Chapter 50 - 48: Returning (requesting for more readers, today seems very important)_1
Shi Yun Feng had a profound fear in his heart.
They were far away from Stone Village’s ancestral land. The village’s Sacrificial Spirit might not have the time to protect them. Moreover, the Green Scale Eagle was inadvertently injured in the previous fight. If the people from Liu Village truly wanted to harm them, they would have a tough time resisting.
The enemy was too strong, full of vigor and vitality, like a furnace volcano on the brink of eruption.
The cold air around them seemed to evaporate, and each of them was as fierce as a roaming beast, capable of splitting stones and shattering tablets with ease. To kill them would be as easy as flipping one’s hand.
“The people of Liu Village, how do you plan to divide it?” Shi Yun Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
The corpse of a Species of the Ancient Times, the treasured bones containing Treasure Rune, was undoubtedly the most precious treasure. He suspected that the reason the people of Liu Village were here was because of this object.
The Bloodline Treasure Technique of the Species of the Ancient Times was incomparably precious, one of those things that one might stumble upon but could not seek. Even in some great clans, they were regarded as clan-guarding techniques, available only to the core disciples of the clan. Once word gets out, it will inevitably cause a bloodbath…
In the vast Wilderness, hardly anyone could resist such temptation. Even he was no exception and felt his heart surge with excitement.
But, if the other party truly demanded the treasure technique, what should he do then?
The old village chief of Stone Village furrowed his brows and thought hard about how he should handle such a situation.
The treasure technique of the Species of the Ancient Times was far too precious. Once missed, it would likely be a lifelong regret. However, the strength of the other party was too strong. After pondering over it again and again, if something terrible were to transpire, Shi Yun Feng felt that he would have no other choice but to risk his old bones.
Making up his mind, Shi Yun Feng couldn’t help but stand a little straighter.
This was an opportunity that could bring about a sort of upliftment for the village. He didn’t want to let it go for nothing.
“Rest assured, our demands are simple and won’t involve the Suanm Beast’s treasure technique. Bathed in the great glow of the Willow God, we of Liu Village advocate civilization and have a much broader future. We are not interested in the Suanni Cultivation Technique!” Lin Zhuang spoke confidently.
Initially, he planned to seize the Suanni Cultivation Technique along with everything else. However, the Stone Village people’s ‘fight to the death’ attitude made him change his mind.
Lin Zhuang didn’t want to create a huge mess. Lord Willow God had specifically instructed him to prioritize the completion of the mission.
“Not interested in the treasure technique?” Shi Yun Feng was startled. He began to wonder if he had misunderstood.
Could anyone resist the lure of the Bloodline Treasure Technique of a Species of the Ancient Times?
“We need the heart and ten liters of True Blood from this Suanni Beast, along with one liter of brain marrow and all of its internal organs.”
Without waiting for his reaction, Lin Zhuang stated his demands straightforwardly.
“Besides these, the entire carcass of the Suanni Beast belongs to Stone Village.
We won’t fight for it. We mean what we say.”
Lin Zhuang and his men swore solemnly, guaranteeing the people of Stone Village.
“This…”
Shi Yun Feng was somewhat taken aback. He couldn’t believe it.
He suspected that the people of Liu Village were trying to trick him. However, considering their strength, they had no need for any underhanded tricks. They could just forcefully take what they wanted. Aside from risking their lives, the people of Stone Village had no other choice.
“You really only want those things?” Shi Yun Feng asked tentatively. Although the True Blood of a Ferocious Beast was one of the most precious things of a Beast, on par with its brain marrow, this Suanni was quite large. The animal’s True Blood must be more than twenty liters, maybe even more.
The enemy wanted ten liters, so there would still be another ten left. That would be enough for the tiny Little Dot to bathe in and temper its body. However, the Little Dot was small, and the other villagers might not be as lucky.
“People of Liu Village keep to their words. You can trust us on this, especially since our two villages are neighbors and we see each other often.” Lin Zhuang nodded.
“Well then, take it!” Sighed Shi Yun Feng. He was reluctant to agree, yet he was also afraid to anger these visitors from Liu Village.
In the Wilderness, the law of the jungle prevails, and might is right. Even if they forcefully took his things, he wouldn’t have any say. But if they truly could keep their word, then he wouldn’t mind agreeing. There would be some losses, but those were still within his tolerance.
“Thank you!”
Lin Zhuang and the others bowed their fists, swiftly and decisively starting to work.
A moment later.
Ten litres of Suanni Blood, one litre of Suanni marrow, one heart, plus a full set of organs – all were collected.
This Suanni had died not long ago. Everything was still steaming hot, with glowing patterns shifting around. Everything was very fresh.
Besides that, Lin Zhuang and the others didn’t take anything else.
“We won’t impose on you, Village Chief Stone. You are welcome to visit Liu Village in the future!”
Having secured all the required items, Lin Zhuang and the others turned around and left.
On the way back, they also took some well-preserved corpses of ferocious beasts.
“Liu Village… Liu Village…”
Watching Lin Zhuang and his crew gradually disappear into the distance, Shi Yun Feng lapsed deep into thought.
He became more and more curious about this newly-emerged neighboring village. What kind of place was it? They surprisingly turned down the chance to learn about the incredible treasure that the Suanni was.
If these people really wanted to seize something, there would be virtually no resistance. But they really did keep their promise. Once they got what they wanted, they decisively left without muddying the waters or showing any lingering attachment.
“It appears we from Stone Village should pay this neighbor a visit when we have the time…” After murmuring to himself, Shi Yun Feng shook off his thoughts, gestured to his followers to carry the corpse of the Suanni, and they all hurried off towards Stone Village.
Two days later, at daybreak.
The land was adorned with a golden sheen, reflecting dazzling rays of sunlight. The brilliant sunshine streamed through the trees, casting mottled shadows, and appearing like two transparent golden belts sprinkled with dust.
At the entrance of Liu Village.
Lin Zhuang and his team returned safely.
After delivering the beast corpses they had brought back to old man Lin, their first order of business was to go up the mountain to see Jiang Hui.
“Lord Willow God, here are the materials you asked for. We fulfilled our mission and brought everything back. You were right; there really was a Species of the Ancient Times that died deep within the mountains.” Lin Zhuang bowed deeply, while Lin Chen and the others neatly arranged the Suanni’s blood, heart, and other items on the altar.
“Very well, put all these items into a cauldron immediately, add a suitable amount of common beast blood, and when the items in the cauldron start to boil, put this into the cauldron and continue boiling it for seven days and seven nights. Remember, the fire must not be interrupted midway through!” Secretly exclaiming that he had truly entered a perfect world, Jiang Hui immediately uses the Divine Ability Dream of Millet, pulling Lin Zhuang and the others into the illusion, and hands the Epic Grade Dragon Egg he had previously summoned to them.
The Epic Grade Dragon Egg is not particularly large, about half a person’s height, covered with agate-like, five-colored scale armor. Weighing several tons, it was too heavy for an ordinary person to lift.
“Rest assured, Lord Willow God!” Lin Zhuang responded earnestly. They had already prepared to stay awake for seven days and nights..
