Diamond Squid

Toad King said nothing and dragged more than a dozen curved ribs out of the cave.

Even though the colossal beast was dead, the remaining bones still radiated immense pressure. Their upturned ends curved toward the heavens, flowing with flawless white-jade luster.

Could they all be bones from a Perfected Elephant Great Demon?

Liang Qu was astonished.

Were the two Treasure Fish he had chosen really worth that much?

Two, four, six... a full sixteen Great Demon bones?

Sea Market Master coiled around the enormous bones, examining the marrow and bone quality. After confirming their value, he agreed to the transaction and took only one.

"Great King, the value of your sixteen demon bones exceeds the price. One is enough."

Whew.

Liang Qu relaxed slightly.

Though he was buying them on someone else's behalf, if it truly took sixteen bones, whether those two items were worth it would be another question entirely.

Toad did not put away the remaining ribs. "Do you have Diamond Squid eggs? Trade me a few portions."

"Please wait, Great King."

Several of Sea Market Master's tentacles stretched out. Two Treasure Fish were gently delivered before Liang Qu.

The Silver Chi was silver white from head to tail, slender as a snake. Near the back of its neck was a fish fin, drifting as gracefully as sheer gauze.

The Blood Lion Fish resembled an upgraded Red Mane Lion Fish, only fiercer and more savage.

From its scales to its eyes, every part was blood-red. Its neck and back were covered in sharp spines, making it look like a mass of flowing fresh blood.

Sea Market Master reminded him, "The Silver Chi may be eaten as usual, but the Blood Lion Fish's spines are highly poisonous. Please remember to remove every spine and extract its poison sac."
