Wiping the sli off the magazines with leaves, Tao Yu inserted the three newly acquired magazines into the slots on the chest of his leather armor.
Although the dead guy here had probably absorbed all the Yuan Force items he brought, Tao Yu still replenished so magazines from his body, making up for the loss of his devoured pack.
This python was not the one he had injured; only Liu Wen's corpse was inside, not his own backpack.
Besides, he could feel the Yuan Force from the python's body converging after death, accumulating on a tooth in its mouth.
Tao Yu extracted this tooth and absorbed it, gaining roughly fifteen units of Yuan Force and so ssy information about its diet.
Thanks to ntal Immunity, Tao Yu wasn't affected by the disordered information at all, and he had a vague sense of understanding.
If he continued and could kill similar pythons to complete the information, he might gain one or two complete related skills.
They should be related to stealth and explosive power.
The quality of the skills might be average, but for Tao Yu, who had Deification, they weren't to be frowned upon.
Turning to look at Zhang Wei who was skillfully dealing with the python's body, cutting the snake at into pieces and roasting them over the fire, Tao Yu wiped down the handgun he got from Liu Wen and said,
"How are your firearm skills?"
Liu Wen's assault rifle had been damaged by the python's bite, but there was still a handgun that could be used.
Hearing Tao Yu's words, Zhang Wei, who was engaged in cutting the python at and covered in blood, also looked up with an embarrassed smile,
"I, I've never trained."
Upon hearing this, Tao Yu imdiately dismissed the idea of lending the spare handgun to him.
While firearm usage might seem simple, it's quite troubleso for soone who has never touched one, and might even pose a threat to oneself.
He then holstered the handgun on the other thigh leather holster.
After absorbing the python's tooth and obtaining that fragnted information, Tao Yu still wanted to continue hunting these pythons.
Arming Zhang Wei a bit at this ti would actually have a positive effect, but since he had no firearm skills, Tao Yu wouldn't waste bullets on his practice.
Looking down at the sizable amount of python at that had been cut, Tao Yu also spoke up to remind,
"That's enough, you'll carry this at later."
"Oh, okay."
Zhang Wei looked sowhat reluctantly at the mostly wasted python corpse but still dutifully began to roll the cut at over the fire to roast.
In the Outer City, there are a few designated places selling supplies at exorbitant prices, where two units of Yuan Force could only buy a pound of at, and yet they only offered one unit of Yuan Force for five pounds when buying from hunters.
So, in fact, most of the at brought back from the Abyss was consud by themselves or exchanged among relatives.
Although there were private sales, getting caught ant direct obliteration of one's accumulated points, which seldom happened unless one was desperate.
The sa applied to food.
With everyone being limited in the amount of supplies they could carry to and from the Abyss, the corporation basically kept everyone in the Outer City's living resources under a threshold, tightly controlling it through the adjustnt of prices of living essentials.
After Zhang Wei briefly roasted and packed the snake at into his backpack, the sky had also completely darkened.
The night in the rainforest is truly a dark forest, with heavy shadows of trees all around, and the flas from the campfire make it seem like a frenzied dance of demons.
Even so, with such a stinky and large python corpse beside them, Tao Yu still urged Zhang Wei,
"Let's get ready to leave, it's not safe to stay here for long. I injured another python earlier, not this one, and it might be nearby."
"Okay."
Rest they would, but they needed to find a different place.
Otherwise, not only pythons but other troubles might be attracted, and even if they could cope, they wouldn't be able to rest properly.
Zhang Wei understood this as well.
After creating a few simple torches from tree resin and branches, he took the lead, carrying a torch in one hand and a steel pipe in the other.
"What is your awakened talent? Is it combat-related?"
```
Tao Yu looked at Zhang Wei's tall and thin body, which had been through so much and had even dissected a python, yet still seed to have decent strength while carrying about twenty kilograms of snake at on his back, and he decided to ask.
