Lu Luo, following the direction previously indicated by Chu Qi, walked into a room in the corner of this floor. The corpses of four Exotic Species were piled in the corner. These bodies were undoubtedly a huge fortune for the current Lu Luo.
However, before absorbing the corpses of these Exotic Species, there were so other things to do, like searching the bodies.
Why not devour them and then search? Digging through the bodies like this, even though I'm not easily grossed out, still feels pretty disgusting.
Lu Luo's expression was a bit twisted. Although Specter Species or intelligence species had appeared in the exhibition hall, most of them were of the animal kind.
The scent of animal Exotic Species wasn't exactly pleasant. After they beca corpses, that scent mixed with the stench of blood and rot—oh, the delightful combination!
[Your Devourer Level is too low; you will devour both the Exotic Species corpses and the Dark Energy items. If you do so, you run a high risk of losing an extrely valuable piece of equipnt.]
[Also, you better be quick. The Dark Energy in the corpses of Exotic Species dissipates rapidly after death. For you, these are all precious energies. Every second counts!]
Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier?
Seeing the Observer's prompt, Lu Luo searched the bodies even faster. Soon, from a pile of mangled flesh, he found an old pocket watch. The mont he held the watch, Lu Luo felt it was extrely unusual.
This feeling was like the sensation he got when he, as a Devourer, devoured an Exotic Species.
Got it.
[You've obtained a piece of equipnt! Although it's trash in the eyes of the noble Observer, there's no doubt it's an extrely valuable item for you.]
**Grudge Pocket Watch**
**Grade:** Excellent
**Effect - Wraith:** Releases a First Tier Specter Species—Zhang Zhe's wraith—to indiscriminately attack the surrounding area. Can only be used once.
**Description:** "I was never ant to beco an Exotic Species; they deceived ! Chu Qi deserves to die, everyone deserves to die!" —Zhang Zhe
**Tip:** This item is an accessory and can be further synthesized.
[Wow, this item is actually the condensed grudge of an Exotic Species. His hatred has beco a tangible thing, which is quite incredible.]
Looking at the pocket watch, Lu Luo fell into deep thought. The description on the watch, as well as the hints provided by the Observer, were quite informative. Zhang Zhe had been one of their classmates—had he turned into an Exotic Species for so reason? Who were 'they'? Was it Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals, the sponsor of this trip, or was it people like Gu Fangyi and Chu Qi on this floor? Why should Chu Qi die? Why did Zhang Zhe hate Chu Qi so much? Did Zhang Zhe's transformation into an Exotic Species have anything to do with Chu Qi? Or, was the Exotic Species Zhang Zhe killed by Chu Qi? But the main fighting force of the team just now was obviously Gu Fangyi; Chu Qi hadn't shown any significant fighting ability. Did her frail appearance hide her real strength?
Lu Luo rapidly filtered this information in his mind, assessing possible scenarios. Then, he labeled Chu Qi as a suspect.
The reason was simple: the Observer had made it clear this item was condensed hatred. This could only an Zhang Zhe truly hated Chu Qi, and then 'them.'
This Grudge item was generated from hatred... I better be cautious with this Chu Qi.
For Lu Luo, this item was undoubtedly a trump card right now. However, the last tip made him pay even more attention.
An accessory? Can this thing be combined with other items?
[Wraith Blade—Synthesis formula: Zhang Zhe's pocket watch 3 strands of the sleeping witch's hair a mutated species' hand bone 249 energy points 1 gram of Dark Spirit Stone.]
There's actually a formula? What's the sleeping witch's hair?
[It's the hair from the monster under the staircase, full of Dark Energy and extrely tough. Just three strands will do.]
Lu Luo fell silent for a while, then quietly extended the Devourer's black thread. After a mont, he spoke.
The world of the living is quite nice; I'm not ready to leave yet.
Putting aside the massive 249-point energy deficit and the extrely expensive Dark Spirit Stone, just obtaining a single strand of the sleeping witch's hair was beyond his current capabilities. Then there was the mutated species' hand bone, which he didn't quite understand either. This synthesis seed a long way off.
After pocketing the Grudge Pocket Watch, Lu Luo started to clean up the corpses of these Exotic Species. The process of devouring energy was always so pleasurable.
Gu Fangyi and his team had killed four Exotic Species in total. This was the outco of the battle that left only five survivors out of this floor's staff, visitors, and over a dozen students—an incredibly grueso aftermath.
One of the four Exotic Species provided Lu Luo with 50 energy, while the others supplied around 20 each, giving him a total of 130 points.
His total energy now stood at 147, giving Lu Luo the feeling of becoming rich overnight.
Damn it, I'm already restraining myself, so why can't I stop the corners of my mouth from turning up? It's just 147 points of energy, Lu Luo, you can't get cocky! But what's with this feeling of elation?
Without pausing, Lu Luo imdiately started enhancing his attributes, focusing on agility, the one attribute that could bring about a change in his current situation.
3.1, 3.2... 4.9, 5.0.
The mont he spent 90 points to reach an agility of 5.0, a new prompt appeared.
[Agility attribute has increased to 5.0, talent Awakening Sequence D-14-Dexterity automatically triggered.]
**Sequence D-14-Dexterity**
**Effect - Dexterity:** Increases dexterity by 10%.
**Description:** Move stylishly, strike swiftly.
[Dexterity Progression: Continue to enhance agility Leap of Faith.]
[Quite a decent low-grade sequence. It suits you, more than enough. —A fair assessnt from a Grade S Sequence Observer]
So, 5 points in agility unlocked a new talent?
Lu Luo noticed the difference between this sequence and his Grade S Sequence. Firstly, Dexterity lacked a grade enhancent, but it had a direction for progression.
Dexterity 10%—this was indeed a useful passive ability, but its current effect at 10% was not very intimidating.
With 60 points remaining, Lu Luo increased his strength to 2.0 and his constitution to 3.0, then kept 19 points for temporary use.
Strength 2, agility 5, constitution 3. The enhancent of these attribute values brought about an almost qualitative leap in Lu Luo's combat abilities.
Now, facing the chanical shark he had encountered before, even without using the Fusioner's capabilities, he was 70-80% sure he could kill it.
Getting stronger just by looting corpses... what a delightful affair.
Lu Luo prepared to head back to see how the others were getting on with their deliberations.
CRACK!
The sound of glass crunching ca from beneath his feet, probably ordinary items left behind after the devouring process.
[This is a fragnt of a very high-end, dical-grade reagent bottle. This hint should be enough to stir your imagination.]
A very high-end, dical-grade reagent bottle... interesting. The ones funding us are Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Blue Sky Biotech. Even this sumr camp activity was sponsored by Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals. This hint certainly gives a lot to think about. If this incident truly is connected to Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals, does that make us lab rats?
Lu Luo wrapped the reagent bottle fragnt in paper and put it in his pocket.
With the experience from his past life, Lu Luo might not recklessly turn over such evidence anymore, but he would still collect it. This was about potential leverage; it might be useful soday.
