Chapter 279: Forbidden Items! (2)
Within the depths of the forbidden land, where dark water and countless rotting bones could be seen floating around, a brown, disgusting flesh with tendrils of muscles growing within its surface could be seen silently slithering toward the rotting rat opposite it.
After reducing its distance toward it by less than a meter, the moving flesh suddenly lunges toward the rat's physique with unprecedented hunger.
Screech!
With a loud screeching sound, the rat's eyes suddenly widen in agony. The feeling of unprecedented pain within its lower body made its body tremble as it could sense some unknown creature drilling toward its skin.
Slithering under its rotting skin before consuming the muscles hidden within.
In an instant, the rat's cry resounded in the silent cavern before its body began to wither at visible speed.
Swish~
Soon, after the rat's body was reduced to a thin structure, the mouth of the rat's corpse suddenly moved, opening slightly as slithering flesh came out from within.
Other than the addition to its weight, the flesh also grew an eye within its center, making its appearance more horrendous as it continued moving within the dark cave... Eying every creature within with unprecedented hunger as killing intent brews within its flesh.
"Just you wait, I'm going to catch that rabbit alive and consume its flesh slowly in order to inflict the agony that I felt!"
Thinking on how he pathetically abandoned his body, the physique that he spent time and fortunes in order to build due to the damage that the silver rabbit inflicted...
The moving flesh's killing intent suddenly intensified, causing the area around him to tremble and making the dark water beneath create waves that splashed toward the corner of the cave.
However, although it wanted to unleash its anger around it, it still forcefully calmed down, as if afraid to catch others' attention to its weakened body and invite unnecessary trouble to itself.
"I still need to consume a lot of flesh to recover my strength.
"Keke~ However, who would have thought that I would encounter a Natural Cultivation place here? Furthermore, its grade was actually beyond the 3rd grade!"
Gazing at the thick miasma filled with death Qi around it, the single eye of the flesh glinted, moving quickly as it continued hunting for flesh.
With its current situation, even though there's thick Qi around it, it wouldn't be able to consume and circulate them, making its body restless as it increased its speed of hunting.
...
Creak~
Soon, two hours silently passed by.
After talking regarding the rewards and the possible changes within the town, Leo's figure could be seen exiting the complete domain; his gray irises carried a glint as the corner of his lips couldn't help but curl upward.
Just the pale smile on his face, which unconsciously reduced the coldness his physique was releasing, already expressed his satisfaction.
Although his contribution didn't rank him at first, he still managed to gain 2 items of his choice, causing him to feel that his self-protection and skills would elevate greatly after mastering them for some time.
"I need to postpone my plan and wholly focus my attention on the items I received... Increasing my combat and self-protection abilities is my priority."
Weakly mumbling to himself, Leo was about to proceed to his horror shop when a soft sound entered his ears. Making him sigh helplessly before tilting his head to the side.
Sure enough, after tilting his head to the side, the familiar figures of Rosa and Roland entered his vision.
Other than the usual expression of Roland, which was lacking in emotion, the face of Rosa contained contentment within.
Clearly pleased that she managed to gain two items, like Leo.
"Leo, I heard that your shop opened days ago.
"It was unfortunate that we were busy days ago, or else we would immediately like to purchase some potions. Well, since we two have some free time, why not drop by and see if we could grab some potions?"
Not giving Leo a chance to reply, Rosa suddenly plunges her left arm toward the void, grasping something within before retracting it in the next second.
Then she hurriedly shoved the items hidden within her hands toward Leo before gesturing toward him to quickly hide them within his inventory.
At the same time, she didn't forget to wink playfully at the confused Leo, making the latter become dazed.
"This... I see, no problem. I still have some extra potions that I haven't sold yet."
Glancing at the small fruit hidden within his palm, sensing the churning Qi and rich blood essence hidden within them, followed by the chaotic rules it contained, Leo couldn't help but suck a cold, deep breath.
His expression changed as he glanced at the two in front of him in pure curiosity.
In all of the spiritual fruits that he had seen, the unknown spiritual fruit within his palm could be considered in the first place!
Already giving him the idea that it reached the peak of 3rd grade or probably went beyond the 3rd grade of spiritual fruit!
Even in the eyes of the Nascent Soul realm cultivators, this type of spiritual fruit would allow their level and comprehension regarding rules to increase by a considerable amount!
Not to mention a core formation realm being. If they consumed the fruit, Leo was sure that their overall strength would increase greatly!
They might even advance by a single stage if consumed at the right time.
"This is simply precious.'
Although Leo wanted to return the spiritual fruit within his palm to the two, he knew that they wouldn't accept it back; hence, he could only imprint this gratitude on his heart...
Waiting for an opportunity to return the favor in the future.
Chuckle~
"Don't just stand there; let's go and show us your shop."
Seeing the gratitude within Leo's gray irises and feeling his coldness reduce to a large extent, Rosa unfolds a soft smile on her face before speaking calmly.
Pulling the thick arm of Roland before hurriedly advancing toward the direction of Leo's shop.
