I Open Treasure Chests in the Apocalypse

When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 1331 Swallowing the Starry Sky

Jiang Yuan walked straight out of the camp. The Zerg in the Golden Triangle cannot be dealt with overnight. According to Jiang Jun's preliminary estimate, there are at least ten million Zerg in the Golden Triangle. This number is terrifying. You will even find that the Zerg are everywhere when you reach the Zerg hive.

However, the sheer number of them wasn't a problem for Jiang Yuan. He was worried about where to collect the Marks of the Dead, and creatures like the Zerg, with their extremely high reproductive capacity, were the best targets for obtaining the Marks of the Dead.

"Master, would you like me to accompany you?" The tomb maiden followed behind.

"No need, you stay here and report to me immediately if anything happens." Jiang Yuan left the Tomb Maiden at the camp, where there was always a battle situation, and having the Tomb Maiden there would provide great protection.

Jiang Yuan walked into the forest. This place was no longer in China, but the primeval forest of the Golden Triangle was also known as China's backyard. He felt no sense of unfamiliarity as he stepped on this land.

The strong have always prevailed, while the weak have always shelved disputes—this is an eternal truth. After the catastrophe, the Miao and Tan tribes here were unable to defend themselves, and it was only through continuous military intervention by the Chinese that they were able to resist the foreign tribes. Therefore, it is perfectly justifiable for them to take over now.

"These Zerg really live up to their name; they're like locusts wherever they go!"

Jiang Yuan looked at the desolate primeval forest and was speechless. He had walked several thousand meters and had not seen a single powerful spirit beast or alien race. It could be said that all living beings here had been wiped out by the insect race.

With the idea of ​​trying his hand at swallowing the stars, Jiang Yuan continued to venture deeper, and after walking fifty kilometers, he finally made his progress.

"Could we be so lucky? Could we have gotten an extra bonus on this trip?"

Jiang Yuan checked himself over and wondered if he was wearing Liu Zhaodi's lucky set, otherwise how could he be so lucky?

Not far from him, a cave leading directly underground was hidden at the bottom of the river.

This cave is very well hidden. It uses the burrowing techniques commonly used by beavers. Although the entrance is at the bottom of the river, it is cleverly connected to the top, perfectly utilizing the river water to avoid being perceived by other people's spiritual senses.

"You guys are unlucky to have run into me!"

Without hesitation, Jiang Yuan jumped into the river and headed straight for the cave entrance. In his intuition, he knew that a medium-sized Holy Spirit Marrow vein was hidden here. The output of a medium-sized vein had reached hundreds of thousands, which was definitely a windfall for Jiang Yuan, who was out of ammunition and food.

There was no other way; he had invested all his Holy Spirit Stones and Divine Blood Stones into the Samsara World, otherwise he wouldn't have even survived the tribulation. Moreover, because of Mi Tan'er's death, he developed an almost obsessive greed for cultivation resources; he wanted everything.

This was also out of fear. If he had had enough resources to fill the energy gap in the cycle of reincarnation, he wouldn't have absorbed the energy of the Fuxi Qin, Mi Tan'er wouldn't have died because of him, and he wouldn't have needed to bear a debt of love that he could never repay.

He had already taken everything from Mi Tan'er on the night they parted, and in the end, Mi Tan'er died in battle because of him, which was destined to become one of his greatest regrets.

"Open the Heavenly Eye!"

Inside the dark stone cave, a pair of heavenly eyes saw everything, but the next second, a black shadow pounced on him.

"Xuanshen Realm!"

Jiang Yuan's gaze sharpened as he saw the other party's information: it was a Gold-Eating Rat. This creature could bite through minerals a whole realm higher than itself with a single bite of its teeth, making it an extremely monstrous spirit beast.

"Sword Soul - Sword Drawing Stance!"

A flash of sword light, and the dog-sized gold-devouring rat was instantly cleaved in two. No matter how strong your teeth are, they're nothing but tofu before the Gentleman's Sword.

"Obtained Mark of the Dead*1, Obtained Intermediate Ore Pattern".

There were very few items, and they were all taken from the other party by the hand of death, but Jiang Yuan dared not be negligent. He kept in mind the purpose of his visit: to test the power of the Devouring Star.

"The Imperial Seal of the State, use it to suppress them."

A golden light shot out, and Jiang Yuan directly used his own luck and the power of the Imperial Seal to suppress the entire mine. He couldn't determine the limit of the Devouring Starry Sky's devouring power, so he suppressed the mine in advance. If the Devouring Starry Sky could devour the mine along with it, that would be the best. Otherwise, he would have to obtain it manually.

"suck!"

The dead body of the Gold-Eating Rat rapidly approached him, and even every drop of blood that was falling was reversed, before entering Jiang Yuan's body without leaving a single drop.

"call!"

Jiang Yuan opened his eyes and the first thing he did was take a deep breath. He had underestimated the power of the Devouring Starry Sky; this talent was simply too abnormal.

Moreover, during the experiment just now, he gained a basic understanding of Swallowed Star, which has two modes.

The first is the cultivation mode, in which the degree of absorption will be increased to the maximum. The degree of absorption depends on the target's rank, ranging from 50% to 100%. This is a terrifying talent that can achieve 100% absorption.

Another mode is the combat mode, where the degree of absorption will be greatly reduced, but it has an additional, terrifying effect: the target's power will continuously flow into the talent user's body, achieving a state of ebb and flow. Most importantly, this state is an area-of-effect attack.

"Gold-eating rats? You're out of luck. I've got my eye not only on your veins, but also on your mineral patterns!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuan activated the Devouring Starry Sky technique, which, of course, was in combat mode in this kind of place.

Devouring is going against the heavens, which fits his identity as a rebel!

As soon as the Devouring Starry Sky was activated, all the Gold-Eating Rats in the entire mine became restless. But it was like a dimensional reduction attack; many Gold-Eating Rats didn't even realize what was happening before their energy was completely plundered.
