Chapter 964: Examining the Bone (2/2)
Bit by bit, the volcanoes, rivers of flames, and seas of flames that had vanished earlier appeared in her domain again.
“Can I have those dead Lizardmen?” Nie Tian suddenly asked.
Huang Jinnan went blank. “What do want to do with them?”
“They’ll be very useful to me,” Nie Tian answered without hiding the truth. “As you know, I’m a hybrid. The residual flesh power in them will help my bloodline grow.”
“Okay, no problem.” Huang Jinnan agreed without even asking for Lou Hongyan’s opinion. “If it weren’t for you, our exploration of this domain might have become a complete failure. We might not even have had a chance to return to our sect alive. By seizing that bone, you weakened that Lizardman patriarch to a great extent. You turned the situation around.
“You made the most significant contribution to our victory. It’s only right that you receive the most rewards.”
With these words, Huang Jinnan shot an envious gaze at Yang Fan’s lightning domain. “But the way I see it, your gain from this trip is already significant enough. That mysterious bone alone is probably more valuable than the three Lizardman realms combined. I suppose by taking it back to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace to having it examined by specialists, you’ll gain a considerable amount of contribution points.”
Brow furrowed, Nie Tian asked, “Do you mean turn it in?”
With a broad laugh, Huang Jinnan said, “Of course not. Just have your specialized experts examine it, so that they’ll be able to keep records of it for future educational purposes. They’re not thieves. How can they take away something that you obtained by risking your life?”
Nie Tian felt relieved. “I’ll be fine with it if they’re just going to examine it.”
After some time, Huang Jinnan and Lou Hongyan’s subordinates returned successively.
Some of them brought huge Lizardman bodies with them, while others came back empty-handed.
A few hours later, all of those who had gone on pursuits reconvened in this place.
Zhao Heng and the other Saint domain experts shook their heads in frustration, and said that all of the ninth grade Lizardmen had escaped, including the Lizardman patriarch.
What baffled them was that the Lizardmen seemed to have some special escape magic that had allowed them to vanish as soon as they had left their sight and detection range.
They had picked up speed and searched carefully, but failed to find any trace of them.
Together, they had only chased down and killed five eighth grade Lizardmen.
Zhao Heng pondered in silence for quite a while before saying with a grim expression, “There must be other special spatial joints in this area of the starry river that we don’t know about. But those Lizardmen must know them well enough to escape through them. Spatial joints are very mysterious. Only those who are well-versed in spatial power can sense the existence of hidden spatial joints.
“Sadly, we don’t have such an expert on our team. If we had disciples of the Void Spirit Society with us, we might have been able to ferret out the lost Lizardmen and kill them all.”
At that moment, Lou Hongyan’s voice echoed out from within her flame domain. “There’s no need to fixate on them. We’re here to gather cultivation resources from the three realms. These realms aren’t wreathed in rich spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. They’re not fit for us to live and cultivate in. We’ll leave as soon as we have what we came for.”
Zhao Heng smiled somewhat embarrassedly. “That’s right. I almost forgot that we were here for cultivation resources, not to set up quarters.”
“Uncle Yang!” Lou Hongyan called out.
Yang Fan’s lightning domain instantly settled down.
He emerged from all the lightning and returned the mysterious bone to Nie Tian, looking slightly reluctant.
“I’ve done a thorough examination of this bone. It doesn’t belong to any race we know of,” he said. “But it seems to be vested with that unidentified being’s lifetime flesh power accumulation. It’s even branded with its Bloodline Crystal Chains.
“I don’t have what it takes to carve spell formations into it.
“However, if you take it back to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace and put it in the hands of an Immortal grade equipment forger, they may be able to carve different spell formations in it. Then, you’ll be able to infuse it with the powers you practice!
“And I’ve checked. It’s compatible with flame power, wood power, and star power.
“It’s especially sensitive to star power. So my guess is that it can automatically gather power from the starry river to replenish its consumption or strengthen itself.
“Such a unique trait suits your needs perfectly. Perhaps you can even forge an Immortal grade weapon!”
Yang Fan’s voice was powerful and resonating.
“An Immortal grade artifact weapon!” A clamor burst out among everyone.
