9: Who can tolerate this? Even rats and mice cannot tolerate this!

“Two blue enhancement modifiers.”

Ye Ze hesitated for a moment, then chose option 2.

Although in the long run, option 3 would be better and more in line with the definition of the Stealth skill.

However, he currently lacked offensive means, so he chose option 2.

There was still plenty of energy left.

Ye Ze's thoughts stirred, and with a “snap” of his fingers, a wisp of flame danced at his fingertip.

“Fire Element Sensing: Flame Damage +50”

Elemental talents were all quite powerful.

Unfortunately, it was like a clever housewife without rice for cooking.

He had no fire element skills and was not a mage, so he couldn't make good use of this talent.

Currently, the greatest use of this talent was roasting Waste Rat meat.

Ye Ze smiled helplessly.

“I hope it can give me a usable effect.”

“Consume 100 energy, Fire Element Sensing Enhancement +1!”

“Consume 200 energy, Fire Element Sensing Enhancement +2!”

“Consume 400 energy, Fire Element Sensing Enhancement +3!”

“Consume 800 energy, Fire Element Sensing Enhancement +4!”

“Fire Element Sensing Enhancement +4, gain an additional enhancement modifier choice!”

“1: Fire attribute magic casting time -20% (Blue)”

“2: Fire attribute skill damage +50% (White)”

“3: fire element Attachment: You can attach fire element to your weapon, flame damage +10, burn damage +10 (Blue)”

“fire element Attachment!”

“What's wrong with me? My luck has been off the charts recently, getting two blue modifiers in a row.”

Ye Ze was overjoyed.

He decisively chose option 3.

After making all preparations, Ye Ze looked at the Mutated Wasteland Rat not far away.

Stealth!

Ye Ze quietly approached behind the Mutated Wasteland Rat.

After Stealth Enhancement +4, the concealment effect was improved. At this moment, Ye Ze was less than a yard away from the Mutated Wasteland Rat, yet it still hadn't noticed his presence.

What a terrifying concealment effect!

Ye Ze was very satisfied with the enhanced Stealth.

Immediately after, he activated Weakness Detection.

Ultimate Identification!

The next moment—

Three Weaknesses appeared on the Mutated Wasteland Rat.

The colors of these three Weaknesses were different:

White,

Black,

And blood-red.

“Huh… what does this black dot mean?”

A hint of confusion flashed in Ye Ze's eyes.

Under Ultimate Identification,

Ye Ze saw three Weaknesses on the Mutated Wasteland Rat: a white dot at its throat,

A blood-red dot under its left armpit,

And a black dot slightly below the back of its head.

Ye Ze had previously used Ultimate Identification on ordinary Waste Rats and knew what the white and blood-red dots represented.

White was a normal Weakness; hitting it would cause extra damage to the target.

Blood-red was a tearing Weakness; attacking with a sharp weapon had a high chance of causing tearing damage to the target.

But what the black Weakness represented, Ye Ze was not yet clear. The Waste Rats he had killed before had not shown a black Weakness.

Ye Ze's gaze fell on the blood-red Weakness under the Mutated Wasteland Rat's left armpit.

Previous experience showed that

Tearing damage was very effective against Waste Rats, greatly reducing their combat power.

So the next moment—

Ambush Strike!

Swish~

A silver-white blade light flashed,

Precisely piercing the blood-red Weakness,

Then lightly flicking downwards,

Rip!

A gruesome wound was cut open under the Mutated Wasteland Rat's left armpit, and blood spurted out.

Squeak!!!!!

The Mutated Wasteland Rat let out a painful shriek,

It angrily swung its mutated sharp claws at Ye Ze.

Rip!

This angry claw tore through the air.

Ye Ze, having succeeded with one strike, quickly pulled away.

He stood three meters away, calmly observing the Mutated Wasteland Rat before him.

The Mutated Wasteland Rat's eyes were blood-red, and blood dripped from under its left armpit.

The intense pain from its body made it incredibly furious.

It had been lying comfortably in its nest when this human suddenly stabbed it.

This was unbearable, even for a rat!

Squeak!!!!!

The Mutated Wasteland Rat let out another angry shriek.

The next second, a deep purple light began to emanate from the surface of its purple fur.

This light, like flowing liquid, gradually covered its entire body. Under the baptism of this purple light, the Mutated Wasteland Rat's fur began to undergo astonishing changes.

A layer of crystal-clear crystalline skin gradually formed, covering its skin, as if it had donned armor made of countless tiny crystals.

Even the wound under its left armpit was sealed by this crystalline skin.

“Crystallization!”

Ye Ze's expression changed.

This was the Crystallization skill, which only a very small number of Waste Rats would awaken.

“I should have thought of it, this is a Mutated Wasteland Rat,” Ye Ze sighed.

After the Mutated Wasteland Rat Crystallized,

Two of the three Weaknesses on its body disappeared.

Only the blood-red dot under its left armpit remained.

Rip!

The Mutated Wasteland Rat became ferocious and charged at Ye Ze, savagely swinging its sharp claws at him.

Ye Ze quickly dodged, evading the claw.

Rip—

Crack crack crack crack—

The Mutated Wasteland Rat's sharp claws landed on the rock wall behind Ye Ze, tearing through it as easily as tofu.

Swish~

Ye Ze seized the opportunity for aLunge (thrust/lunge).

The Fine Steel Dagger, at a tricky angle, sharply struck under the Mutated Wasteland Rat's left armpit.

But then came a clear “Clang!” sound!

A soft clang like metal striking metal!

Even though the Fine Steel Dagger was enhanced +6, it still failed to cut through the Mutated Wasteland Rat's crystalline skin.

Instead, the immense recoil nearly knocked the Fine Steel Dagger out of Ye Ze's hand.

Whoosh—

Before Ye Ze could steady himself, the Mutated Wasteland Rat turned and slammed into him fiercely.

Bang!

A deafening crash,

Ye Ze was violently sent flying, feeling a surge of blood churning in his body and a sharp pain in his chest.

The Mutated Wasteland Rat wanted to press its advantage,

But the next second—

Squeak~~

The Mutated Wasteland Rat whimpered, and another wound cracked open under its left armpit.

Blood dripped down along the crystalline skin.

Ye Ze quickly flipped over and stood up, his gaze fixed on the Mutated Wasteland Rat's left armpit.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; thankfully, he had chosen the blood-red Weakness earlier.

Now it seemed,

That previous strike had caused significant damage to the Mutated Wasteland Rat. Even with Crystallization, it couldn't completely seal its wound, and after the Fine Steel Dagger struck again, the wound reopened.

“Since that's the case, it'll be much easier.”

Ye Ze murmured.

The next second,

He gripped the blade of the Fine Steel Dagger with two fingers and sharply swiped—

Rip—

A wisp of fire sparked between his fingers, pulling out a crimson fiery chain in the void.

Whoosh— Whoosh— Whoosh—

Fierce flames ignited on the Fine Steel Dagger, shining brightly in the dark nest!

fire element Attachment!
