Chapter 34: Advancement, High-tier Supernatural!

The only thing the general feels fortunate about now is that Colonel Kalamu and the Leopard Squad are still alive!

"Using divine medicine or monster cores from supernatural beings, flesh and blood to redeem people."

Sangqi said calmly.

Chen Mo had already explained the relevant transaction process to him earlier.

Only the exact amount of the ransom still needs Chen Mo to make minor adjustments behind the scenes.

"We don't have divine medicine, but we do have some monster cores and flesh from supernatural beings, and we can even provide living supernatural beings!"

The general is clearly a decisive person, and he immediately made a decision.

Divine medicine is extremely precious to humans.

Not to mention not having it; even if we had it, we wouldn't use it for trade.

But the monster cores and flesh of supernatural beings aren't that precious.

Because humans find it hard to rely on monster cores to awaken or strengthen their power.

The spiritual energy inside is too violent; even the weakest low-tier supernatural monster core, if an ordinary person takes it, will directly explode and die! Even an awakened person finds it hard to absorb the energy from the monster core.

As for the flesh of supernatural beings, although it can increase the probability of ordinary people awakening, it also cannot be eaten in excess, and moreover this stuff is abundant.

"Okay, one medium-tier supernatural monster core for three people."

Sangqi looked at the words in the snow and spoke.

"As for Colonel Kalamu, the Lion King said that's a separate price, requiring two medium-tier supernatural monster cores."

The general didn't answer right away, seeming to be thinking.

To him, the monster cores of supernatural beings aren't considered precious.

The only thing to worry about is whether this batch of resources will make this ice lion even stronger, eventually reaching an utterly uncontrollable state.

In fact, it's already very hard for them to kill the Lion King now.

Forget it.

After the Great Snow Mountain descends, supernatural beings of the Ice Lion King's level will appear many more, impossible to defend against.

Most importantly, we still need to develop ourselves!

"We don't have many medium-tier supernatural monster cores either—only three. Can we get a discount? Or we could use low-tier supernatural monster cores or flesh as a substitute."

The general said with some difficulty.

After a moment, Chen Mo nodded.

He also didn't intend to press too hard.

After some back-and-forth, the Tanzanian military decided to redeem the entire Leopard Squad with three medium-tier supernatural monster cores, ten low-tier monster cores, and some supernatural beast flesh.

"To ensure the lion pride's safety, we won't release them quickly, but the Lion King will guarantee they get to eat supernatural beast flesh every day, maintaining steady growth in strength."

"During this period, the Tanzanian army must not conduct any reconnaissance or launch attacks on the lion pride; otherwise, if discovered, they will be killed outright."

Finally, Sangqi added some more transaction details.

"At the latest, you must release the people within one month."

The general spoke.

Sangqi looked toward the Lion King, and Chen Mo nodded.

"Okay."

"Then... deal."

The general directly agreed.

Compared to the monster cores and flesh of supernatural beings, the Leopard Squad is undoubtedly far more important! After reaching an agreement with the humans, Chen Mo directly swallowed the snow dragon fruit and ice core whole.

His various attributes increased again, and more importantly, his ice spiritual power rose.

From 389 it rose to 491.

The snow dragon fruit provided 52 ways, and the ice core of the ice-armored crocodile provided 50 ways.

Chen Mo had a premonition.

When the ice spiritual power inside the ice core reaches 500 ways, perhaps he can advance to high-tier supernatural.

Thinking of that, he couldn't wait any longer and began gnawing on the corpse of the ice-armored crocodile monster.

He was still short 8 ways of ice spiritual power; with all this supernatural beast flesh, it should be enough. Halfway through eating, Chen Mo's ice core inside his body swelled a bit more.

Just like the previous two times, the spiritual power from the ice core penetrated his whole body, beginning to strengthen every part! He advanced again!

【Frost Young Lion (Male)】

【Grade: High-tier Supernatural】

【Physique: 52→68】

【Agility: 53→65】

【Strength: 51→64】

【Soul: 40→52】

【Abilities: Ice Storm, Ice Illusion Technique, Ice Wind Roar】

【Overall Combat Power: 521~685】

After looking at his panel, Chen Mo was fairly satisfied.

Based on his current physique, bullets can no longer inflict any damage on him.

His top running speed reached 168 m/s, already close to half the speed of sound. His strength is absurdly strong—throwing a full-grown elephant directly into the air is effortless for him now! Having evolved to this extent, without humans using nuclear missiles, supersonic missiles, etc., conventional weapons can't do anything to him.

At the same time, a few messages popped up on the self-discipline panel——

【Self-discipline Shared Target +1】

【Dual-line Self-discipline Card +1】

There's now one more person to practice self-discipline together, and we can also share two titles!

Chen Mo's ice-blue lion eyes showed joy.

He planned to give the chance to practice self-discipline together to the Ice Crystal Mouse, using the Gluttonous Lion to quickly boost the mouse's strength, so as to better search for the Divine Medicine!

These days, Chen Mo increasingly felt the power of the Gluttonous Lion.

Taking the flesh and blood of supernatural beings as an example, ordinary supernatural beings that eat other supernatural beings' corpses can obtain less than 10% of their spiritual power, but the Gluttonous Lion can obtain 60% or even more.

The conversion efficiency is on a completely different level.

Moreover, the Gluttonous Lion can greatly enhance digestion and absorption, allowing it to eat more than ten times the amount of food ordinary supernatural beings can! The only problem is eating 10 kg of food daily, which is truly difficult for a mouse weighing less than 10 kg. As for the Double Self-Discipline Card, its effect is to let Chen Mo accept an additional self-discipline challenge, but only once.

He glanced at the self-discipline panel.

The currently ongoing self-discipline challenge is the Fat Otaku Happy Lion, while the other two, locked in chains, are the Stinky Fart Lion and the Construction Lion.

"The Stinky Fart Lion is a white self-discipline challenge, only requiring seven days, which is unnecessary. To maximize the effect of the Double Self-Discipline Card, it should definitely be used on a higher-level self-discipline challenge. Green or even higher!"

"Unfortunately, the Construction Lion is a title geared toward life skills, not much help for combat power. Forget it, let's leave it for now!"

After thinking, Chen Mo did not use it immediately.

At that moment, his stomach sent a strong sense of hunger; after advancing, his strengthened digestion had consumed a large amount of nutrients.

Looking at the uneaten crocodile meat in front of him, Chen Mo began to gnaw on it again.

——————————

Tansanila's army was very punctual.

At noon the next day, they handed over the "ransom".

After accepting the ransom, Chen Mo directly swallowed three monster cores from medium-level supernatural beings, gaining another 102 points of spiritual power.

Of the remaining ten low-level supernatural monster cores, Chen Mo gave five to Lion Sister.

He planned to keep the other five for the mouse.

Once Little White completes the Gluttonous Lion challenge, it can quickly become a medium-level supernatural being!

After Aisha absorbed the spiritual power of the Ice Pill, her supernatural level also successfully broke through to medium-level.

Under the effect of the Gluttonous Lion, it now measures nearly four meters in length, its size surpassing that of Hegemon, making it the second only to Chen Mo among the lion pride.

Watching Aisha grow rapidly, the Frost Lion Hegemon began to doubt its own lion nature.

Could it be that I'm not working hard enough?

Or is it that I'm not putting enough effort into "licking"?
