Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 374 Hundred-Eyed Monster

The journey was smooth. There were no powerful sea monsters near the sea. At most, there were only some pirates and the like. However, after seeing the flag hanging on the ship, these rascals fled far away. The sailboat that Heath had chosen was from the Barris family’s fleet.

After two months of sailing, Heath had successfully arrived at the area north of the Gold Coast. From here, he could reach the Black Forest by passing through the white roof ridge to the east.

“Are you really going to get off the ship here? Scholar Heath, with all due respect, this area is uninhabited. It is filled with powerful beasts and even demonized beasts. It is said that in the depths of the forest, there are strange creatures living in the magical world.”

Chuck and the others were going to dock at the pier of North Bay. It was not far from here. Heath was too lazy to take a detour, so he asked Chuck and the others to drop him off the ship and send him to the shore.

In the eyes of humans, this area was like a wild mountain. Captain Chuck and the others were naturally worried about Heath leaving alone, so they kept reminding Heath before they left. Everyone had heard of this scholar in Golden Harbor Town. They also knew that he started a school for the children of the poor in Golden Harbor Town for free. No one wanted anything to happen to him. If Heath had not insisted… Captain Chuck really didn’t want to leave him here.

“It’s okay, Captain Chuck. I’ve been here before. I’ll take care of my safety.”

“Then… Okay, but you still have to be careful…”

After bidding farewell to Captain Chuck, Heath walked into the lush forest alone.

After passing through a bush, a familiar elemental fluctuation was transmitted from afar. It was obvious that he had entered the elemental zone, and tall, lush trees could be seen around him. All of this meant that Heath had come to Black Forest.

“Phew! It’s still more comfortable to stay in the elemental zone.”

Feeling the dense elements that filled the world, Heath took a deep breath and sighed with great comfort.

To Wizards, the elements were like water to fish, and oxygen to humans. Although Wizards could live without it… However, the feeling of staying in the elemental zone was completely different from the feeling of staying in the gathering place of ordinary humans, just like now.

In this elemental zone, one could clearly feel that they were tightly bound by the elements. With every breath, one could feel the elements pouring into the throat, into the chest, filling the internal organs, and then into the spiritual sea.

If he opened the system’s information bar, he would be able to see it clearly.

There was no meditation or active extraction, but there was still an increase in spiritual power. Although the amount was not much, there was actually an increase in spiritual power. There were forces that were improving, and this was the elemental region.

Of course, this extraction was also very weak. It was far inferior to the gain of a Wizard’s own spiritual power. It was unrealistic to rely on this method to increase one’s strength.

However, training in such an area with dense elements was indeed twice the result with half the effort. For such an effect, Heath usually had to stay in a sealed room and use Elemental Candles and other training resources to achieve it.

It was precisely for this reason that the elemental area was the resource area that the Wizards fought over.

Rustle… At this moment, a slight rustling sound was heard.

Heath raised his eyebrows and looked in a direction. It was a shrub not far away.

The shrub was very sparse. One could see the scene behind it at a glance. Behind it was an empty space. There was nothing on the empty space. The rustling sound just now seemed to be made by a gentle breeze passing through the shrub, but the strange thing was that there was no breeze just now.

If it was an ordinary Wizard, they might not be able to figure out what was going on. However, Heath, who had extraordinary spiritual power, was very clear that there was actually a Hundred-Eyed Monster hidden in the area that could not be seen.

The Hundred-Eyed Monster was a high-level demonized creature that lived in the Black Forest. It was a powerful demonized creature with a spiritual orientation. It mastered many spells, and one of the most famous of them was invisibility. It was a double invisibility of vision and spirit.

Once the Hundred-Eyed Monster chose to hide itself, even a Wizard would not be able to find it.

And now, this Hundred-Eyed Monster was in the invisibility state.

An ordinary Wizard would not be able to discover such invisibility. However, for Heath, who had already advanced to the intermediate level, his spiritual perception had reached an extraordinary level. Just now, he had already clearly sensed the location of this Hundred-Eyed Monster and its overall strength.

Under his spiritual perception, the Hundred-Eyed Monster was crouching in the bushes. Its two claws had already opened up five fingers, revealing sharp edges. Its large mouth had also been opened a long time ago.

