I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 38 - Heat Control Infiltration


Whoosh!Qin Tian raised his hand, and a wisp of green smoke rose from his fingertips, which was the Green Scale Snake Venom after it had been vaporized.Not only that, but he could also release the snake venom through various means such as breathing and saliva.However, compared to the green talent, Green Scale Snake Venom, Qin Tian valued another white talent more: Cold Blooded.It is often said that snakes are Cold Blooded animals, but this statement is somewhat inaccurate.More precisely, snakes are poikilothermic animals.Snakes do not have a complete body temperature regulation mechanism and # Nоvеlight # cannot maintain a relatively stable body temperature like homeothermic animals (such as birds and mammals).When the ambient temperature rises, the snake's body temperature also rises, its metabolism speeds up, and its activity increases; conversely, when the ambient temperature drops, the snake's body temperature also decreases, its metabolism slows down, and its activity weakens.From an effectiveness standpoint, being poikilothermic has both advantages and disadvantages.However, once Cold Blooded is upgraded, the disadvantages might cease to exist.Additionally, within the effects of Cold Blooded, there is a component for sensing heat sources.Soon, he would face an even more powerful snake person, the Poisonous Serpent Human, whose heat sensing would definitely be more acute. If he couldn't control his body temperature, he would inevitably be exposed prematurely.Thinking of this, Qin Tian immediately invested 300 evolution points to upgrade the Cold Blooded talent.The white light cluster trembled slightly, and soon, a new hint of green appeared within the cluster, occupying the entire space.Name: Heat Sensing Control (Green)Type: Active TalentIntroduction: You can autonomously regulate your body temperature to blend with the external environment, significantly reducing your aura, and possess extremely keen perception of surrounding heat sources.At this moment, Qin Tian felt his body had changed. He could easily control blood flow and pore contraction. His body temperature fluctuated up and down with his thoughts, allowing him to perfectly merge with the environment.Not only that, but in his perception, all objects were emitting heat, including the soil, rocks, and vegetation beneath his feet, as if he had an infrared sensor inside him.“I made the right bet.”A hint of joy appeared in Qin Tian's eyes. With Heat Sensing Control, he could regulate his own body temperature and would not be easily detected by the Poisonous Serpent Human.Not only that, but Heat Sensing Control was also exceptionally compatible with another talent, Shadow Muscle and Bones.Shadow Muscle and Bones provides an aura concealment bonus, and Heat Sensing Control further enhances the ability to conceal one's aura.And the skill he cultivated, Nether Shadow Thunder Prison Skill, also focused on the stealth properties of dark elements.With these multiple layers of enhancement, his aura would barely leak out at all.Unless there was a powerful spiritual force indiscriminately sweeping, otherwise, he was a walking ghost, and even if he approached others, he would not be discovered.“Everything is ready.”Qin Tian re-entered the cave, disappearing into the darkness.“Poisonous Serpent Human, here I come.”The tunnels within the cave twisted and turned like the intestines of a sleeping beast, deep and endless, as dark as thick ink, devouring all light.Water stains on the cave walls slowly slid down like tears, and dripping sounds echoed in the silence, adding to the eerie atmosphere.In a deep tunnel, a strange rustling sound faintly echoed, like clothes rubbing or scales shaking. Several snake people slowly swayed their tails, moving sluggishly.The snake person standing at the very front held a luminous pearl, dimly illuminating the dark environment.“Boss, I’ve never understood, what use does Igge have for capturing those humans?”One of the snake people finally voiced the question he had kept in his heart for several days.The snake person leader turned to look at him, a hint of coldness and sharpness in his dim, yellow snake eyes. The snake person who had asked the question immediately felt a chill run down his spine and quickly lowered his head, saying:“Sorry, Boss.”The snake person leader withdrew his gaze and said indifferently:“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. If you talk too much, be careful you don’t get thrown into the Myriad Snake Den.”Upon hearing the name Myriad Snake Den, all the snake people present involuntarily shivered, and a hint of fear appeared in their eyes.“Continue patrolling.”The snake person leader took in his subordinate’s expressions, snorted coldly, and continued to lead the patrol.However, he walked very slowly, like a human taking a post-meal stroll.In his opinion, this cave was extremely secluded, discovered by a snake person by chance, and for a long time, no creature had been able to penetrate deep into this place.So he gradually relaxed his guard, and his daily patrols were just for show, perfunctory.Rustle, rustle~~Snake scales rubbed against the ground, making a rustling sound.As the snake person leader walked, he noticed that the surroundings became increasingly quiet, and he could only hear his own sounds.“What’s going on?”The snake person leader turned around, only to find no one behind him.He was startled, quickly gripped the steel knife in his hand, and moved forward cautiously.After turning a corner, the snake person leader stopped, his dim, yellow snake eyes suddenly contracting.In the straight tunnel, the snake person guards lay on the ground, spaced out from each other. There was a bloody hole on the back of each of their heads, and viscous liquid flowed out.What terrified the snake person leader was that he had not detected at all when the snake person guards behind him had died.In an instant, an immense sense of fear enveloped him. The scales on his neck slightly opened and closed due to fright, emitting a faint rubbing sound.“What are you looking for?”A cold and unfamiliar voice sounded behind him. The snake person leader was instantly scared out of his wits and instinctively tried to turn around.Unexpectedly, a sharp object violently pierced directly into the back of his head. His body stiffened, and he slowly collapsed to the ground.“The fifty-sixth.”Qin Tian laid the snake person leader flat on the ground, took out a cloth from his Space Sack, and wiped the stains off the military spike to prevent exposure due to the scent.From entering the cave until now, he had killed 56 snake people, all using the same method: silently appearing behind the snake people using Shadow Leap, then stabbing the military spike into the back of their heads.His movements were swift and ruthless, and the subtle sounds he made were covered by the sound of snake scales rubbing against the ground, so he encountered no obstacles throughout the entire process.However, after using Shadow Leap so many times, he also felt a slight fatigue.Supernatural abilities consume physical and mental strength. His physical strength was abundant, but his mental strength cultivation had just begun, and now there was a slight stinging sensation in his brain.Fortunately, through his powerful sense of smell, hearing, and heat sensing, he finally found his target.Qin Tian advanced along the tunnel, making no sound at all as he moved, like a ghost. A moment later, light came from ahead.He approached cautiously, holding his breath, his body temperature consistent with the surrounding cave wall, as if he had merged with the mountain itself.Ahead was a dead-end tunnel. He lay on the ground and looked down.At the convergence of many tunnels, a cold pond lay quietly. The cold pond was irregularly circular, its water dark and murky, like a deep mirror that reflected no light, yet it emitted waves of biting cold.Beside the cold pond, a tall snake person stood quietly, with a masculine face, seductive purple hair, and snake scales that shimmered like diamonds.And next to the snake person, there were actually two humans: one kneeling on the ground, and the other nailed to a cross, covered in blood, his left hand missing, as if cut off by a sharp weapon.When Qin Tian clearly saw the faces of the two, his heart suddenly jolted in surprise.It was them.
