Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

63 Sky Spring

Lu Yu sat beside the corpse of the B-class Fearsome Beast, the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros and planned to start refining it.

The Blood-sucking Rhinoceros in front of him had already reached B-class, and it was a Blood-sucking Rhinoceros at the prime of its life.
It was extremely strong and powerful.

Moreover, it was one of the ingredients needed for the Sky Valley Culinary Method.
Eating it would be of great help to improving one’s strength.

It had been a day since he left Lunan City.
After a day of marching and fighting, the exertion made Lu Yu a little hungry.

After awakening his Gluttony Talent, Lu Yu’s appetite had clearly increased by a lot.
In particular, his craving for the meat of high-level Fearsome Beasts had become very strong.

However, although he was hungry, Lu Yu didn’t roast it directly to eat.
Although it would bring him quite a good increase in his powers, it was still limited.

Only by cooking according to the Sky Valley Culinary Method and combining it with his Gluttony Talent could Lu Yu obtain the greatest improvement and maximize his benefits directly.

Lu Yu activated the A-class skill Red Lotus Battle Energy straightaway.
Using the Red Lotus True Fire, he roasted and grilled the meat of the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros, extracting the butter fat within.

Under the high temperature, the meat of the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros was cooked in a short while, and the butter fat flowed out.

As Lu Yu packed all the butter fat away, he took a bite.

The scalding hot butter fat was extremely greasy, but there was a refreshing sweetness in it.
It was extremely magical.

At the same time, a notification appeared in front of Lu Yu.

[Ding! Detected that host has eaten Bloodthirsty Rhinoceros Butter Fat (B-class).
Congratulations on obtaining: Bloodlust (B-class)!]

When he saw the notification, Lu Yu was a little surprised.
He didn’t expect that he would straightaway obtain a new skill after eating a mouthful of the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros’ butter fat, and it was a B-class skill no less!

Lu Yu hurriedly read through the effects of his newly acquired skill.

[Bloodlust]

Level: B-class

Effect: Passive skill.
After encountering blood in battle, it can automatically absorb this blood to recover its strength and health vitality!

Lu Yu was quite surprised to read this.

Although it was a B-class skill and wasn’t as high-level as the few A-class skills that Lu Yu had already obtained, this Bloodlust skill wasn’t weak at all.

In battle, as long as it came into contact with the other party’s blood, it would be able to automatically absorb it and recover the host’s health vitality and strength.
It was a recovery skill that made use of battles to replenish one’s strength in order to continue to battle.

It wasn’t much help in terms of increasing his combat strength, but it would be of great help to Lu Yu in continuous battles.

Lu Yu understood very clearly the importance of this new skill, Bloodlust.

In ordinary tests of strength and competitions, it might not be of much use.
After all, the results would be determined or the outcome would be decided fairly quickly.

However, in a real battle, such as when the Fearsome Beasts attacked the city or when they encountered a battle in the blood-sucking wasteland, this Bloodlust skill would be of great use.

After all, even if one’s combat strength was formidable, there would come a time when one’s strength or health vitality become exhausted when fighting many enemies or Fearsome Beasts continuously.

However, with Bloodlust, things would be different.
He would be able to replenish his energy while fighting at the same time, continuously recovering his strength and health vitality.

Lu Yu didn’t know the exact extent of this recovery rate.
He would only know when he experienced it in person.

By his estimate, if it was a B-class skill, Lu Yu believed that the recovery rate would not be low.
In fact, it was very likely that there would be a pleasant surprise for him.

Coming back to his senses, Lu Yu looked ahead at what was before him.

There was still a lot of butter fat left over from the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros that had just been extracted.
He had only taken one bite just now.

However, Lu Yu didn’t continue eating.
According to his previous experience, this kind of skill that could elevate his skills was usually only useful when eaten for the first time.
It was almost useless on subsequent consumption, so there was no need to continue eating it.

