Chapter 95: New Effects of [Bone Tooth Necklace] and Second [Gluttony]

Luke didn't need to do it himself. He just needed to control [Spirit Fang] from a distance and make a few more shuttle moves, and the crocodile would just float in the water and become a real rotten wood.

An enemy of this level is no match for Luke.

The crocodile has excellent eyesight, which is more than seven times that of humans. It spotted Luke, the uninvited guest, without even blinking its cloudy eyes.

The dirty treated water began to circle around the crocodile's body, and streams of water arrows formed at the same time. Under the crocodile's control, they shot towards Luke in an overwhelming manner.

Just when these water arrows were halfway through their flight, a sturdy figure appeared out of nowhere and blocked them all. It was the mountain monster summoned by Luke.

The water arrows pierced the mountain monster's body, which was harder than granite, making a series of "puff" sounds, but ultimately failed to break its defense and turned into puddles of dirty water that fell to the ground.

Since this enemy is completely unable to meet Luke's needs, let's use it as an opponent of the Mountain Monster to test the strength of the summoned creature that Luke drew himself.

Looking at the burly figure standing in front of him, completely covering his figure, it had been consuming Luke's mental power during its existence, but the degree of consumption was not very large, at least it would not be a problem to last for an hour or so.

"attack."

Luke marked the crocodile with his mental power, and then did not take any specific action. He only gave this simple instruction to the mountain monster.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to test the mountain monster's autonomous offensive intelligence and attack logic.

After receiving the order, the mountain monster carried the huge cylindrical stone, moved its two strong, stone-like legs, and began to move forward.

It was not moving fast, but its strides were large and its movement was very steady. Soon, it was not far in front of the giant crocodile.

During this journey, it had already been hit by two rounds of water arrows, but its defense was strong, so it did not suffer much damage.

The mountain monster instinctively chose the ground route closest to the crocodile. At this time, there was no flat ground between it and the crocodile.

As a physical summon, it only has one long-range ability, which is to throw the weapon in its hand and hit the opponent. However, this is not a regular combat option.

So it stepped directly into the sewer water and tried to approach the crocodile for close combat.

The giant crocodile is also a bully in the sewer. It has a lazy personality and usually hunts some sewer creatures and the few homeless people who enter the sewer.

It can hunt solely by relying on its size, stealth and strength. After eating, it rests in the water, so it has never been discovered by the security company.

However, over such a long period of time, its life of hunting at will and eating whoever it likes has also made it develop the temper of a sewer bully.

Even though he had just been injured, and even though the monster looked bigger than himself, if it dared to enter the water, it would have to experience the power of the death roll.

He lifted the stone pillar on his shoulders with both hands, but the fast-flowing water could not shake the mountain monster's heavy body at all.

The crocodile swam towards the mountain monster, shaking its tail.

Binding!

Just as the two were approaching, a stream of dirty water flowed up from the mountain monster's feet along its legs, wrapping it up completely and forming a flowing water prison.

Taking advantage of the moment when the mountain monster was tied up, the giant crocodile swung its tail violently, rushed forward, opened its big mouth, and bit hard on the mountain monster's thigh which was half submerged in the water.

With a "crack", it was not known whether the rock-like muscles on the mountain monster's legs were bitten to pieces or the giant crocodile's teeth were broken. In any case, the huge crocodile did not let go and continued to bite fiercely.

The mountain monster was surrounded by the water, and he bent down with great effort, and smashed the rock in his hand down hard.

However, before the stone pillar fell, the crocodile had already tensed its body and began to perform its racial stunt - the "Death Roll".

Although the mountain monster's body was quite heavy and its strength was extremely great, the crocodile was also quite large and was still an extraordinary existence. It knocked it down in one fell swoop and made it fall into the water.

However, the mountain monster's hard body was not broken by a few rolls like a human's. With such a huge body in its mouth, the crocodile could not continue rolling, and was forced to stop after knocking the mountain monster down.

At this time, the two monsters began to fight instinctively in the water, and the crocodile's big mouth still did not loosen, biting the mountain monster's thigh tightly. Its strongest power is to control the water flow and its strong bite force.

At this moment, it exerted both forces to the extreme. While it shook its head violently to try to bite off one of the mountain monster's legs, it also used water flow to tightly wrap around the mountain monster's body to reduce its resistance.

