When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 549 - 412: The Heart’s Beast Pill

Chapter 549: Chapter 412: The Heart’s Beast Pill

Bang!

Hua Jiuyue’s body fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Confusion and bewilderment lingered in her eyes. To her death, she couldn’t understand why Xiang Beifei had been so decisive, striking without hesitation.

She had thought that after Xiang Beifei captured her, he would at least interrogate her about some matters, or at the very least ask why she was there and what her purposes were. After all, she had revealed her Unrestrained identity. If Xiang Beifei really wanted to investigate the “Unrestrained,” he likely wouldn’t have killed her so readily.

But Xiang Beifei did not hold back; he struck to kill immediately!

He truly resorted to a hardcore “heart-to-heart” approach!

“Playing psychological tricks with me, you’re thinking too much.”

Against those who were cunning and sought to probe his secrets, Xiang Beifei never showed mercy.

Hua Jiuyue was no ordinary woman; she was just an R-level Awakener, yet she possessed the realm of late-stage God Refining and her methods were unbelievably powerful.

When she made her move, it was plainly with the intention of studying Xiang Beifei’s abilities. When hit by the brick, she didn’t fall but could still speak, which was enough to denote her exceptional nature.

Xiang Beifei understood clearly. Given how calm Hua Jiuyue was despite being captured, she certainly had an escape ace up her sleeve, which likely gave her the confidence to negotiate and probably came from that golden cage.

Just now, Hua Jiuyue’s clothes had shattered, but the golden cage still withstood the power of Return to the Original State, seemingly rippling with a bizarre fluctuation that protected her from it.

Normally, Xiang Beifei intended to capture the Unrestrained himself and use their system logs to discover any secrets of these Unrestrained members.

But Hua Jiuyue’s system log had been stagnant for half a year; she had not undertaken any missions for six months.

Elder Luo once said, the Unrestrained protect their secrets with their lives.

Then keeping this Unrestrained alive was pointless.

It was simpler to kill her.

There was no need to waste that time.

——

Hua Jiuyue’s heart was excavated, and without any hesitation, Xiang Beifei’s spiritual power surged into her body, covering all her breaths while he searched for her soul.

But soon, he frowned.

This person, she doesn’t have a soul?

She had the cultivation of the God Refining stage but lacked the soul that should accompany it!

This was nothing like a normal System Awakener.

“Indeed very odd.”

Xiang Beifei pondered slightly.

The reason he had decisively killed Hua Jiuyue was because her situation was very similar to someone else encountered before!

That old woman who appeared at the Greedy Bowl Embrace Moon Desolate Beast Wholesale Market!

Back then, that old woman awakened the Tailoring System, and her system had also been inactive for months, with a lengthy period where she had not continued her missions. Yet, her strength was excessively strong.

Strictly speaking, the old woman couldn’t even be considered human, because there was a Beast Pill in her heart!

Xiang Beifei stared at the heart he had extracted from Hua Jiuyue’s chest, which was much larger than that of an ordinary person, seemingly stretched, with much thicker blood vessels, all different from ordinary people.

A slight tremor of spiritual power, and the heart cracked open.

A white Beast Pill revealed itself from within the heart!

As expected!

It was exactly the same as the Beast Pill found in the One-Armed Crab’s heart from the street attack.

After the white Beast Pill left her heart, her system interface also vanished.

“What exactly is this person’s background?”

Implanting a desolate beast’s Beast Pill into a human heart, was Unrestrained conducting some experiment with beasts and humans?

He recalled that old woman who had awakened an N-level Tailoring System. With just one Beast Pill, her cultivation had reached the late-stage of Meridian Opening!

And this Hua Jiuyue, only awakened an R-level system, yet her cultivation had reached late-stage God Refining!

Could it be that the S-level Qin Hongyi—was he also relying on the Beast Pill in his heart to forcibly elevate his cultivation to the Orifice Transforming stage?

Then, how did they skip the process of soul cultivation?

Xiang Beifei looked at Hua Jiuyue’s body, searched on her for a moment, and could only find a cage at her waist, lacking any specific identifiers that could expose her identity, exceptionally clean throughout.

Then he remembered, he seemed to have just dispersed her clothes with “Return to the Original State.”

“I was careless.”

Xiang Beifei felt somewhat regretful, but fortunately, another person had been left behind.

He turned his head to look at Gao Zhuo, who had previously been kidnapped in the Withering Forest.

Gao Zhuo was still being smacked around by the Wooden Kirin, and to prevent Gao Zhuo from escaping, he decided to subdue this guy first.

Xiang Beifei flicked his hand, and the brick flew toward Zhuo, hitting Gao Zhuo squarely on the head. Already dazed by the Wooden Kirin’s battering, Gao Zhuo was struck by the brick and immediately fell unconscious again.

The Wooden Kirin had been quite pleased with itself, not noticing that Gao Zhuo’s body was once again enveloped by golden patterns. It swung its tail again but carelessly hit Gao Zhuo—

Thud!

The golden patterns spread from Gao Zhuo’s body to the Wooden Kirin. The kirin’s eyes rolled back as it collapsed onto Gao Zhuo.

“Woof woof!”

Xiaohei burst out laughing.

“What a fool.”

Xiang Beifei couldn’t be bothered with this silly creature and walked toward Gao Zhuo.

