Winterwarmth Pearl
Chapter 415: Winterwarmth Pearl
* Bang! Bang! Bang! *
Furball continued to attack, spitting out one energy ball after another.
Hezar calmly took on the attacks, using his special ability to absorb Furball's attacks into his body. He was an energy drain ability user, so no matter how strange Furball's attacks were, they were still energy forms. As long as Hezar did not make too big of a mistake, he would always be able to avert disaster.
Xia Fei sinisterly smiled. He circled around Hezar from a distance as if he did not care that his attacks were ineffective. Phantom was very confused.
Phantom was very confused. It had to be understood that Xia Fei had already lost his Butterfly Serpent and Celestial Moon. The only weapon he could use was October Flying Snow. Moreover, Xia Fei did not have the opportunity to get close to Hezar. The moment he got close to Hezar, the latter would latch onto him like a magnet, sucking away all his energy in one fell swoop.
On the surface, the situation was extremely disadvantageous to Xia Fei, but why was Xia Fei smiling?
Furball would fire an energy ball every second, and Hezar was doing his best to absorb the energy. He had no time to deal with Xia Fei, so the battle was abnormally tense.
Furball appeared to be gasping for breath. Every energy sphere consumed a large amount of energy, and the energy reserves in Furball's body were being depleted bit by bit. Although he had accumulated quite a bit of energy in the past, he could not endure such a large amount of energy being released continuously.
"Good job! Hold on a little longer! "Xia Fei encouraged Furball.
Furball very seriously nodded. While this fellow was usually sly and lazy, when a real battle broke out, its attitude would become incomparably proper. It would earnestly complete the work it was supposed to do, never slacking off, and never giving up.
In this aspect, he was rather similar to Xia Fei. When he had nothing to do, Xia Fei was actually a cheerful person who liked to tell jokes to make everyone laugh, but that was only on a daily basis. In battle and cultivation, Xia Fei was more like the craziest madman, serious, stubborn, and savage. He would never let any of his enemies go.
Miraculous changes began to appear on Hezar's body. Because he had absorbed so much energy, Hezar's speed did not increase. Instead, he began to slow down, his muscles swelling up like a rubber bag that had been filled with too much water. Even his complexion changed, sweat pouring down his face as his expression grew more and more grim.
Phantom and Furball both noticed this change. Furball was very excited. He could see the dawn of victory, so he began to attack Hezar even more frantically.
A person's body had a limit. Hezar was like a deep well, able to absorb the energy of others into his well, but this well could not be filled forever. Once the well was full, the energy would overflow. This was Xia Fei's scheme! He had been waiting for this moment from the very beginning!
Hezar had absorbed far too much energy today. First the Watergloom, then the Butterfly Serpent and Celestial Moon, and now Furball's berserk energy attacks.
He felt his abdomen swelling, as if too much energy was about to burst out of his belly. He was about to reach the limit of what he could absorb!
On the other hand, the small ball was still persistently attacking him, showing no signs of stopping.
For the sake of survival, Hezar could only continue to force himself to absorb energy. The more he absorbed, the heavier the burden on his body!
Besides Furball, he was most worried about Xia Fei, who was coldly observing him. Hezar was very familiar with exotic beasts. In his eyes, Xia Fei was the most cunning, most cruel, and most patient exotic beast. He had been watching him this entire time, searching for any opportunity to strike.
Hezar finally understood. From the very beginning, Xia Fei allowing him to absorb the energy of the Watergloom without attacking was a scheme! Everything that happened after that was premeditated by him!
From the very beginning, he had been prepared to absorb so much energy that he would reach his limit!
What precise calculations! What cruel methods!
This was like killing a person without using a knife, but forcing him to eat non-stop until he stuffed himself to death!
This was the most painful form of torture!
Crucially, Hezar could not stop even if he wanted to. Furball and Xia Fei were nearby, coldly staring at him. Dying on the battlefield like a warrior had already become an extravagant hope. A warrior who stuffed himself to death? Just what was going on here!
The more Hezar thought about it, the more vexed he became, and his blood-red eyes exploded with fury.
"You finally understand, but it's too late," Xia Fei calmly said.
* Whoosh! *
The time had come. Xia Fei suddenly accelerated, surpassing thirty thousand meters per second!
When Xia Fei got close to Hezar, a powerful attractive force caused Xia Fei's legs to go weak, as if he had suddenly contracted osteochondrosis.
Alas, Hezar was already close to the limit of what his body could endure. This threat could not stop Xia Fei, much less attract him!
October Flying Snow gently swept past Hezar, and when he stopped, he was holding a fat head that had turned purple from absorbing too much energy.
His eyes were filled with humiliation. A top-class warrior had been stuffed to death, and one could easily imagine Hezar's resentment before his death.
* Bang! *
Furball's energy ball followed, striking Hezar's still-standing body.
Majestic energy particles soared into the sky!
