Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 913 - 360: Matrix Night Demon_2

[HP: 250000/250000]

[Mana: 200000/200000]

[Grade: Level 5 - Lord]

[Awakening: Robust]

This is a Level 5 Lord Night Demon with 250,000 HP!

When Wang Tao saw this Night Demon, he was instantly alarmed—Matrix Night Demon!

Wang Tao had encountered a similar Matrix Night Demon before, but it was a Level 4; it produced Night Demon Parasite Bug Eggs, and the eggs Wang Tao possessed were from that Level 4 Matrix Night Demon.

Some of his previous doubts were immediately resolved—

No wonder there were so many Night Demons here; it turns out there was a Matrix Demon!

No wonder these Level 4 Night Demons hadn’t ventured out. Wang Tao had guessed right; they hadn’t wanted to leave, not because they didn’t want to, but because they had just been born and hadn’t had the chance to leave yet!

"Note, there’s a Matrix here..."

Wang Tao explained this to Lan Yulian and He Jijun.

They lacked night vision ability, so Wang Tao, not wanting to startle the enemy, did not use a flashlight.

He was glad he made that decision and did not expect a Matrix Night Demon to be here. From prior combat experiences, the Matrix Night Demon was not strong, but it had a lot of insect eggs!

The Level 4 Matrix Night Demon could produce Level 4 and Level 5 Bug Eggs, so this Level 5 Matrix Night Demon would definitely be no problem as well, implying that there might be Level 5 Night Demons here!

Fortunately, they had all used Stealth Potions, they were still some distance away from those Night Demons, and had not been discovered.

"What do you say?"

Lan Yulian looked at Wang Tao somewhat eagerly.

The recently killed Level 5 Lord Night Demon had boosted her confidence greatly.

But He Jijun’s expression was very serious. As a veteran soldier, he was well aware that the current situation was not like any before, and he had also considered the matter of the eggs.

"Don’t rush; I need to look carefully to see if there are any Level 5 Night Demons around..."

Wang Tao whispered.

Logically, there should be Level 5 Lords here. He didn’t believe this Matrix Night Demon wouldn’t use Level 5 Bug Eggs, and there might even be Level 6 Bug Eggs!

But Wang Tao hadn’t seen any yet, so he needed to be cautious. Getting ambushed by a Level 5 would be deadly!

Wang Tao observed for quite a while and still did not spot any Level 5 Night Demons, but he noticed something interesting—he saw the process of these Night Demons being born!

The Matrix Night Demon indeed produced eggs. It tossed the eggs into the mouths of the unformed Night Demons, and in a moment, a Level 4 Elite Night Demon appeared! Wang Tao watched it hatch many Night Demons, but they were all Level 4 Elites, not a single Level 4 Lord.

This was entirely different from how Wang Tao used the eggs, as he could produce Level 4 Lords...

Sometimes the Matrix Night Demon would not have time to toss the eggs, allowing some unformed Night Demons to naturally hatch. Then, the Night Demon would become a Level 3 Elite Night Demon.

Wang Tao roughly understood what was happening!

When he used Level 4 Night Demon Parasite Bug Eggs, he just needed to throw them into the Incubation Flesh containing the parasitized creature, and quickly, he would get a Level 4 Elite or a Level 4 Lord Night Demon. The cost was a reduction of 10,000 HP in the Incubation Flesh.

This Matrix Night Demon, when using the eggs, placed them inside the bodies of the unformed Night Demons. Although this method could not hatch Level 4 Lords, only Level 4 Elites, it did not reduce the HP of the Incubation Flesh, which maintained 100,000 HP. This was a form of sustainable development; having many Lords might not be easy to manage, and managing Elites was much simpler…

If there was no external intervention and an unformed Night Demon naturally hatched, it would be a Level 3 Elite, significantly weaker in power…

So, to sum up—naturally hatched Night Demons were Third-order Elites; those that had Level 4 Night Demon Parasite Bug Eggs embedded in them hatched into Fourth-order Elites; if using Incubation Flesh directly to hatch eggs, it could produce a Lord, but this would cause significant damage to the Incubation Flesh...