Lu Yu carefully put away the remaining majority of the butter fat of the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros.
This was one of the ingredients needed for the second cooking method of the Sky Valley Culinary Method, and also one of the main purposes of Lu Yu’s trip to the blood-sucking wasteland.

In addition, more than half of the corpse of the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros still remained.
When Lu Yu extracted the butter fat just now, he only used a small portion of the corpse and was able to obtain quite a lot of butter fat.

The Blood-sucking Rhinoceros was a strength-type of Fearsome Beast.
If he ate it, he reckoned it would probably be able to help him increase his strength by quite a bit with the help of the Gluttony Talent.
It was no doubt a good resource.

However, at this moment, Lu Yu and the others were still on an adventure in the blood-sucking wasteland and didn’t have so much time to roast and eat.

Lu Yu could only put away the flesh of this Blood-sucking Rhinoceros for the time being.
He would cook them to eat and improve his strength when he had time later.

After putting the remaining parts of the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros corpse into his storage ring, Lu Yu stood up in satisfaction.

This time, he had gained a lot from dealing with this Blood-sucking Rhinoceros.

Firstly, he had obtained a recovery-type B-class skill, Bloodlust.
Secondly, he had obtained one of the important ingredients needed for the Sky Valley Culinary Method, which was the butter fat of the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros.
Finally, there was also the remnant corpse of the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros, which could bring Lu Yu a good increase in strength.

After packing up everything, Lu Yu went to look for Qin Yong and the others to continue on their way.

The blood-sucking wasteland was filled with danger, so naturally they didn’t stay here for long.
They had to advance as soon as possible to rescue that important person and return to Lunan City as soon as possible.

Lu Yu led Qin Yong and the others further into the blood-sucking wasteland, edging closer towards the person they had to rescue.

Gradually, as Lu Yu and the others went deeper into the blood-sucking wasteland, they arrived at the core area of the blood-sucking wasteland.

By dusk, Lu Yu and the others had passed by the Sky Spring.

As its name suggested, the Sky Spring was a spring that cascaded from an extremely steep cliff.
As it was too high and steep, it looked as if it had fallen from the sky, so it was called the Sky Spring.

At such a high altitude, it should have formed a rapidly gushing waterfall, but the amount of water that fell was very small.

Although it fell from a very high place, the speed of water flow was very fast.
However, the volume was not big, and it resembled a bubbling spring.
It was really magical.

“Is this the Sky Spring? It looks amazing.”

“Other types of spring water come from underground, but this spring water falls from the sky.
How magical.”

“I heard that the spring water from the Sky Spring is extremely chilly.
It can be drunk directly and tastes refreshingly sweet.
It’s said that drinking it is beneficial to the body!”

“I heard about that too.
But it is said that powerful Fearsome Beasts are usually attracted to the Sky Spring so that place is very dangerous.”

“Really? Then what should I do? I want to go for a drink.
I don’t want to go if there’s danger.”

“…”

The few of them discussed in low voices and hesitated.
They wanted to go up and drink the spring water from the Sky Spring, but they were afraid that it would be dangerous.

Qin Yong couldn’t help looking at Lu Yu, then he said awkwardly, “Captain, we’ve already exhausted our water supply.
We haven’t found any other water sources nearby for the time being, but if we go to this Sky Spring, we may encounter danger.
What should we do?”

The other team members also looked at Lu Yu after listening to Qin Yong.

Lu Yu was their captain and also the strongest among them.
During the day, Lu Yu had easily dealt with the B-class Fearsome Beast, the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros.
As long as Lu Yu nodded his agreement, they would naturally be emboldened to go and get water from the Sky Spring.

Apart from rescuing people, the most important thing for Lu Yu to do on this trip to the blood-sucking wasteland was to collect ingredients.
The spring water from the Sky Spring was one of these ingredients, so how could he pass up on the opportunity?

However, considering that there might be danger, Lu Yu eventually said, “How about this? The few of you can rest here for a while and take on guard duty at the same time.
I’ll help you get the water.
If you hear any commotion, do not come over unless I yell for you.
Do you understand?”
