Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 85 Experience Value

As the breath of the infected person gradually disappeared, a heat current flowed back into Sun Hang's body along the hyphae, allowing Sun Hang to quickly recover - Sun Hang did not feel that he had gained any new abilities, but the upper limit of the "blue bar" seemed to have increased slightly.

This feeling is very mysterious and it is difficult to describe it in words. It is as if Sun Hang's field of consciousness has expanded slightly, unlocking some areas that were once unreachable.

For the entire field of consciousness, this expansion can only be regarded as a "mosquito leg", but no matter what, it is still a real enhancement.

This gave Sun Hang a feeling as if he was playing an RPG game - the monsters he swallowed would turn into his own experience points, and when the experience points accumulated to a certain level, the quantitative change would naturally lead to a qualitative change.

In gaming terms, that's called "leveling up."

As for gaining Tai Sui's abilities after devouring it, it is equivalent to the rare item "skill book" dropped by the BOSS.

……

The dramatic changes outside the supermarket attracted the attention of the other two thugs. Just as they turned around, Sun Hang flashed out from behind the shelf and shot each of them with a large-caliber hunting pistol.

A bloody hole the size of a bowl was opened on the sturdy man's vest, and half of the skinny man's chest was torn apart. His broken arm was thrown out and hung on the shelf more than ten steps away.

Both men died instantly—they didn't even see what the person who killed them looked like.

Sun Hang put the pistol back into the holster, rubbed his palms which were numb from the recoil, and let out a long sigh.

This thing is still effective against ordinary humans.

He walked out of the supermarket quickly and ran to the huge pit - all the mycelium had been pulled out, leaving only a broken human skeleton lying at the bottom of the pit. Looking around, there were traces of corrosion everywhere caused by the infected person's blood.

Sun Hang noticed that although the skeleton still generally maintained a human shape, many parts had mutated and many bones were deformed, especially in the chest cavity. The twelve pairs of ribs that humans should have had completely disappeared, and were replaced by a pair of curved bone plates, which acted like armor, firmly protecting the internal organs.

There are many round holes of different sizes on this pair of bone plates. Combined with the previous image of this infected person, these holes should be used to accommodate those tubular neoplastic organs.

"This guy's body should be very different from that of a normal person..." Sun Hang muttered, "This blood is more powerful than aqua regia. A container that can hold this substance should have excellent corrosion resistance... It's a pity, it would be great if I could absorb this ability."

Just as Sun Hang was thinking this, he found that his arms seemed to be a little itchy. He looked down and found that a thin layer of stratum corneum had formed on the surface of his skin at some point, and it felt like tough cowhide.

"what?"

Sun Hang was stunned for a moment, and the stratum corneum on his arm quickly disappeared, replaced by a finger-thick white mycelium surface.

The mycelium of Tai Sui itself also has a certain degree of corrosion resistance, but it is not completely resistant. The reason why the giant cocoon just now spurted blood was because the surface was corroded by blood and a large number of gaps and holes were formed - but the mycelium still relied on its extremely powerful proliferation ability to fill these gaps and holes. This prevented the infected person from breaking out of the cocoon and was forcibly "digested" until only bones were left.

Sun Hang tried to let the mycelium go into the pit and get contaminated with a little blood of the infected person - sure enough, the mycelium covered with the "stratum corneum" was completely immune to the corrosion of the infected person's blood. When Sun Hang threw the drop of blood to the ground, accompanied by a slight "hiss", a shallow pit was instantly corroded on the originally intact ground.

"That's right, I don't need to absorb this guy's abilities at all..." Sun Hang nodded secretly, "As long as my 'blue bar' is long enough, I can 'simulate' all of them..." Thinking of this, Sun Hang suddenly stopped.

He discovered something that was extremely terrifying when he thought about it carefully.

Is there a possibility that your true ability is not the Taotie's "devouring" but the ability to "make your wishes come true"?

This ability is most likely derived from "rule-based weird things", and the dimension to which rule-based weird things belong is obviously higher than that of entity-type C weird things like "Taotie"...

Before Sun Hang became a hunter, he did not show any abilities related to "devouring".

Perhaps it's just because he thinks he can become stronger by devouring monsters, so he gains devouring abilities similar to Taotie.

It was not because Taotie had once devoured the strange creature with the ability to "make wishes come true" that Sun Hang acquired this ability.

The order of the two can be reversed.

Sun Hang took a deep breath and looked at the dark sky above.

"What on earth is this weird thing that infected me?"

……

After Sun Hang had dealt with all the thugs, the city defense guards finally arrived - hundreds of soldiers holding shields almost completely blocked both sides of the street, snipers occupied the commanding heights of the buildings on both sides, and more than a dozen military drones were whizzing overhead, and the high-lumen searchlights illuminated the entire block as if it were daytime.

"You are..." A man who looked like an officer looked at the tablet in his hand, then looked at Sun Hang, "You are a registered hunter in Tianfu City, number 0420, Mr. Sun Hang, right?"

"Yes, it's me." Sun Hang nodded.

"We just received a call for help, saying that the material transfer point was attacked by thugs, and there were infected people among the thugs." The officer asked again, "Excuse me...what is the current situation?"

"The matter has been resolved. Three normal human thugs, who were armed, and one infected thug have all been confirmed dead." Sun Hang said, "In addition, a guard soldier died in the line of duty, and a staff member of the block management department was unfortunately killed."

"Is the infected person dead too?" the officer asked Sun Hang again, "Did you do it?"

Unconsciously, the way he addressed Sun Hang changed from "you" to "you" with a hint of respect.

"Yes, the remaining skeleton is in this pit." Sun Hang said, "But when you deal with the scene, be careful of those smoking places. This guy's blood is splattered everywhere. The corrosiveness of this stuff is more terrible than aqua regia. One thug just accidentally got a little bit of it, and half of his body was gone."

"Hiss...Okay, thank you for your reminder. People from the Investigation Bureau and the Research Institute will be here soon, and these matters will be handled by professionals."
