Qin Shi Lei inputted his primal energy into the Thunder Mark.
As the primal energy flowed in, the electric arcs dancing on the Thunder Mark became more numerous, then coalesced into a ball of light.
With a whoosh, it flew from his palm and into his glabella.
A phantom space was opened in the center of his glabella, and a tiny point of light appeared within the space.
Then, the point of light slowly enlarged, becoming a light cluster the size of a mung bean. This light cluster was constantly emitting wisps of lightning.
By absorbing the Thunder Mark, Qin Shi Lei's mental power manifested as a light cluster. Not only did his mental power greatly increase, but it also gained a lightning attribute.
Coupled with his own lightning-attribute physique, his lightning-attribute abilities would become even more powerful.
Qin Shi Lei pushed open the window and flicked his right hand. The lightning dancing in his palm instantly struck a stone the size of a washbasin far from the house.
"Boom!"
The stone instantly exploded with a bang, shattering into countless particles the size of marbles.
Simply by channeling the lightning within his body, it possessed such great power.
It was indeed good.
The explosion also startled Zhang Qiang and the others. After investigating and finding no danger, they went back to rest.
Qin Shi Lei took out the bottle of mental potion again.
[Do you wish to refresh attributes?]
[Refresh.]
Three attributes appeared above the bottle: one white and two blue.
Appetizer (White): Sweet and sour is the best kind of refreshing drink.
Reinforce (Blue): While enhancing mental power, it also enhances physique.
Efficient (Blue): More efficiently absorbs the medicinal effects of the mental potion, with a slight increase in mental power.
All three attributes were quite ordinary.
Had he used up all his luck on the Thunder Mark?
Qin Shi Lei had no choice but to select the Efficient attribute and then casually drank the small bottle of mental potion.
A cool sensation arose, and the light cluster in Qin Shi Lei's glabella expanded slightly.
It seemed that it was not suitable to refresh attributes further for now. He would use the remaining chances tomorrow.
Although he had the "Full of Vigor" attribute, he indeed felt full of strength, but his mind was somewhat fatigued.
No wonder this attribute was only a green one. It only maintained his physical vitality, but he still needed to sleep.
Qin Shi Lei lay in bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Zhang Qiang, as usual, eagerly drove the armored vehicle.
Stopping and starting, by evening, Zhang Qiang had driven over three hundred kilometers.
Seeing a farmstead appear by the roadside ahead, Qin Shi Lei said, "Let's find a place to get something to eat first."
Zhang Qiang replied, "Okay," while turning the steering wheel towards the farmstead.
"Moo."
As soon as everyone got out of the car, they heard several bleating sounds coming from the backyard of the farmstead.
"Great, we'll have roast lamb tonight," Zhang Qiang said happily, licking his lips.
Hearing Zhang Qiang's words, An Qian and the other women became spirited, taking out their weapons and preparing to head to the backyard.
"Don't be careless. All plants and animals have the potential to evolve now," Qin Shi Lei reminded them.
.........
Ten minutes ago, Wu Ze still thought it was his lucky day.
It wasn't until he was chased up a tree by a group of black goats under a tree that he realized today might be his death anniversary.
After undergoing multiple trials, he finally became a formal member of the organization today.
Full of high spirits, Wu Ze went out of the base with a few friends, planning to search for some supplies to exchange for good items at the organization.
After a long journey, they discovered this farmstead that had not been searched by anyone.
Even more fortunately, they found a black goat.
Thinking he could have some meat and have a roast lamb.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he injured the black goat, a group of black goats rushed out from behind him.
One of them, a leading ram, was as strong as a fierce tiger.
The leading ram ran as fast as lightning, and its long horns sent Wu Ze's companion flying seven or eight meters with a single charge.
He lay on the ground, motionless for a long time, likely dead.
In a panic, Wu Ze and the remaining three or four people quickly climbed up some large trees in the yard.
Goats couldn't climb trees, but they could ram them.
As seven or eight goats continuously rammed the large trees, the trees swayed precariously, as if they would fall at any moment.
At this moment, the roar of a car came from outside the farmstead.
"Brother Wu, someone's here," Xu Guo Lang shouted to Wu Ze beside him.
Wu Ze held onto the tree trunk tightly and instructed, "Everyone be quiet. As soon as the newcomers attract the leading ram away, we'll immediately jump down from the trees and drive away."
The flock of goats under the tree seemed to have heard the sound from outside and stopped.
Before long, Zhang Qiang's imposing figure appeared in Wu Ze's sight.
"Moo!"
The leading ram pawed the ground lightly with its front hoof, looking at Zhang Qiang warily.
"Let me go first."
Zhang Xiao Li stepped out from behind Zhang Qiang and pointed at the flock of goats.
Instantly, a vine as thick as a thumb flew from her hand and quickly wrapped around one of the black goats.
In the blink of an eye, the black goat was entangled and unable to move.
In less than two seconds, the black goat stopped even screaming and was strangled to death by the vine.
Thousand Vine Technique: Unleash vines to entangle the target.
This was an ability Zhang Xiao Li learned from the ability bead given to her by Qin Shi Lei.
"Moo!"
The leading ram raised its head and roared, then charged towards Zhang Xiao Li.
"Moo moo!"
The flock of goats bleated in response and charged forward together.
"Run."
Seeing that the leading ram had been lured away, Wu Ze shouted and was the first to slide down from the tree.
Zhang Xiao Li reached out and pointed at the largest ram again. Another vine flew from her hand and wrapped around the leading ram.
The ram made a sharp turn, avoided the vine, and then dodged left and right, constantly closing in on Zhang Xiao Li.
The vine behind it, however, was always a little short of catching the leading ram.
Zhang Qiang stepped forward with a stomp.
Shield Bash!
Holding a round shield, Zhang Qiang charged at the leading ram like a wall.
With one collision, both sides retreated three steps.
Zhang Xiao Li's vine finally seized an opportunity and managed to entangle the leading ram.
"Bang!"
Zhang Qiang forcefully pushed off with his right foot, instantly arriving in front of the leading ram, and then used another shield bash from the side, hitting its cheek.
With its movements temporarily controlled by the vine, the leading ram hard endured this heavy blow, its head tilting to the left.
Strike while the iron is hot.
Zhang Qiang's right hand's short spear stabbed forward rapidly.
Unexpectedly, the sharp short spear only penetrated a small section and failed to pierce the opponent's throat.
"Hmph."
Zhang Qiang let out a loud grunt, and the short spear in his hand stabbed forward seven or eight times consecutively, each shot hitting the same spot as the previous one.
Soon, a large hole appeared on the black goat's neck.
Blood spurted out.
The leading ram twitched more than ten times on the ground before dying.
At this moment, Qin Shi Lei and Xie Hai Mei had already shot and killed all the remaining black goats.
"You're too much, I didn't even get to practice," An Qian said, holding her long sword halfway, only to find no enemies left.
"All my arrows are gone. I'll definitely let you practice next time," Qin Shi Lei said with an apologetic smile.
