Wasteland Border Inspector-Chapter 319 - 135: Scorching Eagle Flame, A New Path! _2
Thinking about this, Cheng Ye suddenly felt a sense of doubt.
If the Scorching Eagle on Liu Kun’s shoulder is the same eagle that initially fused with the Fire Lotus power,
then why are its three fire skills at the lowest level, Level 1?
Or perhaps Liu Kun’s Scorching Eagle is also just an offspring of the first-generation Extraordinary Scorching Eagle,
just like his current fledgling, only inheriting a sliver of Extraordinary Power?
Could it be that the eagle soaring in the sky had long fallen, and the current Scorching Eagle has no direct bloodline, but rather another eagle later inherited its power, allowing the extraordinary to be passed on?
If that’s truly the case, what kind of terrifying power would the original Extraordinary Scorching Eagle possess?
"Hmm, maybe that’s correct because Liu Kun is also trying to enhance his power. He chose to fuse with the Rotting Vine, similar to how I’m using charging value for Information Fusion, isn’t it?"
Cheng Ye suddenly recalled the scene of Liu Kun injecting the Rotting Vine into his own body.
Without a direct panel display showing status, Liu Kun managed to find his own path of enhancement through exploration.
Bearing the enormous risk of infection source backlash, he used his own body as a medium to attempt to gain additional Growth Value.
How similar this is to the panel prompt of "Fusing with skills marked with *"?
Only Liu Kun’s method is more primitive and dangerous.
Thinking about this, Cheng Ye turned his gaze to the Ability section and clicked on the detailed description of the Scorching Eagle Coexistence State.
[Scorching Eagle Coexistence State (Prototype)]
[Description]: After activating, you will complete an extraordinary symbiosis with a Scorching Eagle fledgling, gaining Skill Sharing, Attribute Sharing, and Ability Sharing.
[Current State]: Prototype
[Currently Shareable Skills]:
Scorching Eagle Swallowing Fire (Lv0, none, can minimally devour flames to heal wounds)
Hovering (Lv0, none, gain a brief hovering ability when falling from a height)
[Currently Shareable Attributes]: None (Since the current attributes of the Collector far exceed those of the Scorching Eagle fledgling, no effective Attribute Sharing can be provided)
[Currently Shareable Abilities]: Firewood Power (Lv0, none, minimal increase in high-temperature resistance)
...
Sure enough, after entering Coexistence State, all of the Extraordinary Creature’s abilities can be shared.
"Hey, Scorching Eagle Swallowing Fire?!"
Cheng Ye’s eyes scanned over and fixated on the shareable skills section, overjoyed.
While searching for Liu Kun during the day, he envied this skill that could heal by devouring fire, imagining it would pair perfectly with Wild Grass Physique and Iron Body, further strengthening his envisioned peculiar path.
He never expected to obtain it in this manner.
Of course, Liu Kun’s Scorching Eagle’s Swallowing Fire is at Level 1, Perfect Level, while his is only Level 0, with no rating, a complete blank slate in every sense.
But is that a problem?
"Raise this little guy well. The stronger it gets, don’t I also become stronger?"
Cheng Ye felt a surge of excitement.
This is way more satisfying than a dry Extraordinary Skill alone.
As long as the Scorching Eagle fledgling continues to grow, he could directly inherit a plethora of high-level skills in the future, unlocking an array of abilities he couldn’t even imagine.
Even...
Just thinking about the attribute boost from the Tear of the Horned Starfish made Cheng Ye’s heartbeat quicken.
Compared to the frail human physique, the growth ceiling of Extraordinary Creatures is noticeably higher.
Just like Liu Kun’s Scorching Eagle, he couldn’t even get close to it, and even just a glance was repressed by its Life Level. Wonder what how strong would Liu Kun become after coexisting with it?
"Hmm, the question now is, I don’t know how fast this fledgling can grow..."
Cheng Ye looked down at the fledgling on the bed that had just eaten its fill. The little creature was lying with its belly up, dozing off, its tender beak opening and closing slightly, endearingly clumsy.
The fire basin found manages to solve the short-term food problem with its three fire flames.
Especially after eating the dry firewood, the fledgling gained Firewood Power.
Though a weakened version, after symbiosis, it still can increase his resistance to high temperatures.
In the future, perhaps consuming enough quantities might make it possible to ignore high temperatures directly after symbiosis.
As for when the three fire flames are consumed, the factory on the pedestrian street should also be set up by then.
Purchasing firewood and coal then shouldn’t be difficult, as long as the fledgling’s appetite isn’t outrageous, supply shouldn’t be an issue.
"Now this is where staying in a large Shelter City shows its advantages. With money, these resources can be easily purchased, without having to run around collecting by myself."
"But... it also means more expenditure."
Cheng Ye smiled, his thoughts taking an unexpected turn, wondering if charcoal also comes in various grades, just like milk powder, categorized into different levels with domestic and imported varieties.
Going further, on an Earth without Extraordinary Power, finding natural fire would be quite hard, limited to only a few different types.
But in the current environment, is there a chance for naturally occurring Anomalous Fire?"
Thinking about this brought joy to Cheng Ye, who hurriedly shook his head to dismiss these whimsical thoughts.
After a while, he remembered he hadn’t tried the feeling of Coexistence State yet.
"Little one, this is our first time coexisting; if you feel uncomfortable, you must let me know."
Cheng Ye gently nudged the fledgling’s wing with his fingertip, his tone carrying a hint of novelty.
Surprisingly, the fledgling chirped twice, seemingly responding to him.
"Ah, as expected of an Extraordinary Creature, so clever just after being born."
Thinking of Hei in the quarantine Zone C, Cheng Ye took a deep breath, focusing his concentration according to the information from the Collector.
Entering Coexistence State is very simple, just like operating the panel, it only requires the mind.
