Chapter 8 [Improved Hard Qigong]

"[Advanced Defense]: Basic defense skills, activated.

Level: Level 3.

Quality: White.

Efficacy: After activation, it can increase the physical defense of the host by 100 points.

Explanation: The protection provided by 100-point defense is roughly equivalent to that of a 25.4mm thick pine board, which can block the penetration of low-speed, low-kinetic energy bullets, but cannot protect against higher-level attacks. "

[Advanced Defense] + White Strengthening Stone + 10 points of source power = [Improved Hard Qigong]

"[Improved Hard Qigong]: Defensive primary skill, activated.

Level: Level 4.

Quality: Green.

Efficacy: After activation, it can increase the physical defense of the host by 200 points.

Consumption: Consume 2 points of source power per minute.In addition, every time you suffer a heavy blow, you will consume an additional 1 points of source power.

Features: Strong protection.

Weakness: Cover door.

Description: After traditional hard Qigong is performed, a type of energy called 'qi' will be condensed in the user's limbs, head and neck, chest and back, etc., which can temporarily increase the muscle density of the user's relevant parts to provide strong physical defense capabilities.

This defensive ability is enough to protect against most ordinary attacks, such as the tearing of beasts' claws and the ordinary claw attacks of low-level alien beasts.

In view of the host's situation, [Swallowing Sky System] specially improved the traditional hard qigong for the host, replacing 'qi' with source force, so that the host can master hard qigong as quickly and best as possible.

Therefore, during the activation of hard qigong, the source power will be consumed all the time, and additional source power will be consumed when the attack power is greater than 100 points.

What the host needs to pay special attention to is that there are places where 'qi' cannot run, and hard qigong also has parts that cannot be protected, such as eyes, navel, anus, etc.

In traditional hard qigong, these parts are called cover doors, which means weak points.

Even improved hard qigong cannot provide protection for these weak points, so the host needs to pay extra attention to protection. "

Yes, Luke thought twice and finally chose to use white strengthening stones to strengthen the basic skill of [Advanced Defense].

Based on his current situation, strengthening this skill can allow for more flexible tactical arrangements, and it can also increase his chances of surviving.

……

After the big mouth of the parasitic monster was broken open, Luke casually popped a copper plate into the big mouth of the parasitic monster.

Eyes, mouth, nose and other parts are generally weak points, and the alien parasitic octopus just happens to parasitize in the mouth of the parasitic monster, which is the weak point among the weak points.

Without the protection of the parasitic monster's lips, the "crispy" parasitic octopus from another world was sent to a state of near-death by Luke, a copper plate that had performed extraordinary feats.

With a miserable whine, the parasitic monster turned over and twitched violently as if it had been struck by lightning.

In just a moment, the alien parasitic octopus emerged from the mouth of the parasitic monster, swinging dozens of bright red tentacles, trying to sneak away quietly.

"We found a low-level devouring beast - a sub-adult parasitic octopus from another world. Do you want to devour it? Yes, no."

There is no need for a system prompt, and it is impossible for Luke to let go of this damn parasitic octopus.

He quickly stretched out his hand, grabbed the parasitic octopus that was trying to slip away, and stuffed it into his mouth and began to chew.

"Host Luke (in human form) devours a sub-adult alien parasitic octopus, gaining 20 points of source power."

From this prompt, Luke got two pieces of information.

The first piece of information was that this alien parasitic octopus was a sub-adult, not a larva as he originally thought.

This difference shows that either the alien parasitic octopuses invaded from other worlds come in all sizes, or the alien parasitic octopuses will grow rapidly after parasitic in the human body.

Judging from the difference between the big mouth monster and these parasitic monsters in front of us, it is more likely that the alien parasitic octopus will grow rapidly.

This is not a good thing for Luke, which means that he will face stronger and stronger enemies.

The second message is that this devouring only gave 20 points of source power, and did not give the sub-adult alien card of the parasitic octopus from another world.

Based on the previous hints, devouring creatures from other worlds can definitely give the source power, but not every time you devour a different beast, you will get a different beast card.

This is normal. Things like cards are so powerful. If you can get a lot of them casually, it seems a bit worthless.

……

The battle ahead was fierce, and in just a short while, the parasitic monsters gnawed away half of the wall of nuts that had emerged.

Luke had no time to waste. He quickly manifested two more pea shooters and let them attack the parasitic monsters around the nut wall. The monsters were only a few steps away and shot hard at the coins.

With two more pea shooters, the efficiency of shooting parasitic monsters doubled. Before the nut wall was eaten up by the parasitic monsters, Luke gained another 20 points of source power.

Adding in a wall of nuts and manifesting a fourth peashooter, Luke continued to efficiently slaughter these mindless parasitic monsters.

After about 3 minutes, Luke killed eight of the ten parasitic monsters. Except for one that fell into the cliff with the parasitic monster, the other seven were swallowed by Luke.

Luke gained a total of 140 points of source power, and manifested a total of 3 nut walls and 5 pea shooters. In addition to the source power consumed by [improved hard qigong] in the middle of the battle, he paid a total of 105 points of source power.

Calculating this, he still has 145 points of source power, which is 35 points more than before the start of this round of battle.

……

Just when Luke thought he could easily get rid of the two remaining parasitic monsters, a change occurred.

A parasitic monster that was larger than the other parasitic monsters suddenly appeared out of the gray mist, and suddenly pounced on the two parasitic monsters that had been gnawing at the wall of nuts.

A second later, it stretched out two thick tentacles into the mouth of the smaller parasitic monster, forcefully pulled out the parasitic monster, and then opened its big mouth to swallow the two.

This process of cannibalism happened so fast that Luke didn't even have time to react before it was over.

He doesn't understand why this is happening, but knows it's certainly not doing him any good.

Sure enough, after only two seconds, the remaining parasitic monster changed significantly.

Several delicate tentacles protruded from its back and front chest, its mouth opened wider, and countless obliquely growing sharp teeth faintly flashed when it opened and closed.

What worried Luke was that originally it only relied on its slimy skin for a low degree of defense, but now scales slowly began to grow on its skin, and it was becoming thicker and thicker.

Moreover, Luke could clearly see that the attack power of this parasitic monster, which had devoured its own kind and started to evolve, had greatly increased.

It can take away nearly 1/4 of the nut wall with every bite, which is much faster than two ordinary parasitic monsters eating together.

And the time it takes to chew the nut wall is greatly shortened, from 5 seconds to 2 seconds.

This means that this more powerful parasitic monster can eat a nut wall in just 12 seconds.

It also means that its attack power has increased 10 times, reaching an astonishing 1000 points.

This level of attack power is far beyond what Luke's [Improved Hard Qigong] with 200 defense points can withstand.

But these are still not the most deadly. The most deadly thing is that this more powerful parasitic monster has obviously not yet evolved.

When it completes all the evolutions, it will have more and thicker tentacles, stronger scale defenses, and stronger teeth attack capabilities.

The situation has taken a turn for the worse, and it has changed from easy to dangerous in an instant. How should Luke respond?
