Apocalypse Descends: I Win Effortlessly by Turning Trash into Treasure
Chapter 209: Cave Survival 19Seeing this, Perry Yates immediately used Identification on the peculiar tiger before her.
[Cerberan Tiger
A being even more powerful and savage than a Cerberus. They delight in tearing their prey limb from limb while it’s still alive.
Once a Cerberan Tiger has grown all three heads, it is considered an adult. After reaching adulthood, the relationship between the three heads becomes extremely hostile. However, before all heads have fully grown, the existing heads will do everything in their power to protect the undeveloped one.]
Having read this, Perry Yates shouted to Dylan Adler, "Attack the head in the middle!"
The Cerberan Tiger, which had been glaring menacingly at Dylan Adler, heard Perry Yates’s voice and its two heads snapped toward her. A savage light glinted in their vertical, golden pupils, as if they would tear her to shreds in the next second.
Seeing this, Perry Yates didn’t hesitate. She immediately tossed the card for the Spiritual Ability Gun to Dylan Adler.
Although she could have acted herself, she was too far from the Cerberan Tiger. Besides, the two fully grown heads were protecting the undeveloped one between them. If it weren’t for Perry Yates’s keen eyesight, most people would never have even noticed it.
Therefore, to ensure a one-hit kill, Perry Yates decisively handed the difficult task over to Dylan Adler.
Catching the card, Dylan Adler was shocked to see it was a four-star item card, but he knew this was not the time to be stunned.
He activated the Spiritual Ability Gun, aimed it at the spot between the Cerberan Tiger’s two heads, and decisively pulled the trigger.
A beam of blue light shot out and struck its target. A sound like something shattering rang out, immediately followed by a spray of blood.
Agonized and desperate shrieks then erupted from the mouths of the Cerberan Tiger’s two heads.
The head that Dylan Adler had shattered was now like a broken pipe, blood gushing out of it nonstop, impossible to staunch.
With such a massive loss of blood, the Cerberan Tiger quickly lost its ability to fight back before finally ceasing to breathe.
Upon the Cerberan Tiger’s death, a card glowing with a purple light appeared above its corpse.
"A two-star card!" Perry Yates’s tone was a mixture of shock and delight as she trotted over, her face full of eagerness.
When she got a clear look at the two-star card, her tone became even more delighted. "It’s a Skill Card, too! And it has three attributes!"
To be honest, aside from the first card she had ever fused, this was the first time Perry Yates had seen a naturally three-attribute card—system rewards excluded, of course.
The front of the card depicted a ferocious, three-headed golden tiger. Even though it was just a card, Perry Yates could still feel the majesty of the Tiger King emanating from it.
She looked at the attributes: Gold Attribute, Thunder Attribute, and Fire Attribute.
’What a pity. None of them are compatible with me.’
Perry Yates felt a brief pang of regret, then turned to look at Dylan Adler. ’I hope my performance just now didn’t have any flaws.’
Perry Yates didn’t touch the card. Instead, she looked at Dylan Adler behind her, seeming to wait for him to speak first.
It was just a two-star card with three attributes; Perry Yates wasn’t particularly bothered. What she truly valued was the corpse of the Cerberan Tiger on the ground.
However, if she were to speak up now, it would easily arouse Dylan Adler’s suspicion. After all, when choosing between a card and a corpse, even a five-year-old knew to pick the card.
Even though Dylan Adler was the one who killed the Cerberan Tiger, Perry Yates had been the one to point out its weakness. She had even provided the item used to kill it. When it came to credit, the two of them were evenly matched at best.
Perry Yates reached out her hand, and the Spiritual Ability Gun transformed back into a card and returned to her grasp.
Staring at his now-empty right hand, Dylan Adler felt a sense of loss and disappointment.
Even as one of the very first players and the captain of the Survival Game Administration’s First Squad, Dylan Adler still didn’t own a single four-star item.
After all, such items were simply too rare.
Before The Card Tavern appeared, you could count the number of four-star items on all of Cerulea on one hand. After The Card Tavern was established, the price of four-star items was still far beyond what most people could afford.
Shaking off his disappointment, Dylan Adler took a deep breath. He walked over to Perry Yates, glanced at the card floating in mid-air, then at the lifeless Cerberan Tiger on the ground, and asked, "What do you want?"
Perry Yates was surprised to hear him say that. ’He’s actually letting me choose first.’
Perry Yates feigned indecision, looking from the card to the Cerberan Tiger’s corpse on the ground, and finally to Dylan Adler. After a long moment, she said, "The attributes on this card don’t match mine. I guess I’ll just take the Cerberan Tiger’s corpse."
At that moment, Perry Yates was thankful it was a two-star card and not a three-star one. ’The value of the Cerberan Tiger’s corpse might be comparable to a two-star card, but it definitely wouldn’t measure up to a three-star card.’
Hearing this, Dylan Adler nodded and reached out to take the two-star, three-attribute card.
Because of what had just happened, Dylan Adler didn’t continue digging. Instead, he found a spot to rest.
「The twenty-third day of the game.」
First thing in the morning, Perry Yates took out a set of tools from her Space Backpack, ready to get to work on the Cerberan Tiger.
’Might as well,’ Perry Yates decided. ’I’ll just butcher the Cerberan Tiger here and save myself the trouble later.’
’A tiger’s body is a treasure trove, after all.’
After Identification, parts like the tiger bones, tiger penis, tiger gallbladder, and tiger blood all proved to have extremely high medicinal value.
Perry Yates gathered these items, thinking they would be perfect to take back and use for making medicinal wine— ’No, wait, to sell to the owner of The Card Tavern.’
After learning of Perry Yates’s intentions, Dylan Adler was silent for a moment before saying, "Can you leave some for me?"
"Of course. What do you want? The bones, gallbladder, blood, fangs, fat, or the penis?"
Perry Yates rattled off a long list, then looked at Dylan Adler, awaiting his answer.
"A little of everything. And I’ll take the entire penis," Dylan Adler said.
"No problem. I’ll give it to you when we get back." As she spoke, Perry Yates continued with her work, muttering as she moved, "It’s a shame we wasted so much of its blood earlier."
’Given how much the Cerberan Tiger bled yesterday, that must have been tens of liters. All of it just spilled on the ground and wasted. A pity, such a pity.’
