Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

Ding Yi quickly inventoried the spoils of this battle.

Besides the male leader and two Tier 1 females, there were fourteen adult late-stage Rockhorn Horses, all of them female.

In addition, there were ten early to mid-stage foals, but only seven were captured alive. The remaining three Rank 5 or 6 young male Rockhorn Horses were too difficult to control, so they were killed directly.

So, counting everything, the entire Rockhorn Horse herd had twenty-seven members, all of whom were hunted down without a single one missing.

Most of the seven captured foals were early-stage Rockhorn Horses, only about the size of sheep.

After being shackled and tightly bound with ropes, they were locked in the armored tricycles along with the previous young Rockhorn Horse. If there wasn't enough space, they were locked onto another one or two tricycles.

Anyway, they were all well-fed, so even if they were locked up for seven or eight days, they wouldn't die.

What remained were the twenty Rockhorn Horse corpses.

From the male leader, whose size exceeded seven meters, to the foals, which were only slightly larger than sheep, they covered the entire camp.

Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan were tasked with processing the Tier 1 Rockhorn Horse corpses as quickly as possible, while the remaining fourteen adult Rockhorn Horses were handed over to the other four women to dissect and retrieve the meat.

As for the last three young Rockhorn Horses, because their value was too low—a few hundred pounds of horse meat couldn't yield even a hundred pounds of usable meat—and their rank was too low, taking them back would only allow them to be traded at the Holy Spring Day market…

It would be a waste of the electric tricycle's space and load capacity.

So, they were used as dog food for the Divine Hound.

After assigning tasks to everyone, including the Divine Hound, everyone immediately sprung into action, and the entire camp was bustling with activity.

The adult Rockhorn Horses were fine; everyone had experience processing them. It was the Tier 1 Rockhorn Horse corpses, especially the largest one, the male leader, that were challenging.

The enormous horse corpse was more than ten times larger than Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan, like a huge elephant.

When Lin Feng approached and made contact, the corner of his eye displayed that it was a Tier 1 mid-stage Rank 14 Rockhorn Horse.

Its herd size was among the smallest in the migrating beast tide, so its own strength was not too strong.

But even so, the male leader was a top warrior who had fought his way out of hundreds of single male Rockhorn Horses!

Defeating the previous leader and realizing the value of his horse life!

Passing on his excellent genes!

Having evolved to Tier 1 mid-stage, its horse body was covered with a thick layer of rock armor to resist predators, and more importantly, to guard against sneak attacks from other male Rockhorn Horses.

At this moment, the blade length of the daggers in Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan's hands was not even as long as the twenty-centimeter-thick rock armor on its body surface.

They could only use a large machete to peel off the rock armor.

The two learned from Lisa's steps, first bleeding the male leader's horse corpse, then cutting open the rock armor modules along the seams, gradually peeling off all the thick rock armor on one side.

This would make it much easier to open one side of the ribs and clean out the internal organs.

After cutting open the soft armor on the abdomen, the blade of the machete in Lin Feng's hand, which had been strengthened to Rank 7, was already curled and bent.

After prying open one side of the ribs, Chen Shanshan used a titanium spear to hold the ribs in place, and together with Lin Feng, pulled out a pile of warm internal organs, weighing four or five hundred kilograms.

From the colorful internal organs, they successfully found a large, still actively beating heart.

This Rank 14 horse heart was a full half-meter in size and weighed one hundred pounds!

It pulsed vigorously, like a water pump, extracting and compressing blood to drive this seven-meter-long behemoth, unleashing tons of terrifying power.

And at this moment, it would become the driving force for Lin Feng's evolution, completing its final mission.

After digging out all the internal organs, the entire internal abdominal cavity space of the horse corpse had several cubic meters, enough for two people to lie down in, one in front of the other.

And next was the spine at the deepest part of the cavity, and the two tender tenderloin muscles on both sides.

They were close to the photovoltaic rock armor and were the most concentrated areas of evolutionary cells on the Rockhorn Horse's body besides the heart.

They were also evolutionary meat rich in life essence.

Lin Feng took out a sharp knife, and without fear of getting dirty, he crawled into the abdominal cavity of the horse corpse, first cutting off the ribs, each as thick as a thigh, and then carefully peeling off the tenderloin.

It took a full hour to perfectly cut off two nearly five-meter-long tenderloins.

They weighed a total of two hundred kilograms.

Calculated, the Tier 1 mid-stage Rockhorn Horse had five hundred pounds of evolutionary meat in its body!

Reaching a quarter of a ton!

«Rockhorn Horse Evolutionary Meat LV14, Red Quality»

«Rank 14 evolutionary meat, rich in life essence, with strong biological activity, can be absorbed through consumption or filtration to break through Tier 1 early-stage and achieve mid-stage evolution; it is recommended to consume after Rank 13 evolution, the lower the rank, the worse the subsequent evolution effect»

«Note: This evolutionary meat is full of alien evolutionary genes, which can easily cause gene pollution to enhanced life, leading to unknown畸变 consequences. Pure evolutionary essence can be extracted through a purification extraction filter to achieve immaculate evolution»

After taking out the evolutionary meat, Lin Feng frowned slightly as he looked at the reminder and gaze in the corner of his eye.

