Chapter 265: Golden Mommy! p2
……
Lin Jiayao didn’t know that a deep-sea learning and healing session was taking place in the deep sea where she couldn’t see. Now she was still on her way to hunt blood crystals.
A4, which had experienced that descend and had devoured parts of three A-rank flesh and blood bodies, was no longer an existence that ordinary B-rank zombies could contend with.
In just ten minutes, Lin Jiayao had easily defeated a landed B-rank Black Scaled Deep Sea Fish-Man.
The black scales that the other party relied on for survival were only slightly harder than paper in front of her enhanced bone blades. Even with the other party’s desperate struggle, it only delayed its death by ten minutes.
It couldn’t fight, and it couldn’t run. Fortunately, it was just a mindless B-rank zombie. Otherwise, the fear alone would be enough for it to suffer.
It was a bit of a pity that Lin Jiayao spent a relatively long time killing this B-rank fish-man, which caused it to consume a lot of blood crystals in its body.
In the end, when she devoured its body, its corpse only left behind a dozen or so Blood Crystals, far less than the blood crystal content in its flesh and blood.
For the next four hours, Lin Jiayao continued to slaughter all the blood crystals along the way while heading towards the Extraction Point.
It had to be said that although A4’s speed in slaughtering blood crystals wasn’t as fast as Goldie’s, the sense of exhilaration it brought was something that Goldie couldn’t provide.
Throughout the whole process, Lin Jiayao almost always used A4’s abilities to the fullest, killing and devouring at the same time. Their flesh and blood were enough to replenish the consumption of Lin Jiayao’s body, and the Blood Crystals were stored by Lin Jiayao in the mycelium “backpack” wrapped in black scales on her back.
After a massacre, Lin Jiayao, carrying a backpack with more than thirty Blood Crystals, arrived at a Qingzhou Academy Extraction Point, one hundred and eighty-eight kilometers away from HK International Airport.
The heavy rain had long stopped, and except for many places on the first floor being flooded, other places in Qingzhou Academy basically retained their original appearance.
Because there were no people or zombies, this place hadn’t been destroyed by the seabed zombies, and she could even see some things left behind because of the emergency evacuation.
Standing in Qingzhou Academy again, Lin Jiayao felt a little emotional.
The first time she came to Qingzhou, she didn’t have enough self-preservation ability, and she and her sister, who had just evolved to C-rank, were chased all over Guangnan Province by a crazy prophet.
Until now, Lin Jiayao had several B-rank combat powers and an A-rank Huayibai, and the doomsday prophecy that Wu Hejun mentioned and the other prophets had not appeared.
Facts had proved that these were just the crazy ravings of a mentally ill person. Lin Jiayao had actually been worried about these things for a long time and had even made many preparations.
[Extracting: 7.8]
Sitting on a dry bench in the teaching building, Lin Jiayao quietly waited for the extraction countdown.
After the countdown ended, Lin Jiayao’s consciousness was transported to the dark settlement space, and she saw A4, covered in things, standing in front of her.
She took the things from A4 one by one, including all the Blood Crystals, and put them into the warehouse, including the candy-like egg from the Blue Serpent, which Lin Jiayao also put into the Item Storage Box.
After moving everything, Lin Jiayao exited the settlement space, and her assets increased again.
Now, after this extraction, she had one hundred and thirty-eight Blood Crystals and thirty bags of Blood Crystal Serum – those Blood Crystal Serums were not used at all in the end. It could only be said that the zombies she fought against were too weak.
After glancing at the construction and research in the Hideout, Lin Jiayao nodded slightly.
The Spirit research in the Research Lab still had a little more than five hours left, and the Zombie Loot Box could be upgraded in a little more than two hours.
Log into Mask again, kill for five hours, and both the Zombie Loot Box and the Research Lab could be taken care of.
But before logging in, Lin Jiayao still had something to do.
That was to hatch the Blue Serpent’s egg, establish contact, and ask where the Blood Crystals had been transported to.
If they were almost here, it was time for Huayibai to set off, receive the Blood Crystals, and directly head towards America.
[Please retain your evolution.]
[[1. Adaptive Armor Lv.1 (Gold): Makes your body’s defenses compatible with each other, automatically recording the last attack and evolving targeted defenses.]]
