Chapter 1155: Waiting
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
If one were to use a spirit artifact and was sensed by other spirit beasts, they would besiege them at any cost until they had killed them.
Because spirit beasts had opened their spiritual wisdom.
When one used a spirit artifact, those spirit beasts would know that they were using something made from the lives of their kind.
Therefore, although martial artists had spirit artifacts, they wouldn’t easily use them!
It would attract trouble.
Jayven Neal whispered, “This green python skin is worth at most a thousand small spirit stones, but this beast core is worth at least ten thousand small spirit stones.”
“Is it worth that much?” Braydon Neal was slightly surprised.
He knew that the most precious thing about snake-type spirit beasts was their python skin.
Who would have thought that a beast core would be worth ten times the python skin?
Jayven said helplessly, “Everyone thinks that spirit stones are the currency of the South Pole, but they don’t realize that beast cores are even more precious. Regardless of where you are, there are people who recognize their value.”
This kind of thing might be the most valuable thing on a spirit beast’s body.
When animals were spiritually intelligent, they were regarded as spirit beasts.
When plants were spiritually intelligent, they were regarded as demons!
Both of these were extremely powerful creatures in ruins.
Although external martial artists had been exploring the ruins for hundreds of years, they were still not the true masters of the major ruins.
Because in the depths of the ruins, there were some existences that even people like Finley Yanagi couldn’t afford to provoke.
Jayven then said, “Braydon, let’s hurry up. The b.l.o.o.d.y smell of the green python will attract a large number of spirit beasts.”
“Why leave?” Braydon’s lips curled slightly.
Jayven was instantly shocked.
He looked at his elder brother, Braydon, with a horrified expression and said, “What do you want to do?”
What did Braydon want to do?
Of course, he was waiting for the spirit beasts to come to him.
Braydon stood with his hands behind his back under a tree, without concealing his own aura.
Immediately, roars echoed, not far from here.
Some spirit beasts were attracted by the b.l.o.o.d.y smell and were coming over.
Braydon stood under the tree, already sensing the aura of eight spirit beasts approaching from different directions.
They were the nearest spirit beasts to this place.
A black spirit beast with thorns all over its body, resembling a pig in appearance, with sharp teeth in its mouth and a fierce aura all over its body, was moving extremely fast. The trees blocking its path were knocked down by it.
It arrived in the area, saw the corpse of the green python, looked around vigilantly, and then rushed up to devour it.
To it, this was like a full meal.
Before it could take a few bites.
A sharp bird cry came from the sky.
Silver-winged golden-eyed eagle!
With wings spread out to about thirty meters long, it circled low in the sky, emitting a sharp cry.
Jayven immediately wet himself and said, “It’s a fourth-level spirit beast, the silver-winged golden-eyed eagle. It’s not far from a fifth-level spirit beast.”
“Don’t worry, there are still spirit beasts that haven’t arrived yet!”
Braydon remained as calm as ever.
Jayven muttered, “Braydon, with so many spirit beasts gathering, can you handle it?”
“If there’s a chance, I’d like to have a match with a sixth-level spirit beast.”
Braydon expressed his wish.
This frightened Jayven, and he said, “Braydon, you must be kidding me!”
Just as the two were chatting.
Another spirit beast arrived.
It had four hooves treading on flames, a body like a fiery horse, a head like a tiger, and some bulges above its forehead, as if it were about to grow two horns.
Its arrival caused the black-feathered pig to be wary, slowly retreating, and emitting a low growl from its mouth.
Jayven’s face turned green. He was about to cry as he said, “Dragon scale spirit beast, fifth-level!”
“Interesting!”
Braydon chuckled with his hands behind his back and said softly, “I didn’t expect that this spirit beast carca.s.s would attract so many strong spirit beasts.”
“They were attracted by the b.l.o.o.d.y smell!”
After Jayven finished speaking, he added, “Adult dragon scale spirit beasts start at the seventh level. This guy hasn’t reached adulthood yet. Braydon, let’s run!”
“If we kill it, how many spirit stones can we get?” Braydon asked gently, scaring Jayven senseless.
When he told Braydon that the dragon scale spirit beast was not yet an adult, it meant that its parents might be nearby.
Once a dragon scale spirit beast was killed, it would bring great disaster.
After all, the parents of this thing were definitely seventh or even eighth level beings.
Those fierce beasts were definitely the real threats in this area.
They could even challenge a supreme pinnacle!
The physique of spirit beasts was naturally powerful. Examples of eighth-level spirit beasts fighting and killing supreme pinnacles could be heard almost year-round in the ruins.
Within the same level, spirit beasts were stronger.
Although Jayven was intimidated.
He still mentioned the value of a fifth-level spirit beast.
The materials on a first-level spirit beast started at a thousand small spirit stones.
The materials on a second-level spirit beast started at three thousand small spirit stones, and the more precious ones could sell for up to ten thousand.
The difference in value between the two was a fewfold.
The materials on a third-level spirit beast started at ten thousand small spirit stones, and beast cores could sell for at least a hundred thousand.
But they were priceless.
If auctioned, they could sell for even higher prices.
As for fourth-level spirit beasts, the value of everything was five to ten times higher compared to third-level spirit beasts.
Because fourth-level spirit beasts were extremely powerful and almost always had beast cores.
Their strength was extremely formidable!
The difficulty of hunting them was extremely high.
Anything valuable on them started at one or two hundred thousand small spirit stones, and beast cores would start at a million small spirit stones.
The value of a fifth-level spirit beast was doubled of that!
From another perspective, a martial artist on the South Pole Island could not live without small spirit stones.
To obtain a handy weapon, one must spend a large amount of small spirit stones to purchase it.
Braydon chuckled and said, “The value of this dragon scale spirit beast is over three million small spirit stones?”
“That’s the value of an ordinary fifth-level spirit beast. For a dead dragon scale spirit beast, its four hooves have already been priced by someone at one million small spirit stones each. Four of them is four million, and the two horns on its head are each priced at two million, making it four million for both!”
Jayven whispered how valuable the dragon scale spirit beast was.
But this dragon scale spirit beast was not yet an adult and didn’t have horns.
Just these two things alone were worth eight million small spirit stones.
More importantly, there was still the beast core to consider!
After thinking for a moment, Jayven said, “Living dragon scale spirit beasts are even more valuable. This guy, when fully grown, is at least a seventh-level spirit beast. Its bloodline is strong, and its appearance is majestic. It is called the “four appearances” by people. It has the hooves of a Qilin, the horns of a dragon, the head of a tiger, and the body of a horse, making it an excellent choice for mounts.”
Many supreme pinnacles couldn’t get such a mount.
There was no other reason than spirit beasts being too unruly and difficult to tame!
They would rather die than submit to human martial artists.
Moreover, creatures like the dragon scale spirit beast were highly intelligent.
They were considered aristocrats among spirit beasts.
The appearance of this creature caused the silver-winged golden-eyed eagle in the sky to hover in the sky.
It also made the black-feathered pig retreat, showing fear.
The other six spirit beasts that were originally approaching this way all stopped in their tracks.
This dragon scale spirit beast, with flames beneath its four hooves, swayed over to the green python’s corpse. It sniffed it, then suddenly turned its head and looked toward a large tree, grinning with a hint of coldness.
“d.a.m.n it!”
Jayven shuddered, exclaiming, “Braydon, it knows we’re here!”
