250: Chapter 250 Absorbing Special Energy...

Very quickly.

With two sounds akin to watermelons bursting, all four Amethyst Winged Lions inside the cave perished.

Ling'er, perched on Lin Mo's shoulder, leaped down happily.

Her nimble tail reached directly into the bodies of the Amethyst Winged Lions.

Soon, she extracted the four crystal cores.

She happily crawled back to Lin Mo's side and used her tail to offer the four crystal cores to him.

Lin Mo smiled and put away three of them, but left the last crystal core from the male Amethyst Winged Lion.

"You can take this one and eat it slowly."

After Lin Mo spoke, Ling'er's eyes lit up instantly.

She couldn't help but rub her small head against Lin Mo's cheek.

"However..."

Lin Mo looked at Ling'er thoughtfully. "I let you eat two other crystal cores before, didn't I?"

"Why hasn't your battle Rank increased?"

Lin Mo was slightly puzzled.

Previously, Ling'er had only eaten one Thorn Flower Demon crystal core before falling into a deep sleep.

Upon waking, she had even undergone molting and her strength had increased.

Now that she had eaten several crystal cores, logically speaking, it should be more than enough to increase her battle Rank by one level, right?

Why was there no reaction at all?

Ling'er rubbed her head against Lin Mo, and a slightly childish voice resonated in his mind.

"Wait... wait... to... together..."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "You mean you are accumulating energy, and you want to save enough before falling into a deep sleep to upgrade all at once?"

Ling'er nodded heavily, even resting her tail gently on Lin Mo's neck.

The tip of her tail twitched slightly, seemingly happy that Lin Mo understood.

"Alright then."

Lin Mo finally felt relieved.

"Let's go into the cave and see what exactly is attracting you."

The man and the snake went directly into the cave.

Upon entering, Lin Mo noticed the rock walls.

The inner walls of the cave were not ordinary rock, but a type of smooth, mirror-like stone that had been melted by high temperatures and then cooled, resembling obsidian.

Lin Mo could even see the reflections of himself and Ling'er in it.

Ling'er's eyes widened at this moment.

She kept looking at the reflection of Lin Mo and herself in the mirror.

A feeling of confusion was transmitted to Lin Mo's heart through their Soul connection.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Mo reached out and stroked Ling'er's head.

Ling'er's confused voice came through.

"I... I... and... Dad."

"Not... not... the same."

Lin Mo finally realized.

Had Ling'er been thinking all along that they were the same species???

But thinking about it, it seemed normal.

After all, since Ling'er was born, she had never seen her mother.

Luo Siyue and he were likely the first creatures she had seen.

Plus, she had signed a contract with him.

Perhaps Ling'er had always thought she was a human.

Lin Mo thought for a moment and said to her, "That's because Ling'er hasn't grown up yet."

"When you grow up in the future,"

"you will be a human just like Dad."

Lin Mo wasn't lying, either.

That creature Luo Li could transform into a human form.

Ling'er had his blood in her body, and her battle power and potential were even greater than Luo Li's.

As she continued to grow and become stronger, she would naturally be able to do this as well.

Ling'er's confusion quickly vanished, replaced by her nuzzling against Lin Mo's neck.

She began to feel expectant.

Lin Mo smiled and continued deeper into the cave.

A few seconds later, Lin Mo saw the thing that had attracted Ling'er.

A massive cluster of purple crystals protruded diagonally from the cave ceiling like spikes.

The smell of sulfur in the air became more intense, and the temperature rose significantly.

Lin Mo muttered, "This thing is so big?"

If he ate this, wouldn't he burst?

Ling'er, on his shoulder, shook her head and quickly dove down.

With a sweep of her tail, she latched onto something within the purple crystal cluster and forcibly yanked it out.

With a crack, the massive purple crystal cluster slowly lost its luster, turning into ordinary stone.

Ling'er used her tail to wrap around a special stone and handed it to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo looked closely.

It was only the size of a fist and had an irregular, polyhedral shape.

Its shell was translucent deep purple, while deep in its center was a mass of flowing, scarlet liquid.

It even seemed to have a rhythmic pulse, much like... a special Ore heart.

Lin Mo reached out and took it.

As soon as he held it, he discovered that its texture was extremely hard; although the surface felt warm and smooth, it contained extremely violent fire attribute energy within.

If thrown, it might explode like a bomb.

Lin Mo hesitated slightly.

This thing... could it really be eaten?

It didn't seem any different from swallowing live magma.

However, Lin Mo looked at Ling'er and chose to trust her instincts.

Furthermore, his talent was called Gluttony.

If he couldn't even eat this, what kind of Gluttony would he be?

Lin Mo put the object to his lips and took a light bite.

The hard texture transformed into something soft, like cake, while the substance inside, which contained the violent fire attribute energy, turned into a delicious, chocolate-lava-like filling.

"Mmm!"

"Refreshing!"

Lin Mo happily ate the delicacy in front of him bit by bit.

After swallowing the last piece, two lines of transparent text flashed before Lin Mo's eyes, just as he had expected.

[Gluttony Talent successfully fed, converted Experience Points + 300,000, Green Lotus Enlightenment gained Experience Points + 10,000]

[Devoured special energy, Fire Attribute Resistance + 1]

Lin Mo smiled.

One of these things could directly provide him with 300,000 Experience Points while also stacking Fire Attribute Resistance?

This thing was definitely a Heaven And Earth Treasure!

After all, Lin Mo's defensive and regenerative abilities, combined with the effects of his Saint Body Initial Qi, already gave him an absolute advantage in close-quarters combat.

The only relative weakness he had was dealing with long-range mages.

Long-range mages always had attribute specializations; for instance, Su Youwei specialized in the Dark Attribute.

And the long-range mage recognized for the most explosive damage output was, of course, the Fire Mage.

This item could stack Fire Attribute Resistance, which meant it could effectively reduce Fire Attribute damage!

This was fantastic!

Lin Mo was extremely excited and immediately picked up Ling'er.

"Let's go, let's go, let's continue to find the next one!"

Lin Mo was even looking forward to it.

This was only the first ten levels.

By the time he walked out of the Star Tower, just how monstrous would his stacked attributes be!

After leaving the cave, Lin Mo let Ling'er lead the way towards the location where her perception was strongest.

However, as they walked in that direction, Lin Mo was soon surprised to discover a mark unique to their Spark Squad along the path.

"Is it Luo Siyue?"

"Or perhaps..."

"Jiang Mengxi?"
