I rested my my mind and took a nap for several hours. After all, continuous hours of doing this has exhausted my mind even if my body's feeling great.
Getting back up, I moved to the top of his chest this time around. Continuous streams of blood left his body and were constantly suppressed before being absorbed. If the guy had his mind straight and was watching this, I'm sure he'd vomit blood from the rage and go insane. But thinking about the slow speed, I decided to bring it up a notch.
I began digging into his flesh like a digger where his heart is. But I stopped once again at the sternum, . They are extremely white and glossy, with a metallic glow. Naturally, using my teeth will be the equivalent of a human biting an iron ingot. But thinking of my previous medical knowledge, I couldn't help but smile into an evil grin.
I had once taken three years of medical class back in high school, as they were offering it as credit for college in the future. I learned forensics, human body systems, and medical intervention. Forensics is just finding cause of death in crimes. Human body systems is basically the study of the human body. Medical intervention is basically finding the best solution to treat or cure a condition like diseases or mental disabilities as an example.
Back then, I just took the classes for school and college credit to fill my schedule. There wasn't that many students in the class either, but I admit that the female teacher was a nice person to talk to. The projects and work wasn't all that bad either. I really didn't have an interest as much as I thought, so I dropped out in my senior years.
With this knowledge, I know very well the location of bone marrow. The chest bone, the sternum, is naturally a source of bone marrow. Based on what I read in novels, it's shouldn't be impossible to suck his bone marrow dry! I couldn't help but evilly laugh inwardly. Although the move is quite demonic, who's around to say that it's bad?
I began using devour to create a suction force on the bone. Seeing no response, I increased my expenditure of Qi. Only after expending half of my Qi did the metallic glow seem to move towards my mouth. A thin liquid stream left the bone marrow before entering my mouth. There was little resistance as it entered my bloodstream before splitting into five parts, which settled in the five parts of my spine.
As I have an exoskeleton, my insides are soft. I don't have any bones inside except for the tough tissues surrounding my organs which is kinda like the cartilage of an ear. The bones are right under the exoskeleton like the skull of a human. They are separated into five plates which allows for a little flexibility.
The five strands entered those five spines before vanishing. I didn't feel much so I tried again. I tried again and another strand entered before vanishing into my bones. I noticed that they were slightly brighter. Recovering my Qi for ten minutes, I attempted once again but with finer control. I still got inefficient results and was a little stumped. Thinking for several minutes, I tried another idea.
I infused my teeth with devour laws which turned them black. I only wish they were permanently infused. I bit down hard but it sounded like scraping metal. Under the strong devouring force, the metallic luster seemed to congeal on the surface as white, beautiful beads. I slurped them up, which entered my body. Unfortunately, I don't have taste buds or I'm sure it would've been tasty.
The beads entered equally into my spines, which caused them to significantly glow with vitality. Rich blood seemed to be produced faster which is a great sign. With this better speed, I began sucking this guy's marrow. Several minutes later, I rested once again before going at it.
After an unknown amount of rest and extraction, I seemed to have taken most of it from the sternum. Now, it just looks like a normal old bone you'd seen on modern Earth. In my body, my spinal plates are glowing just as bright as the guys were. Rich vitality and blood seemed to be constantly released, making the place very lively. I haven't been this happy since I went on that trip to Disney World.
With this, I easily shattered the sternum before gaining access to the heart. Even though half of his blood essence is gone, the heart is still pumping strongly with vitality. Each pump was enough to send a little marine fish fleeing in fear. If I was still on Earth and saw this, I'd probably be slightly disgusted but also intrigued.
I carefully found the left side of the heart, where oxygen-rich blood is pumped. This is a high-pressured organ, so biting down would probably spray blood and open the wound further, killing him possibly. I want to enjoy his reaction, so doing this would be unfortunate.
Instead, I sent thin strands of devour laws in multiple spots of the left side. This little pricks popped holes open, causing thin jets to spray out. All of them entered my mouth, which was much more than what I received beforehand. I went at this for several hours before coming to a stop. The guy's heartbeat has become weak. Keeping him alive is important. Plus, those soul shards look like they're about to break lose.
I slid off his body before easily breaking the energy shield which had weakened by more than half. I ejected water from my underside like a squid ejecting ink, before rapidly disappearing. I descended into the waters before finding a sandy area with no rocks. I excavated sand out before burying myself underneath, returning the sand back to it's original look. Satisfied, I lazily decided to wait.
