Cataclysm: My Proficiency Panel

On the road, watching the fight ahead, Li Ming stopped the car silently.

The route ahead is blocked by the vines that are constantly waving by themselves. If you continue walking like this, you will inevitably encounter them. To be on the safe side, it is better to go down and have a look.

"Moo~"

The mutated buffalo also noticed the battle ahead, and let out a low growl, as if on alert.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

The RV stopped, attracting the attention of the women. Liu Minying came to the cab and saw that Li Ming had already stood up. She couldn't help but ask worriedly.

He asked her as she looked forward, but couldn't see anything.

The fighting place is still a certain distance away from the RV. Coupled with the heavy rain, people who are not strong enough cannot see the situation ahead.

"There's a conflict with monsters ahead. I'm going to see how to solve it. You guys wait here."

Li Ming hugged Sister Wenwen, kissed her, and finally let go, rubbing her gently and saying.

"Well, then husband, you should also be careful!"

Liu Minying nodded worriedly, then quickly helped Li Ming put on his armor, and watched him leave the RV with his gun and sword.

Before leaving, Li Ming deliberately took a pack of mutated beast meat and stuffed it into his armor. After getting off the RV, he scanned the golden toad fighting with the vines and thorns with telekinesis. He frowned slightly, thought for a while, walked to the other side, and tied the rope He took off the rope holding the mutated buffalo.

"Old Niu, let's go and have a look with me."

Li Ming turned over and jumped onto the cow's back. Li Ming held the rope with one hand and a spear with the other. He whispered to the mutated buffalo and pointed forward with the spear as he spoke.

"Moo."

The mutated buffalo seemed to understand what Li Ming meant, its eyes narrowed slightly, and it moved forward slowly.

Without the aid of tools, it was not very convenient to just ride on the back of the cow. Li Ming cut a piece of rope and tied it in a circle and put it on the back of the cow to act as a pedal. When his two horns were put in, he felt much more comfortable.

Then he ate some of the mutated beast meat in his mouth, and kept the rest in his armor. He straightened the long sword with his left hand, and holding the big spear in his right hand, he rode the mutated buffalo and approached the place where the mutated golden toad and the mutated vine were fighting.

When it was close to 500 meters, Li Ming tightened the rope to signal the mutated buffalo to stop, then moved sideways to the farmland next to it, silently waiting for the outcome of the battle.

The farmland has long passed the harvest period. Because no one cares about it and the rain washes away the crops, the food produced is basically ruined and falls to the ground. Only some special weeds are growing rapidly.

The place where Li Ming rode the mutated buffalo happened to be a cornfield. The tall corn stalks could barely cover more than half of the mutated buffalo's body, making it less conspicuous.

Upon seeing this, Li Ming also lay low on the back of the mutated buffalo to reduce his sense of presence. He held the spear flat with one hand and controlled the mutated buffalo to approach slowly while observing the movements of the two mutated creatures in front.

The mutant vine's body seemed to be too close to the pool on one side. Li Ming could notice that many roots were submerged into the pool. This behavior obviously violated the territory of the mutant toad, and the fight should have come from this.

This vine covers a very large area. One side is submerged in the pool and the other side is almost reaching the road. However, it is not high and is composed entirely of low-lying branches and stems.

During the battle between the two parties, the mutant toad is very agile and can spray poisonous mist. These poisonous mist have a strong corrosive penetrating effect. Every time the mutant vine is corroded by the poisonous mist, it will be corroded into large holes. There are branches that are slowly turning gray.

Li Ming noticed that several branches and stems had turned gray and fell to the ground. It was obvious that the mutated vines could no longer be controlled.

But the whipping of the branches manipulated by the mutated vines should not be underestimated. Each branch had sharp barbs. When they were whipped, a small pit was formed on the ground. There were many broken trees around.

The mutated toad seems to be able to do it with ease, but the mutated vine can make many mistakes, and once it is accidentally trapped by a draw, it may be gone immediately.

