Meeting Xiong Jun Again and Obtaining a Soul Bone
Lu Yuan recognized the Soul Beast at a glance: Xiong Jun, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beast, a Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear with over 400,000 years of cultivation, whose strength was at the half-step limit. It was the strongest Ferocious Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest besides Di Tian.
Of course, now it is guarding the gateway between the core area and the mixed area. This was originally a duty of the Sky Azure Bull Python, but Lu Yuan assigned it to Xiong Jun.
"Hey, Xiong Jun, long time no see!" Lu Yuan greeted Xiong Jun with a smile.
The debt it owed Long Xiaoyao back then has now been settled by guarding the gate. Lu Yuan isn't the kind of person who holds grudges and never lets go of other people's mistakes.
On the contrary, Xiong Jun is now the main force that will crush the Clear Sky Sect in the future. For this reason alone, shouldn't we treat him better?
"It's you, kid!" Xiong Jun's huge body was bent over, his massive head was slightly lowered, and his two bright yellow eyes, like lanterns, gleamed with a sharp light.
"So you're planning to go back to the human world?" Xiong Jun spoke softly, but his voice was like a muffled thunderclap, exploding in Lu Yuan's ears.
"Yes, going back to the human world and interacting with humans will help me improve my strength much faster!" Lu Yuan said casually.
In any case, only Gu Yuena Di Tian know his human identity. Apart from the two of them, the other Ferocious Beast all believe that he is Golden Dragon in human form. It is common knowledge among these Ferocious Beasts that Soul Beast Transformation can increase their strength faster when they come into contact with humans.
"Oh!" Xiong Jun nodded.
"How does it feel to be guarding the gate here, Xiong Jun?" Lu Yuan asked deliberately.
"Don't even mention it, it's so boring. There are practically no Soul Beast that dare to come here. I'm just a bear, and I'm so bored. I don't know which bastard suggested it to the master, that I be sent to guard the gate. For someone of my status to be doing the work of Sky Azure Bull Python, it's truly despicable." Xiong Jun's voice was tinged with resentment, and he harbored deep malice towards the person who suggested that he be sent to guard the gate.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan chuckled inwardly. When Di Tian sent Xiong Jun to guard the gate, he only said that Gu Yuena had sent him, without mentioning that it was Lu Yuan's idea. Therefore, Xiong Jun had no idea that Lu Yuan was the culprit who sent him to guard the gate.
On the contrary, after learning Lu Yuan's true 'identity', Xiong Jun's attitude towards Lu Yuan was quite good. After all, the Golden Dragon is one of the highest-ranking Dragon Clan, and only the Silver Dragon Clan can compare with it.
Moreover, the relationship between Gu Yuena and Lu Yuan is no secret among these Ferocious Beasts. Even if Xiong Jun is simple-minded, he would not do anything bad to Lu Yuan. What's more, Xiong Jun is not only not simple-minded now, but also very smart.
"Oh, is there no fun at all?" Lu Yuan asked with a smile.
"There is some fun in it. For example, a while ago, three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors with an age of over 90,000 years came here. They were very rude and even tried to take over the territory. As a result, I killed one of them with two claws, and the remaining two ran away."
"These three stupid ants, seeing that the auras of the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape have disappeared, actually think they're the boss, not even putting me in their eyes. Don't they know who I am? That little python and that little monkey dare to compare themselves to me?"
"Those three stupid ants, whom even the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape dare not provoke, actually dare to cause trouble for me."
"If I don't teach them a lesson, they won't know pain!"
"After I casually swatted one dead, the remaining two quickly fled. Here, this is a piece of Soul Bone dropped by that stupid ant. Is it a torso bone or not? I don't need it, you can take it!"
As Xiong Jun spoke, he pulled out a piece of yellowish-brown torso bone from the side and threw it to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan quickly took it.
This torso bone is quite complete and very old, over 90,000 years old, not far from 100,000 years old. The value of this Soul Bone is probably no less than that of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
After all, although that right leg bone was Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, it was only the lowest-valued right leg bone among the six Soul Bones. The one in front of them, however, was the most precious torso bone among the six Soul Bones. Moreover, it was over 90,000 years old, close to the 100,000-year level, and its condition was quite complete.
In terms of true value, it's really no less valuable than the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
Lu Yuan would naturally not refuse such a treasure.
"Then Xiong Jun!" Lu Yuan put away the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Torso Bone. This thing would be quite suitable to give to either Hu Liena or Zhu Zhuqing.
After all, the torso bones are not as clearly distinguished as the limb Soul Bone, or the strength-type and agility-type bones. The torso bones are basically applicable to all Soul Master.
Just like skulls, basically any skull will increase mental power, it's just that different skulls have slightly different effects.
Generally speaking, in fact, every Soul Master can absorb any skull.
The same applies to torso bones. As long as they are torso bones, they will definitely greatly increase physical fitness and defense, which is very effective for both Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing.
Moreover, this torso bone is over 90,000 years old, almost 100,000 years old. Even if it's not quite right, it's still many levels stronger than ordinary 10,000-year-old torso bones.
"No need. This thing is of no use to me, but it might be of some use to you. Just remember to say a few good words for me to the lord, and get me transferred away from here as soon as possible. I've really had enough of guarding this broken gate," said Xiong Jun.
"Okay, I'll talk to Na'er if I have the chance!" Lu Yuan said with a slight smile.
Since Xiong Jun gave the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Torso Bone, it's not unreasonable to speak up for it.
It's fine to transfer it away after the Clear Sky Sect matter is over.
However, thinking of the Clear Sky Sect, Lu Yuan's eyes darted around, and an idea popped into his head.
"Xiong Jun, you must guard this gate well. I heard that there is a sect in the human world called Clear Sky Sect. They have been trying to hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. They have several Titled Douluo. You need to be careful and make sure they don't break into the core area."
"Otherwise, you're probably in for a rough time. You should know that there's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit that has taken human form in the core area. If she's accidentally hunted down, your guilt will be immense," Lu Yuan said.
"Don't worry, with me here, everything will be fine. When those people from the Clear Sky Sect come, I'll crush them all in no time."
Xiong Jun patted his chest and said confidently.
