Chapter 72 Rich Island
The ocean was the territory of mutated beasts, so it was not unusual for mutated beasts to appear here.
"Very strong, at least a warrior-level mutated beast." Ye Shiya shifted her position and blocked Kong Yun behind her.
"Bang!" A wind blade rushed out of the forest, but it was blocked by an ice wall that rose in an instant.
A ten-meter-tall giant green wolf walked out of the forest like a king patrolling his territory.
"Wind Wolf!" Ye Shiya frowned.
Wind Wolves were considered one of the strongest mutated Wind Beasts amongst the many warrior-level beasts. They possessed wind-type abilities and could control the power of the wind to increase their speed. Furthermore, they could compress the wind into wind blades. Whether it was close combat or long-range attacks, they were very powerful. Ordinary B-level Adepts would not even have the time to defend against this Wind Wolf and would be killed in an instant.
It was very difficult to deal with a Wind Wolf even if it was an A-cla.s.s Adept. The battle between an Adept and a mutated beast was extremely dangerous, and one could lose their lives if they were careless.
"That Wind Blade"s flying speed is so fast." Kong Yun stood up. If Ye Shiya hadn"t reacted first, this wind blade might have hit Kong Yun directly.
Kong Yun looked at Ye Shiya"s back and smiled. This ice woman"s heart was not as cold as her face. She actually took action to protect herself. Although it was unnecessary, with Kong Yun"s current body, it was impossible for this wind blade to hurt him.
"Scholar-level mutated beast, are you coming or am I coming?" Kong Yun was eager to try. This was his first battle to become an A-cla.s.s Adept.
"I"ll do it!" Ye Shiya snorted faintly and her body instantly turned into ice. Light blue"s body emitted an astonishing chill.
Kong Yun hurriedly dodged to the side. He had suffered from this cold energy before, so he wouldn"t be stupid enough to stand within the range of the cold energy.
The Wind Wolf looked at Ye Shiya with fear. It could smell a trace of danger from this human. However, the Wind Wolf did not retreat. He was the king of this place. It was just two little guys. Why should it be afraid?
The Wind Wolf took the lead and controlled the surrounding wind. A faint green light appeared on its body and its speed doubled. In the blink of an eye, it crossed a distance of several hundred meters and its sharp claws grabbed towards Ye Shiya.
Looking at the claw that was about half a meter long, Kong Yun sighed slightly. This Wind Wolf was finished!
"Kalala!" The Wind Wolf"s body was instantly frozen, turning into an ice sculpture!
"What a fool! How dare you approach!" Kong Yun shook his head in disdain. Right now, Ye Shiya"s cold energy was incomparably shocking. The moment he approached Ye Shiya, the Wind Wolf would undoubtedly die.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, Kong Yun chuckled as he sliced open the Wind Wolf"s head and took out a fist-sized cyan crystal core.
Wind element core. This Wind Wolf possesses the Wind Blade ability. If a Wind element Adept were to refine this core, he would immediately possess the Wind Blade ability.
However, it was a pity that neither Kong Yun nor Ye Shiya were wind type abilities, so this wind type ability could only be temporarily stored away.
The value of a Scholar-ranked mutated beast"s crystal core was not low. Even in Haimen City, not many people could afford it. Even if they had a survival point, they might not be able to buy this kind of thing.
"If an ordinary person consumes the core of this mutated beast, will he become an Adept?" Kong Yun couldn"t help but ask.
"Ordinary people can only consume it directly." Ye Shiya glanced at Kong Yun.
"Explode and die?" Kong Yun added.
Ye Shiya nodded her head, "However, some potions have been developed that can greatly increase the chances of humans awakening abilities. However, this kind of potion is very unstable. The government is still studying it and is not preparing to announce it."
Kong Yun couldn"t help but curl his lips. The instability that Ye Shiya was talking about was in his view only because the government wanted to control this medicine that could change the human world in his own hands.
When he was in Zhan Long City, Kong Yun had encountered this kind of potion. Long Zaifei had this kind of potion on him. Long Xingtian had suddenly become an Adept. Perhaps it was also because of this kind of potion.
Awakened abilities were different from abilities obtained through potions. Awakened abilities could evolve continuously and had limitless possibilities, but potions could only allow humans to possess one ability.
If this Wind Wolf"s crystal core was turned into a potion, even if someone awakened a special ability, he would only be a Wind Blade Special Ability for the rest of his life. He would not be able to evolve, nor would he be able to increase it.
In the eyes of Kong Yun and the others, this potion was undoubtedly a chicken rib. However, it was not the case for those who could not awaken their abilities. It was already a great fortune to be able to awaken their abilities. Who would ask for so much?
In a large clan like the Ye Clan, There were also quite a few Adepts who had acquired abilities through potions. Although these Adepts" strengths were not comparable to those of the Awakened Adepts, they were superior in numbers and could be ma.s.s-produced. Even a simple Adept like Wind Blade would temporarily avoid the attacks of an S-cla.s.s Adept when the number of Adepts reached a certain level.
