Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 237: Chapter 152: Pollutants_3

As the old man was pondering, Chu Xiu finished his search.

The two General Tier Resurrected Corpses tore open the Water Ghost Nest completely and slaughtered all the Water Ghosts inside.

At the end, there was an Elite Level Fierce Tier Water Ghost Queen responsible for reproduction. After it was slain, the massive energy improved the resurrection progress of the two significantly, and two Fierce Ghosts were born in the process.

Inside the belly of that Water Ghost Queen, Chu Xiu found a strange object wrapped in a large amount of mucus.

At his signal, a Fierce Ghost materialized and floated up, holding a mass of unknown object emitting a strong foul odor in its sharp claws.

The smell was like a mix of decayed food and gastric acid fermenting for days; it immediately made everyone present frown, with Xue Li and Su Jinyu unable to stop themselves from covering their noses.

Chu Xiu examined the object, then flicked it lightly, and the Jade Poison Corpse Fire crawled up its edge. Under the burning flames, the outer layer of mucus slowly melted, and the suspiciously gastric bag-like object was also burnt open, revealing a yellow-green mass inside.

The odor became even stronger under the roasting flames. Xue Li looked as if he was about to vomit and retreated nearly a hundred meters backward, while Su Jinyu, though looking uncomfortable, managed to stand where she was, staring intently at the item in the Fierce Ghost’s hands.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Chu Xiu approached expressionlessly and calmly reached out to grab something from the depth of the yellow-green mixture, then shook it in the lake.

Soon, a long, slender object appeared before him, surprisingly a jet-black slender finger!

This finger was extremely solid, with its nails exhibiting an eerie dark purple. As the mucus encasing it was washed away, waves of nausea surged in Chu Xiu’s heart.

”Is this ’Pollution’?”

Fortunately, his mental resistance ability was exceptionally high, surpassing even most General Tier Awakeneds, allowing him to examine the finger as if nothing had happened.

Soon, related item information appeared before Chu Xiu.

[Finger of the Blood Demon Oswell]

[Description: Continuously emits pollution around it, prolonged contact leads to uncontrollable mutations.]

A Blood Demon’s finger?

Chu Xiu’s heart was slightly moved, for he still had a Blood Demon’s tongue and gastric bag in his storage space.

Though not from the same Blood Demon.

After examining it for a while, and finding no clues, Chu Xiu handed the finger to the others.

Everyone took turns looking at it, all confused, and ultimately turned their gaze to Su Jinyu.

”A Blood Demon is a high-level creature born from blood, but Blood Demons born from different blood differ greatly, from strength, tier, even appearance, and talent.”

”This place is the domain of the ’Endless Blood Pool’. If this Blood Demon was born from the core blood of the pool, its tier should be extremely high! At the very least, a King Tier, possibly even a Heroic Spirit Tier!”

Su Jinyu’s words made everyone much more serious. The Endless Blood Pool belonged to an ancient God; how could a being born from divine blood be low tier?

”Then can we use this to locate the military district?” Huang Guanshi asked.

Su Jinyu paced the lakeside a few times, thought for a while, and shook his head regretfully: ”Probably not, this seems to be an independent [Pollutant].”

”Alright.” Everyone was somewhat disappointed.

”So can I have my thing back now?”

At this moment, Chu Xiu’s calm voice resonated.

The old man glanced at him without speaking as Su Jinyu quickly ran over and returned the finger.

This made the old man shake his head helplessly, thinking that though this young girl seemed mature for her age, sometimes she still showed herself as an inexperienced college student. It was too honest, just handing back a high-tier item like that. He had intended to find an excuse to keep it.

After all, this item was their only clue at the moment, and being a special item, it also held high trade value if taken back.

However, by now he had no intention of causing a disturbance and turned to lead the group away on the Flying Insects of Horror.

They seemed to plan on searching nearby for other Blood Demon parts to see if they could find any clues.

Once the silhouette of the Flying Insects of Horror completely disappeared, Chu Xiu looked down again at the finger in his palm, with a thoughtful expression.

He thought of the tongue.

”Being from the same Blood Demon, perhaps it has some information?”

”But it’s uncertain whether the tongue still has secrets to reveal after the Awakened Trial is over.”

Chu Xiu glanced at the sky; the sun was gradually setting, and night was about to fall.

Subsequently, he continued searching for other sources of pollution in the vicinity. However, searching at night proved to be significantly more difficult, and after wandering for a long time without finding anything, he eventually stopped looking and found a cave to rest and regather physical strength.

By midnight, a familiar commotion echoed from the storage space.

Chu Xiu smiled slightly, turned his hand, and threw a sticky tongue onto the ground.

Instantly upon emerging, it let out a shrill cry of urgency:

”I’ve sensed it! You’ve found the body of that beast Oswell!”

”Give it to me! Give it to me! I can exchange it for any secret you wish!”
