C26 Pica's Effect

Countless catabolic beasts were fighting each other on the battlefield, and they were already fighting to the death.

In fact, Zhang Ping's fragrance of roasted rabbit meat did not affect the battlefield at all.

The main thing was that the battlefield itself was filled with a stench. There was blood, feces, and all kinds of super-powerful liquids that emitted a foul smell. With so many smells mixed together, Zhang Ping's smell was not even worth mentioning in the battlefield.

Zhang Ping walked around the edge of the battlefield. The thing that left the deepest impression on him was the heat wave and the indescribable stench that was emitted from the battlefield. This was also the reason why he dared to roast the rabbit. He knew very well that this would not attract the attention of the catabolic beasts.

However, he missed out something.

...

At the edge of the battlefield, a black dog's nose twitched, and then it looked outside the battlefield. Its gaze locked onto the rock where Zhang Ping was hiding.

This was a Nairound. The reason why it appeared on the battlefield was because of the smell of corpses.

The nose of the Nairound was very sensitive. It could smell the scent of corpses from a few kilometers away.

"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!"

When the Nec Nogoiund smelled the roasted rabbit, it immediately let out a bark that sounded like a dog from Africa.

After a moment.

Two of the two corpses came over and moved towards Zhang Ping's direction.

Behind the rock.

Zhang Ping tore off a rabbit leg and took a bite. His eyes lit up slightly. The taste of this meat was too good.

It was not that he had never eaten delicious food before, but the rabbit meat was even better than all the meat he had eaten before. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Moreover, the chewiness of the meat was very strong. Every mouthful of it would make the fresh and delicious juices seep out.

The Corroding Bullet Rabbit had a large number of poisonous glands, which were connected to the sweat glands. When the water and blood were mixed and heated, not only did it lose its corrosive properties, it also turned into a special smell.

This was a smell that could not be found on Earth.

Zhang Ping ate the meat in big mouthfuls. Suddenly, his ears twitched and he jumped up from the ground.

All of a sudden, a zombie dog attacked from behind the rock. He quickly jumped back to dodge the attack, but a zombie dog also appeared behind him.

In a split-second, he let go of the small Nether Fog knife in his hand.

The small knife formed by the Nether Fog turned into a flying dagger in the blink of an eye, and it shot towards the Nether Fog behind him.

The Necevius reacted quickly and dodged to the side. However, it did not know that Zhang Ping's flying dagger would turn a corner, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced through its head. It wailed and fell to the ground.

It was too late.

After dealing with the threat from behind him, Zhang Ping continued to retreat. At the same time, he waved his right hand forward, and flames shot out from his palm, forming a barrier. The Nec Grassetund in front of him immediately retreated, and a black flying dagger bloomed from the flames. Before the Nec Grassetund could react, its head exploded.

"Black skin and red eyes, human teeth, this is a Nec Thoinund?"

Zhang Ping only had time to observe after killing the two catabolic beasts.

However, when he recognized the Nec Nogiwaund, his expression slightly changed. He immediately jumped up. The moment he jumped up, the ground under his feet exploded. A Nec Nogiwaund crawled out from the ground and bit him. It almost bit his balls.

'Dead!'

Zhang Ping was shocked and afraid at the same time. He immediately controlled the Nether Fog flying dagger to shoot the head of the Nether Fog.

Fortunately, he had learned about the Nairound from Liu Tiefeng. He knew that the Nairound had the ability to dig a hole quickly, and it liked to attack from both sides.

Their habits were similar to African hyenas, and they were all good at digging their anuses.

Thinking about the consequences of being ambushed by the Nec Nogiwaund, Zhang Ping felt a chill down his spine.

After a while, he finally calmed down.

Recalling the knowledge Liu Tiefeng had taught him, he began to collect useful materials from the corpses of the Nairound.

"Did you kill them?"

While Zhang Ping was cutting the claws of the Nether Fog, Liu Sishan returned.

She was still completely clean, surrounded by a water ball, and holding a Salt Rust Fruit in her hand. It was obvious that snatching a Salt Rust Fruit was not difficult for her.

Zhang Ping stopped what he was doing and was about to speak when a Flow Whip appeared at the edge of his neck.

"Sisi, what are you doing?" Zhang Ping quickly raised his hand and asked in confusion.

Liu Sishan did not answer. She slowly walked towards Zhang Ping and rolled his eyes. Then, she went behind Zhang Ping and looked at him. After a while, the Flow Whip was removed.

"You encountered the catabolic beast?" Liu Sishan asked seriously.

Zhang Ping noticed something from Liu Sishan's attitude and told her what he had experienced.

The main reason was that there was no need to hide it. Unless he had a treasure or ability to conceal his own attributes, no one would be able to appraise his attributes when he returned to Pearl City.

After Liu Sishan heard Zhang Ping's explanation, she was silent for a while. Then, she turned around and took a few deep breaths, as if she wanted to calm down. However, in the end, she suddenly turned around and pressed Zhang Ping against a rock. She raised her head and glared at Zhang Ping and said angrily, "Zhang Ping, do you think you have a long life? You even dare to eat unknown things. Do you know that you almost died?"

"You almost died?" Zhang Ping frowned and said in disbelief.

