Chapter 172 - Mustard Eclipse Insect"These Cloud Beasts died for only two Cloud Beast Crystals, but hundreds of thousands were injured. Is this worth it?" Xiang Yun had a puzzled expression.
Luo He"s countenance was extremely calm. "From your point of view, they do things with greed and evil. In my opinion, they are merely there for the sake of survival.""Survive?" The puzzlement on Xiang Yun"s face deepened. Just for the sake of survival, why did they have to go all out to plunder? And why did they not hesitate to be reduced to rations in the stomachs of other Cloud Beasts?
"That"s right, it"s for survival!""Cloud Beasts are different from humans, they are naturally not suited for cultivation. In order to be able to resist the abuse and killing of powerful human warriors, they can only use ten times, or even a hundred times the amount of time humans use to cultivate. It"s just that they want to become more powerful so that they won"t be killed by humans or their own kind!"
"Their world isn"t like the world of humans. Humans have their own laws, their own sect rules, and they can make rules that take care of the weak, maintain order, and shine."
"Although these rules are meaningless to true experts, they can indeed protect the interests of the weak."
"However, these rules do not exist in the world of the Cloud Beasts. The law of the jungle has been something that they must learn from the moment they were born.""The weak must master all sorts of escaping abilities. Even if they wander around the edge of danger, survive in the dark of the earth, swamps, or even the remains of corpses, they must still persevere and live on."
As for the strong, in order to obtain more rich resources, they would have to become stronger. They would not be overwhelmed by others, would not be destroyed by heavenly tribulation, and would not allow their hard-earned wealth to vanish. All they could do was plunder and kill to become stronger themselves!
"The world of the Cloud Beasts is not strong, what awaits them is death!"
"Not powerful, what awaits them is death!" This simple sentence caused an inexplicable sense of majesty to rise up in Xiang Yun"s heart.
He seemed to see mountains of bones, frozen blood, and decayed corpses in the vast Silvermoon Forest, layer upon layer, layer after layer, under the ice and snow that never melted!
For a time, Xiang Yun was speechless, just standing there in a daze. He discovered to his astonishment that his current situation seemed to be no different from that of these Cloud Beasts.
On the surface, he appeared to be of n.o.ble status, a relative of the royal family and was admired by many. However, the truth was that there were countless people who wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate him.
He did not dare to reach a higher position because he was connected to someone who was related to him by blood. He could only use his weak strength to play a game with these dangers. He secretly made himself stronger because if he did not become stronger, he would die!"I see." Finally, Xiang Yun nodded with a grave expression.
Upon seeing this, the corners of Luo He"s mouth curled up into a rare smile. Her ice-cold face gave off a breathtaking feeling, giving off an extremely neutral yet beautiful feeling."The reason why they are fighting so desperately for these two crystals is naturally because the Cloud Beast Crystals of these two Cloud Beasts are simply too attractive. Two high-grade Cloud Beasts from the Desolate Land is enough to make them go crazy."
"I wonder which lucky fellow will be able to obtain these two Cloud Beast Crystals. I"m afraid that it won"t be long before his cultivation increases greatly and he will directly step into the king level!"
No one wants to miss a chance to rise to the heavens in a single leap. "
Hearing this, Xiang Yun"s heart skipped a beat, a strange expression on his face. Wasn"t these two Cloud Beast Crystals coincidentally in his body?
"Just by eating these two Cloud Beast Crystals, these Cloud Beasts are able to become king level Cloud Beasts?"
"More than king level, the beast crystals of these two Cloud Beasts are not simple. If it was devoured by other Cloud Beasts, the benefits obtained would be incalculable. Do you know how many Cloud Crystals that King Level Red Fiery Lion would be able to obtain?"
"How many Cloud Crystals?"
The Cloud Crystal was different from the Beast Crystal. It was a kind of crystal that was made from the condensed cloud energy of heaven and earth. It contained pure cloud energy and could be used by martial pract.i.tioners to absorb their body and increase their cultivation.
A single ordinary Cloud Crystal of the lowest level was worth five hundred taels of silver. Of course, five hundred taels of silver might not be enough to buy a single ordinary Cloud Crystal.Luo He looked at Xiang Yun and extended five of her fingers.
"Five million low-grade cloud crystals, there"s a price but no market!"
"Hiss!"
Even in this mortal world, Xiang Yun could already be considered a truly wealthy person. When he heard the value of five million Cloud Crystals, he was shocked for a moment!Five million low-level cloud crystals was equivalent to 2.5 billion silver taels, 2.5 billion! Even if it was 2.5 billion pieces of paper, it would still be enough to form a mountain!
With such a large sum of money, Xiang Yun was publicly acknowledged as the richest man in the northwest of the Empire of Feng Yun. With such a large sum of money, Xiang Yun was publicly acknowledged as the richest man in the northwest of the Empire of Feng Yun.
