Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

The female Apprentice frowned and reprimanded, “Grice, you pig, don’t only know how to eat. Quickly tell us the information we need.”

The fatty said, “Roxanne, if you call me a pig again, I will eat you.”

The female Apprentice was furious and immediately raised her hands. Large patches of green air currents surged out from the mouth in her palms and swept towards the fatty.

The fatty’s expression changed and he hurriedly leaped backward to avoid it.

The poisonous gas brushed past the corner of the fatty’s clothes and quickly wrapped around the corpse on the ground. For a moment, one could only hear ‘puchi puchi’ sounds as the corpse began to corrode at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As if it was placed in sulfuric acid that was a million times stronger, large patches of white smoke rose from the corpse’s body. The clothes instantly melted, followed by scarlet flesh. The flesh festered, followed by the white bones below.

In just a few breaths’ time, the body had already disappeared, leaving behind a brown acid water that was emitting white smoke.

The fatty’s face turned red. “Roxanne, I’m going to bite you into pieces, you damn b*tch!”

He roared angrily, and white smoke that seemed to have substance shot out of his nostrils. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his entire body expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. He broke through the clothes and instantly became a giant that was several meters tall.

The muscles all over his body bulged, making him look exceptionally terrifying.

“Enough, both of you!”

Right at this moment, the remaining bald man spoke coldly.

Just as he spoke, a crack appeared on his head, and a finger drilled out from within. The tip of the finger was a small mouth, and when the mouth opened, a ball of black gas gushed out, forming a ferocious ghost face on top of his head.

Seeing that ghost face, the fatty’s expression was obviously somewhat fearful.

The bald man said, “Don’t waste your energy on such a messy matter. Don’t forget why we’re here.”

The fatty said angrily, “It was that b*tch Roxanne who provoked me first.”

Roxanne snorted lightly and turned her head away.

The bald man said, “Alright, Grice, tell us what you know. What did you get from the corpse?”

Grice smacked his lips and said, “16 Apprentices fought here. Other than these 5, there were 3 Labyrinth-flavored ones, 4 Blood Castle-flavored ones, 3 Crescent Bay-flavored ones, and one Shadow Tower-flavored one. The battle happened three days ago.”

“Shadow Tower?”

The bald man’s eyes lit up. “Could it be an official Apprentice?”

Grice shook his head. “He should be a pauper, and he came later.”

“He didn’t participate in the battle. He just passed by here. For some unknown reason, he touched these corpses separately. There was very little smell left, so we can’t know too many clues.”

Roxanne said, “The paupers of Shadow Tower are also extremely rich.”

The bald man did not comment. “That is, if they were not robbed.”

He then asked, “Where did they go?”

Grice’s nose twitched, and then he said, “The Labyrinth, Red Castle, and Crescent Bay went east. It should be the Red Castle and Crescent Bay chasing Labyrinth. The Shadow Tower also went west, but he went to the Forest of Souls.”

The bald man said, “There’s no need to waste energy on him. It is not worth giving up the entire forest for a boar.”

He looked at the distant forest.

The terrifying mouth that was exposed was pulled to both sides, forming a terrifying smile.

He said excitedly, “The best era has arrived. Cheers, Black Demon King.”

“Let us enjoy the fun of hunting to our heart’s content…”

…

Wizard World, New Calendar, Year 1270, Late Autumn.

On the tenth day after the defeat of Shadow Tower, Evernight Wetland, which had a grudge against the Labyrinth Academy, launched a sneak attack on the Labyrinth Academy’s encampment. Countless resources were plundered, causing the Labyrinth Academy to suffer heavy losses.

On the same day, the Master of Labyrinth Academy, Patrick, who was in the Dark Council in the Place of Resolution, was besieged by Red Castle and Crescent Bay because he refused to hand over the Ruler’s Scepter. Patrick fled in a panic with his daughter, Mina, and all the Apprentices accompanying him were annihilated.

The next day, Ivory Tower declared war on Cross Badge, saying that Cross Badge had occupied the Shadow Tower’s support and taken away White Stone Sacred Mountain, their resource area.

On the same day, the Ivory Tower was attacked by the Thorn Forest. Because the Master and a group of Apprentices went to attack Cross Badge, the Wizard Tower’s defense was empty, and they suffered heavy losses.

On the same day, Thorn Forest was attacked by Blood Ring Spire, and they suffered heavy losses…

On the same day, the Blood Ring Spire was attacked by Dust Forest…

…

Similar incidents happened everywhere.

Almost every day, one could hear the news that a Wizard organization was at war with another Wizard organization, and after the two sides fought, they would often be ambushed by other Wizard organizations.

The ambushers who snatched the resources did not have time to be happy, but their own nest was wiped out by others.

Sneak attacks, group fights, robberies, beating up the weak with numbers, and using guns to bully the weak, these big taboos that had been severely broken in the past had now become very common.

Everyone no longer followed the previous rules, and the world had completely returned to the most primitive laws.

The law of the jungle.

…

A few days later, east of the gloomy sea of trees, in the Forest of Souls.

After a few days of traveling, Heath had successfully arrived at the Forest of Souls.

At this moment, somewhere in the Forest of Souls.

“Ya! Ya!” A dry screech sounded.

A black crow flapped its wings and flew over from afar. It circled and landed on the withered tree trunk.

It tilted its neck and turned its scarlet eyes to look at the empty space in front of it.

There was a corpse lying on the empty space in front of it.

It was the corpse of a female Apprentice. The decorative patterns on her cloak had been burned and could not be identified. Half of her body had a hole in it, and there was an icicle on her head. Blood was gushing out, dyeing the grass on the ground red.

She opened her eyes wide and stared at the gray sky with empty eyes.

The crow observed for a while, then flapped its wings and flew down, spreading its sharp beak to peck at the female Apprentice’s eyes.

There was no fear at all toward the top of the food chain.

Crash!

At this moment, a soft sound came from behind. The bushes shook, and a figure walked into the open space.

Heath walked forward and hurriedly waved his hand to drive the crow away.

“Ya! Ya!”

The frightened crow threw away the delicious food in front of it, flapped its wings, and flew away.

After driving the crow away, Heath immediately walked towards the corpse.

At this moment, he no longer had the emotional expression he had a few days ago. When he saw the corpse, there was not even the slightest change in his expression. It was as if he was looking at an ordinary object.

After he arrived in front of the corpse, he easily bent his knees and skillfully placed his hand on the corpse’s chest.

It was as if he was dealing with a very routine task.

He silently chanted in his heart, ‘Extract.’
