Wang Tao is currently unable to test the combat effectiveness of the golden beetle, but there is no doubt that it will be much stronger. If you have a chance later, you can try it with the sixth-level lord...

He put away the golden beetle and the gray stone shield axe, and then began to make the last trophy. That's the ring drawing.

Wang Tao is also looking forward to this ring, because the ring is also made of gray rock, which can also increase defense and mental defense!

A moment later, a simple gray ring appeared in Wang Tao's palm.

【Greystone Ring】

[Level Six (Epic)]

[Defense +200, mental defense +200, ability: gray stone shield (requires awakening energy to activate)]

[Graystone Shield: Consume energy and awaken energy to form a high-defense shield outside your body. The shield has 1 million blood, lasts up to 10 minutes, and has a cooling time of 6 hours]

hiss!

Even though there was already a precedent for the gray stone shield axe, Wang Tao was still a little surprised after seeing the properties of this ring.

This gray stone ring actually increases the defense power by 200 and the mental defense power by 200! And there is also the "greystone shield" that comes with the graystone shield axe!

Not to mention the increased attributes, just the gray stone shield ability is worth it. After all, this can last up to 10 minutes and has a 1 million blood shield, which is equivalent to a second life!

If coupled with his own more than 800,000 blood, omnipotent shield, golden beetle, and gray stone shield ax shield... Wang Tao can't even imagine how high his defense is!

Ring equipment is different from other equipment. Many of the same type of equipment can only be worn once, and wearing it again will have no effect. But the ring is different. There are ten fingers in total, and the first ring worn on each finger can have an effect.

Therefore, although Wang Tao has a lot of ring equipment, he can still use the gray stone ring without changing his equipment.

However, the defense power of equipment is not superimposed, but calculated independently. Unless it is a suit, the defense added by a certain piece of equipment cannot cover the whole body. And the ring is so small, it can't protect a finger, right?

When Wang Tao put the ring on, he instantly found a warm current quickly covering his whole body from his fingers. He vaguely felt that his defense and mental defense had increased!

"So that's it..."

Wang Tao understood clearly. The ring's increased defense is not just for the fingers, but for the entire body. In other words, the defense added by the ring is superimposed on the equipment!

Wang Tao's sixth-level Night Demon suit only adds a total of 200 defense power. This gray stone ring adds another 200, which is equivalent to 400 defense power of Wang Tao's whole body, and there is also additional mental defense!

"As expected of a destructive level! The things that explode are good!"

Wang Tao sighed a little.

He hopes to continue to encounter sixth-order destruction levels in the future. Judging from his current improved strength, if Wang Tao encounters the destructive-level Tian Hua again, it should not be a problem for Wang Tao to kill him in a short time.

This operation is Wang Tao's most dangerous one in recent times, but it is also the most rewarding one. It can be said to be high risk and high return.

But this is the end of the world with dangers everywhere. Not to mention high returns, for many people, it is good to have returns. Wang Tao is naturally content.

After chatting with Jiang Shixue for a while, Changhe Base arrived.

Those who were brought back by Wang Tao lay on the back of the golden eagle all the way, not daring to get up or raise their heads at all. They didn't see Wang Tao testing the gray stone shield axe, nor did they see the tall city walls and towering trees in the distance.

It was Wang Tao who reminded them very thoughtfully.

"We've arrived."

Some people raised their heads tremblingly. The speed of the golden eagle had slowed down a lot, and they were able to open their eyes.

When they saw the entire Changhe Base appearance and the big tree that was taller than the base from the air, they were confused.

Is there such a place in the apocalypse?

It's not that they haven't seen a survivor base before, but they certainly haven't seen a base of this size. Let’s not talk about how the city wall was built. Let’s talk about that big tree. Is it real or fake? Such a huge plant, maybe it has become a spirit, right? Why are you in the base? And why does it feel like there is a translucent film outside this base? Are you dazzled...

As the golden eagle silently passed through the barrier and entered the base, these people were even more confused and shocked!

It's so warm in here!

And there's not much snow on the streets? There are even pedestrians shopping!

God, is this the end of the world? This is obviously the same as before the end of the world!

Looking at the chattering and laughing survivors below, and thinking that they had lived in a dark place for many years, they suddenly felt a little envious... If they had the chance, they would definitely be willing to live here!

Soon, the golden eagle landed outside City Hall.

For people in the city hall and its vicinity, the golden eagle has been here many times. Although it is surprising every time it is seen, it is somewhat used to it, so it does not come over to watch.

