Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 350 – Picking Up a Heavenly Leak

The group fell into dead silence.

Everyone followed the woman ahead, step by step, moving forward.

Wind brushed past their ears, and each person felt a bone-deep chill.

Every step of this ten-kilometer journey felt like walking toward the end.

Finally, they arrived at a valley.

The valley was surrounded by steep cliffs on all sides, leaving only the narrow path they had just traversed as the entrance.

Lin Fan stopped.

The group behind her halted as well, the breathing of dozens of people mingling together, making the air in the valley unbearably heavy.

The atmosphere was oppressive.

A few timid Deer-folk girls couldn’t hold it together any longer—their shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and soft sobs escaped their throats.

Lin Fan slowly turned around.

Her gaze swept over the spoils before her.

The Deer-folk possessed a unique kind of Spirit Energy, while the centaurs were filled with wildness.

Each one was fine merchandise, brimming with the distinct vitality of their respective races.

If this were at a cosplay convention before the Post-apocalypse, it would have worn out the shutter buttons of every photographer there.

But in Lin Fan’s eyes, they were nothing but materials.

She made no effort to hide the greed in her eyes, and that look shattered whatever last shred of hope remained in everyone’s hearts.

“System, prepare to begin.”

Lin Fan’s voice was soft.

She couldn’t even be bothered to fabricate lies or offer any false hope.

Boom—!

An invisible force radiated from her, sweeping across the entire valley in an instant.

That oppressive pressure struck directly at their souls.

No one screamed, no one resisted, not even a struggle.

Over forty lives couldn’t utter a single word—their eyes lost their light simultaneously, and their bodies stiffened, toppling to the side.

Dull thuds rang out one after another.

The valley returned to silence.

Rеαd οո ΚаtRеaⅾіոgСаfе

A gentle white light appeared, illuminating the entire valley.

The glow enveloped each body, slowly transforming them into Skin.

Lin Fan leaned against a massive boulder, her posture languid.

She pulled a bottle of aged liquor she’d swiped from Blue Star out of System Space, flicked the cap off with her fingertip, tilted her head back, and took a big swig straight from the bottle.

The fiery liquid slid down her throat, bringing a searing rush of pleasure.

She then produced a slender women’s cigarette, lit a small flame at her fingertip, and ignited it.

Pale blue-white smoke curled upward, dispersing before her cold, expressionless face.

“Satisfying.”

She uttered the word softly.

This was the life she wanted.

Watching her asset reserves skyrocket before her very eyes—that feeling was deeply gratifying.

Time passed as she waited.

Two hours later.

The white light shrouding the valley finally faded away.

In its place on the ground lay a stack of Skin radiating a soft glow.

Lin Fan stubbed out her cigarette and casually waved her hand.

The stack of Skin flew toward her automatically, hovering in mid-air.

“Let me see if there’s a surprise this time.”

She reached out, a spark of anticipation in her eyes.

Her fingertip touched the first Skin.

“Perfect Grade…”

Her hand moved swiftly across the second.

“Perfect Grade…”

The third.

“Still Perfect Grade.”

The vast majority were ordinary Perfect Grade quality.

Rеaⅾ оո КаtRеаԁіոgCαfе

In the past, this kind of merchandise would have been a rare treasure in her eyes.

But now, they were merely padding to expand her inventory.

“Forty-four Perfect Grade total.”

Lin Fan clicked her tongue.

That number was staggering.

The Forest of Elves truly had good things scattered everywhere.

Hmm?

Suddenly, Lin Fan’s fingers paused.

Her fingertips had touched a Skin with a distinctly different texture. This Skin had a deep, ancient bronze color, was cold to the touch, and even carried a hint of metallic quality. It was also considerably heavier than the other Skins.

A line of information appeared before her eyes.

[Skin: Kamui]

[Grade: Epic]

[Level: Peak Tier 5]

[Talent: Advanced Centaur Bloodline, Bronze Skin Iron Bone (greatly enhances physical defense and stamina, with high resistance to elemental damage)]

“A good find!”

