267: Chapter 267 The Devouring Demon Jar?!

Lin Mo turned to look at Xiao Xun.

Upon discovering that Xiao Xun looked very serious, Lin Mo realized that she still possessed the mindset of a student.

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Do you think we should take him back and send him to your teacher?"

"And what kind of result do you think that would have?"

Xiao Xun was slightly stunned; she really hadn't thought about this question.

So, after thinking for a second, she said softly, "The teachers would definitely be very angry and thoroughly investigate the Jiang Family."

"And then?"

Hearing Lin Mo ask this, Xiao Xun frowned slightly, "And then... shouldn't we settle accounts with the Jiang Family?"

Lin Mo smiled, "But have you ever thought that since the Jiang Family dared to let Jiang Wu attack us, they must have prepared for it?"

"Items cannot be used within the Star Tower, and one is responsible for their own life and death, which also means that after leaving the Star Tower, only our two testimonies can prove all of this."

"The Jiang Family can completely deny it."

"Although Elder Luo is outside the Star Tower, I think that for the Star-Plucking Society to be so rampant, they must have means to influence Elder Luo."

"Otherwise, the Star-Plucking Society would have been eradicated long ago."

"Taking a step back, even if we could prove that Jiang Wu colluded with the Star-Plucking Society."

"Do you think the Jiang Family wouldn't sacrifice a pawn to save the rook?"

"As long as they dump all the blame on Jiang Wu, the Jiang Family will naturally be safe."

"After all, being called one of the Five Great Families, I believe the Jiang Family still has influence in Shengjing City."

"A mere Jiang Wu is not enough to drag them all down with him."

Xiao Xun was stunned on the spot.

Lin Mo's words were very impactful to her.

At the very least, it was content she had never thought about before.

Seeing Xiao Xun lost in thought, Lin Mo continued.

"Taking another step back, even if that were the case, you still decided to send him out. Then the problem arises: we are currently on the 15th floor."

"Are you or I willing to quit the Star Tower challenge and take Jiang Wu out?"

Xiao Xun subconsciously shook her head.

Right now, she had finally reached the 15th floor, just one step away from clearing it.

How could she be willing to quit now?

What's more, the goal her teacher set for her was the 18th floor.

"Since neither of us is willing, we can only let Jiang Wu teleport out himself. By then, he will twist the truth, and his credibility will be even lower."

Lin Mo's mouth curled up slightly. "So, I am merely making use of waste."

"Since there's no way to send him out, then send him to his death. Once he's dead, the talent will naturally dissipate."

"It's better to extract his remaining value and extract his talent."

Xiao Xun nodded thoughtfully, but she quickly remembered another matter and hurriedly said to Lin Mo.

"But... this extracted talent cannot be transferred to others without the methods of the Star-Plucking Society."

"I heard my teacher say that they have intercepted members of the Star-Plucking Society before, but precisely because of the lack of a transfer method, the obtained talent items were ultimately wasted."

Lin Mo smiled and nodded, "It doesn't matter, just consider it as learning the methods of the Star-Plucking Society."

Although Lin Mo said so, he had other plans in his heart.

It is indeed very complicated to graft this talent onto someone else without the assistance of the Star-Plucking Society.

However.

Lin Mo had another method.

That was his own Gluttony Talent.

Since Jiang Wu is going to die anyway, extract his talent and see if his own Gluttony Talent can directly convert and absorb it!

If it doesn't work, there is no loss for himself.

But if it succeeds, then he will have made a huge profit!

Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't wait to place the jar on Jiang Wu's head.

A terrifying suction force seemed to come from the jar.

It was constantly sucking something from Jiang Wu's body.

Time passed second by second.

In the blink of an eye, 10 minutes had passed, and even in a coma, Jiang Wu's face showed an extremely painful expression.

It could be seen that this process of stripping the talent was extremely cruel to the original owner.

A look of unbearable pity appeared on Xiao Xun's face, but then she thought, if Lin Mo hadn't appeared, she would be the one enduring this pain right now.

Her hostility towards the Star-Plucking Society deepened.

Just when Lin Mo was wondering if it was over, dense cracks began to appear on this seemingly ordinary earthen pottery jar.

Crack!

Finally, accompanied by a crisp sound.

The earthen pottery jar shattered, revealing a black crystal the size of a fist inside.

And the moment this crystal appeared, Ling'er on his arm transmitted an extremely excited emotion.

It was a longing far exceeding the past.

Even Lin Mo could feel that Ling'er, in her sleeping tattoo state, was trembling slightly because of her intense longing.

Lin Mo was overjoyed and reached out, grabbing the crystal in his hand.

"Is this the materialized talent?"

Xiao Xun looked at it with curiosity.

Lin Mo also carefully observed the crystal in his hand.

This crystal core was the size of a fist, its outer shell revealed a translucent deep black, and its texture was hard, just like a black diamond carefully polished.

On the surface of the crystal core, a few golden starlight marks faintly appeared.

Inside, one could see a miniature silhouette.

This figure looked like a man who had activated Demon Descent.

However, his facial features were not Jiang Wu's.

Xiao Xun also noticed this point, and she couldn't help but mutter.

"The appearance of this silhouette should be the original owner of this Demon Descent talent, right?"

"This kind of talent that is forcibly stripped..."

"It is really too cruel to the original owner..."

Although she knew that the Star-Plucking Society never left survivors, the original owner of this talent had most likely already died.

And even if they hadn't died, this talent couldn't be returned to them.

But Xiao Xun still couldn't help but sigh.

After all, she almost became a target for the Star-Plucking Society to extract talent from.

"This jar seems quite simple to use."

"It's a pity that this talent can only be kept for appreciation for two days."

Lin Mo carefully looked at it and couldn't help but sigh, then put it into his Storage Pouch.

Subsequently, Lin Mo's gaze fell on the shattered jar.

Just now, Lin Mo noticed that after the jar shattered, it seemed to reveal something different.

Picking up a piece of the jar.

Lin Mo was somewhat surprised to find that this jar indeed looked ordinary from the outside.

But from the fractured cross-section, one could discover.

This was not a pottery jar.

To be accurate, it was a bone jar.

It was just that the exterior was covered with pottery clay.

Lin Mo frowned slightly and took out a small knife to scrape off the outer layer of pottery clay.

Only then did he discover that on this bone jar, there were also extremely fine golden star map patterns carved.

But this was not what shocked Lin Mo the most.

What truly shocked Lin Mo was.

On the inside of this bone jar, after the pottery clay was scraped off.

It actually revealed a ghost face that was half-crying and half-laughing.

This is...

swallowing heaven devil jar?
