Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

Seeing that his shot had emptied the HP bar of the Black Giant Snake, Wang Tao couldn't help but break into a grin.

Seeing the HP bar was always satisfying, putting other things aside, at the very least, snagging the last hit was a sure thing!

Especially since the defense of this Black Giant Snake was so high, causing others to inflict low damage and reduce HP slowly, Wang Tao didn't have to worry about the Giant Serpent suddenly dropping dead. He just needed to watch its HP and trigger his gun when it had only a thousand HP left.

But this couldn't really be considered kill-stealing, since he was the main attacker. If there'd been a damage counter, one would see that his attacks alone accounted for more than half of the total.

If Lan Yulian hadn't added Fire attribute attacks to the others, their damage likely wouldn't even have reached half of that.

Wang Tao did a lot of damage, but the cost was also significant. For instance, the Level 4 Epic Crystal Cores, which served as "bullets" for his Crystal Energy Gun, he had used up as many as six!

The Blood Regeneration speed of the Black Giant Snake was too fast, doubling the consumption Wang Tao had expected.

Thankfully, killing the monster would result in extra Loot Packs, otherwise, he might have made a loss...

Of course, even without the Loot Packs, Wang Tao still had to kill it. After all, this was likely the first kill of a Disaster-level creature, and Wang Tao was quite curious whether it would drop anything good.

"Everyone rest on the spot!"

After seeing the Black Giant Snake die, Cheng Yiyi didn't go to check the corpse right away. Instead, she had everyone quickly rest and reorganize. After all, they were in the wild, and securing their personal safety was paramount.

As to who killed the Giant Serpent, Cheng Yiyi wasn't sure either. The firepower just now was intense, and it seemed like the Black Giant Snake was battered badly, as if everyone's attacks were potent... Plus, she couldn't see the exact damage numbers, so she couldn't judge.

Wang Tao may have had high damage, but he attacked less frequently. When Wang Tao fired his gun just now, countless bullets also hit the Giant Serpent. She felt it wasn't certain that Wang Tao would get the kill, as it largely depended on luck...

"Zhou Long has fainted!"

Qi De had been slacking off with a gun after striking that one blow, quite comfortably at that.

Seeing Zhou Long faint, he immediately rushed over and carried Zhou Long back.

Wang Tao saw Zhou Long still had over fifty thousand HP; he had just fainted from exhaustion and didn't look further.

He held Lan Yulian's hand beside him and asked,

"Are you okay?"

Lan Yulian's face was very pale. Although she wasn't as uncomfortable as Zhou Long in this battle, she was also very tired.

After all, Healing abilities consumed Mana, and when too much Mana was expended, one would naturally feel mentally fatigued, and there was nothing available to recover Mana...

It was only because she was familiar with her abilities and knew how to conserve her energy, and combined with the gradual increase in her Mana, that she could hold out until now. But even so, her Mana was nearly depleted.

"I'm okay, just a bit tired... But it was worth it to kill this monster!"

Lan Yulian, with her eyes closed, leaned on Wang Tao, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

This was her first time exerting her full power after her Awakening. Because of her, although some members of their three-hundred-person team were injured, none died!

This sense of achievement was something she'd never experienced before!

"How about I replenish some of your energy later?"

Wang Tao suddenly whispered teasingly into her ear; his Yin and Yang Balance ability could replenish both of their Mana, though the process was somewhat special.

"No way!"

Lan Yulian immediately shot Wang Tao a disapproving look.

There wasn't a private space for their Yin and Yang Balance now. If it were just the two of them, she'd be quite willing.

"Madam Lan, are you alright?"

Cheng Yiyi walked over in her Powered Armor.

"I'm okay, just a little too tired..."

Lan Yulian struggled to leave Wang Tao's embrace.

Cheng Yiyi was considering inviting Lan Yulian to her Legion. Although Lan Yulian was the president of an organization, that didn't interfere, and there was no need for Lan Yulian to stay permanently; having her as a consultant would also be nice. But seeing Lan Yulian's exhausted face, she held back for the moment and instead directly said,

"We owe you a lot this time! You guys have priority in distributing the Loot!"

She didn't mince words and allowed Wang Tao first dibs on the loot.

If they hadn't encountered Wang Tao and his group by chance, they would have had no way to deal with the Black Giant Snake.

The Giant Serpent caused those around it to continuously lose Life Energy, preventing close combat and forcing them to attack from a distance.

But the Giant Serpent's defense was too strong, and their Ranged Attacks were ineffective. And among their three Awakeners, at least two and a half were close-combatants, unable to engage in melee either...

So it wasn't that they weren't powerful, but their abilities were just perfectly countered by this Giant Serpent.

"Haha, sure thing!"

Wang Tao didn't stand on ceremony, after all, he had consumed so many Crystal Cores, so it was only right that he got first pick of the loot.

Once everyone had rested and was ready to inspect the Black Giant Snake's corpse, suddenly someone exclaimed,

"I feel terrible..."

"Retreat quickly!"

Seeing the pallor on the faces of those at the front suddenly change, Cheng Yiyi immediately ordered a retreat.

Wang Tao's brow instantly furrowed.

The people at the front were losing HP!

This Disaster-level Giant Serpent was already dead, how could it still cause ongoing HP loss?

The team retreated again, and several Healing ability users in Cheng Yiyi's team rushed to replenish the few affected. Everyone's faces looked grim.
