Chapter 79: Flaming Cloud

Translator:Editor:

Luo Yuan spent about 15 minutes trying to drag the skull back to the house. The skull was too big to fit through the entrance of the chamber, so he had to leave it in the living room. Apparently, the Zhanmadao was not suitable for skull dissecting. It was not a heavy weapon and its blade was too thin and weak for strong, hard objects like bones. Of course, it could use its power to do that, but it was too dangerous. It could burn out at any time under such dangerous circumstances.

He found an ax inside the house, put it on the neck bone of the gorilla, and started to cast a spell. The brightness on the bone immediately faded and became a dull white. It looked like it had just been oxidized. Several tiny pores appeared on its surface. At the same time, the temperature of the ax started to increase and it began to burn his hand.

Although the ax was covered by a layer of red paint, underneath that layer it had become very smooth and shiny. No one would believe it was an ax unless they had seen it evolve themselves. Most people would think that it was jade carved into the shape of an ax. Luo Yuan picked up the ax and realized it had gotten heavier. The weight was just perfect for him.

‘Strong Skeleton Axe.'

‘Material: Alloy, Gorilla Bone.'

‘Rarity: Dark Blue. ‘

‘Weight: 5.3kg.'

‘Power: 32-35'

‘Complementary property 1: Attack Speed -1'

‘Complementary property 2: Explosive Attack. The strongest attack power. Cooldown time: 24 hours.'

‘Equipment Requirements: 11-point Power'

‘Comments: This is a very powerful ax!'

The characteristics of the ax had become scarier after it had evolved. It had even surpassed in power the Zhanmadao. Although its first complementary property was a bit disappointing, Luo Yuan was amazed by the second one. The key was that it didn’t have many restrictions. For example, the Zhanmadao required knife expertise for someone to use it. Of course, the only downside was that he could only rely on his fate for the ax to attack explosively. However, the ax had already been a very powerful weapon even before it had reached this optimum stage.

The diameter of the skull was about 1.2 or 1.3 meters, which was sufficient to produce 4-5 strong weapons. However, that was not the first time he had thought about that. He lifted the ax and chopped down the skull, producing a strong, high-pitch sound as flesh and blood spilled all over the place.

When Luo Yuan had hit it about ten times, a light flashed across. His face suddenly turned red as the image of a roaring mad gorilla crept into his mind. He suddenly felt extremely mad and furious. He opened his mouth involuntarily and roared like a gorilla.

His body shook a little as a strong energy was released from it. Suddenly, his muscles began to expand, and so did his veins and arteries. He instantly became tall and huge, and his eyes turned red. The soul of the gorilla seemed to be possessing his body. He felt extremely furious as he lifted the ax with both his hands and chopped down the skull once again. There was a big crack on its surface and after that second hit, it broke.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The living room filled with noise as he seemed to have no other way to release his madness. After a while, he slowly became more rational and his anger subsided. He thought there would be some side effects from the evolution, but fortunately, he was not exhausted. He felt relaxed and comfortable, just like he did after taking a hot shower. The depression and frustration he had felt previously were all gone as well. The explosive attack did not seem to rely on his own power but on the ax itself.

Luo Yuan picked up the ax and checked it out. He noticed two big cracks on it, which meant its power had been almost fully consumed. Luo Yuan had expected this. However, the axe was not broken, even though it had collided with a similar object several times. The entire skull of the gorilla was destroyed. Luo Yuan found some sealable bags in the kitchen and poured the cerebral fluids and the mashed brain into one of them. He realized there were more than 10 bags on the floor when he was done.

He brought all the bags to the underground chamber. He noticed the women look at him curiously as he was about to close the door. He hesitated, and then shook his head with a sad expression. He remained silent as he opened up the bag with the mashed brain. He put the mashed brain into a pot and its awful smell immediately took over the entire chamber. Huang Jiahui got up from the ground with a pained expression. She was going to use mineral water to wash a few empty cans left over from their last dinner.

“No, don’t use the mineral water! There is no water supply anymore, try not to use our drinking water,” Luo Yuan stopped her.

He had checked on the water and gas supply when he had gone to the kitchen earlier, and realized there was no water and gas anymore. The two cartons of mineral water in the underground chamber were their only source of drinking water. Her hand that was about to twist the bottle cap stopped immediately. She slowly put down the bottle and said, “Luo Yuan, don’t lie to us. How bad is the situation outside?”
