Hearing the familiar sound of notification reverberating within his consciousness, Leo shifted his gaze toward the mutilated corpse on the ground.

His eyes revealed a strange expression, carrying a hint of contemplation as his "front knee" kneeled in front of the corpse.

Without disgust on his face, still retaining his emotionless figure, Leo plunges his right hand toward the flesh of the corpse, seemingly searching for something as the sticky fluid begins to stick to his arm.

Following that, the corpse scent was repulsively magnified by folds, forming a light mist of green that engulfs Leo's face due to how close he is to the corpse's mutilated body.

Buack- (Noise coming from the lingering air inside the innards of the man, especially coming from its stomach.)

Sensing a strange and solid object grazing his hand within the depths of the corpse's body, Leo's eyes suddenly lit up, making the scene quite bizarre and horrifying considering how he coldly smiled as he was fidgeting and examining the innards of the man.

Amid his search for the solid object inside the body of the corpse, some of the bodily fluid of the man scattered around chaotically... Dyeing Leo's dark clothes with yellowish pus; his scent becomes more similar to the corpse in front of him.

However, although that was the case, Leo didn't bother about his smell; in fact, he didn't even bother about how some yellowish pus began to enter his mouth.

In his eyes, only the faint, flickering light within the innards of the man exists as he tries his best to pinpoint its exact location.

"It should be the inventory space of the human. Although humans wouldn't drop items and skill scrolls after they died, their inventory would still exist for a definite period of time inside their corpses...

"It's just that some of the items within would slowly vanish in the crumbling space of the inventory as time passes by. As if the items were decaying, turning into ashes before permanently vanishing with the dying inventory."

Leo pondered as he recalled the information related to the dying inventory within the corpse of the human that he had learned from Sebastian.

It could be said that those who had learned about this information did a good job of deliberately hiding it.

Not only would it prevent chaos and distrust happening between humans, preventing them from hunting each other in order to gain the items within the dying inventory of their fellow races, but it would also allow those beings who know about the information to secretly manipulate the dying inventory into their uses without gaining hatred from others.

If not for the concern of Sebastian, Leo might not have learned it... Making him heave a sigh mentally due to how vicious the world was.

...

"Found it!"

Soon, after dismembering the corpse in front of him for a couple of minutes, a small dark stone with the size of a grain flickering with darkness as a vortex of gray smoke could be seen continuously swirling in its center, reflected from Leo's gray irises.

Its solid surface, which was harder than any rare materials he had seen, caused Leo to flinch in coldness, making his eyes glint strangely as even his body, which was always emitting coldness, couldn't help but tremble from the strange aura the dying inventory was oozing.

Furthermore, he could even faintly perceive an unfamiliar rule coursing through its surface!

Unfortunately, due to his limited strength, he could only sense it but was unable to understand its mysteries.

"This is what inventory looked like..."

Mumbling to himself, hiding the bubbling excitement within his being. Leo, after taking a deep breath, hurriedly swept his divine senses toward the flickering stone in his palm.

In an instant, after his divine senses grazed the surface of the stone, his breathing suddenly became hurried; his eyes widened as he stared at the space inside of the dying inventory in shock.

Under the probing of his divine senses, countless spiritual herbs, materials, items, and skill scrolls, forming a small mound in the center of the inventory, reflect within Leo's mind.

Although most of them were only below the epic grade, their quantity almost made him salivate, making him curious about how a core formation realm being could accumulate this huge amount of wealth.

However, considering how many cultivators died from the invasion days ago, he could already form a guess inside his mind. Not to mention that those quasi-devils and beasts also drop items after they die.

"Wait, this is..."

As Leo was about to retract his divine senses from the dying inventory on his hand, a flickering wooden token under the countless materials caught his attention.

Its dark surface often flickered with ominous darkness, faintly covered by dozens of lights, mostly green and blue above it, almost causing him to be unable to notice its peculiarity.

He only felt its strangeness due to his premonition, making his heartbeat hasten due to pure anticipation.

"An epic forbidden item! I didn't expect that he had one of those. How lucky, I actually thought that he had chosen a skill scroll with destructive might.'

Unable to contain his curiosity, Leo, with a single thought, took out the wooden token inside the inventory with his divine senses, causing the stone in his palm to create a vortex of gray that instantly spat out the wooden token.

Feeling its rough surface and sensing the huge amount of energy it carried, Leo activated his soul scan skill, instantly revealing the item's information to his mind.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
