Sacrificing Extraordinary Items

"Night patrols are dangerous, but usually, evil spirits only enter the village once every ten days or half a month. A'Chen, nothing should have happened last night."

With this in mind, the Witch Doctor Master questioned two Barbarians.

Only a moment later, a horrified voice rang out from there.

"What did you say? A'Chen actually went outside the Totem Pillar to hunt evil spirits? Why didn't you stop him?"

Such scolding left the two Barbarians feeling helpless.

"Witch Doctor Master, I wanted to stop him, but A'Chen's strength is too great, we couldn't stop him at all!"

Compared to the Witch Doctor Master's shock at Lu Chen going out to hunt evil spirits, Da Shi, the Clan Chief beside him, was shocked that Lu Chen had killed three evil spirits and a White Wanderer Level Evil Spirit in one night.

"I remember that without the suppression of the Totem Pillar, it's not easy for a Barbarian Blood Warrior to deal with even a Remnant Soul. A'Chen actually killed three Remnant Souls in one night, and also killed a White Wanderer Level Evil Spirit. Such vitality is comparable to me, a Warrior with a Barbarian Body. Is a Warrior who has awakened their bloodline this strong?"

Da Shi sighed, but these words made the Witch Doctor Master even more panicked.

"A'Chen is someone who has awakened his bloodline, of course he should be strong, but that's why we can't afford to lose him even more. The Ancestral Land no longer cares about small villages like ours. A'Chen is our village's only hope."

The Clan Chief did not refute the Witch Doctor Master's words, obviously, after learning about Lu Chen's actions last night from the two Barbarians, he was completely convinced of Lu Chen's potential.

But at the same time, he had the same thought as the Witch Doctor Master.

"In these increasingly dangerous times, the village cannot lose A'Chen. He is indeed the village's only hope."

"No, I have to find A'Chen, I can't let him take any more risks."

Because of Lu Chen's potential, neither the Clan Chief nor the Witch Doctor dared to let Lu Chen take any more risks.

Lu Chen was not yet aware of this. At this moment, Lu Chen had already returned home.

After arriving home, Lu Chen found that his house, although still somewhat simple, was much cleaner. Obviously, after Lu Chen left last night, the girl named Xiao Wei had been busy.

Without feeling guilty about using child labor, Lu Chen went to wash up first after returning home, and asked Xiao Wei to cook.

While cleaning his body, Lu Chen also sighed.

"As expected, being served is more comfortable."

After cleaning his body, Lu Chen did not go out, but picked up the Small Drum in his hand.

System prompt: Does the host want to spend 50 Experience Points to appraise this item?

"No."

Last night, while the two Barbarians were patrolling, Lu Chen was not idle. He had already tested the basic abilities of the blood-red Small Drum in front of him.

"Like that Small Drum spirit, the Drum Sound of this Small Drum can connect to my heart. Shaking the Drum Sound will make my heart beat along with it."

To be honest, this Small Drum was still somewhat useful. When used against enemies, it could control the opponent's heartbeat.

It could also bless oneself, accelerating one's own heartbeat. Barbarians relied on their bodies to fight, and a rapid heartbeat meant accelerated blood flow, which could make the body more powerful.

However, after thinking for a while, Lu Chen directly chose to sacrifice it.

"System, absorb this Small Drum!"

System prompt: The host has sacrificed the Small Drum and obtained 15 Spirit Crystals.

Watching the Small Drum disappear in his hand, and seeing 15 Spirit Crystals on the system interface, a smile bloomed on Lu Chen's face.

"Although the Small Drum is strong, my own strength is much more useful than the Small Drum when dealing with enemies. As for increasing my heartbeat, I don't have time to shake this drum in battle."

Compared to relying on external objects, Lu Chen believed in himself more. Therefore, he unhesitatingly chose to sacrifice it.

"Moreover, 15 Spirit Crystals, if I remember correctly, it costs 5 Spirit Crystals to change a skill once, so I can exchange for three chances now."

Thinking of the system's skills, Lu Chen's heart burned with passion.

"Barbarians can only rely on blood energy to fight. That's how I am now, but I won't be like this in the future. There must be many skills among the Swordsman's skills that can harm the strange."

Thinking this, the first thing Lu Chen thought of was Armament Haki.

Conqueror's Haki, Observation Haki, and Armament Haki, the three colors of Haki from the One Piece world, were also copied by Lu Chen's studio. Moreover, when dividing them, the three colors of Haki were planned as general skills.

General skills were a division different from professional skills.

Lu Chen and the others, who focused on skills as their selling point, had put a lot of thought into searching for and categorizing the skill library.

And now, these skills have become the foundation for Lu Chen to establish himself in this world.

"Conqueror's Haki enhances willpower, Observation Haki enhances detection abilities, and Armament Haki enhances the most basic attack and defense abilities."

"Moreover, Armament Haki, in the world of One Piece, can attack natural Devil Fruit users. This characteristic can definitely harm evil spirits. If I obtain all three types of Haki, dealing with evil spirits will no longer be particularly difficult."

Thinking of the skill library, Lu Chen became even more determined to hunt monsters.

"Grumble..."

Just as Lu Chen's heart was burning with passion, his stomach directly sent out a signal of hunger.

Thinking of the ten or so pounds of meat he had just eaten yesterday, and feeling his empty stomach, Lu Chen had a new understanding of the terrifying consumption of a Barbarian Blood Warrior.

Without saying a word, Lu Chen left the room and returned to the yard. At this time, the food in the pot was already cooked.

As before, without even using chopsticks, Lu Chen directly reached into the pot and pulled out the twenty-odd pounds of wild boar meat, tearing into it vigorously.

While tearing at the meat, Lu Chen was also worrying about food.

In fact, if a Barbarian Blood Warrior is not fighting, although they eat a lot in one meal, they can go for several days without feeling hungry.

But yesterday, Lu Chen did more than just exercise; he was practically bleeding.

Whether it was dissolving the Human Head Fireball with crimson flames or fighting against the Small Drum monster, Lu Chen had exerted a lot of effort and consumed a lot of energy and blood.

Admittedly, his powerful physique gave Lu Chen an extremely strong recovery ability.

The injuries and fatigue from last night's battle were almost completely healed by this morning.

However, the nutrients consumed and the energy and blood lost in restoring his body needed to be replenished by eating.

This was why Lu Chen was hungry today, even though he had just eaten more than ten pounds of meat yesterday.

In a normal state, ten pounds of meat would be enough for Lu Chen to be active for a whole day, and if he reduced his activity, it would last for three days without any problem.

But as soon as he fought, the consumption would increase sharply.

While Lu Chen was worrying about food, his hands didn't stop. Soon, more than twenty pounds of meat were torn apart and swallowed into his stomach. Only a small piece of meat was given to Xiao Wei by Lu Chen.

After that, without paying attention to Xiao Wei, Lu Chen picked up his Iron Sword and went out again.

He had no intention of resting. A physique with an additional value of forty-four points allowed Lu Chen to go without rest for several days as long as he was full, without any problems.

However, the premise was being full, and now, Lu Chen was going out to find food.

Of course, this time, Lu Chen was not going to look for the Clan Chief or the Witch Doctor Master. One should know when to stop, and Lu Chen understood this.

He was going to hunt Barbarian Beasts in the wild himself.

"Hunting evil spirits at night and Barbarian Beasts during the day, I'm going to be busy from now on!"
