"But why do this?"
The purple-haired woman was very confused.
"Zi Ji." Di Tian turned around and said calmly, "You don't need to worry about this matter."
It was just a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear less than ten thousand years old.
In the past, when His Majesty the Dragon God was still alive, besides true dragons, all Life was on the true dragon's menu, a law of the jungle, and the tyrannical Dragon Clan ruled all Life.
His uncle needed its spirit ring, so it had to offer it, sacrificing its Life for the noble Dragon King. It would just be considered food for the Dragon King.
Di Tian looked at Zi Ji.
Regarding the Master's matter, he only told Bi Ji, who needed to play a role.
"That Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear will die. I will tell Xiong Jun later that I did it, and then I will suppress his opinion."
The Master and uncle came out this time with a Limit Douluo leading the team. If he went to scare that Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, he was afraid it would scare it to death, and it was too unreasonable for him to attack a bear cub less than ten thousand years old. So he chose to let the weaker Zi Ji go.
A Hell Demonic Dragon King over two hundred thousand years old.
There was no way Xiong Jun would be willing to do such a thing. He didn't trust that guy Wan Yao Wang with it. The only ones he trusted were Chi Wang and Zi Ji, but Chi Wang's cultivation was stronger than Zi Ji's, and if it was just about scaring, Zi Ji's Dragon Might was more suitable for this kind of thing.
As for sending another Spirit Beast to its death?
According to the information from the Master, Di Tian felt that the one he could bear to abandon, the one that best fit the description of having strong attack and defense capabilities, was the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. As for other weaker ones, since it was the Master and uncle's request, the better the Spirit Beast prepared, the better.
"There are still a few Spirit Beasts that you need to scare away later, but the next one will be tomorrow, and then every other day after that," Di Tian said.
Zi Ji did not move.
Letting Spirit Beasts die meaninglessly? This was not the Beast God she knew, nor was it the Beast God recognized by all Spirit Beasts.
"Go do it," Di Tian said with a strong attitude.
"Yes."
Zi Ji left.
Di Tian took out a golden dragon scale, with strange patterns engraved on it. A faint Dragon Might emanated from it, and in a trance, it was as if a rebellious and brutal golden dragon was roaring up at the sky.
He had to report whether to tell Zi Ji.
...
"What good luck."
Mu Lao suddenly exclaimed, his voice full of laughter.
"?"
An Zhen and the others looked over.
They saw Mu Lao reaching out, pointing a finger at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right forelimb. A ray of bright spirit power cut through, directly dismembering it. Then, upon dissection, beneath the fur and flesh, a bone with a dark golden glow was revealed, emanating a strong spirit power fluctuation. It was clearly a Spirit Bone.
"Is this a Spirit Bone?" Huo Yutong was a little confused. Was there even a Spirit Bone in this part?
"Palm bone, right palm bone," An Zhen said, a surprised look flashing in his dark eyes.
Indeed, a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right palm bone appeared in the original work.
But it wasn't this bear, but Xiao Xiao's third spirit ring in the original work, produced by a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear over two thousand years old. It was clearly not the same bear as this one.
Good luck, a gift of fate? Or some other reason?
"If a Spirit Beast is emotionally agitated before dying, the probability of producing a Spirit Bone will be slightly higher," Mu En said. "Perhaps this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, known for its attack and defense, was severely wounded by you, An Zhen, using your vital energy, which caused it to be extremely unwilling before its death, coupled with some luck."
"Probably."
It was indeed possible for a Spirit Beast to be quite unwilling if it was killed by someone's vital energy.
An Zhen stopped thinking about the reason.
Who cares? Are you not going to take a treasure when it's right in front of you?
An Zhen turned and explained to Huo Yutong and the others, "The palm bone is a type of external Spirit Bone. It can grow continuously with the Spirit Master's growth and is ranked alongside the hundred-thousand-year torso bone and head Spirit Bone as the most desired treasures for Spirit Masters."
"The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right palm bone is even more of a top-grade item. Our academy's confidential library has a research note on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. According to the research of our predecessors, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right arm is even stronger." An Zhen pointed at the dead Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's huge dark golden claw and said, "You have also learned about this Spirit Beast. Those claws are the main reason the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has such a formidable reputation."
"And the palm bone can give a Spirit Master the same ability as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's claws."
This information was recorded in Shrek Academy, written down by a Shrek senior after personally consulting a Titled Douluo who had obtained a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's left palm bone.
The girls' faces showed joy.
Gu Yuena's acting was getting better and better.
What palm bone, it was not as good as her hand at all.
Huo Yutong and the girls were truly excited.
external Spirit Bone!
Even without An Zhen's detailed explanation below, they knew that this treasure was priceless, a more precious and rare existence than a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.
Moreover, they remembered An Zhen had said earlier that his first Spirit Ability could replicate Spirit Bones.
"However," An Zhen looked at the excited Wang Donger, "to absorb this Spirit Bone, in addition to the body needing to withstand greater pressure, there must also be no corresponding arm bone in the body."
"Ah?!" The smile on Wang Donger's face froze.
The other girls were also stunned when they heard An Zhen's restrictions.
Except for Wang Donger, the other girls had not absorbed a right arm bone.
