The Ghost Hand plunged into the mangled neck of the Grafted Noble. Grayish-white mist swirled upwards, from which came the subtle sound of gnawing. It was as if an unknown strangeness lurked within the gray mist, devouring everything.
The Limb-Attaching Demon let out an intense, struggling roar. Most of its limbs had been blasted off; its body, resembling a giant crab, was subdued by a fox engulfed in blazing fire, and numerous fiery explosions burst forth one after another on it.
With a splat, its head slid down.
The enormous body trembled for a full minute before it unwillingly fell, its flesh writhing and twitching before gradually falling still.
[Evolution Point +25]
The Knight clad in Flame Armor, as the flames dispersed, revealed a delicate, handsome face, his Star Eyes ablaze, radiant in spirit.
After a fierce battle, Chu Yi finally managed to deal with this War General-level Limb-Attaching Demon; it wasn’t even as strong as a Nightmare Deer King. The high-explosive grenades given to him by Catherine had a strong Spiritual Strike, which had a significant lethal effect on the Limb-Attaching Demon. He had nearly exhausted his supply of grenades, weakening the Limb-Attaching Demon’s stats with spiritual force, and launched a fierce attack with his Pet Beast.
Because it had grafted Pet Beast organs, it was polluted and twisted by the Abyss, its mental will was very weak, and its brain deranged, making it susceptible to mental-attribute attacks, Chu Yi’s Star Eyes sparkled, stroking the Ring of Curse’s pink vertical pupil as it slowly closed, reflecting. By controlling it with the Power of Rules and deepening the damage time and again, only then was I able to slay it. If this Limb-Attaching Demon had maintained its sanity, I might have been in grave danger.
Bika collapsed exhausted on the ground, swallowing a Spirit Core given by Chu Yi to dispel the pollution. To withstand the Limb-Attaching Demon, its fur had been slashed and was far from pretty; Bika, usually so vain, had its fur bristling in distress.
Of course, Bika also gained battle experience, honing its skills significantly. It was far from being the cute, rolling pet fox it once was. This made Chu Yi feel it was time to "contract" a second Pet Beast. A Red Copper-rank Beast Tamer would generally have two or three Pet Beasts.
However, now it was time to reap the rewards. The Limb-Attaching Demon, stitched together from various Pet Beast limbs, was a big material gift pack!
My beauties! Chu Yi was overjoyed, his brow softened. The Ghost Hand devoured the Power of the Soul, strengthening itself, and performed an extraction.
[Broken Blood Core *1]
[Eight-Limbed Demon Eye *1]
[Jade Foot of the One-Horned Demon Spider *2]
[Sturdy Crab Claw *1]
Among them, the Muddy Light was extracted from two swords and a shield, then fused, filled with an aura of the twilight apocalypse. Upon closer inspection, inside was a city cast in gold, resembling a medieval style. The image was blurry, a muddy yellow hue, carrying pollution. Even Chu Yi had to consume a Spirit Core to withstand this pollution and directly view the apocalyptic scene.
It kept mentioning the Golden Road? King? Could it be the King of this city? Chu Yi speculated as he put the Muddy Light into the Kitchen.
He didn’t dwell on it, instead excitedly checking the recipe for a Feast.
[Fairy Forest]: Brain Worm *30, Dawn Grass *1, Sun Crystal *2, Fairy Spring *10, Price: 10.
At the sight of this Feast’s name, Chu Yi was reminded of a story of a modern person traveling to another world to save Elves, a tale of heroism that even made the Elf girls weep. Chu Yi’s favorite was the White-haired Elf in the story.
He again transformed into an omniscient and omnipotent god, entering the Kitchen. He grabbed two stalks of intermingled blue and gold wheat and crushed them with a hammer. Then he ground the Brain Worms into a white slurry, merging it with the Divine Fragment.
Chu Yi pondered a bit, then also took out the Eight-Limbed Demon Eye and smashed it. This is a powerful Brain Worm, containing life force corresponding to the War General level!
Finally, after a series of bone-chilling operations, these materials were stewed, concentrated, purified, and combined in a large pot, turning into a small bottle of Golden Potion, only 1 milliliter.
[Feast]: Fairy Forest
[Effects]: Permanently raises the upper limit of Spiritual Power; increases recovery and resistance, immune to mental control of the same tier; great chance to comprehend mental attribute skills.
[Evaluation]: Using Divinity to elevate a strange two-star Feast to perfection, you’re truly a little genius, wasting divine gifts.
[Reward]: Evolution Point +20
Divinity is the GOAT!
Disregarding the intelligent evaluation of the evolution guide, Chu Yi tilted his head back and dripped a drop into his eye. The golden drop fell onto the nebula within his eye, exploding into tens of thousands of golden lights. A sharp pain flashed past, immediately followed by a minty coolness.
Very strangely, Chu Yi felt his eyes absorbing it, as if they were gnawing on food. A moment later, his Spiritual Power, which hadn’t increased for a long time, started to boil like bubbling hot water!
The Evil-Breaking Eyes began a frantic upgrade, leaping to level 12. The mental augmentation allowed Chu Yi to keenly perceive any movement within a hundred meters—down to an ant’s crawl, a mosquito’s flight, and plant growth, all were crystal clear. This upgrade felt wonderful.
His gaze locked onto the corpse of a Three-Eyed Demon Wolf. Ripples stirred in his mind as threads of Spiritual Power condensed, forming something like a giant tentacle that struck suddenly.
The next moment, as if twisted by an invisible force, the corpse erupted with a bizarre tearing sound. The compressed flesh burst apart, splattering everywhere.
[Skill]: [Telekinesis]!
An enemy? Bika was startled, reigniting its flames and shielding Chu Yi, thinking a new wave of enemies had arrived.
"It’s okay, Bika. This is my new ability," Chu Yi smiled. Using Spiritual Power to interfere with material reality—this method is fantastic, very suitable for me! But... why tentacles? No matter. As long as they’re useful, tentacles are more flexible.
"YINGYING?" Bika tilted its head, not understanding why the corpse had suddenly exploded. It curled itself into a Fur Ball and jumped into its master’s pocket to sleep. It needed to digest the Spirit Core and sleep to regain energy.
Good stuff, Chu Yi thought, gazing at the small bottle of eye drops before putting it back into the Kitchen. One milliliter can be used for about 20 drops, and using one drop every solar day gives the best effect. Just as the evolution guide said, using Divinity to make Feasts is too extravagant. Similarly, if my Spiritual Power is heavily depleted, a single drop can instantly restore me to peak condition. Another trump card!
Chu Yi was delighted. Something that can enhance Spiritual Power without any side effects is definitely worth a scramble among the strong. If I used this Feast for trade, I could acquire a heap of astonishing resources.
"Brain Worm, Brain Worm..." Chu Yi muttered.
Time was still abundant. He picked up the two swords and the shield; after wiping them clean, they could still be used. He started the self-driving car, heading to other garbage spots.
Even if Brain Worms can’t be used to make Feasts, they can still be sold at a high price! With some luck, I might even acquire a heap of Spirit Cores. Master Chu has a kind heart; I can’t stand seeing teammates perish in the wilderness. I make a special effort to collect their bodies and avenge them. After extracting their Spirit Cores, I’ll just burn the remains. The Federation advocates cremation, so I’m just following policy, being a five-star good citizen.