This was the usual hunting method of the Hundred-Eyed Monster. After targeting its prey, it would use its invisibility to approach its prey and launch an attack when the prey was caught off guard. Through this method, the Hundred-Eyed Monster could easily defeat demonized creatures that were much stronger than it.

But in Heath’s case, it was courting death.

“Little thing, you still want to ambush me? If that’s the case, then stay!”

With a light snort, Heath’s Wizard’s Forcefield immediately spread out, and at the same time, the Wizard’s Hand shone down on the Hundred-Eyed Monster.

The moment Heath’s invisible forcefield swept over, the Hundred-Eyed Monster immediately sensed the danger. All its hair stood on end, and it instinctively retreated in an attempt to avoid it.

However, Heath’s attack was much more ferocious and intense than it had expected. Before it could retreat, the Wizard’s Forcefield and the Wizard’s Hand formed a double encirclement around the Hundred-Eyed Monster, causing it to be unable to move.

“Roar!”

At the critical moment, the Hundred-Eyed Monster immediately roared. Its entire body exploded with golden light, and its huge body was removed from its invisible state and exposed to the forest.

It was a monster that was more than five meters tall. Its appearance was similar to that of a bear, but its head was covered with densely packed eyes, making people feel goosebumps.

At this moment, these eyes lit up with beams of light. These beams of light hit Heath’s Wizard’s Forcefield. The moment the two came into contact, the space caused waves of ripples. The entire space began to distort.

Under the effect of this distorted forcefield, the Hundred-Eyed Monster’s body, which had been stuck in the air like glue, began to loosen bit by bit. It slowly broke free from Heath’s invisible hand.

“Eh?” Seeing this scene, Heath couldn’t help but doubt.

One had to know that the Hundred-Eyed Monster wasn’t a particularly high-level demonized creature. In fact, it was only a low-level Wizard. Logically speaking, it should be impossible to break free from his intermediate-level Wizard’s Forcefield. However, it was almost able to break free from his hand now. This was truly a little surprising

“Hmph, can you escape?”

With a light snort, Heath could not help but move his fingertips. At the same time, he blurted out a short incantation.

As his incantation sounded, a hexagram magic array suddenly flashed on the ground. Immediately after, the sound of clattering could be heard, vines as thick as arms broke through the ground and rushed towards the Hundred-Eyed Monster in front of them, instantly binding the Hundred-Eyed Monster.

Crack! Crack!

Following that, a series of faint cracking sounds could be heard, and small holes appeared on the vines’ bodies. Then, sharp thorns grew out from the holes, stabbing towards the Hundred-Eyed Monster that was being bound.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The Hundred-Eyed Monster was currently tied up tightly by the vines. The thorns that grew out immediately pierced through the Hundred-Eyed Monster’s skin. For a moment, the Hundred-Eyed Monster was covered in blood, and wounds appeared all over its body.

“Aooo!”

The Hundred-Eyed Monster cried out in pain as it was stabbed. It quickly began to twist violently, trying to break free from Heath’s spell. However, it was so easy to break free from Heath’s vines, this was a high-level spell, [Entanglement of Thorns). The more the Hundred-Eyed Monster struggled, the tighter the thorns became.

Before the Hundred-Eyed Monster could break free, a loud and clear sound was heard in the forest.

Clang!

A metallic sound was heard. Heath pulled out his Red Demon greatsword and appeared in front of the Hundred-Eyed Monster in a flash. He wielded the Red Demon greatsword and slashed at the Hundred-Eyed Monster.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

After a few strikes, all of them were aimed at the vital parts of the Hundred-Eyed Monster. In an instant, the center of the Hundred-Eyed Monster was sliced into pieces.

The Hundred-Eyed Monster, which was still struggling fiercely, immediately lost its spirit after its center was cut off. Its huge body swayed heavily before it fell heavily to the ground with a rumble.

After killing the Hundred-Eyed Monster, Heath immediately squatted down on the ground and examined the Hundred-Eyed Monster. He had always felt that it was a little strange that such a low-level Wizard-level demonized creature could actually break free from his spell.