However, Gu Yun and the others were waiting below. Wang Tao had just informed them that there was something going on at the Mammoth Base, but they couldn't explain it in a sentence or two and needed to talk face to face. Gu Yun led many people to wait for Wang Tao at the door.

When he saw Wang Tao kicking more than ten people off the back of the golden eagle, Gu Yun suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

The intelligence Yao Hai gave said that there were more than 3,000 survivors in the Mammoth Base, but now there are only a dozen... With Wang Tao's strength, it is impossible for him to deal with the Mammoth Base, unless... something happened to the Mammoth Base before Wang Tao went there!

Gu Yun's thinking was still very clear, and he immediately found the key to the problem. And the facts were indeed similar to what he expected.

Wang Tao came to Gu Yun and said in a serious tone:

"I went too late, and the more than 3,000 survivors... are gone."

"..."

Although he had already guessed it, Gu Yun still felt blocked in his heart when he heard the news in person. This is more than 3,000 lives!

"What happened?"

Gu Yun asked hurriedly.

"Tian Hua, the leader of the Mammoth Base, got something that can summon high-level life from nowhere, which is the 'evil god' in the intelligence. He called that thing 'stone god', and then he sacrificed all the survivors of the Mammoth Base to this evil god and gained the strength of the sixth level..."

Wang Tao cooperated with the law enforcement recorder on his body and told the story of the Mammoth Base in great detail.

And Wang Tao also brought back some exquisite stone sculptures.

After listening to Wang Tao's words, looking at those one-to-one life-size stone sculptures, Gu Yun and others felt cold in their hearts.

Turning so many survivors into stone is really damnable!

Although Wang Tao has killed Tian Hua, the so-called stone god also deserves to die!

"These people are the only humans left in the Mammoth Base. I don't know much about the situation. Tian Hua and others are also dead. If you want to know more information, just ask them."

Wang Tao pointed at those people and said.

"I understand!"

Gu Yun waved his hand, and immediately a team of soldiers came over and took the group of people to the detention center.

He wanted to pry out all the information these people knew, not only for the survivors, but also about the evil gods, sacrifices, seventh-level enemies and other issues, which must be clarified.

Wang Tao did not stay here for long, and took the golden eagle again and flew directly back home.

Strictly speaking, he participated in a battle this time, but this battle was too intense and costly, so he had to rest for two days. By the way, I will also slowly summarize and digest the experience of this battle, so that I can better deal with similar enemies next time.

However, just as he returned home, Jiang Shixue suddenly grabbed the corner of Wang Tao's clothes with some excitement.

"Brother, I seem to be... promoted!"

"Ah?"

Wang Tao was stunned.

Jiang Shixue didn't eat anything good, so how could she suddenly be promoted?

Jiang Shixue scratched her head and said:

"It seems to be related to your previous battle... When I felt the destructive breath of the sixth level, I felt that I seemed to have some inexplicable gains. When I fought with Tian Hua, the feeling was even stronger. Up to now, I feel like I have digested the results of this battle..."

After that, she looked at Wang Tao with bright eyes.

She said that going out with Wang Tao would definitely be rewarding, and the opportunity for her to be promoted was definitely on Wang Tao. Now it is true!

"So that's it..."

Jiang Shixue is not an ordinary human being, and cannot be measured by humans.

Human promotion requires various conditions, none of which can be missing. But she only fought one fight, and was mostly just playing around, and suddenly she gained something and could be promoted... Reasonable, very reasonable.

"When exactly will she be promoted?"

Wang Tao asked again.

"Right now..."

Jiang Shixue felt her eyelids fighting as soon as she finished speaking, and then her body softened and fell towards Wang Tao.

Wang Tao immediately hugged Jiang Shixue, and saw that Jiang Shixue had fallen asleep. He smiled and shook his head, and carried Jiang Shixue to the bed.

Including Jiang Shixue, they have a total of 4 fifth-level awakeners.

However, in addition to Wang Tao being a normal person, there is also a dog, an eagle and a half-human Jiang Shixue... This combination is a bit strange.

But there is no need to rush. Wang Tao has already accumulated a lot of crystal cores, and Ding Yuqin and the others are also frantically accumulating crystal cores in the cracks. When they come back next time, they should be able to be promoted to the fifth level.

It is actually easier to promote from the fourth level to the fifth level than from the third level to the fourth level, as long as there are enough crystal cores. Wang Tao doesn't have much else now, but a lot of crystal cores.

