Cerna didn't know that although Li Ke was excited, he still maintained a rational state because the potato's growth under the effect of life force wasn't that simple. Because such an action was more or less not worth the loss.
Although Li Ke called the power he used 'life force', judging from the actual performance, Li Ke wasn't sure if this thing that was linked to human consciousness was the life force he thought of because this power really had many magical aspects.
In the process of extracting this power, no matter how much of this magical power the other party still had in their body, as long as the other party died, this power would instantly dissipate in his perception and couldn't be used by him.
But whether it was the small leader who was sucked dry by him, or the she-wolf who was constantly withering and losing her fur under his extraction, it also had some strange characteristics. However, it also displayed another strange characteristic. It was as if if the consciousness of the living being didn't dissipate during the extraction process, the body of the living being could be extracted into a pile of residue that could no longer sustain life.
But what was more interesting was that the life force itself would produce a part of life force every day due to eating and other reasons, and it would be consumed and accumulated according to the person's actions. At that time, apart from killing people, Li Ke also used this method to accumulate life force. It was just that the food at the beginning wasn't good and the output was too little compared to killing people. Li Ke usually ignored this part of the harvest and only considered it as accumulation.
And the more 'life force' accumulated in a living being's body, the easier it was for them to go in a good direction: stronger, stronger, less prone to illness, more endurance, greatly enhanced senses, increased appetite, and increased daily production of life force. And for Li Ke, he could also use the method of consuming life force to strengthen his body or treat his wounds in an unscientific way.
But how did he do it? What was the principle? Why did this power have such characteristics?
He wasn't sure. Just like how he could plunder life force, whether it was strengthening or healing, he 'knew' how to do it, but he didn't know why. He didn't need any training or learning. It was as if he was born to be able to use it, and it was his instinct.
And as he became more proficient in using it, this power showed all kinds of characteristics and became …
Powerful.
Therefore, in reality, he was not particularly clear about this power that had saved him countless times. And at the end of the day, even the term 'vitality' was just a term he thought of.
The reason why he was still rational was actually very simple. Even though the potato was constantly growing under his vitality, and the consumption of vitality was negligible. It was only the consumption of half an hour of walking, but it wasn't that simple.
When he picked up the potato, he found that the moisture in the ashes had completely disappeared. It had become dry again, and a part of the ashes had been consumed. It was obvious that it had been consumed. At this time, he tried to inject life force into the potatoes, wanting to make them grow out of thin air. However, he discovered that his life force consumption instantly increased. Just to make the potato in his hand bigger, turning it from a quail egg to a small egg, Li Ke had used up the life force of a full meal.
Furthermore, this wasn't the only thing that dampened his enthusiasm. When he tried to absorb the life force within these potatoes, he didn't gain anything. Although he could feel that he could absorb the power within, it seemed that his current strength wasn't strong enough. This ability wasn't strong enough, and he couldn't absorb this plant's life force. This also meant that it was impossible for him to use plants to replenish his life force.
At least, he couldn't do it now.
"So for plants, if there are resources, then life force is equivalent to a powerful catalyst. It can allow them to grow in violation of the seasons and at a normal growth rate. But if there aren't any resources, do I have to use my own life force to bear everything for their growth? "
Li Ke looked at the potato in his hand. He knew that if he wanted to use the smallest method to reduce his consumption, he had to prepare enough things for the potato.
Soil, water, fertilizers, and even temperature. If he were to arrange everything for the potato, then the consumption of his life force should be reduced correspondingly.
At this thought, he immediately took action. He picked up his two-handed sword and walked out of the cave. Then, he dug out the ice-cold soil at the entrance of the cave and used a piece of cloth to carry the soil into the cave. He piled the soil into a semi-circular pile by the bonfire. Then, he continuously melted the snow into warm water and poured it on the ice-cold soil.
But after doing all this, Li Ke felt weak and powerless. He had no choice but to stop his actions and boil some hot water for himself to drink. He also rested for a while to recover his strength.
After all, even though his life force had long surpassed that of ordinary people under his strengthening and nurturing, whether it was hunger, cold, or healing Cherna, they had all consumed the life force that he had stored during this period of time. This caused his next actions to consume the life force that maintained his movement.
But fortunately, this weakness could be recovered with a full meal and some rest, so it was still within Li Ke's acceptable range.
"Sir Li Ke, is there anything I can help you with?"
Seeing Li Ke's apparent fatigue, Cherna struggled to stand up. However, Li Ke stopped her because Li Ke didn't transfer too much life force to her at that time. He only maintained her life force. So if he let her out at this time, it would purely be looking for trouble.
"You just need to rest well. You can't help me at this time."
After taking a deep breath, the exhausted Li Ke stood up and buried the potatoes that had begun to grow into the soil. He poured warm water mixed with snow and transferred his life force to the potatoes that had stopped growing. The green leaves continued to extend and grow in size in the cave that was only illuminated by the light of the fire.
The damp soil that Li Ke had prepared also dried up at a very fast speed and began to bulge up. But this was inevitable. This way of growing that exceeded the law of natural growth couldn't help but absorb the soil in a way that was almost plundering, causing the original black soil to slowly fade.
This drastic change was obviously due to the fact that their originally 'nutritious' things were being crazily sucked out!
But these things weren't what Li Ke had to consider now because these strange phenomena were accompanied by another matter.
"As expected! The consumption of life force has decreased a little! The same consumption, but a different result! "
After the soil under his palm became dry again, Li Ke dug up the bulging soil and revealed the potatoes that were the size of his fist. He revealed a satisfied smile.