Liu Sishan said solemnly, "The appraisal can indeed provide you with a lot of information, but it is not the complete information. If the appraisal can really provide you with all the information, do you know how much information a stone can provide? If you can't even appraise the information of a stone, what makes you think that you know what you appraised?"

"Sisi, are you saying that the thing I ate is actually dangerous?" Zhang Ping immediately realized what Liu Sishan wanted to express.

Liu Sishan said in a deep voice, "The Nether Fog catabolic beast is a creature with an unknown origin. They don't have a specific form, and they usually live in the bodies of some creatures. They are like parasites, but after the host dies, they will enter the host's organ and wait for the next host.

"In other words, you were almost parasitized."

"What's the bad side of being parasitized?" Zhang Ping asked.

Liu Sishan glanced at the small blade in Zhang Ping's hand and replied, "Once a catabolic beast is parasitized by the Nether Fog, it is equivalent to brain death. The black goat you mentioned is probably the puppet of the catabolic beast. What do you think is the bad side of it?"

Brain death was equivalent to death.

Suddenly, Zhang Ping recalled the miserable scream that he had heard when his abdomen was in pain. It was the catabolic beast that wanted to parasitize him.

Then why did the parasitization fail?

Wait a minute.

The order of the appraisal seemed to be related to the order in which the abilities were obtained.

The Pica was in front of the body of the Nether Fog. Could it be that I ate something and activated the Pica?

Following that, the Pica devoured the Nether Fog catabolic beast?

"Listen up, Zhang Ping. I will tell you seriously that any object that could obtain an ability contains unknown risks. There is no free lunch in the world. If you easily obtain an item that can obtain an ability, then the first thing you need to do is to be vigilant.

Think about it carefully. How many people in Pearl City have more than two superpowers? If it is so easy to obtain superpowers, do you think that the number of Awakened in Pearl City, or even the number of Awakened with three superpowers, will be few?" Liu Sishan looked at Zhang Ping and said earnestly.

Only then did Zhang Ping realize.

In the history of Pearl City, countless heroes had appeared, but not many Awakened had two abilities.

There were indeed exceptions.

However, those were all abilities derived from their own abilities.

For example, the ability that Liu Sishan had mentioned before was the ability of 'Transcendental Adaptation'. However, their other abilities came from their own abilities and not through external sources.

However, Zhang Ping thought of his previous guess.

If the Pica really digested the Nether Fog and catabolic beast, then it would not be impossible for him to try it again in the future.

However, he had to verify this guess first, or else it would be better not to recklessly take the risk.

After Liu Sishan was angry, she quickly calmed down. The main thing was that Zhang Ping was not only fine, but he had also obtained a very special ability. It was a bit too much for him to continue being unrelenting.

In the end, she just didn't want Zhang Ping to take such a risk in the future.

"Let's go. Something big is about to happen here." She glanced at the battlefield and continued.

Zhang Ping asked curiously, "What big thing?"

"Have you ever thought about why so many catabolic beasts are fighting for their lives here with only a few fruits that can increase their potential?" Liu Sishan asked as she walked.

Zhang Ping nodded and said, "I have thought about it, but I didn't expect the answer."

"The Salt Rust Tree absorbs a large amount of blood in a short period of time, and one of the fruits will change from an ordinary Salt Rust Fruit to a Blood Salt Fruit. After eating the Blood Salt Fruit, the catabolic beasts will be able to evolve again. This is the treasure that the catabolic beasts really need!" Liu Sishan turned around and handed the Salt Rust Fruit to Zhang Ping. She looked at the Salt Rust Tree in the distance and said.

Zhang Ping said in surprise, "Then what about the human?"

"The blood salt fruit is useless to humans. The seniors of Pearl City have tried it before, but they all exploded and died." Liu Sishan said.

Some of the heavenly treasures were only useful to humans, but the heavens were fair. Some of the heavenly treasures were only useful for catabolic beasts, and they were poisonous to humans.

Zhang Ping and Liu Sishan returned to the camp.

There were many salt transporters resting in the camp at night, and there were also people gathered around the bonfire to talk and laugh.

When the two of them returned to the tent, Liu Sishan took out a jar of water and handed it to Zhang Ping. She said, "Now, hurry up and eat the Salt Rust Fruit. Drink more water."

"Oh."

Zhang Ping took the water and took a bite of the Salt Rust Fruit. His face immediately wrinkled, and he quickly drank a few mouthfuls of water.

It was too salty.

Although Liu Sishan had told him before that the salt of the Salt Rust Fruit was very high, he really didn't expect that the fruit would be so salty that it would taste bitter and sour.

The sour and bitter taste was mixed with a strange smell of a fruit. It was too unpleasant.

"Zhang Ping, didn't your teacher teach you not to drink water from others easily in the wild? You can't even drink natural water?" Liu Sishan suddenly asked.

Zhang Ping squinted his eyes and suddenly widened them. He found that there was water in his stomach.

"Sisi, the water I just drank was made from pure water?" He looked at Liu Sishan and asked with a bitter expression.

Liu Sishan said calmly, "Your life is now in my hands …"

Before she could finish her sentence.

The water in her and Zhang Ping's stomach had lost contact.
