David took the genetic beast nucleus with his hands and directly popped it into his mouth without hesitation.
The crunching sounds of an hard objected being crushed came out from David's mouth as he casually grounded his teeth while excitedly checking for the three other treasures on the ground.
The first was the wolf fang. It gave David a familiar vibe as it constantly emitted a very mysterious and special wave.
Curious, David brought the small gang that was only ten centimetres long close to his face to study the patterns on its body since it kind of seem like an ancient and old fang.
As he did that, some of the waves the wolf fang was emitting touched upon his body and the cells in his body stirred as though something was call to them.
Unconsciously, David phased into his werewolf form and the feeling grew intense. The cells in his body suddenly began to jump around and cheer in excitement.
Strength seem to be merging into his body and cells and David couldn't help but let out a contented sigh.
Gradually, his strength and body began to grew in strength at a rapid pace. And David knew of he had sometime to immerse himself in the wave emitted by the fang, he would directly break through to the next stage in his werewolf from.
This made David very satisfied and he tied up the fang in a thick rope and placed it around his neck. That way, he would be able to constantly be in contact with it and also grow stronger with his help.
Now, on to the next item. David was very satisfied with the first three things he had seen and had huge expectations for the remaining two items.
He grabbed the old soft fur and it didn't take much examining to know that it was a skin made from a wolf but tat wasn't what interested David the most.
It was the fact that there was some writings on the map and also some drawings on the skin.
"Is this a map?" he was a bit confused as there was just a few faded out dewing if the map and David could tell that even if he was at the location drawn on the wolf fur, he still wouldn't be able to figure it out since the drawings on the map was so obscure.
And they were very faint that he could only see just five lines which didn't make sense.
David observed the map for a bit before he directly dropped it aside. Although a bit disappointed, that alone was enough to pull down his good mood.
He took the final item from the ground which was only a book.
And read the first page of the book. It was called the Myriad Changes.
It was a Manual, but not a training manual nor was it a Combat technique. It was a face changing and body changing ability.
David blinked his eyes a bit stunned by the technique. But he continued to read on.
The Myriad Changes allows one to change their face to different face entirely.
There are three levels to the technique.
The first level allows the user three different faces and body shapes to change into. Which was the maximum of the first stage.
The second level grants one the ability to swap between seven different forms to chose from.
While the third stage grants one the ability to swap between 10 different forms of the chosen target.
As David continued to read on, he was at first a bit stunned by the usefulness of the technique and couldn't help but smile as this manual was exactly what he needed at this exact moment since he was being pursued by a whole Pack of wolves.
This manual should be able to grant him some time and he could even hope to escape this situation alive.
But when he read the final introduction to the Myriad Changes, his eyes opened wide in shock and his body trembled in astonishment before he eventually burst out into wide laughter of joy.
That was because when one practices the technique to the final stage and reach perfection, the user would be able to manipulate his own smell, heartbeat and even slightly change its life signs or power waves into an entirely different person's.
And if the person wasn't talented enough, they can be able to block the their body scent, heartbeat and life signs from being detected which was also terrifying in it own way.
Preciously if David was 30 percent sure of escaping this predicament, with this manual in hand, he is at last 70 percent sure he would escape this place unscathed.
David grinned from ear to ear as he gaze d lovingly at the technique. But his eyes soon caught sight of a warning written on the back cover of the book.
"Avoid using the technique for a long period of time when in the perfection state. One might develop multiple personalities from using it too much. "
This made David frown slightly and made him a little wary of the technique. Multiple personalities, he had a feeling he was going to hate having them.
He then turned to gaze at the requirements for practicing the technique.
It was stated that it was an incredibly hard technique to learn and even get initiated into.
It also said that only a seasoned Phantom Beast master would have hopes of reaching the first level after a few years of practice because they are the only ones who possess the deep level of control the technique requires from one's body.
This instantly made David frown. He was very confident about the astonishing amount of control he had over his body but he hadn't tested out the true limits of his level of control as of yet.
So he didn't know if his control was more powerful or less powerful than a Phantom Beast master was.
"Guess we'll have to find out then." David muttered to himself and he sat comfortably on the ground as though In meditation.
He took the book and began practicing the technique. Time passed, a second, 30 seconds, a minute and just as the second minute time was about to reach, David's face began to spasm repeatedly and contorted strangely as though he was in an excruciating pain.
Suddenly, his face started to shake and his bones began rearranging in a strange bit peculiar way.
In just a few seconds, David's face had changed from that of a 16 year old youth to that of a middle aged man with a sinister expression and two sharp eye brows that revealed that he didn't care about anyone else.
Although, his hair colour was still the same though.
David felt his face with his fingers and his middle aged face wore a strange smile on his face.
His nose appeared to be too long though. But as he tried to change it, he felt an excruciating pain in his cheek bones and nose.
This only served to remind David that he was still at the first level of the technique and if he tried to make any changes now, that would make it his second form.
And the first level consists of only three forms. He needed to be careful not to make any sudden changes with his body.
David looked around the room and couldn't find any mirror but he saw a stainless metal in the room.
David checked himself out with the stainless metal and was stunned.
Although he had the face of a middle aged man, he had terminated the transformation without changing his body shape.
"Dammit!" That was one whole transformation wasted already. But David wasn't very bothered by it.
"This should do for now." He needed to heal his body first as he was only half healed.l and he needed the pill to do so but there was no water available in the house.
And David could suspect that there was barely any clean water remaining in this part of the city.
But still, he needed to soak himself in that strange pill to heal up. That was his only plausible hope unless he goes on a rampage an skill every human in the vicinity, ducking them dry of their blood.
David subconsciously locked his lips at the thought and his eyes glowed red for a but but then, he shook his head slightly.
"It's becoming more and more difficult." David gritted his teeth as he appeared in thought.
A few minutes later, a middle aged man with a slightly short stature walked out from the house David had just entered.
As he stepped out from the house and down the stairs, something abruptly grabbed hold of him by the legs.
"Please sir! Give us something to eat." Two young children both male and female no more than ten years old grabbed David by the legs as they pleaded and begged him for just a small piece of food.
David gazed at the kids blankly for a second before he abruptly removed his legs from their grasp, making the two children fall down the mud.
His expression was indifferent as he stared at the two kids with coldness in his eyes.tat made them shiver and back away in fear.
He then turned around and left that location as he said to the kids.. "Stay alive."