"Indeed." Mu En looked at An Zhen with satisfaction. Not bad, his cultivation hadn't fallen behind, and his knowledge was very rich. An Zhen was truly seriously studying the confidential library's materials.
"What a pity~" Wang Donger sighed. The disappointment on her pretty little face quickly dissipated. "Never mind, it's already very good to have two arm bones that are very suitable for me, and I don't lack offensive Spirit Abilities."
Wang Donger was very open-minded.
Whether it was Golden Radiance or Light-Breaking Demon, both of these Spirit Bones had a very high compatibility with her and provided a great boost, no less than a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone.
Although external Spirit Bones were of great help to Spirit Masters, her future was not something that a mere external Spirit Bone could determine.
Next was the distribution of the Spirit Bone, or rather, the order of absorption. Other Spirit Bone teams might fight over such a precious treasure, and those with good relationships and good personal character would humbly yield to each other, but here with An Zhen, there was no need to fight, no need to snatch, and no need to yield. Everyone would get a share, they just had to wait a while.
An Zhen made an imprint of this Spirit Bone.
"With my current cultivation as a high-level Spirit Ancestor, replicating this Spirit Bone will only take about forty days," An Zhen looked at the girls. "Who wants to absorb it first?"
The girls exchanged glances.
"Brother An Zhen, you absorb it first," Huo Yutong said softly. "If Xiao Xiao were awake, she would definitely make the same choice. And if you become stronger, you can replicate this Spirit Bone even faster."
The other girls nodded.
"Okay." An Zhen did not decline. Anyway, everyone would get one later; it was just a matter of waiting for a period of time.
Taking out a cushion, An Zhen sat cross-legged to meditate and absorb the Spirit Bone. Under the guidance of spirit power, the Spirit Bone transformed into a mass of dark golden liquid that poured into An Zhen's right hand. At first, it felt like a warm liquid enveloping his palm. As the absorption and refinement progressed, the originally warm liquid suddenly became scorching hot. The absorption of the palm bone was far more difficult than a spirit ring. As the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's most powerful ability, it was not so easy to obtain. However, the next moment, An Zhen's vital energy suddenly boiled, and the powerful vital energy directly suppressed the dark golden liquid in his right hand.
With his body martial soul attached, even by merely mobilizing his vital energy, An Zhen had suppressed and severely wounded the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Even if that Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was at its peak, it would only be slaughtered in front of An Zhen, let alone a mere palm bone now, which couldn't make any waves.
Powerful mental force and vital energy worked together.
Not going to be refined obediently?
Then I'll hold you down and reshape you into my form!
The scorching dark golden liquid was instantly suppressed, arbitrarily kneaded and transformed into different shapes by the powerful vital energy and mental force, and forcibly refined and absorbed by An Zhen.
He didn't know how much time had passed.
An Zhen opened his eyes.
The aroma of roasted meat lingered in his nostrils.
With a glance, he saw that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had already been dissected. Much of its meat had been cut off and piled up like a small mountain in an extra-large wooden basin after being processed. The girls and Mu Lao sat on several clean mats, eating roasted meat, like a picnic, or rather, it was a picnic.
"Brother An Zhen!"
Huo Yutong saw An Zhen stand up and stretch his limbs. The blue-haired little cutie brought a plate of roasted meat strips, brushed with honey, and carried the basin to An Zhen, saying, "Brother An Zhen, eat."
Huo Yutong, who was determined to become An Zhen's perfect wife, always carried a complete set of cooking utensils and various seasonings with her, making it convenient to cook for An Zhen at any time.
While waiting for An Zhen and Xiao Xiao to cultivate, they had only eaten breakfast. They had been on the road and fought earlier, so by this time, everyone was a little hungry. And coincidentally, as a powerful Spirit Beast, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's meat was a great tonic and very rare. The number of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears was extremely small, usually only appearing in the core area. Outside, even with money and power, you couldn't eat it. Mu Lao smiled and said that Xuan Zi once called this item one of the top ten rare delicacies in the world, with delicious, melt-in-your-mouth meat.
Mu En dissected.
Gu Yuena summoned clean water.
Wu Feng made a fire.
Huo Yutong roasted the meat.
Wang Donger and Ning Tian processed the bloody meat, with Gu Yuena and Wu Feng helping. Everyone worked together to create this delicious meal.
"Mmm, Yu Tong's cooking is amazing!" Xiao Xiao had woken up a little earlier than An Zhen. At this moment, her mouth was already greasy from eating, and her cheeks were puffed out like a cute hamster.
"Indeed." An Zhen fully agreed. The rich meat juice entering his stomach, enjoying delicious food was truly an indispensable pleasure in Life.
Huo Yutong's talent in cooking was no less than her current talent in cultivation.
"Mmm."
Gu Yuena turned into an eating machine.
She hadn't expected the Ice Dragon King to have such culinary skills. She would have to ask Di Tian later what Spirit Beast meat was the most delicious and have him send delicacies from the Star Dou Great Forest.
"It's mainly because the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's meat quality is good," Huo Yutong humbly said, her bright starry eyes looking at the happy expression on An Zhen's face from enjoying the food. Happy!
