Chapter 331 Wasteland Dust
The original space of the Ancestral Titan.
Alan sat on the grass by the lake with a heavy face.
Just now, he died once.
The strange fish in the lake used a mental attack similar to "Mind Piercing", knocked him into the water, and then bit off his throat.
After that, Allen felt a will in his heart.
Tell him that he had gone through a death experience in the Origin Space, which reduced his lifespan by a hundred years in exchange for a chance to start over.
When I came to my senses, I found myself sitting by the lake, just like the first time I came into this world, everything was reset to the starting point.
Reducing one hundred years of lifespan means consuming most of the efficacy of the second-level "rejuvenating agent" and the third-level "anti-aging agent".
By this calculation, Allen can still withstand 7 to 8 death penalties in total.
After that, the effects of the anti-aging agent and the rejuvenating agent will be exhausted. Even if you finally succeed in integrating the origin of the Ancestral Titan, you will become an old man after leaving the origin space.
"We must be extra careful from now on. Saving our lives is more important than anything else!"
Alan warned himself in his heart.
After suffering a loss, I learned a lesson.
Alan didn't dare to think about fishing anymore and turned to walk towards the residential area.
Try your luck and try to find food and shelter.
The whole town was shrouded in an eerie silence.
Any weed on the roadside is four or five meters tall.
The grass stem was thicker than Alan’s thigh!
Wild shrubs have grown unusually tall.
The plants reach straight into the sky, and the dense canopy blocks out the sun.
A rustling sound in the grass alerted Alan.
Stop and look back.
An ant as big as a hound was scurrying through the grass, carrying a berry bigger than a pumpkin.
Not far away, an earthworm like a giant python was slowly wriggling, loosening the soil for its home.
Alan held his breath and dared not make a sound.
Now he finally realized how perverted this world is!
It's not just the carp in the lake that have mutated.
Flowers, trees, insects and animals all became extremely large!
Walking in this strange land, I felt like Gulliver who accidentally entered the land of giants.
Alan calmed himself down.
He picked up a thick wooden stick, using it as a self-defense weapon and a walking stick, and continued walking forward with light steps.
Finally, we passed through this primitive jungle-like grassland, and a familiar street scene appeared in front of us.
The streets of the town were almost submerged by wild vegetation.
Most of the buildings on both sides of the street were completely destroyed.
The few surviving buildings were scattered among the ruins, all covered with vines and looking dilapidated.
From the lakeside pier to the once prosperous market town, everything was immersed in deathly silence, without a trace of life.
Alan noticed that there were huge footprints left on the street.
Some of them look like the traces of human bare feet, except that they are ten times larger than normal.
More footprints show the characteristics of the claws of wild animals and birds.
Could it be that this abandoned town is still inhabited by giants or gigantic birds and beasts?
quack--
A hoarse and shrill cry interrupted Alan's thoughts.
Looking up, I saw a big crow standing on the rooftop of an abandoned building not far ahead.
Its huge size and arrogant aura make it look very much like a black dragon.
The crow cawed twice more, then suddenly flapped its wings and flew away.
Alan raised his hand to block the strong wind blowing in his face.
I watched the giant crow disappear into the dusk-stained sky and breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to the strange fish that cannot get ashore, this strong and swift mutant crow poses a greater threat to him.
Alan vaguely remembered that the building where the crow had roosted before was the largest supermarket and gas station in town.
The refueling facilities have long been abandoned.
You might even find something to eat in the supermarket.
With this thought in mind, Alan held his cane tightly and approached the building cautiously.
The first floor was overgrown with weeds and the shelves were empty.
The doors and windows on the second floor had been demolished long ago, and nothing valuable was found.
Alan returned to the first floor and found a staircase leading to the basement.
When I went downstairs
There was a sign painted on the door saying "Restricted warehouse area, no entry for unauthorized persons".
Alan grasped the door handle and tried to shake it.
Unfortunately, with his current strength, he couldn't even open the locked security door.
Alan stood in front of the door, pondered for a moment, and then came up with an idea.
The super-limited field is opened, and a colorful ball of light appears above the head.
Alan silently activated the "Origin of Annihilation" and locked his target on the lock of the security door.
The origin of annihilation can decompose all non-living matter.
Even though the anti-theft door lock is strong, it cannot withstand erosion.
In less than ten seconds, the lock core was decomposed into raw dust.
Snap...
Alan pushed hard to open the heavy iron door.
The dim underground warehouse exuded a pungent stench.
Even though he had lost the Taotie system, Alan was still able to conclude from his experience that the warehouse was full of deadly viruses!
Fortunately, the divine power is still there, making us immune to all viruses in the world.
Alan walked into the basement carefully.
A strange corpse, lying on its back in front of the stairs, blocked his way.
The corpse had long since decayed and dried up.
The torso is abnormally large, but the hands and feet are thin and short.
Alan walked over and measured it.
The corpse's hands and feet were confirmed to be normal human size.
It looked like an ordinary person's hands and feet were transplanted onto the torso of an ogre, which was extremely uncoordinated.
Alan lowered his head and looked closely.
