Chapter 54: The Man-Faced Spider Breathing Technique!

Many people had the mentality of being lucky and greedy.

Levi’s contribution to this operation was worth two bottles of ambergris.

Even if Graff gave Levi two bottles of ambergris, he still had many bottles left for himself. However, he became greedy. He deserved to be punished. “Fortunately, I have long been wary of your small team and am strong enough.”

Ever since becoming an official knight, he discovered his strength was far more potent than imagined after his past battles. Besides the previous sneak attack by the mid-level knight assassin, he had fought against other knights without getting hurt.

His opponents had all been official knights, but the difference was too significant.

Hence, Levi did not dare to be arrogant and complacent. Instead, he learned that there would always be someone better than him.

Levi, out of danger, began cleaning up the battlefield.

First, there were 13 bottles of ambergris. Levi calculated that with his current dosage as an official knight, one bottle of ambergris was enough for him to use the secret medicine for a month. Hence, he would not be lacking ambergris for an entire year.

Before the end of this year, he should be able to step into the realm of mid-level knight and cultivate the Black Snake Breathing Technique to the fifth level.

At that time, the Special Effect would be upgraded again, and his strength would rise to another level!

After putting away the ambergris, Levi began to rummage through Graff’s body. This person seemed to have platforms to obtain ambergris. Levi guessed that Graff might be a smuggler of ambergris between the Tuva Empire and the Emerald Kingdom.

In the end, he found nothing besides finding over a hundred gold coins.

“D*mn, what a broke man.”

That said, no one would carry much money with them under normal circumstances. That would be too inconvenient.

Levi went to the Red Spider Knight, who had been dismembered. He was very curious about the Red Spider Knight’s poison refining technique, so he wanted to see if any secret manuals could give him some experience.

Unexpectedly, he found it.

“What a woman. She keeps all the good stuff under her breasts,” Levi said, looking at the pile of bottles and jars stained with blood. These were the ingredients used to make poison.

Other than that, there were dozens of gold coins and a piece of parchment.

On the parchment was a breathing technique inheritance diagram.

This breathing technique was called the Man-Faced Spider Breathing Technique.

There were tiny people with different postures and movements surrounding a strange-looking red spider that was as big as a house and had eight human faces. This should be the Man-Faced Spider, a terrifying and strange existence in the legends.

Levi stared at it. This breathing technique was a little strange. It did not focus on the usual attributes that Levi was familiar with, such as strength, physique, defense, and speed. Instead, it focused on a very magical aspect: Perception.

The concept of Perception was highly mysterious. One could sense the subtle vibrations of gases, liquids, and solid objects coming from all directions through the hairs and skin on one’s body.

Any movement within the range of Perception could be sensed without needing vision and hearing through Perception.

In short, this was a necessary skill for blind people.

But this breathing technique was the weakest among all the basic breathing techniques.

That was why the Red Spider Knight was so weak. In Levi’s opinion, this was a purely supplementary breathing technique. It was an extremely specialized breathing technique to enhance a combat breathing technique. Otherwise, it would be useless, no matter how strong one’s Perception was. “Interesting. It’ll be worth practicing.”

Then, Levi put away the breathing technique inheritance diagram.

The Man-Faced Spider Breathing Technique also had a secret medicine that was slightly special. It was not used to assist cultivation but to poison. That was why the Red Spider Knight had mastered many tricky and dangerous poison formulas.

Then, Levi went to the Green Falcon Knight and Black Rhino Knight corpses. Unfortunately, there were no breathing technique inheritance diagrams, only a few gold coins. Originally, Levi wanted the breathing technique that the Green Falcon Knight cultivated, but now it seemed that he could only give up.

Under normal circumstances, people would not carry the breathing technique inheritance diagram with them. The Red Spider Knight had to take it with her because the poison formulas she needed were all on the inheritance diagram.

Nonetheless, the Black Rhino Knight’s armor, shield, and greatsword were not bad, so Levi took them without hesitation.

After looting, Levi humanely cremated them to prevent them from being preyed on by wild beasts.

Finally, Levi set his eyes on the hill-like corpse of the Earthly Dragon Beast.

He was most worried about how to bring back this corpse worth at least a thousand gold coins.

The Earthly Dragon Beast was more significant than any existing terrestrial mammalia Levi had seen in his previous life. It would be difficult for him to bring such a big fellow back to his territory.

However, he would never leave the Earthly Dragon Beast’s corpse here.

That was simply a waste of a treasure. The Earthly Dragon Beast was a treasure, and Levi had already considered its use.

Since Levi was not in a hurry to return to his territory, he began dealing with it after managing the four corpses.

The scales on the Earthly Dragon Beast’s body were tough. Levi spent a lot of effort prying the scales of the giant dead beast and cutting its stomach open. He took off the scales of the Earthly Dragon Beast one by one and piled them together. Besides ambergris, this should be the most precious part of the Earthly Dragon Beast’s body. After polishing these scales, they could be used to make armor. Although their hardness might be inferior to iron armor of the same thickness, they were light and could be made into high-quality scale armor.

Levi wanted to use the most rigid scales on the Earthly Dragon Beast’s back to forge a set of armor for himself, and the rest would be for Sir Fred and the three brothers.

However, the three brothers were still growing, and their bodies changed yearly. Therefore, Levi could only wait until they were fully developed before he forged their armor. By then, Levi would have three fully armored war bears with the strength of a high-level knight. They would be invincible in battles!

Levi patiently dealt with the Earthly Dragon Beast’s corpse in the wilderness. The bloody smell of the corpse attracted some wild beasts, but they were all killed by Levi and consumed as food.

Just like that, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

It took Levi three days to pry off all the scales. The Black Rhino Knight’s greatsword that he used was somewhat deformed.

However, looking at the massive pile of scales on the ground, Levi was satisfied. Although the flesh of the Earthly Dragon Beast had not decayed after such a long time, it had been contaminated by the Red Spider Knight’s poison. Levi could painfully let them go to waste. Otherwise, he would have liked to taste the meat of the Earthly Dragon Beast. It was worth mentioning that Levi also found dozens of gold coins in the stomach of the Earthly Dragon Beast.

This reminded him of the legend that the Earthly Dragon Beast liked to collect shiny things. He immediately looked at the Earthly Dragon Beast’s nest in the distant forest. Unfortunately, he was disappointed. Besides a few corpses, there was nothing inside. In the end, he could only leave resentfully.

After returning to the territory, Levi washed the Earthly Dragon Beast’s skin and dried it to make bags. He then filled the bags with scales and found the carriage they had abandoned earlier, filling it up with scales and the dismantled Armor-Breaking Crossbow. He headed in the direction they came from.

The Armor-Breaking Crossbow was mighty, and Levi wanted to find time to replicate it when he returned.

This time, he did not return to the Icewind City. He went to retrieve the gold coins he had buried. After that, he took a long detour. After half a month, he finally arrived at the Black Water Valley..