After some examination, he quickly found the reason.

Golden eyes.

He saw a circle of golden patterns around a few of the Hundred-Eyed Monster’s eyes. This was the sign that the Hundred-Eyed Monster was about to advance.

Although the Hundred-Eyed Monster was only a low-level Wizard-level demonized creature, it could still grow into an intermediate-level Wizard strength through growth and certain opportunities. The biggest characteristic that represented its evolution was the color of its eyes.

The eyes of ordinary Hundred-Eyed Monsters did not have any special color. However, after growing to a certain level, its eyes would be plated with golden patterns and gradually turn golden.

Once all of its eyes turned golden, it meant that the Hundred-Eyed Monster had advanced to an intermediate-level Wizard-level demonized creature.

Although the Hundred-Eyed Monster before him did not have all of its eyes turn golden, four or five pairs of eyes had also turned golden. This meant that the Hundred-Eyed Monster had already begun to evolve.

“Tsk tsk, what a pity…”

After finding out the reason, Heath could not help but feel regretful. One had to know that the most valuable thing on the Hundred-Eyed Monster was its eyes, and the golden eyes were a treasure that was worth tens of thousands of Magic Stones.

After all, the Hundred-Eyed Monster was a rare demonized creature. It was even rarer to be able to advance to the intermediate rank of a Wizard. If he had known that it was in the evolution stage, Heath would definitely not have killed it directly. Instead, he would wait for it to complete its evolution before making a move. That would definitely be a considerable income.

“Forget it, forget it. I don’t lack Magic Stones now anyway. Let’s take it back and use it as a material.”

Shaking his head, Heath erased the regret in his heart. All kinds of things happened in the Wizard World, and no one could guarantee that they would never make a mistake.

Retracting his thoughts, Heath first tried the system’s extraction.

[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Power +0.3]

(Beep, extraction successful. Obtained Life Sequence [Hundred-Eyed Monster).)

(Beep, extraction successful. Obtained Talent Hundred-Eyed Monster…]

A series of system notifications sounded, and balls of spiritual power surged into Heath’s body. Not only did it fill up the originally depleted magic power, but it also increased the size of his spiritual power.

“Comfortable! As expected of a demonized creature that is about to advance!” Heath could not help but exclaim in admiration.

Actually, he had extracted a demonized creature like the Hundred-Eyed Monster before. According to the system’s mechanism, a demonized creature that had been extracted before would not be able to be extracted again. Just now, Heath had only attempted to extract it with the mentality of giving it a try. He had not expected that he would succeed in extracting it in such a short time.

‘It should be because this Hundred-Eyed Monster is about to evolve.’

Previously, the Hundred-Eyed Monster that was extracted was only a low-level Wizard strength. Heath estimated that the reason why he was still able to extract attributes from it was probably because this Hundred-Eyed Monster was about to evolve.

Demonized creatures and Wizards were the same. Every evolution was a fundamental change to the body, and it would change the entire structure of the body. Demonized creatures’ changes in this aspect far surpassed that of Wizards. After evolution, demonized creatures could even be said to be two completely different types of demonized creatures.

In the end, Heath took out a dagger, dug out the densely packed eyes on the head of the Hundred-Eyed Monster, and put them into the dimensional pocket. The most valuable and only valuable thing on the Hundred-Eyed Monster was its eyes. As for the rest of the body, it was useless, and it didn’t taste good to eat.

However, after digging out the eyes on the Hundred-Eyed Monster’s head, small holes were left on its entire head, which looked extremely disgusting. Heath, who had a phobia of density, was particularly uncomfortable.

So in the end, he simply summoned a large fireball and blew up the Hundred-Eyed Monster’s head in one go, completely wiping out these disgusting things.

“Finally, I feel much better!”

Looking at the headless corpse lying on the ground, Heath felt much better.

Then, he put away the Red Demon greatsword and turned his head to look at the surrounding dense forest. Then, he walked in a direction and continued his journey.

His purpose for this trip was to go to the underground world. The closest entrance to the Underground World was in this Black Forest. Previously, Heath had retrieved the map of the entire Wizard World, knowing where in this Black Forest one could enter the Underground World…
