Chapter 17 (1/2)
- Precious Technique
The entire body of a creature like the Suan Ni, whose monstrosity and fearsomeness would shake even the heavens, could be considered a treasure trove of wealth and precious resources even after its death. In the face of such a goldmine, who would not be tempted to snatch the precious resources for themselves?
“Hmm, such a treasure really makes one’s eyes glow with greed. I really want to charge in and snatch away both its true blood and primordial precious symbols in one fell swoop.” A group of adolescent youths were eager to get in on the action.
“Even if that Suan Ni is gradually growing older, it’s still not something we are capable of handling. Do not act rashly and wait patiently.” The chief’s face revealed a concentrated expression and he solemnly warned.
“Haha, the spoils this time are truly great! The little guy really outdid himself this time around. It was thanks to him that we managed to avoid a bloodbath.” A group of people praised.
“Ah…” The little guy put on an embarrassed face and scratched his head in confusion. A loud noise emanated from the distance, drawing the attentions of Purple Cloud, Big Peng, and Little Green. They quickly ran over.
Boom!
Atop the clouds, a giant bird with scales that flickered with cold light swooped down. The great Green Scaled Eagle had appeared! With a great hong sound, it dropped a giant fire rhinoceros from its talons onto the village outskirts. Every so often, it would return to the village and drop large prey.
It has already been two months since the hatchlings were born. They bodies grew rapidly, and now, they were already two and a half meters tall. Their bodies grew stronger and more sleek, and when they fully extended their wings, they were almost capable of flight.
“Little Purple and the others, hurry up and grow up! When you guys grow up, take me with you so we can see what it looks like deep inside of the mountains!” The little guy stroked their necks, and their eyes flashed a glimmer of hope for what they could become one day. Afterwards, he began to examine the ancestral precious symbols of the three birds in front of him again in hopes of understanding their species’ unique and mysterious power.
Weng!
A light trembling sound rang through the air. A silver moon appeared at the center of his palm. It was gentle and holy, and clear splendor was scattered down from it. Then, a silver moon appeared behind his head, giving the little guy a rather mystical appearance.
During the last confrontation with Bei Feng, he only formed a part of the precious symbol into his palm and did not use the complete silver moon. Otherwise, its power would have been even more formidable.
The silver moon rotated and revolved around him. Pure white light scattered around him, making the little guy appear unspeakably holy.
“Yiya, I figured out a bit more now. On the moon, there’s a huge bird living within a palace. Could it be that that’s Purple Cloud, Big Peng and Little Green’s ancestor — that archaic demonic bird?” Shi Hao muttered to himself.
On that silver moon rested a tree, as well as a palace with mysterious and complex patterns. Currently, the little guy had already made some progress while studying the secret bone texts and was able to understand a bit more about the patterns.
He released the silver moon, and the complete precious moon disk was brandished in bright and shining light. The cry of a bird sounded from within the palace, and that tree began to shake and scatter out its clear splendor.
The silver moon did not look like it was constructed from symbols and appeared too real. It was as if the moon in the sky fell down; it was truly lifelike.
Qiang
A metallic sound rang out, sounding as if an ancient sealed precious artifact that had been collecting dust reemerged into the world. Keng qiang sounds sounded. Pure and holy light scattered down.
The silver moon circled around a five or six meter wide boulder. With a kacha sound, the boulder was split open, forming a clean and glossy cut. It didn’t disappear and continued to slice through two more boulders before fading away.
“Ya, last time it only managed to split a single boulder. Now it can cut three, how powerful!” The little guy opened his mouth in amazement.
This silver moon seemed to be quite a bit more concentrated than in the past. The symbols inside flickered about, and that palace and ancient tree could be seen again. They were vivid and lifelike. The power of this attack had increased by a large amount.
“The little guy is so strong! He can actually release a moon disk like this! I feel like he’s strong enough to fight the vicious beasts in the great wastelands already.” When a group of children came over and saw this, they all became envious.
“Wu, one can imagine just how powerful the archaic demonic bird was. If it passes down its complete imprint, this will definitely be a type of divine skill. However, it is uncommon to see one reach even this level,” the Village Chief said.
This type of powerful attack can be considered a precious technique, a technique that will usually be kept as a precious secret!
“After such a long time, my clan can finally be considered to have a precious technique!” Some of the elders were beginning to feel a bit emotional.
These types of precious technique would normally only be in the hands of powerful clans. If not for the fact that the little guy raised these Green Scaled Eagles and carefully researched them from a close distance, it would have been impossible for him to obtain it.
