World of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats!

Chapter 285: Poison Backlash, Locke’s Crisis

[ Absorbing poison… ]

[ Absorption successful, automatic transformation… ]

[ Transformation failed, devouring host. ]

[ Ding, host constitution-1, Status: Poisoned. ]

“What the hell, are you playing with me?”

Locke was furious. He had just obtained a skill and he had failed to absorb the first poison?

Not only was his constitution-1, but he was also poisoned.

This was too much of a scam.

At this time, Hathaway, who had an abnormal flush on her face, suddenly snorted. Her body went soft and she fell into a deep sleep.

Although she had been poisoned for a total of five days, the two of them had done it nearly ten times.

Although Locke’s body was as strong as a bear, it was a little too much for him to handle. As for Hathaway, there was no need to mention her.

Hathaway’s body had already been severely overdrawn but because of the dragon tooth poison, she did not show it.

Fortunately, Locke brought Hathaway to Cloud City and at the price of the Divine Light Dragon, he asked Stevenson to cast a recovery spell to help Hathaway recover thus making up for the previous deficit.

Otherwise, in three years and three months, Hathaway would have been completely degenerated from a genius Beastmaster to a cripple.

When the three-year agreement expired, even if Hathaway did not die, she would become a living dead.

The mysterious old man wanted to anger Locke.

Only Locke, who hated him to the bone, could bring enough pressure and threat to his disciple.

Locke absorbed Hathaway’s poison and Hathaway immediately fell into a deep sleep.

After two consecutive battles, Hathaway’s body could not take it anymore.

The mysterious elder’s dragon tooth poison was not an ordinary poison. The Swamp Hydra, which had just obtained the ability to absorb the poison, was not able to control it. In the end, it backfired on Locke.

Locke felt his chest tighten and the nine dragon-snake transformations he had just obtained automatically activated.

A warm and cold current started a long chase with Locke’s body at the battlefield.

As a ninth grade demigod level technique, the quality of the nine changes of dragon and snake’s mana was definitely the highest level.

Locke was a fourth level Beastmaster but he had not even passed the first change during the transformation of the nine changes of dragon and snake.

The dragon tooth poison was one of the strange poisons in the world. Although it was not a match for the mana of the nine changes of dragon and snake, it could not be destroyed in a short time.

The two streams of mana were fighting inside Locke’s body. Half of Locke’s body was boiling hot and the other half was cold. It was like ice and fire.

Locke gritted his teeth and forcefully suppressed the chaotic genuine energy in his body. Steam rose from the top of his head.

It was like a bun that had just been steamed.

At this moment, Hathaway was sleeping soundly on the side. She thought of something in her sleep and a sweet smile hung on the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, the heat flow was forced to retreat by the ice-cold internal breath. It suddenly turned its head and plunged into Locke’s lower abdomen.

Little Locke suddenly rose like an angry dragon. An uncontrollable desire rushed to his head.

Without thinking, Locke was like a wild beast that had lost its mind. He lifted the quilt and pounced toward Hathaway.

Hathaway was sleeping soundly. She was frightened by the violent Locke and cried out repeatedly.

However, she was a little girl, an opponent of a strong man like Locke. She was like a poor little sheep that had been caught by a big bad wolf and swallowed by the skin and bones.

This battle was more intense than the previous ones.

Previously, it was Hathaway who had been poisoned. Although she was shy, her movements were skilled. Locke was the victim.

Now that the dragon tooth poison had been transferred to Locke, Hathaway had already returned to normal.

A little girl running into the crazed Locke. That scene could only be described as ravaging.

Fortunately, Locke’s physique was much stronger than Hathaway’s.

Although he was slightly poisoned, he was still far stronger than an ordinary person.

When the volcano erupted and the lewd poison was released, Locke recovered his calm and quickly realized the seriousness of the matter.

After Hathaway was poisoned, her consciousness had been muddled. Her mind was filled with images that were unsuitable for children and she rarely could calm down and think carefully.

Locke was different.

Taking advantage of the short sage’s time, Locke did not fall asleep. Instead, he forced himself to sit cross-legged with his tired body.

He circulated the dragon snake nine transformations with all his strength and surrounded his lower abdomen.

He could not let the lewd poison leave his lower abdomen.

Lewd poison hurt people invisibly. It was sinister and vicious, but at the same time, it was extremely secretive.

Before the poison was released, it was even beneficial to the body.

It could speed up the flow of energy and blood, and strengthen the body’s recovery ability.

Stevenson’s recovery spell could not even find traces of the obscenity poison. It could only help Hathaway replenish the source of her losses.

So, Locke did not dare to be careless.

Fortunately, the dragon snake nine transformations that the system rewarded was strong enough, and the position of his lower abdomen happened to be near the sea of energy.

Under Locke’s control, the pure energy stacked layer by layer.

Only when his abdomen was full and could not hold any more true energy did he stop.

At this moment, Locke only had 30% of his true energy left.

In other words, one dragon tooth poison had restrained 70% of Locke’s power.

“Let’s leave this place quickly.”

Locke opened his eyes and told Hathaway to pack her clothes.

A gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall.

Now that Hathaway’s Battle Beast had been poisoned to death, she was alone.

Locke had lost the Divine Light Dragon and 70% of his inner energy was restrained. His strength was less than half of his original strength.

Previously, when the city lord’s mansion came to look for trouble, Locke hid in the tavern and made love with Hathaway because he had enough confidence.

The only trump card he had now was the Swamp Hydra.

Although the Swamp Hydra was powerful, it had already been exposed. It was easy for others to target it.

Locke was a steady person. He did not have enough trump cards to immediately choose to leave this troublesome place.

The two put on their clothes, held hands, and slowly left the tavern. They began to stroll around Cloud City.

The more they prepared to run, the more they could not show it.

Especially now that they had lost their trump cards, they could not let others see their panic.

Otherwise, they would be courting death.

Locke was generous and bought a lot of clothes, bags, and cosmetics for Hathaway.

He even paid an expensive deposit in advance and reserved a pearl necklace.

There were more than twenty people following behind the two, taking up half of the street.

Hathaway turned around and found that there were too many followers. She frowned and said, “Help me send the things back first. Just put them in the hall. Don’t go upstairs. Otherwise, you’ll dirty my carpet.”

“Yes!”

The servants bowed and left.

“You said that they didn’t act normally. Not only did they go shopping, but they also ordered a necklace?”

In the city lord’s mansion, Reid touched the antique wine cup in his hand and sneered.

“Yes, it seems that they’re preparing to stay in Cloud City permanently. I’m afraid they won’t leave for a while.”

The messenger knelt on one knee and answered.

“Humph, stupid. Pass down the order, follow me out of the city and prepare for an ambush. This is a diversion. I’m certain that they’ll definitely leave the city today.”

Reid slowly put down the antique wine cup and revealed a confident smile.
