Using the light from the fluorescent fruit, Liu Nian sat beside a campfire made of rocks. Luckily, he had a lighter with him, otherwise he wouldn't have known how to start a fire by friction.
Using the sturdy stems of two fluorescent grasses as a frame, the bat's fleshy wings were placed over the campfire. As the firelight licked at them, the oil gradually seeped out, falling into the fire pit with a crackling sound. Mixed with the grassy and pine scent of the fluorescent grass stems, the gradually maturing fleshy wings emitted an enticing meaty aroma.
Liu Nian greedily inhaled the mixed aroma, and immediately felt a surge of appetite. He took out the dry food he had brought from his travel bag and placed it around the kang (heated brick bed) to heat it up.
While waiting for his food, he examined the stack of cards in his hand; all the rewards from the final battle were contained here.
The materials are divided into tentacle skin, spider glands, and spider silk.
Liu Nian had encountered spider glands and spider silk before, so I won't go into details here.
This was the first time I'd ever seen tentacle skin. It consisted of pieces of purple fur of varying sizes, sourced from the tentacles of the abyss. However, all the barbs on their bodies had been removed, leaving only these slightly rough fur pieces.
The note said that this kind of fur is very waterproof and can be used to make waterproof clothing. Liu Nian is not a tailor or leather professional, so she doesn't know if it's true or not.
Set these material cards aside, the abyssal tentacles also dropped some spiked one-handed clubs called tentacle clubs, which resembled small maces.
The entire purple shaft is covered with barbs, with only a small space on one side of the handguard providing a grip.
Liu Nian looked through the cards and found that the drop rate of the tentacle stick was just as rare as that of the tentacle skin.
The tentacle stick is a level 30 blue weapon with an attack power of 25-55. Unfortunately, it doesn't match Liu Nian's class, so it couldn't escape being dismantled.
Spiders and tentacles mostly drop monster meat, which is a food item. The notes specifically state that eating too much of this meat will cause poisoning, reduce sanity, and even drive you insane. It needs to be used in combination with other meats.
Looking at the hairy purple chunks of meat on the card, Liu Nian had no interest in eating them, wondering where they came from.
As Liu Nian continued reading, she was surprised to find two recipes mixed in with the contents.
[Recipe: Bacon and Eggs]
Required ingredients: 2 pieces of meat, 2 pieces of eggs
Effect: After spending thirty seconds fully consuming this food, you will slowly recover 75 health points and 75 satiety points. It will also additionally increase your strength and constitution by two points each. This effect lasts for thirty minutes. (Only one food effect can be active at a time.)
Note: Using a pot as an ingredient... Are you serious? — From a heartbroken chef!
Recipe: Polish Dumplings
Required ingredients: 1 piece of meat, 1 piece of egg, 1 piece of vegetable, and 1 piece of other filler.
Effect: After you spend 30 seconds fully consuming this food, you will slowly recover 350 health points and 50 satiety points. It will also additionally increase your health by 50 points and defense by 5 points. (Only one food effect can be active at a time.)
Note: A must-have food for the Shield Guards.
Of course, one thing to note is that if you are interrupted or actively interrupted during the 30 seconds of eating, the food effect will not be triggered.
Liu Nian promptly learned from the two good recipes.
Without a pot or any egg-shaped cards, he could only suppress his urge to experiment and continue examining the remaining cards.
As for foods made with regular eggs or other eggs that are not food ingredients, not only will the satiety provided be reduced, but they will also not have any additional food effects, so it is not worth the effort.
After that, there were no more ingredient cards, no more material cards, no more recipes or other formulas, and I didn't actually have many cards left.
[Spider Hat] (Purple Card/Helmet/Leather Armor)
Defense: 10-12
Magic Defense: 12-16
Durability: 100/100 (Irreparable)
Level required: 32
Effect: Once actively worn and used, spider-like creatures in the vicinity will no longer be hostile to you!
Effect: When using this effect, your mana will slowly decrease until the duration ends.
Effect: When wearing this helmet, enemy units within ten yards will trigger a morale check when they actively or passively enter the area (this effect does not apply to enemy units already within ten yards).
Functional helmets require the helmet to be worn to function, which greatly reduces their effectiveness, not to mention the irreparable side effects.
However, this effect is quite interesting. Liu Nian smiled slightly as he looked at the card in his hand.
Liu Nian has now reviewed all the Spider Queen's drops, and all he has left are the Crocodile's drop cards.
The lone card makes the guardian seem exceptionally worthless.
[Wild Lizard Tail Vertebrae] (Blue Equipment/Off-hand)
Effect: All resistances +7
Note: The undigested bone of a poor creature that was swallowed by a sewer crocodile!
After reading this note, I have even less intention of using it; even if I were to materialize it, I would only be able to decompose it immediately.
To make room for his backpack, Liu Nian didn't choose to materialize it now, since the disassembled materials would take up a lot of space anyway.
However, it wasn't entirely without a solution. Looking at the large pile of crowns in front of him, Liu Nian summoned the Skeleton Chariot, then threw the bag of crowns onto the back seat and canceled the summoning.
Anyway, the crocodile's corpse is still in the space, and can be used anytime to summon its spirit.
However, as a guardian, the crocodile can only summon the Black Warrior. After thinking for a while, Liu Nian decided to just use it as food. Now, due to the limited number of Black Warriors, they have been relegated to the second line of duty.
These gains slightly alleviated the negative emotions brought about by the surrounding darkness. He ate the dry rations in his hand with the sizzling, oily bat wings, and when he felt full, he put down the food with satisfaction.
He then summoned all the ravens back, and now a level 20 ravens summoning system can provide Liu Nian with 20 ravens.
Liu Nian tied the trampled and collapsed fluorescent fruits to the raven's body so that they would become mobile light sources.
The remaining fluorescent grass stalks can be used as spare torches, although they are not as effective as torches soaked in oil, but they are better than nothing.
Now that Liu Nian has cleared out all the monsters in the swamp, he can safely collect fluorescent fruits in this area. Knowing that he can't just pick any fluorescent grass he can get his hands on, he collects the fluorescent fruits evenly.
Although each individual fluorescent grass is slightly darker this way, it still illuminates the entire area overall.
Just as he was packing the fluorescent fruits into his travel bag, he heard the sound of soil being turned over.
Judging from the sounds, they gradually approached Liu Nian's direction. A raven in a certain direction began to warn him. Liu Nian heard the raven's voice and realized it was still some distance away. He decisively enveloped the raven with his consciousness, preparing to investigate who was attacking.
