Chapter 70: 'Dog King' Cole's Secret
Chapter 70: 'Dog King' Cole's Secret
Just now, Rain's 'Power Surge' duration had ended.
His physique, which had been like Schwarzenegger's, returned to a regular person's build.
As it was the first time using this new skill, Rain discovered that he had underestimated its 'aftermath'.
At this moment, his entire body ached with soreness, and he almost lost his balance.
No wonder the panel's remarks stated that further enhancement was not possible at this stage.
If he were to enhance it further, it would indeed be powerful, but once the duration ended, the 'aftermath' might very well cause instant death!
However, Rain quickly realized that this was likely due to his currently low Constitution.
The 20 points of strength during Power Surge were supported by only 9 points of Constitution.
It turned out that Cole had created these things based on some records and formulas in this book.

Additionally, there were clearly two different handwriting styles in the book.
This was insane!
Was the leader of the Jackal Gang an intellectual?
Rain's first impression was that this book was more like a rare work of art.
So, Rain began to swiftly search through the rooms, one by one, and floor by floor.
"You...!" Cole instantly understood.
But Rain didn't hesitate; he took a step forward, and with a circular slash, the gigantic Jackal Queen's entire body was split in half. Blood and internal organs sprayed out from the cut, drenching the white-skinned Cole! "Ah! You bastard! I'll kill you! You killed my Maria!"
Rain wrapped the greatsword in leather and slung it over his shoulder.
Then, he immediately began searching 'Dog King' Cole's body.
In an instant, Rain felt that the soreness and numbness in his muscles, as if thousands of ants were biting him, vanished.
His entire body's condition improved instantly.
On Cole's neck, there was an extremely thick golden necklace. When Rain picked it up, it seemed to weigh three or four pounds.
Naturally, as the Fighting Dog Manor was the Jackal Gang's lair, there should be a place where 'Dog King' Cole stored important items.
"Do you know how much effort I put into raising Maria? I'll tear you to shreds!"
For example, one section was written like this:
Too heavy and not worth much.
No, it was even stronger than his prime by 1 point! In the next moment, as Rain silently recited 'Power Surge' again.
In a flash, a massive shadow blocked 'Dog King' Cole.
He finally understood how Cole had obtained that mutated Jackal Queen.
Too late!
But what made Cole unwilling to close his eyes in death was, how did Blackbeard offend them? As the Jackal Queen and 'Dog King' Cole both perished, the surrounding mutated hyenas, with their tails between their legs, scattered and fled. Rain swung the greatsword forcefully, shaking off the blood, and after a quick wipe, the steel greatsword, which had previously emanated a faint pale green glow, now shone like new.
It was indeed challenging for a small person to pull a large cart!
"You... dare to kill me. The Wilderness Brotherhood will avenge me sooner or later!" Cole, the white-skinned man, covered his neck with both hands, blood bubbling from his mouth, his face filled with resentment as he threatened Rain.
Rain knew that it was highly unlikely he would get any useful information from Cole.
The hidden compartment was also well-concealed, located behind an oil painting. It wasn't very spacious, just enough to fit a backpack.
So, there must be something fishy about this book!
After some testing, it was confirmed that the book was indeed harmless, and only then did Rain approach and quickly flipped through a few pages.
These three words caused Cole's pupils to constrict, and a chill ran down his spine, instantly freezing him to the spot!
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes wide with fury, and died instantly! In his final moments, Cole finally realized that the person before him was his own younger brother, Blackbeard.
But sorry!
The next second, the white and chubby Cole, with his knees slightly bent, was about to leap back.
The correct version is in Book Bar 69! 6=9+Book_Bar First Release of this Novel!
Soon, Rain discovered a secret compartment in a luxurious bedroom on the second floor.
Then, Rain walked up to the large tea table and gathered the dozens of gold coins and over a hundred silver coins into a large cloth bag.
"Are you sure?"
According to Cole's image as the 'Dog King,' weighing several hundred pounds, Rain couldn't possibly associate the book in front of him with Cole.
Rain's expression changed like a chameleon, smiling one moment and looking perplexed the next.
Because, in the instant Rain looked up, the remaining attribute points on his status panel suddenly changed from 1 to 0, and his Constitution surged from 9 to 10.
Instantly, Rain felt a surge of heat pump from his heart, causing his blood to rush and his veins to bulge, and his muscles to swell.
However, before touching the book, Rain remained cautious and stood at a distance, using the tip of his steel greatsword to gently lift the book's cover and flip through a few pages.
Therefore, Rain made a decisive move and slashed Cole's neck with his sword!
Facing the raging and rapidly approaching Cole, with his ferocious expression mixed with smugness, Rain lifted his head and gave him a mysterious smile.
"Damn! If only he had carried two bottles of that strange elixir, then I could have two beloved 'Marias.' "
Moving the oil painting aside, Rain found only a brown wooden box in the secret compartment. The box appeared quite valuable, and when Rain opened it, he was surprised to find a book inside.
The book's cover was very exquisite, seemingly crafted from pure silver, inlaid with noble sapphires, rubies, and turquoise, with intricate carvings of animals, patterns, and leaf veins.
"Swish!"
Rain quickly removed an emerald ring and a golden ring.
If his Constitution were higher, like 10 or 11 points or even more, the side effects of the 'Aftermath' would surely be more bearable.
As for the large amount of shillings and pennies, Rain completely ignored them.
Even if Rain were to die, he would never believe that Cole was a bookworm!
His entire body swelled again, transforming back into 'Schwarzenegger'! And so, as Cole, the 'Dog King,' looked on with a mixture of panic and bewilderment, Rain once again brandished his steel greatsword with 20 points of Strength! "Fury Strike!"
"Could it be that you also have an older brother who is the leader of the Wilderness Brotherhood?"
The contents of the book were extremely varied, and the handwriting was quite messy.
Rain had originally planned to capture Cole alive and interrogate him, but seeing Cole acting like a madman, babbling incoherently, and wildly swinging his greatsword at him, Rain had a change of heart.
"I wrote down the unknown words in the book on paper slips and showed them to several so-called scholars, but none of them could understand them! These pretentious scholars!"
".
The handwriting must have been written by that guy, Cole.
Naturally, the other handwriting must have been written by the original owner of the book.
