Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 801 - 314: Awakening Science

The venom of the Dual-tail Scorpion did not last long, and perhaps due to the strong resistance of the Ability Users, the toxin in Qi De’s body gradually disappeared.

In the end, he was left with thirty thousand HP, which amounts to about two-thirds lost to the Dual-tail Scorpion’s venomous sting.

The greenish color on Qi De’s body slowly faded, but his face still looked terrible.

This battle could only be described as… a mess.

Four fourth-order superpowers battling a Level 4 Lord only to be this disheveled!

Although these fourth-order ability users admittedly had never really worked together before. Even when they did cooperate, it was in the form of each leading a group of underlings, lacking this kind of personal combat coordination….But regardless of the reasons, they had performed terribly this time.

After all, they were all fourth-order Ability Users, Awakeners! They shouldn’t have had such a battle result.

Not to mention overwhelming or k.o.’ing, they should at least have dominated the Dual-tail Scorpion, right? But the reality was that they were the ones being suppressed! If it weren’t for Shang Heng’s Powered Armor Team stepping in time, they would have been even more embarrassed.

Embarrassing indeed!

Being embarrassed is one thing, but this time, it happened in front of so many people… They were completely shamed!

The few of them reflected briefly and quickly summed up the reason—they all hadn’t given their full effort! Continue reading stories on novelbuddy

Especially this Zhou Long, whose Awakening Ability was a powerful area control ability. The moment he unleashed his Awakening, he could control the Dual-tail Scorpion swiftly. At that point, couldn’t they fight however they wanted?

But Zhou Long didn’t release his Awakening right away.

He probably wasn’t hiding his skills, since everyone knew about this ability, he might just have wanted to save Awakening Energy.

Too bad he didn’t manage to save it—from avoiding the venomous stings, he directly hid in the Black Quicksand he created with his Awakening, which was even less effective than controlling the Dual-tail Scorpion right from the start.

Then, there were Qi De and Huang Wu. Everyone felt that they certainly didn’t use their full strength either. However, since both of their powers were Passive Abilities, even if they were holding back, there shouldn’t be much to hide.

As for Wang Tao… they couldn’t really tell. They had never interacted with Wang Tao before and weren’t familiar with him. They also didn’t know how strong Wang Tao’s Air Bullet damages were, but judging from how the Dual-tail Scorpion roared when hit, the damage shouldn’t have been low…

After the Dual-tail Scorpion was killed, its body released a large cloud of venom fog which enveloped the nearby area.

Using artillery shelling should be able to disperse these venom clouds, but the corpse of the Dual-tail Scorpion might be damaged, so there was no need for such brute force. Besides, the venom fog was slowly dissipating, and they could just wait a while longer.

Gu Yun led some people over, holding a lot of protein blocks and water in their hands.

During the battle, these third-order Ability Users all hid. After all, it was a battle between fourth-orders, and although they were third order or even Tier-3 Peak Ability Users, the gap with fourth-orders was still significant.

Before River Base had a fourth-order superpower, if they wanted to kill a Level 4 Lord, they had to rely either on firepower coverage or human lives…

So they were well aware. In the battle of fourth-orders, they might end up being more of hindrance, so it was better to hide. If things really couldn’t be handled, they could come out in a desperate fight.

But although they had hidden, everyone watched the battle process clearly.

As for a few Awakeners not giving their all, Gu Yun could only say that he was used to it.

In the post-apocalyptic world, with no legal constraints, things like poor cooperation, deliberately hiding abilities, and not trying one’s best were far too common. As long as no one was backstabbing, that was considered a good teammate.

Gu Yun knew Qi De and the others looked upset, definitely because the battle went awry, but another reason was the embarrassment in front of so many people, as everyone cares about face.

However, Gu Yun noticed that Wang Tao seemed quite calm, unlike those three. He wasn’t sure if Wang Tao had held back, or if he really had tried his best…

"Let’s rest first, and replenish some energy,"

Gu Yun spoke up.

"Yeah, let’s wait till it’s safe to go over. I think this venom fog might be deadly to those below Level 4,"

Shang Heng nodded.

No one else objected, so they took the opportunity to eat some food and rest.

Qi De was frantically eating the protein blocks.

He was heavily wounded now; that Dual-tail Scorpion’s sting almost cost him his life. He was the most miserable among them.

Wang Tao had Nie Siyan bring some medical kits.

He didn’t want to expose his Space Backpack, so before coming here, he had Nie Siyan and Xu Xiaojun carry a lot of stuff, and they could take what they needed directly from them.

Wang Tao handed the medical kit to Qi De, the kits he obtained from killing monsters contained potions that restored 100 HP each, and he had also added some Hemostatic Drugs that added 1000 HP. Now, this single medical kit could restore 1100 HP.

For Qi De, who had a hundred thousand blood, 1100 HP wasn’t much indeed, but it was genuinely replenishing.

So after using the medical kit, Qi De immediately brightened up.

"This medicine is miraculous! I can actually feel my wounds healing... is this like Healing ability?!"

Wound recovery was a slow process, usually imperceptible. The last time Qi De felt this was when a Healing ability user had healed him.