As for Wang Tao himself... He looked at his crystal core and felt that it would not be long before he could be promoted to the sixth level!

He already had enough crystal cores for the fifth level promotion, but he was still a little short of the almighty crystal core. After all, his four abilities were very rare, and it was unlikely that he would explode the same type again, so he could only rely on the almighty crystal core to improve.

In addition, Wang Tao did not want impurities in his body, so he had to use 4 almighty crystal cores to synthesize 1 impurity-free one. And the easiest way to get a fifth-level almighty crystal core was to explode it from a fifth-level lord, so he had to kill a large number of fifth-level lords.

He had the ability, but fifth-level lords were not easy to find, so he had to pay more attention to it in the future. Although he wanted to kill the sixth-level lord, he was still fifth-level after all and had to be promoted to the sixth level. In the future, he had to focus on the fifth-level lord. He would rest for two days first, and then he would be busy again.

...

It must be said that the barrier of the crystal energy poison tree was really powerful. After blocking the wind and snow for a few days, the temperature in the base had changed from more than 30 degrees below zero to more than ten degrees above zero. The current environment is considered to be a pleasant climate. Wang Tao has been staying at home all day and now doesn't want to go out.

Gu Yun sent a message to Wang Tao that the City Hall had already achieved some results in the interrogation of the people from the Mammoth Base.

There was not much news about Tian Hua. Tian Hua had always been very self-centered and did not trust others very much, so other people did not know him except for Tian Hua's confidants. And Tian Hua's confidants were those who had been sacrificed in the hall before, and they were all sacrificed by Tian Hua... So these people did not know much about Tian Hua, or the summoning altar.

However, they did know the location of some survivors' bases.

The Mammoth Base moved into the crack not long after the crack appeared. Before that, there were some other bases in the area where the Mammoth Base was located.

These people did not know whether those bases were still there, but it was useful information after all. Gu Yun told Wang Tao all these coordinates, and Wang Tao could take a look at them when he went to explore the crack in the Mammoth Base next time. Anyway, for the golden eagle, it was just a matter of flapping its wings a few times.

After communicating with Gu Yun, Wang Tao looked at the time and Jiang Shixue was about to wake up. He immediately came to Jiang Shixue's room, and after a while, Jiang Shixue slowly opened her eyes.

The two looked at each other, and Jiang Shixue immediately threw herself into Wang Tao's arms happily. Wang Tao subconsciously hugged Jiang Shixue, but his expression was a little confused.

"Didn't you advance to the fifth level? How come you have both been promoted and awakened?"

Wang Tao discovered that Jiang Shixue was not only at the fifth level, but also awakened for the second time!

[HP: 400,000/400,000]

[Mana: 300,000/300,000]

[Level: Fifth Level·Lord]

[Awakening: Marionette, Fighting Stance]

Compared with the previous attributes, Jiang Shixue's level became a fifth-level lord, and her HP and Mana doubled - HP reached 400,000, and Mana 300,000! If Wang Tao hadn't used a high-level blood bead to increase his HP by 500,000, he would have been surpassed by Jiang Shixue now.

All of this was within Wang Tao's expectations, but there were two unexpected things.

One was that the impurities in Jiang Shixue's body were gone. She started with 100% impurities in her body, and after the promotion, it became 50%, and after the promotion again, it became 25%, and now it is completely gone.

Wang Tao originally thought that the 25% impurities in her body would be cut in half, but unexpectedly it was gone... Of course, this is a good thing, at least it proves that Jiang Shixue is one step closer to normal humans.

The second thing is that Jiang Shixue's hidden attribute [Dark Claws] is gone, and now it has become the awakening [Battle Stance]!

[Dark Claws] can make Jiang Shixue's nails longer, her palms as hard as steel, and slightly increase some armor-breaking ability. However, her palms are not as strong as the fifth and sixth-level weapons, so she still uses the sixth-level Night Demon Dagger as a weapon. The hidden attribute of Dark Claws is a bit of a waste.

Now that it has successfully awakened for the second time, it is naturally no longer wasted, and this seems to be quite strong.

[Battle Stance: All basic attributes are improved in all aspects, and attack power, defense power, and speed are greatly improved]

This is a passive system awakening, which not only increases all basic attributes, but also increases a lot of attack power, defense power, and speed.

Wang Tao felt that this awakening was tailor-made for Jiang Shixue, because Jiang Shixue's physical fitness was originally very strong, and even zombies might not be able to match her. Now that she has obtained such a system awakening, the effect produced is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.
