I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 68: Zombie

[Host: Zhang Yuan]

[Realm: Tier One (Light Force)]

[Divine Nest: Level 2 (1%)]

[Host: Level 2 Black Giant Ant (18%)/Fourfold Strength] 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

[Host: Level 2 Jade Mantis (5%)/Intermediate Sword Mastery]

[Host: Level 2 Golden Grasshopper (3%)/Fourfold Agility]

[Host: Level 1 White Dragon Loach (27%)/Basic Water Mastery]

[Qi Blood: 95/160]

[Source Material: 17.1]

Zhang Yuan opened the Divine Nest panel for a look.

He had killed over thirty strange creatures in total, harvesting up to 17 points of Source Material, which was quite a bounty.

But the Blood Burning Technique consumed 60 points of his Qi Blood in just two uses!

According to the side notes in the Secret Manual, it is best not to use the Blood Burning Technique more than three times in a single day.

Otherwise, it will affect one’s origin, and in severe cases, even shorten lifespan!

Although just looking at the depletion of Qi Blood, Zhang Yuan should be fine to unleash it two more times.

But the premise is that he cannot simultaneously enhance himself with the Host’s Extraordinary Power.

The Qi Blood won’t be able to handle it!

Thinking it over, Zhang Yuan devoted all the Source Material he just acquired to the fourth Host, the White Dragon Loach.

Previously, the Source Material he infused into the White Dragon Loach only increased the Evolution Level by 27%.

The energy required for this Extraordinary Life Form to advance clearly surpasses that of the Black Giant Ant, Jade Mantis, and Golden Grasshopper.

Closing the panel, Zhang Yuan took out a slice of dry ginseng and put it in his mouth.

Wild Ginseng can both replenish depleted Qi Blood and accelerate its recovery, so he habitually carries a few slices.

It’s just that the effect takes longer and doesn’t work for quick recovery.

Unless it’s an Elixir like the Blood Replenishing Pill.

The Furious Whale Gang does supply Blood Replenishing Pills.

But these elixirs can only be exchanged for battle merits, so Zhang Yuan, who only has one major merit left, didn’t want to spend it.

Now thinking back, it’s still necessary to carry a few for self-defense.

He closed the panel.

Then went to retrieve his Hunting Bow and the arrows he shot into the dense forest.

The arrows, like the Hunting Bow, were custom-made in the Artisan Hall.

Due to the high-quality materials and fine craftsmanship, they were several times more expensive than normal ones.

Naturally, they couldn’t be wasted.

Since all the strange creatures had been completely eliminated by Zhang Yuan.

Although the dense forest remained dark and eerie, the sinister aura had dissipated.

He smoothly retrieved all his arrows.

Following that, Zhang Yuan, accompanied by Da Hu, returned to the Chen Family Village after several months.

The village, which suffered from a strange calamity, was now empty, devoid of the usual smoke and fire, and the sounds of roosters crowing and dogs barking could no longer be heard.

Wild grass grew unchecked on the roads, and rampant vines climbed over rooftops.

Many mud and thatch houses had collapsed as a result.

What met Zhang Yuan’s eyes was a desolate scene.

But he didn’t feel much sadness in his heart.

Zhang Yuan’s family were outsiders, naturally of lower status in the Chen Family Village.

Though most villagers were good, the Zhang Family’s neighbors weren’t poorly behaved.

So long as their interests weren’t threatened.

For an outsider, especially a lonely widow and her child, to say they weren’t bullied in the village would be as ludicrous as a bedtime story!

Especially after Landlord Chen moved in, almost forcing Zhang Yuan into a desperate situation.

No one spoke up for him, at most offering a bit of cheap sympathy.

Thus, Zhang Yuan felt no attachment to the Chen Family Village, and decided to relocate decisively to live in the county town.

This time coming back, he had a specific target in mind.

Zhang Yuan’s target was the Chen Family Ancestral Residence!

When he escaped from Qianfeng Mountain, he unexpectedly ran into Chen Deping and Landlord Chen’s whole family on the way.

Zhang Yuan slew them all without exception.

p>After the battle, he didn’t forget to loot the corpses.

But the treasures he found weren’t much.

Not at least compared to Great Landlord Chen’s status.

Zhang Yuan inferred that they fled in haste and had to leave the silver taels at home.

Today, he wanted to verify whether this guess was correct!

The Chen Family Ancestral Residence was located at the center of the Chen Family Village, a large house with white walls and black tiles. Although weathered by time, it still stood out in the village.

When Zhang Yuan arrived, he saw the courtyard gate wide open, with scattered clothing on the steps.

He drew out his Long Blade and stepped inside.

The energy on the blade from earlier use had almost depleted.

So Zhang Yuan was ready to use the Blood Burning Technique again.

Preparing to battle strange creatures!

The catastrophe that struck Chen Family Village was the deadliest, leaving only a handful of survivors.

Now not only was it completely desolate, but even corpses were nowhere to be seen.

It was as if everyone vanished into thin air.

Given his previous experience, Zhang Yuan heightened his vigilance.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan searched all the rooms in the Chen Family Ancestral Residence and didn’t encounter any strange creatures.

And Da Hu obediently followed behind him, never barking unnecessarily.

This Mountain Guard Dog was not only intelligent but also very sensitive to the presence of strange creatures.

Its normal behavior indicated that there truly were no strange creatures in the house.

The absence of strange creatures was certainly a good thing.

But even after searching for a long time, Zhang Yuan could not find much valuable treasure.

He originally hoped for a windfall to recover his losses.

Is this all he got?

Driven by disappointment, Zhang Yuan returned once more to the master bedroom of Landlord Chen’s dwelling.

To see if there were any overlooked places, such as undiscovered secret compartments.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Just as he entered the room, Da Hu suddenly went on high alert, barking ferociously.

Bang!

Zhang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and before he could react, the floor tile beneath his foot exploded into shards flying everywhere.

A withered clawed hand suddenly emerged from beneath the ground.

Grabbing hold of Zhang Yuan’s ankle!

With immense strength.

Though caught off guard, Zhang Yuan didn’t panic and instinctively swung the Yanling Saber with all his might.

The blade struck precisely at the claw holding him!

Crack!

The withered claw was severed with sheer force.

Zhang Yuan lifted his right foot and stomped down hard.

The dismembered claw gripping his ankle fell away.

Yet the ground bulged abruptly, floor tiles shattering in all directions, sending dust flying everywhere in an instant.

Zhang Yuan had to temporarily retreat from the room.

At that moment, a cyan-skinned zombie leaped out from the ground, opening its bloodthirsty mouth towards him.

Roar～

With a thunderous roar, the terrifying cyan-skinned zombie lunged at Zhang Yuan.

Its right claw swung high, unfurling sharp talons!

Zhang Yuan retreated repeatedly until he was outside in the courtyard.

The cyan-skinned zombie roared, relentlessly pursuing him like a bone-eating maggot, determined to devour Zhang Yuan alive!

At this critical moment, Zhang Yuan faced a choice.

With limited Qi Blood.

Should he use the Blood Burning Technique for the third time, or should he activate the Host’s Extraordinary Power?

To deal with this fierce zombie?

Zhang Yuan quickly made his decision.

Enhance with Power of the Black Giant Ant, Fourfold Strength!

Enhance with Power of the Golden Grasshopper, Fourfold Agility!

Enhance with Power of the Jade Mantis, Intermediate Sword Mastery!

The next moment, his body and limbs rapidly expanded as if inflated.

Muscles bulged and tendons stood out!
