However, given the current situation, Zhang Yanhang feels that this Mechanical Tyrant should have at least five skills or more. After all, just the rocket cannon and laser, plus the other conventional skills of tyrants, add up to five skills. If there's also a self-destruction skill and other unique skills, it could easily surpass five.
But compared to these matters, Zhang Yanhang is more interested in the constant killing notification sound that has been ringing since just now.
[Successfully killed Third Tier Three-star Monster 'T-011 Talos Tyrant · War Form (Elite)' ×1, Soul points +1500.]
[Successfully killed Third Tier Three-star Monster 'T-011 Talos Tyrant · War Form (Elite)' ×1, Soul points +1500.]
[Successfully killed Third Tier Three-star Monster 'T-011 Talos Tyrant · War Form (Elite)' ×1, Soul points +1500.]
...
"So it is the Talos Tyrant, no wonder it looks familiar..."
Zhang Yanhang knows something about the Talos Tyrant. Its original name is 'Tyrant-Armored Lethal Organic System', abbreviated as T-A.L.O.S-type Tyrant, which, when read together, becomes 'Talos'.
It is said that this Talos Tyrant was remodeled using the T-011 Tyrant as a basic body. Within the Umbrella company, it is hailed as the "Ultimate Biological Weapon" that fuses computer technology, machinery, and weaponry, being the strongest tyrant of all time.
However, in Zhang Yanhang's impression, although the Talos Tyrant has many forms, there seemed to be no war form, and it can transform. After transforming, it abandons thermal weapons and becomes a gigantic tyrant with tentacles all over its lower body, with a length of at least ten meters.
But honestly, that form of Talos Tyrant lacks armor protection, resulting in a significant decrease in defensive power. Additionally, after its lower body transforms into tentacles, its mobility greatly diminishes. Although it grows bigger, it completely becomes a living target in battle, with strength not only not increasing but decreasing considerably.
Therefore, Zhang Yanhang suspects that the Umbrella company might have removed that living target form, opting to enlarge the more powerful first form, like the previous T-103 Super Tyrant and T-0400TP Death God Tyrant, thus creating this most powerful tyrant Zhang Yanhang has encountered.
If you ask why Zhang Yanhang didn't recognize it immediately, it's naturally because the appearance changes a bit. The original Talos Tyrant actually only had armor on the upper body, while the lower body became a weak point. Perhaps because of this reason, its lower body directly turned into tentacles during subsequent transformations.
This new version of the Talos Tyrant, however, has armor all over its body, from head to toe, without any part exposed. Additionally, it's much larger in size, causing Zhang Yanhang not to recognize it.
"So this T-011 Talos Tyrant is a Third Tier Three-star Elite Monster? I always thought it was a Third Tier Four-star monster. But fortunately, the difference isn't huge. At least the value of 1500 Soul points matches its level."
After checking the kill notification, Zhang Yanhang floats quietly in place waiting for the loot refresh.
A few seconds later, two drop treasure boxes emitting a light golden glow refreshed one after another on the ground over the Talos Tyrant's corpse.
Although there were few in number, considering that Zhang Yanhang had only killed about a dozen Talos Tyrants, the drop rate was pretty decent.
Of course, among them was one light golden drop treasure box from the first kill.
So, in reality, those dozen or so Talos Tyrants collectively only dropped one treasure box.
"Judging from the current situation, the drop rate of these Talos Tyrants should be similar to that of the T-103 Super Tyrant and Death God Tyrant, around eighteen drops per box."
Although Zhang Yanhang hasn't conducted large-scale experiments yet, based on his past experiences, typically, the monster treasure box drop rates in the same area are similar. So, when the drop rate for other Third Tier tyrants is one treasure box for every eighteen kills, Talos Tyrants are likely to have a similar drop rate of one treasure box for every eighteen kills.
Of course, this is only the drop rate for Third Tier monsters. The Fourth Tier monster drop rate would be entirely different and would need to be tested separately. After all, there is a Rank Penalty for Third Tier monsters with a drop rate of one box for every eighteen kills.
But for Fourth Tier monsters as Same Tier Monsters, naturally, there wouldn't be a Rank Penalty, thus the drop rate would change, or rather, return to the standard rate at the start.
After the drop treasure boxes refreshed, Zhang Yanhang immediately activated the Swallowing Heaven and Earth Skill to devour the two light golden quality drop treasure boxes along with those dozen Talos Tyrant corpses into the stomach space.
Whether it is absorbing steel or seawater, it is of the same value. Zhang Yanhang believes that despite the metal armor on the Talos Tyrants, the absorption should be no different than that of ordinary biological tyrants. After all, the stomach space is truly all-encompassing, absorbing anything and everything.
"I didn't expect that unknowingly, I've reached the realm of swallowing gold and eating iron..."
Of course, in terms of bite force, he could eat steel like candy even at the Second Tier, but that stuff offered little nutrition after digestion, unlike now when it could be absorbed into energy.
Interestingly enough, theoretically speaking, even ordinary humans can consume steel because human stomach acid can indeed digest steel to some extent. Therefore, there are instances of people with a pica eating glass shards and nails while still surviving for a long time.
But glass shards and nails offer no nutrients, and overeating them can lead to heavy metal poisoning. These individuals with pica inevitably encounter malnutrition scenarios.
But Zhang Yanhang is different. He can genuinely absorb energy, thus choosing to consume these materials.
After resolving the issue with the Talos Tyrants, Zhang Yanhang doesn't delay but immediately flies east. He scanned that there is a small group of Talos Tyrants gathered there, and fortunately, they are just at the edge of the Death Wave's coverage, which is why they didn't drop dead along with the previous group of Talos Tyrants.
