Alien Species Invasion? I Kill Them Back.

Chapter 34: Chapter 32: So Many

[You have killed an A-level Pollution Body (Pseudo), points reward 110.]

[You have killed an A-level Pollution Body (Pseudo), points reward 80.]

...

Messages kept popping up on the notification panel, the point rewards gradually decreasing.

Huangfu Miaomiao was panting, gripping her hammer.

She wiped the sweat from her brow and said to Feng Ling, "The points are already down by half. The Pollution Bodies are tagged as ’pseudo,’ and our mission progress is stuck at 0%. I don’t know what’s going on."

Feng Ling said calmly, "Keep going."

Huangfu Miaomiao gave Feng Ling a silly grin. "Okay!"

Getting rich overnight couldn’t feel any better than this.

Right now, Huangfu Miaomiao felt as if she were in heaven, her joy beyond words.

This special Pollution Body, which carried a viscous substance, seemed to have the ability to incubate life. As long as a corpse was stuffed into the substance, a new Pollution Body would hatch before long.

No wonder it had managed to wear down Zhou Diao’s stamina with relentless waves of attacks.

However, perhaps because the corpses had been reused too many times and had lost their nutrients, the Pollution Bodies that hatched later were not only smaller in size, but their appearance was also closer to the ordinary crawlers they had first encountered.

As usual, Feng Ling swiftly chopped off their most aggressive mandibles, leaving the rest for Huangfu Miaomiao to handle.

"Ah... The reward is only 10 points now." Huangfu Miaomiao swung her hammer expertly, speaking as she worked hard. "10 points is still a lot..."

She wasn’t complaining.

Feng Ling said, "After this one, kill the big one too."

Huangfu Miaomiao’s movements paused. She turned her head to look at Feng Ling, a little uncertain. "...Can I do it?"

Feng Ling, who was silently calculating the time, raised an eyebrow at her words. "Why not? You’d better hurry up. The Inspection Bureau will be sending people down soon."

’No one had come down for so long. Feng Ling guessed that Zhou Diao had probably told Su Yuqing about the situation below. Those two knew she was earning points for Little Skeleton, so they had intentionally given them time to clean up the leftovers.’

Huangfu Miaomiao looked troubled. "It’s so big..."

It was such a large Pollution Body, and an A-level one at that. Huangfu Miaomiao had no confidence.

Normally, Feng Ling might have teased her a bit.

But now, enduring waves of hunger, Feng Ling had long since lost her patience. Frowning, she grabbed Huangfu Miaomiao’s hand, forced her to grip the Iron Hammer tighter, and then swung it toward the Pollution Body!

Perhaps Feng Ling’s strength was too great, or perhaps repeatedly incubating life had left this Pollution Body exceptionally weak. With just one strike, a large hole was torn in its body, and the flesh and pus within gushed out.

"Don’t stop." Feng Ling released her hand, motioning for Huangfu Miaomiao to continue.

Huangfu Miaomiao gritted her teeth, and mimicking the previous posture and force, she swung the hammer down again!

Flesh flew and pus splattered everywhere.

She didn’t dare to stop, blindly smashing away! She kept hammering until her palm became sticky and so slippery she could barely hold the handle. Finally, the mission progress instantly jumped from 0% to 100%!

At the same time, a notification message popped up—

[You have killed an A-level Pollution Body, points reward 850.]

"850!" Huangfu Miaomiao’s eyes lit up, her excitement making her forget her earlier fear and hesitation. "This one Pollution Body is worth 850!!!"

She eagerly turned to share her joy with Feng Ling, but she was stunned by the sight before her!

From the enormous corpse of the Pollution Body, silver Cards began to precipitate. One, two, three, four...

Huangfu Miaomiao’s eyes went wide, and her heart nearly stopped in shock.

Eight, nine, ten...

They were still precipitating!

She had never seen so many Cards!