The other party didn't have his own "[One Proof Forever Proof]" trait, so the only explanation for maintaining normalcy was having a sufficiently high physical strength limit.
"Bro Tao, the talent I awakened is [Endurance] (E )," Zhang Wei said in an ingratiating tone while walking in front. "Leave this sort of heavy lifting to . As long as you can hold the line later, I don't want anything. I just hope to follow you and live to make it back."
Upon hearing his words, Tao Yu could roughly understand why Zhang Wei was being so subservient.
Because he possessed combat talents, surviving this trip alone would allow him to achieve a certain rank promotion. With such hope and expectation, his words were not re politeness.
On the Day of Awakening, the people of the Outer City typically just hoped to survive. Having already killed a python, they could consider it a decent harvest.
In comparison, after Zhang Wei returned, even if he sold himself, the price and inco he could command would be much higher.
[Endurance] (E ) was considered a standard laborer's talent, more helpful on the battle side than [Eagle Eye] and about the sa as [Dynamic Vision] of the sa level.
It was considered a standard combat talent.
Securing a stable job like his parents had, or even a better one, wasn't out of the question.
However, whether his skill level was truly (E ) was uncertain; there might be so exaggeration.
"Good, my talent is [Dynamic Vision] (B)," Tao Yu said, revealing one of his talents to give Zhang Wei so confidence. "I can see clearly at night too. If you think about it, we complent each other well. But I plan to continue hunting these pythons. Are you sure you want to follow ?"
If he had encountered the twins, he might reveal [Dynamic Vision] (MAX) to enhance his value.
But now, there was no need to show off as long as he could keep Zhang Wei in line.
"A combat talent of B rank? Bro Tao, you're aweso! Rest assured, as long as you can hold the line, I'll cooperate with you," Zhang Wei praised, genuinely surprised in his heart. [Dynamic Vision] might be just a standard combat talent, but at the B rank, it should easily allow one to join the security forces, right?
Perhaps with enough effort, one might even get a chance to enter the Inner City?
That was sothing he dared not even dream of.
Then he said sowhat awkwardly,
"Um, actually, my talent is D level. I was in a team with soone before, and he seed a bit jealous."
Since there was no longer any need to worry about jealousy, Zhang Wei wanted to inflate his value a bit.
As for the gains from the Day of Awakening, Zhang Wei had no expectations whatsoever.
He himself didn't possess any valuable skills, relying solely on talent to get by. To put it plainly, now that he had Yuan Force, he could only do calisthenics to improve his physical fitness, which was both wasteful and inefficient.
Since [Endurance] (D ) ensured the minimum requirent anyway, why not use the limited Yuan Force to enhance his strength by supporting the capable ones?
"Not bad, the stronger the better," Tao Yu enticed. "I'll take any Yuan Force-related materials. If you do well, I can even let you take back the snake at and Liu Wen's handgun afterwards."
Tao Yu dangled a small carrot.
When traveling between places, aside from volu restrictions, there were also weight limitations.
That's why hos were filled with odds and ends.
The weight limit was determined by the individual's unaffected carrying capacity. With Zhang Wei's [Endurance] (D ), he should have the chance to carry back a load of fifty kilograms at the end.
Plus, an ordinary handgun worth about a hundred Yuan Force would be a decent haul for Zhang Wei.
For Tao Yu's parents, such a gain might amount to half a month's work.
He could have offered nothing, but setting a goal and keeping it hanging could better mobilize the other party's initiative.
"Thank you, thank you! I will definitely work hard!"
Zhang Wei was clearly prompted into so enthusiasm, appearing sowhat uplifted.
His talent wasn't outstanding, and even if he went back and sold himself, it would only be for manual labor, just a much better life than before. Such a harvest was worth the risk for him!
Moreover, this elder brother possessed the [Dynamic Vision] (B) talent, with an obvious foundation in firearms handling, shooting extrely accurately. These pythons seed dangerous, but were still within an acceptable range...
