Chapter 439: Chapter 197 Super Berserker_2

Wang Tao wielded the Bone Knife and chopped at a steel bar.

Bang!

Although the steel bar didn’t break, a notch appeared directly on it!

And the Bone Knife was unscathed, with no loss in durability.

Wang Tao chopped again, this time using the High-frequency Vibration Ability.

Crack~

The thumb-thick steel bar was directly chopped into two sections!

“Top quality!”

Wang Tao was very satisfied.

He had always been saying he hadn’t found a suitable weapon, especially when he was using Entangling Roots; the Firefighter Axe couldn’t be used at all.

But this Bone Knife was substantial, and it seemed to match his root armor perfectly!

More importantly, with this Bone Knife in hand, Wang Tao could now use his High-frequency Vibration Ability at any time, which would significantly boost his attack power!

After swinging it a few times in the room, Wang Tao put away the Bone Knife contentedly.

The third Loot Pack that the “Huang Heng” zombie dropped was also a Running Potion.

[Obtained: Running Potion (Medium) x10]

10 bottles of medium-sized Potion, not bad either.

Next were the Loot Packs dropped by the “Nie Siyan” zombie, also three packs.

The first, a Crystal Core Gift Bag along with one Crystal Core it naturally carried, totaled five.

They were a Purple [Level 3 Crystal Core – Omnipotent], a Blue [Level 3 Crystal Core – Athlete], a Purple [Level 3 Crystal Core – Throwing Mastery], a Red [Level 3 Crystal Core – Stealth], a White [Level 3 Crystal Core – Rejuvenation], and the last one, a Red [Level 3 Crystal Core – Position Switch].

There were no Ascension crystal cores this time, and Wang Tao had seen most of the other crystal cores before, but the last Crystal Core was new to him.

[Level 3 Crystal Core – Position Switch]

[Quality: Excellent (80%)]

[Purity: 40% (Side effect: reduced attack and defense)]

[Position Switch: Within a certain range, select a large creature and bind it for ten minutes. Within these ten minutes, you can consume a large amount of energy to swap positions with it, but the swap must not exceed this range. The ability can be used up to five times within ten minutes, and there is a chance of failure. The probability of failure is related to the spiritual power of the target. After ten minutes, Position Switch cools down for 1 hour.]

This crystal core was clearly the same ability that the “Nie Siyan” zombie used to suddenly replace Nie Siyan, then suddenly swap her back again.

Looking at the description, this Position Switch Ability was quite impressive. A direct swap with the target’s position!

It would definitely be effective in critical moments.

For instance, if there is a zombie in a place that is inaccessible to attacks, can’t you just switch places to allow everyone to attack it?

Or what if an enemy Ability User is hiding in a crowd and can’t be attacked, and then you use this Ability to swap them out?

Or can you set a trap in advance, switch positions with a zombie or an Ability User, and get them into the trap?

All of this seems doable!

Of course, this Ability is not invincible.

First, when you swap with someone, you are basically swapping someone else into their position. For example, if you swap with a zombie, you’ve taken it out of the horde, but the person being swapped has gone into it. If that person cannot avoid the danger, then it becomes a one-time-use Ability.

Then there’s the side effect; both attack and defense are reduced significantly… a true tool person. Of course, Wang Tao could find a way to remove this side effect, but not the other restrictions of the Ability.

For example, it only works within a certain range, you can only bind for ten minutes, it can only be used five times, and it requires a significant amount of energy each time. And most importantly, it can fail, with the failure rate depending on the spiritual power of the target, etc.

The existence of these limitations means that Position Switch is destined to be a trick up one’s sleeve, but not a divine technique.

Wang Tao suspected that the zombie chose Nie Siyan probably because Nie Siyan had weak spiritual power…

Of course, even with all the restrictions, the Ability itself is still decent.

If he has a chance to obtain two more Position Switch Crystal Cores later and can remove the side effects, Wang Tao thinks it would be worth training someone with high defense to merge with this crystal core, creating a tool person capable of swapping positions with the enemy…

Wang Tao continued to inspect the loot.

The second Loot Pack dropped by “Nie Siyan” zombie contained potions.

[Obtained: Mental Boosting Potion x10]

[Mental Boosting Potion: After injection, the spirit will receive a certain degree of permanent enhancement.]

Without a second thought, Wang Tao began injecting himself in the arm.

You can never have too much of this stuff; if he could use it, he would.

After spending some time injecting, Wang Tao felt as if his head had been washed with clean water, all fatigue gone. Most importantly, the aftereffects of the hallucinations caused by that Level 4 Monster Lord were gone!

“Much better!”

Wang Tao took a deep breath and then looked at the last Loot Pack. It contained throwing weapons.

[Obtained: Excellent Steel Throwing Knife x30]

[Excellent Steel Throwing Knife: Throwing weapon, Attack +20]

This throwing weapon was much stronger than the previous Surgical Knives! Surgical Knives added no attributes, while this Throwing Knife directly added 20 attack points. The power of a throw with this knife probably wouldn’t fall short of Wang Tao’s own attack. Moreover, unlike the Surgical Knife, this Throwing Knife wasn’t fragile and could be used repeatedly!

If that zombie had been throwing these knives then, things could have gotten complicated. But who knew it had no brains, instead attacking Jiang Shixue directly.