[[2. Lava Black Scales Lv.1 (Purple): Generates black scales on your body surface that can eject flames, consuming blood crystals when burning.]]
[[3. Bone Enhancement Coating Lv.1 (Gold): Enhances all your bone-related evolutions, increasing their destructive power and defense.]]
Bone Enhancement Coating… should be the black patterns that appeared on A4’s bone blades after it swallowed that deep-sea black ball.
This evolution could greatly enhance the attack power of ordinary bone spurs, which was a qualitative leap for ordinary bone-related evolutions.
Both Adaptive Armor and Bone Enhancement Coating seemed much better than Lava Black Scales.
It didn’t matter, there would be opportunities every year, there would be opportunities every year, one day she would be able to choose this cool fire-spewing black scales.
Lin Jiayao hesitated between Bone Enhancement Coating and Adaptive Armor, and finally chose Adaptive Armor.
She didn’t think that Adaptive Armor was necessarily stronger than Bone Enhancement Coating, but it was because Adaptive Armor needed time to “feed”.
Adaptive Armor had growth potential. At the beginning, she had to use a large amount of slightly weaker damage to slowly feed it, so that she could develop stronger and stronger resistance to all kinds of damage.
The more damage types recorded, the stronger the defense.
If she wanted Adaptive Armor to be effective, she had to choose it early. The later she chose it, the more difficult it would be to cultivate it to the point where it could withstand the impact of the current stage of battles.
After comprehensive consideration, Lin Jiayao chose to select Adaptive Armor and take the hits first.
A familiar warm current surged through her body. As the warm current slowly subsided, Lin Jiayao slowly opened her eyes.
It was already late, and the last rays of sunset were about to fade. Kun City was about to enter the night.
This also meant that in America, where Goldie was, dawn was gradually breaking, and Goldie’s evolution would take place during the day with the blazing sun.
After opening her eyes, Lin Jiayao first searched for Huayibai’s location.
Huayibai was no longer lying in her arms, and she didn’t know where she had gone.
After switching through the perspectives of several green bugs, Lin Jiayao finally saw what Huayibai was doing.
Now Huayibai, carrying the large umbrella Lin Jiayao gave her, was chasing after the rolling white furball “Little Black” on the road, while the Black Stem Fungus “Little Yellow” was stumbling and running behind.
The three little mushrooms were chasing and playing on the road. The smallest was only C-rank, and the tallest was already A-rank, but they were still playing like children.
And “Little Yellow”, the Black Stem Fungus, now seemed to no longer be afraid of Huayibai.
It seemed that Huayibai was fulfilling her promise and working, and wasn’t just clinging to her and “sucking” for five hours.
Where were her sister and Kisaragi Mika? They should be back from the ash area by now, right?
Lin Jiayao hooked her finger at the insect chair lying beside her, and the originally lying insect chair stood up, carrying Lin Jiayao and crawling out of the room.
As the insect chair crawled, Huayibai, who was chasing and playing outside, sensed something.
She stopped chasing the small white ball, turned her head and looked in the direction of the house, and quickly ran over. Soon, she met Lin Jiayao, who was sitting on the insect chair and coming out of the villa.
“Mommy!” After seeing Lin Jiayao, Huayibai directly called out sweetly and jumped into Lin Jiayao’s arms.
Reaching out and catching the pouncing Huayibai, Lin Jiayao held Huayibai with her left hand and wiped Huayibai’s face with her right hand: “You’re covered in dirt… you have to wash up later.”
“Okay!” Huayibai nodded, but still didn’t care about her dirty face and directly rubbed against Lin Jiayao’s chest, then raised her head and looked at Lin Jiayao expectantly.
Looking at Huayibai’s expectant expression, Lin Jiayao also knew what she was thinking.
Lin Jiayao reached out, scratched Huayibai’s chin, and praised: “Good job.”
“Hee hee…” Being scratched on the chin by Lin Jiayao’s skillful hand, Huayibai narrowed her eyes comfortably.
Only at this time was Huayibai still as silly as before.
“Where are Sister Xi and the others?” Lin Jiayao rubbed Huayibai’s head with one hand and scratched Huayibai’s chin with the other, and asked.
