These two little ones—one was the Dragon God Reincarnation, the other the Imperial Auspicious Beast. Both were the treasured darlings of the Soul Beast clan.
Let alone harming a single hair on their heads, if he so much as made them unhappy, they would go back and complain, and Di Tian would come over that very night to beat him up.
Poor Xiong Jun had already been beaten several times over the past few years.
How would he dare offend them now?
Yet these two little ancestors loved coming here to mooch off him.
Xiong Jun was pitiful too. He did not have much surplus to spare.
While Xiong Jun was still grumbling to himself, the human and beast arrived with remarkable speed.
In the blink of an eye, they were standing before Xiong Jun.
Xiong Jun was enormous, with a fierce and violent aura. Even a human Super Douluo would tremble inwardly upon seeing him.
But this human and beast were not afraid in the slightest.
On the contrary, the towering Xiong Jun felt a headache coming on as he looked at the two tiny figures on the ground.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
Xiong Jun bowed first, then said, "Young Master, Auspicious Beast, what brings you to my place?"
"Let me make this clear first: I truly do not have anything good left here."
"If Young Master truly wants something, I still have a few Dark Gold Claw Bear Soul Bones. I will reluctantly give them to Young Master."
Over the years, quite a few Dark Gold Claw Bears had died from accidents or calamities. Those that died within Xiong Jun's territory had all left behind Soul Bones.
As a remembrance of them, Xiong Jun had kept those Soul Bones carefully stored away.
"Oh, you're being so generous?"
"Then hurry up and bring them out, Uncle Xiong Jun."
Hearing Xiong Jun's words, Su Yu's eyes lit up. There was such a good thing?
He might not have cared much if they were other Soul Bones.
But Dark Gold Claw Bear Soul Bones were rare treasures beyond compare.
Very few Dark Gold Claw Bear Soul Bones had ever made their way into the outside world.
It would be a lie to say he was not interested.
Wait, you actually want them?
These were Soul Bones left behind by my clansmen!
Xiong Jun opened his mouth, clearly not expecting Su Yu to agree without hesitation.
This was bad. He should not have said that. This Young Master truly did not stand on ceremony.
But the words had already left his mouth, and he could not take them back.
Did he dare deceive the Young Master? Was he courting death?
He did not want Di Tian coming to have a heart-to-heart with him.
With no other choice, he had to jump into the pit he had dug himself.
Xiong Jun walked to a tree hollow, reached in with his claws, and rummaged around before pulling out three Soul Bones.
All three Soul Bones were remarkably complete. Judging by their age, each was at least ten thousand years old.
One of them gave off an extremely powerful energy fluctuation, dense and imposing as a mountain.
Even if it was not a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, it was at least fifty thousand years old.
Clearly, Xiong Jun knew he could not fob Su Yu off, so he had not brought out only Soul Bones below fifty thousand years.
Xiong Jun tossed the three Soul Bones to Su Yu, who caught them one by one.
After examining them carefully, he found that they were a left arm bone, a right arm bone, and a Torso Bone.
By his estimation, the left arm bone was around thirty thousand years old.
The Torso Bone was around forty thousand years old.
The best was the right arm bone, which was likely between sixty thousand and eighty thousand years old.
These three Soul Bones were all priceless. The right arm bone in particular was no less valuable than a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
Su Yu turned them over several times. "Uncle Xiong Jun, don't you have any that are a hundred thousand years old?"
Xiong Jun shook his head.
There had truly been no Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast deaths among the Dark Gold Claw Bear clan.
But it made sense when one thought about it. The Dark Gold Claw Bear clan possessed overwhelming combat power.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Claw Bear would mean death for anyone without the strength of a Super Douluo.
Trying to hunt one was unimaginably difficult.
Those around ten thousand years old, on the other hand, were more likely to encounter accidents.
"I see. Then do you have any palm bones? Something like claws?"
Su Yu asked again.
The highest-grade Soul Bone a Dark Gold Claw Bear could produce was not a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, but an External Soul Bone—the Dark Gold Claw!
That was the most formidable aspect of the Dark Gold Claw Bear clan.
"I do have one, but its age is rather low. It has only just reached ten thousand years."
Xiong Jun scratched his head as he spoke.
"I'll take that ten-thousand-year one. Uncle Xiong Jun, is it a left claw or a right claw?"
Su Yu's eyes shone brightly.
"I think it's a right claw. Young Master, please wait a moment."
Xiong Jun crouched down again and reached back to dig around.
Soon, he pulled out a dark golden right palm bone.
Five sharp claws extended from the palm bone, as though they could tear even space apart.
Xiong Jun tossed it over. Su Yu caught it in one swift motion, excitement on his face.
This Dark Gold Claw was one of the finest Soul Bones.
And it happened to be the most powerful kind—a right palm bone. This coincidence could not have been more fortuitous.
Su Yu examined the Dark Gold Claw Bear Right Palm Bone in his hand and sighed inwardly.
The Star Dou Great Forest truly was rich. You never knew just how many precious treasures these ferocious beasts had collected.
Su Yu knew that they definitely possessed vast quantities of precious Soul Bones.
Even Xiong Jun had such things, let alone Di Tian. Di Tian's collection would only be more abundant.
But he was too embarrassed to ask for such things, and he would not bring it up either.
This time, Xiong Jun had offered to give him Soul Bones himself. Otherwise, Su Yu would not have asked for them.
Though Xiong Jun might have only said it casually, Su Yu had taken it seriously .
"Thank you, Uncle Xiong Jun. I'll remember this. This Young Master will repay you in the future."
Su Yu grinned.
He did not make empty promises. If he said he would repay someone, he would. One day, Xiong Jun would understand just how worthwhile these few Soul Bones had been.
"Then I thank Young Master." Xiong Jun symbolically waved a claw, not taking it seriously.
After all, Su Yu was still very weak. It was far too early for that.
"By the way, Uncle Xiong Jun, do you have any honey here?"
Su Yu abruptly changed the subject.
"No honey. No honey at all!"
Xiong Jun hurriedly shook his head like a rattle drum.
Dark Gold Claw Bears were carnivorous creatures, but they also loved honey.
For Xiong Jun, he would rather give Su Yu several more Soul Bones than give him any honey.
He could not help it. Honey was one of the few things he enjoyed.
"Uncle Xiong Jun, lying is not something good children do."
Su Yu raised a brow and said with a smile, "Uncle Xiong Jun, you wouldn't want people to know you're this stingy, would you? Hiding away even a little honey."
"Exactly, exactly!" the Auspicious Beast chimed in.
Xiong Jun scratched his head. "I truly don't have any honey."
Su Yu's smile deepened. "Uncle Xiong Jun, you wouldn't want Uncle Di Tian to come have a heart-to-heart with you, would you?"
"Exactly, exactly!" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion echoed.
This left Xiong Jun numb.
A threat. This was a naked threat.
Would Xiong Jun be afraid of Di Tian?
What a joke. Who was Xiong Jun?
Would he be afraid of Di Tian?
"Young Master, I actually do have a little honey left, but there isn't much. You have to leave some for me."
Xiong Jun said pitifully.