Although the mountain monster was soaked in water, the water flow in the sewer was very shallow, and the ground under his feet was still solid, so the [Power to Move Mountains] was still in effect.

The stone pillar fell into the water. Even in the restraint of the water flow, it struggled to support the ground with one hand, and raised the other hand to hammer hard on the hard skin on the crocodile's back.

The extraordinary crocodile's back armor is also very hard. The rock-like fist collided violently with the crocodile's back armor, causing damage to both sides. A large amount of debris and hair fell off, and the bone plates on the crocodile's back were also visibly damaged.

The two fought for several minutes, but the crocodile was unable to bite off the mountain monster's leg, and the mountain monster was unable to cause enough damage to the crocodile to affect the battle. The situation came to a stalemate, and the fighting power between the two was evenly matched.

However, Luke had achieved his goal of testing the mountain monster's fighting power, so he stopped watching the battle and chose to intervene directly.

Judging from the crocodile's defense, it should be less than level 3. Luke didn't even need to use the skill [Death Hunt]. The [Spirit Fang] floating at his side shot out again and passed through the crocodile's head.

Shuttle, return, and shuttle again.

In just a few moments, Ling Ya made four or five holes in the giant crocodile's head, crushed its brain into pieces, and made the crocodile completely lose its breath.

When it comes to bullying weak opponents, [Lingya] is a professional.

"Kill a Level 2 spiritual creature"

"Obtain 250 points of spiritual essence"

For Luke now, a level 2 extraordinary creature can be killed instantly with just a wave of his hand.

After the spiritual essence was replenished, there were more than 300, but it was still a drop in the bucket for Luke to improve his skill level.

More!

I need more enemies!

The mountain monster was still following Luke's orders, attacking the giant crocodile with punches. Luke quickly stopped it and used his mental power to carefully control the giant crocodile, lifting it up and sending it to Luke's side.

First, he had to take a tooth out of the giant crocodile's mouth. Although the crocodile's fighting power was weak, it was only relative to Luke, a second-level abnormality. If it were any other second-level extraordinary being, it would not be easy to kill it without using firearms.

Moreover, the requirement for collecting teeth for the [Bone Tooth Necklace] is that one must be at least at the same level as oneself. Luke is now at level 2, and so is the crocodile, which just meets the minimum requirement, so he can enter the [Bone Tooth Necklace].

The kite old man I killed before was a level 3 one, which was more in line with the level, but... it was a piece of human skin, and after death, the body it occupied completely dissipated, including the teeth, and there was no trace left.
This crocodile has a lot of teeth, about 80 in total.

Crocodiles are creatures that constantly replace their teeth and can grow up to thousands of teeth during their lifetime.

Luke planned to pick a more mature and sharpest-looking tooth. He searched for a long time and finally chose the largest tooth in the middle of the giant crocodile's mouth and took it out.

Although the action of removing the tooth is simple, it is a kind of ritual of the [Death Stalker]. The tooth is instantly given the meaning of a "trophy" or "giant crocodile" in the extraordinary realm.

Then, the [Bone Tooth Necklace] hanging on Luke's neck automatically floated up and took the tooth into its empty space.

"The Bone Tooth Necklace has a new item: 'Giant Crocodile Fang'. Its effect is to greatly increase the power and burst of the holder's next attack. It must be activated actively. The CD of the effect is one minute."

After finishing the most important thing, Luke began to check other things of the crocodile.

Except for several times where the [Spirit Fang] pierced through the head, the skin on the giant crocodile's body remained intact. After being plucked out and tanned, it could be used as a carrier for [grotesque paintings].

In addition, the crocodile's blood can be collected and preserved, so Luke doesn't need to use his own blood to paint.

Although the corpse was large, such a big crocodile, even if the [Endless Stomach] could fit it, there would be no suitable place to deal with it after taking it out. Luke simply started to bleed and skin it on the spot.

After collecting a large bucket of blood, Luke discovered with embarrassment that as time went by, the spirituality in the blood was disappearing rapidly. It was nothing like his own blood, which, even after being stored for a day or two, was still as spiritual as if it had just been taken out.

Is this because blood is drawn from a living person, or is it because I am special?

