Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 129 Source Crystal, Level Blood
As the two-meter-long war hammer was swung, a spray slowly sprayed out from the end of the hammer head.

This was originally a passive skill of the Warhammer, but Zheng Yanying pressed the button to actively spray the holy spring water in the backpack box.

The water mist fell on the heads of the five people behind him, forming a layer of fine water droplets on the surface of their sealed armor.

Like a protective shield, it effectively isolates this place from the sudden increase in spiritual pollution.

After the chaotic screams that were buzzing in their heads disappeared, everyone gradually came to their senses and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zheng Yanying then said in a deep voice:

“I didn’t expect there would be traces of a third-level king here.”

Lin Feng frowned slightly. Although the whispers in his head had become louder in an instant, they were not yet unbearable. Unlike the others, he did not hold the level 3 helmet on his head in pain.

The reason why it can be effectively reduced, in addition to the slightly hot second-level emblem on the chest, is the system's shielding.

So Lin Feng's thoughts were not affected, and he soon realized that Zheng Yanying's voice was much louder than before and had returned to normal.

So he took the lead and asked:
"Is it safe to be near the traces of a third-level king?"

Zheng Yanying looked at Lin Feng with some surprise. Before setting off, she had received the mission information given by the bishop, which included the background check of Lin Feng's team members.

As the team leader, Lin Feng himself has a detailed introduction of thousands of words.

Father Suan described him as smart and calm. In addition to his high potential firearms skills, he was also meticulous and a natural warrior and leader.

The only pity is that he did not use the power of the Holy Spring to achieve cross-level evolution, and eventually embarked on the evolution path of the Rockhorn Horse. The upper limit of his future evolution is only about the second level.

But it is precisely because of this that the bishop hopes that Lin Feng can take over the rock hornbear industry in Farm Village, Oasis Town after eradicating the cancer of the Li family.

Firstly, the opponent's strength can ensure the safety and stability of Oasis Town. Secondly, Lin Feng's genes have been contaminated by the rock-horned horse, and he will never be able to advance to the third level in this lifetime. Even the late second level is very slim, so the threat he poses to the Oasis is less than half of the current threat to the Li family.

But unfortunately, the other party is not interested in this.

I want to go to the holy city to develop.

But if you think about it, it is understandable. After all, he is an evolver who has awakened the ability to use firearms.

Even if one only has the strength of the early second stage, one can still possess a transcendent identity and status, which is far beyond what this remote oasis town can give.

Seeing that Lin Feng not only had sufficient resistance to the aggravated mental pollution, but was also the first to realize the changes in the current situation...

Zheng Yanying nodded and replied with a hint of emotion:

"Indeed, the presence of a third-order king is, in a sense, the source of contamination. Near it, even the aberrations will be contaminated again, turning into a wriggling mass of flesh."

"So, where spiritual pollution suddenly intensifies, evolved aberrations won't dare to approach. They'll be afraid of the higher source of pollution."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly reacted:
"It's just like the holy spring water you sprayed. The power of the Holy Spring Master can resist this kind of pollution."

Zheng Yanying hummed:

"But it won't last long. Given the current intensity of the pollution, one spraying will only last five minutes at most."

"We now have two options. One is to retreat, bypass the source of contamination created by this hibernation capsule, and then head in another direction. The other is to continue exploring, as a Steppenwolf corpse has already been found here, and there's a high probability that there are more."

At this time, the other four people gradually regained their consciousness. Shen Yue was the least affected and immediately said:

"Since the holy spring water can isolate spiritual pollution, let's continue exploring. When it fails, we can consider withdrawing. Anyway, there are no attacks from the aberrants, so at least we don't have to search nervously anymore."

Lin Feng asked another question:

"The red crystal we just found inside the wolf's corpse is its life essence?"

Zheng Yanying nodded, without hiding anything, and took out the red translucent gem from her waist pouch. When it was illuminated by the searchlight, it shone brightly and looked a little weird.

