MTLNOVEL Chapter 338 Awakening Fruit
"Chirp—"
When the giant bird appeared, it was actually still very far away.
But Wang Tao decisively let some people leave first, while he and those capable of the "Rush" stayed behind to grab the Awakening Fruits.
When the Awakening Tree collapsed with a roar and they caught the Awakening Fruits, Wang Tao immediately felt a piercing cold wind assault him. He ordered everyone to "Rush" toward the cave to escape.
Half a second after they burst out, they heard a loud boom, and the earth shook.
Wang Tao didn't dare to look back, and continued running towards the cave.
But when had the sky darkened?
Everyone looked up to see a pair of wings gleaming with a metallic sheen shading the sky!
"Rush!"
Boom!
Two claws sharp as knives plunged fiercely into the ground, lifting the earth, bursting dead trees, and scattering stones everywhere.
In the midst of the chaos, Wang Tao and a few others finally reached the entrance of the cave. Another "Rush" and they were deep inside the cave.
"Chirp—"
Boom—
The moment the few of them entered the cave, they felt the light dim; turning back, they saw a ferocious giant claw blocking the entrance of the cave.

But this cave was deep, and it clearly couldn't reach them.
Without stopping, Wang Tao and his group continued to run deeper inside. They didn't hear any movement from behind until they reached the very depths of the cave; that's when they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What the hell was that thing just now!"
Lan Yulian got off the bus.
It was fortunate that Wang Tao had them leave earlier. If they'd delayed even a few seconds, the vehicle would have definitely been caught up to.
"That was... a Level 5 Monster Lord!"
Wang Tao's face was grave.
This was a monstrously large bird with wings that could block out the sun, resembling an eagle that had mutated.
[HP: 300,000/300,000]
[Mana: 200,000/200,000]
[Grade: Level 5 - Lord]
[Awakening: Giant]
Three hundred thousand HP, a Level 5 Monster Lord with [Giant] awakening, and a flying monster!
Truthfully, any one of these attributes alone would not necessarily worry Wang Tao.
But they were combined!
Three hundred thousand HP plus a Level 5 Monster Lord was already terrifying enough, but it also had an [Awakening: Giant]. The giant awakening was one thing, but it could freaking fly, too!
[Giant: Size grows without limit, all basic attributes greatly enhanced. The larger the size, the stronger the power.]
[Giant] was an unbounded awakening ability, where size determined the level of power.
The Catastrophic Black Serpent they had cooperated to kill a few days ago was big enough. But the cave of the Black Serpent was only just large enough for the claws of the Giant Eagle!
Wang Tao felt like he was facing a "flying Giant Zombie" that was Level 5!
Wang Tao had no confidence in defeating it, even with Lan Yulian and the others.
To defeat a monster of this caliber, Wang Tao felt the only possibility was to mobilize the Legion and bomb it with their advanced weapons!
He heard the Legion had missiles and even nuclear weapons among their heavy artillery. They wouldn't normally use such weapons, but there was no doubt about their destructive power.
Wang Tao thought that bombing was currently the only way to kill the Giant Eagle. Of course, this was a significant risk—if it didn't die, it could evolve into something even more terrifying!
"A Level 5, Monster Lord?"
After hearing Wang Tao's words, everyone let out a gasp of surprise.
However, after thinking about it carefully, even the previous Catastrophic Black Serpent wasn't this terrifying; only something above Level 4 would have such a presence.
Wang Tao used [Plant Affinity] to carefully sense the surroundings, and even though many grasslands outside had been destroyed, he could still feel the giant eagle guarding outside. So he said:
"It's still out there; let's not go out for now. We'll spend the night here. As for tomorrow, well, we'll see..."
Wang Tao had originally planned to leave tomorrow morning because, by then, it would have been over seven days since the Night Demon Parasite experiment. If it still couldn't hatch a Night Demon by then, it would truly be incapable of hatching.
But with the current situation, Wang Tao wasn't sure how many days they would end up staying in the cave.
"Alright!"
Naturally, no one objected; a Level 5 Monster Lord was not something they could handle at the moment.
At this moment, Wang Tao took out a plump and rounded Awakening Fruit, glittering with golden light.
They had been working so hard for so many days, just for it.
Whoosh—
Lightning, five Black Snakes, and Jiang Shixue all instantly gathered around. They were even drooling.
Seeing the attributes of the Awakening Fruit, Wang Tao finally understood why they all coveted the fruit so much.
[Awakening Fruit: Extremely delicious, highly coveted by many creatures]
Reading this description, could the Awakening Fruit be that delicious, making one unable to stop wanting it?
But the taste of the Awakening Fruit wasn't the point, the point was its five detailed attributes—
[A Third Order Human consuming it can ascend to Level 4]
[A Third Order Non-Human consuming it has a low probability of awakening]
[A Human Above Third Order consuming it increases their Awakening Key by 1]
[A Non-Human Above Third Order consuming it moderately increases their endurance]
[Creatures Below Third Order consuming it have a high probability of exploding and dying]
These five attributes of the Awakening Fruit were very powerful—of course, from a certain perspective, even the last one was strong!
Now, looking at the first attribute—if a Third Order Human consumes it, they can ascend to Level 4!
So does that mean, regardless of whether you have Hidden Attributes or an Awakening Key, just by eating this fruit, you can directly awaken?
That would be incredibly overpowered—wait, hold on!
Wang Tao took a closer look again.
The description states, "A Third Order Human consuming it can ascend to Level 4," but it only mentions "ascension to Level 4," not "awakening!"
