Chapter 252 Half-step to the first level

The tang sword with condensed internal energy went straight up, entered from the round belly, and came out from the center of the eyebrows, splitting the meat mountain of Gluttony in two.

At the same time, a crystal stone emitting a glittering green light was exposed.

"Human, you actually..."

Gluttony's mouth, which was only half left, opened and closed, and the cut body showed signs of healing.

"Like a cockroach, its vitality is really tenacious." Jiang Cheng looked at the wound with granulation and immediately poked it with the tip of the knife.

"No... don't!"

Gluttony saw this and screamed in fear, but it was impossible to stop Jiang Cheng.

As the tip of the knife poked in, the green crystal flew into the air.

Jiang Cheng made a single move: "Wind."

The crystal was wrapped in a small whirlwind and sent into the palm of his hand.

"Give it back... to me."

Without the crystal stone, Gluttony's body began to shrink, and the moisture on the skin evaporated quickly. In less than a few seconds, it became like a dead branch and completely lost its vitality.

After getting rid of Gluttony, Jiang Cheng looked at Meowpass again.

Just saw.

The battle on Meowpass's side was also coming to an end.

Meow——

With a low roar, Meowpass turned into a white afterimage and crushed the head of the second-level crusher.

Boom——

Without its head, the second-level death crusher fell to the ground.

Seeing this, another second-level death harvester roared, and its body was visibly pale blue, and its eyes were red as blood.

Second-level death harvester, furious form.

Swish——

The transformation was completed, and the second-level death harvester waved its sickle, jumped high, opened its two sickles, and cut down crosswise.

Meow——

Facing the opponent's attack, Meowpass's silver pupils flashed a trace of disdain, bent his body, kicked his legs and jumped up, and grabbed the harvester with a claw at a faster speed.

Puff——

Instantly, the gray-white thing exploded in the air.

Without its head, the second-level death harvester's arms drooped, and its body fell vertically into the ground.

Devour!

The skill was activated, and a black vortex formed in front of Meowpass's mouth. In a short while, the two second-level zombies were completely absorbed.

After devouring the two zombies, Meowpass's fur became shinier, and his body seemed to be bigger, about the same size as an ordinary lynx.

He licked his tongue with satisfaction, watching Jiang Cheng's tail swinging rhythmically, like a spoiled princess.

"You glutton!"

Jiang Cheng did not blame Meowpass. Now he had enough crystals in his hand, and he still had plenty of energy points, so he took it as a reward.

Seeing that the third-level leader and the second-level were all solved, and the remaining dozen first-level zombies and zombies below the first level were left, Jiang Cheng simply summoned Aaron again and ordered: "Aron, Meow Pass, all the zombies here are left to you."

As he said, he looked at Meow Pass and said: "This time, keep all the zombie crystals for me, and don't swallow them again."

"Aron, swallow as many as you can."

After the order fell, Meow Pass was not dissatisfied at all. The two second-level zombie crystals just now had saturated the energy in its body.

"Meow——" Meow Pass called out to indicate his agreement.

"Yes... Master." Aaron also spoke hoarsely.

Next, Jiang Cheng summoned the second-level and third-level doomsday warriors on his wrist to join the battlefield at the same time.

Two hours later.

Jiang Cheng clicked on the spoils.

A total of 8,600 ordinary zombie crystals, 2,300 mutant crystals, 23 first-order lower zombie crystals, and 6 first-order upper zombie crystals were obtained. Excluding the two second-order lower crystals swallowed by Meowpass, the remaining ones were the third-order gluttony crystals that had just been killed.

After storing the extra crystals in the gold space ring, Jiang Cheng left ten mutant crystals alone and handed them to Aaron, saying, "Aaron, can you still swallow them?"

Aaron hesitated for a moment, revealing a faint desire.

"Is the energy about to reach saturation?" Jiang Cheng guessed, and handed the crystal in his hand over.

Aaron took them one by one and swallowed them.

After swallowing 6 mutant crystals, Aaron stopped swallowing.

And his body began to change further.

The rotten wounds on his body were all healed, and the whole person looked no different from a normal person except for a pair of gray pupils and blue-gray skin.

In total, including the crystals swallowed in battle, Aaron swallowed 25 ordinary zombie crystals and 22 mutant crystals.

"Data Eye, open!"

"

Name: Aaron (mutated zombie) (energy saturation)

Race: zombie

Level: Zero level

Intelligence: 0.15

Strength: 9.6+13

Agility: 2.1+1

Comprehensive combat power: 25.85

"

"Strength increased by 13 points, agility increased by 1 point, and comprehensive combat power reached 25.85, which is considered to be a half-step first-level zombie."

Jiang Cheng was quite satisfied with Aaron's changes. Last time, he only swallowed a dozen crystals to reach energy saturation. Now he can swallow more than 40 crystals, which is a great improvement.

Then, Jiang Cheng looked at Meowpass again.

"

Name: Meowpass

Race: Devourer (Growing Stage)

Level: Lower Level 2

Intelligence: 1.2

Strength: 700+85

Agility: 220+5

Spirit: 100+5

Power: Devour (Can devour all items and turn them into nutrients for itself)

Comprehensive Combat Strength: 1111.2

"

After swallowing two second-level zombie crystals and zombie corpses, Meowpass's strength increased by 85 points, and his agility did not increase significantly, but his comprehensive combat power reached 1106.2, which was considered to be above the second level.

After turning off the data eye, Jiang Cheng glanced at the dilapidated ship community, turned around and headed towards the base.

…

August 3, 2022.

The survivors of the Dawn Base gathered together early in the morning.

Everyone whispered to each other, looking excited, obviously quite excited about the upcoming event today.

However, there were two people in the crowd who were relatively silent, and they seemed out of place compared to the people around them.

"Xiaodie, are you happy?"

"By the way, I'll tell you a little news I heard yesterday. As long as you enter the top 20 today, you will get a generous reward." Zhao Xiaotong said mysteriously.

"Yeah." Zhou Xiaodie nodded lightly, as a response.

"Okay." Seeing Zhou Xiaodie's cold face, Zhao Xiaotong looked helpless, but it was much better than the lifeless look yesterday.

As she said that, she looked around excitedly again.

The people around her, both men and women, were similar to her, and they were all ready to fight. However, when she glanced at one person, she suddenly stopped, and then pulled the sister beside her and said, "Wang Man, look at that boy, does he look like our Xiaodie now?"

Following the direction of Zhao Xiaotong's finger, Wang Man saw a man with a cold face. The survivors around him seemed to deliberately distance themselves from him, which directly led to a one-meter vacuum zone around him.

And there seemed to be an indissoluble sadness on the man's face, which made people unable to help but explore his past.

Just as Wang Man stared at the man, the man seemed to feel the gaze from Wang Man and slowly turned his head.

The eyes of the two crossed in the air for half a second.

Wang Man, who was no longer a novice, was busy lowering her head, and her heart was beating like a deer.

"Huh-Huh-"

"He probably didn't notice me, did he?"

While muttering to herself, Zhao Xiaotong next to her couldn't help but joked: "Oh, is our Xiaoman shy?"

"Pfft!"

After being told this by Zhao Xiaotong, Wang Man spat lightly and said unhappily: "Sister Xiaotong, don't make fun of me. This kind of uncle is not my type."

"Really?"

Zhao Xiaotong was intriguing.

Wang Man lowered her head again after being looked at by Zhao Xiaotong.

Just then.

A loud voice came from the front, and the crowd began to make noise.