Li Ming keenly noticed that during the constant battle between the two, the mutant toad was about to leave the attack range of the vine branches many times, and even left several times, but the mutant vine did not attack.

It can be seen from the side that this vine cannot move.

"It won't be worth taking another detour..."

Looking at the fight between the two parties, Li Ming was secretly moved. He didn't know how long the heavy rain was going to fall now, so the car could only drive slowly. If he didn't take a detour, he should be able to reach his hometown tomorrow morning, but if he took a detour, he might be able to reach his hometown. We have to wait another day tomorrow.

In this kind of heavy rain, thunder and lightning, and the restless creatures, no one knows whether they will encounter any other monsters if they go further around. Instead of doing this, it is better to find a way to deal with the two mutated creatures in front of them. .

Moreover... this was Li Ming's first time seeing mutant plants.

I wonder if there are special things like crystal nuclei and mutated beast meat inside?

Can it be absorbed by him?

The only problem is...the mutated vines don't look easy to kill.

Use fire powers?

Li Ming looked at Heavy Rain and silently gave up his thoughts.

Dry wood can be burned with fire, but the mutated vines have a lot of water at first glance. Even if they can be burned by simply using fire powers, they don't know how much energy it will consume.

So...we still have to rely on telekinesis.

He used telekinesis to control sharp weapons directly out of reach of the mutated vine and cut off its branches one by one.

The same goes for the mutated toad. Although the poisonous mist is tricky, what's the use if it can't reach him?

By the way, if Li Ming remembers correctly, toads have medicinal value, but this thing looks like this. How did the ancients discover that it has medicinal value?

In the past, all medicinal materials had to be tried to know whether they would work. Is there any brave man...

Li Ming felt a chill as he thought about it, and quickly suppressed the thought, looking at the agile toad in front of him and muttering in his mind.

Maybe they discovered the medicinal value of ‘Toad Clothes’ and started special research on it?

Shaking his head, Li Ming stopped thinking about this and looked at the golden toads and mutated vines that were still fighting each other in front of him, silently waiting for them to consume each other.

Mutated toads and mutated vines are obviously old rivals. The two have been fighting since Li Ming discovered them, and they have continued to this day. Both the mutated vines and the mutated toads appear to be very skilled in fighting.

Apparently, such a battle was fought more than once.

Li Ming silently controlled an outline needle to fly to a hundred meters away from the mutant toad and hide it, and then controlled his long sword mixed with supernatural metal to fly to a hundred meters away from the mutant vine body and hide it.

The branches of the mutated vines can extend up to fifty or sixty meters, but now they are all attracted by the mutated toads. In the direction near the lake, there are all stretched fighting branches, and even some branches that are not long enough are arranged there. side.

This resulted in few mutated vine branches on this side of the road.

Li Ming paid close attention to the battle between the two while silently accumulating strength.

By now, Li Ming has mastered the skill of manipulating two weapons to attack at the same time. Now the battle between mutated vines and mutated toads is fierce. If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to win in one fell swoop, he can't kill them one by one.

It just so happens that the steel needle is a bit reluctant to use against mutant vines, and the long sword is heavy and suitable for cutting the branches of mutant vines.

Li Ming thought, silently watching the movement in front.

After a while, the mutated toad seemed to be tired and began to slowly withdraw from the spread of the branches of the mutated vines.

Li Ming's heart moved, and he immediately began to lift the steel needle and the long sword into the air.

"Crash..."

The heavy rain covered up all the slightest movements. The mutant toad looked at the mutant vines in front of it with vigilance. The poison sacs on its body kept emitting poisonous mist, and it controlled it to spray towards the mutant vines.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The mutated vines whipped the branches and blew away the poisonous mist. The mutated toad did not dare to roar, but could only watch helplessly as this guy occupied its territory.

After a moment of confrontation, the mutated toad suddenly felt something moving behind him and was about to leave for a look.

"laugh……"

A steel needle like a javelin suddenly pierced out from the dim rain curtain, and pierced hard into the mutant toad's head.

