SWNOVELXO Chapter 122 Abundant Spoils of War
"What a pity!"
This layer of skin was originally good enough to make clothing, but now it's been blown to shreds by a bomb, with burn marks everywhere, clearly of no practical value anymore.
As for the strange and bizarre organs inside...
Even bacteria wouldn't eat such things, so Lu Yuan certainly couldn't just eat them willy-nilly.
Of course, with the mindset that "even a mosquito's leg is meat," he still took out his Superior dagger and dissected the monster.
This strange being's body structure was unlike that of normal creatures, filled with liquid acid and various stone-like indeterminate structures, which even the Pioneer's Eye was unable to identify.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Lu Yuan's eyes shone with a golden light!
This was the sign of a treasure!!
He pulled out a fist-sized stone that sparkled like a diamond in the sunlight.
[Shining Spirit Crystal]
[Potentially an organ from an anomaly used to store Ideal Energy. The energy inside is very pure and can significantly accelerate the cultivation of the Extraordinary Spark, as well as other tasks that require the consumption of Ideal Energy. (Legendary Level·Natural Oddities)]
[Note: Using this item will increase the speed of cultivation aid by 46%-123%]
"Legendary?!"
Lu Yuan grinned ear to ear; his cultivation talent was ordinary at best, and even a 46% cultivation boost was considerable.
Moreover, the Red Spirit Crystal had already been half absorbed by the Tree of Life, and he was actually somewhat worried that once it was all consumed, he'd have nothing left in his hands.
The appearance of the "Shining Spirit Crystal" was like someone bringing a pillow to him while he was dozing off.
"I haven't finished checking the corpse. There might still be loot."
He meticulously dissected it, not overlooking any clue.
Finally, in that disgusting large eyeball, he found another piece of valuable loot.
[Far-sighted Cornea, greatly enhances your vision. Due to high-temperature damage, its use value is greatly reduced. (Rare Level·Natural Oddities)]
[Ability: Far-Sight.]
[How to use: Attach directly to the eyes.]
About the size of a palm, like a lens of glasses, rigid.
What a shame, parts of it had been smashed by the bomb.
"Originally, this cornea was at least Superior Level, maybe even Legendary."
Lu Yuan placed the transparent lens over his eyes and looked into the distance.
Instantly, a flood of information poured into his mind.
There was simply too much information, from the clouds in the sky to birds tens of kilometers away, even allowing him to see the dust in the air and the endless bacteria!
Lu Yuan felt dizzy and turned pale, nearly vomiting.
He quickly removed the cornea and it took quite a while for him to recover his senses.
"Whew... this thing...it's actually pretty good."
"Combined with the Donkey Head Mask, couldn't it just cure myopia?"
The Donkey Head Mask was actually also damaged.
The ability of the "Third eye" was greatly weakened in high temperatures.
Now with this piece of cornea, it seemed there was a potential for repair?
Of course, the modification of supernatural items is not an easy task; only with a burst of inspiration from his Craftsmanship could Lu Yuan feel confident.
He scratched his scalp, very satisfied with his haul.
"Looking at it,[Monster's] loot is much richer than [Demon's]!"
Killing a [Demon] really doesn't bring any benefit.
The remains of a [Demon] are too dangerous, and one still has to worry about it taking over and resurrecting.
Killing a [Monster]... At least there is some loot from the corpse.
If it were a proper civilization, perhaps more could be harvested and the organs utilized as well.
A sudden burst of inspiration flashed through Lu Yuan as he summoned his Tree of Life.
"Ordinary creatures can't enjoy this corpse."
"But maybe my Tree of Life can?"
The Tree of Life, supporting such a big burden as Lu Yuan, was on its last legs, severely depleted; its leaves drooped, turning from their original vibrant green to a waxen yellow, looking like it could die at any moment.
Under Lu Yuan's control, the frail tree materialized once again.
It stood atop the [Monster]'s corpse, motionless.
"Eat it!"
The poor "Tree of Life" might truly be a noble thing.
It just didn't know how to consume the [Monster]'s corpse!
Lu Yuan only felt the tree's longing, seemingly the consumption of the [Monster]'s corpse would be beneficial.
But without even a mouth, how was it supposed to eat? Using its roots?
"Idiot, produce a Cannibal Flower." Old Cat shouted from the side.
Lu Yuan began to hasten the growth of a vine, which was the Cannibal Flower vine he had grafted onto the Tree of Life. With rapid fertilization, a small Cannibal Flower appeared.
The Tree of Life became a little more menacing.
The Cannibal Flower viciously bit into the [Monster]'s corpse.
In Lu Yuan's heart, a sense of satisfaction and joy arose... like a patient who had received a potent tonic.
After all, the life of the Tree of Life was closely linked to his soul.
He could now be certain that letting the Tree of Life devour this anomaly was indeed very beneficial.
Of course, the digestion speed of plants is slow, and it might take a very long time...
He turned around to Old Cat: "What are you fiddling with over there?"
"I'm messing with this [Ghost]. If it gets out, we're all dead," Old Cat replied.
Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he quickly ran to the edge of the water.
The mournful green resin had now taken on a vibrant shade of red. Even the Pioneer's Eye couldn't predict what sort of mutation had occurred.
