Chapter 333: Chapter 162 Magical Stomach Pouch_1
Bang!
When Jiang Shixue slammed the pus-filled zombie against the wall again, there was a loud crash.
The wall was smashed open, revealing the street outside.
“Not good!”
Wang Tao immediately tried to intervene, but it was a step too late; the green pus-filled zombie had already escaped through the opening.
“After it!”
Wang Tao did not want to let it go. After all, although the zombie had high defense, it wasn’t very good at attacking. Moreover, it seemed to lack blood regeneration abilities, so with some more time, they could definitely kill it. Wang Tao was very curious about what kind of crystal core was inside the zombie’s body.
The two gave chase, and Jiang Shixue had a keen nose. As long as she was within a certain range of the pus-filled zombie, she could roughly pinpoint its location.
Plus with Jiang Shixue’s speed, they never lost sight of it.
However, neither of them managed to inflict any damage on the pus-filled zombie, and by sunset, the zombie still had 17,000 HP!
“Can’t go on, need to rest a while!”
Although Wang Tao did not want to let the zombie go, he had no other choice.
He wasn’t Jiang Shixue; his body was still human. After such a long period of running, he was completely out of strength.
He could have used a generator potion to recover, but it came with a weakness lasting a whole day. Moreover, even if he used the potion, it wasn’t certain they could kill the pus-filled zombie… so they had to give up for the time being.
As for Jiang Shixue, she wasn’t even out of breath, which Wang Tao admired greatly.
“Brother, I can go after it by myself!”
Jiang Shixue volunteered.
“No need, it’s going to be dark soon. It’s too dangerous outside, and I’m not comfortable with you going alone.”
Wang Tao grabbed Jiang Shixue’s hand.
Jiang Shixue might be strong, but she was a bit clueless at times. Wang Tao had worked hard to save her and did not wish for her to get into trouble again.
“Okay~”
Jiang Shixue was very obedient. If Wang Tao told her not to go, she would not. She let Wang Tao hold her hand obediently.
The two found an abandoned little house where they prepared to rest for the night.
As for the food Eldest Lu had left for him, Wang Tao planned to go there tomorrow. He believed that after witnessing his strength, Eldest Lu wouldn’t play tricks.
Night time.
Wang Tao lay casually on the bed, with Jiang Shixue lying beside him, tightly holding onto his arm.
Wang Tao wasn’t sure if it was the past events that had affected Jiang Shixue or if she always saw him as a fatherly figure… Although she was powerful now, she seemed to lack a sense of security. Every time it came to sleeping or resting, she liked to stay close to Wang Tao.
Of course, there was nothing untoward between them, as they were both fully clothed.
Wang Tao checked the loot from the three Level 2 Elites zombies they had killed that day.
All three zombies were of the same kind, and the items they dropped were similar.
First was the crystal core.
There was a power crystal core, which he had seen before. The other two were “spittle nails,” one excellent and one of excellent quality.
[Level 2 Crystal Core · Spittle Nail]
[Quality: Excellent (40%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side effect: Food consumption increases several times)]
[Spittle Nail: Can store one-tenth of the food eaten in the stomach and then spit it out as a weapon]
This ability was quite interesting. To spit out eaten food and use it as a ranged attack!
Wang Tao recalled the attacks of those three zombies; those black particles—wait, could those be rice grains?
Wang Tao suddenly frowned.
They mainly consumed rice here, and the granaries were likely storing rice grains.
If it really was rice grains, it indicated a problem—that these zombies had entered the granaries!
If that was the case, it was a problem! Eldest Lu believed that the granaries hadn’t been tampered with, but what if the zombies had interfered with them? And there might still be zombies inside…
However, Eldest Lu had a danger perception hidden ability. If there were true danger, he should be able to detect it…
With no more concerns, Wang Tao turned his attention back to the loot.
The three zombies had each dropped the same loot bags, which contained similar items.
Wang Tao had figured out that he only received an increased reward if he achieved an over-leveled kill against Level 2 Lords or Level 3 zombies. The reward for such a kill was tripled!
That included a threefold increase in both the HP limit and the number of loot bags.
So when he killed the toad zombie, it dropped three loot bags, but killing a Level 2 Elite zombie only resulted in one bag.
Of course, Wang Tao wasn’t picky; one was better than none. Moreover, the item that dropped was quite interesting.
[Magical Stomach Pouch *3]
[Magical Stomach Pouch: Contains a compressed low-temperature space that can store a certain amount of food, but filling it will consume one-tenth of the food]
Wang Tao took the magical stomach pouch in his hand.
Although it was called a stomach pouch, it didn’t look frightening and resembled a genuine leather water bag. It had a movable opening at the top. When opened, it was pitch-black inside, and nothing could be seen.
Wang Tao tried it, and only food could be put inside. Other items wouldn’t fit, and even if forced in, they would be ejected.
He wondered what governs this, but found it incredibly fascinating nonetheless.
This was somewhat similar to his storage backpack. However, his backpack could only hold items with visible names, and anything without a visible name couldn’t be stored in it.
But once items were inside, it was as if time stood still. As long as he didn’t interact, nothing inside would change. Additionally, the space in his storage backpack was infinite.
