn’t be a loss, and if both awakened, that would be a huge gain!
Of course, just having secret keys wasn’t enough to awaken, one also needed Hidden Attributes. She didn’t have any Hidden Attributes, and although the Snake Bead could add one, there was only one of those. So, if she wanted to take a chance on two Awakeners emerging, she would also need something that could grant Hidden Attributes. Thus, Wang Tao’s Strange Poison Sac was bought by her.
The Strange Poison Sac had a one in three chance to grant Hidden Attributes. Although this probability was worth a shot, there was also a one in three chance of Poisoning, which is why Wang Tao didn’t want to use it on his own people. Since Cheng Yiyi wanted to buy it, Wang Tao sold it to her at a friendly price. Not too expensive; he only charged 500,000 Crystal Coins.

After all, it wasn’t a guaranteed way to obtain Hidden Attributes, and most importantly, there was a certain risk involved, so the price would definitely not be too high.
As for the specific price of the Snake Bead... Cheng Yiyi couldn’t give a definitive answer yet. She said she would discuss it thoroughly and then give a reasonable price, ensuring they wouldn’t be disappointed.
The Legion had a good reputation, and everyone tended to trust them, so all they had to do was wait for Cheng Yiyi’s news...
Wang Tao immediately fused the Advanced Secret Key.
Before long, he felt that a very bright "Light Point" had been added to his body—these secret keys appeared as individual light points within him. Ordinary secret keys weren’t as bright as those of Advanced Secret Keys, making them easy to distinguish.
Wang Tao really wanted to start his Second Awakening right away. His luck had always been good, and with a 70% probability, he should be successful. However, since he was currently in the wilderness and awakening required 24 hours of sleep, it was too unsafe, so it was better to go back and do it.
A night without incident.
The first thing Wang Tao did upon waking up was to check on that Awakening Seed.
Wang Tao was extremely curious about the [Awakening Fruit] that the Awakening Seed could produce.
Just from the name, Awakening Fruit sounded extraordinary—could it be that anyone who ate it would immediately awaken? If that was the case, then the fruit would be phenomenal! Absolutely the most impressive thing currently around!
But Wang Tao thought it wouldn’t be that simple; even if it did have that effect, there would undoubtedly be various conditions...

The second day had come, and the [Life Drain] effect on the Giant Serpent’s corpse hadn’t disappeared yet, but the effect had weakened somewhat.
Wang Tao compared it to yesterday and did some calculations. He felt that in about six or seven days, [Life Drain] might disappear altogether. And that time frame would coincide with when the Awakening Fruit was supposed to grow.
"It’s grown up!"
In front of the Giant Serpent’s corpse, where Wang Tao dropped the Awakening Seed the day before, a delicate sapling over ten centimeters tall had appeared.
"This should be considered the ’Awakening Tree’ now..."
The sapling looked fragile, but when Wang Tao tore apart the flesh of the Giant Serpent, he suddenly felt his scalp tingle.
Because inside the flesh were densely packed roots!
In just one night, the Awakening Seed had completely taken root in the Giant Serpent’s body!
"Looking forward to it more and more..."
Wang Tao left the Giant Serpent’s corpse, and Jiang Shixue and the others who came later didn’t quite understand, so Wang Tao explained the Awakening Seed and the Awakening Fruit to them.
After hearing about it, everyone marveled and became very curious about what it would grow into.
Today, Wang Tao had planned to take everyone to kill zombies, topping up Lan Yulian and He Jijun’s HP to their full values as he had got a lot of locations of zombie groups from Cheng Yiyi.
However, the Awakening Seed needed seven days to grow, and if he left, it would be problematic if the sapling were destroyed by others or creatures.
So the plan to kill zombies was put on hold for the time being. Wang Tao decided to capture a few zombies to see if he could breed some Night Demons, and at the same time, incubate another Snake Egg...
After all, it was just a matter of waiting, so he might as well kill some time.
