I can equip strange items

Chapter 75 Dealing with the Harvest

What made his face turn as black as the bottom of a pot was that the reporter's car actually had three dashcams, each hidden in a different location.

If he hadn't been so observant and attentive, he really wouldn't have noticed.

These videos probably contain important information, right?

Li Yuan squinted slightly as he looked through the footage from the reporter's dashcam.

Some of the scenes showed people carrying an unconscious woman on a nighttime journey, which looked very abnormal.

He then transferred all of this to his phone, cut out his own videos, and sent the rest to Lu Jiayin.

"These are the recordings from the dashcams of several vehicles. Please check them out, and if they contain any valuable information, remember to give me points."

After doing all this, Li Chen glanced at the boxes of mineral water, some convenience foods and canned goods, and a packet of salt.

He couldn't take these with him for the time being, so he could only hide them in the roadside bushes and come back to get them later.

He found a dense thicket of bushes, hid the items, then slung his backpack over his shoulder, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Now, let's go back up the mountain and process the scorpion meat.

With that thought in mind, he turned around and headed back the way he came towards Yunwu Mountain.

After walking for about twenty minutes, he returned to the foot of the mountain.

Looking up, Yunwu Mountain was still shrouded in gray-black clouds, with flashes of lightning and booming thunder.

He glanced at the bamboo stick in his hand, took a deep breath, and began to climb the mountain.

This time, his target wasn't the mountaintop, but rather the location of the giant scorpion's carcass on the hillside halfway up the mountain.

He climbed up the mountain path, a little slower than yesterday, because he had to keep a close eye on his surroundings.

Since a giant scorpion can appear here, there might be other, even more powerful monsters.

Fortunately, the journey was peaceful and we did not encounter any danger.

Perhaps, just as predicted, ordinary creatures simply dare not approach this place.

Because most living things, including humans, are terrified of lightning.

Soon, he arrived at the place where the battle had taken place the day before.

The giant scorpion's corpse still lay in the same spot, the surrounding ground a mess, with traces of battle everywhere.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and burning.

"It's still there."

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, and began to examine the giant scorpion's corpse.

When he left last night, he only removed the venom sac and a few pieces of carapace; he left most of the flesh untouched.

Now that he has salt, he can cut off a portion and take it with him.

He took out a bamboo knife from his backpack and began to cut the flesh of the large scorpion.

The scorpion's exoskeleton is extremely hard, but its internal flesh is relatively soft.

Moreover, because it had been dead for most of the day, the meat had not spoiled; on the contrary, it was well preserved in the low-temperature mountain forest.

Li Yuan first cut off the scorpion's tail.

The meat at the tail is the best, and it's also small in size, making it easy to carry.

He then cut several relatively intact pieces of meat from the scorpion's abdomen and legs.

That should be enough to last for a while.

He estimated that the cut meat weighed about 20 kilograms, wrapped it in several layers of large leaves, and then put it into a plastic bag that he had found in the car.

Although it's not very convenient to carry around like this, it's better than having nothing at all.

After processing the meat, he also packed away the venom sacs and carapace he had removed earlier, and then glanced at the remaining carcass of the giant scorpion.

The remaining meat will only benefit the wild animals in the mountains.

He shook his head, preparing to leave, when suddenly he remembered something else.

The Extreme Yang Grass needs to absorb the Yin energy of corpses and other substances that it doesn't yet know about. This scorpion's corpse should be considered a good material, right?

Thinking of this, his eyes immediately lit up.

In this way, the scorpion carcass will not be wasted at all, and can be completely utilized.

Even the corpses on the highway below the mountain—

However, Li Yuan hesitated for a moment and decided against it. He decided not to touch the human corpse for the time being, since the location had already been reported and the authorities would collect the body later.

However, the noise here is too loud, and the environment may not be suitable for the growth of the Extreme Yang Grass. Let's find a place to settle down first, and then come back to move these flesh and blood.

Li Yuan continued searching the hillside but found nothing else of value. So he picked up his backpack, took the meat, and left the hillside.

After descending the mountain, he did not leave immediately, but instead found a relatively secluded cave.

The cave is small, only six or seven square meters, but it is enough to shelter from the wind and rain.

He put the backpack and meat in the cave, then went back and brought back all the flesh and blood of the Thunder Scorpion.

It took more than two hours to finally move all of the Thunder Scorpion's flesh and blood over.

Li Yuan put the flesh and blood and the Extreme Yang Grass together, then sat down at the cave entrance to rest.

The fixed requirement for the term "temporary symbiosis" is to stay in the forest for 100 hours.

The Cloud Mist Mountain where he is now is a forest environment, which is perfect for killing time.

As for the [Yin Yang Double Thunder] entry, it's already fixed, so you can practice your proficiency anytime; there's no rush.

After thinking it over for a while, he took out a piece of scorpion meat, took out a lighter from his backpack, found some dry firewood at the entrance of the cave, and started a fire.

Without a pot, he used a bamboo knife to slice the meat into thin slices, skewered them on tree branches, and roasted them directly over the fire.

Soon, a strong aroma filled the air.

He took a bite; the meat was tender and juicy, with a unique sweet flavor that was more delicious than any meat he had ever eaten.

No wonder they say the flesh of demonic beasts is highly nutritious; it truly lives up to its reputation.

He ate heartily while secretly marveling at the food.

However, he soon discovered that the scorpion meat contained a faint energy.

As the meat was digested, the energy slowly seeped into his body, accelerating his recovery.

"nice one!"

Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he ate even faster.

He ate several pounds of meat before finally letting out a satisfied burp.

Just then, his phone vibrated. Lu Jiayin sent him another message, sounding very anxious, asking if the Thunder Scorpion's flesh was still there.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Li Yuan asked.

"Where are you? I'm coming right now. The Yang Yuan Fruit you owe me can be repaid with the meat of that scorpion," Lu Jiayin replied hastily.

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. Such a good thing?

He quickly went over and removed the shoe-shaped flesh from beside the Extreme Yang Grass, then replied: "Okay, I'm in a cave at the foot of Cloud Mist Mountain. I can't leave for the time being, so come and get it yourself."

"Okay, I'll try to get over within two hours," Lu Jiayin replied.

It seems that the meat of the Thunder Scorpion is more valuable than I thought.

Li Yuan thought of the faint energy he had sensed earlier.

Perhaps it's because I'm too strong that I don't feel much of a difference.

However, this kind of energy is a great tonic for people with weak strength.

Even if Lu Jiayin comes, she still has to leave me some food.

After resting for a while, he began practicing his knife skills near the cave entrance.

Now that we have plenty of time, it's the perfect opportunity to improve our swordsmanship.

Li Yuan drew his bamboo sword, closed his eyes, and actively triggered the [Listen to the Blade] skill.

In an instant, the sound from inside the blade became clear again.

After practicing all night, his understanding of the [Listening Blade] entry has deepened.

He could clearly hear the vibration frequency of the blade and feel the trajectory of the blade as it cut through the air.

The speed of the strike could be half a beat faster —

The way of exerting force can be more refined —

The angle of the blade needs to be adjusted —

He swung the knife again and again, adjusting it each time.

Every tiny error is exposed under the "Listening to the Blade" entry.

Time flew by as I focused on my practice.

As the sun gradually slanted westward from overhead, the light became increasingly soft.

He stopped practicing when the time on his phone showed noon, rested for half an hour, ate some scorpion meat, and then continued practicing.

Just then, several cars came down from the mountain and stopped right at the scene of the murder.

Immediately after, Lu Jiayin called: "I was delayed on the road for a while, where are you?"
