As she cut, Stelle couldn't help but complain to Pei Guang, "Ah Guang, is this the boss you were talking about?"
Pei Guang, deep in thought, replied, "Sorry, I misjudged. This is just a small fry."
However, while cutting, an unexpected event occurred. Under the protection of the Abundant Ebon Deer's power, it began to regenerate after receiving fatal wounds. Sensing the growing threat, the Ambrosial Arbor granted even more power to the deer.
Its antlers regenerated, its limbs grew back, and, under the influence of the Abundant Ebon Deer's strength, fruit symbolizing the power of abundance began to grow on its antlers. At the same time, the immense force knocked Pei Guang and Stelle, who were cutting it, flying backward.
Stelle's eyes widened in surprise: "The materials regenerated?"
Pei Guang: "Looks like it's an infinite regeneration type? This is a good thing! I bet this is one of those treasure monsters that will keep respawning resources for a set time. It's full of treasures. Let's do our best to gather as much as we can!"
The Abundant Ebon Deer, which had just been reborn and was preparing to take revenge, tried to launch an attack. However, when it looked up and saw Pei Guang holding his wooden sword and Stelle holding a molecular chainsaw, the deer instinctively took a few steps back. In that moment, newly reborn, it was overcome by the most primal fear that all living creatures possess.
As a creation of abundance, it deeply understood how terrifying the Denizens of Abundance were. While these individuals weren't exactly Denizens of Abundance, its instincts told it that they might be even more dangerous than the Denizens of Abundance themselves.
It turned to flee, but when it tried to run, Pei Guang activated a taunt. However, the Abundant Ebon Deer resisted the taunt with an effect resistance and ignored it, continuing its retreat.
Welt quickly realized that Pei Guang and Stelle had special methods of extracting materials from the creature. Given that, how could he let it escape?
"See the destruction of the stars!" Welt announced confidently.
"Star of Eden: Zeroth power, synthetic black hole!"
With a swift adjustment of his glasses, Welt activated his power, saying, "Survive or be destroyed, there is no other choice."
This was the first time Welt had used his full strength since arriving in Xianzhou, and in that instant, the pseudo-black hole enveloped the Abundant Ebon Deer as it tried to escape. For an enemy that could recover even from fatal wounds, Welt found it tricky, but he knew exactly what to do after seeing Pei Guang and Stelle's actions. To them, the Abundant Ebon Deer wasn't even an enemy, just a regular hunt.
Under Welt's attack, the deer's body was cleaved in half. Pei Guang and Stelle immediately jumped in with their disassembling tools.
Pei Guang gave Welt a thumbs up: "Uncle Yang! Thank you!!! For this amazing loot, I'll offer you a share first."
Putting aside everything else, just because Welt had been so reliable, Pei Guang was more than happy to give him the fruits of their labor. What does a player want? Of course, it's the satisfaction, and since Welt made him feel that way, how could he not share the spoils?
Stelle: "Time to get to work~ Ah Guang, how should we divide the materials?"
Pei Guang: "I'll take the legs, you take the antlers."
"Ah Guang! Which part do we leave so it can regenerate?"
Pei Guang: "The part we can't pick up is the one it'll regenerate from. Leave that part intact, don't accidentally chop it off. We still need it to mass-produce materials. Slow down, slow down, cut cleanly. This time, I've prepared for it. I didn't expect it to revive before, but now that it dares to come back, I guarantee it won't last five seconds. Oh? Look, it's growing peaches again."
Stelle, curious, poked it: "Do you think it's tasty?"
Pei Guang casually chopped off the newly grown peaches: "Don't eat them recklessly, these are probably raw materials. Eating them might cause a debuff, but that's not a big problem—we've got Bailu and March 7th here. Let them experiment with it. Look! It's growing back again."
While those two were busy disassembling the Abundant Ebon Deer, on the other side, March 7th and Bailu were watching the cauldron.
March 7th: "If we only add the antlers, the result will be a decorative effect. But if we add the meat and your medicine, Bailu, we get a special effect medicine. Hmm."
Bailu: "Impressive, you know how these materials work?"
March 7th: "Not really~ I just thought the names were interesting, so I threw them together. By the way, the venison, I combined it with seasonings. Do you think it's edible?"
Bailu took a bite of the venison and nodded with satisfaction: "Mmm! It's got a spicy flavor. Oh, it also has my healing properties, along with a bit of the Abundant Ebon Deer's restorative abilities. The only downside is that you shouldn't eat too much. Eating too much could mess up your system… Burp—I'll have another piece."
March 7th: "Here we go~ you should try the peaches I made!"
Bailu took a bite: "Hmm~ sweet and sour, and there's even a hint of cola flavor? But the healing effect is top-tier. It rivals my medicine."
March 7th, excited, explained: "I added just a little bit of cola! I'm calling it Cola Peaches!"
March 7th had fully embraced the joy of synthesis. Since there was no recipe, the process had been entirely experimental, blending ingredients randomly.
What? Waste? Not at all. As long as it unlocks new synthesis recipes, it's useful.
Besides, the Abundant Ebon Deer is pretty reliable. As long as it lands one fatal attack, its body will quickly regenerate. Considering the characteristics of the sleepy coffee, Pei Guang didn't dare give it coffee; instead, he chose to just let it alive and restrained.
Like the secret method of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus for harvesting the Vidyadhara's bone marrow, the Traiblazers harvested the Abundant Ebon Deer's "treasures".
While they were disassembling and experimenting, Master Gongshu, who had been quietly observing, stepped out.
He looked at the scene, shivered, and then turned to Welt. "Pardon my curiosity, but are your companions really not Denizens of Abundance?"
According to Master Gongshu's understanding, only Denizens of Abundance would treat that deer's life in this manner.
Seeing Pei Guang and Stelle's cruel behavior, as well as the way March 7th and Bailu were preparing the meat behind them, Master Gongshu realized that he was witnessing live Denizens of Abundance on the Xianzhou.
Welt pondered for a moment, then replied, "I can confirm without a doubt, none of them are connected to that but..."
