Is This Real?

Upon closer inspection!

Jesse Thompson's feet seemed to have a slight energy fluctuation, and his running speed was at least 30% faster than his own??

Given the distance between them and Jesse Thompson's running speed, the wind blades simply couldn't hit him?

"Damn!"

"Is this... for real?"

Not only Bruce Roberts and Cedric, even James and Ignacio were dumbfounded.

Jesse Thompson's running speed was simply absurdly fast? It was even faster than Ignacio, who was skilled at escaping, at full speed!

Was this the speed an injured person could achieve??

Watching Jesse Thompson disappear through the exit, Bruce Roberts frowned.

Damn it!!

Was it because his luck hadn't run out yet, so he couldn't kill him?

Or was it simply because of strength?

Bruce Roberts quickly pondered and felt it should be the latter.

After all, since the apocalypse descended, he had only slightly improved his weapons, and his physical strength and abilities had naturally increased without active reinforcement.

It seemed like there was still some urgency?

Thinking of this, Bruce Roberts couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but at this point, he couldn't afford to think about anything else.

"Cedric, go after him and be careful!"

"Yes, Young Master Bruce!" Cedric nodded and followed Jesse Thompson closely.

Seeing Cedric leave, Bruce Roberts silently placed the small black iron crystal nucleus from his pocket into his mouth.

The black iron crystal nucleus was about the size of an adult's little fingernail!

Almost like taking medicine.

The crystal nucleus was icy cold upon entering his mouth, with no taste.

After holding it in his mouth, Bruce Roberts opened the bottle of water he had with him and forcefully drank two mouthfuls!

And so, the crystal nucleus was swallowed into Bruce Roberts' stomach.

After the icy cold crystal nucleus entered Bruce Roberts' stomach, it quickly turned into a warm stream.

Starting from Bruce Roberts' stomach, it rapidly spread throughout his body.In less than a minute, that warm stream washed away all of Bruce Roberts' exhaustion.

The feeling was amazing!

Even better than soaking in a hot bath.

Before Bruce Roberts could fully enjoy this sensation, a system notification popped up.

[Ding, you have recovered a significant amount of stamina.]

[Ding, you have strengthened your body. Strengthening results: Vitality +1, Strength +2, Agility +2!]

Bruce Roberts glanced at his attribute panel.

Vitality: 22

Mental Power: 26

Strength: 24

Agility: 22

This was Bruce Roberts' attribute panel after strengthening.

Non-attributed crystal nuclei wouldn't enhance mental power!

The other three attributes would also receive different non-attributed strengthening crystal nuclei depending on the type of monster.

Different monsters contained different energies within non-attributed crystal nuclei!

Some were stronger in strength, some in agility, and some in vitality.

For a normal enhancer, the total attributes enhanced by a non-attributed black iron level crystal nucleus would not exceed 5 points.

Only a few could reach 6 points.

As for why Bruce Roberts chose to consume this crystal nucleus at this moment?

It was because he had used one shot of his ability to kill a sickle mantis and then used two more shots to deal with Jesse Thompson!

He currently only had two shots left.

With limited stamina and only two wind blades, he feared he wouldn't be able to handle the two guys in front of him.

Plus, he would have to retrieve treasures from inside later.

So without hesitation, he consumed the crystal nucleus.

Looking at the two confused individuals in the distance, Bruce Roberts took a deep breath.

"James, Ignacio, it's your turn next!" After dealing with the two advanced mantises on the first floor of the hotel!

With only a little over fifty percent of his stamina remaining.

After killing a few monsters along the way, there were few left in the secret realm.

To ensure his deterrence and absolute safety, he didn't hesitate to consume that crystal nucleus.So... James and Ignacio were dumbfounded.

When Cynthia Sanchez was healing their injuries, they didn't think much about it.

After all, Cynthia Sanchez was saving them, and they couldn't repay kindness with enmity at that time.

But after Bruce Roberts suddenly attacked Jesse Thompson, they began to consider whether they should take a gamble for their own future!

Seize the opportunity to take down Jesse Thompson and Bruce Roberts together, and monopolize the treasures inside?

However, they didn't expect the battle between the two sides to end so quickly.

Bruce Roberts actually used verbal attacks and injured Jesse Thompson a second time?

So they resolutely gave up on this idea.

Later, when they saw Bruce Roberts, who was somewhat panting and very exhausted, still called Cedric away?

This idea came up again.

But now... Bruce Roberts seemed to have completely recovered?

What was going on?

"Don't worry, we'll keep our word!"

Seeing Bruce Roberts' recovery of stamina, James didn't have time to delve deeper into it and could only reluctantly say.

He dared not escape or resist.

Because his awakened ability was just strength.

His professional title was also very simple, called a strongman.

Characterized by great strength and strong vitality!

But due to insufficient speed and too much energy consumption, he couldn't possibly withstand Bruce Roberts' wind blades with his own flesh and blood.

And he didn't have a special life-saving skill like Jesse Thompson.

Unable to fight or flee, what could he do?

As for Ignacio, it goes without saying.

He naturally had an innate fear of Bruce Roberts!

If it weren't for his special abilities, he wouldn't even have the courage to have second thoughts.

Now, seeing Bruce Roberts possessing abilities, he also gave up resistance.

His awakened ability only made him run faster, have higher defense, and stronger attack.

With too much energy consumption, he couldn't outrun Bruce Roberts either?So he could only obey Bruce Roberts' arrangement like James!

"First, tell me about the situation inside with that monkey!"

Bruce Roberts approached the direction of the cave with the two of them, carefully: "You said before that you couldn't defeat this monkey? Have you fought it before?"

"We did fight it! Here's what happened..."

With James explaining again, Bruce Roberts finally got a rough idea.

The big monkey inside was very special.

As long as you didn't provoke it, it wouldn't even come out of the cave.

Even if all its minions were dead, it wouldn't come out.

After they killed the last ten or so monkeys, they went in and attracted this big monkey out!

They found that this monkey was very large and aggressive, very fierce!

They couldn't beat it, so they could only flee for their lives.

But after running a distance, they realized the monster didn't chase them, so they came back here for the treasure.

Based on their analysis, they believed this monster wouldn't stray too far from the cave!

So they devised a plan to lure the monster out and snatch the treasure.

Bruce Roberts wasn't sure how much of what they said was true, but he had his own way of discerning.

"Ignacio, you go attract the monster, James, you lead the way!"

Ignacio's awakened ability was different from the usual abilities.

Because his awakened ability was in the animal category.

Yes, humans could awaken various abilities, including awakening animal genes.

An Awakener who awakened animal genes not only retained human characteristics and intelligence but also had the traits of that animal.

The strengths of both were additive!

Take Ignacio for example!

The animal gene he awakened wasn't that of a lizard.

It was that of a dragon!

Of course, not the Eastern divine dragon or the Western flying dragon.

But a dinosaur.

A velociraptor.

Normally, his strength and speed were not much stronger than an ordinary person's.

But once in combat, his body and limbs would automatically transform into the appearance of a velociraptor.
