Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 238 - 153: 72 Blood Demons

The tongue’s impatient words made Chu Xiu raise an eyebrow slightly.

He was well aware of the tongue’s cunning nature. If this thing was truly important to it, it would certainly pretend to be indifferent, then gradually negotiate with him. So why was it acting so obvious now?

Seemingly aware of Chu Xiu’s suspicion, the tongue angrily spoke up, "Why are you so suspicious, kid? I only chose to tell the truth because I know that no matter what tricks I try, I can’t fool you."

"I didn’t expect that my first attempt at honesty would be met with such guarded distance from you. It really breaks my heart!"

Chu Xiu certainly didn’t believe the tongue’s act. He simply pondered for a moment and then said, "Do you know Oswell?"

The tongue snorted coldly, "Just a sycophantic bastard. Didn’t expect him to end up like this, hehe, serves him right. That’s what you get for crossing me!"

Chu Xiu wanted to retort that the tongue wasn’t much better off now, but he held back. He continued, "Tell me the specifics. What is this thing, and what does it do?"

"Hehe, give me that finger to eat, and I’ll tell you," the tongue let out a greedy laugh, "As I said, this finger is incredibly valuable to me. Give it to me, and according to the rules, you can ask for any secret you want."

"Can I ask about the whereabouts of the [Legendary] equipment?"

"Sure, but I don’t know where the other [Legendary] equipment is," the tongue flipped over and continued frankly, "You might not know about the construction of us Blood Demons. All our knowledge and power come from blood, and before I was cast down, I was only given knowledge related to Corpse Demon City."

"So, you’re useless to me, right?" Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu showed no mercy and put the finger away.

The tongue panicked and quickly said, "Wait, like I said, our knowledge and power as Blood Demons come from blood. Once I absorb that finger, I can obtain some of its residual memories, and maybe it contains what you need!"

"And I can use the special sense of the Blood Demon to help you find other components!"

The tongue’s earlier words were ignored by Chu Xiu; he wasn’t buying any fantasies. However, the last part did pique his interest.

"You can find other components?"

The tongue flipped repeatedly, "As long as it’s within a certain range, I can sense it!"

Chu Xiu pondered for a while before saying, "I’ll trust you this time, but if you’re lying, be prepared to spend eternity in my storage space."

The tongue hurriedly promised.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu didn’t say much more. He flicked his finger, and the finger landed beside the tongue.

If it really could locate other components, Chu Xiu might use it to pinpoint the exact location of the military district. Even if the military district couldn’t be found, he could still gather experience from those abyssal creatures polluted nearby.

As the finger fell, the tongue rushed over impatiently. A large amount of blood threads surged from its tongue, quickly wrapping around the finger and forming a large, blood-red cocoon.

At the same time, Chu Xiu was surprised to find that the tongue’s [Resurrection Progress] began to skyrocket!

This caused Chu Xiu to fall into thought, recalling how the tongue exhibited this special attribute the first time he fed it blood.

Previously, with his continuous feeding of high-quality blood, the tongue’s resurrection progress had reached nearly seventy percent.

Now, as the finger was digested, the value increased at a visibly rapid pace!

76%, 81%, 85...

In a short amount of time, it shot up to 90%! And by the time the first phalanx of the finger was completely digested, the resurrection progress reached one hundred percent!

At the moment the resurrection progress was filled, a large amount of crimson blood threads surged from the tongue, soon wrapping it entirely. These threads continued to weave, eventually forming a humanoid figure made of countless blood threads!

This creature had no facial features, its hollow eye sockets fixedly gazing at Chu Xiu, filling him with an inexplicable sense of unease from the depths of his soul.

With a thought, the spiritual light of the Nether Demon Eyes gathered in Chu Xiu’s eyes, and a panel appeared.

[Newborn Blood Demon]

[Tier] Mortal Tier Level 3

[Attributes] Constitution 3.1, Spirit 9.5, Energy Level 4.8

[Skills] None

[Traits] None

[Talent] Blood Devouring

A very weak creature, but as the finger continued to be digested, its level was rapidly increasing.

Once the tongue fully digested it, the blood threads on its body solidified considerably. The creature’s features even began to faintly show, and its level had risen to Mortal Tier Level 7.

"Haaa—"

The tongue let out a sound of pleasure as the blood threads on its body spread outward, as if finally regaining a body after countless ages of dormancy. It absorbed everything around it greedily, like a traveler finding an oasis in the desert.

However, Chu Xiu’s cold voice cut through its reverie.

"So, did you find any information I want?"

The tongue snapped back to reality, squeezing a flattering smile onto its featureless face as it sidled up to Chu Xiu, "My Lord, Oswell’s rank wasn’t high to begin with, ranking last among the Seventy-Two Blood Demons. And after so long, I really couldn’t extract any useful information."

"But please rest assured, my Lord! As long as I devour enough components, I will one day unearth all the opportunities this guy had for you, my Lord!"