"Pfft~"

A cluster of blood spattered, and the steel needle stirred in the mutant toad's big head and penetrated from its forehead. The mutant toad was severely injured and fell to the ground instantly.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk..."

A sharp-edged steel sword carrying terrifying power took advantage of all the branches and stems of the mutated vines to gather together, quickly crossed a hundred meters, and chopped straight down while accelerating.

There were four crisp sounds in succession, and four vines were instantly cut off by the roots. Drops of green liquid flowed out from the chopped branches. The remaining vines immediately became restless, but the steel sword had quickly re-divided the distance, and then cut again. .

"Bang bang bang..."

With a sound of chopping, the long sword mixed with supernatural metal chopped off four roots at once. The remaining two roots attacked quickly but were dodged by it nimbly. Then they distanced themselves again and chopped again. Just cut off the last two vine branches.

"Done."

Li Ming was always paying attention to the situation on the battlefield. When he saw that the most threatening branches of the vines were cut off, he couldn't help but smile. He still controlled the long sword and kept slashing at the remaining short roots. Chop and push the mutated buffalo forward.

"Moo."

The mutated buffalo roared and approached solemnly.

Not long after, the two approached the mutated vines. The mutated buffalo, who was ready for battle, stared blankly at the mutated toad that had turned into a corpse, and the mutated vines with branches scattered all over the ground.

"Crack, click, click..."

A sound of chopping came from the roots of the mutated vines. The mutated buffalo watched in astonishment as a long sword continued to chop the roots of the vines.

"Moo?"

While on the road, the long sword had already chopped off all the branches and leaves near the rhizome, and now only the last bare roots were left to be hacked.

Li Ming went over to take a look at Niu with his spear in hand. At this moment, he slashed down with his long sword, and a bright green light suddenly emerged.

The moment the green light emerged, the mutated vine roots that were still trembling suddenly lost their movement.

"This is?"

Looking at this green light, Li Ming's eyebrows moved, and he felt a breath of refreshing breath coming towards his face. He couldn't help but move closer, and his palm covered the branch that was emitting green light.

[Pure wood element factor is detected, absorb it to obtain abundant wood element power, and complement the five elements elemental abilities]

[Is it absorbed? 】

[Note: If it is not absorbed, it will become a special material]

"Pure wood element factor!"

Li Ming's eyes widened when he saw this information prompt.

There is no need for system purification, it is just a pure factor.

This was the first time Li Ming encountered such a thing.

Is this something similar to the thousand-year-old tree heart in the TV series, or is it the core existence of a mutated plant that is naturally pure?

If so, if he absorbs this wood element factor, wouldn't he be able to directly obtain supernatural powers comparable to this wood element?

"absorb!"

Li Ming's eyes lit up and he decided to absorb it.

As for the note that if it is not absorbed, it will turn into a special material, Li Ming scoffed. What special material could be as important as his own ability to obtain the wood element!

Li Ming already has the power of water and fire elements. He has a feeling that the five elements of energy can be fused, and with the transformation of the wood element, perhaps his water and fire powers can explode with stronger power.

The moment Li Ming chose to absorb it, he immediately felt a refreshing and refreshing power entering his body from the green branches and stems. Vigorous vitality continued to pour into his body and was compatible with the liver, the five internal organs.

Li Ming immediately felt that he had the power of wood. He could feel the life of the surrounding vegetation. The two seemed to be related. As long as he was willing, he could affect the growth of those vegetation.

Even if he is willing to infuse power, those ordinary plants and trees will grow at an extremely fast speed and turn into his tentacles to attack.

It's a pity that these ordinary plants and trees have no offensive power. Unless they are specially cultivated plants that he infuses with his wood element power every day, they will have the toughness to crack mountains and crack rocks.

In addition, his attack methods condensed with pure wood elements also have the power and toughness to penetrate gold and crack stones, just like Wang Hongyuan in the past.