The reason he had spared Gao Zhuo’s life was that Gao Zhuo was weaker and easier to deal with. It was natural to negotiate with someone who couldn’t escape. But most importantly—

Xiang Beifei had to figure out why he had come out of such a place as the outer domain wastelands and even joined Unrestrained!

If Gao Zhuo could come out, what about the others who were captured?

Gao Zhuo’s cultivation had reached the mid-stage of God Refining, not as powerful as Qin Hongyi and Hua Jiuyue, but did he also have a Beast Pill in his heart?

There was still an ice cone embedded in Gao Zhuo’s chest, reminding him to fend off attacks with his heart. Thus, he stabbed his heart with the cone, effectively blocking the spiritual power impact. This indicated that his heart was definitely not ordinary.

Xiang Beifei had preserved the white beast pill that he had extracted from Hua Jiuyue’s heart, and then he approached Gao Zhuo, ready to explore if there was an abnormal fluctuation in Gao Zhuo’s heart as well.

He squatted down, and his spiritual power traveled along the ice cone on Gao Zhuo’s chest, penetrating into his body. Indeed, a fluctuation from a Beast Pill transmitted back!

“This guy needs to be dissected by Elder Luo.”

The last time Gao Zhuo had been captured by Ghost Whiskers of Remnant Visage, and now he appeared here lively and kicking, was definitely not by chance!

Xiang Beifei examined Gao Zhuo’s body and even retrieved a golden cage from him, then apprehended him.

After confirming that everything was correct, he turned to lift the Wooden Kirin off Gao Zhuo to help it regain consciousness. Erha looked infuriated as it roared at Xiang Beifei. It had intended to attack Gao Zhuo but ended up knocking itself out as well.

“It’s your own fault for being silly!”

Xiang Beifei flicked Erha’s forehead and then walked over to Shen Tongtong to look at her system interface.

The Beast Language System enabled communication with desolate beasts and was crucial for pioneers in any team because she could assess risks for the team through her interactions with the desolate beasts.

Unlike Xiang Beifei’s Learn by Analogy, if Xiang Beifei wanted to learn a language, he needed cooperation from the other party. Creatures like Xiaohei and Erha, which were intelligent, could understand Xiang Beifei’s words and then translate them into roars or barks.

Xiang Beifei had so far grasped all languages of “canine species” and “kirin species”—it wasn’t clear if these counted as actual languages, for Erha had made it clear it was not a wolf, although it always howled like one. Nonetheless, since wolves belonged to the Canidae family, Xiang Beifei hadn’t understood them initially.

Shen Tongtong’s Beast Language System allowed her to learn a beast language by capturing a cub. The system would interpret the desolate beast’s sounds, ultrasonic waves, dancing, and other vocal or behavioral languages to understand the beast’s intentions. She was a specialist in this area, not needing the beasts to cooperate but only to observe. The system would help her synthesize the meanings, so she knew more beast languages than Xiang Beifei.

Were Gao Zhuo and Hua Jiuyue targeting Shen Tongtong because they valued her ability to communicate with desolate beasts?

—

“Grandpa…”

Shen Tongtong was still holding her grandfather’s body, crying regretfully, appearing helpless. She was just a rookie who had recently awakened her system. Besides being able to converse with desolate beasts, she lacked the means to heal.

Shen Zhenrong’s body was only half intact. Although the bleeding had stopped, his injuries were severe, and he was unconscious.

“Can you save my grandpa? Can you save him?” Shen Tongtong asked through her sobs.

“Step back.”

Xiang Beifei gestured for Shen Tongtong to move away and then squatted down to assess the injuries, pondering over them. Fortunately, the severed limbs were still there. During the battle with Hua Jiuyue, he had protected them; otherwise, it might have required more effort.

Shen Tongtong carefully put down Shen Zhenrong’s upper body and then anxiously stepped back.

Xiang Beifei released the aura of “Return to the Original State,” covering Shen Zhenrong.

He had never tried using “Return to the Original State” for healing before, but he knew it could change the state of the body.

Previously, when his cultivation was insufficient, forcibly using Return to the Original State would cause his body’s channels to revert to their pre-opened state. But this also meant that he could revert an injured body back to its pre-injured state.

The aura from “Return to the Original State,” emitting a unique essence, quickly settled on Shen Zhenrong.

Xiang Beifei was much more cautious this time, unlike his unrestrained attack on Hua Jiuyue. An excessive return could directly shatter the cells, causing even more severe consequences.

Under Xiang Beifei’s guidance, this essence rapidly began to work on Shen Zhenrong’s wounds.

The wounds quickly started to heal, and the severed arms and lower body, under the effect of returning to the original state, swiftly reconnected.

Xiang Beifei needed to precisely control the extent of the return to the original state, deciding not to exceed the limit; he only reverted to an hour before.

As the injuries healed, Shen Zhenrong quickly regained consciousness. He sat up, surprised, moved his body, checked his shoulders, and looked down at his waist.

Unharmed!

“I… I’m healed?”

Shen Zhenrong incredulously examined his injuries; there wasn’t a single wound on his body!

“Not bad.”

Xiang Beifei was fairly satisfied, at least confirming that “Return to the Original State” indeed had the capability to heal injuries in some sense.