Having understood all this, Wang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because this clearly indicated that there might really be no other lords here, as a domain generally wouldn’t have too many lords.

However, to be cautious, Wang Tao still didn’t go out and continued to check the situation here. After all, his Stealth Potion lasted for an hour, which was enough for him to use.

Moreover, Wang Tao was somewhat puzzled—even if there were no lords, shouldn’t there be some Level 5 Elite Night Demons? This Level 5 matrix definitely has Level 5 Night Demon Parasite Bug Eggs, and perhaps even Level 6...

About ten minutes later, Wang Tao finally saw a Level 5 Night Demon approaching. However, it wasn’t a lord but rather four Level 5 Elite Night Demons.

Seeing these Level 5 Elite Night Demons, Wang Tao finally completely relaxed.

He could now be fairly certain that, apart from this matrix, there was likely only that one Level 5 Lord Night Demon here before.

After all, too many lords would make it unmanageable, and the elite night demons might not even know whom to listen to. This matrix was also intentionally controlling the types of night demons to prevent the appearance of Night Demon lords.

And if there were no other Night Demon lords, then this matrix alone obviously couldn’t pose any threat to Wang Tao.

As for those Level 4 Elite Night Demons and Level 5 Elite Night Demons, they naturally were a threat, and not a small one at that. But Wang Tao didn’t carry much else, the Ultraviolet Suit was definitely enough!

Wang Tao used Perception once again to carefully probe around and, after confirming there was no problem, he spoke to his fellows:

"The effects of the Stealth Potion will wear off in a few minutes, let’s make our move once it does!"

"Alright!"

The instant the Stealth Potion ended, the other night demons hadn’t yet noticed, but the matrix Night Demon suddenly lifted its head, its gaze bloodthirstily eyeing the direction where Wang Tao was.

But what it saw wasn’t Wang Tao, but several large Ultraviolet Illumination Bombs flying towards it like mini purple suns!

Bang!

Hiss––

The entire nest was instantly illuminated by ultraviolet light, the ultraviolet burning on the night demons’ skins, making sizzling and crackling noises. Countless night demons let out agonizing screams!

Among them, that Level 5 Matrix Night Demon screamed the loudest, but its scream was not just one of pain but also seemed like a command.

The initially panicked elite night demons, running around like headless flies, suddenly seemed to receive some signal and immediately rushed towards the position where Wang Tao and his group were.

This was indeed the matrix Night Demon’s command!

But simply commanding wasn’t enough, the night demons were deathly afraid of ultraviolet light, and it was indeed causing them a lot of damage, and this made these night demons forced to stop midway — because there was too much ultraviolet light around Wang Tao!

High-powered ultraviolet flashlights, Mini Ultraviolet Illumination Shells, Ultraviolet Illumination Light Strips, and the Large Ultraviolet Illumination Bombs that had already lit up the entire underground space earlier…

With so many ultraviolet items in use simultaneously, even if it didn’t reach the degree of the sun, the discomfort it caused the night demons wouldn’t be minor.

The night demons were like hitting an invisible wall, completely unable to advance any further!

The command from the matrix was to attack Wang Tao at all costs, but they simply couldn’t come over... This resulted in them being stuck, unable to advance or retreat, frozen in place! Only those four Level 5 Elite Night Demons braved the ultraviolet light and charged over.

"Indeed, not quite intelligent!"

Wang Tao issued a command to Night Demon II to go and kill those Level 3 and Level 4 Elite Night Demons. It could withstand the ultraviolet light for now, and when it could no longer bear it, Wang Tao would have it revert to a Night Demon Heart.

Wang Tao, meanwhile, engaged in battle with those four Level 5 Elite Night Demons alongside his group.

It must be said, the difference in strength between elites and lords was substantial, after all, it was the difference between awakened and unawakened. It didn’t take long for Wang Tao to take out all those Level 5 Elite Night Demons and then head straight for the matrix Night Demon.

While retreating, the matrix Night Demon flung its hand at Wang Tao, and several small black dots appeared, emitting some piercing shrill screams.

"There truly are Level 6 Night Demon Parasites!"

Wang Tao grinned, a small fireball appearing in his hand.

"But they are just bugs after all—die!"
