66: venomous snake with venom
The useful Talent of Poison Claw undoubtedly gave Lin Tianwei inspiration.
Although poisoning is somewhat despicable, it is undeniable that it is a super useful skill.
If he could acquire a powerful poison-type Talent, not only would his hunting efficiency be greatly improved, but it would also have miraculous effects in certain scenarios.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei felt that he really needed a poison-type Talent.
And among the most famous Five Poisons in nature, the easiest to find would undoubtedly be venomous snakes.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei ran while searching for potential prey, especially in cool, shady spots and holes hidden by weeds on the ground.
These were all places where venomous snakes might appear.
Relying on his keen sense of smell and the perception of Ultrasonic Wave, Lin Tianwei quickly discovered his target.
An unknown species of snake was hidden in the cave before him.
What Lin Tianwei needed to do was figure out how to lure it out, or kill it from a distance.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Tianwei used Ultrasonic Wave.
This skill is extremely useful in any scenario.
Coupled with its ability to detect information, it's not an exaggeration to call it a divine skill.
Under the attack of the Ultrasonic Wave, the snake was quickly affected and began to writhe uneasily.
However, no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't escape the pervasive Ultrasonic Wave.
Eventually, it even became disoriented and swam towards the exit of the cave, attempting to weaken the effect of the Ultrasonic Wave by breathing fresh air.
It didn't know that what awaited it was Lin Tianwei's incredibly sharp claws.
With a heavy strike, the snake's head was instantly crushed into a bloody pulp.
Not only that, but it was also directly decapitated by the sharp tiger claws, its head separated from its body.
The headless snake's body had not yet completely lost its vitality, writhing in pain on the ground.
But Lin Tianwei grabbed it and directly stuffed it into his mouth, eating it like a spicy strip.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."
"Ding, Talent extraction failed, host gained five Talent Fragments."
Not only did he not extract a Talent, but he only received a pitifully small amount of Talent Fragments, which left Lin Tianwei quite speechless.
However, he didn't get discouraged.
He set off again to search for the next venomous snake.
Effort pays off.
Sooner or later, he would acquire the Talent he desired.
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
The sound of a venomous snake flicking its tongue came from afar.
Lin Tianwei actually found a wild venomous snake this time.
He naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
Running quickly, he soon found his target in the bushes: a vibrant green snake.
Hidden by the wild grass, it was almost invisible.
Most importantly, this venomous snake was very large.
Nearly three meters long and almost ten centimeters wide, indicating that it was definitely not an easy opponent.
Lin Tianwei was not afraid at all; instead, he became even more excited.
The stronger the venomous snake, the more likely it was to drop the Talent he needed.
Perhaps sensing Lin Tianwei's predatory gaze, the venomous snake lay still on the ground, not moving at all, trying to deceive this ferocious predator with its most natural camouflage.
However, it clearly failed.
Facing Lin Tianwei, who had multiple detection methods, its proud camouflage was as if it didn't exist at all.
His tiger paw quickly swung down; Lin Tianwei intended to end the fight quickly.
But he didn't expect the venomous snake's reaction to be equally swift, narrowly avoiding Lin Tianwei's attack.
Not only that, but it also opened its mouth, attempting to attack Lin Tianwei.
The venomous snake's burst speed was very fast, but Lin Tianwei's speed was even faster.
His tiger paw lightly slapped out, instantly disorienting the snake's head.
Not only that, but its fangs also bit down due to inertia, biting into its own green body.
Can a venomous snake's venom kill another venomous snake?
This thought flashed through Lin Tianwei's mind for only an instant before he swung his tiger paw.
Bang.
The ground shook.
The venomous snake was directly slapped to death by Lin Tianwei, without any chance to struggle.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."
"Ding, Talent extraction successful, host gained Talent: Poison Fang (Primary)."
"Ding, please confirm if the host wishes to use this Talent."
"Poison Fang (Primary): Primary Talent, capable of injecting venom into the target through teeth."
Lin Tianwei didn't expect that he didn't acquire the ability to produce venom, but instead gained an ability similar to Poison Claw, which seemed a bit redundant.
Considering that snake venom generally needs to come into contact with blood to take effect, this Talent seemed a bit better than simple snake venom.
After all, an attack that can't hit the enemy, no matter how powerful, is useless.
Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei directly chose to use this Talent.
With the blessing of this Talent, his sharp teeth also gained magical damage, making him even more lethal to enemies.
After simply eating this spicy strip, Lin Tianwei embarked on a new journey once again.
—
There are many mutated beasts in Zone F, but they are generally not very strong.
Their appearance is more like an existence as food.
By using special scents, the main subjects here, the S-class experimental subjects, gain an understanding: creatures with this scent are food, and creatures with the boundary scent are untouchable.
It must be said that although this method is inefficient, for mutated beasts with generally low intelligence, it is a very effective means.
Combined with various reward and punishment measures, the mutated creatures here can be tamed, providing excellent genes while also serving as terrifying biological weapons.
Fortunately, Lin Tianwei was not within the range of being tamed.
His human soul allowed him to resist this simplest form of domestication through thought and wisdom.
Coupled with his powerful strength, he could overcome PUA with force, so there was naturally no problem.
The reason he was still here was to plunder enough Talents.
Those terrifying mutated beasts, also S-class subjects, were Lin Tianwei's best source of nourishment.
After half a month of slaughter, almost all types of mutated beasts in Zone F had been killed by Lin Tianwei, completely exhausting the potential of this area.
At the same time, he also acquired a large number of Talents and Talent Fragments.
Among these Talents, some were very redundant, while others were incredibly powerful, fully capable of elevating Lin Tianwei's combat strength by a notch.
Eagle Eye (Primary): Primary Talent, allows the host to clearly see distant objects... Underwater Breathing (Primary): Primary Talent, allows the host to gain the ability to breathe underwater... Jumping Ability (Primary): Primary Talent, allows the host's jumping ability to be enhanced... Climbing Ability (Primary): Primary Talent, allows the host's climbing ability to be enhanced.
Armed with these powerful Talents, Lin Tianwei's strength was enhanced in all aspects, giving him the capital to explore other areas.
Looking up into the distance, Lin Tianwei thought to himself, it's time to leave this Zone F that he had drained and pay a visit to his good neighbors.
Although this also meant that he would be in full-scale war with the Ismail Institute!