The forums said that most of a Pollution Body’s Cards would disintegrate due to genetic pollution and that getting more than two was considered lucky. Why did this Pollution Body have so many Cards?!

...Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen! And they still weren’t stopping!

Huangfu Miaomiao was completely dumbfounded.

If she wasn’t afraid of the news leaking, she would have loved to snap a picture right now and post it on the forums for all the players to see!

So many!

So, so many!

Feng Ling’s expression was much calmer than Huangfu Miaomiao’s; she thought this was normal.

The specific effects of a Card could only be known after absorption, but one could make a rough judgment based on the pattern on its face.

Feng Ling carefully examined the abstract pattern on each Card, murmuring to herself as she looked:

"Ant, spider, Centipede... Is this a bird? A Crow or an eagle? Can’t tell... Why is there another Centipede?... Ant, Centipede, Centipede, what’s this? A lizard?... Centipede, Centipede..."

A total of 17 Cards had emerged.

Among them, the Centipede Cards and ant Cards were the most numerous, with only one of each of the remaining types.

’Feng Ling mulled it over.’

’Although the Centipede didn’t seem to have any connection to the "Mother of the World," Centipedes felt very similar to Mantises. Back when she digested the Killing Bee and Mantis Cards, her Pollution Value only rose by 3%. Did this indirectly prove that she could also safely digest a Centipede?’

’Besides, there were a lot of duplicate Centipede Cards. As long as one was fine, she could take them all.’

’Choosing the Centipede Cards was a very cost-effective option.’

Feng Ling thought for a moment, then asked Huangfu Miaomiao, "You said before that bosses have High-level Cards, right?"

After a long moment of shock, Huangfu Miaomiao finally came to her senses. "...Right. Bosses have High-level Cards, and they’ve completed at least three digestions."

"Is it possible to digest more than one High-level Card?" Feng Ling asked.

Huangfu Miaomiao nodded again, her expression grave. "It’s possible, but you have to be mindful of the risk. If the Cards aren’t a good match, the pollution generated by the digestion will be extremely severe!"

After hearing this, Feng Ling mulled it over for a moment, her gaze falling upon the seventeen shimmering silver Cards.

’If she were to prioritize picking a High-level Card, she would probably choose that one—the one with the two lizard-like creatures back-to-back, forming a symmetrical pattern.’

’Compared to the ant, spider, and Centipede, this twin lizard Card was the most likely to be a High-level Card.’

’High-level Cards were always more enticing than other Cards.’

’But...’

’The risks that came with High-level Cards were also greater than other Cards.’

After weighing her options, Feng Ling decided to play it safe and reached for a Centipede Card.

The moment she touched the Card, it was instantly absorbed—

[You have obtained the Card ’Red Ghost Centipede.’]

[Red Ghost Centipede: Can move freely in complete darkness. It is extremely fast and possesses Teeth and Claws with astonishing biting force, but the Card Holder is prone to losing their sanity and tending toward insectoid transformation.]

Feng Ling waited patiently for a moment.

The text in her mind began to change.

[’Red Ghost Centipede’ has been digested.]

[Your card deck has grown. Pollution Value: 8%.]

[New limbs have grown within your body, capable of rapidly transforming into indestructible Teeth and Claws. Your night vision ability has also been enhanced. Please name your new skill.]

The corners of Feng Ling’s mouth tilted up.

’She had guessed right!’

’The Pollution Value only increased by 1%!’

’The Centipede Card really was similar to the Mantis Card. Not only was the Pollution Value very low, but the new skills gained after digestion were also nearly identical!’

She touched her abdomen. ’Was it an illusion? After digesting this Card, the intense feeling of hunger seemed to have eased.’

This greatly eased Feng Ling’s anxiety, and her mood brightened considerably.

She smiled and said, "Since I already have Mother’s Thoughts and Mother’s Whip, let’s call this one... hmm, Mother’s Embrace."

[New skill named successfully.]