Sure enough, the leg bones of the corpse showed signs of fracture.
The fragile legs cannot support the huge and heavy body.
The chest and abdominal cavities of the corpse were empty.
The outward expansion angles of the bones and muscle fibers, as well as the radial distribution of old bloodstains, all indicate one thing...
This deformed giant exploded before his death.
It was as if someone had planted a time bomb in his stomach.
Alan initially thought that this was the cause of death of the deformed giant.
However, after taking two steps forward, the newly discovered clues made him change his initial judgment.
The giant's head has turned into a skeleton covered with skin and bones.
There is a thumb-sized hole on the right temple.
Alan searched the area and found a dusty pistol.
The bullets are empty.
From this we can see that the deformed giants were mostly tortured by the pain caused by the ever-expanding pressure in their bodies, which led to their collapse of will and eventually they shot themselves.
Alan walked past the giant's corpse and continued searching forward.
Not far away, in the dark corner, two corpses were found curled up together.
The skeletons were wearing skirts and were short in stature. They looked no older than ten years old and seemed to be a pair of little sisters.
Alan looked back at the deformed giant again, thoughtfully.
Judging from the clues at the scene, a family of three should have taken refuge in the supermarket warehouse.
However, the father seemed to be infected with a virus and his body began to mutate uncontrollably.
In order to end the pain and also to protect his daughter, he chose to shoot himself.
However, his death could not stop the corpse from mutating.
Finally it exploded with a bang!
The flying flesh and bones like shrapnel killed the two little sisters.
A family of three met a tragic end in the desperate situation at the end of the world.
Alan sighed softly and activated the "Origin of Annihilation", decomposing the bones of the father and his two daughters into invisible material dust.
In the warehouse, there are rows of boxes piled up, all of which are the supermarket's inventory.
Alan was only interested in food.
Found a box of canned luncheon meat.
Wipe off any dust on the can and check the production date.
2022?
In other words, these were cans produced the year before he traveled through time.
There was half an inch of dust on the can, and it looked like it had been stored for at least ten years.
So, the time point I am currently in is about ten years after the time travel?
Alan frowned.
Canned food that was manufactured more than ten years ago should have expired long ago.
I opened it and smelled it, and there didn't seem to be any peculiar smell.
Anyway, you are immune to the virus, so just eat it. Filling your stomach is the most important thing!
Without the gluttony system, Allen's appetite returned to normal levels.
I ate a box of canned luncheon meat and felt the long-lost feeling of fullness.
While burping, he continued to count the inventory.
Fortunately, I found another box of red wine.
Pull out the cork and ton ton ton...
Cheap red wine in glass bottles has long passed its tasting period, and its sour taste is more like vinegar.
But Alan didn't mind.
At least it can quench your thirst and is nutritious.
Most of the other food, such as bread, biscuits, cheese, etc., had become moldy, but Alan was reluctant to throw them away.
If you can't find fresher food, you'll have to eat moldy biscuits and cheese as a last resort.
Anyway, you are immune to all diseases and toxins, so you don’t have to worry about diarrhea.
…
the next day.
Alan ended his meditation.
Reawaken the ogre bloodline.
At the same time, the fusion progress of the Origin of the Ancestral Titan increased to 10%.
From this we can see that choosing to awaken the giant bloodline is the right path.
Starting from an ogre, going through hill giants, stone giants, frost giants, fire giants, cloud giants and storm giants, and finally advancing to a Titan giant!
However, there is still a problem here.
Alan's current ogre bloodline is only 5% pure, and its quality is only average.
The blood purity must be raised to at least 7% to have a chance to evolve into a hill giant.
Now that he no longer has the Taotie system and potential, how can he improve the purity of his bloodline?
Alan had no idea what to do for now and could only take things one step at a time.
Ogre bloodline, promoted to junior apprentice, physical attribute +1, natural armor +1.
Unexpectedly, a trick was awakened.
0 ring "repair".
Alan remembered that when he first awakened his ogre bloodline in reality, he did not gain any spells.
I was lucky this time.
Alan walked to the door of the underground warehouse.
Spend 1 magic point to cast "Repair" on the door lock.
Repair the lock core that was previously damaged by yourself.
In this way, you can lock the security door and go to sleep at night, which is more secure.
After casting the spell, Alan still had 11 magic points left.
For a novice warlock apprentice, the upper limit of magic power is equal to the spiritual attribute.
From this we can see that my current spiritual attribute is only 12.
This is the original spiritual attribute .
This is consistent with his muscular and simple-minded style.
Alan sighed.
It takes 20 magic points to cast a "Wish" spell.
My pitiful magic power is not even enough to cast a wish spell. It is too weak.
The warlock apprentice does not yet have the ability to revert to his ancestral form and transform.
Alan felt that his strength had not improved much.
It is not suitable to go out now to explore the ruins of Kang Town, which seems peaceful on the surface but is actually full of dangers.
So should we go back to the lake shore and seek revenge on the mutant fish?
Allen needs to make a careful assessment.
Although his warlock level was reset to zero, all the meditation methods that Alan had learned were completely preserved in his memory.