"This is the Originium that has been transformed and concentrated after the baptism of time and the gradual death of evolutionary cells."

"It can also be called source crystal."

"Just like crystals precipitating from salt water, the source substance will gradually solidify, but only the surface will harden. The inside will still be a gel that can be absorbed by living things."

Zheng Yanying quickly introduced:

"The effectiveness of using it is actually much lower than the evolution agent extracted directly from fresh evolutionary meat. After all, most of the energy is stored in the evolutionary cells. Only after the evolution is completed and paired with the corresponding evolutionary meat can the strength be steadily improved."

"Source crystals are like compressed coal or oil; the energy released is only half that of the original material." "But for this mission, it's more than enough."

"We still need to collect nine first-level essences and one second-level wild wolf essence."

Everyone nodded, realizing that the source crystal in front of them was the greatest treasure of this ruins mission.

After understanding the situation, Lin Feng immediately made a decision:

"Then stay and continue exploring."

"After all, the closer you are to the pollution source, the more wolf carcasses you'll find there. Going to other safe places is also risky, but the chances of finding wolf carcasses are much lower."

Zheng Yanying nodded:

"That's right. Although there are few hunting teams and wanderers coming to explore the ruins below the negative third floor, they are basically all extremely powerful teams. Even if there are wolf corpses, the essence inside has long been mined away."

"If we want to complete the mission quickly, we have to go deeper into the forbidden area where the environment is even more harsh and dangerous."

As he spoke, Zheng Yanying, like Lin Feng, looked at the other four people in the team.

Seeing that the two captains had reached a consensus, Shen Yue and others could only nod in agreement and follow them deeper, even if they had other objections.

Zheng Yanying then swung the war hammer and sprayed nearly one liter of water mist again, covering the team, including herself, with the holy spring water.

"This will last for ten minutes. A-Lian and I will be in one group, Lin Feng will take A-Ming, and Chen Shanshan will take Shen Yue. We'll split into three groups to speed up the search!"

After reinforcing the protective cover, Zheng Yanying spoke and made the most reasonable arrangements.

Everyone nodded, and relying on the protection of the power of the Holy Spring, they began to search for the wolf corpse.

As everyone went deeper, the light from the searchlights on their chests gradually became distorted.

The tens of thousands of lumens of light emitted by the wick were distorted by the strong radiation nearby, and the light flickered with the crackling of the circuit.

In such a strange atmosphere, everyone felt a strong mental pressure, as if some invisible danger was quietly approaching.

The whispers in my ears gradually deepened, but under the protection of the outer layer of holy water, they were no longer so intense.

While enduring various strange visions, fortunately, they did not gain nothing. They soon found the second wasteland wolf corpse, and this one was even bigger, about seven or eight meters long.

It should be a mid-stage first-level wasteland wolf.

The source crystal found in its body was also larger than the previous one, about the size of a thumb.

Just when a few people were rejoicing over their harvest...

Chen Shanshan and Shen Yue, who were searching a warehouse not far away, suddenly let out a cry of surprise!
"So many dead bodies..."

"Holy crap, it's still moving!"

The other four rushed over after hearing the news.

With the six searchlights shining, the warehouse of hundreds of square meters instantly became bright.

In the huge warehouse, there were countless dried-up bodies kneeling densely, and in the direction where they were kneeling, there was a pool of dark red liquid that was still wriggling.

"Third level blood?!"

Zheng Yanying's face changed and she exclaimed in a low voice.

At this moment, Lin Feng noticed that the water droplets on the holy water protective layer on Shen Yue and Chen Shanshan were evaporating rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye...

But the two of them were unaware.

Danger! !
Lin Feng hurried forward and pulled the two out of the warehouse door.

He closed the half-open door.

"Give them some water!"

After rescuing the two, Lin Feng shouted to Zheng Yanying.
