Moreover, judging from the energy fluctuations, he discovered that Li Yu had already become a first-order Awakener.
It really is true that a day apart feels like three autumns.
The two were separated for only a day, and Li Yu not only increased his strength greatly, but even his appearance changed.
Ma Yuanbai's subordinate took a package from the luggage at the back and handed it to Li Yu.
Li Yu took the package and opened it. Inside, there was indeed jerky made from snake meat, which looked pitch black.
I don't know what method Ma Yuanbai used to make the meat so black.
"Although it doesn't look like much, it is indeed made from half snake meat. After all, there is some loss involved," Ma Yuanbai explained proactively, fearing that Li Yu might misunderstand.
Li Yu knew that the meat would weigh much less after processing, so he nodded to Ma Yuanbai to show his understanding.
Li Yu casually handed the bag of snake meat to Fu Xiyao behind him before turning to Ma Yuanbai and saying:
"I have something I'd like you to take a look at."
Upon hearing this, Ma Yuanbai's eyes lit up; these were exactly the words he had been waiting for.
He had already guessed from the changes in Li Yu and the other person that Li Yu must have obtained something good.
However, he couldn't ask first, so he planned to wait patiently and try to subtly inquire later that evening if necessary.
Unexpectedly, Li Yu took the initiative to speak first.
“Of course, no problem.” Ma Yuanbai agreed without hesitation.
He was a seasoned businessman, so he naturally understood Li Yu's concerns and worries.
"You all wait here."
After instructing his men to stay put and wait, Ma Yuanbai walked several dozen meters away with Li Yu, while Fu Xiyao obediently stayed behind to wait as well.
Ma Yuanbai cautiously looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else around, he nodded to Li Yu.
Li Yu didn't waste any words. After all, among this group of refugees, Ma Yuanbai was considered a trustworthy person, and the two had just reached an agreement yesterday.
Li Yu took out the smallest gemstone and showed it to Ma Yuanbai in her palm.
Curious, Ma Yuanbai leaned closer for a closer look and saw a faint blue light.
Upon seeing what Li Yu was holding, Ma Yuanbai's expression changed drastically:
"A strange beast's crystal core!"
"This is a beast core?" Li Yu was also somewhat surprised. Didn't this mean that the creature he had eaten before was a beast?
"You don't recognize the alien beast crystal core?" Ma Yuanbai looked at Li Yu's face, seemingly somewhat doubtful.
"I don't know him." Li Yu shook her head blankly.
Ma Yuanbai was completely convinced:
"You don't even know about the alien beast's crystal core, yet you've become a first-tier awakener. You seem to have a lot of talent."
Ma Yuanbai reached out his hand, and Li Yu actually handed him the beast core she was holding.
Ma Yuanbai was surprised that Li Yu trusted him so much, handing over the beast core to him without even asking any questions.
After giving Li Yu a deep look, Ma Yuanbai then focused all his attention on the exotic beast crystal core in his hand.
"Humans who possess superpowers are called Awakened Ones."
"And those animals that undergo mutations are called alien beasts."