Luke had no idea for the time being, but at this moment he could only give up the plan of drawing blood. He took out the skinning knife he got from the old man flying the kite, and began to skin the crocodile carefully along the crocodile's head.

This knife should also be an extraordinary item. Although Luke doesn't know its specific function, based on his own feel, it should have at least two effects.

The first is sharp. This knife is even sharper than [Thunder Flash]. Luke doesn't need to use too much force. It can easily cut through the tough crocodile skin and penetrate into the crocodile's body.

The second one should be helpful for skinning. When Luke was skinning with this knife, he felt that the handle was great. He didn't even need to think too much. The knife seemed to have life. It slid along with Luke's hand. In a moment, the whole crocodile skin was removed intact.

After the skin was removed, the energy in the crocodile's body was basically dissipated. Following his perception, Luke found the special organ left in it - the heart.

In a flash, they took out its stopped heart, and the matter in the sewer was over. Luke finally didn't have to endure the fishy smell here, so he found an exit nearby and climbed up.

Back at the hotel, Luke spread out the crocodile skin, which was larger than his own bed, on the ground. The hard bones had been removed, leaving only the soft inner layer.

Taking out a bottle of silver-white powder from the [Endless Stomach], Luke scooped out some with a small spoon and sprinkled a little bit evenly on the crocodile skin at regular intervals until the silver-white spots covered the entire skin.

Next, you need to leave it alone overnight. When the sun comes out tomorrow morning, the new energy will penetrate into the leather and complete the initial tanning.

Afterwards, it needs to be soaked in special spiritual potions and transformed with mental power. It will take about half a month before this crocodile skin can become a qualified carrier for [grotesque paintings].

In view of the special situation in Jacksonville, Luke plans to stay here for a while. After all, there should be a lot of monsters to kill here.

In a strange city, with few acquaintances and no social interaction, after completing the preliminary processing of the crocodile skin, Luke fell into a state of idleness.

He thought about it. The crocodile heart he had just taken out was still fresh, and his [Gluttonous Stomach] had not been used for a long time.

Not as good
The only inconvenience is that this is a hotel, not home, so it is not very convenient to cook by yourself.

However, even if the conditions were convenient, with his cooking skills, he could only simply bake or boil it, and the food might even be worse than the original.

When the hunger of [gluttonous stomach] comes up, even a lump of food can be eaten and digested. It is just eating raw meat and drinking blood. If you don’t even have this awareness, how can you make progress!

In order to avoid attracting too much attention, Luke chose not to eat outside or in the buffet restaurant.

He ordered a lot of takeout food such as steaks from several nearby restaurants. Although these ordinary foods could not bring much improvement, a mosquito leg is still meat. It is also good to use them to satisfy the [gluttonous stomach] a little in the early stage.

After placing enough food for dozens of people at a convenient location beside him and putting the fresh giant crocodile heart aside, Luke took a deep breath and activated his extraordinary skill - [Gluttonous Stomach] for the second time.

Hungry! ! !
eat! ! !
Although he had experienced it once, Luke's consciousness was instantly overwhelmed by the empty feeling when he experienced this endless hunger again more than a month later.

He looked at the food in the bedroom with green eyes, and picked up the nearest steak with his hands at random. Without even cutting it, he ate it piece by piece, one bite at a time. After two or three bites, he finished enough meat to satisfy an adult.

More...more food...

A large amount of food was eaten, and without giving Luke a sense of fullness, it was instantly converted into nutrients and absorbed by the body.

Not until the normal food was consumed did Luke follow his consciousness before activating the skill. He dragged up the heart and tore it apart like a perverted murderer.

A moment later, the crocodile heart, which was larger than a basketball, entered Luke's stomach. The abundant spiritual energy satisfied the hungry stomach and gave Luke's consciousness a chance to breathe.

stop!
He stopped his [Gluttonous Stomach] and collapsed to the ground, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle.

"【Gluttonous Stomach】Eat a large amount of ordinary food."

"Nutrient absorption and transformation"

"Physical fitness has been slightly improved."

"【Gluttonous Stomach】Eat complete extraordinary ingredients."

"Nutrient absorption and transformation"

"Physical fitness has improved slightly..."

"The strength of the heart muscle has increased moderately, the blood circulation and oxygen supply capacity have improved, and the explosive power has increased slightly."