Of course, he chose the most efficient "distracted meditation method".
Level 1 distraction meditation, providing level 2 mental resistance.
Can this level of mental resistance withstand the mental attacks of the strange fish in the lake?
Alan was not absolutely sure.
He doesn't want to suffer another setback and shorten his life by a hundred years.
To be on the safe side, Alan suppressed the idea of hunting the strange fish and continued to practice hard.
The underground warehouse is secluded and safe, and there is plenty of food.
Domestic waste and excrement, including stains on clothes, can be decomposed into harmless raw materials by "annihilation of the origin".
In this world full of unknown crises and mysteries, it is a perfect refuge for secluded practice.
Alan made up his mind to emulate the "Shilipo Sword God"!
Unless you are absolutely sure, never take risks!
…
Seven days passed in a flash.
Alan was promoted to senior apprentice.
The ogre bloodline with low mental growth actually has a day when it comes to bad luck.
This time the upgrade increases the physical and mental attributes by +1 each!
There is a lot of randomness in the warlock upgrade process, so there is no need to make a fuss about it.
Now, Alan has 26 magic points available every day.
I couldn't wait to use the "prayer technique" to try to communicate with the gods and find out the whereabouts of Dr. Allen.
Unfortunately, no response was received.
Alan had no choice but to give up and face reality.
There are no other gods in this world.
…
the next day.
Alan, who was ready, walked out of the underground warehouse.
He had a baseball bat on his shoulder and a bundle of cables in his hand.
At the end of the rope, there was a large rusty iron hook tied securely.
The kind of iron hook that butchers use to hang pork carcasses.
Allen brought these equipments and came to the Finger Lakes again.
Open a can of luncheon meat and hang it on a hook to use as bait.
Swish!
He threw the iron hook into the lake with all his strength , splashing waves on the water surface.
Alan tied the other end of the cable to a tree by the lake.
Wait patiently for the fish to bite.
Soon, a string of bubbles appeared near the iron hook.
There was a huge black shadow approaching vaguely underwater.
Alan hid behind a tree and cast a "wish spell" to simulate an "extremely effective freezing ball".
BANG!!
A pale ball of ice exploded beneath the water's surface.
In an instant, the strange fish, the iron hook and the surrounding lake water were all frozen in a huge ice ball.
The density of the ice ball is less than that of the lake water, and half of it floats above the water.
Through the ice, one can clearly see a mutant giant fish completely sealed in the ice ball, which is six meters long from head to tail.
Alan rubbed his hands, gripped the cable, and pulled hard.
With the help of the buoyancy of the water surface, the huge ice ball was dragged back to the shore.
He raised the stick high with both hands and kept hitting the puck.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The dull knocking sounds, accompanied by flying ice chips, echoed on the dock.
It took Alan ten minutes to break the puck.
The strange fish was frozen solid and had no breath left.
Out of caution, Alan swung the baseball bat and smashed the strange fish's head, then he felt relieved and went forward to check.
A thumb-sized transparent crystal was embedded in the frozen brain of the strange fish.
Alan initially thought it was a block of ice, but when he got closer he sensed a strong fluctuation of magical power.
He took out a small knife found in the supermarket's basement warehouse, pried the crystal out of the brain, wiped it clean, and observed it carefully.
This transparent crystal contains abundant magical power, similar to the "Mind Magic Stone" in the warlock world.
It's a pity that Alan is not a psychic and cannot absorb the magic power stored in the crystal.
Alan put the crystal in his pocket and continued to dissect the strange fish.
Many strange tissues were found in its body.
Even though it was frozen stiff, it had not lost its vitality.
When he touched these strange flesh and blood, or rather, single-celled organisms that had aggregated into a mass...
There were actually spikes protruding from the surface of the tissue, trying to invade his body.
Mutated cells chose the wrong target to parasitize.
As soon as it penetrated into Allen's body, it was killed by his powerful virus immunity.
Allen shrugged his shoulders and expressed regret for this suicidal behavior.
Cut off a piece of mutant fish meat and put it directly into your mouth to chew.
Relying on his divine physique that is immune to viruses, he enjoys fresh chilled fish sashimi without any burden.
After filling his stomach, Alan was delighted to find that the progress bar of the original Titan's fusion had increased a little.
How much exactly?
Ten zeros after the decimal point.
One in a hundred billion!
If the Titan Progenitor's origin fusion progress is to be increased to 100%, he will have to eat 100 billion of the same mutant monster fish.
Even if we eat ten fish every day, it would take 5.5 million years.
What's more, he no longer has the Taotie system.
Even if he were to die of fullness, he couldn't eat ten mutant fish a day.
After a little calculation, Alan felt a headache.
It is impossible to achieve the goal of perfectly integrating the essence of the original Titan in one's lifetime simply by eating mutated monsters.
A more efficient fusion method is bloodline evolution.
When Alan awakened the ogre bloodline, the origin fusion progress bar soared to 10%!
According to this rule, if one can evolve into the bloodline of a hill giant, the progress of origin fusion will be greatly improved.
