Chapter 885: Chapter 586: Return Fully Laden_2
Crack!
The force of space collapsing in the passageway directly severed the skeletal hand, causing it to fall to the ground and lose vitality.
"???" x2
[...]
The situation left the others puzzled.
"That was close..."
The Six-winged Angel wiped his forehead at this moment.
They now realized that this fellow’s voice and figure were somewhat familiar, with the key point being a bit limp.
"Li Pu, is that you?"
Jay was incredulous.
"Hmm."
Li Pu turned his face to look at everyone.
His skin was pale blue and adorned with strange rune-like patterns, his eyes yellow with slit pupils.
The grass under his feet was slowly withering away, as if its life force was being sucked dry.
[This aura...]
The Turtle Spirit sensed the cocoon’s aura, in three strands.
It seemed this Six-winged Angel was indeed Li Pu, and he had completed his mission.
"How did you become like this?"
"What was chasing you earlier?"
"Did something happen between you two?"
Bie San unleashed a three-in-one barrage of questions.
"..."
Facing the questions, Li Pu pondered for a moment.
"It’s a long story."
"So let’s leave it at that."
He walked directly to the severed skeletal hand, scrutinizing it and said, "Profit."
However, he didn’t immediately pick it up but instead let Caocao set it ablaze heavily.
Then he stomped on it forcefully a few times.
[Aga!]
The severed skeletal hand let out a miserable cry, and a cloud of black smoke emerged.
"I knew it, this sneaky guy actually dared to plot against me."
[...]
The Turtle Spirit initially intended to remind him, but didn’t expect this guy to be so alert.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Pu consulted the three on-site regarding what kind of entity he had provoked.
Regrettably, even the Turtle Spirit couldn’t recognize what specific entity this was. Based on its description, it could only deduce that it might be the skeletal remains of a powerful creature that developed intelligence in the purgatory.
Yet now, it was skilled in Soul Technique, helping Li Pu with a thorough re-check to ensure no residual thoughts remained.
After receiving confirmation, Li Pu finally picked it up and placed it in his storage space.
All in all, this trip was relatively smooth.
He collected enough aura fragments and finally assembled the S-class artifact, the Fallen Heaven Stone.
Only that he provoked a powerful boss from whom he could barely escape, adding a bit of thrill.
But managing to snag even a piece of its arm was quite worthwhile.
With this Fallen Heaven Stone, even if the contract with the cocoon fails, it’s still a win-win.
[Caocao! Caocao Caocao!]
At this moment, Caocao actively approached Li Pu to claim credit.
"Oh?"
Li Pu was surprised that this fellow harvested a lot as well.
Firstly, the pile of fish bones on the ground; about a third could be assembled into complete related items.
The specific skills within could be reviewed slowly after they get out.
This time was truly an abundant harvest of related items, not counting those on Caocao’s side. On his side alone, he picked up an overwhelmingly large number of related items within 20 days.
The quantity was close to 300 pieces, although they were all F-class Malice Barriers.
He suspected that the purgatory might be divided into many layers or regions; otherwise, it couldn’t be explained why all the monsters he encountered were F-class trash beasts.
As for the two other items Caocao obtained, the half-dragon fish bones and Golden Fish Spear.
Through the Turtle Spirit’s introduction, Li Pu learned about the use of half-dragon fish bones.
That is, it can be made into a rather decent artifact or used as reincarnation material for dragon-type summoned beasts.
However, Li Pu felt that at A+ class, the ugly little wolf’s rank might mean this item could only serve as good auxiliary material, and not be qualified as main material. Better to hold onto it for later.
And that fish spear, though not as good as the Fallen Heaven Stone, was a very nice artifact.
[Jiao King’s Spear(A)]
Attached effect: Grants water control ability
Stat requirement: 1~10 Water
Type requirement: None
Race requirement: Merfolk
It was unexpected that its function was not for weapon combat, but to bestow abilities similar to Magic.
As everyone was watching, Li Pu temporarily couldn’t fit or activate it himself.
Keeping it should be usable by the cocoon even if not by him.
[Since you too have returned safely, everything is ready]
The Turtle Spirit was very satisfied upon sensing the abundant cocoon aura on Li Pu.
Next, Jay needed to continue building the boundary array while it got ready to refine the aura within Caocao.
[Little Caocao, brace yourself]
So the Turtle Spirit took Caocao and Li Pu aside.
[Caocao! Caocao Caocao!]
[Caocao Caocao!]
Soon, Caocao’s scream echoed.
When they returned, the cocoon aura on Li Pu became much more substantial.
Caocao was gulps of cola to calm himself.
"Senior, I’ve finished the setup."
Continuous high-intensity work had exhausted Jay, causing him to sit on the ground leaning against a big stone.
[Thanks for your hard work, take a good rest]
However, Jay was reluctant to close his eyes, knowing the next moment would be witnessing whether Li Pu could contract with the cocoon.
Compared to 20 days ago, the cocoon aura was much more lively, he judged this might indicate its awakening was near.
[The contract material is with Bie San]
[Next you just need to stand on the array and follow the normal contract steps]
As the cocoon had no consciousness now, contracting was actually very easy.
As long as Li Pu’s Spiritual Power met the standard, it should take no time.
"Whew..."
Slightly anxious, he took a deep breath.
All the preparation beforehand was for this very moment.
First, the Stone of Human Demon was already equipped, then he summoned Bub.
[Eat eat eat~]
Bub, long accustomed, bounced over and transformed into a light that entered his body as soon as contact was made.
"A familiar feeling."
Wearing the kangaroo cap, Li Pu looked around, and noticed that everyone’s heads had turned carrot-shaped.
Except for No. 2 and the cocoon.
Merging with Bub didn’t instantly and massively boost personal strength.
So he began to take out energy clusters and consume them.
As he ate to the limit of the innate ability Swallowing Beast, Li Pu’s features were no longer visible as all his seven orifices were filled with blue light.
Even the skin’s underlying layers had blue light flowing, seeming to burst forth at any moment.
"The intensity of his aura is amazing..."
Bie San was stupefied watching on the side.
He felt so tiny compared to the blue light from Li Pu.
[This still isn’t enough...]
But the Turtle Spirit shook its head.
If it was just at this level, even if the boundary array was activated, it probably wouldn’t meet the spiritual power standard of Contract Grade 6.
"Not enough."
Li Pu seemed aware of this.
[Eat... aww... slot!]
Caocao received the command, starting to rub together Fireballs.
Shoosh!
A beam of blue light soared skyward and then descended.
Dropping into Li Pu’s mouth as he looked upwards.
Besides Swallowing Beast, in this state he had another enhancement skill obtained from the Fire God, S-class Fire Swallowing.
Although the skill mainly boosted explosive power, it did offer some spiritual power enhancement too.
"Mm..."
The blue fire entering his belly was unpleasant for Li Pu.
Unlike before with the Fire God’s berserk flames, Caocao’s blue fire had a sticky and hard-to-extinguish nature.
Now it was scorching his inner organs, quite distressing.
[Hrok blub!]
Boom!
The long-standing ready ugly little wolf struck with lightning.
The electricity’s nourishment promptly repaired his damaged internal organs.
"Continue, more."
[Eat slot eat slot eat slot!]
[Hrok hrok!][Holy healing holy healing holy healing!]
Caocao kept launching blue fire, with the ugly little wolf and No. 2 jointly healing Li Pu.
Swallowing a load of blue fire, the fresh burns swiftly got healed and repaired.
For a while, blue light, blue fire, lightning, and Holy Healing Art washed over him in a chaos of effects.
"This this this..." x2
Jay and Bie San were dumbstruck.
