Chapter 112: 112 Reaping the Rewards
The helmet was called an Ultraburn Helmet, similar to thermal imaging devices, but instead of seeing heat sources, it could see the energy inside a Mutator’s body.
Based on the energy within a Mutator’s body, one could also roughly gauge the Mutator’s level.
Lin Shen removed an Ultraburn Helmet from the corpse of a dead Minotaur, and put it on his own head.
The helmet was too big for Lin Shen, and it also had two holes for the horns of a bull, which he initially thought would make it very uncomfortable to wear.
However, when he put it on and activated it, the Ultraburn Helmet shrank to fit the shape of Lin Shen’s head perfectly, with no discomfort at all.
Looking outside through the protective lenses, the clarity was quite good, with almost no obstruction to his line of sight.
When he looked at the bodies of the Minotaurs on the ground, the Ultraburn Helmet had no reaction, but when he looked towards the living Minotaur warriors, the lens immediately displayed a red health bar. The health bar was segmented, and the more segments it had, the stronger the Base Mutation energy of the opponent.
The Crystal Base Minotaur had three segments, and according to him, under normal conditions, Steel Level had just one segment, Alloy Level had two, and Crystal Base was three segments. Anything above three segments belonged to the Ascenders.
“This thing is pretty useful, even without the Mutators using their Base Mutation strength, one can roughly make out their level,” Lin Shen was quite satisfied with the Ultraburn Helmet.
Both the Ultraburn Helmet and Ultraburn Battle Suit were standard equipment for every Ultra-Burn Warrior, but not every Ultra-Burn Warrior was equipped with a Pet Launcher.
Among these few Ultra-Burn Warriors, a total of five had Pet Launchers, but those three Alloy Warriors did not.
According to the Minotaur, not every Crystal Base Ultra-Burn Warrior had one, in fact, most did not.
The reason they all had them was that they were the guards of the deputy commander, so they were all equipped with Pet Launchers.
Lin Shen tried it out, and their Pet Launchers were significantly slower than the Angel Revolver. The firing speed of the guards’ Pet Launchers was between twenty and thirty, while the deputy commander’s could reach thirty-eight or thirty-nine, but not forty.
However, even at a firing speed of twenty to thirty, it was a lot faster than activating by hand, still a great item, and for humans, even more valuable.
There were quite a few pets inside, with sixteen just from the Crystal Base, the only Mutated Crystal Base was the one on the deputy commander, a Mutated Big Red Bull, and there were also plenty of Alloy pets.
Lin Shen had just switched from a bird gun to a cannon, loading his Angel Revolver with Crystal Base Capsules, six of which were mutated.
“Rest in peace.” After asking his questions, Lin Shen took off the Ultraburn Helmet and let the Black Crystal Stoneman crush the Minotaur’s head with a punch, giving him a painless departure.
Augustman directly mentioned wanting to enslave humans, revealing there must be human slaves among their people; otherwise, Augustman wouldn’t have blurted it out.
Lin Shen had no pity in his heart for such a race.
He stripped down all the Ultraburn Battle Suits and Ultraburn Helmets from their bodies, and all those Battle Axes were good stuff—an entire haul, slung onto the back of the Big Red Bull.
What surprised Lin Shen the most wasn’t these things but the fact that when he killed the Minotaurs, the Sacrificial Halo actually responded. Each time he killed a Minotaur, the Sacrificial Halo grew stronger.
“It seems that as long as they came in wearing a transfer wristwatch, no matter the race or the style of the wristwatch, they are considered my teammates, which is convenient for accumulating my Sacrificial Halo,” Lin Shen felt very satisfied inside.
“`
However, Lin Shen did not utilize the power of the Sacrificial Halo; all the operations he just performed were done through his own strength.
After killing those eight Minotaurs, the total attribute enhancement provided by the Sacrificial Halo had reached 47, which meant that if he used its power, all his attributes would be increased by 47.
This power was unimaginably terrifying, barely less than when he initially blasted the Giant King.
Unfortunately, the power of Sacrifice to Heaven could only be used once; after that, it needed to be accumulated again. Lin Shen had no immediate plans to use it.
Such strength was Lin Shen’s biggest trump card; in case he encountered insurmountable difficulties, he could rely on this strike to carve a bloody path. He estimated that probably no one on Realm King Planet could withstand this force.
Lin Shen guessed that since the Ascenders from the Ultra-Burn Tribe couldn’t enter, those from the Realm King Cultivation Device probably couldn’t either. As long as there were no Ascenders, the enhancement given by the Sacrificial Halo would be invincible.
Of course, Lin Shen could not yet confirm there were no Ascenders on Realm King Planet, so he still needed to keep a low profile when possible—life was more important than anything.
Lin Shen put on the deputy commander’s red Ultraburn Battle Suit, which automatically tightened to fit his physique.
The area around his waist that was damaged by Death Powder was almost imperceptible, thanks to the excellent elasticity of the battle suit.
Clad in the Battle Clothes and helmet, Lin Shen had a thought and packed away all his belongings, even stowing his Paradise Backpack inside the deputy commander’s pack. With the deputy commander’s Pet Launcher at his waist and the Red Crystal Battle Axe in hand, and riding the Big Red Bull, nobody should be able to tell he was Lin Shen.
This way, even if he was discovered by humans and broadcasted, no one would know he was the same playboy, Lin Shen, from before.
Nor would the other channels into Realm King Planet be discovered.
“With this getup, could humans mistake me for an Ultra-Burn Warrior?” Lin Shen checked his appearance; the red tight-fitting clothes made him feel a bit ashamed.
After some thought, Lin Shen took out a white robe from his backpack and wore it over the rest, finally feeling a bit better.
“It’s time for a massacre.” Lin Shen felt he could go hunting some solitary Ultra-Burn Warriors, collect more Battle Clothes, helmets, and axes, and certainly sell them for a good price.
Of course, what Lin Shen wanted most was the Pet Launcher, which could fetch a large sum.
After preparing everything, Lin Shen mounted the Big Red Bull and set off again.
…
Upon arriving at Sea Corn Base, Mo Shengqi found that most of the twenty-plus Mutators around him were from the logistical positions inside the camp, mostly Steel Level, with only a few Alloy Levels.
As a Crystal Base, leading more than twenty logistical staff on Realm King Planet, he had to be extremely cautious.
Fortunately, they had been transported to a grassy slope. Aside from a few Steel Level members who had been bitten by poisonous bugs hidden in the grass at the beginning, there had been no further danger. As long as they were careful not to get bitten by the bugs, there was no danger for them on the grassy slope with their strength.
Just when Mo Shengqi thought he could play nanny safely on this trip, aiming for no merit but only to bring everyone back alive, they encountered a squad of Ultra-Burn Warriors.
Seeing over a hundred Alloy Level Ultra-Burn Warriors riding Alloy Big Black Bulls, led by seven or eight Crystal Base Ultra-Burn Warriors, charging wildly like a pride of lions, everyone turned pale with shock, and even Mo Shengqi’s face turned ugly.
