Chapter 182: Chapter 153: Secondary Genetic Core, Sakura Upgrades!_2

"Heh, with Old Pu here, do you think you can still escape?" Li Zheng sneered, following the hints given by Old Pu, quickly locked onto the gray rabbit leader.

The speed of the opponent was eerily swift, navigating through the crowded gray rabbit swarm with seemingly no obstruction, more slippery than a fish in water.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

The voice of the gray rabbit leader became urgent, and the once chaotic rabbit swarm gradually became more stable.

These rabbits lifted their heads, staring intently at Li Zheng in the air. Countless blood-red eyes fixed on him, making Li Zheng’s skin crawl with goosebumps.

"Squeak!"

With this shriek, the ordinary gray rabbits astonishingly leaped up, effortlessly reaching heights of eight or nine meters.

Two gray rabbits directly below jumped up, aiming their open mouths at Li Zheng’s feet.

Their sharp teeth glistened coldly under the light.

Thud! Thud!

With a casual move, he shot them into pieces, blood and meat shattered, as Li Zheng calmly stashed away the Salted Fish Spear and took out the Long Staff.

"Impressive jumping power, I won’t hold back then! Little Sakura!" Li Zheng shrugged his shoulder, letting the little fellow evade: "You stay up there and don’t move."

Then, the flying device’s thrusters abruptly halted, and Li Zheng plummeted like a cannonball.

During this time, numerous gray rabbits leapt to attack Li Zheng, but he swung the Long Staff, reducing them to mush one by one.

Right then, a blood rain fell from the sky.

Upon landing, some blood splattered onto Li Zheng, adding a touch of sinister aura to his demeanor.

"Originally, I just wanted to drive you away."

He swept the staff, turning the gray rabbits into meat paste.

"But the situation now..."

Li Zheng slightly lowered his body, actively diving into the rabbit swarm.

"Annihilate them!"

The Long Staff spun around him tightly, instantly smashing any rabbit that entered Li Zheng’s attack range.

"One... four... ten..."

In just a few steps, he had already smashed ten Silver Level gray rabbits.

Blood and flesh clung to the surface of the Long Staff, flying everywhere as it swung.

"Squeak!"

Another shriek echoed.

The gray rabbits, as if gone mad, launched a suicidal assault, overwhelming the area.

A large number of gray rabbits used their companions as stepping stones, facilitating their leap to shred Li Zheng.

Some even looked up at Little Sakura in the air, leaping high one after another, attacking the little creature.

"Hmm?"

Swat!

Its tail lashed out, knocking one down.

Shii! Shii! Shwu!

Myriad Blades Wind Scroll sliced one to shreds.

As a fellow Silver Level creature, though Little Sakura hadn’t matured, it was still of an Elite Level.

Moreover, the air was its domain. These gray rabbits jumping high were just delivering themselves, no match for Little Sakura.

One person and one pet, both were like meat grinders, rapidly reducing the number of gray rabbits in the field.

Amidst the attack interval, Li Zheng suddenly glimpsed the gray rabbit leader, along with several slightly smaller subordinates, sprinting into the distance.

"Trying to escape?"

Li Zheng’s gaze turned cold; as the leader of the entire tribe, it was fleeing alone, abandoning all its kin, taking only a few elite subordinates?

"Extreme Isolation!"

"Ice and Fire Attachment - Ice Element!"

Blue light flared, freezing cold aura spread, slowing the attacking gray rabbits instantly.

The severe cold almost froze them solid, their blood congealing as if iced over.

"Takeoff!"

Flying low, Li Zheng wasn’t in a hurry to clear the gray rabbits affected by the cold, focusing instead on pursuing the fleeing gray rabbit leader and elites.

"Can you run?"

The flying device was pushed to its limits, trailing a deep azure tail like a meteor, quickly catching up to the fleeing rabbits. The Long Staff shook, smashing down towards the gray rabbit leader.

"Squeak!"

The bulky rabbit seemingly hadn’t anticipated Li Zheng’s speed, shrieking in fear, commanding its elite subordinates to rush forward and block Li Zheng.

"Same tribe leaders, how is there such a difference?" Li Zheng frowned slightly, his hands unceasing, directly swatting away the elite gray rabbits obeying the command.

The elites truly live up to their name, Li Zheng’s staff strike unexpectedly couldn’t blow up the Gray Rabbit Elite like with ordinary Gray Rabbits, it only caused muscle tears and bone fractures.

Even so, the Gray Rabbit Elite was incapacitated after landing and rolling, and soon after, it breathed its last.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

The Gray Rabbit Leader was terrified, letting out sharp screams, ordering the remaining four Gray Rabbit Elites to pounce on Li Zheng.

