Ma Yuanbai held the beast core up to his eyes and examined it closely, a pale blue light reflecting in them. He continued, "..."
"The Beast Crystal Core is the product of energy condensation within the body of a Beast. The energy contained within it is also a way for Awakened Ones to quickly increase their strength."
The fact that the alien beast's crystal core emitted a pale blue light indicates that there is still energy inside.
Ma Yuanbai suppressed his intense desire, took a deep breath to calm himself, and asked Li Yu:
“Aside from when they actively attack humans, it’s very difficult for monsters to be detected. I don’t know how you encountered one.”
"This strange beast was attacking refugees, and I just happened to run into it," Li Yu said casually.
Ma Yuanbai didn't press the matter further, but he knew perfectly well what was going on in his mind.
The mythical beasts also possess special supernatural abilities, which enhance their immense strength.
Even if they couldn't defeat humans in a fight, escaping wouldn't be a problem at all; it's definitely not as simple and easy as Li Yu made it out to be.
Based on this, Li Yu's superpower is definitely offensive, and its destructive power must be extremely strong.
Ma Yuanbai's gaze towards Li Yu underwent a subtle change.
According to Ma Yuanbai's previous plan, he did need a capable and trustworthy ally, and Li Yu in front of him seemed to be the perfect fit.
But now is not the time to talk about this.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ma Yuanbai decided to tell Li Yu everything he knew about the strange beasts without reservation:
"As far as I know, every part of this strange beast is a treasure. Its meat is delicious and can strengthen the body, and its blood, in particular, is said to be able to transform a person completely..."
At this point, Ma Yuanbai suddenly looked at Li Yu and instantly understood why Li Yu and Fu Xiyao had changed so much—they must have drunk the blood of the strange beast.
It seems that Li Yu really did kill a strange beast.
"Is there anything else?" Li Yu asked impatiently.
"Besides flesh and blood, the most important thing is the beast crystal core inside the beast's body. It can not only accelerate the growth of superpowers, but also has a certain probability of awakening superpowers."
"Awakening superpowers?"
"Yes, this is a way to forcibly acquire superpowers. Many people in the safe zone have become Awakened through this method."
Ma Yuanbai's voice was deep; he knew several people who had gained superpowers in this way.
"Wouldn't that make it easy to create a team of Awakened Ones?" Li Yu couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's not that easy to encounter a strange beast. If you really do encounter one, you won't even have time to run away."
Ma Yuanbai shook his head. He was telling the truth. For scavengers, the first reaction to encountering a strange beast should be to run for their lives.
For some, the moment they encounter a strange beast, their death is sealed.
To obtain the beast core, both luck and strength are indispensable.
"Do you want this beast core?" Li Yu suddenly asked.
Ma Yuanbai was stunned; he hadn't expected Li Yu to actually sell.
But he ultimately shook his head and handed the beast core back.
"The Beast Core can indeed rapidly enhance superpowers, but it's not particularly useful to me."
Ma Yuanbai does not possess offensive superpowers, so even if he enhances his superpowers with the monster crystal core, his combat strength will not increase as a result.
But most importantly, the value of the alien beast core is extremely high, and even if Li Yu wanted to sell it, he probably couldn't afford to buy it.
"For me, the blood of a beast is more valuable than the core of a beast," Ma Yuanbai said frankly.
"Oh? What's so special about the blood of strange beasts?" Li Yu asked curiously.
“Having grown up in an environment of hunger, refugees are born with congenital deficiencies.”
“And the blood of strange beasts has a special energy that can make up for the deficiencies in this body.” Ma Yuanbai’s eyes were filled with longing.
Li Yu nodded after hearing this. It was true that refugees often went hungry, sometimes eating a full meal and sometimes going hungry for three days straight.
Many migrants' heights are affected as a result, which is one of the reasons why migrants are generally short in stature.
"The blood of exotic beasts can not only heal childhood injuries, but some people can even have their lifespan greatly extended as a result."
Ma Yuanbai suffered from stomach problems due to exposure to cold since childhood, and he was still unable to get rid of these problems after becoming an Awakened One.
Looking into Ma Yuanbai's eyes, Li Yu considered for a moment.
Fu Xiyao had previously collected a bottle of blue blood from a strange beast, and since he and Fu Xiyao had already drunk the blood, drinking another bottle wouldn't cause any change.
Thinking of this, Li Yu said:
"I have the blood of a strange beast, I can sell it to you."
After hearing Li Yu's words, Ma Yuanbai did not press Li Yu about the matter of the beast's blood. Instead, he raised his head and met Li Yu's sharp gaze.
There's something I need to remind you of.
This was the first time Ma Yuanbai had spoken to Li Yu so seriously, and Li Yu actually felt an invisible pressure.
"Now that you have superpowers, you've started to become careless."
Ma Yuanbai then pointed to the large group of refugees walking past in the distance:
"You're underestimating these refugees. If things continue like this, you'll suffer a great loss."
"Don't forget, you're not in the safe zone."
Li Yu was a little dazed after hearing what he said, and stood there dumbfounded.
Ma Yuanbai continued:
“From the moment we met, you ate the food I gave you without any suspicion.”
"They even let their guard down around me because of my enthusiasm."
"You didn't even examine the snake meat closely after you got it."
"Everyone who approaches others does so with a purpose, and I am no exception."