Huayibai, sitting on Lin Jiayao, shivered under this double attack, and said in a drifting voice:
“They went to the ash area, and said that they could assemble the team today, and they’ll be back tonight…”
Even at the end of her sentence, she added an inexplicable tone word, although it was indeed quite cute.
Holding Huayibai, Lin Jiayao came to the open space outside and had the vines clear out an open area.
She took out the blue, candy-like egg from the Item Storage Box, showed it to Huayibai, and said:
“Sister Blue Serpent?” The familiar aura on the blue egg immediately let Huayibai know whose egg it was.
“Put it over there,” Lin Jiayao said, took out a bag of Blood Crystal Serum from the Safehouse, handed it to Huayibai, and said, “Pour this on it.”
“Okay~” Huayibai took the two items and nodded, jumped down from Lin Jiayao, and ran to the open space ahead.
She first carefully placed the blue egg on the open space, then tore open one end of the Blood Crystal Serum and poured the liquid inside onto the blue egg.
The blue egg absorbed most of the Blood Crystal Serum, but there was still some that flowed onto the ground.
But that Blood Crystal Serum was also quickly absorbed back.
After waiting for a while, the blue egg, besides becoming slightly larger, showed no signs of hatching.
Lin Jiayao took out two more bags of Blood Crystal Serum and threw them towards Huayibai.
Huayibai knowingly caught the two bags of Blood Crystal Serum, tore them open again, and poured them onto the egg quickly.
Finally, after completely absorbing these two bags of Blood Crystal Serum, the blue serpent egg began to swell uncontrollably, quickly expanding to the size of a basketball.
“Pop—”
The blue egg cracked open, and a large amount of translucent blue liquid flowed out along the soft eggshell. A translucent blue serpent, about the length of Lin Jiayao’s arm, lay quietly there, absorbing the eggshell and nutrient solution.
After a while, the Blue Serpent, having finished absorbing, propped up its body, blinked its eyes, spread the bone wings on its back, and looked at Lin Jiayao, tilting its head.
The Blue Serpent slowly crawled towards Lin Jiayao on the ground, completely without its agility in the sea.
“Sister Blue Serpent, I’ll help you.” Huayibai squatted down, grabbed the Blue Serpent’s neck, carried the Blue Serpent to Lin Jiayao, and handed the Blue Serpent to Lin Jiayao.
Lin Jiayao took the newly hatched, somewhat weak Blue Serpent and pressed its head against her forehead.
After a while, a faint blue light lit up, and Lin Jiayao heard the Blue Serpent’s intermittent voice.
Connection, successful.
Can, communicate.
Now~
As the little snake spoke, its tail swayed in the air behind it, seemingly happy to see Lin Jiayao’s main body.
Your, wings, where?
The little snake’s tail curled into a question mark.
“Humans don’t have wings.” Lin Jiayao replied helplessly, then asked, “The things? Have you found them and are bringing them back?”
Almost, there.
One hour.
About the same time as Lin Jiayao’s estimate.
Lin Jiayao put the little snake on her lap and turned to look at Huayibai.
“Are you going to see Golden Mommy?” Huayibai looked at Lin Jiayao, her eyes shining, seemingly even more excited than Lin Jiayao.
Lin Jiayao was previously worried that Huayibai would be unhappy about repeatedly making long trips, but now it seemed that she was overthinking. Huayibai herself seemed to really want to see her little mommy.
“Yes… do you know the location?” Lin Jiayao asked Huayibai while separating a strand of mycelium from her arm.
“I know! Huayibai has been there~” Huayibai nodded confidently.
“Okay.”
Lin Jiayao nodded slightly, and then transformed the separated mycelium into a syringe.
She turned off the Divine Skin Armor defense in her body, inserted the syringe into her arm, drew about 100ml of blood, and stored it in the syringe.
Then, Lin Jiayao exchanged for three more bags of Blood Crystal Serum in the warehouse, took out the remaining twenty-seven bags of blood crystal liquid from the Safehouse, and placed them all on the ground in front of her.
“Eat all of this and recover your strength.” Lin Jiayao said, and after thinking for a while, she directly exchanged for another one hundred bags of Blood Crystal Serum and piled them all in front of her.
“Take all of this and go find Golden Mommy.” Lin Jiayao looked at Huayibai and seriously instructed, “Remember, your safety is the most important. If there is any danger, you can abandon my clone.”
“Do you understand?”
