Chapter 6 - Extracting Materials
Smash!
With the shattering of glass, countless shards flew in all directions as the twisted monster burst into the room!
Its horrifying single eye locked tightly onto Lu Yu, who stood by the doorway. In a hoarse voice, it rasped,
“Fear me! Wail in despair! This is the difference between lowly humans and higher lifeforms. I will chew you up piece by piece and make you part of me. Consider it an honor…”
The spider monster spoke while watching Lu Yu, craving a glimpse of his terror.
That thrill of toying with prey—it was addictive!
But, to its disappointment, Lu Yu showed no panic whatsoever. He simply frowned and said impatiently:
“You done talking? Even after turning into an ugly spider, you still love to brag. Stick a rotor on your head and you might just fly into orbit.”
His tone was calm, but the contempt in his words was unmistakable, making the spider monster erupt in fury.
“You dare speak so arrogantly, you lowly human! I’ll tear you apart and devour you piece by piece!”
As soon as the words left its mouth, the spider monster lunged forward, all eight limbs moving in a grotesque motion. Its ghastly maw opened wide, ready to bite Lu Yu’s head off!
“As expected, after being infected, it’s acting more and more like a beast. I wonder if all those evil god spawn turn out like this…”
Lu Yu mused aloud, slowly raising his hand. An intense heat radiated from his palm.
“Hellfire Whip!”
At his command, flickering black flames materialized in the air, quickly weaving themselves into a flaming whip of darkness, which he firmly grasped.
Though the whip burned with scorching hellfire, it behaved like a docile kitten in Lu Yu’s grip—silent and obedient.
“Interesting.”
Lu Yu chuckled lightly. He raised his arm, and with a sharp snap, lashed the whip forward
Crack!
The whip sliced through the air with a resounding snap. Like a black blade, the flaming whip slashed down hard as the spider monster’s eyes filled with horror!
Snap—
Its twisted body was cleaved in two. The devastating blow hurled it against the wall, green-black blood gushing from the wound. But the hellfire ignited it instantly, stopping it from hitting the floor!
This was the true power of Hellfire—corrosive, incinerating, and consuming all life!
The monster’s lower half was severed. Its upper half stared wide-eyed, muttering in disbelief.
“Awakened…”
Before it could finish, its head was engulfed in black flames. It shriveled up instantly, like water drained from a corpse, and crumbled into ashes on the floor.
“Hellfire really is convenient. Burns the body and even cleans up after—it’s the perfect tool for murder and arson.”
Lu Yu rubbed his chin, quite pleased with the skill.
And just now, he had also activated the Life-Draining Aura!
A blood-red halo formed around his body. As the spider creature died, the aura pulsed and unleashed a strange suction force!
A stream of life energy surged out from the corpse and poured into Lu Yu, replenishing the energy spent by using the Hellfire Whip.
The excess energy even enhanced his physical stats. It felt just like gaining EXP in a video game.
“My strength’s gone up slightly… Is this the universe tempting me to go full man-eater and become the God-Emperor of Massacre?”
Clenching his fist, Lu Yu could feel the subtle changes in his body. The Absorption Aura was truly a god-tier skill!
He didn’t mind devouring enemy flesh to get stronger but blindly pursuing power through slaughter? That was the path to losing yourself.
Lu Yu didn’t want to be a puppet controlled by power. He wanted to be the master of it.
Walking up to the monster’s corpse, he extended his hand and whispered:
“Extract material!”
A white halo rippled outward and swept over the half-incinerated corpse, pulling forth a glowing orb of white light.
<Twisted Spider Venom Gland (Rare)
A mutation resulting from contact with an evil god’s aura. After transforming into a spider monster, a small number develop this gland. It carries a potent venom with paralyzing and bleeding effects.
Rating: ★(1 star)>
“A rare drop! With a venom gland this strong, I’m lucky it didn’t get close—would’ve been nasty!”
Lu Yu exclaimed joyfully and stored the material in his system’s inventory.
This was a precious find—he’d only had two materials so far, and this one was an absolute treasure!
What started as a fight to the death ended in a jackpot of loot!
If he could collect more of these rare venom glands, he might be able to craft monsters like Toxic Abominations, Corrosive Hydras, or even the legendary Nine-Headed Xiangliu.
With enough imagination, anything was possible!
[TL/N: Xiangliu (相柳) is a mythical creature from Chinese mythology, particularly known from ancient texts like the Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas).
Wherever Xiangliu went, it would poison the land and water, making areas uninhabitable. It was associated with floods, rot, and decay.]
Now, in Lu Yu’s eyes, those spider monsters weren’t threats anymore. They were walking treasure chests—easy to kill, high-quality loot. A dream come true!
But to create elite or higher-tier monsters, one venom gland wouldn’t cut it. He needed even more powerful materials…
Creak, creak, creak—
Just as Lu Yu was thinking, crawling sounds came from outside the window, growing louder.
They were accompanied by human screams and cries for help.
Lu Yu walked over and looked out the window and was met with a horrifying sight!
Thick black smoke now hung over the once-bustling cityscape. Skyscrapers were linked by massive strands of white spider silk, forming bridges in the sky. Twisted spider monsters crept along them!
“Help! I don’t want to die! Please, I have a wife and kids—let me go!”
A spider monster was holding a middle-aged man in a business suit. It climbed to the center of a massive web strung between buildings and, ignoring his pleas, flung him onto the sticky web, where he stuck fast!
“What is this?! Why are there giant spiders in the city? Where’s the Special Ops Division? Help me!”
The man struggled desperately, but the web held firm. His fear escalated as he screamed for help, his voice fading into the chaos…
