Chapter 128 The Envy of the Crowd
After admiring the Abyss Stomach Armor for a while, Su Wanyue handed it to the old man so he could take a good look at it.
The old man's envy for the magical artifact was no less than Su Wanyue's!
It should be noted that he and Su Wanyue were the only two people in the convoy who did not possess any magical artifacts. Su Wanyue was, after all, a combat-ready individual, and even without magical artifacts, her strength was still formidable.
As for Xu Wenchu, although he was in the same auxiliary sequence as himself, he at least had a magical artifact. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't envious!
The old man carefully examined the Abyss Stomach Armor before handing the strange artifact to Wang Hu.
Wang Hu was overjoyed and excited when he received the mysterious artifact.
Regardless of the other abilities of this strange artifact, Wang Hu particularly liked its ability to change shape according to his own body.
"Brother Tiger, now that the Drowning Abyss Stomach Armor is in your hands, you'd better hurry up and let this strange artifact recognize its master! Otherwise, if that shameless charlatan Xu snatches it away, you'll have nowhere to cry!" Zhao Hai urged Wang Hu.
"Zhao Hai, what are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of person? Besides, it's not like I don't have any magical artifacts on me! It's just a magical artifact, why are you making everyone think it's something special?" Xu Wenchu rolled his eyes at Zhao Hai.
"Tch, you don't care? I don't know who was the first to snatch this strange artifact from me!" Zhao Hai curled his lip.
"I was just helping Tiger check out the goods, and incidentally testing your strength in the Artifact Master sequence! Now it seems that your Artifact Master sequence is not fake after all!" Xu Wenchu said with a righteous air.
If someone were unaware of the situation, they might actually believe his nonsense.
"Come on," Zhao Hai scoffed. "I just held it in my hand, turning it over and over a dozen times, practically drooling. You call that inspecting the goods?"
"Tch! I wouldn't stoop to arguing with a petty person like you!" Xu Wenchu retorted, curling his lip.
Wang Hu shifted his gaze from the stomach armor and said to Zhao Hai, "Hai Zi, thank you so much! This is the first time I've ever obtained a supernatural artifact. I never even imagined I'd possess one!"
"Hehe! Brother Tiger, you're too kind. It's not just you. As long as our team has enough strange materials, I believe that every extraordinary member of our team will have a strange artifact!" Zhao Hai smiled at Wang Hu.
"Besides, Tiger, with this magical artifact, your strength will increase significantly. From now on, I'll follow you around and live a life of luxury!"
"Alright! Hai Zi, since you helped me make this magical artifact, I'll protect you from now on, no matter what!" Wang Hu said with an air of magnanimity.
"Hehe! Thanks a lot, Brother Tiger!"
Immediately, Wang Hu also made a small cut on his index finger, and then drops of blood flowed down his index finger onto the Drowning Abyss Armor on his hand.
The cut Wang Hu made wasn't big; it healed in less than three seconds.
"No, Tiger, your self-healing sequence ability seems rather annoying right now!" Zhao Hai couldn't help but tease, looking at the wound on Wang Hu's index finger that had immediately healed.
"That's right, I never expected that Wang Hu, your ability would be a burden right now!" Su Wanyue also chimed in.
"That's right, Tiger, with your self-healing ability, it would take a lot of blood to make the artifact recognize you as its master. With your ability, you'd probably have to cut a gash on your arm to collect enough blood for the artifact to recognize you as its master!" Xu Wenchu said.
After all, he knew very well that he had shed a lot of blood to make that trumpet-shaped artifact recognize him as its master!
"Tiger, I never thought that getting this strange artifact to recognize its master would actually hurt you!" The old man couldn't help but joke with the others.
Hearing this, Wang Hu wasn't annoyed. He smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just a cut. I'll recover in no time!"
Everyone smiled after hearing this. Wang Hu was right. The injuries he suffered when dealing with the strange creatures were much more serious than this. A mere cut was nothing to Wang Hu!
"Hehe! Tiger, if you don't mind, I'll help you with this cut! I really want to experience what it feels like to make a cut on a muscular man's arm." Xu Wenchu said, while pulling out a dagger from somewhere.
Seeing Xu Wenzhu's enthusiastic expression, Wang Hu had no intention of spoiling his fun. Instead, he generously said, "Sure! Captain Xu, if you want to try, then give it a shot! Even if you don't come to help me, I'll still carve out a path myself!"
"Here comes Tiger!"
Xu Wenchu didn't hold back either, directly cutting a nearly ten-centimeter-long gash on Wang Hu's left arm.
Immediately, the blood from Wang Hu's left arm flowed down his arm and onto the Drowning Abyss Stomach Armor on his right hand.
About five minutes later, the blood on Wang Hu's body finally fed the Drowning Abyss Stomach Armor.
After the Drowning Abyss Armor recognized its master, it moved directly onto Wang Hu's body with a thought, fitting him perfectly.
"How is it, Tiger?" After seeing the Abyss Stomach Armor recognize its master, everyone couldn't wait to ask.
"Hehe! Not bad, except for one side effect that's not so good!"
Wang Hu didn't hide anything and briefly explained the abilities and side effects of the Drowning Abyss Stomach Armor to the group.
"The side effect of your stomach 'heavy hunger' isn't too bad. It just means you have to eat three to five times more than usual, which isn't a big problem!" Xu Wenchu said.
If it were an ordinary person, in this apocalypse, their food intake would be three to five times that of normal, and it would be quite difficult for them to survive.
But Wang Hu is a transcendent being, so increasing his food intake by three to five times is a bit of a burden for him, but not too much.
Even if Wang Hu runs out of food, the other extraordinary beings in the caravan will definitely provide him with plenty of food!
After all, even if Wang Hu couldn't support himself, the several extraordinary beings in the caravan wouldn't just stand by and watch him go hungry!
"Captain Xu is right. Your 'Heavy Thirst' side effect isn't a big problem. It's your 'Overload Backlash' side effect that's getting out of control and is quite serious."
The old man spoke with some concern.
"Indeed, this side effect is a big problem!" Su Wanyue's expression was also somewhat unpleasant.
If Wang Hu were to suddenly lose control during the battle, the consequences would be unimaginable!
