97: Freeze! Instantaneous!

The visual impact of this scene was just as strong, if not stronger!

Especially when they twisted their bodies and focused dozens of gazes on one person with their gem-red eyes.

It was fortunate that they were in the Disaster Space; otherwise, if these Giant Centipedes escaped to the outside world, they would definitely cause a considerable bloodbath.

Upon noticing their action of opening their mouths, intending to collectively spit out Corpse Dissolving Poison, Chen Ming quickly triggered the SSS-grade Skill Permanent Theft!

Select all the Giant Centipedes, steal all their skills, leaving none behind.

Afterward, I will extract them into Undead and then use the A-grade skill Manual Creation to synthesize a few Giant Centipede Kings.

[Stealing in progress...]

[Theft successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining B-grade skill Corpse Dissolving Poison +38, B-grade skill Defense Boost +38, B-grade skill Speed Boost +38, B-grade skill Charged Strike +38!]

"Adding the Giant Centipede from before, there are a total of thirty-nine, just enough to synthesize thirteen A-grade skills. Not bad, not bad."

Chen Ming was quite satisfied, but looking back at the Giant Centipede group, they opened their gaping maws and gasped for a long time.

However, it was all thunder and no rain; not a single drop of Corpse Dissolving Poison could be sprayed out.

After several attempts, it was still the same.

Chen Ming was not prepared to waste time with them. Now, the Giant Centipedes were of zero value to him.

More value would be reflected after death!

Even though Chen Ming had secretly stolen their skills, the Giant Centipedes did not develop fear towards him because of this. Since the skills couldn't be used,

They all lowered their bodies, like springs, opened their bloody maws, and attacked.

They scrambled to be first, attempting to devour Chen Ming and turn him into something to fill their bellies.

Snap!

Chen Ming, however, unhurriedly raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

SSS-grade Skill Ice Seal Thousands of Miles triggered!

The Giant Centipedes were about to approach Chen Ming, their poisonous whiskers just a hair's breadth away from him, but the ice froze their entire heads at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, the ice seemed to have a life of its own, rapidly spreading and expanding in all directions.

From head to tail, all thirty-eight Giant Centipedes were frozen solid!

No, not just them, the entire Disaster Space was covered in ice, except for a small area around Chen Ming's feet and himself.

Then, Chen Ming raised his hand and lightly touched the frozen, thickened centipede whiskers.

Relying on the S-Class Skill Lightning Spear, he released a wisp of golden lightning, pouring it in at once.

The propagation speed was extremely fast, flashing under the ice layer of the ceiling above, turning into hundreds and thousands of streams, shooting out.

Rumble! Rumble!

Those Giant Centipedes, frozen along with their flesh and blood, successively split, collapsed, and turned into pieces of shattered ice, scattered everywhere.

[Successfully killed Giant Centipede! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Silver Treasure Chest +1!]

[Successfully killed Giant Centipede! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Silver Treasure Chest +1!]

...

What Chen Ming needed to do next was to squeeze out their last value as monsters.

After that, they would completely reverse their identities and become slaves absolutely loyal to Chen Ming! Unable to change for life!

[Extracting...]

[Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining new Undead Servant: Giant Centipede +38!]

While the big boss had not yet awakened and appeared,

Chen Ming quickly opened the virtual panel, selected the thirty-nine freshly obtained B-grade skills, and bulk fused them!

[Fusing...]

[Fusion successful! Congratulations on obtaining A-grade skill Corpse Dissolving Poison +13, A-grade skill Defense Boost +13, A-grade skill Speed Boost +13, A-grade skill Charged Strike +13!]

He added these four A-grade skills to himself first, thinking that they would be useful someday.

How could there be such a thing as having too many skills?

The remaining 12 A-grade skills were randomly selected and added to 12 Giant Centipedes.

The Undead level immediately underwent a qualitative leap!

Suddenly, an energy fluctuation, like an invisible wave, heavily struck towards Chen Ming's side, disappearing in an instant.

With a wave of his hand, he closed the virtual panel.

Chen Ming saw clearly that a spatial portal had opened dozens of meters away.

Clearance? Leave?

He didn't think so; the pressure that swept over his entire body, the goosebumps, wouldn't lie!

As a portal, this size was somewhat excessive.

Just to highlight the strength of the victor?

Chen Ming had never understood it this way.

Instead, he believed it was to facilitate a certain large fellow passing through and emerging from it!

As a secret realm dungeon, there would inevitably be small monsters and a boss; this was an eternal truth.

Worried? There was nothing to worry about.

Chen Ming would only be worried if there was no boss, after all, that would mean missing out on a significant amount of income.

Now, under the enhancement of multiple skills, the benefits that Chen Ming could extract from the boss monster had doubled.

Completing the kill mission for enhanced fishing attempts, obtaining treasure chests, extracting Undead, and now adding skill theft.

Boom!

The next second, Chen Ming saw clearly that a colossal figure emerged from that blood-red portal.

Like a moving train, it circled around, enveloping Chen Ming layer by layer.

The entire Disaster Space, the range of activity, continued to shrink.

Chen Ming was like prey that had accidentally fallen onto a spider web.

If it were anyone else, they would probably only be able to surrender.

This Centipede King was astonishingly large.

By Chen Ming's estimation, it was at least a hundred meters!

Black armor and red belly, with a slight metallic sheen, it looked very hard. There were at least several hundred tightly packed centipede legs.

After its entire body had completely emerged from within, the portal closed.

The Centipede King straightened its upper body, using a pair of silvery, grid-filled eyes, opened its mandibles, and looked down upon Chen Ming in judgment.

Honestly, from Chen Ming's perspective, this guy was quite imposing.

Riding it to rampage in the apocalypse would be just as eye-catching as a flying dragon.

Trigger skill!

The multiple-choice question appeared again: [A-grade skill Indestructible Iron Armor] [A-grade skill Corpse Dissolving Poison] [A-grade skill Precise Pounce] [A-grade skill Tail Whip Strike] [A-grade skill Killing Intent Boost]

"As expected of a boss, not only does it have an extra skill, but they are all A-grade."

"Then I won't be polite."

[Stealing in progress...]

[Theft successful! Congratulations on obtaining A-grade skill Indestructible Iron Armor, A-grade skill Corpse Dissolving Poison, A-grade skill Precise Pounce, A-grade skill Tail Whip Strike, A-grade skill Killing Intent Boost!]

Unlike skills obtained from fishing, stolen skills are not forcibly bound, and Chen Ming can freely decide their use.

After a simple selection, Chen Ming added the two skills Indestructible Iron Armor and Killing Intent Boost to himself.

[A-grade skill Indestructible Iron Armor: When used, can make the outer shell steel-like, greatly enhancing defense. Note: When used by people or other summoned beasts without an outer shell, it will automatically fit the body and generate a complete set of iron armor!]

[A-grade skill Killing Intent Boost: When this skill is triggered, every time a layer of killing intent is stacked, a full attribute increase will be completed! The upper limit is fifty layers!]

The remaining three skills were selected and added to one Giant Centipede.

Even if it was reduced by two skills, the enhancement effect brought by the three A-grade skills, coupled with its original numerous skills, its combat power should not be underestimated!

After getting the skills?

As per custom, discard the millstone after the donkey is used!
