Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 117 The Role of Ancient Pathogens

Su Ming followed November and moved around in Saixi's body, with thirty antigenic alien insects following behind him.

The sound of footsteps never stopped, it was quite joyful.

On the road, they would occasionally encounter lone pathogenic alien insects. The antigenic alien insects would rush up and surround and beat them, leaving Su Ming with no chance to even fight back.

When they encounter a crystal that can be destroyed, two or three Antigenic Zerg will leave the team and start to violently destroy the crystals. After they have destroyed the crystals, they will quickly catch up with Su Ming's team.

"Were those germs and alien insects born because Ceci suffered from the crystal disease?" Su Ming asked.

"No, they have existed for a long time, but they became more powerful after Ceci was infected by the crystals," November replied.

Along the way, it also answered many of Su Ming's questions.

For example, they cannot leave Ceci's body, so they cannot help other creatures deal with the crystal disease, and they can only clean up the crystals that have almost dissipated the demonic energy to ensure that they do not proliferate.

The Antigen Zerg had no way to deal with the crystals that were full of demonic energy and had strong vitality.

Although each passage in Ceci's body looked similar, Su Ming was still able to remember the complete route and construct a more complete map in his mind. Then, by comparing it with the map provided by Mostiria, Su Ming discovered that the map was generally correct.

As expected of a mysterious businessman who travels all year round, he has a high sensitivity to roads, but his painting skills are not that good.

At a corner, November collided with another Antigenic Zerg.

Su Ming looked over and found that this antigenic alien insect was also relatively small, and might be an important person.

The antigenic alien worms and the bacterial alien worms are just the opposite. The antigenic alien worms seem to be stronger as they get smaller, while the bacterial alien worms are stronger as they get bigger.

Before Su Ming could ask, November took the initiative to introduce the Antigenic Zerg that collided with it:

"This is Dongxue. You were originally the patrol leader of the 238th ring. Now that the 238th ring is occupied, I will temporarily transfer it to the 237th ring."

November didn't care about being knocked down again, and the Antigen Zerg on the opposite side didn't care about being knocked down either. It got up and said:

"November, have you finished the battle? I was just about to lead a team to provide support."

Although there is a leadership relationship between the antigenic alien insects, communication and address are all equal.

"With the help of this human from the ground, it's over." November pulled Su Ming in front of Dong Xue and said, "You can call it spores."

"I know spores. They are a simple form of life, some of which are simpler than us," said Dongxue.

"Don't talk about your boring experiences. Time is running out. Since you are here, come with us to Ring 238. Together we will help the spores and fight against the germ queen."

"Yes."

Dongxue separated half of the team and asked them to continue patrolling, and took the other half to join November's team. Now, behind Su Ming, there were a total of 45 level 25 elite monsters.

If you kill them all, you can at least gain half a level of experience...

The team reorganized and continued to move forward. November and Dongxue followed Su Ming on the left and right. Xiao Hei was held by Su Ming. Zuoemon followed behind and chatted with the antigen alien insects in the newly learned insect language.

November explained to Dongxue why Su Ming came into Saixi's body:
"He's here to look for the turtle."

"turtle?"

"It's the creature that runs very fast."

"So that's a turtle. I remember it." Dongxue said, "That turtle should still be at ring 238. Although it runs very fast, it doesn't know the way and always runs back to where it started. If it weren't for the appearance of the perfect germ queen, it would have been dealt with by my soldiers."

Su Ming smiled awkwardly, thinking that it was a coincidence. If the little turtle died, he would not know how to explain it. Su Ming asked:

"Excuse me, is there any boxes on the turtle's back?"

"Yes, there are some boxes with powerful magical energy. I want to intercept them and give them to Ceci." Dongxue said, "Now it seems that they should be yours. I won't take them away. Otherwise, they will be no different from germs and alien insects."

"Spore, you should have collected a lot of 'Ancient Bacteria'. You can give them to Dongxue. They are rare antigenic alien insects that can deal with 'Ancient Bacteria'." November said, "Maybe it can make you stronger."

Dongxue looked at Su Ming and asked:
"You have 'ancient germs'?"

"Yes, there are many."

"Okay, bring it here, I'll help you deal with it."

After Dongxue finished speaking, the store panel automatically opened in front of Su Ming.

The things inside shocked Su Ming.

First of all, the first thing in the first row is what Su Ming already owns.

Amulet of Evolution, price: 100 Ancient Germs.

Next, those things are not specific objects, they are all attached to the "Amulet of Evolution".

Level 10 Strength Germs: Can be used on the Amulet of Evolution to increase its strength by 1 points and durability by 10 point. Cannot be stacked. Price: Ancient Germs.

Constitution bacteria, agility bacteria, health bacteria, movement speed bacteria, attack speed bacteria, experience value bacteria, cooldown reduction bacteria, damage increase bacteria...

Although there are various germs, the blank-grade Evolution Amulet can only add two attributes. If you want to add more attributes, you must spend extra ancient germs to upgrade the equipment grade. After upgrading, you can add two additional attributes.

Su Ming first spent 20 ancient germs to add 10 points to his physique and spirit respectively. The blank evolution amulet could only purchase level one attribute enhancement.

Then spend 100 Ancient Germs to upgrade the Amulet of Evolution to bronze equipment, and you can purchase the secondary attributes.

If you purchase a secondary attribute with the same function, it will overwrite the previous primary attribute.

"The equipment effect can only affect me, not Xiao Hei and the others, so the damage-type germs are useless. The improvement of basic attributes will be eliminated sooner or later..." Su Ming recalled his gaming experience in the past month. He first spent 50 germs to buy the attribute of +20 movement speed.

Movement speed is very important for any profession. There are few equipments suitable for tamers that increase movement speed. If you want to get a high movement speed, you always have to sacrifice something.

The properties of this amulet can be adjusted by oneself, and Su Ming wants to use it to make up for the weakness in movement speed without weakening his own strength of being relatively tanky.

After increasing the movement speed, Su Ming spent another 50 germs to purchase the +10% cooldown reduction attribute. On the market, equipment with cooldown reduction is very valuable.

After adding the attributes, Su Ming invested another 200 ancient germs to upgrade the Amulet of Evolution to silver equipment:

"This means I've spent 420 Ancient Germs. It seems like 620 Ancient Germs aren't very useful."

After upgrading to silver, you can purchase three additional attributes.

To purchase silver attributes, one attribute requires 100 ancient germs, and Su Ming’s ancient germs are not enough.

For the time being, I purchased two third-level attributes: "+10% experience gained" and "+15% movement speed".

"The maximum attribute in the list can be increased to gold, which means I still need 850 ancient germs. Even if I find the little turtle, I will have to farm more ancient germs here to max out the amulet's attributes. After all, I may not have the chance to enter Saixi's body in the future."
