Chapter 225: Super Rich! p2
Lin Jiayao glanced at the little blue serpents that had just swum around, there were at least two or three hundred of them.
If these were all converted into Blood Crystals, it would be enough to fill Lin Jiayao’s Blood Crystal Box and half of the warehouse.
Enough, more than enough.
“I want them.” Lin Jiayao nodded firmly.
Okay, I’ll go get them for you.
The blue serpent turned its head, as if preparing to leave, but soon, it turned back to look at Lin Jiayao, and a blue light lit up on its forehead.
Your daughter is so cute.
Lin Jiayao: “?”
Was it because of the wings that grew out of Huayibai’s back before?
Good heavens.
Was the blue serpent’s standard for judging whether a creature was cute or not based entirely on whether it had wings? Did having wings mean it was good-looking?
Because the giant serpent was preparing to go and return quickly, it shook Huayibai off its head, placed her in front of Lin Jiayao, then leaned back and directly fell into the deep sea, creating a huge wave.
Just wait a little longer.
Lin Jiayao took Huayibai ashore and began to think about the giant serpent’s words just now.
Did it really require so many Blood Crystals to reach A-rank?
Excluding the body, just the Blood Crystals stored inside could precipitate a few hundred?
And this was when its blood crystals were almost completely depleted and hadn’t recovered much.
If it was at its peak, wouldn’t it directly precipitate more than a thousand?
These were definitely not the Blood Crystals needed for evolving to A-rank, but the Blood Crystals stored by these zombies after becoming A-rank.
Even if it was less, an ordinary zombie would have to devour all the zombies in almost two provinces to have a chance of evolving to A-rank?
No wonder there were no A-rank zombies on land. With humans and firearms as checks and balances, land zombies generally stayed at a relatively low level, and any zombie that was too strong would directly or indirectly clash with humans.
Under this mutual restraint, it was naturally difficult for the land, which had fewer blood crystals than the ocean, to evolve A-rank zombies.
But the ocean was different.
There was no law in the ocean, and there was no concept of camps or protection.
They almost all acted alone, fighting upon meeting, survival of the fittest, the strong getting stronger. One zombie could directly clear and plunder a large area of the sea.
Compared to the complex situation on land, evolution in the ocean was much simpler.
This also meant that once the overlord zombies of the ocean came ashore, the land might have no ability to resist at all.
Lin Jiayao took Huayibai ashore and saw Kisaragi Mika, who was standing there, drenched by the waves.
At this time, the girl in the miko costume, before Lin Jiayao even reached out, directly lit up with a red light and flew to Lin Jiayao’s shoulder.
“Ino~” After calling out sweetly, the girl leaned against her neck again, as if she had treated this as her exclusive spot.
This made Lin Jiayao feel like she had a small parrot on her shoulder.
After asking Huayibai to wait for her, Lin Jiayao stood in front of the mountain of flesh.
Even if she threw away all the flesh and blood in the Item Storage Box, Lin Jiayao still couldn’t hold much flesh and blood… this piece in front of her was already considered overloaded for Lin Jiayao.
But no matter what, this was still high-level zombie meat.
These black carapaces, maybe she could bring them back and use the Workbench to make them into various weapons…
Lin Jiayao didn’t have the ability to process these A-rank carapaces, but the system definitely did. If she could create a batch of weapons using A-rank carapaces as a base, it would be a huge improvement for both her and her sister.
Lin Jiayao walked to the broken part of the carapace, forcefully broke off a piece of broken carapace with flesh and blood attached, and revealed the wine-red, slightly blackened flesh inside.
It’s okay… it’s just ordinary meat…
A4 could eat it, couldn’t Ino?
These are Blood Crystals… these are Blood Crystals…
Lin Jiayao hypnotized herself in her mind while slowly moving her head towards the flesh and blood, and took a bite.
This muscle was chewier than ordinary B-rank zombies.
Lin Jiayao, who had tasted B-rank flesh and blood, commented on the taste.
After grinding a part of the muscle with her sharp teeth, Lin Jiayao grabbed the small mountain in front of her with both hands, pulled it back forcefully, and tore off a piece of muscle.
“Ino!”
Kisaragi Mika on her shoulder screamed when she saw this scene. She seemed to have never thought that the Ino God would directly eat zombies.
Lin Jiayao ignored the scream on her shoulder. It was through these actions that she wanted Kisaragi Mika to realize that the so-called “Ino God” was just an ordinary zombie controlled by a person, who could communicate and eat corpses, and was not a so-called god.
After swallowing the flesh and blood in her mouth with difficulty, Lin Jiayao was slightly emotional.
Fortunately, compared to other zombies, Ino’s taste buds were not very good. Besides feeling the tough texture like beef jerky, she didn’t taste anything strange.
Lin Jiayao continued to tear at the flesh and blood inside, swallowing piece by piece.
Unfortunately, Ino didn’t have the strong digestive ability of Huayibai and A4. Her stomach visibly bulged from the meat.
It wasn’t until her stomach was completely full that Lin Jiayao stopped her terrifying eating and waited for her body to digest the flesh and blood.
There was already a big hole bitten out of the meat mountain in front of her.
Lin Jiayao found that she didn’t seem to be as resistant to flesh and blood as before. Holding this meat mountain and gnawing on it felt like holding a large piece of beef jerky and gnawing on it, without any psychological pressure.
Maybe she was used to it.
After eating so many strange things, this wine-red meat in front of Lin Jiayao looked more normal.
