This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1536 - 662: Blue Butterfly and Chrysalis_3

[The rhino has discovered you, and seeing the colorful markings on your body, it lets out an angry roar, raising its head high. On its horn, the shadow of a giant hammer emerges, and with the descent of its head, it smashes heavily into the ground.]

[A rift-induced Shockwave rushes towards you rapidly.]

[You release the Silence Domain, significantly weakening the power of the Shockwave, but the residual energy still blasts you away.]

[In the meantime, the rhino kicks off with its hind legs, charging towards the direction where you land.]

[You swing your blade, releasing a slash. A Crescent Sword Aura takes form, swiftly slicing through, accurately striking the rhino’s front limb, leaving a terrifying sword wound on its front leg.]

[The rhino cries out in pain, rolling to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.]

[The rhino quickly climbs back up, slightly lifting its right front leg, clearly unable to exert power, its gaze towards you filled with even more hatred...]

This kind of rhino, Mu You had seen before, named the Hammerhead Rhino, because it could gather a hammer on its head, known for its immense attack power. It’s said that the hammer on its head can easily crush a mountain.

Fortunately, this beast had a weak defensive power, especially its four legs, seemingly as fragile as paper. As long as you find the right opportunity to ambush it, it’s easy to cripple its movement ability in a short time.

Mu You had killed quite a few of such rhinos before.

However, the rhino in front of him was completely different from the Hammerhead Rhinos he had seen. Due to Jie Lin’s influence, its hammer attack power was weakened significantly, but its defensive power was greatly enhanced!

Outside, he could stab a Hammerhead Rhino to death with a Poisonous Velvet Knife, but now, even with the Divine Artifact of God of Decapitation and Divine Power, he only managed to inflict a wound, unable to even sever that leg.

This proves that creatures in Jie Lin cannot be treated with the same understanding as those outside...

Amidst these thoughts, the opposing rhino charged again, and Mu You hurriedly retreated to evade.

At this moment, Ava reminded him that those small creatures that had fled earlier appeared again, watching him from a distance. frёewebηovel.cѳm

The scene was just like when that ’Egg Beast’ died earlier. It seemed these little things were waiting for him to die, intending to scavenge some remains.

Mu You didn’t pay attention to these small animals, controlling his character to escape while repeatedly slashing, continuously inflicting wounds on the rhino.

No matter how tough-skinned the rhino was, it couldn’t withstand such torment.

Soon, after Mu You struck dozens of slashes, the rhino let out a wail, collapsed to the ground, and died.

[You expended every ounce of effort to finally slay this gigantic fierce beast, but your internal energy was nearly exhausted as well.]

[Seeing you actually killed the rhino, the small creatures surrounding you were frightened and scattered.]

[This mutated Hammerhead Rhino was at the top of the food chain on the first layer of Jie Lin, and since you could slay it, other small animals naturally didn’t dare provoke you.]

"So it was at the top of the food chain, no wonder..."

Mu You let out a breath, though he killed the rhino unscathed, he didn’t feel relaxed at all.

Using that slashing blade required energy, and to kill this rhino, he had exhausted his energy. If any aggressive creature came at him now, he wouldn’t have any means to fend it off.

Luckily, this thing was already the apex predator on the first layer. By killing it, Mu You established his dominance, and those observing creatures dared not provoke him anymore.

[You notice on the corpse of the dead rhino ahead, a familiar Chrysalis has formed at the top.]

[The Chrysalis quickly hatches, and a much larger deep blue butterfly than the previous one emerges from the cocoon, taking flight from the rhino’s body.]

"Huh?"

Mu You was puzzled. He thought these egg-borne butterflies were a phenomenon peculiar to the death of that ’Egg Beast’, but it turned out that all creatures here turned into butterflies upon death?

"Could this be some kind of loot?"

With this thought, Mu You instinctively controlled his character to chase after the butterfly.

[You instinctively reach out to grab the butterfly, but the butterfly is intangible and insubstantial, passing through your hand like a phantom. The blue wings flickered, leaving a trail of blue light as it flew deep into the forest and disappeared.]

[The Chrysalis from which the butterfly emerged on the rhino’s corpse emitted a faint fragrance. You try to touch the Chrysalis, discovering it is tangible. Will you collect it?]

Mu You didn’t rush to decide. This place was full of unfamiliar things, and he noticed earlier that those small animals avoided the Chrysalis while eating the Egg Beast, leaving it untouched. Perhaps it’s poisonous or cursed.

He waited for about half a minute when a new prompt popped up.

[Due to your delay in collecting, the Chrysalis automatically shattered and disappeared.]

"Not collecting it will make it disappear?"

Having confirmed this point, Mu You reversed time, preparing to collect it and see what happens.

Now, his time reversal had become much more convenient. He no longer needed to press the Pocket Watch; it would automatically respond with just a thought. Additionally, he could select how many seconds to rewind, so for some simple choices, he didn’t have to wait for ten seconds each time.

[Time flowed backward, and you timely collected the Chrysalis.]

[You obtained ’High-quality Biological Chrysalis’ *1]

[As you plucked the Chrysalis, the rhino’s corpse deflated like a punctured balloon, turning into black charred dust in the blink of an eye, merging into the black soil and disappearing.]

"I see..."

Mu You somewhat understood.

If the Chrysalis is ignored, it will quickly disappear, but the biological remains can be preserved. Whereas if you pluck the Chrysalis, it can be preserved, but the biological remains will wilt and disappear.

In short, you can only pick one between the Chrysalis and the biological remains. The reason those small animals deliberately avoid the Chrysalis is precisely to eat the blood and flesh.