Watergloom's, Butterfly Serpent's, Celestial Moon's, Furball's, and Hezar's own energy — all the energy he had devoured was returned untouched!
Furball excitedly absorbed the energy particles in the sky. These were all essences! After being filtered by Hezar's ability, only the truly high-quality energy remained. Not only could it make up for Furball's consumption, the extra energy was enough for Furball to grow!
Xia Fei lit a cigarette and indifferently said, "Why don't you think about who I am? Do you think eating my food is that easy? Once you're done, you'll have to pay me back double. "
…
On the shore of the red river, Xia Fei quietly smoked a cigarette while Furball, with his bulging belly, lay on a boulder, basking in the sun, feeling extremely comfortable.
The pitiful Hezar had spent his entire life as an enemy of exotic beasts, hunting them and absorbing their energy, but in the end, it was all for naught, for Furball to eat his fill.
"Look, Furball's fur is even shinier now. He'll probably be able to level up a little," Phantom said with a smile.
Xia Fei replied, "Hezar has absorbed the energy of many exotic beasts. This energy has a different composition from that of ores or humans, and it's most suitable for Furball to absorb. He's truly benefited greatly this time. From my communication with him, I learned that his level has risen by at least twenty percent. It's even more effective than eating several hundred Purple Hearts of Spirit."
Phantom said, "This Hezar's ability truly is formidable. Just now, I saw that when your blade went over, your legs were already a little unsteady. If not for your previous plan, it would have been very difficult for you to defeat him."
Xia Fei replied, "There seems to be an invisible energy around him that weakens my physical strength. This is the first time I've encountered such a troublesome opponent. Even when I fought against the spatial ability user Clean Knife, I didn't think much of it. Insectoid ability users can't be underestimated."
Phantom said, "No matter how formidable Hezar is, in the end, he was still tricked by you and stuffed himself to death. If the insectoids knew that their hero died in such a way, they'd probably hate you to the bone. After all, schemes and schemes aren't very honorable."
Xia Fei nonchalantly shrugged. "Who said that warriors can't use schemes and schemes? Besides, I didn't use any schemes this time. I just calculated one thing. Every lifeform or object has its own limits. He devoured all the energy he could and stuffed himself to death. How can I be blamed for that? "
As he spoke, he put away Celestial Moon and Butterfly Serpent.
Though Hezar's body had been converted into energy and eaten by Furball, his strange weapon and spatial ring had been left behind.
The black rope did not look like anything out of the ordinary, but there was a thick stench of blood on it that made people feel very uncomfortable. Phantom had no idea what this thing was, either. After some thought, Xia Fei stored it in his spatial ring, planning to study it when he got back.
It was that spatial ring that gave Xia Fei a pleasant surprise.
"The eye of a Snow Mountain Lizard!
"The tooth of a Three-Pointed Inferno Snake!
"Heavens! There's even the venom of an Ironback Centipede! Xia Fei, you've gotten quite a few good things this time! "
Hezar was different from the average person. He did not have many treasures on him, nor did he have many living necessities. Even his spatial ring was pitifully small, a measly 0.5 cubic meters.
But this small ring of 0.5 cubic meters was packed to the brim with spoils of war, all of them precious treasures obtained from top-class exotic beasts. Top-class exotic beasts could only be encountered by chance, not sought out. Who knew how long Hezar had to slaughter to amass so many treasures?
Their value was naturally priceless, and more importantly, they could be used in medicine to refine rare and extremely effective medicinal ingredients for future use.
"With these things, we'll definitely be able to refine a large batch of top-class medicinal ingredients that can't even be bought in this world!" Phantom, who had always loved refining medicine, excitedly said.
Xia Fei nodded. Though the process of challenging an expert was perilous, the rewards were equally maddening.
Furball had obtained a large amount of pure energy, and he had obtained a large batch of rare medicinal ingredients. Both sides had gotten what they needed, so his efforts had not been in vain.
After putting away the ring, Xia Fei took out an exquisite knife with a flick of his wrist. "Let's go. Let's see if this Watergloom has the legendary Winterwarmth Pearl."
Though the corpse was shriveled, it was still very large. Xia Fei found the Watergloom's head, and with a tug of his arms, he dragged it from the red river to the shore.
Phantom pointed at Xia Fei, who cut open the skin and began to probe inside.
"Look. This Watergloom's skin has lost its luster, and its muscles are rapidly deteriorating. It's like it's suddenly aged several decades. If you were caught by Hezar's ability, you'd end up just like him," Phantom said, fear still lingering in his heart.
Xia Fei said nothing. There were tens of thousands of abilities in the universe, and he would probably encounter more vicious abilities like Hezar's in the future. If a warrior wanted to establish a foothold in the universe, they needed to constantly improve their strength. This was the only way.
Xia Fei was very skilled, and several minutes later, he extracted a pearl the size of a billiard ball from the Watergloom's head.
"I was right, wasn't I? Such a large Watergloom definitely has a Winterwarmth Pearl in its head," Phantom proudly said.