Watching the Gray Rabbit Elites rushing towards him, Li Zheng felt a surge of disgust for no apparent reason.

"Boring, I’m done playing."

In the next moment, Li Zheng swung his staff faster, creating several afterimages, sending the Gray Rabbit Elites flying one by one.

Finally catching up with the leader, he put away the long staff and took out the Tiberlong Spear.

A black light covered in blue frost flashed, piercing through the hind leg of the Gray Rabbit Leader, pinning it to the ground.

"These little things, although they are Silver Level, their small size and low defense make all their threats come from their speed. Paired with this almost invincible number, it can indeed be tricky for the average player."

Li Zheng descended, released the spear, and took up the Cutting Blade, transforming it into a Tachi form.

The shot was originally aimed at the Gray Rabbit Leader’s head, but it dodged the vital point, only hitting the hind leg.

But that’s enough since it only takes another swipe.

"I have encountered two escaping tribes before; not a single member was abandoned when they fled." Li Zheng raised the Tachi above his head, "You damn coward, running away at the start of the battle, and abandoning almost all your kin. I’ve never seen such a shameless leader as you..."

"Squeak!"

The Gray Rabbit Leader knew its end was near, and struggled frantically, with its pinned hind leg spurting blood.

"Prepare to die...uh?"

Just as he was about to kill the Gray Rabbit Leader, a system notification popped up, causing Li Zheng to pause.

[The Blood-eye Gray Rabbit Leader submits to you, willing to become your pet.]

"Surrender?"

Li Zheng was a bit surprised to see the Gray Rabbit Leader, this rabbit as large as a wolf-dog, lying there with its head on the ground, genuinely submitting to Li Zheng.

Not only that, over two-thirds of the remaining Gray Rabbit group also quieted down, seemingly waiting for Li Zheng to make a decision.

"Become my pet?"

Li Zheng coldly raised the Tachi again and slashed down fiercely: "You’re not worthy!"

"Squeak..."

The Gray Rabbit Leader’s sharp screams abruptly stopped, its head cleaved in half, it collapsed to the ground, twitching a few times before going silent.

With the Gray Rabbit Leader’s death, the regular Gray Rabbit herd became chaotic, suddenly scattering in all directions, fleeing towards several metal doors.

"..." Li Zheng hesitated for a moment and did not pursue, instead decomposing a few advanced Gray Rabbit corpses.

"What a peculiar species, a leader utterly cowardly to the extreme, yet regular Gray Rabbits under its command are fearlessly brave, simply astounding."

[Decomposed Blood-eye Gray Rabbit Leader, obtained: Level 2 Genetic Core +1, Blood...]

...

One by one, all the Gray Rabbits were decomposed. Except for those Gray Rabbits with suffixes, the regular Gray Rabbits only yielded some blood and meat after decomposition, and the quantities were scarce.

On average, yielding only 25ml of blood and half a piece of flesh per rabbit.

Li Zheng didn’t know how this meat was calculated, to even decompose 0.3 pieces of fresh meat, mirroring the Gray Rabbit Leader’s frustrating personality.

Ignoring the irrelevant materials like blood and flesh, Li Zheng’s final earnings were: Level 1 Genetic Core +2, Level 2 Genetic Core +1.

The Genetic Core is not always available to decompose fully.

From this, Li Zheng also discovered a pattern.

Although both are Level 1 Genetic Cores, the ones decomposed from the Gray Rabbit Elites are actually Silver Level, able to help creatures below Silver Level breakthrough to Elite.

Yet previously, what the Vorbat Elite decomposed was a Black Iron Level.

Li Zheng played with the three Genetic Cores: "Does this mean if I kill a Diamond Level elite, the decomposition would yield a Diamond Level Level 1 Genetic Core?"

Calling down Xiao Ying, he threw it the Level 2 Genetic Core, waiting for it to advance.

Meanwhile, he remembered a guy who similarly owned a pet.

"Phoenix Mountain, with his father backing him now, surely he won’t ask for credit again this time?"

Opening the private chat to find the man surnamed Feng, Li Zheng suddenly realized.

"Damn it, that guy still owes me a Bronze Level Active Core!"

...

Three minutes later, Li Zheng traded a Genetic Core with Phoenix Mountain for a Silver Level Active Core, incidentally clearing the debt from the previous visit to the leisure room.

"I’ll throw this remaining one in the trading hall."

At this time, after eating the Genetic Core, Xiao Ying also completed its upgrade.

With the promotion to Leader Level, Xiao Ying underwent a drastic transformation.