After the heart pump ran at full speed, extracting the flesh and blood in the stomach to repair the outer skin, and spreading Ino’s purple skin all over her body again, Lin Jiayao once again began to tear at the flesh and blood in front of her.
Putting aside the prejudice against zombie corpses, it was actually perfectly fine to use them to repair the body and become stronger.
No wonder the Blue Serpent said that zombie meat was much more delicious than Blood Crystals. If she were also a wild creature, she would also think so.
After repairing her body with flesh and blood, Lin Jiayao tried to continue devouring, continuing to extract the flesh and blood in her stomach to strengthen herself, until the muscles all over her body began to feel swollen, and the Divine Skin Armor under her skin began to glow, then Lin Jiayao stopped.
She couldn’t continue eating anymore, Ino wasn’t ready yet, and if she continued to eat, this body couldn’t handle it.
At this point, Lin Jiayao had bitten a hole almost as tall as herself in the meat mountain in front of her, and even Ino’s face was covered with minced meat and black liquid. This gluttonous feast lasted for a full half hour.
Lin Jiayao glanced at the extraction time. There was still an hour and a half left. It was estimated that the Blue Serpent would be back in about half an hour.
At this time, Kisaragi Mika, who was on Lin Jiayao’s shoulder and witnessed the meat-eating up close, was already scared silly. Everything that had happened in the past two days was destroying her worldview bit by bit.
The Ino beside her, whose face was covered with minced meat, made Kisaragi Mika feel strange, especially her savagery and coldness when tearing and biting flesh and blood, which made her feel like there was a bloodthirsty monster without emotions beside her at that moment.
“Ino…” Kisaragi Mika called out carefully, her hand no longer on Lin Jiayao’s neck.
“Hmm?” Lin Jiayao turned her head, looked at the girl standing on her shoulder, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Looking at the girl’s slightly scared and hesitant look, Lin Jiayao felt that her plan to pull Ino off the altar seemed to have succeeded a little.
“No… nothing…” The girl shook her head, unable to connect the terrifying Ino with flesh and blood all over her face with the Ino who took her to watch the sunrise before.
The girl didn’t say anything, but her body, which didn’t lean in again, indicated that her heart was already very shaken.
It was estimated that it wouldn’t be long before she could completely break free from the cult’s influence… It was just that this process might be a bit painful.
Suddenly, Lin Jiayao’s ears twitched, and her sensitive ears heard a familiar sound from the seaside.
Turning her head to look, a familiar white line appeared on the horizon where the sky met the sea.
So fast?
Maybe the Blue Serpent used some abilities, and this time it came particularly fast.
Lin Jiayao wasn’t sure if it was because she didn’t see clearly, but she felt that the waves this time seemed much smaller.
Soon, at the edge of her vision, a large serpent with huge bone wings spread, directly rushing towards the shore.
At this speed, was it going to…
Before Lin Jiayao could react, the giant serpent directly rushed ashore and then stopped on the beach.
This was a blue serpent about sixty meters long, much smaller than the previous Blue Serpent.
But the bone wings of this blue serpent seemed fuller, with blue membranes between the bone wings, and the scales underneath were denser, seemingly for easier crawling.
It twisted its body on the beach and moved towards Lin Jiayao. Lin Jiayao saw a large piece of red crystal in its translucent mouth.
“Crash—”
After the giant serpent moved to Lin Jiayao, it opened its mouth and poured the Blood Crystals in its mouth onto the ground, forming a small mountain.
Hiss…
Lin Jiayao almost gasped.
This was the first time she had seen so many Blood Crystals glistening under the morning sun, and the shock was very strong.
It was like the difference between tens of millions of deposits in a bank card and tens of millions of cash piled up before the apocalypse.
One was a number in the system, the other was a real visual shock.
Even Kisaragi Mika on her shoulder was attracted by the large pile of Blood Crystals – it was also her first time seeing so many Blood Crystals.
And ordinary Awakened weren’t as rich as Lin Jiayao, and they never thought that they could save up hundreds of Blood Crystals, so it looked even more shocking.
The Blue Serpent propped up its body in front of the Blood Crystals, pressed its head against Lin Jiayao’s forehead, and emitted a faint blue light.
Brought them over.
“Thank you…” Lin Jiayao said in her mind, then slowly squatted down, wanting to grab all the Blood Crystals with one hand, but found that the gaps between Ino’s fingers were too big, and the Blood Crystals would easily slip through.
There was no other way. Lin Jiayao could only call Huayibai over and ask her to use mycelium to form a very large fine-mesh net bag, put all the Blood Crystals inside, and let Lin Jiayao hold it.
Holding the heavy bag of Blood Crystals, Lin Jiayao couldn’t wait to drag this corpse and extract.
Quickly store them first.
But Lin Jiayao couldn’t leave in a hurry now. The Blue Serpent, Huayibai, and Kisaragi Mika were all here. She had to make arrangements for everyone before leaving.
If nothing unexpected happened, Huayibai wouldn’t stay here either, but would choose to take half of the Living Weapon’s corpse and drag this small meat mountain back to China.
Letting Huayibai carry Kisaragi Mika on her back, with enough supplies, she shouldn’t have to be afraid of the “flying fish” on the sea.
So, the only remaining variable was the Blue Serpent.
Would it continue to invade Japan?
It said it wanted to protect her… how exactly would it protect her?
These were all questions that Lin Jiayao had to figure out.
Looking at the blue serpent in front of her, which could now communicate normally and had been given quite a few brains, Lin Jiayao also prepared her questions.