Lin Fan’s eyes lit up instantly.

This was an excellent tank Skin.

The key point was that Bronze Skin Iron Bone was a permanent passive talent—it didn’t need to be activated manually.

This meant that as long as she wore it, she would constantly be in a high-defense state.

Although she had Spiritualization that granted immunity to physical damage, who would ever complain about having too many defensive options?

Lin Fan put it away with great satisfaction and continued searching.

The second Epic-grade Skin was exactly as she had expected.

It came from the former chieftain of the Deer-folk, Bambi.

[Skin: Bambi]

[Grade: Epic]

[Level: Late Tier 6]

[Talent: Advanced Deer-folk Bloodline, Natural Affinity (when in a forest environment, Spiritual power and Mental Strength recovery speed is increased; can control all plants within a radius of ten li to attack or defend)]

“A great skill for a mage.”

Lin Fan commented in a low voice.

In a forest, this would allow her to have energy at all times.

The dual recovery of Spiritual power and Mental Strength paired well with her Heart of Envy.

“There’s one more…”

Lin Fan’s gaze fell upon the very bottom of the pile of Skins.

It was an unremarkable Skin.

Its appearance was that of an ordinary Deer-folk girl—pretty in a plain way, but among the group from earlier, she truly wasn’t particularly outstanding.

Her level was only early Tier 5 as well.

With such qualities, why was this Epic-grade?

Lin Fan frowned slightly, puzzled, and tapped open its attribute panel with her fingertip.

The next second.

The hand holding the wine bottle jerked violently, the liquid sloshing inside and nearly spilling out.

“What the hell?”

There, on the semi-transparent panel, were several lines of small text that made her scalp tingle.

[Skin: Lusha]

[Grade: Epic]

[Level: Early Tier 5]

[Bloodline: Incomplete Child of Nature Bloodline]

[Talent: Hymn of Life. Description: The bearer of this bloodline, as long as they remain in a natural environment rich with life force, can continuously draw life force from nature itself.]

Gulp.

Lin Fan swallowed hard.

How the hell does something like this exist at Tier 5?

Drawing life force from nature?

What did that even mean?

It meant that as long as she wasn’t instantly killed, as long as she still had even a breath left in her, she could recover endlessly.

Rеαd оn КatRеаⅾinɡCаfе

Lin Fan stared at the thin Skin in her hands, feeling her own breathing grow hot.

What she was holding was a rare treasure.

Throughout her journey, what had she feared the most?

Death!

She was indeed strong, but her strength lay in her unconventional methods—her physical body was by no means immortal.

If she ever encountered a rule-based instant-kill technique that ignored defense, or was ganged up on by a group of higher-level enemies, even having a Skin to sacrifice in her place wouldn’t save her.

But with this Hymn of Life…

It was equivalent to having an extra life.

No.

In an environment like a forest, it was equivalent to having countless lives.

“A steal. This time, I’ve truly hit the jackpot.”

Lin Fan took a deep breath, forcing himself to steady the violent pounding in his chest.

That deer-folk girl named Lusha—her bloodline had probably only just awakened. Even she herself had no idea what kind of immense power lay hidden within that seemingly frail body.

Child of Nature…

The description of the “Fragmented Progenitor of Life Bloodline” flashed through Lin Fan’s mind in an instant.

The Bloodline of the Ancestor of Life required the fusion of multiple high-grade genes.

What if he could also fuse in this Child of Nature’s limitless life force…

That image—Lin Fan hardly dared to imagine it.

“This trip to the Forest of Elves was more than worth it.”

Carefully, she stored Lusha’s Skin separately, placing it solemnly in the most central position of the System Space.

With this trump card in hand, she felt far more confident about the place she was heading to next.

Lin Fan turned around, her gaze fixed on the distance.

That was the deepest part of the forest.

The location of the Spirit Lake.

It was also the most dangerous place in the entire Forest of Elves—and at the same time, a place where many treasures were hidden.

“Serpent-folk, centaurs, deer-folk… these are all just appetizers.”
