Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 804 - 315: Strange Poison Sac
Chapter 804: Chapter 315: Strange Poison Sac
The Iron Beetle was the size of a palm when asleep, and only when Wang Tao commanded it did it grow to a size comparable to Lightning.
So, for safety’s sake, Gu Yun placed it in a briefcase and assigned a group of subordinates to guard it.
Of course, Gu Yun could carry it on his person. However, his Level 3 strength was too weak. If a Fourth-order Superpower became tempted to steal it… Although the likelihood was extremely low, he still couldn’t afford to take the risk.
Moreover, the item didn’t belong to him, but to Wang Tao and City Hall. As the Secretary-General, he could only be considered a spokesperson for City Hall, so he also had to avoid any suspicion.
When Gu Yun heard Wang Tao say that the criteria to activate the Iron Beetle’s second function had been met, he curiously asked,
“What criteria?”
...
He still had no idea what the Iron Beetle’s second function was.
Wang Tao explained,
“The Iron Beetle’s second function is called ‘Armed,’ transforming into a set of Full Body Armor for the owner to wear. This armor not only protects the owner from damage but also provides an enhancement to certain attributes. To activate this feature, the Iron Beetle needs to consume the corpse of a Fourth Rank Bug Tribe. And this Dual-tail Scorpion should be part of the Bug Tribe…”
Upon hearing Wang Tao’s explanation, Gu Yun was a bit shocked.
Not only could this Iron Beetle aid its owner in combat, but it could also transform into armor to increase the owner’s combat power? This was incredibly impressive!
However, there was a small problem—the Dual-tail Scorpion was killed by everyone together, so the creature’s corpse belonged to all of them. He would need to persuade others to relinquish the corpse.
Typically, the corpse could probably be used to produce something like Cockroach Paste, which wasn’t very valuable. But now, under special circumstances, if Zhou Long and the others drove a hard bargain, that would be problematic… Gu Yun was a bit troubled.

However, the good news was, the others didn’t know that the Iron Beetle required the Dual-tail Scorpion’s body, so he had the upper hand…
While Wang Tao and Gu Yun murmured to each other, the others grew curious. Although they consciously didn’t come over to inquire, they weren’t blind and could see that Gu Yun had brought the Iron Beetle.
What was he up to?
The others were puzzled but didn’t ask further.
Wang Tao brought the Iron Beetle with everyone to the side of the Dual-tail Scorpion’s corpse.
By then, the Dual-tail Scorpion was riddled with holes, likely with dozens of bullets that could be dug out of its body.
The shell and other materials were obviously no longer usable, but its claws and two tails were still intact.
Seeing this, Wang Tao understood.
The claws and tails hadn’t been damaged probably because they all had names. Wang Tao had previously found that trying to destroy materials with names required a lot of effort. Moreover, once Shang Heng realized the Dual-tail Scorpion was dead, he had ceased the attack and hadn’t mutilated the corpse, so it was well-preserved.
Upon seeing the four intact materials, the others’ faces brightened. The claws and tails clearly looked useful, likely to make excellent equipment!
Seeing their reactions, Wang Tao slightly furrowed his brow, wondering how he could obtain these four named materials for himself, for giving them to others would be too wasteful…
“How should we distribute this?”
Qi De scratched his head.
The Dual-tail Scorpion was a creature from Meteorite No. 8, and Meteorite No. 8 belonged to Huang Wu. Logically, the Dual-tail Scorpion would also be his. But the opening of Meteorite No. 8 with a Crystal Core involved contributions from Huang Wu, City Hall, and Wang Tao, so City Hall and Wang Tao also had stakes. Additionally, the Dual-tail Scorpion had been killed collectively, with everyone contributing effort. Particularly Shang Heng, whose military had expended a lot of ammunition; they couldn’t go unacknowledged.
So, divvying up the Dual-tail Scorpion’s corpse was a bit complicated. Apart from Huang Wu, who had the major share, it was difficult for others to claim a part.
“It’s simple, we’ll convert the monster’s body into Crystal Coins, then distribute them based on the agreed ratios,”
Qu Shilin said with a smile.
She wanted the corpse for research, although it was already dead.
Qu Shilin’s suggestion was indeed a way to go about it. When you don’t know how to divide something, selling it and converting it into money makes distribution easier.
But at this stage, some things couldn’t be bought with money.

For instance, the claws and tails of this Dual-tail Scorpion, which were obviously usable for crafting equipment. But since this was their first encounter with these materials, it was hard to estimate their strength, so pricing this material wasn’t straightforward.
Moreover, they preferred to convert these materials into usable equipment rather than selling them outright. After all, no one was short on money.
“Let’s see what exactly we have first; we can decide on distribution after that,”
Wang Tao then spoke up.
“That’s true,”
everyone nodded.
Shang Heng then called soldiers to loot the Dual-tail Scorpion’s body.
Wang Tao approached the corpse and tapped around it as if he was very interested in the Dual-tail Scorpion, when in fact he was collecting the Loot Pack that burst out into his Space Backpack.
Meanwhile, the soldiers had already checked everything on the Dual-tail Scorpion. Besides two claws and two tails, there was also a Crystal Core, a Poison Sac, and an Awakening Energy Pearl.
It had to be said, the loot from this Dual-tail Scorpion was quite substantial.
Upon seeing the specific attributes of these items, Wang Tao let out a light gasp.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Wang?”
