Chapter 480: Chapter 360 Cultivating Skills, Mutant Forbidden Curse!_3
 

“Hmm.”

Returning to his room, Zheng Cheng sat cross-legged in the secret chamber, closing his eyes to restore his spirit, washing away the fatigue of over a month.

Afterward, he took out the Other Shore Flower Crystal.

Taking a deep breath, without any hesitation, he directly crushed the crystal in his hand.

“Crack~”

“Buzz…”

A crisp breaking sound was followed by a faint buzzing noise.

In Zheng Cheng’s surprised eyes, streams of pinkish-red mist started to emerge from the crystal, wrapping around his body and slowly penetrating into him.

A phantom of an Other Shore Flower petal abruptly appeared before his eyes.

In his mind, strands of blood-red threads appeared, following his thoughts and spirituality deep into his consciousness.

Where two utterly different Skill Trees intertwined, a crimson fruit suddenly grew.

Germination, growth, blooming, fruition—all in one breath.

An empty fruit appeared there.

Zheng Cheng understood that this hollow fruit was the new Free Skill Slot.

[You used a low-tier rule prop: Other Shore Flower Crystal, and you have obtained a new Blank Skill Slot.]

The voice prompt from the Will of the World also startled Zheng Cheng awake.

With a backward grab, a book shimmering with black light appeared in his hand!

This skill book had the appearance of a Parchment Scroll, its surface etched with complex patterns, vaguely forming a strange flower.

[Skill Book: Spread Plague]

[Effect: Utilizes the flesh and blood of living beings to cultivate a specific plague, which after dissemination, infects targets at an extremely fast speed. Depending on the plague’s attributes, it can cause diseases such as cholera, dysentery, typhoid, etc., with a strong contagion.]

[Usage Limitation: LV60; Physique 110, Spiritual 220; restricted to the occupations of Sacrificer, Priest, Witch Doctor, poison master, etc.]

This skill book was what had dropped from the hero of the Mosquito Fly clan on Jasha Island, whom he had slain.

Only at LV60 could it be learned.

Only now could he learn it.

“Spread Plague…”

Zheng Cheng murmured, then immediately chose to learn it!

[You have learned the new skill Spread Plague…zzz zzz zzz… Skill Rune experiencing disruption…]

[System adjustment in progress… adjustment successful!]

[You have learned the new skill: Black Death Outbreak Technique!]

In his mind, on that empty Blank Skill Slot, a pure black rune that resembled two sharp fangs, a terrifying Skill Rune, suddenly appeared.

“What?”

“Black Death!”

Zheng Cheng exclaimed, his eyes full of shock.

“How is this possible? This Mutant Ability…”

He quickly began to check it.

[Black Death Outbreak Technique (Internal) LV1: Mutant Skill, you have mastered the ability to control the Black Death virus, capable of spreading the Black Death to a target or a certain area in a short period of time, controlling it to outbreak in an extreme time frame, and can clear the Black Death virus at any time.]

“The Black Death, it’s been considered one of the most terrifying plague disasters in history…”

The Black Death, it is the plague.

Blue Star also experienced an outbreak of the Black Death, and even during the Great Catastrophe due to the invasion of alien races, there was an outbreak that spread across much of the world, causing countless deaths.

It is a severe infectious disease mainly transmitted through rat fleas by the plague bacterium, which exists as a natural epidemic among wild rodents.

Clinically, its primary manifestations are high fever, lymph node pain and swelling, bleeding tendencies, and pulmonary inflammation.

The plague is highly contagious; if untreated, the death rate ranges between 30% to 60%.

Historically, the plague was a pandemic leading to a high death rate, known as “the Black Death” in the 14th century, it caused around 50 million deaths on the Obalo Continent!

Such destructive power of harm and death was comparable to large-scale Forbidden Curses!

Any person once infected with the plague, without timely treatment, was undoubtedly doomed.

And now, this terrifying viral skill had become Zheng Cheng’s ability, to be deployed by his Spiritual Attribute, this…

“A Mutant Ability that could rival a Forbidden Curse in power, this is truly terrifying!”

“Forbidden Curse!”

“My Mutant Forbidden Curse!”
