"It's a sand ghost, it really is a sand ghost."

"Isn't this the person that Old Man Gu Yan rescued? He's so powerful..."

Lu Chengchuan returned to the village at dawn. The moment he entered, the villagers were stunned to see him dragging a monster back.

After walking all night, even with the help of his mind power, he still felt a little tired.

Fortunately, when he killed the monster, he gained twelve years of life, which is equivalent to a level three monster. Although the system does not display the name of the monster, the life span was actually obtained.

You can also gain lifespan here, which is a consolation.

"It's really Brother Lu, he...he is so amazing."

Raya saw the huge monster, a horrible monster that was deader than dead. She knew this monster as the Sand Ghost.

They are terrifying predators in the desert. Her grandfather once told her that all the people in their village combined cannot defeat a sand ghost, so they have to be careful to avoid encountering monsters every time they go to Sandstone Town.

The noise attracted more than a hundred people in the village. Everyone watched from the side and no one dared to get close.

Gu Yan and Laya ran up, and they were both stunned. The old man really didn't expect that the other party could really bring back prey, and the identity of the prey was not simple.

The village chief and several managers also came over. Seeing this fresh sand ghost without any wounds, they were more shocked than anyone else.

As super-powered beings, they knew better than the villagers how powerful an adult sand ghost was.

"Did you kill him?" Gu Yan came up. He still didn't believe that it was Lu Chengchuan who killed him.

A few months ago, Lu Chengchuan was lying in the desert with no one paying attention to him. After he was rescued, he was weak for a long time. Even during these months, he did not show any extraordinary power.

Lu Chengchuan pulled the beast's corpse to the old man's room and said, "Of course, it couldn't have been given by someone else."

"This is a gift from me to you. It has quite a bit of meat on it, so it should be enough to last you for a while."

"This... is too expensive."

Gu Yan looked at the huge monster. He had lived for almost seventy years and had never obtained such a valuable thing. It was rare to see an intact sand ghost in Shayan Town.

"You saved my life, so I have to repay you. This thing is not expensive to me, so please accept it."

As long as he wanted, he could hunt this monster anytime, and it would not be difficult for him.

"this..."

Looking at Lu Chengchuan who looked serious, and then glancing at the nearby villagers, the old man nodded vigorously: "Everyone come here, let's divide the meat!"

It was also the first time for the old man to eat sand ghost meat, and his dark face was full of excitement. He did not want to enjoy it alone, but chose to share the meat with all the villagers.

When everyone heard that they could also get a share of the meat, they rushed over excitedly.

"Everyone calm down, don't rush in one by one!"

Everyone was very enthusiastic, and a guard came over with a knife to help. They turned the sand ghost over and began to dissect it from its softest part, the abdomen.

But even so, it took them more than ten minutes to cut a hole in the sand ghost's abdomen.

Lu Chengchuan had no way to deal with this. He had no internal energy and could not help even if he wanted to.

After cutting for more than an hour, the abdomen was finally cut open. The old man reached in and dug around for a while before pulling out a round, ochre-colored crystal from the sand ghost's abdomen.

The crystal was not tainted by filth. The moment it appeared, everyone present stared at the crystal.

Lu Chengchuan felt energy on the crystal, very pure energy.

The old man looked at it for a while, then turned and came to Lu Chengchuan and handed the crystal in his hand to Lu Chengchuan.

"This is the crystallization of its energy. Keep it."

The village chief and his companions looked at the crystal. This was the most valuable thing on the sand ghost. This crystal alone could buy food that was several times heavier than the sand ghost.

Lu Chengchuan accepted the crystal, he felt that it would be useful to him.

He took the crystals and the rest of the people continued to divide the meat.

The villagers worked until night, dividing the sand ghost's huge body into hundreds of large and small pieces. Apart from bones, hard scales and internal organs, the sand ghost still had more than ten tons of edible meat left.

This is definitely good news for the villagers. They have just paid taxes and have very little food left at home. Now each family can get several hundred kilograms of meat, so they won't have to worry about food for a short time.

"Your Excellency, we didn't treat you well before. I hope you can forgive our stupidity."

When the villagers were happily dividing the meat, the village chief brought a few administrators to the hut where Lu Chengchuan lived. They were a little panicked at the moment, and more of them were afraid.

They never imagined that Guge was just being kind and picked up someone randomly outside, but the guy who couldn't even speak was actually a strong man, which made them feel terrified.

They had looked at the sand ghost's body and found no external injuries. The monster did not struggle from beginning to end.

Normally, a gold-level warrior would have to struggle a lot to fight against the sand ghost. The strength of this mysterious man is absolutely unfathomable.

"Don't be like this. I've fallen on hard times and you've taken me in. Don't worry about these things. I might have to live here for a while, and then I'll have to trouble you again."

Lu Chengchuan didn't care about these things. Judging from the way he was a few months ago, it was good enough that the village chief let him stay here.

"It's our honor to have you here."

The village chief immediately welcomed him, then took one look at the house and said, "Why don't you move to a bigger house? This one is a bit small and doesn't suit your status."

This house is too small and was in a terrible state before, but it has been renovated now.

"No, it doesn't matter where I live."

Lu Chengchuan shook his head. He had no need for a place to live. He just wanted to find a way to restore his strength and return to Earth. Everything else was not important.

He didn't need these, and the village chief and his companions didn't dare to force him. After a few words, they went back outside.

At the door of Guyan's house, people were distributing the meat, and they also went up to take several hundred kilograms of meat.

As a gold-level monster, the flesh and blood of the Sand Ghost contains enormous energy. Although it is not as powerful as the core crystal, it is also a supplement that is difficult for them to obtain.

It was a sleepless night in the village tonight, and the villagers who received the meat were busy processing it.

Hundreds of kilograms of meat cannot be eaten in a short period of time, so they need to give the meat special treatment so that it can be preserved for a long time.

The busy night did not disturb Lu Chengchuan. At this moment, he was holding the monster crystal in his hand, and the energy in the crystal was quickly absorbed into his body.

The moment the crystallized energy entered the body, a weak trace of internal energy was born in the dry dantian.

Lu Chengchuan showed joy on his face, but soon, all the energy in the monster crystal was absorbed by him, and this energy could also allow him to generate a trace of internal energy.

"This... we still need to find the crystal."

Lu Chengchuan wasn't discouraged. His internal energy hadn't recovered at all in the past few months, but now he had found a way to restore it. As long as he continued to acquire monster crystals, his strength would eventually recover.
