Chapter 2059: Virtuous’s Arrival (1/2)
The academy finally triumphed over the relentless a.s.sault of the beasts nearby. None of them dared to take half a step closer now.
There were still plenty gazing at the academy but too many have died. Thus, the more powerful beasts became much more cautious.
The place had mountains of corpses. Some of the bigger beasts were large enough to reach the sky. Their blood acc.u.mulated into rivers - a grotesque scene of sanguine.
Its stench permeated the entire ancient world. Logically, this would attract even more beasts but its thickness served as a deterrence right now.
The academy began cleaning up with the students who hid earlier joining in. They gasped after seeing the aftermath of the battle. However, astonishment quickly turned into excitement, especially for the students from Hundred Halls.
There were too many corpses here and the teachers only took the most precious parts, such as the dao bones and inner cores. The rest was left for the students.
Thousands of students worked hard to clean up the place, wanting to take what’s left of the beasts. Keep in mind that some of these creatures have lived for ten thousand or even more than a million years for the older ones. Their entire body was full of coveted treasures.
“d.a.m.n, that giant dragon, let’s go peel the scales…” Some were ecstatic after seeing the corpse of a dragon as big as a mountain.
South Emperor only took the most precious parts and didn’t care for the rest. This beast wasn’t a True Dragon but its scales, claws, and tendons were still valuable.
“We gotta hurry in taking the tendons out or Emperor Mansion students will come too. The tendons on the back are the best…” They rushed forward.
“Get these claws off so we can grill it. Hey, hey, get the h.e.l.l away, the Hundred Hall found this dragon first, you Sacred Inst.i.tution people can go find something else.” A compet.i.tion ensued.
Of course, they were only spitting words at each other; no one would actually fight for these corpses since there were plenty of them. They rather went and find something else instead of wasting their time fighting.
“Is this a strange breed of the Five-colored G.o.dbird? Wow...” A student stood before the corpse of a bird and stared at the colorful feathers. This was his first time being so close to this type of creature.
“You got time for this?!” His friend slapped the back of his head and said: “Hurry up, we’ll take the feathers from its back. These are sacred feathers, we’ll be able to craft two fans from it that can unleash Five-element Flame. Go, go or someone else will take them.”
The first guy calmed down and instantly ran over: “Alright, I got it.”
In just a short time, the students were in high spirits taking care of the battlefield and collecting the spoils.
The teachers didn’t need to worry about lacking manpower at all. It only took two days before all the corpses got taken away outside of a few skeletal remains.
“h.e.l.l, even these bones are worth something, let’s boil them.” Some students broke apart the bones in order to create medicine from them.
“That’s true, these dragon bones made into ointment can sell for a lot outside.”
“The blood is material for medicine too, refine them down to the essence and they will be worth something.” Another carried around a cauldron and gathered all the blood he could find.
Eventually, not even the bones were left. The blood on the ground was gone as well. Some of these students took everything that could be sold regardless of the price.