Rank 14 evolutionary meat could achieve the promotion from Tier 1 early-stage to mid-stage. If he consumed it now at Rank 10, it would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, and the effect of subsequent consumption would become very poor.

But right now, if he wanted to reach Rank 13 in one go, he would need at least one Rank 11, one Rank 12, and one Rank 13 Rockhorn Horse.

And Lin Feng had just looked at the remaining two Tier 1 female Rockhorn Horses…

One was Rank 10, and it had just been promoted.

The other was Rank 11, which would at most allow Lin Feng to rise another rank.

So, holding the Rank 14 strengthened meat in his hand, Lin Feng felt a little embarrassed.

If eating it could allow him to rise two ranks in a row like during the Enhanced Human period, eventually evolving to Rank 13, then the improvement in Lin Feng's strength would be more than just a little.

Then, killing the Tier 1 mid-stage male leader would not be as stretched as it was now, requiring someone to make a sacrifice.

Whether to consume the Rank 14 evolutionary meat in advance…

For a time, Lin Feng was caught in a dilemma.

Just then, Chen Shanshan cut off a thick, two-meter-long giant horse leg and walked up to Lin Feng:

"The energy density of the thigh is not low either. I just ate a small piece of fresh meat and felt that the alien energy in my body was touched. You try it."

Saying that, Chen Shanshan used a sharp knife to cut off a small piece of horse meat from the cross-section of the horse leg and handed it to Lin Feng.

Looking at the still-beating horse meat cells, Lin Feng opened his mouth and tasted it.

The raw meat tasted a bit fishy, but it was chewy and had a fresh sweetness.

Before he could swallow it, as the evolutionary cells in his body produced a strange sensation, a reminder popped up in the corner of Lin Feng's eyes:

«Rockhorn Horse Meat LV13, Red Quality»

«Rank 13 Rockhorn Horse meat, contains trace amounts of Rank 14 evolutionary cells, life essence is scarce, unable to extract the life essence to achieve cross-rank evolution, but can be absorbed through consumption to help Tier 1 early-stage evolvers break through the level limit below Rank 14»

«Note: This meat block can help evolvers increase the level limit within the stage or restore physical condition, but it has a strong polluting effect on enhanced-stage life forms, please use with caution»

After reading the introduction, Lin Feng immediately smiled.

The principle of evolutionary levels, the qualitative evolution of these three small stages in the early, middle, and late stages of Tier 1…

At this moment, it brought unexpected joy to Lin Feng!

Like during the Enhanced Human period, the lower limit of the power of a Tier 1 early-stage evolver is one ton, and the upper limit is broken through with the level, eventually approaching four tons.

And the Rank 14 Tier 1 mid-stage evolution has a basic power with a lower limit of four tons.

That is to say, the extreme burst of Rank 13 is only the normal state of Rank 14.

Therefore, within the small stage, the difference between levels is not very obvious, at most it is the gradual breakthrough of the upper limit.

The aura of a Rank 10 evolved body and a Rank 13 evolved body does not have much obvious change.

But the difference between the early, middle, and late stages is particularly obvious.

And when the external strength gap is reflected in the internal structure of the evolved body, it is the local and overall difference in the level of evolutionary cells.

In the Rank 14 Rockhorn Horse, except for the evolutionary meat, all other muscle tissues are equivalent to the evolutionary cells of the Rank 13 Rockhorn Horse.

And the Rank 13 Rockhorn Horse only has the evolutionary meat part reaching the Rank 13 upper limit, and some of the others are still enhanced meat.

They still need a period of precipitation to allow most of the ordinary evolutionary cells in the body to evolve to Rank 13.

This is also an important reason why many Rank 13 male Rockhorn Horses cannot defeat the mid-stage male leader.

The real gap between the two sides is not in the upper limit of physical fitness, but in the basic lower limit.

And at this moment, the Rank 14 male Rockhorn Horse, after evolving to the mid-stage, the rest of the horse meat in the body also simultaneously evolved to Rank 13 to carry the Rank 14 evolutionary essence.

This evolutionary principle also allows the several evolvers of the Lin Feng team to quickly complete the accumulation of their early-stage evolution.

By eating Rank 13 ordinary horse meat, the proliferation and division of evolutionary cells in the body is accelerated.

Making the limit strength gradually increase, all the way up to more than three tons.

That is, the upper limit of Rank 13 in the early stage!

Therefore, in Lin Feng's view, there are actually only three major levels of evolution within each stage.

The intermediate small levels are actually consolidating and digesting the improvement brought about by the last qualitative evolution.

The development of things is composed of qualitative and quantitative changes.

Each qualitative change is the ultimate result of quantitative change, and it will also bring about the development of overall quantitative change.

Otherwise, forcibly pulling up seedlings will only make the whole body full of drawbacks, eventually leading to collapse.

Now, he will gradually accumulate the quantitative changes of his own early-stage evolution through this batch of Rank 13 horse meat.

So that after becoming a Rank 13 evolver, he can take the Rank 14 life essence…

Realize the qualitative leap from the early stage to the mid-stage!

Become a powerful mid-stage evolver!
