Ma Yuanbai's expression was grave:
"If I wanted to poison you, I would have killed you many times over."
"And now!"
Ma Yuanbai's voice suddenly rose a little, and his tone became more serious.
"You actually dared to hand over the alien beast core directly to me."
"And you also told me you have the blood of a strange beast."
"Are you afraid I won't know you killed the beast?"
"Luckily, it's just the two of us here, otherwise all the refugees would know by now."
Ma Yuanbai kept talking, and Li Yu couldn't get a word in edgewise.
"Don't think that having superpowers makes you invincible."
Ma Yuanbai narrowed his eyes, his gaze carrying a warning:
"Even the awakened can die."
Li Yu was at a loss for words.
Li Yu had indeed been worried about the situation Ma Yuanbai described.
However, he always had a feeling that Ma Yuanbai was not hostile towards him.
This is one of the key reasons why Li Yu was willing to believe Ma Yuanbai.
“I believe you,” Li Yu suddenly replied.
"Hahaha." Ma Yuanbai laughed uncontrollably after hearing this, and even tears came out of his eyes.
As he laughed, Ma Yuanbai suddenly looked up, as if he had become a different person, and leaned close to Li Yu, whispering:
"I want the blood of the alien beast. Name your price."
"Uh..." This stark contrast left Li Yu completely speechless.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yu directly stated what he wanted most:
"I'd like to know your method for preserving meat."
“This…” Ma Yuanbai hesitated after hearing this, looking troubled.
It wasn't that he didn't want to give it to them; it was just that his method of preserving meat was actually a kind of superpower.
Superpowers cannot be given to people.
After much deliberation, Ma Yuanbai could only come up with a compromise.
"I can give you a jar that I've specially treated, with reinforced inner walls, which can extend the shelf life of the meat to some extent."
"Although the effect is not as good as when I use my special ability to preserve it directly, it can still store it for seven or eight days."
After saying that, Ma Yuanbai seemed to realize that the value of his jar was completely incomparable to that of the blood of the strange beast.
Before Li Yu could answer, he spoke again:
"I can also tell you how to absorb the crystal cores of alien beasts."
"Method? Aren't you supposed to absorb energy from the beast core by holding it in your hand?" Li Yu said casually.
Ma Yuanbai laughed again after hearing this: "Listen to what you're saying!"
Ma Yuanbai deliberately mimicked Li Yu's words, repeating, "I can absorb it just by holding it in my hand~"
"How could you possibly absorb such a huge amount of energy from a beast's crystal core just by holding it in your hand?"
As he was speaking, Ma Yuanbai suddenly paused.
He realized something, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Do you think you can absorb it just by holding it in your hand?"
No one has ever been able to directly absorb the energy from the alien beast's crystal core; all awakened beings require a special extraction method.
Seeing Ma Yuanbai staring at him with eyes as wide as copper bells, Li Yu quickly tried to evade the question.
"No, how could I possibly hold the beast's crystal core and absorb such a huge amount of energy? I was just asking casually."
Li Yu waved her hand, wanting to turn the page.
Ma Yuanbai looked at Li Yu, his eyes clearly showing disbelief.
He had just heard Li Yu say that it could be absorbed.
