The first shot can still be considered lucky, letting that Black Death Demon survive by chance, but how come the second shot didn’t kill it either.
Demigod Shana continued to shoot, and after blasting the Black Death Demon apart, all the black aura on its body gathered towards the exploded head.
Li Xiu walked over and rummaged through it, quickly pulling out a Talent Gemstone from inside.
"Whoa, what’s going on? Is there really something to the idea of swapping bullets for luck?" Chu Jun’s eyes were wide with disbelief.
"You can try it and see." Li Xiu said with a smile.
Chu Jun fell silent, watching Li Xiu continue shooting.
The next shot didn’t yield another Talent Gemstone, the bullet turned into a Demon Core.
"I said so, there’s no such good fortune. Your luck with this bullet swapping isn’t cutting it." Chu Jun laughed.
With three consecutive shots, all that came out were Demon Cores, no Talent Gemstones, and by the sixth shot, Li Xiu unexpectedly pulled out a Skill Ring, leaving Chu Jun speechless.
"Goodness me, out of six Black Death Demons, you got two Talent Gemstones and a Skill Ring. Aren’t you the secret offspring of the Goddess of Fortune?" Chu Jun eyed the Forbidden Spear in Li Xiu’s hands, guessing at the cause.
Li Xiu didn’t speak, he fired the seventh shot, and again it was just Demon Cores, nothing else appeared.
When Li Xiu wanted to keep shooting, he found the Forbidden Spear wouldn’t fire anymore, despite pulling the trigger, no bullets came out.
"Are the Seven Taboos limited to just seven bullets?" Li Xiu was a bit disappointed, dashing his hopes of relying on the Forbidden Spear to farm magic spirits somewhat.
Now Li Xiu only wanted to know when he could shoot again.
But getting three items from seven shots was already quite good, considering these were just ordinary magic spirits, if it were high-quality ones, the chances would be even higher.
Though up until now, no magic spirits have been shot out; it’s uncertain if they can appear, theoretically, they should.
"It seems that the Forbidden Spear should only be used selectively on high-quality magic spirits to achieve the best results and maximum gains." Li Xiu put away the Forbidden Spear and let Demigod Shana handle the other spirits, while he used one Talent Gemstone directly.
Night Pupil: E-level talent, offering some night vision capability with a certain chance to see through dark mists.
Although having the same Night Pupil talent, both being E-level, this Night Pupil talent carries added ability to see through dark mists and is evidently stronger than the normal Night Pupil talent, overriding the previous one.
Li Xiu also used the Skill Ring he obtained, gaining the E-level Dark Curse skill.
Dark Curse: E-level skill, providing self with a dark curse, enhancing physique by a hundred and four percent during the night.
The Dark Curse did not have additional abilities but lacked the negative effect of weakening physique by forty percent during the day, making the skill much stronger.
Li Xiu was thrilled; the skills and talents from the Forbidden Spear indeed proved superior to regular ones.
Whenever encountering high-quality spirits in the future, this shot greatly increases the likelihood of acquiring skills and talents, not to mention getting better stuff. Nothing beats this ability.
"Too bad, it can only shoot seven bullets at a time." Li Xiu tossed the remaining Talent Gemstone to Chu Jun.
"What’s the use? I’ve already got the Night Pupil talent; this thing isn’t of any use to me." Chu Jun sneered.
"Go ahead and use it first." Li Xiu suggested.
Seeing that Li Xiu wasn’t joking, Chu Jun, somewhat convinced, used the Night Pupil Talent Gemstone.
"How can the Night Pupil talent see through dark mists too, is there really a difference in the same talent’s level?" Chu Jun looked at Li Xiu in amazement.
"Whenever you find high-quality spirits, remember to let me take a shot." Li Xiu calmly said.
By saying this, Li Xiu had vaguely revealed the capability of his gun to Chu Jun, making Chu Jun’s eyes envious and red.
"This ability is too strong, with such a power, what could be unobtainable..." Chu Jun said excitedly.
"Don’t get excited too early, I can only fire seven bullets, and now there’s no telling how long it’ll be before I can shoot them again." Li Xiu explained.
Sooner or later, he would have to team up with Chu Jun to kill spirits in the Land of Trials, so the ability of the Forbidden Spear didn’t need to be kept secret from him.
"Only seven bullets?" Chu Jun’s face instantly showed disappointment: "Then why waste them on these little ones, save them for the big ones..."
"Well, I was just testing." Li Xiu chuckled.
Without anymore shots, the items dropped by the Black Death Demons significantly decreased. Hundreds of Black Death Demons, including the final Flowing Color Black Death Demons, left nothing but Demon Cores behind.
The two picked up the Demon Cores, and just as Li Xiu was about to put them away, he saw Demigod Shana eyeing the Flowing Color Demon Core in his hand.
"Do you want to eat this?" Li Xiu was slightly startled, but quickly understood.
Previously, when the Jedi Knight was parasitized by evil, he started to show interest in Demon Cores.
Li Xiu assumed it was due to some attribute compatibility between the Jedi Knight and Black Death Demons; the Jedi Knight was formed from a crystal, and the entrance to the Hero Trial Ground also required a crystal to open.
Though the two had different colors, both were crystals, so the Jedi Knight’s interest in Black Death Demon Cores seemed explainable.
Now it appeared, it wasn’t just about attribute compatibility, their interest in Demon Cores was likely due to evil.
Li Xiu tossed the Flowing Color Demon Core to Demigod Shana, who swallowed it without hesitation.
Li Xiu rejoiced: "If you consume Demon Cores, that makes things simpler, I can’t obtain too many blue crystals now, but there are plenty of Demon Cores."
There were still many Radiant Black Death Demon Cores he had obtained before, and Li Xiu couldn’t wait to get out and feed the remaining Radiant Demon Cores to Demigod Shana.
