Chapter 24 The Lion Opens Its Mouth (3)

  Although the joint attack that time eliminated most of the demons in the human living area, the number of demons was far from just these. In areas outside of human habitation, many demons still lurked, a place known as the "Life Forbidden Zone", a desolate and uninhabitable place for humans. As for Shen Yanxiao and his group's current residence, although it had been cleaned up once before, most of the ones that were eliminated were low-level demons. Those high-level demons with shape-shifting abilities still hid in the human city, only they became very cunning, after each attack event, they would quietly leave the scene of the crime, making them difficult to capture.

  In the Longxuan Empire, the demonic beast was a terrifying existence. Any city that heard of someone being attacked by a demonic beast would immediately cause a huge stir.

  Shen Yan Xiao had a certain understanding of everything in this world during this period, and she also had some hearsay about the demon beasts. However, she was unclear how these ferocious creatures were related to her unsealing the seal.

  I need to absorb the power of the demon beast crystal core to recover my strength, and as long as my strength is restored, I can naturally help you unlock the next layer of seal.

  Shen Yan's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

  After the death of a demon, it will leave behind a magic core that stores power, and the beast also has a "core" that stores power, called a crystal core. The magic core is very popular because it can be synthesized on the weapons of practitioners of magic and internal energy, making them produce great power, and the more powerful the demon is after death, the stronger its magic core will be.

  But Crystal Core and Magic Core are different.

  The power in the magic core is very pure, and people can use it directly. However, the crystal core contains a very strong dark aura, although its power is also very powerful, but few people can resist the dark aura emanating from the crystal core.

  If someone uses a crystal nucleus synthesized weapon for an extended period of time, their body will soon be invaded by the dark aura within the crystal nucleus.

  To quote Shen Yanxiao's words, lightly it would be a descent into madness, and heavily it would be a heroic sacrifice.

  Only a few powerful spiritual masters have the guts to use crystal nuclei, and they only dare to use those that are lower than their own level.

  In any case, this thing called crystal nucleus is a waste of resources for people, eating it has no taste and throwing it away is a pity.

  She never thought that such a trivial thing would be the key to restoring her strength. All I can say is, in terms of taste, someone really has a heavy hand... a bit too heavy...

  "It's not difficult to get crystal nuclei, previously several countries joined forces to exterminate a large number of demon beasts, and a large batch of crystal nuclei were stored in the hands of various countries. These things are not wanted by many people now, and you can buy a large batch at an auction." Shen Yanxiao used the knowledge she had been studying during this period, no matter how heavy the repair taste was, anyway, this thing was not difficult to handle.

  The only problem now is...

  She is very poor!

  What an idiot! What a waste! What a professional rice worm!

  The Zhuque family would only take care of her food and clothing, how could they give her something called "pocket money"?

  Apart from the two pouches she had swindled from those two little maidservants earlier, Shen Yanshuo could be said to have clean sleeves, with her pockets being cleaner than her face. Although crystal nuclei were not as expensive as magic nuclei, they weren't worthless either. With the amount of money she currently had on hand, buying one or two low-grade crystal nuclei was still manageable.
