Chapter 1035: Unique Beasts (Part One)
Great Priest Nash laughed and explained, “They are completely different from fierce beasts. Although these unique beasts" size is much larger compared to fierce beasts, their combat strength is weak and pathetic. They can only survive in the Vicious Swamp where there isn"t anything that can prey on them.”
“Now you say that, I"m really curious. Let"s catch one and see!” Fei"s curiosity was piqued.
“Haha! There is nothing hard about that!” Bull Clan Chief Nowitzki laughed and waved his hand, and a powerful streak of warrior energy dashed out. He captured a weak, animal-shaped fierce beast from the edge of the [Metal Desert] and pulled it above the Vicious Swamp.
Bam!
This screaming and struggling fierce beast was crushed into pieces like a hammered watermelon, and the stinky blood and flesh landed into the clear water.
While Fei was confused by Nowitzki"s action, something unexpected suddenly happened. After sensing a bit of blood, the calm water suddenly rolled and turned as if it was boiling.
The white bottom of the lake gradually started to wriggle and move violently after a moment. In the end, the entire lake was chaotic, and Fei clearly saw the white, mud-like bottom of the lake coiling back up, taking in the blood and flesh of the fierce beast. Then, like a demonic sponge, it wriggled and completely absorbed the flesh of that 50 meters tall fierce beast as if it was chewing.
At this moment, many life and spirit energy fluctuations suddenly appeared in the silent and lifeless lake that seemed dead.
Fei was shocked by this sudden change.
Just a moment before, the king carefully scanned the area within ten kilometers of him with his vast spirit energy, and he didn"t detect any fluctuations of life energy of soul energy.
Fei"s spirit energy detection had never failed him before. However, he wasn"t able to sense these spirit energy waves! What happened? What was going on?
Now, people could even see the lifeform in the lake with their naked eyes.
"Meat mountains" rolled and tumbled in the water. It turned out that the white, mud-like bottom of the lake was the soft bellies of giant lifeforms.
In reality, these strange lifeforms had soft meat all over their bodies, and they were in different shapes. Most of them were in a thick, cylinder shape, and they looked like caterpillars that were enlarged by many times or piles of fat tissues. While wriggling, they fought for the flesh of the fierce beast.
The soul-spirit energy surges came from the "soft meat."
“Could it be that these mystical creatures mastered spirit energy? That is why they avoided being detected by me?” Fei felt like his eyes were opened, and he thought, “There are all kinds of things in nature! It is truly fascinating, and humans can never truly guess all the wonders of the world.”
On the other side, the orc masters such as Nowitzki saw this scene and got all excited. While laughing, they started to hunt and kill these unique lifeforms with a level of pa.s.sion that Fei had never seen before.
O"Neal was the most excited orc master out of the bunch.
“Hahahaha!” This giant bear was engulfed in warrior energy flames, and he grasped his hand and directly grabbed a unique beast that was more than 100 meters long out of the water.
Then, O"Neal slapped his hands casually, and the unique beast was cut into several hundred small pieces that were of equal size.
Instead of blood flowing everywhere, streaks of unique liquid that contained a mystical aroma flowed out. This was a strange yet rare scene.
Chapter 1035: Unique Beasts (Part Two)
At this moment, the surprise on Fei"s face intensified.
From the frequencies of the soul-spirit energy waves, even though this meat-mountain-like unique beast was cut into many pieces, its vitality wasn"t reduced at all! Instead, it seemed like its life energy increased.
From the energy waves that this unique beast emitted, Fei didn"t detect any pain or struggle that most lifeforms would experience before death, and it also didn"t seem angry. After a moment of panic, it calmed down as if it had been used to this.
After searching for a bit, O"Neal took out a bright crystal from a piece of pink, fresh meat before casually tossing it into the lake. That crystal was about the size of an adult"s fist.
Fei"s eyes lit up.
He discovered that all the soul-spirit energy waves emitted by the unique beast came from this crystal.
The king turned around and observed, and he discovered that almost every orc master was doing what Bear O"Neal did.
After the excited orc masters captured the giant unique beasts from the lake, they used their warrior energies to cut the unique beasts into pieces. They kept the aromatic fresh meat and tossed the mystical silver crystal, which contained the soul-spirit energy waves, back into the lake.
Soon, chopped-up fresh meat piled up around the edge of the Vicious Swamp.
Now, Fei finally realized what was going on. These orcs were hunting for food!
These unique beasts were giant, and their meat was pink and aromatic. These unique beasts were top-quality ingredients, and their meat must be rare delicacies to the orcs living in the [Banished Land]. After all, ordinary orcs couldn"t come here to hunt down unique beasts.
However, Fei"s attention was still completely drawn to the silver and shiny crystals. He waved his hand and instantly grabbed a crystal that was just tossed into the water.
This silver crystal was about the size of an adult"s fist, and it had many clear facets as if it was a piece of top-quality diamond that a highly-advanced jeweler worked on with great tools. Under the bright sunlight, the crystal appeared to be brilliant, and it was reflective and didn"t contain any impurities. Everything could be seen inside, and the sunlight was refracted into streaks of colorful lights.
This crystal contained no magic energy, but it emitted active spirit energy waves. It felt like a soul lived in each crystal.
Now that Fei held one in his hand, it seemed like there was nothing inside. The soul-spirit energy waves disappeared. Regardless of how Fei scanned this crystal with his spirit energy, he couldn"t find anything wrong or spot the traces of soul-spirit energy waves.
“How is this possible? Did I detect it wrong?” Fei was even more shocked.
He tried to exert some force, and he discovered that this crystal was extremely tough. Even though he used 30 percent of his strength, he couldn"t crush this crystal.
Fei"s curiosity got stronger and stronger as he wondered, “This is too strange!”
“Your Majesty! You misjudged it this time! These crystals look pretty, but they are useless. Warrior energy can"t pa.s.s through them, and they can"t be engraved with totem symbols. Besides, since their texture is tough, it is impossible to turn them into decorative pieces. It is better to throw them back into the water so that they can absorb the energy in nature. In about a year, it will make another giant piece of fresh meat, hahaha!” Pope Entus walked to Fei and laughed.
Fei frowned and asked in surprise, “Your Holiness, you mean that after this crystal is placed in this water for a year, it will revive itself?”
