Yue Zhong continually hacked and cut using the Dark Magic Blade, before finally managing to retrieve the eyeball; he released a load of bloody meat in the process and the unpleasant smell of blood filled his nostrils.
He hesitated for a while, but the desire to obtain any possible nucleus or blood essence won over his disgust towards the stench. He began making cuts into the flesh of the Mutant Boar, and burrowed within its head.
After 20 minutes, with his whole body covered in specks of red and white mucus, Yue Zhong stepped out of the body, holding a black shiny nucleus the size of a fist and a red blood essence the size of 2 fingers.
Upon emerging from the body of the dead Mutant Boar, he immediately jumped into a small creek beside the body to enjoy a cold bath, washing off the grime and blood on him.
White Bones suddenly shot out a Bone Spear into the the body of the Mutant Boar through the eye socket until it reached the skull and activated its [Bone Manipulation Skill], continuously absorbing the bone essence of the Mutant Boar.
Yue Zhong only took a look at White Bones and retrieved various barbeque equipment and condiments from his storage ring. Then he directly started roasting a chunk of meat from the dead Boar.
The scales of the Mutant Boar were extremely tough and the same applied to about 10cm of the meat that was under the scales, yet the flesh further deeper was soft and fresh, with a certain tenderness and chewiness. After roasting, the flavour was beyond comparison and Yue Zhong wolfed down 3 bites.
[Congratulations, you have gained 1 point in Endurance!]
When Yue Zhong had just eaten the 3rd chunk of meat, the pleasant sound of a notification resounded.
Hearing the sound, Yue Zhong became distracted and a thought flashed in his mind, “Don’t tell me that eating the meat of advanced types of mutated beasts can grant enhancements?”
Before this, Yue Zhong had eaten the meat of the mutated beasts many times, yet did not gain any enhancement. Becoming stronger from the meat of an advanced type was also a first for him.
After he heard the notification, he immediately took great bites, making short work of 7 – 8 chunks of meat, yet there were no further notifications.
However, even though there were no enhancements, he felt that his stamina and spirit seemed to be recovering faster after eating the meat.
“What a treasure!” After finishing his meal, Yue Zhong looked at the Mutant Boar the size of a house and his eyes flashed with greed.
The Mutant Boar had a few hundred tons of meat on it and even the bones could be used to construct weapons; its scales were also an excellent source of defensive material. Unfortunately, Yue Zhong’s storage ring did not possess enough space to keep the entire Mutant Boar inside.
Yue Zhong retracted his gaze from the Mutant Boar’s carcass and retrieved the red blood essence, swallowing it. The moment it entered his abdomen, it became a billowing heat and started surging throughout his body, nourishing every single cell in his body.
[Congratulations, you have gained 15 points in Vitality and 10 points in Endurance!]
The Blood Essence of the Mutant Boar was really extraordinary: after consuming it, Yue Zhong had actually gained 25 points of enhancement in total, greatly strengthening his physique.
Yue Zhong erected a tent by the creek and after placing some traps around the tent, he entered it and immediately fell into a deep sleep. He needed to rest properly for the wound on his chest and the broken rib caused by the last desperate hit of the Mutant Boar to both heal.
On the morning of the second day, Yue Zhong awoke; his broken rib had completely restored with the help of his immense vitality and the medicinal pills taken prior. Since he had recovered, he immediately pulled out his Dark Magic Sword and proceeded to use his entire strength to start peeling the scales from around the eyes.
Although the Dark Magic Blade could not cut the scales on the Mutant Boar, with Yue Zhong’s recovered energy and strength 5 times that of normal humans, he could actually peel the scales slowly, it just required an astonishing amount of physical energy.
