Chapter 289: Chapter 135 Magic Potion Selection

With the timely support of the Doll, Li Yelai and the others successfully executed the formidable Dragon-Devouring Vine.

Despite being a Five Senses Spiritual Ability User, the Doll was renowned as having Captain-Level combat power.

She had overwhelming destructive power against the Dragon-Devouring Vine.

Her sudden arrival brought immense surprise to everyone.

But perhaps it was the natural repulsion of a beautiful girl towards Tentacle Monsters or maybe for some other reason.

In any case, the Doll struck harshly! The sight left all the Processors terrified.

And the death of the Dragon-Devouring Vine was rather tragic.

Its massive body twisted like a pretzel, its internal limb structure torn or burst.

Now lying in shambles on the ground, it looked like a heap of rotten wood to the uninformed.

However, this did provide great convenience for the logistics personnel who rushed over for the cleanup.

Now, more logistics personnel had arrived at the scene, they were cutting the body of the Dragon-Devouring Vine, collecting its Scarlet Tree Liquid, and preparing to transport it back to the division.

Though the Dragon-Devouring Vine was dead, as an Extraordinary Creature and one rarely hunted,

Its Extraordinary Material would be officially dissected and researched.

A portion of it would serve as spoils for the participants, distributed after official processing.

Of course, the participants could also sell the materials to official or comrades for Merit Points.

Meanwhile, everyone also discovered the special effects of the Scarlet Tree Liquid.

According to official speculation, this Dragon-Devouring Vine had likely drawn some Life Force from the Golden Tree, which made it particularly tough.

And that Life Force was contained in the Scarlet Tree Liquid.

Li Yelai and Bai Yang were most vocal about this.

Especially Li Yelai.

Because of where he stood, he was drenched by a great amount of Scarlet Tree Liquid.

Once the tree sap came into contact with his skin, it seeped right in. He felt a surge of intense Life Force flood into his body, his muscles gradually becoming stronger and more powerful under the nourishment of the tree sap.

His skin also became tighter and more elastic due to this powerful Life Force.

Every cell in his body was cheering, excited about this new strength.

His physique was once again enhanced. More agile and swift, his strength and stamina also increased.

Upon reaching a certain limit, Li Yelai’s body temporarily stopped absorbing the Scarlet Tree Liquid.

But as his heartbeat gradually accelerated, he once again heard the voice of "Offer your skull to the throne, Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God."

He vividly felt his heart forcibly absorbing a large amount of Scarlet Tree Liquid.

Like a sponge, greedily devouring the Scarlet Tree Liquid.

Until he again reached the limit.

...

In the room at the farmstead, Li Yelai changed out of his slightly sticky Ming Guang Armor, looking at his unscathed arm.

Previously, there had been wounds scraped by thorns, but after absorbing the Scarlet Tree Liquid, the wounds had healed on their own.

It was still unclear whether this effect was temporary or permanent.

However, what was certain was the enhancement of his physique.

He had previously enhanced himself with the Heart of Slaughter for two hours, his physique was already very powerful.

Now, it had been further strengthened by the tree sap of the Dragon-Devouring Vine.

In terms of physical strength alone, he had already surpassed normal Four Awakenings True Martial Spirit Ability Users.

This Bai Yang could attest, as an official Ark Chosen One, he had also used the Heart of Slaughter and was now similarly enhanced by the Scarlet Tree Liquid. His physical strength increased again, he explicitly stated that Li Yelai’s physical strength was now close to his own.

Compared to the Heart of Slaughter which could cause distortion and loss of control, the enhancement from the Scarlet Tree Liquid had no risks, much safer. Many Processors would be interested, there was no worry it wouldn’t sell.

"This time it’s a big win, although it was a bit troublesome, but with so much Scarlet Tree Liquid, plus some Extraordinary Material from the Dragon-Devouring Vine, I should be able to exchange for quite a few Merit Points. Or perhaps, I could take some to the ark for trade, maybe even exchange for a formula or other materials." Li Yelai looked at the three big buckets in front of him, feeling somewhat pleased.

This was the Scarlet Tree Liquid that Li Yelai had received from the logistics personnel, deducted from his share of the spoils.

He indeed couldn’t absorb any more Scarlet Tree Liquid himself, but he could take it back for his friends and family to use.

He could also try trading on the ark.

Compared to other Ark Chosen Ones, Li Yelai had few items for trade, but now he had some capital.

Li Yelai was thinking this when he heard the door being gently pushed open, and a sign poked through the gap.

[Xiao Ye, have you changed clothes yet?(#／.＼#)]

Li Yelai opened the door, and the Frog Doll stood prettily at the entrance.

"Did you absorb the Scarlet Tree Liquid?" Li Yelai asked.

[Yes, I got quite a bit of tree sap too, already absorbed it, my body has gotten strongerᕦ(･ㅂ･)ᕤ]

Words emerged on the sign, and the Doll even raised her fists, seemingly to show off her muscles.

Li Yelai was amused by her cute actions.

Then, out of curiosity, he asked, "If you hadn’t arrived in time, we might not have defeated the Dragon-Devouring Vine. But how did you come to support so quickly? Weren’t you resting at home?"

Li Yelai knew well that without the Doll’s arrival, their mission would have surely failed.

The Doll should have been resting in the division apartment, she had been deployed multiple times these past days, and even at meals, she could hardly hide her fatigue. At this time, she should have been resting at home. And the division was three hours’ drive away, how could she come to support so quickly?

Faced with Li Yelai’s confusion.
