Chapter 2027 - 2028: Devouring the Langhuan Giant Serpent Beast Core
In the dead of night, Fang Xiaolian had already gone to sleep.Lin Chen tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep; he constantly felt like he hadn't finished something. Suddenly, he remembered that he hadn't retrieved the beast cores of the Lingjiao giant serpent!
The previous day, when killing the Lingjiao giant serpent, several beast cores had flown out from the serpent's body. Those were all treasures!
However, Fang Xiaolian was sleeping soundly now, and Lin Chen felt it was inappropriate to wake him up directly.
"What should I do now? Those beast cores are even stronger than the Red-eyed Diamond Beast core. If I can't absorb them, wouldn't that be a waste?" Lin Chen was caught in a dilemma.
Moreover, once the beast cores have left the monster's body, their scent will spread out, attracting more monsters and mercenaries. If others beat him to it, wouldn't that mean Qing Ling's sacrifice would be in vain?
Thinking about this, Lin Chen realized he must go retrieve those beast cores.
At the same time, if no one was there to guard Fang Xiaolian, he was worried that Fang Xiaolian might encounter danger.
After thinking it over, he remembered the silver bracelet left by Qing Ling.
The silver bracelet looked rather ordinary, but when Lin Chen touched it with his Spiritual Power, it reacted!
"Could it be!"
Lin Chen was astonished to discover that this silver bracelet was actually a larger storage space than a Storage Ring, holding nearly ten times the amount that Li Fengxing's and the dark-faced man's Storage Rings could hold, about half of what Lin Chen currently had in his Storage Ring!
In such a wide array of treasures, might there be one or two items similar to the soul-attracting incense?
Lin Chen quickly searched around and found a small red wooden box.
The reason he felt the small red wooden box was strange was due to the little seal script engraved on it.
"What... What kind of script is this?" Lin Chen was a bit frustrated.
At this moment, he regretted his lack of cultural knowledge; he should have read more books.
However, he still opened the box and found a small jar inside.
When he opened the jar to take a sniff, a pungent smell wafted out, prompting him to quickly close the jar.
"Whoa! What's that stench! It's unbearable!" Lin Chen was about to put the small jar back into the silver bracelet, but he realized that the smell seemed to have a repelling effect on beasts, so he sprinkled it around Fang Xiaolian.
Then, he deliberately walked to the side and noticed some small and medium-size monsters, such as volcano ants and gold toads, approaching Fang Xiaolian. But before they could get closer than 50 meters, they retreated.
"Haha! It seems this thing has the same effect as soul-attracting incense!"
Lin Chen was quite pleased.
Since he had found a way to protect Fang Xiaolian, he shouldn't waste any more time and must act quickly!
Without thinking further, he rushed into the Lingjiu Cave and located the three beast cores left by the deceased Lingjiao giant serpent.
The three beast cores were red, blue, and green, and seeing them made Lin Chen quite surprised.
"It seems that this giant serpent was indeed the Guardian God of Lingjiu Cave; otherwise, it couldn't have possessed three beast cores simultaneously!" Lin Chen exclaimed.
The red beast core appeared much larger than the other two, most likely the main beast core, which contained almost all of the monster's life force, while the subsidiary cores contained some additional abilities.
The blue core likely represented recovery, while the green core's function was to release toxic substances.
Seeing the green core, Lin Chen himself felt shivers down his spine.
"Oh my! This thing looks truly terrifying!" Lin Chen dared not touch the green beast core.
The blue beast core seemed more approachable than the red one, so Lin Chen decided to let Xiaolian in his dantian absorb it.
"Xiaolian, try eating this blue one first, okay?"
Upon Lin Chen's suggestion, Xiaolian didn't hesitate and thoroughly devoured the blue beast core.
At this time, Lin Chen felt a strong external force rushing into his body, reopening his governor and conception vessels, and immediately felt more spirited.
"Wow! This is unbelievable! It's like a stimulant!"
Lin Chen paced around nearby, unable to calm down, as he felt his body starting to expand; perhaps this was a sign he needed to change.
If Lin Chen couldn't make a change here, he might explode on the spot.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt somewhat anxious.
"No! I can't let this feeling continue!" Lin Chen quickly seized the moment and absorbed the red beast core into his body.
"Oh my god! This thing feels amazing!"
Xiaolian inside Lin Chen's body exclaimed in admiration, and hearing this, Lin Chen felt ecstatic.
"Is that so? Then hurry up and finish eating!" Lin Chen replied.
As Xiaolian continued to devour the red beast core, Lin Chen began to see some hallucinations.
He witnessed the Lingjiao giant serpent battling an unknown monster, which had three snake heads and was slightly larger than the Lingjiao giant serpent, seemingly more powerful!
Though the scene only flashed by, seeing it left Lin Chen dumbfounded.
"I finished eating, hurry up and bring the green one too!" Xiaolian urged.
Prompted by Xiaolian, Lin Chen finally emerged from his hallucination.
"Huh? What? Who am I? Where am I?" Lin Chen wondered anxiously.
"The green one! Bring it!" Xiaolian continued to shout.
Not daring to delay, Lin Chen quickly absorbed the green beast core into his body, feeling a cold sensation spreading throughout his body, making him noticeably rigid!
"This!"
Lin Chen collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
At this moment, he felt countless tiny ants gnawing at his bones, and when he tried to stand, he couldn't move!
"Why! Why is this happening!" Lin Chen hurriedly asked Xiaolian.
"Don't panic! This thing is poisonous, and absorbing it requires proper digestion. Don't worry; it won't harm you!" Xiaolian assured.
Calmed by Xiaolian's words, Lin Chen relaxed a bit.
Still, his body continued to ache tremendously.
When he finally came to, he realized his back was drenched with sweat.
"Xiaolian? Xiaolian?" Lin Chen called out to Xiaolian, but his dantian remained unresponsive.
Could it be that Xiaolian had eaten too much?
