Chereads / Reincarnated As Mystic Tortoise: I Put All My Points In Defense / Chapter 27 - The Pangolin That Can Fake Its Death

Chapter 27 - The Pangolin That Can Fake Its Death

The swamp was highly toxic, and the green miasma in the vicinity was produced by this swamp. Even if they were not swallowed by the swamp, they would still not be able to survive after being exposed to so much miasma.

Who would have thought that Lin Xuan would be fine! Fortunately, he had an impervious body, otherwise he would not have dared to be so arrogant.

The Pangolin was stunned for a moment, then it turned around and ran. It could see that Lin Xuan was not easy to deal with. Although the Pangolin's limbs were short, it was not slow when it ran.

"It's not that easy to run."

Lin Xuan laughed coldly. It was impolite not to return the favor. How could he not return the favor after being led into this swamp?

The Pangolin was so focused on running away that it did not notice the spider silk coming at it from behind. Perhaps it had never thought that a turtle could have the skills of a spider.

Shortly after, the Pangolin was bound by spider silk. As it struggled, the spider silk only became tighter and tighter. The Pangolin could not even run a few dozen meters. In the end, it could not continue to stand steadily and fell to the ground.

It had to be said that spider silk was really useful. No matter if it was a human or a demonic beast, no one could escape from it.

The Pangolin struggled violently on the ground, and when Lin Xuan got closer, it gradually stopped moving.

Lin Xuan was bewildered. He looked at the spider silk in his hand and then at the Pangolin on the ground, thinking that it was playing some tricks again.

After all, the Pangolin's intelligence was much higher than the ones he had encountered before. It would even make use of the swamp to harm other demonic beasts.

Lin Xuan walked over to take a look and confirmed that it wasn't breathing. Even its chest wasn't moving up and down. 

Lin Xuan spoke in surprise, "That's impossible. He died so quickly?"

Although the spider silk was soaked in poison, it would not take effect so quickly. Moreover, the Pangolin lived in a place full of toxic miasma, so it had a certain resistance in its body. It would not be easily poisoned to death.

"It would be a pity if he really died."

The Spiritual Treasure of Pangolin's meat had to be eaten before the Pangolin was dead to have any effect. Otherwise, it would become a poison that penetrated the intestines after death. Once it was touched, it would be highly toxic and would not have any effect.

While Lin Xuan was puzzled, he suddenly remembered that some animals in the animal world could fake their deaths. Was this Pangolin the same?

Looking at the system notification that was completely different from reality, Lin Xuan's eyes suddenly became thought-provoking. He had to admit that this demon beast was really smart. Its fake death skill had even reached the level of deception.

Unfortunately, the Pangolin was unlucky to have met Lin Xuan. He had the system, a cheating device, in his hands. It would notify once the system has tested it.

If the Pangolin was really dead, the system would have given him that notification. Lin Xuan was finally relieved and bit down without hesitation!

"Owwuuu!"

The Spiritual Treasure Pangolin howled in pain. Its body suddenly sat up, looking very lively. Then, it fell back to the ground.

Its green bean-sized eyes stared at Lin Xuan with a shocking amount of hatred and resentment.

As everyone knew, the Pangolins that were already dead were extremely poisonous and could not be used physically. With this skill, it had deceived countless enemies and it had never failed. But now, it had failed at Lin Xuan's hands.

Lin Xuan's bite was extremely vicious, instantly adding a state of paralysis to the Pangolin. Taking advantage of the Pangolin's temporary paralysis, he stabbed it with the red snake's venomous fangs.

The Pangolin's entire body was suddenly covered in black gas, and all the scales on its body had changed color. It began to struggle in pain again, showing how powerful the red snake's venomous fangs were. Other than the snake's gallbladder, its poison was the strongest.

The Pangolin did not move even after its scales had turned as black as ink and glowed with a dim light.

This time, it was completely over.

[The host has successfully killed the Pangolin, a fifth-tier Mystic-level demonic beast spirit treasure. You have received 400 experience points!] 

[20 attribute points!]

[Devouring creature detected.]

[Tier 5 Pangolin (dead) devouring success rate 100%]

[The host has activated devour skill.]

[Acquired Skill: Pseudocide]

Lin Xuan's attribute points had already reached 70, and just like before, he added them all to defense. What surprised him the most was that he acquired the Pangolin's Pseudocide skill.

This is a good skill. If you use the Pseudocide skill in battle and then execute a sneak attack when the enemy was not paying attention, it was simply impossible to guard against. 

After dealing with the Pangolin, Lin Xuan was still exploring the swamp. He didn't have any idea that Su Yu and the others were approaching.

Su Yu looked at the land not far ahead, which was filled with green mist. The hound was circling in the same place and did not continue to move forward for a while. It just barked at the front.

"The miasma forest is right in front of us. The gas is thick and poisonous. If the hound stops here, it means that the smell is gone. The turtle should have gone in."

Everyone was a little confused when they heard this. They didn't know what the turtle was doing in the miasma. Moreover, this place was well known for its danger. Almost none of the demon beasts that went in came out alive.

"What should we do now?"

"The miasma forest is very dangerous. Maybe this turtle accidentally entered it and is likely to have met with a mishap."

"It seems like we don't need to do anything. It's going to play itself to death."

Although he said that, Su Yu still did not feel at ease. After all, the turtle has a high defense, and it has toxins. Maybe it can resist the miasma. 

"Let's wait for a while." Su Yu decided.

They weren't worried that the turtle would leave from other places. There was only one passage in the miasma forest, and the way going in and out were the same.