"Hiss, it really is quite expensive." Xiang Yun could not help but suck in a breath of cold air as he sighed in heartfelt admiration.Seeing that Xiang Yun had only said, "It"s really quite expensive", and although his expression was one of shock, it was far from being one of shock. Luo He"s eyes could not help but flash with a strange light.
"Of course it"s expensive. The Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion has a trace of the bloodline of the ancient mythical beast, the "Golden Lion". Although its bloodline is so light that it"s almost broken, it"s still considered a savage bloodline!"
"However, this Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion was really unlucky. It had just advanced into the king level and was killed already. If it was given another year or so, it would slowly awaken its bloodline. Perhaps it would be able to rank amongst the king level cloud beasts."
"Even so, its beast core is still a rare treasure. It should be said that its entire body is a treasure, especially the horn on its head!""This horn is also a treasure?"
Xiang Yun had a very deep impression of the horn on the head of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion. The purple flame that the latter had ignited had helped the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion block it. The power of the Terminator Thunder had been halved!
Luo He nodded and said with a calm expression, "The Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion"s entire body is filled with treasures. Its fur can be used to make cloud weapons and soft armor. It is several times harder than normal fine iron armors."
"Its claws can be used to make weapons. If the rank of a weapons craftsman is sufficient, it can at least craft weapons of the fourth rank or higher."
"Of course, the most valuable thing about the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion"s entire body, other than the beast crystal in its abdomen, is its horn. This is the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion"s most lethal weapon, and also its most lethal point!"
"It has gathered all of the essence of life from the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion. Without the beast crystal, it can still survive. However, if it loses its horn, it will undoubtedly die!" Luo He said with certainty.
"If you can obtain the horn of this Blue Eyed Red Flame Lion and grind it into powder, then merge it with the sword and other cloud weapons. Not only will the grade of this sword increase, just the toughness and toughness of this sword is comparable to that of an ordinary cloud weapon."As Xiang Yun listened to Luo He"s endless narration, he felt that it was both strange and interesting. His eyes lit up, and he was very moved.
Even though he was knowledgeable, he knew very little about the world of cultivation. As a pract.i.tioner who was half-way through cultivation, he naturally lacked knowledge about cloud beasts and cloud artifacts.
Now that he heard Luo He"s story, he did not expect that the body of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion would have so many uses. His heart immediately warmed.
If not for the numerous cloud beasts gathering outside the cave, he would have rushed out immediately and taken the body of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion on the mountain peak into his pocket. These were all priceless treasures.
As if he had seen through Xiang Yun"s thoughts, Luo He said calmly, "After these Cloud Beasts disperse, you can go out and store those two big fellows in your storage ring."
Having his thoughts seen through by Luo He, Xiang Yun scratched his head somewhat awkwardly before he nodded and smiled."Hehe, I just don"t know if the storage ring is enough to store it. I don"t want that big black fellow. As for the Blue Eyed Red Flame Lion"s treasure, let"s split it equally!"
Xiang Yun was not an insatiable person. Naturally, he would not think of taking everything for himself.As for the beast"s body, Xiang Yun had expected it to be of the general grade. Its value was naturally far inferior to the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion"s, so he decided to give it to Luo He.
After all, he had obtained the Cloud Crystal of two Cloud Beasts in his body, which was the most precious thing he had.
Hearing Luo He"s voice, Xiang Yun couldn"t help but raise his head and look at Luo He. The latter"s laughter was rather crisp, to the point that it actually made him feel that it was pleasing to the ears!"Holy sh * t!" Xiang Yun cursed in his heart as he used his hand to secretly pinch his thigh!
"Since when did laozi have such feelings for men? It can"t be that there"s a problem with my s.e.xual orientation, right?!" Xiang Yun felt a wave of fear towards his own inexplicable feeling.
Luo He merely let out a short laugh, but as if she had realized something, she immediately stopped laughing and turned to look at Xiang Yun.
"You said you don"t want the body of the Spirit Devouring Worm?""Spirit Devouring Worm?" Xiang Yun"s expression was a little strange. "That big fellow"s name is" Spirit Devouring Beetle "?"
Xiang Yun really did not think that there would be a connection between that enormous beast and the word "insect". Wasn"t this name too inappropriate?
"Brother Luo He, you"re not mistaken, right? No matter how you look at it, that huge beast doesn"t look like a bug.""Brother Wei, you might not know, but this big guy, from the origin, is really just a bug."
"Huh?" Surprised, Xiang Yun could only look at a loss.
"Legend has it that the ancestor of this Devouring Spirit Bug was a fierce beast from the ancient era called the "Mustard Seed Devouring Sky Bug". Its size is extremely small and its body is concealed between the heaven and earth. Once it appears, it can devour the sun, moon, and stars.""Mustard Seed Heaven Swallowing Worm!"
When Xiang Yun heard this name, he could sense just how powerful these vicious beasts were. To be able to use the name of "Heaven Swallowing" and devour the world and the sun and moon, just what kind of sacred art was that?
"Is there really such a cloud beast?"
