Chapter 20 [Plunder] Talent Shows its Power, Transformation
After defeating the demon, the city's demon-hunting team, seeing that it was already late at night, contacted the police to dispose of the body.
As for Ling Tianyu's application to join the team, there was naturally no problem. With his proficient plant magic and composure in the face of demons, his strength was comparable to that of a veteran hunter with over ten years of experience. Even Cai Tang, who was always arrogant, had no objections.
Not long after the demon-hunting team left, Ling Tianyu returned. Don't forget, he hadn't yet investigated why the vines harbored such an unusual craving for the flesh and blood of the one-eyed demon wolf.
"Vines grow!"
Ling Tianyu summoned a verdant vine, which coiled around the one-eyed demon wolf's corpse like a python.
"Look how excited you are, it's like you can eat meat..."
The moment the demonic vine touched the demon's corpse, it was as if it had encountered the most delicious delicacy. A mysterious crimson power from the demon wolf's corpse was absorbed by the demonic vine and flowed continuously into Ling Tianyu's body along the vine's path.
This power originates from the flesh and blood of the demon wolf; let's call it the power of blood and qi.
"What... kind of power is this?"
Ling Tianyu was surrounded by crimson light and shadow, and his blood and qi faintly condensed into the phantom of a demonic wolf, with a faint roar coming from it.
"I feel my body strength increasing!"
Ling Tianyu closed his eyes, his pores opened, and his blood and qi surged wildly into his body, seeping into his meridians and spreading to all parts of his body along the intersecting channels.
His Qi and blood were brimming, his blood boiling. As the Qi and blood first entered his body, he felt a warm current enveloping him, like the warm sun or a mother's caress. It nourished his meridians, making his muscle tissue stronger.
This feeling did not last long; soon his body's absorption of the energy of qi and blood reached saturation.
But the transformation is far from over.
Sting!
Ling Tianyu hadn't recovered from his comfort when he was struck hard. If his previous energy was as soft and warm as cotton, now it felt like a cold, sharp knife piercing his flesh. The sudden pain stimulated his nerves, and his vision went black, almost causing him to faint.
Human mages are physically inferior to demons, and their magical attacks are also at a disadvantage against the magic of demons of the same level. In a comparison of combat strength at the same level, the human side is clearly at a disadvantage.
The current power of blood and qi is undoubtedly the best way to make up for this disadvantage. If one can break through the physical realm, one will no longer be timid and hesitant when facing demons of the same level.
Other fragile mages would be seriously injured if they were even slightly scratched by the demon's claws, and it would be considered lucky if they could survive. But for the demon, such an injury would be insignificant. The difference in skill level is obvious.
At this moment, the vital energy comes from the one-eyed demon wolf, whose strength is close to the servant advancement stage. Although the energy has dissipated due to the long time since death and other reasons, and the physical body's vital energy has been somewhat depleted, if it is fully absorbed, it will still be enough to reach a physical body comparable to a servant demon.
Clenching his fists, holding his breath, he endured the burning pain in his body.
The power of his Qi and blood caused every muscle and even every cell to evolve, transforming his physical condition from that of an ordinary human to that of a demon comparable to a slave. This was a leap in his life level, and the pain he experienced was certainly beyond what ordinary people could endure.
…………
After an unknown amount of time, the excruciating pain subsided like a receding tide, and Ling Tianyu felt completely refreshed. The biting cold wind, sharp as a knife, pounced on Ling Tianyu's incredibly hot body, but it did not stir up the slightest ripple.
"It's finally over!" The short ten minutes felt like an eternity to Ling Tianyu. Heaven knows how he endured that inhuman pain.
At the same moment that Ling Tianyu broke through to the physical realm, the corpse of the one-eyed demon wolf also completely exhausted its last bit of energy, withering at a visible speed, and finally leaving only tattered wolf skins scattered on the ground.
The precious parts of the one-eyed demon wolf's corpse, such as its strange bones, had already been completely looted by the demon-hunting team. The remaining flesh and blood were inedible and could only be burned in the past. Now, it was being used to help Ling Tianyu break through his breakthrough.
"I never expected my physical abilities to improve like this!" Ling Tianyu thought to himself with secret joy.
"Vines grow!"
Ling Tianyu summoned the Demon Vine, and a Demon Vine flew out from his palm, wrapping around the maple tree in front of him. Life absorption was automatically activated, and the leaves turned yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Click!"
With a sharp crack, a tree in front of Ling Tianyu, as thick as a person's embrace, was snapped in half, leaving only jagged, jagged cracks.
Big Tree: What did I, XX, do to deserve this?
Clearly, Ling Tianyu's attention wasn't on that. He noticed the faint crimson beneath the green vines, a color so light it was almost invisible unless you looked closely. He then looked up at the chasm that had severed the vines in half, his heart filled with horror.
"This...this power probably wouldn't be good for demons either!"
Thinking this, Ling Tianyu casually picked up the vine, which was about the thickness of a bowl, and pulled it with all his might, but the vine did not budge.
Keep in mind that his current physical abilities are comparable to those of a demon servant, yet even with that kind of strength, he couldn't break a mere level one vine...
Based on the current situation, it can be inferred that the Demon Vine absorbed the power of blood and qi, resulting in a certain degree of mutation, and changes in its strength, toughness, and other properties.
This is the right way to use the [Plunder] talent!
While Ling Tianyu was overjoyed, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. This strange talent was no different from the evil magic of the Black Church in the eyes of others, so it was best to keep it hidden.
Of course, there is also good news: the color of the vines can actually change according to his thoughts, which means he doesn't have to worry about the color of the vines attracting attention.
"Looks like I'll have to kill more demons in the future!" Ling Tianyu thought to himself. The flesh and blood of demons, which others considered worthless, were like a magic pill to him, an excellent tonic.
From this perspective, the souls of demons can condense into essences, strange bones can be used to make magical tools, and even flesh and blood can be absorbed and enhanced by him. In fact, he has squeezed the value of demons to the last drop.
As for how the police will explain it later, hehe, the best thing to do is to run away and let them guess!
