After resting for a while, Han Tian got to his feet and gave the dead giant scorpion a few kicks as he laughed. “I didn’t expect to kill an ancient remnant species. I wonder if anyone is going to believe me.”

Wutian was relieved, too. The strength of this ancient remnant species was equal to the Reborn Omega stage. While the three’s strengths were more or less the same, they were a level lower than that of the Fire Scorpion. Killing it was definitely not easy. But they did it.

Little Tian lay in his hands, weak and exhausted, pointing at the dead Fire Scorpion. Wutian knew what I wanted. He walked over and placed Little Tian on the body of the giant scorpion. Little Tian opened its mouth and started to gnaw its meat and drink its blood.

A Fire Scorpion’s flesh and blood were extremely nourishing.

Little Tian sucked blood like a whale fed on plankton. It did not take long before it finished off all the blood on the ground. Its body glowed in red, steaming with blood mist as it recovered its strength rapidly.

“Little Thing, don’t keep everything to yourself!” said Han Tian as he took out a vat of one meter tall and one meter in diameter.

He carried the vat and hurried over. Putting the vat beside the Fire Scorpion’s body, his palm shimmered in a golden light. The neck of the corpse cracked open and blood gushed out into the vat.

Wutian knew that the meat of this ancient species was an elixir, and its bones and shell were precious alchemic materials. It could not only enhance his strength but also be sold for a good price. Not to be outdone, he stashed away half of the body into the Mustard Pouch with the wave of his hand.

Han Tian was alarmed and sounding off. He then laid his eyes on a few sharp claws and collected them with the will of his mind.

Now it was Little Tian that got upset. They did not even put a jerk in killing the scorpion, yet when it came to harvesting the booty, they were eager beavers. Little Tian had no Mustard Pouch, but it had something up its sleeve. It wormed its way into the other half of the corpse and started gnawing.

Han Tian was upset and could not help cursing in rage. He grabbed Little Tian by its legs and tried to pull it out and away. Had he not been still letting blood, he would have stashed away the other half of the corpse.

“Caw, caw!”

Little Tian snarled. It was powerful and quick like a drill; it had devoured half of the half corpse in no time. Han Tian’s face darkened. He could not have been more upset. Little Tian chowed down the corpse just like that was wasteful.

The meat and blood of the vicious beast could only unleash their greatest benefits when refined together with the divine herbs, rare woods, divine extract, and so on. Little Tian was ruining the precious Essence of the Fire Scorpion.

Before Han Tian could finish letting the blood, Little Tian had devoured the remaining corpse. Still not satisfied, it laid its eyes on the fresh blood in the vat. The spilled blood did not possess a pungent smell. Instead, it gave out a soothing and refreshing scent.

Han Tian waved his hand, and the vat vanished inside the Mustard Pouch. Little Tian rolled its eyes and stared at the pouch in Wutian’s hand.

It suddenly lunged out, trying to snatch the pouch. But it tripped and tumbled to the ground. It was furious, wondering what caused it to fall. Its eyes lit up, and it drooled uncontrollably when it saw the thing.

It was three teeth, black, each the size of a fist. There was still meat on them, shimmering with black flames. There was a heart-throbbing feeling to it.

These were the teeth of the Fire Scorpion, extremely tough, making a good alchemic material.

“I nearly forgot about it. These things are good stuff.” Han Tian and Wutian got one each, and Wutian was taking Little Tian’s share in his custody. But it was hard to say to whom it would finally belong.

The three of them looked around for a while, but they found no more. Probably the rest of the teeth had fallen into the crack in the earth. Too bad.

Little Tian’s eyes brightened up. It faded into a bolt of black lightning, first out of the gate as it lunged out to the open ground.

“Son of a b*tch, I won’t let you have it!” Han Tian shouted as he suddenly realized that earlier when Wutian smashed the mouth of the Fire Scorpion, a few teeth had dropped on the open ground.

Wutian shook his head and followed suit. He could not help but be tempted by the precious remains of the ancient species.

There were four teeth. So a fight was avoided. It was Wutian who would do the distribution. Little Tian had contributed the most, so it got two teeth while Wutian and Han Tian got one each.

The white egg was still suspended in the air. The milky light emitted from it was brighter than the moon. Not only that, there was a fearsome holy aura permeating the air.

“That one is yours, Little Thing. We are not going to fight with you. But how are you going to get it when it is so high in the air?” Han Tian teased, then he suddenly sighed. “If I could hatch and tame it, I wonder how many girls I could attract when I bring it out to the town.”

That said, he shook his head, knowing that the idea was impractical. Naturally born divine beings were nurtured with the Essence Qi. It was a spirit of heaven and earth and hard to tame. Even if he could hatch it, he was not going to get recognition.

“Caw, caw!”

Little Tian tilted its head, put its finger on the nose, and thoughtfully looked at a stele on the far side of the open ground. The stele was as tall as a hundred feet, looking like a stone tower that extended into heaven. It was massive and exuded powerful energy.

It ran toward it in excitement, then put its claws on it. Probably it was trying to pull it out of the ground. Wutian and Han Tian watched on and found it extremely funny.

“Caw, caw!”