In addition...the power of the wood element contains vitality. This vitality can help Li Ming recover from injuries. As long as the vital parts are not fatally injured, no matter how serious the injury is, even if the limb is broken, he can slowly recover!

It's just that the difficulty of recovery is also related to the concentration of Li Ming's wood element power. If his wood element power is strong enough, even if his heart is broken, he can usually recover in three to five minutes, but if it is not strong enough, he can only wait to die. .

In addition, [liver] is responsible for detoxification and other functions, and the wood element is compatible with it to a certain extent, so that Li Ming's body will always maintain optimal health.

With the injection of rich wood elements, Li Ming clearly felt that his physical strength was getting stronger and stronger. A special power was generated in his liver, which was flowing endlessly like the power in his heart and kidneys.

This is the origin of the power of the wood element!

It seems to be a blood vessel, or... it is a blood vessel that was born from the liver and continues to grow.

With the improvement of this special existence, the intensity of Li Ming's wood elemental power is also rapidly increasing.

And with the convergence and improvement of the wood element source, Li Ming's physical fitness and liver strength are also constantly rising. Together with the fire element power source in the heart, the water element power source in the kidneys are being driven to begin to slowly increase.

The five elements complement each other!

"Perhaps, the so-called activation of superpowers means that special power sources grow in people's bodies, just like muscles that give birth to physical power, and souls that give birth to telekinesis... As these roots become stronger, the person's corresponding superpowers will also become stronger."

"In other words... it opens up, and even gives people a talent, a bloodline..."

The majestic power of the wood element entered the body, and the special sense of power condensation and birth lingered in his heart. Li Ming felt the changes in his body and couldn't help but move his eyes slightly.

Although he had experience in obtaining water and fire elemental powers in the past, after the abnormal factors were removed from the water elemental power crystals and the fire elemental power crystals, the remaining pure factors were only It was enough for him to barely get started.

Although he naturally has a certain amount of power due to the integration with Li Ming's body, it is still too weak in comparison. The growth in daily exercise is also a little bit slow, and Li Ming cannot feel it too deeply.

But now, as all the power factors of a mutated creature are absorbed by him, it is no different from the normal awakening of powers by a normal person. Under the drastic changes, Li Ming clearly feels his own changes.

Especially now that his strength has increased to this level and he has strong spiritual power, his awareness and understanding of this kind of thing is far better than anyone else's, which is why he can think of this step.

"No wonder ordinary people have narrow escapes from death after gaining superpowers. It turns out that this is directly equivalent to modifying the human body and forcibly adding an extra organ..."

Li Ming thought to himself, and then he couldn't help but carefully feel the feeling of this supernatural power constantly entering his body.

"Moo~~"

The mutated buffalo walked solemnly to Li Ming, staring at the sword that fell on the ground with its bull eyes. It lowered its head and pointed its horns at the sword to observe carefully as if facing a formidable enemy.

After a while, seeing that the sword was still motionless, the mutated buffalo cautiously took a bite of the fragrant mutated vine stems and leaves, and then turned back to push it against it.

After a while, I wanted to eat again, but after thinking about it, I still resisted this feeling. I pawed forward with one hoof, but I didn't dare to act rashly when I saw that it still didn't respond.

Not long after, when Li Ming finished absorbing the wood element core and opened his eyes with great energy, he saw the mutated buffalo staring at him and controlling the long sword to chop the vines with telekinesis. It moved left and right from time to time and took another bite of the stem of the mutated vine. Ye, his eyes were very alert.

What is this cow doing?

Li Ming shook his head, stepped forward, picked up the sword and put it away in his hand. Under the incredulous gaze of the mutated buffalo, he easily walked to the mutated toad corpse on the other side with the sword in hand.

Fortunately, the poisonous mist had dissipated. Li Ming used his strength to turn the mutated toad over, turning it belly up. He endured the nausea and stretched out his hand to cover its belly.

[Special power factors are detected, and absorption will increase poison resistance]

[Is it absorbed? 】

Increased toxicity resistance?

Li Ming raised his eyebrows and immediately chose yes.
