Chapter 1353: Chapter 593: The Assault of Kun Peng_3

[The Demon Scorpion was powerless under the dual constraints of you and the Bone Dragon, forced to watch as you slowly sliced away at its health with a blunt knife, until its life hit zero...]

[You deliver the final blow, slaughtering the blood-sucking Demon Scorpion...]

[You unleashed ’Annihilation of Order’, triggering the Order’s Lock on all the young scorpions nearby, each receiving damage far exceeding their life limits. Amidst the dense screams, the throngs of young scorpions lay scattered on the ground, motionless.]

[You killed the blood-sucking young scorpion.]

[You killed the blood-sucking young scorpion.]*246

...

"That’s the stuff!"

Mu You watched the in-game killing notifications fill the screen and let out a long sigh of relief.

Nothing is more stress-relieving than a screen filled with loot from a single sweep of the battlefield.

At the same time, he grew to appreciate the tenacity of the Order alignment even more.

The scorpions at hand were not only toxic, but they also had high defenses, thick health bars, the ability to leech health, and they were social creatures, popping out en masse when attacked—one of the least desirable types of creatures for players to face.

Any other godly alignment would likely fail to mount a counter-attack in such a situation, surrounded by dense numbers of creatures. Getting away unscathed would be considered a good outcome.

But with the Order alignment, it only took two simple moves to clear the field without injury!

Lone Fight + Annihilation of Order, one is the bane of the Zerg Strategy, and the other a group harvesting skill. When used together, they are tailor-made to handle groups of demons led by one large creature.

After appreciating the settlement screen for a dozen seconds, Mu You finally controlled his character to move forward and collect the spoils.

[You have refined the body of the blood-sucking Demon Scorpion, obtaining 79 Divine Crystals, 1 blood-sucking Tail Needle, and 2 Demon Scorpion Shells.]

[Title of miser triggered, you’ve refined an additional 8 Divine Crystals.]

After finishing the refinement, Mu You momentarily ignored the young scorpions littered on the ground and hurriedly dismantled the Poisonous Velvet Knife, placing it into the Synthesis Furnace, along with the freshly obtained blood-sucking Tail Needle, as well as the four Tail Needles he had acquired previously.

[You have placed 1 Poisonous Velvet Knife and 5 blood-sucking Tail Needles into the Synthesis Furnace.]

[Material compatibility 91%, there is a very high probability the Poisonous Velvet Knife will receive a significant upgrade, with a very low probability of a mediocre upgrade. Do you confirm the synthesis?]

91!

Mu You was pleasantly surprised. He had guessed that the materials from this kind of scorpion might have higher compatibility, but he didn’t expect it to be this high!

A very high probability, and the prompt for a ’significant upgrade’ made a huge difference from the previous descriptions of ’minor improvement’ or ’slight upgrade’.

"Synthesize!" Mu You confirmed decisively.

[Synthesis in progress, estimated to complete in ten minutes...]

As synthesis required a bit of time, Mu You took the opportunity to gather and refine the young scorpions on the ground.

These young scorpions were only one-star, providing 1-2 Crystals each, but their sheer numbers meant a lot. In the end, including the Demon Scorpion’s share, he refined a total of 396 Crystals from this wave, equating to four to five times the income of hunting an ordinary five-star creature!

After adding his recent harvest of Divinity, Mu You’s Divinity savings exceeded the 2000 mark for the first time, reaching 2120.

After happily sharing the Divinity with the Bone Dragon, the synthesis was nearly complete. Mu You was just about to check the results when an unexpected prompt popped up first.

[While you were counting your ’huge gains’, a bird’s hoof beat suddenly echoed from the clouds above.]

[Curious, you took out the Fog-breaking Mirror and looked into the sky, only to see a vast shadow emerge from behind the clouds.]

[This seemed to be some kind of giant bird, circling in the clouds. Judging by its silhouette, this bird’s wingspan was dozens of times wider than that of the Bone Dragon; its shadow easily covered the low hill beneath your feet...]

[After circling in the sky for several rounds, the giant bird suddenly halted above you and began diving in your direction...]

"Crap, a bird bigger than a mountain?" Mu You was both confused and impressed.

In the world of the Titans, the size of a creature often correlates to its strength. A bird dozens of times larger than the Bone Dragon—what star level would that creature be?

And why on earth would such a creature suddenly set its sights on him? What had he done to deserve this?
