Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 121: Tracking

[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Power +0.1]

[Beep, extraction successful. Innate knowledge: Nurture of Venom.]

Nurture of Venom? What was that?

The system notification stunned Heath for a moment. This was the first time he had seen such an extraction.

He quickly focused his attention on the information that had just entered his head. When he saw it, he was shocked.

There were three main aspects to the strength of a demonized creature like the Queen Spider. First, it had very strong spiritual power and could directly control its spawns. Second, it had very strong close combat abilities due to its high attributes. Third, it had poison.

Every Queen Spider was an expert in using poison and could use extremely strong poison. Once it was hit, even a strong creature with dozens of physiques would not be able to resist it. Some of the targeted poison was even a headache for Wizards.

It was just that Heath’s [Hellfire Sea] had come too suddenly. The Queen Spider did not even have the chance to use her poison before it was burned to death. It did not even have the chance to show itself.

And what Heath had just extracted was the Queen Spider’s talent in using poison!

‘This thing can be extracted?’ Heath was surprised.

This thing was completely like a creature’s unique instinct. For it to be able to be extracted directly by him was not just ridiculous…

‘First, it’s the King’s Heart, and now it’s the talent of a demonized creature… Why do I feel that the things I’ve extracted recently are getting stranger and stranger? Why couldn’t I extract them in the past?’

This was not the first time Heath had such a thought.

Recently, he found that the system had become a little strange. It seemed that it had extracted more things than before, and the types of things it extracted had become more complex.

It was especially obvious when he was collecting corpses in the city. He could even extract some messy knowledge from ordinary people. Although these things had existed in the past, the frequency was definitely not as high as it was now.

Overall, it gave him the feeling that the extraction function had been enhanced.

‘Is it because I advanced to an advanced Apprentice?’

During this period of time, Heath had not changed much. The biggest change was that he advanced to an advanced Apprentice a few months ago. If the system had really changed, he felt that this was probably the only reason.

Of course, whether this was the case or not remained to be seen.

Jon looked at the scorched ground around him and exclaimed, “Tsk, tsk, tsk! What a terrifying spell! Its power should be comparable to an official-level spell!”

Heath replied truthfully, “It’s still a little lacking.”

Although the Hellfire Sea looked vast, it had not formed a complete system. It could not be compared to a real Wizard-level spell.

Jon said, “Even so, this kind of energy is far beyond what an Apprentice can use.”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the Necromancer’s Staff in Heath’s hand. “This staff that can activate spells should be an official-level Wizard tool, right?”

His gaze became a little greedy, and even Kirst and Marcel could not help but take another look at it. Having an official-grade Wizard tool could be said to be every Apprentice’s greatest dream.

Heath admitted generously, “Yes.”

There was nothing to hide. He was confident that he could handle the three of them together.

The mana consumed by the release of the Hellfire Sea came from Magic Stones. He himself played a catalytic role, and the mana in his body was basically not consumed.

After a pause, Heath said, “Your staff is not bad as well.”

Jon’s Wizard gear was an emerald-green long-handled staff. Although it was not as good as his Necromancer’s Staff, it was not much worse. It was worth hundreds of thousands of Magic Stones on the market.

Jon still could not bear to look at Heath’s Necromancer’s Staff. “It’s far worse than yours, Sir.”

After a pause, he suddenly asked, “I wonder if you are willing? I can use my staff and Magic Stones to exchange with you.”

Heath shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, I won’t consider it for the time being.”

Jon was very disappointed.

Seeing this, Heath put away the Necromancer’s Staff and quickly ended the topic. He was not afraid, but he did not want something bad to happen.

Then, he asked, “Didn’t you say that you have the book left by Campbell? I’m very interested in it.”

Jon nodded. “That’s right. If you want it, you can have it for 3,000 Magic Stones. No bargaining.”

It was unsure if Heath’s refusal made him unhappy, but his attitude was very firm.

3,000 Magic Stones for a human’s war book. This was definitely not cheap. If it was any other Wizard, they would definitely think that only a lunatic would spend money to buy it. After all, to Wizards, this was completely useless.

Even Heath frowned when he heard the price.

‘Although we don’t have any friendship to speak of, we just fought side by side. Do we have to fall out so quickly?’

Thinking about it in his heart, he did not waste time and nodded. “Alright.”

Since he liked it, then he would not consider whether it was expensive or not. After all, he had earned quite a lot of Magic Stones recently. 3,000 Magic Stones were nothing to him now.

The two sides completed the transaction. At this point, the cooperation this time had come to an end.

Marcel was the first to bring it up. “Since the spider army has been eliminated, there are no problems left. Why don’t we part ways here?”

Kirst said, “Whatever.”

Jon nodded. “I don’t have any objections.”

Heath said, “Whatever.”

The Gray Wizards’ teams were usually temporary. When they encountered difficulties, they would team up and cooperate temporarily. After the difficulties were resolved, they would part ways.

It was not bad for them to part ways like Heath and the rest. Many Gray Wizards had internal conflicts during the team formation process due to various reasons. In the end, there were many situations where the team was destroyed.

A group without authority and order was just like that. Cooperation did not exist.

“Then, everyone, it’s my pleasure to see you again later.”

“See you again.”

…

Half an hour later, at the eastern entrance of the Magic Bug Forest.

Marcel stood under an oak tree and looked around sneakily. He then released a few mottled flying insects.

The mottled flying insects flapped their wings and flew in all directions. Not long after, they returned to Marcel’s hands. He held the mottled flying insects and placed them by his ear as if he was listening to what the mottled flying insects were saying.

After a while, he touched his chin and said, “They didn’t follow us?”

“Hmph, at least they’re self-aware!”

He snorted lightly and immediately headed towards a direction in the forest.

And not long after he left…

Da! Da! Da!

The sound of footsteps could be heard.

More than ten figures appeared in this open space. They were the Knights from before.

Immediately, their master, Jon, also walked into the open space.

“Hiss!”

As Jon arrived, there was a sudden hiss from the oak tree beside them. There was actually a chameleon lying on the trunk of the tree. It had almost completely merged with the trunk.

At this moment, the lizard jumped onto the back of Jon’s hand. Jon put the lizard to his ear and exchanged a few words.

“Is he going that way?”

“I’d like to see what little secret this kid is hiding.”

Soon, he led his people in the direction that Marcel had just left.

Not long after Jon left.

Rustle!

A soft rustle sounded, and the bushes shook again.

A figure walked out from within. It was Kirst.

He looked in the direction where Jon and Marcel had gone for a moment, and then, like a cloud of smoke, he gave chase.

And not long after he left…

Tss! There was a faint sound.

A figure suddenly appeared on the trunk. It was Heath.

“What a party!”

Sighing softly, Heath looked thoughtfully in the direction in which they had gone.
