Chapter 505 - Mutated Skin
But from then on, Klein felt that there was something wrong with his skin.
It was as though he could endure excessive high or low temperatures. Even if he was injured, he wouldn"t feel any pain.
Cruise came to a sudden realization. Could it be because of the monster"s hard work?
Klein nodded gently. "That"s right. It should be because of this. It has formed a protective layer around my skin. At the very least, it can protect the surface in the face of extreme cold."
Klein fell into the lake. This protective mechanism was activated instantly, allowing him to escape.
This was truly a blessing in disguise. Klein felt that his luck was already off the charts.
After making sure that the items in his treasure bag weren"t damaged, Klein got up from the ground and prepared to return with the bag of treasures he had just obtained.
He patted Cruise on the shoulder. "This place is quite cold. Let"s hurry back!"
Since he had already obtained the items, he had accomplished the goal of this trip.
Back in the primordial s.p.a.ce, everyone was shocked.
At this moment, not only was Klein drenched, but his clothes and hair were covered in ice shards. It was as though he was about to be frozen.
Klein hurriedly waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. He only needed to take a shower to wash off the ice shards.
At this moment, a thin and weak body ran over. It was the little girl from before who had lost her memory.
Ever since Klein left, the little girl had been unable to eat or drink. She seemed to be very worried about Klein"s safety.
Seeing the little girl"s concern for him, Klein was also touched. He reached out and rubbed the top of the little girl"s head.
"You really are a pixie. I"ll bring you to eat some delicious food later!"
Seeing Klein return unscathed, many people were curious if he had really obtained the legendary Black Lotus Flower.
There were even some second-tier vendors who came to inquire first. They wanted to recycle it at a high price, but Klein dismissed them all.
Since he had already obtained the legendary Black Lotus Flower, he naturally had to make good use of it.
Even if he couldn"t refine the legendary Elixir of Immortality, he had to exchange it for a precious commodity of equal value.
Klein took out the formula he had picked up from his backpack and flipped to the last page. As expected, he saw records of the Elixir of Immortality.
It was said that apart from using the legendary Black Lotus Flower as a medicinal catalyst, seven other types of herbs or treasures were needed as ingredients.
Each of them was a rare item that was unlikely to be obtained.
Cruise asked, "Klein, are you really going to refine this Immortal Divine Medicine?"
Klein thought for a moment and said, "I"ll definitely have to consume it myself after refining it. Who wouldn"t want another chance at resurrection?"
Klein blinked, which reminded him.
That"s right, who wouldn"t want another chance to resurrect?
Now that the Black Lotus Flower on his body had become a target, would anyone attack him in order to s.n.a.t.c.h the Black Lotus Flower from him?
At that moment, Klein felt a strange sound approaching him from afar.
His heart stirred as he stood up and looked around. He didn"t find anything strange,
However, the sound was indeed getting closer. It sounded like the footsteps of a person.
Although it tried to be as gentle as possible, it still couldn"t escape Klein"s sharp ears.
He reached out and patted Cruise"s shoulder, giving him a careful look.
Following that, Cruise seemed to be pushed by a huge force as he staggered forward and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Aiyah, who pushed me?!"
He clearly remembered that there was no one around him. Where did this huge force come from?
At the instant Cruise was pushed to the ground, Klein grabbed a pair of invisible hands.
Then, he grabbed an item in the void and pulled hard. A curled-up figure appeared in front of the two of them...
It turned out that there was indeed someone quietly approaching them. However, this person was wearing an invisible cloak that completely concealed his figure!
He didn"t expect that his plot wouldn"t succeed. Instead, he was caught red-handed by Klein.
This person was naturally unwilling to give up. He pounced on Klein and gripped Klein"s neck with both hands.
This kind of close combat tactic was simply too clumsy in Klein"s eyes.
He kicked the person out, and with a clang, a heavy object fell to the ground.
Klein picked up the cloak on the ground and dusted it off.
This invisibility cloak was actually very rare. Klein had one before, but he had lost it for some reason.
Not bad. He had actually picked up a ready-made cloak.
And the person who had ambushed Klein this time was a thin, bald uncle.
This uncle didn"t seem to have much strength, and his combat strength was very weak.
His only advantage was the invisibility cloak he wore. Once he revealed his true form, he didn"t have any offensive power at all. He could only use the most primitive method to attack the enemy.
And at that moment, the bald uncle, who had been beaten to the ground by Klein, had a sad expression on his face. He seemed to be very unwilling.
Cruise got up from the ground and patted the dust off his body. His face was filled with anger.
"Aiyah, you"re still so unhappy. Using such a method to launch a sneak attack is simply despicable and shameless. Tell me, who are you!?"
Cruise, who had been pushed until his entire body was in pain, was naturally angry. He rushed forward and grabbed the other party"s collar tightly, as though he wouldn"t let this matter rest.
Seeing Cruise"s anger, the bald uncle was a little afraid as his body trembled.
"You... What do you want?"
"You even asked me what I want? You used the invisibility cloak to launch a sneak attack, so you must be up to something shady. Hurry up and tell me the truth!"
The bald uncle sniffled first. "I just want to take something. I don"t want to hurt you!"
Taking something? Klein blinked and instantly understood.
Klein asked, "Is the thing you want to take the legendary Black Lotus Flower?"
Klein understood when he saw the bald uncle nod involuntarily.
It seemed like the news of him obtaining the Black Lotus Flower had finally spread. It seemed like there would be endless trouble in the future.
Cruise spat. "What you"re saying is rather grand. What do you mean by taking something? What you"re doing is called stealing. This is extremely despicable!"
"Besides, Klein and I went through a lot of trouble to obtain the Black Lotus Flower. How can we give it to a stranger so casually? Is there something wrong with your brain?"
It was unknown when Cruise began to be especially protective.
No matter who wanted to hurt Klein, he would be the first to stand up for them. It was impossible for him to steal from Klein.
However, what the two of them didn"t expect was that the thief, who was supposed to be despicable and extremely wretched, suddenly burst into tears.
His cries shook the heavens, but Klein and Cruise couldn"t help but be stunned.
Seeing how aggrieved his aunt was, Klein had no choice but to ask Cruise to let go of him and help him up.
