Li Yu, who was about to step forward to help, was taken aback. It seemed that Fu Xiyao's strength had indeed increased a lot after this transformation.

"Where are we going?" Fu Xiyao asked, turning her head as she carried the package.

Li Yu discerned the general direction:

"Southeast, where to? I remember there are more bodies of water and fewer refugees there. Let's eat and then go back."

Li Yu dared not carry this thing back like she had carried the snake yesterday.

Yesterday's meal was plentiful, but not enough to make anyone work themselves to death.

This creature looks extraordinary today, and among so many scavengers, it's inevitable that someone would recognize it.

If this arouses the greed of the refugee community, even if they are given a hundred arrows, they will definitely be robbed.

After walking for more than half an hour, Li Yu and Fu Xiyao arrived at a hillside. The surroundings were extremely quiet, with no signs of human activity.

"This will do," Li Yu said.

The two set up a waterproof tarpaulin as a temporary campsite.

Upon opening the package and seeing the meat of the unknown creature before him, Li Yu immediately began to process it with great care.

He casually cut off a piece of flesh from the creature's thigh and handed it to Fu Xiyao.

Li Yu looked at Fu Xiyao seriously and said, "We need to finish eating quickly, okay? Eat up."

Fu Xiyao touched her stomach. Although she hadn't eaten much today, the energy from the blue blood made her feel no hunger.

Fu Xiyao looked up, seemingly wanting to say she wasn't hungry, but Li Yu shoved the meat into her mouth.

She could only chew helplessly; this was the first time in her life she had ever been troubled by eating meat.

Li Yu then ate a piece, and it was indeed very different.

The meat is extremely delicious and has no bloody taste whatsoever.

The meat is completely different from any other animal I've ever eaten; it's delicious even when eaten raw.

"Eat up!" Li Yu urged, and continued to eat heartily.

"Ugh, ugh~" Fu Xiyao's mouth was stuffed full, and she could only nod and make humming sounds in response. She really couldn't eat anymore.

Just as Li Yu was about to deal with the creature's internal organs, his hand touched several hard objects in the creature's abdomen.

Li Yu cut open the creature's abdomen, took the several hard, stone-like objects in his hands, and examined them carefully.

These stones are crystal clear and emit a pale blue light, like legendary gemstones.

Upon closer inspection, one can sense the familiar energy fluctuations contained within the gemstone.

Li Yu held the gemstone in her hand and tried to activate the vortex within her body to absorb the energy from the gemstone.

As Li Yu activated it, a wisp of energy from the gemstone was drawn into the cyclone.

In an instant, the cyclone, which should have been spinning faster and faster, suddenly started spinning very slowly.

Even with Li Yu's frantic efforts, it was like a gear without lubrication, turning slowly as if it couldn't be turned no matter how hard he tried.

"What happened?"

Upon seeing this, Li Yu immediately checked his experience points, and fortunately, the conversion rate of experience was still fast.
