Chapter 118 - One Green Crystal for Ten Years Lifespan (1/2)

Now that Parker had returned, Bai Qingqing brought up the topic of Vincent. “Err, Vincent made me eat a green crystal today.”

“What?” Parker sat upright in shock.

Vincent actually caught a herbivorous giant beast? He’s so powerful.

Although herbivorous giant beasts only ate plants, their combative powers were much stronger than carnivorous giant beasts. They were several times larger than carnivorous beasts, and their skin was also tougher and more resilient. Only four-striped beastmen were able to fight them, and even then their chances of defeating such beasts were remote, so it also depended on their luck.

Cortis said, “In the future when I obtain a green crystal, I’ll return him one.”

“Mm.” Bai Qingqing nodded. “I didn’t want it either, it’s much too precious. But what effects does a green crystal have, exactly? I merely felt very comfortable all over after eating it.”

Parker fought to answer. “Ordinary green crystals can increase a beastman’s lifespan by ten years. Look at how young my mother looks. That’s because my father would gift one to her every ten years.”

“Wah!” Bai Qingqing gasped. “So if one keeps eating it, wouldn’t she live forever?”

“No idea,” Parker said. “No one can keep succeeding. The longest-lived four-striped beastman in the City of Beastmen only lived to a hundred over years. My father has already lived for seventy-over years. Perhaps anytime now…”

“Ah, so one has to risk his life to obtain it.” Bai Qingqing was curious about giant beasts. How did the energy crystals in their bodies come about? Is it because they’re too large, that’s why the energy in their bodies are condensed into a crystal?

“Cortis.” Bai Qingqing crawled to the pile of grass next to Cortis and asked, “You’re so formidable. Have you ever killed a herbivorous giant beast? Have you ever eaten a green crystal? Oh right, how old are you? I’ve never asked you that.”

Gazing at the female who came up to him, Cortis wanted very much to hold her close to him. But next to him was bare ground. That wouldn’t do. He had to get himself a comfortable nest like that leopard.

“I’ve killed a few, to keep myself in top form,” Cortis said calmly. Seeing the look of admiration on her face, he suddenly felt pleased with himself.

“I’m probably forty plus? Haven’t been keeping track.”