......
November 1st, Sunday, Halloween, and also the first day for Zhang Yanhang to enter the Ashen World, 8:12 PM, in the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, Gelijia City.
After successfully swallowing the last batch of monster corpses and the dropped treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang finally finished this flight. After consuming about half an hour, he finally managed to clear the entire Gelijia City.
Of course, according to the old tradition, he actually only spent the first fifteen minutes clearing, and the other fifteen minutes were spent collecting monster corpses and dropped treasure boxes.
"I had previously only cleared an area of 2100 square kilometers, and now I've cleared the remaining 2200 square kilometers as well, successfully advancing the second stage clearing plan of the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field from the original 48.8% to 100%."
If we calculate the overall clearing progress of the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, that has also increased significantly. Initially, counting the 3,800 square kilometers of Terra City, he had only cleared 5,900 square kilometers in total, but now he has cleared a total of 8,100 square kilometers.
This successfully brought the overall progress of the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field clearing plan from the original 14.8% up to 20.3%, increasing the progress by another 5.5%, from nearly one-seventh to about one-fifth.
"In this way, the progress is finally not lagging anymore. It's just that now I haven't opened the treasure boxes, and if we count the time for opening them, it might not be the same."
But fortunately, overall, Zhang Yanhang's time is still relatively ample. After all, it's only 8:12 now, and there are nearly ten hours left until the transmission channel closes, so it's probably not difficult to clear the entire Umbrella Biochemical Test Field before it closes.
After clearing the entire Gelijia City, Zhang Yanhang discovered that the adjacent town, which was originally expected to be very close to Gelijia City, might not be as close as expected.
In fact, it's quite far, located in an area that should be cleared in the third stage, which is the area surrounding Terra City and Gelijia City. This town area, originally allocated to the third stage, also covers an area of nearly 4,000 square kilometers.
So, Zhang Yanhang finally decided to wait until the third stage clearing plan is completed before going over there to check on the Evaluation Settlement Treasure Box. After all, he cannot settle before clearing the entire Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, so whether he checks early or late doesn't make much difference.
Therefore, Zhang Yanhang has already started considering opening the treasure boxes directly now.
But before opening the treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang opened his soul point balance as usual to have a look, wanting to know how many soul points he had just gained.
[Soul Points: 18,432,857 (+14,953,050)]
"Initially I had only 3.48 million soul points, but just by clearing the Tyrants in Gelijia City, I gained 14.95 million soul points, successfully increasing my soul point balance to 18.43 million."
The reason he could gain nearly 15 million soul points at once is naturally thanks to the enormous number of T-103 Super Tyrants. Although they are the weakest monsters in the area, it's often because they are the weakest that they can win by sheer numbers.
According to Zhang Yanhang's incomplete statistics, in this clearing of Gelijia City alone, he took down around 13,000 T-103 Super Tyrants. Just these T-103 Super Tyrants contributed over seven million soul points, accounting for half of this round's total earnings.
The remaining half was provided by the relatively fewer T-0400TP Death God Tyrants and T-011 Talos Tyrants.
Besides the 13,000 T-103 Super Tyrants, Zhang Yanhang also took down about 4,000 T-0400TP Death God Tyrants and roughly 2,000 T-011 Talos Tyrants.
The former provided about four million soul points, while the latter provided about three million soul points, adding up to the current total earnings of nearly 15 million soul points.
"Just from the soul point gains from kills alone, it's nearly 15 million. Based on past experiences, the soul point gain after opening the treasure boxes later should be at least over 20 million."
Counting Zhang Yanhang's previous three million plus soul points, he feels that this time he might be able to gather over 40 million soul points in one go, enough to upgrade two skills. As for which skills to upgrade, the Indestructible Golden Body is definitely going to be upgraded, and the other skill will depend on the situation.
However, in Zhang Yanhang's current situation, whether to upgrade Gun Mastery or Fighting Master is more or less the same.
After checking the soul point balance, Zhang Yanhang retrieved the dropped treasure boxes he had swallowed earlier from his stomach space and quickly started counting them.
After counting, Zhang Yanhang found that he obtained a total of 1,098 dropped treasure boxes this time. Naturally, the most still comes from the T-103 Super Tyrants, contributing 723 Dark Purple Quality dropped treasure boxes.
Next came the 251 dropped treasure boxes from the T-0400TP Death God Tyrants and the 124 from the T-011 Talos Tyrants.
Although the quantity is relatively smaller, the Death God Tyrants and Talos Tyrants contribute higher quality Light Golden treasure boxes, which Zhang Yanhang values much more than the Dark Purple Quality boxes dropped by the more numerous T-103 Super Tyrants.
Especially the treasure boxes dropped by the T-011 Talos Tyrants, it's Zhang Yanhang's first time obtaining them, and he's quite eager to see what new items they might contain.
After counting the quantity, Zhang Yanhang didn't delay any further. Instead, he immediately took a Light Golden Treasure Box from the T-011 Talos Tyrants from the heap of treasure boxes and chose to open it.
[Open 'Dropped Treasure Box (T-011 Talos Tyrant - War Form)'?]
"Yes, open it."
Although it's already the third time opening a treasure box, Zhang Yanhang's wish remains unchanged. He is still very determined to open new equipment that can enhance his physical recovery speed. Although the Death Wave has added a life-stealing ability to help him augment his endurance, it ultimately doesn't truly increase endurance.
After all, Zhang Yanhang doesn't only expend physical strength using Death Wave; in other aspects, there aren't such convenient ways to recover strength.
