Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1569 - 658 Spiritual Power Sword Control_2

After reading the attributes of the [Light Feather Short Sword], Wang Tao suddenly understood. No wonder it didn’t have a handguard; it turns out it’s not meant to be held by hand but controlled remotely!

Wang Tao immediately activated it with his Awakening Energy and, with a mere thought, saw the engraved wings on the short sword seem to come to life. Without any visible external force, it floated in mid-air above his palm.

Swish—

The short sword shot directly at a nearby tree, piercing through without any resistance. It continued forward, breaking through several other trees before stopping. The reason it halted wasn’t that it reached its limit, but because Wang Tao’s spiritual control range had reached its limit...

"Amazing!"

Watching the short sword flying chaotically through the air under the control of his spiritual power, Wang Tao burst into laughter.

When he first saw the blueprint for the short sword, he thought it wouldn’t be useful to him.

After all, he primarily wielded a broadsword, and with the powerful attributes of his [Sharp Giant Blade], considered the strongest Level 6 weapon, he didn’t see the need to switch. He figured the short sword would be better suited for someone else.

But now, Wang Tao felt like the [Light Feather Short Sword] was tailor-made for him!

The short sword was controlled by spiritual power, so there was no need to switch weapons. He could wield both weapons simultaneously in battle!

The [Light Feather Short Sword] could freely fly and dance in the air, making it almost impossible for enemies to defend against. Moreover, it didn’t just cause physical damage but came equipped with mental attacks as well!

With Wang Tao’s powerful spiritual capability, multitasking was no problem at all. The enhancement brought by this [Light Feather Short Sword] was no less than the one offered by the [Earth Soul Pearl] he had just acquired.

"Kindness really does pay off!"

Wang Tao couldn’t help but sigh deeply in his heart.

If he hadn’t responded to Red Maple Base’s request for help and personally come over, he would have missed out on all these treasures.

After fiddling with the [Light Feather Short Sword] for a while longer, Wang Tao called out to the Golden Eagle, instructing it to carry the corpse of the mutated dead tree back to the vicinity of Changhe Base.

Previously, the Golden Eagle wasn’t able to lift it due to its roots being deeply embedded underground. Now that it was dead, naturally, there was no longer an issue.

Using disaster-level creature corpses yields the highest return when cultivating Awakening Fruits, so wasting them was out of the question. However, Red Maple Base was far from Changhe Base, making it inconvenient. Therefore, Wang Tao planned to take the corpses of both the mutated dead tree and the mutated bird back, which would also provide Hope Research Institute with valuable research materials.

Although the two were disaster-level creatures, they were dead now, and their Cataclysmic Awakening effects had weakened to Level 5. Additionally, the mutated bird’s Cataclysmic Awakening no longer posed a threat to other living beings once it died. Thus, Wang Tao and the Golden Eagle could endure the mutated dead tree’s lingering Cataclysmic Awakening effects and fly back to Changhe Base without issue.

When the Golden Eagle arrived at Red Maple Base, Wang Tao waited outside with it. Then, he flew into Red Maple Base by himself.

"Mr. Wang!"

Seeing Wang Tao suddenly land at the entrance of City Hall, Han Youlin and the others, who were anxiously awaiting news, immediately rushed over. Their expressions were a mix of excitement and nervousness.

Wang Tao’s speed was so fast that they couldn’t confirm if he had successfully killed the monster. Some even wondered if he hadn’t found it at all...

"The disaster-level mutated dead tree has been dealt with, and there was another disaster-level bird nearby. It too has been eliminated."

Wang Tao stated directly.

Wow—

At first, everyone froze for a moment upon hearing the news. Then, excitement surged through them.

In this life-and-death scenario, Wang Tao obviously wouldn’t joke about such a matter. The disaster-level creature that left them completely helpless had truly been slain by him! Red Maple Base could sustain itself once more!

"On behalf of all survivors at Red Maple Base, I express our gratitude to you!" novelbuddy.cσ๓

Han Youlin’s expression grew solemn as he bowed deeply to Wang Tao.

"It’s nothing."

Wang Tao nonchalantly waved his hand.

At this moment, Liehuo Gang Leader Tu Li Zhen’s beautiful eyes turned toward Wang Tao, her tone uncertain as she asked:

"Mr. Wang, did you just say that another disaster-level creature has also been eliminated?"

"Yes. The mutated bird was far deadlier than the mutated dead tree. Luckily, you didn’t encounter it; otherwise, your deaths would have been certain!"

Wang Tao wasn’t exaggerating. Facing the mutated bird even made him feel a lethal threat—he wasn’t sure he could withstand it himself. If anyone else had encountered it, they would almost certainly have been instantly killed.

"That mutated bird..."

Wang Tao gave them a detailed account of the abilities of both the mutated dead tree and mutated bird, so they would know how to handle them if they ever encountered such creatures again.

"Hiss—"

Upon hearing Wang Tao’s descriptions of the mutated bird, Tu Li Zhen and the others gasped audibly.

Its extremely elusive movements, lightning-fast speed, and dual damage attributes encompassing both physical and spiritual attacks... This combination was horrifying!

They couldn’t even defeat the sluggish mutated dead tree. If they had faced an enemy as unpredictable and untraceable as the bird, Wang Tao’s statement that they’d face certain death wasn’t an exaggeration but an undeniable fact!

Everyone felt a wave of relief, thankful that they had sought help from Changhe Base early, and that Wang Tao had personally come to their aid.

If their request for help had been delayed, or if Changhe Base hadn’t been able to send someone in time, they would likely still be trying to lure away the mutated dead tree. Then, they might have run head-first into the mutated bird, resulting in... total annihilation! Just thinking about it was terrifying.

Seeing the pale faces of the crowd, Wang Tao chuckled and waved his hand casually:
