The size of the huge rodent leader hadn’t been small, to begin with. It had originally already been as tall as two people.

After devouring Song Yu’s corpse, it actually expanded again, reaching a height of four to five meters.

Seeing this, Liu Yan was slightly surprised. To think the huge rodent leader mutated!

Liu Yan quickly used his smart wristband to check its stats.

Looking at its attributes, Liu Yan’s face was filled with surprise.

To think the huge rodent leader had reached level 3. Not only had all aspects of its attributes increased by a lot, but it had even gained a new skill!

At this moment, the mutated huge rodent leader looked at the human Awakened around it. Following this, its body glowed with green light, and a strong, unpleasant smell spread out.

Instantly, with it as the center, the surroundings in a radius of fifty meters were covered by the poisonous gas.

Liu Yan immediately felt his skin burning, and his HP was also slowly decreasing.

The speed of the decrease was not fast, but from the looks of it, it seemed to be accelerating.

The most fatal point was that Liu Yan could feel that his entire body had become incomparably heavy, and his speed had suddenly slowed down a lot.

After devouring Song Yu’s corpse, the mutated huge rodent leader seemed to have absorbed her Delay talent, which made the poisonous gas have a delay effect!

Generally speaking, mutated beasts were much stronger than beasts of the same level.

Liu Yan roughly estimated that the strength of the level three mutated huge rodent leader was at least equivalent to the ordinary level four or even level five beasts.

The current Liu Yan was only at level two...

Although his attributes were exaggerated, he was somewhat lacking in terms of offensive methods. The strength he could display was at most level three or four.

Without a doubt, it was quite difficult for him to deal with the mutated huge rodent leader.

In addition, there was a group of huge rodents at the side, which made the whole situation even more difficult to deal with.

At this moment, Wang Qing, who was about to escape, was also affected by the poison gas, and his speed instantly slowed down.

With that, the few huge rodents that were chasing after him immediately caught up.

Wang Qing’s face was filled with fear, afraid to the point he even forgot to turn around to resist. He was directly pounced on and bitten to death by a few level 1 huge rodents.

As for the other two Awakened, although the grades of their talents weren’t as high as Wang Qing’s, their close combat abilities were slightly stronger than Wang Qing’s.

Besides, they hadn’t been like Wang Qing in the previous battles, who had been hiding at the back and attacking in a sneaky manner. They had always been fighting in close combat with the beasts, so they weren’t as afraid as Wang Qing to the point that they would forget to resist.

The two Awakened worked together to deal with a few level 1 huge rodents. Then, they escaped from the range of the poisonous gas, enduring the continuous burning of the gas, and fled in a sorry state.

As for Liu Yan, because he had thought that he would be safe with his high agility and Ghoststeps skill, he hadn’t left in time. As such, he was now in the center of the poisonous gas and was in a precarious situation.

Seeing this, Liu Yan dodged the attacks of the surrounding huge rodents, while taking out the remaining detoxifying purple herb from his backpack.

Fortunately, he hadn’t used it all previously and had kept some for backup. It was crucial now.

After taking out the detoxifying purple herb, he hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls.

Instantly, Liu Yan felt a comfortable cooling sensation in his body.

The burning sensation on his body disappeared, and his HP was no longer dropping.

At the same time, the agility of his body had also somewhat recovered and he felt lighter. However, he hadn’t fully recovered, and his speed was still not very fast.

It seemed that the poisonous gas’s Delay effect was so strong that the detoxifying purple herb couldn’t completely detoxify it.

That being said, Liu Yan still felt much more at ease and at least had the strength to fight.

He then hurriedly activated Ghoststeps. With that, his agility instantly increased by three times and counteracted the Delay effect.

After using Ghoststeps, Liu Yan’s speed had only become slightly faster than his usual normal speed when he was not poisoned, which showed just how powerful the Delay effect was.

Liu Yan understood that his strength was inferior to the mutated huge rodent leader. In addition, there were many other huge rodents protecting their leader and harassing him, so he simply could not fight head-on.

However, he did not choose to run. If he did that, even if he had a chance to escape, it would be extremely dangerous because his speed was not very fast. In addition to that, he would have to leave his back open to these huge rodents, which was not a very wise choice.

Liu Yan came to the side of Wang Qing’s corpse and hurriedly used Divine Extraction. The green light enveloped Wang Qing’s corpse.

Since his strength was not enough, then he would use Divine Extraction on the spot to increase his strength!

Wang Qing was an expert who had awakened a B-grade talent, so his corpse could probably give Liu Yan a lot of help.

Not long after, a notification appeared in front of Liu Yan.

[Dvine Extraction of the Awakened’s corpse has been successful. Obtained: Ultimate Aim (B-grade), Poison Control (B-grade)!]

To think he had obtained two B-grade skills in one go!

Liu Yan was a little surprised. Previously, when he had used Divine Extraction, he had always obtained skills that were one grade lower than the target’s talent. Yet now, he had obtained skills on the same grade as the target’s talent, and two at once!

It seemed that the things that he could obtain by using Divine Extraction were not fixed. There was a certain degree of randomness or some other factors that affected the outcome.

At the same time, Liu Yan’s body had also undergone a considerable change.

Liu Yan, who was originally totally clueless about the usage of bows and arrows, now felt that he was extremely familiar with them. It was as if he could skillfully use any bow or arrow and could easily hit his target.

At the same time, Liu Yan also had the feeling that he could control poison and attach it to his arrows or dagger when attacking.

By obtaining two B-grade skills, Liu Yan’s strength had suddenly increased by quite a lot, or could even be said to have doubled.

On top of that, he had obtained an offensive skill, which just so happened to allow him to better display his own strength.

Liu Yan took the bow and arrows from Wang Qing’s corpse and held them in his hands, feeling extremely familiar with them.

With the Ultimate Aim, his accuracy was already pretty good.

In addition to that, Liu Yan could also use Spirit Vision to further enhance the accuracy of his arrows.

At the same time, Liu Yan used Spirit Vision to observe the weakness of the mutated huge rodent leader.

Not only could Spirit Vision be used to sense the danger around him, but it could also help Liu Yan to better observe many things.

Although its grade was not high, only an E-grade skill, it was a rare perception skill. It was no less helpful to Liu Yan than a B-grade skill!

Very soon, Liu Yan found the weakness of the mutated huge rodent leader, its left eye.

After the mutation, the mutated rodent leader’s whole body had changed a lot, but only its left eye remained the same as before, unlike its right eye which was currently covered with a layer of armor-like skin and obviously had an increased defense ability.

Liu Yan immediately held the bow and arrow. Using Strength Enhancement, he entered the berserk state, increasing his strength by three times. As he drew the bow, the F-grade beginner bow instantly formed a full moon shape, looking like it was about to break at any moment.

At the same time, Liu Yan used Poison Control, and the poison attached itself to the arrow, making the entire arrow a green color. Then, he aimed at the left eye of the mutated huge rodent leader.

With the support of Ultimate Aim and Spirit Vision, the arrow shot out, and in the chaotic environment, it accurately pierced into the left eye of the mutated huge rodent leader.

Under the tremendous force, the entire arrow had entered its eye.

The poison instantly spread through the body of the mutated huge rodent leader.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss...” The mutated huge rodent leader immediately let out strange cries of pain. It covered its left eye which was filled with unbearable pain.

Not long after, the mutated huge rodent leader gradually stopped struggling. Its huge body fell to the ground, and the ground trembled slightly under its weight.

With this, Liu Yan had successfully killed a powerful level three mutated beast!
