Chapter 62: New Skill

Xiao Fen was not a criminal investigation master, so he was not interested in the cause of death of the corpses appearing in such shelters. Relative to this, what interested him more were the two daggers scattered beside the corpses.

He walked over, looking at these two daggers with suspicious spots all over the hilt parts, but the blades were still shining coldly. The two corpses had no other weapon s besides these two daggers and their tattered military uniforms.

However, for Xiao Fen, two daggers were enough.

He picked up these two daggers, walked to the second iron door, and recited softly.

“Miracle of Norton, Create, Heart of Yarlann.”

“Miracle of Norton, Create, Withered Flower.”

With the process of the two daggers being crafted, Xiao Fen obviously felt that his whole body fell into a state of splitting headache again. It seemed that all his Energy was drawn empty. Although he did not feel tired, his perception ability dropped a lot.

Feeling all this, Xiao Fen finally straightened out the mutual connections between several elements of crafting weapons;

Scrolls, materials, skills, and Energy.

Scrolls ensured the learning of crafting, materials provided the prototype, weapon crafting skills guaranteed the ability to craft, and paying Energy to exchange for the World Tree’s Energy Projection caused changes in the weapons.

This was precisely why the two Legendary Awakened, Jack and Farrah, began to react with fatigue quickly before entering the real battle. Both crafting and secondary crafting consumed a large amount of Energy, let alone forging.

Moreover, in such battles, the two Legendary Awakened constantly made mistakes that should not have been there for their level of Awakened. This was largely related to excessive Energy consumption, resulting in lack of concentration and weakened perception ability.

As for Xiao Fen, in the final confrontation with Jack, he was also unable to cause more damage due to the fast consumption of weapon durability. This had a fundamental connection with the fact that he had consumed a considerable amount of Energy in previous crafting, resulting in lack of concentration in the later stage.

“If you want to live longer, you must carefully handle the relationship between crafting and Energy. Meaningless crafting will only make your spirit unable to concentrate and perception have problems when facing real threats.”

Xiao Fen thought so. As the dizziness process slowly disappeared, his perception began to spread again. An iron door not far from him attracted his attention.

Although it looked like a closed door on the surface, Xiao Fen could clearly feel that the sound coming from behind this door was more different, clearer, and sharper. Or there were some sounds occasionally appearing in some gaps, which sounded like a sharp nail extending into the door crack, desperately trying to open the door.

“I can help you, don’t be polite.”

Xiao Fen said so, walked to the side of that door, took a deep breath, and after the fatigue on his body slightly decreased, exerted force suddenly and kicked out at the iron door.

Sure enough, as Xiao Fen had just judged, this door opened inwards. The creature behind the door had no intelligence and only pressed against the door to push outwards, so it could never open this iron door with a broken lock.

As the door moved slightly inwards, a strange furry creature appeared before Xiao Fen’s eyes. Behind this door crack, there seemed to be 3 such creatures in total.

Through the door crack, those strange creatures were staring viciously at Xiao Fen, with a look as if they wanted to rush up and devour Xiao Fen completely.

Xiao Fen showed his teeth and smiled, saying, “Good morning, glad to see you.”

After speaking, his body flashed, and he rushed straight at the first creature in front of him. Before the other’s sharp curved nails could scratch Xiao Fen, the blade of the Heart of Yarlann had suddenly stabbed into the red eye of this creature.

The power generated by both parties moving forward simultaneously made the sharp Heart of Yarlann even more powerful. With the sound of “puchi” of the eye ball breaking spreading, the dagger in Xiao Fen’s hand was completely inserted into the monster’s head.

With a slight twist of Xiao Fen’s right hand, that monster let out a low, crying-like roar, and its body began to tremble constantly.

At the same time, Xiao Fen pulled out the dagger, letting the monster slowly kneel down beside him, and suddenly slashed with his left hand from bottom to top, splitting the belly of another charging monster with the Withered Flower.

The toxicity and strong acid and alkali corrosion ability of the Withered Flower worked on Legendary Awakened like Jack, let alone that monster.

Black blood and rapidly contaminated black internal organs instantly gushed out from this monster’s body. When the monster landed, it had already become a corpse with a completely black body.

The other two monsters pounced up simultaneously, but at this time, Xiao Fen’s heart was already calm.

The Withered Flower was better at corrosion than assault, and its sharpness was far inferior to the Heart of Yarlann, yet it could still slice the monster’s epidermis just now.

This was enough to prove that two daggers were sufficient to break the defense of the two human-like monsters in front of him, which were covered with white mold, and cause damage.

While judging, Xiao Fen’s body naturally squatted slightly. His primary melee attack talent played its role again. Combined with high Mental perception and control ability, the Heart of Yarlann stabbed out suddenly in an almost impossible gap.

With another “zi” sound, the Heart of Yarlann once again pierced the head of the monster on Xiao Fen’s right hand side and nailed it firmly to the wall.

That monster struggled a few times and then slowly lost vitality, hanging its limbs softy.

At the same time, Xiao Fen’s left hand blocked suddenly beside him. A sharp claw was blocked by the Withered Flower, making a “ding” sound, like the ringing of metal. But this was also the last attack of that monster.

While the blade of the Withered Flower blocked the monster’s claw attack, it had already cut through the monster’s claw epidermis. The intense toxins quickly caused the monster’s claw and arm to rot and fester, and the spread speed was very astonishing.

When Xiao Fen officially turned his body, the last monster in this small room had a large amount of swelling all over its body. Even those molds quickly died. Within a few seconds, the monster rotted into a pile of rotten meat.

Above Xiao Fen’s eye corner, the task display position that had appeared in the London Trial World before suddenly appeared with some text. At the same time, the Withered Flower suddenly disintegrated in Xiao Fen’s hand and turned to nothing.

“You killed four Nobby humanoid mutants, triggering the task condition.”

“You triggered the side task, Mutant Research.”

“Mutant Research: Some strange creatures appeared in this shelter. Their existence seemed to have a close connection with the world above. Kill a few more, and there might be new discoveries.”

“Task Difficulty: Level D”

“Task Requirement: Kill 12 Nobby humanoid mutants.”

“A simple side task. Level 0 monsters cannot pose a threat to you. Why not practice your skills here first?”

Xiao Fen searched in this room and obtained 4 military daggers and a string of keys.

After resting briefly in this room, Xiao Fen walked out, looked at the key string in his hand, smiled slightly, held the military dagger, and walked towards the next iron door.
