Inside the cabin, Qin Hao carefully reviewed the spoils of the day.
He gained the approval of the Divine Flame Lamp, became its master, and obtained a short sword, a Divine Flame Lamp weapon.
Wind Chime Beast Monster Core of the Beast King Tenth Tier, and Wind Chime Beast Monster Core of the Beast Marquis First Rank.
The Beast King Tenth Tier Golden Blade Tiger Monster Core, pelt, and scales; the Beast King Tenth Tier Green Poison Python Monster Core, scales, and other Monster Cores, pelts, and scales, etc.
"The biggest gain this time was the Divine Flame Lamp."
Qin Hao muttered to himself.
As he spoke, Qin Hao began to refine and absorb the two Monster Cores of the Wind Chime Beast.
Unlike other demon beasts, the Monster Core of the Wind Chime Beast is not easily refined and absorbed.
To absorb the Wind Chime Beast's Monster Core and maximize its benefits, three conditions must be met.
First, it must be absorbed by a wind-attribute ability awakener.
Secondly, one must simultaneously comprehend and absorb the knowledge; this will facilitate acquiring the Wind Chime Beast's two skills Wind Slash Wind Wings.
Third, it must be absorbed in an extremely quiet environment, because it cannot be interrupted by others; otherwise, it can only be refined and absorbed as an ordinary demon Monster Core.
Qin Hao's cabin was built beneath the nest of a Golden Eagle King. Once Qin Hao entered the cabin, hidden in the shadows, he felt perfectly safe.
The Golden Eagle King could never have imagined that someone would dare to build a small wooden house beneath his nest.
It took Qin Hao two days to refine the two Wind Chime Beast Monster Cores.
Unfortunately, apart from a significant increase in cultivation level, breaking through from the Martial Master Fifth Rank to the Martial Master Seventh Rank, he did not acquire either the Wind Slash Wind Wings skills.
"Sigh, it seems too difficult to obtain the Wind Slash Wind Wings skills from the Wind Chime Beast's Monster Core."
After refining the Monster Core, Qin Hao turned his gaze to the short sword.
He took out the Divine Flame Lamp and asked, "Little Flame, did I kill the Weapon Spirit inside this short sword?"
"Master, rest assured, the Weapon Spirit within this short sword is just as powerful as I am, possessing the strength of Beast Emperor. Therefore, it won't die. At most, the short sword is damaged, causing the Weapon Spirit to temporarily fall into a slumber!"
"Oh, I see! But Little Flame, I remember you said that if you encountered a Beast King Tenth Tier, you could kill it. But this short sword only protected its master and didn't attack me. Why is that?"
Upon hearing this question, the Divine Flame Lamp explained the relationship between a divine weapon and its master to Qin Hao.
Generally speaking, people like Qin Hao are chosen by their divine weapons to be their masters. Such divine weapons are not bound by anything and can unleash the full power of their Weapon Spirits.
If a powerful Martial Artist discovers the Weapon Spirit and forces it to recognize itself as their master, not only will the cost be enormous, but the Weapon Spirit itself will also be bound, and its strength will naturally be limited to only 50%.
If a divine weapon is not recognized as having a master, but is still used by Martial Artist, it means that the Weapon Spirit has been bound by a powerful Martial Artist's secret technique, so it can only unleash 30% of its power.
This explains why, when the captain of the Island Nation's team used the Divine Flame Lamp, he only activated it twice before nearly exhausting all his Spiritual Power.
Although the short sword had already recognized a master, it was done under duress, which resulted in the Weapon Spirit within the short sword only being able to unleash half of its power.
To be honest, Qin Hao survived only because he lost an SS-grade Overlord Spear.
Otherwise, even though the short sword could only unleash half its power, that transparent sword energy would still have been enough to kill Qin Hao.
The Divine Flame Lamp, however, has not yet fully recognized its master, so it will not protect its master.
After the captain was killed by Qin Hao, the Divine Flame Lamp was naturally freed.
Looking at Qin Hao again, he felt a connection with him, so he decided to make Qin Hao his master.
Because a divine weapon must have a master in order to grow; otherwise, it will not only fail to grow but will also slowly perish over time, turning into scrap metal, and its Weapon Spirit will be scattered.
Knowing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but feel somewhat lucky.
"Little Flame, Scarface is dead, and Short Sword should be free now, right?"
"Yes, Master, but if you want the Weapon Spirit within the short sword to awaken, the short sword must be repaired first."
"Damn that scarred man, he ruined my dagger!"
With a grumble, Qin Hao put away the Divine Flame Lamp, then hid in the shadows and headed outside.
The exit of the cabin was right below the Golden Eagle King's nest. Qin Hao carefully entered the nest and looked at the two eggs.
This is the egg of the Golden Eagle King! If one hatches, I'll be able to have a flying pet mount!
The day Qin Hao first arrived here, he was already eyeing the Golden Eagle King's egg.
They had been hunting Wind Chime Beasts, intending to come here to refine their Wind Chime Beast Monster Cores, which was why they hadn't made any rash moves.
But today, Qin Hao is going to make his move, because he's leaving this area to continue searching for Jialing City.
Among demonic beasts, the higher the bloodline level, the more difficult it is for the beast to leave offspring.
The Golden Eagle King's bloodline is extremely noble; it was born at the Beast General Tenth Tier.
After growing up to adulthood, it becomes a beast Beast King Tenth Tier.
Afterwards, the Golden Eagle King will continue to cultivate and improve its strength.
Therefore, the most desirable pet mount for Martial Artists is the Golden Eagle King, which, once tamed, becomes an extremely powerful assistant.
However, the eggs must be unhatched; the taming process must begin from the egg to achieve a 100% success rate.
After collecting the two bird eggs, Qin Hao left the area.
Just as Qin Hao was about to escape the area, he heard a furious roar coming from the direction of the Golden Eagle King's nest.
"Squeak!"
That's not all. Qin Hao personally witnessed even the taller tree, along with the Golden Eagle King's nest, collapse to the ground.
"Damn, thank goodness I got the bird eggs after I left, otherwise I would have been doomed!"
Seeing the smoke and dust rising from the nest and the frantic cries of the Golden Eagle King, Qin Hao hid in the shadows and sped away from the area.
Three days later, Qin Hao finally arrived outside a city, but unfortunately, this was not Jialing City at all.
The national flag on the city wall was actually the flag of Island Nation.
Moreover, things are not peaceful here. At this moment, three Beast King Tenth Tier are leading a large number of other beasts to attack the city.
Moreover, one of the three Beast Kings happens to be the Golden Eagle King.
"Unexpectedly, the Golden Eagle King has come to attack the Island Nation's garrison city."
Qin Hao watched all of this from the shadows.
"Damn it, which direction is Jialing City in?"
While Qin Hao was still complaining in the shadows, he suddenly sensed a strong energy fluctuation in one of the shadows.
Qin Hao was so frightened that he stood frozen in place, too scared to move.
The energy fluctuations drew closer and closer to Qin Hao, soon reaching his side. Then, the energy fluctuations stopped.
Qin Hao knew that the Martial Artist with Dark-Type Superpower had stopped moving.
This meant that the person was not far away from him. Sure enough, the energy fluctuations in the shadows suddenly intensified and rushed towards Qin Hao's location.
