Chapter 334: Pet Snake
Wang Tao briefly checked the loot from these two Night Demons.
The hatched Night Demons were basically identical to the ones they had encountered before, so naturally, their loot wasn't much different either.
The Level 4 Elite Night Demon didn't have a Crystal Core in its head, and since it wasn't considered an over-level kill, it only dropped a Loot Pack, which contained an Ultraviolet Suit.
[Obtained: High Power Ultraviolet Flashlight x1]
[Obtained: Mini Ultraviolet Illumination Shells x60]
[Obtained: Ultraviolet Illumination Light Strips x10]
Compared to the Level 4 Lord Night Demon, the pack did not include Large Ultraviolet Illumination Bombs, and there were far fewer ultraviolet items in general. However, Wang Tao didn't mind; these were all useful tools against Night Demons, and he accepted them all.
The focus was on the loot from that Level 4 Lord Night Demon.
Killing it had yielded 1 Advanced Special Energy, an Awakening Key, and 100 Awakening Energy. It itself dropped a Crystal Core, a pair of claws, a heart, and five Loot Packs.
[Obtained: Level 4 Crystal Core - Strength x1]
[Obtained: Level 4 Night Demon's Claws x2]
[Obtained: Fourth-Order Weapon - [Night Demon Type I]]
The heart of an elite Night Demon was just an ordinary heart, easily crushed. However, the heart of a Lord Night Demon was a [Night Demon Type I] weapon, not easily destroyed. After finding the correct usage, one could gain a compliant ally.
The first out of the five Loot Packs was a Crystal Core Gift Bag, containing five Crystal Cores. These were the familiar faces, including an Orange [Fourth-Order Crystal Core: Promotion], a Red [Fourth-Order Crystal Core: Awakening], a Red [Fourth-Order Crystal Core: Omnipotence], a Purple [Fourth-Order Crystal Core: Energy Boost], and a Blue [Fourth-Order Crystal Core: HP Boost].
The second Loot Pack contained potions, the third an Ultraviolet Suit, the fourth an Awakening Energy Pearl.
[Obtained: Strength Potion (Medium) x10]
[Obtained: Strength Potion (Small) x10]
[Obtained: High Power Ultraviolet Flashlight x1]

[Obtained: Ultraviolet Illumination Light Strips x20]
[Obtained: Large Ultraviolet Illumination Bombs x5]
[Obtained: Awakening Energy Pearl x1]
The last Loot Pack naturally contained Blueprints, all of which had been seen before.
[Obtained: Night Demon Breastplate Blueprint x1]
[Obtained: Night Demon Leg Armor Blueprint x1]
Night Demon Equipment was indeed very good, and currently only Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue each had a set, and they both still had Night Demon Rings that could be instantly worn. If they could gather more Night Demon Sets and equip everyone, that would be very comfortable.
Wang Tao crafted these two pieces of equipment and then had He Jijun wear them. As the second strongest after Wang Tao himself, it was only natural that He Jijun should be well equipped.
Wang Tao still had many Night Demon Parasite Bug Eggs, so gathering a complete set of Level 4 Night Demon Equipment for He Jijun should not be a problem. If it was not enough, then they could just destroy a few more Night Demon's Nests…
After checking the loot, Wang Tao glanced at his Life Ring.
[Current stored HP: 35000/100000]
It was already 35,000 HP. It seemed that not only killing Lords but also Elite kills could store HP, which greatly eased Wang Tao's mind. If only killing Lords had allowed for storing HP, that would have made the difficulty far too great…
Then Wang Tao went to check on the remaining eight zombies, tethered by iron chains, showing no changes, and it was not apparent who might turn into a Night Demon.
By then, it was already getting late, so Wang Tao had Ding Yuqin and the others cook some food while he went to check on the Fire Patterned Ant's corpse.
He could clearly feel that the Awakening Tree had grown a lot compared to earlier. In the morning, it had still been a sapling. Now, by evening, it had grown half as tall as a person.
At this rate, Wang Tao felt it would not be small in size, perhaps it could grow into a towering tree.
At night, while on duty, Wang Tao paid special attention to those few zombies, but until the next morning, no Night Demon had emerged, which somewhat disappointed him.
'Never mind…'
Wang Tao shook his head.
After eating breakfast prepared personally by Ding Yuqin, Wang Tao contemplated whether to capture a few more zombies to breed Night Demons. After all, he still had plenty of Night Demon Parasite Bug Eggs, but just then, Jiang Shixue's voice suddenly rang out in his headset:
"Brother! The egg has hatched!"
Whoosh—
Wang Tao's figure instantly disappeared.
He was somewhat annoyed, He had intended to remove the snake egg just before it completed hatching, as it would have been troublesome if the hatched snake damaged the van. Unfortunately, he had forgotten about the snake egg!
Fortunately, Jiang Shixue had not forgotten and had kept an eye on the snake egg, or there might have been real trouble.
When Wang Tao's figure appeared again, he was already outside the minibus.
"Where—"
Just as Wang Tao began to speak, he suddenly felt a strange sensation, as if a faint and unfamiliar consciousness had appeared in his mind.
Frowning, he looked towards the inside of the bus, just in time to see a palm-sized triangular snake head poke out of the bus door, its brown vertical pupils looking at Wang Tao. Then, suddenly, it soared into the air, lunging at him!
Whoosh—
Facing such an attack, Wang Tao made no move to defend himself.
Instead, the snake, as thick as a bowl, coiled around Wang Tao. It flicked its tongue as it slithered over him, but it did not bite him!
Jiang Shixue walked out of the bus with a curious and cautious expression and explained:
"When I found it, the snake egg had already cracked, and it had almost finished eating its shell, but it didn't attack me when it saw me…"
