Chapter Seven Hundred and Seventy Seven – Mountain of Meat (1/2)
Chapter Seven Hundred and Seventy Seven – Mountain of Meat
They had really profited this time!
Looking at the two mountains of meat in front of him, Zuo Mo felt as though he was in dream. This gift from Kun Lun really was too valuable. Ancient beasts like this were rare and irreplaceable!
If the Kun Lun disciples hadn’t used the Soul Luring Fragrance, Zuo Mo guessed that even all of them working together would not have been able to defeat this terrifying large thing. It would be a problem if they would be even able to escape alive.
He had really not expected this profit. Kun Lun were really good people!
Everyone moved around the two mountains of meat in curiosity. It was rare to see such a large ancient beast. They basically only existed in legends.
Because they were worried about encountering other strong beasts on the Black Sea Flight Line, the fleet did not dare to move around randomly on the route, but quickly flew towards their destination according to the steward’s instructions.
Only Zuo Mo could butcher the monster. He was the only one here skilled in forging. Only he knew what was useful or not.
If the conditions allowed for it, Zuo Mo wanted to put the two mountains of meat into his ring and then take it back to Mo Cloud Sea. That would allow it to express its greatest value.
However, even though Zuo Mo’s ring was top tier, it could not hold two such enormous mountains of meat.
Zuo Mo worked hard for three days.
The one responsible for guiding his hand was Wei. While it had been many many years since he had last dismembered an ancient beast, he was the only one that was familiar.
This octopus was treasure, profit, great profit … …
Zuo Mo hummed a tune, his movements happy and rapid. The octopus was made up of treasure. Zuo Mo carefully gathered its slime. This was a rare treasure that could absorb enemy shen attacks.
What was greatest about it was that it could absorb shen power attacks upto a certain degree. Zuo Mo tested it, and it was so. Only when the shen power reached a certain level of purity and the shen technique reached a certain level of skill would the effect be overcome.
In reality, it was the first time Zuo Mo had heard of a material with this property. Just this one trait determined its value. In the entire process, Zuo Mo was on high alert and fearful that he would miss a drop.
He decided when he would forged his new shen raiment, he would brush on this astounding shen liquid, one coat after another, one hundred times!
Kun Lun shen power? Tian Huan shen power? What of it? They wouldn’t even create sparks when they hit his armor. The more he thought, the happier Zuo Mo felt.
Kun Lun was a good child, a good good child … …
Zuo Mo started to hum again.
Other than this, the octopus’ eyes were dried and turned into two black beads [1]. However, these two beads were a bit large, about the same height as Zuo Mo. He didn’t know the use of the black beads but he had tested it with shen power. Zuo Mo found that when shen power entered, it seemed to disappear.
It could absorb shen power!
This was the only attribute that Zuo Mo had discovered up until now. The time did not allow for him to slowly examine it. He could only throw it into his ring. He had a feeling that this definitely was something good.
The skin of the octopus was hard. Normal flying swords could only leave behind a faint mark. In the end, it had been Wei Sheng with his God-Killing Blood Sword that was able to cut it.
Undoubtedly, the grade of this octopus skin was astounding. Zuo Mo guessed that it should be top level. For the great majority of shen device raiments, high level hide was essential. A Gui’s [Undying Ghost] was a rarity in its composition.
Most importantly, the surface area of this hide was almost unimaginable.
Even if it was not able to be all used in shen device raiments, if it was used to forge shen equipment, they would be higher in grade than normal. Thinking about if he gave every one of the core members a pseudo-shen device, and they were all outfitted, the offensive ability of Mo Cloud Sea would skyrocket!
The teeth and bones of the octopus were all of extraordinary quality and could be used to forge shen equipment.
What made Zuo Mo feel was unique was the dense suckers on the tentacles. The largest of these suckers were the size of a person, the smallest just the size of a thumb. There were twelve hundred thousand of them.
Zuo Mo was very interested in the suckers. They had an unique effect. Once they came into contact with something, they would instinctively absorb the power and life-force of the target.
It was very devious and terrifying.
The bigger the sucker, the stronger its absorption ability. Zuo Mo knew that the suckers only had a lingering effect because the octopus was dead. If the octopus was alive, this ability would be much stronger. He thought about the many suckers. Everywhere they passed, all life was stolen, all of the blood, flesh, and energy was suched into the octopus.
This octopus had lived for tens of thousands of years. He didn’t know how many lives it had consumed.
So terrifying!
Zuo Mo rejoiced. If there wasn’t Kun Lun’s Soul Luring Fragrance, the possibility that the fleet would have survived would have been low.
There was a kind of pattern that Zuo Mo had never seen before on the suckers. Zuo Mo suspected that it was this pattern that allowed the suckers to have such an unique ability.
Zuo Mo decided to spend some time to study it. He put all the suckers away in the ring. They piled together into a little mountain. Zuo Mo knew that this was something good but he didn’t have a complete idea on how to use it.
Everything that was useful was harvested and put away.
But there was still a mountain of meat left in front of them. This was truly a mountain of meat, all of it was left behind after cutting up the octopus. The blood of the octopus seemed to have been completely sucked dry by Wei Sheng’s God-Killing Blood Sword. There wasn’t even a drop of blood left, all of it was clean meat. Piled up there, it did not reek of blood.
What to do with the meat? Zuo Mo felt stuck. There was just too much!
