Chapter 43

After about half an hour of battle, the number of mutated beasts killed by Cheng Yang had exceeded eight hundred. However, at this point, Cheng Yang's magic energy potions were completely depleted. Relying solely on his own magic energy recovery ability, it would be very difficult to kill the remaining three hundred or so mutated beasts.

Cheng Yang then ignored these bloodthirsty wolves and rushed in the direction Yu Kai had left.

A few minutes later, Cheng Yang met up with Yu Kai.

"Boss, how's the situation? I heard the commotion from your side was quite intense," Yu Kai immediately asked.

Cheng Yang quickly replied, "Basically resolved, but there are still over three hundred ordinary wolves. My magic energy potions are all used up. Give me five bottles of the potions you prepared."

The medium-sized magic energy potions Yu Kai carried were originally prepared for Cheng Yang. Hearing Cheng Yang's instructions, he immediately took them out of his backpack.

Cheng Yang took them and said, "You hold out for another ten minutes, then meet me at the entrance of the passage." After saying this, Cheng Yang turned and left.

Cheng Yang quickly returned to the original battlefield. At this moment, the group of ordinary wolves had already chased him for three to four hundred meters. When Cheng Yang arrived, it signaled the end of their lives.

In just a few minutes, Cheng Yang completely wiped out these wolves. Seeing the 1,200 spirit points in his account, Cheng Yang deeply felt that the greater the crisis, the greater the harvest. Such high-intensity battles were indeed the best choice for accumulating spirit points.

After the battle, Cheng Yang did not pay attention to the corpses of the wolves. Although these could be used as meat, for now, the meat of the wolves was not something most people could accept, as these creatures were too dirty.

When Cheng Yang returned to the passage, he suddenly noticed an item placed on the ground. This undoubtedly surprised Cheng Yang greatly.

In his previous life, he had never heard of such a situation. Could it be that his appearance in this life had caused some changes? If so, his luck was really too good. In fact, Cheng Yang didn't know that this wasn't due to any changes. In his previous life, someone else had also obtained this item, but they used it amidst the chaos, and no one noticed. This person died shortly after the passage was breached, and the matter quietly passed.

Cheng Yang quickly walked over and picked up the item, which was something similar to a scroll.

Cheng Yang had seen many such items in his previous life. They were either skill scrolls or one-time dungeon entry vouchers. Of course, the best were building blueprints, which could add new structures to a base.

Cheng Yang opened the blueprint with a sense of anticipation, but found that it was not the building blueprint he had hoped for, but a skill scroll. This made him slightly disappointed.

However, when Cheng Yang saw the skill description, his disappointment vanished. This was undoubtedly an incredibly powerful skill.

Grafting (Level 1, Special): Transfer one of your attributes (excluding health and magic energy) to others, reducing your other attributes (excluding health and magic energy) by 50%, lasting for 1 minute. At Level 1, the skill can transfer to five people. The duration, the reduction in attributes, and the number of people that can be transferred to change as the skill level increases. Learning requirement: Intermediate Apprentice Warrior.

Cheng Yang saw the word "special" and knew this item was extraordinary. In his previous life, special skills were extremely rare, and each was very powerful. Of course, it was extremely difficult to level up special skills.

After reading all the attributes of Grafting, Cheng Yang instantly understood why the wolf leaders had suddenly increased in speed during the previous battle. This was definitely because the wolf leader also possessed this skill, and its skill level was probably not just Level 1. It took him four magic missiles to finally kill the opponent.

The wolves' health was already a weak point. With his current attack power, the first three attacks must have taken away at least 90 health points from the wolf leader. This means that even without the health weakness, the reduction in attributes after using Grafting would not exceed 20%. What a powerful skill!

Cheng Yang could already imagine the scene of leading five people to farm monsters. He could transfer his attack power to five people, then occupy a strategic position, making it impossible for anyone to pass. The efficiency of farming monsters would be beyond description. Of course, if these five people were all ranged, it would be even more perfect.

However, Grafting was just a skill scroll, not a skill inheritance bead. Otherwise, if this skill were widely spread, it would definitely make Luofeng Village invincible.

Cheng Yang chose to learn the skill. In the apocalypse, no one would complain about becoming stronger. No one was more suitable to use this skill than Cheng Yang.

A few minutes later, Yu Kai and the others also arrived near the passage. Many of the warriors' armor had signs of damage, indicating that the battle was not easy. If it weren't for the system, they would probably be covered in blood.

"Yangzi, from your expression, it seems you had a good harvest," Liu Hao said with a smile.

Cheng Yang nodded and said, "Not bad. How about you? What's your harvest?"

Liu Hao said, "My team killed about five hundred mutated beasts. On average, each person earned about fifteen spirit points. Adding the spirit points we earned on the way, we have nearly thirty points. The harvest is much better than the previous days."

Yu Kai said his harvest was similar to Liu Hao's.

Li Wanshan then said with a troubled look, "Lord, my team's harvest is similar to Captain Liu and Captain Yu, but there were casualties. This is due to my poor command. Please punish me, Lord!"

Cheng Yang's expression instantly stiffened. Although he had mentally prepared for this, the sudden appearance of casualties still made him uneasy. In the days since the apocalypse, he had been very cautious, not daring to act rashly without complete confidence, for fear of casualties. After all, any warrior who grew up from the beginning of the apocalypse was a valuable asset.

But how can there be a war without casualties? Although the scale is not as large as in wars between countries, the cruelty is even greater. This is not a battle between humans, but between humans and mutated beasts. Defeat means no prisoners, only death. The massacre of a city, once the most brutal form of war, is now a common occurrence, and even the complete consumption of a city's population is possible.

"How serious are the casualties?" Cheng Yang asked.

Li Wanshan said, "One person died, and the injured have already fully recovered after taking a life potion."

Cheng Yang felt somewhat relieved. One death was within his tolerance. He immediately said, "Bury the dead person on the spot. We cannot let our brothers become food for beasts. If he has a family, take good care of them, provide them with job opportunities, and compensate them with some spirit points. This will also serve as your punishment! In the future, we will establish a system where any team that experiences casualties will be responsible for the compensation and aftercare, and it must meet a certain standard. We will discuss and decide on the specific standard later."