However, the price of this potion was very high. Even a large clan like the Ye Clan could not produce it without restrictions. According to Ye Shiya"s memories, there were only a few hundred people with abilities in the Ye Clan.
Kong Yun peeled off the Wind Wolf"s fur. A complete wolf"s skin should be able to cut out a few decent clothes.
As for the meat of the Wind Wolf, it was naturally used for barbecue. How could he miss the meat of a warrior-level mutated beast?
Seeing Kong Yun"s skillful movements, Ye Shiya sat aside and enjoyed Kong Yun"s labor calmly.
"Sister Yaya, I"m not boasting. My barbecue is perfect. Anyone who eats it must say good-bye." Kong Yun boasted as he roasted the meat.
"Don"t brag." Ye Shiya said with a straight face.
Kong Yun placed the roasted wolf meat in the coconut sh.e.l.l and handed it to Ye Shiya. There was also a set of knives and forks in the coconut sh.e.l.l, which Kong Yun had condensed himself to make it convenient for Ye Shiya to eat.
Ye Shiya"s eating movements were very elegant. This should be the etiquette that the children of large families must learn. It was just to eat barbecue meat for a while, but it actually gave this woman a sense of beauty.
In contrast, Kong Yun and Huo Feng"s eating habits weren"t that good-looking. One person and one bird were all hugging barbecue meat and crazily gnawing on it.
Normally, wolf meat was very sour, very old, and not delicious. However, this Wind Wolf meat was different. It was tender and juicy, and the seasoning was only a little salt. It could be cooked very deliciously.
Ye Shiya"s appet.i.te was very small. A small piece of Wind Wolf meat was enough to eat. In comparison, Kong Yun was a rice bucket. He had eaten dozens of jin of Wind Wolf meat alone.
"Hiccup!" Kong Yun, who was full of food and drink, lay on the ground and touched his round belly, not wanting to move.
After a night of silence, Ye Shiya slowly opened her eyes when the sunlight pierced through the clouds.
Kong Yun wiped the sweat off his forehead, and a person-tall basalt iron appeared beside him. This basalt iron was enough to forge a set of equipment.
"You didn"t sleep all night?" Ye Shiya asked.
"It"s not like you haven"t slept all night. Before you go to sleep, you have to circulate your abilities. There are only so many of them in one night." Kong Yun said with a smile.
He naturally wouldn"t tell Ye Shiya that he possessed a special ability technique that could be used anytime, anywhere, even when he was sleeping.
"What style do you want? I can make it right away." Kong Yun asked.
"I haven"t made up my mind yet. Can you do it for me after we get back?" Ye Shiya shook her head.
Although Ye Shiya was a little cold, she was still a woman in the end. As long as she was a woman, there was no one who did not love beauty. Naturally, the things she wore were beautiful.
"Go back!" Kong Yun sighed slightly, causing the atmosphere to become somewhat awkward.
After landing on this island, the two of them tacitly did not mention the word "go back", because they knew very well that this was almost impossible.
When they were swallowed by the giant whale, their brains were completely damaged. They were unable to locate them, and they did not even know where they were.
This island had never appeared on the charts of Haimen City. They were in a completely unfamiliar sea area. After the outbreak of the Heavenly Awakening Virus, humans had yet to set foot in the sea area.
Although Ye Shiya was an S-cla.s.s Adept, an S-cla.s.s Adept was not invincible. There were countless powerful mutated beasts living in the depths of the sea. Some powerful mutated beasts were powerful existences that even an S-cla.s.s Adept could not contend against.
Legend has it that an S-cla.s.s Adept from the island was killed by a mutated beast while exploring the sea because he was too arrogant.
"Wait for your ability to become stronger. Perhaps we can leave the ocean and approach the land." Kong Yun said.
This island was very rich in resources. There were a large number of mutated plants and a lot of basalt ore veins. Throwing away the disadvantage of not being able to return home, this island was simply a paradise for Adepts. There were plenty of resources here. Kong Yun was even confident that he could upgrade his ability to S cla.s.s here.
Looking at the towering trees, Kong Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head. The appearance of the Heavenly Awakening Virus caused many things that only existed in the Ancient Era to appear on Earth again.
The Azure Wolf was the king of this region. Other than the Azure Wolf, there weren"t any powerful mutated beasts nearby. Even if one appeared occasionally, it would be killed by Kong Yun. It was just an ordinary mutated beast. To the two of them, it wouldn"t pose any threat at all.
"Look, Blood Ginseng!" Kong Yun found a blood ginseng under a decaying tree. It was as thick as a thigh, and its quality far exceeded the two that the Ye Clan had given him.
"This blood ginseng is probably over a thousand years old." Ye Shiya gave a brief comment.
The fact that the virus had grown for more than a thousand years did not necessarily mean that it had grown for a thousand years. The existence of the Heavenly Awakening Virus could accelerate its growth.
"Good stuff, I"ll take it first." Kong Yun chuckled and stuffed this Blood G.o.d into his interspatial ring. With these things, it would be easier for him to cultivate to S cla.s.s.
