'That's right!'
'Devour the core, use Taotie to seize its attributes and abilities!'
But just a moment ago, to ensure a one-hit kill, he had used his strongest attack and blasted the core into nothingness.
How was he supposed to devour it now?
Just as a wave of intense regret washed over Lin Ye, a belated system notification soothed his anxious mood.
[Ding! You have shattered the Fungal Descendant Corpse King's source core. The Taotie mechanism has been activated!]
[You have obtained 17.2 Stamina and 5.8 Spirit!]
[You have obtained a new temporary skill: Silk Puppet!]
Lin Ye froze.
Then, he let out a long sigh of relief.
'Thank goodness...'
He had almost forgotten that he had completed the side quest first.
As part of the quest reward, the [Taotie] mechanism had been upgraded and no longer required the step of devouring the core.
Just killing the target was enough to trigger it.
