Picking Up a Suanni Corpse! Comprehending the Suanni Treasure Art!

"What's going on?"

The children's faces turned pale with fear.

A gleam of Essence Light flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes.

"Stop."

He signaled the Green Scaled Eagle to lower its altitude, suppress its aura, and land behind a hidden cliff.

Through the gaps in the rubble, the scene below was laid out in full view.

In the distant valley, dust filled the sky and shattered stones broke through the clouds.

Three colossal creatures were locked in a life-or-death struggle.

The Fierce Beasts fighting for survival were all overlords of the Great Wilderness.

One of them, its entire body golden as if cast from molten gold, was none other than a Suanni!

But this old Suanni was in terrible shape—covered in wounds, its aura withered, clearly at the end of its rope.

Across from it.

A pitch-black Demon Ape, wielding a bone club, was swinging its weapon wildly, each strike splitting the earth open.

On the other side, a Li Huo Bull Demon, its body ablaze with crimson flames, stomped the ground and spewed fire hot enough to melt rock.

Two great Fierce Beasts had joined forces to besiege the dying old Suanni!

"It's a Suanni! A Primordial Remnant Species!"

Er Meng blurted out in shock, then quickly covered his mouth.

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes.

This old Suanni's lifespan was nearly spent; it had sought a place to peacefully pass away, but its enemies had tracked it down.

"This old Suanni won't last much longer."

Ye Xuan saw it clearly.

Though the old Suanni was still fighting desperately, even unleashing a terrifying Thunder Rune that charred one of the Demon Ape's arms black, it was only a final flash of vitality.

"Boom!"

Another violent collision.

The old Suanni let out one last mournful roar, and the Thunder Rune within it erupted fully.

The Demon Ape and the Li Huo Bull Demon, terrified by this suicidal momentum and fearing they'd be dragged down by its dying counterattack, turned and fled, vanishing into the depths of the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

The valley fell silent once more.

The old Suanni's massive body crashed to the ground. Its golden pupils gradually lost their luster, and the last spark of life dissipated with the wind.

One era's overlord, thus ended.

"They're gone?"

Shi Linhu's son, Shi Dazhuang, scratched his head. "They don't want the corpse?"

"They were scared off. They thought the Suanni was going to self-destruct."

Ye Xuan stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes.

"Truly, if heaven offers a gift and you don't take it, you'll suffer for it."

"Green Scaled, descend."

The Green Scaled Eagle let out an excited cry. That was a Suanni corpse! For it, that was a major tonic.

It folded its wings and dove like a bolt of green lightning, landing steadily in the center of the valley.

Ye Xuan jumped off the eagle's back and walked over to the Suanni's corpse.

Even in death, the body still radiated terrifying heat and pressure, keeping ordinary beasts at bay.

Ye Xuan reached out and pressed his hand against the Suanni's forehead.

It was scalding to the touch.

"Well preserved."

Ye Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Looks like this trip not only got the brat back, but I also stumbled onto a huge score."

He grabbed one of the Suanni's massive feet with a single hand and heaved.

"Up!"

The colossal body, weighing over a hundred thousand jin, was flung directly onto the Green Scaled Eagle's back.

The eagle's body sank, nearly collapsing to the ground, and it let out a protesting squawk.

"Don't complain. I'll give you one leg when we get back."

At Ye Xuan's words, the Green Scaled Eagle perked up instantly. Flapping its wings with renewed vigor, it carried the mountain of meat and the group of children, wobbling into the sky.

Stone Village.

The setting sun dyed the entire village gold.

Shi Yunfeng stood with all the village men, old and young, anxiously waiting at the entrance.

"It's been most of the day. Why aren't they back yet?"

"Could something have happened?"

Just as everyone's hearts were burning with worry.

A massive shadow suddenly fell across the sky.

"Look! What is that!"

Someone pointed at the sky in terror.

A colossal green Fierce Bird was diving toward the village, its enormous body blotting out the sun, carrying a suffocating pressure.

"It's a Green Scaled Eagle! Everyone grab weapons! Prepare to fight!"

Shi Yunfeng roared, bone symbols lighting up in his hand.

But the next second.

Everyone froze.

Because on the back of that Fierce Bird, they saw a group of familiar figures.

And a golden, gleaming mountain of meat?

"Boom!"

The Green Scaled Eagle landed on the open ground at the village entrance, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Ye Xuan jumped down first, his expression relaxed.

Then Little Shi Hao and the other brats slid down, dusty but full of energy.

"Chief Grandpa! We're back!"

Little Shi Hao hugged the emerald green egg and charged toward Shi Yunfeng like he was offering a treasure.

Shi Yunfeng stared dumbly at the Green Scaled Eagle, now docilely crouching behind Ye Xuan, then at the massive corpse on its back radiating thunderous energy.

"This... this is a Suanni?!"

"And the Green Scaled Eagle was tamed?"

The villagers were all petrified.

One trip out—not only did they bring the kids back, they also brought an aerial overlord as a mount?

And they picked up a Primordial Remnant Species corpse on the side?

This was too absurd!

"Young Immortal Master... this..."

Shi Yunfeng stammered, overwhelmed.

"We got lucky. Found it on the road."

Ye Xuan said lightly.

"Let's unload this first. Handle it while it's fresh."

Ye Xuan casually dragged the Suanni corpse off and threw it onto the threshing ground.

"Shi Linhu, take some people to boil water and set up the pots."

"Tonight, the whole village eats meat."

"On it!"

Shi Linhu's face flushed with excitement as he called the men to get busy.

A Suanni! In their whole lives, they'd never eaten meat this high-grade!

As they butchered the Suanni, another surprise came.

When Shi Linhu carefully split open the Suanni's skull, a crystalline, golden bone covered in complex symbols fell out.

"A bone treasure! It's a Primordial Bone!"

Shi Yunfeng held the bone, his hands trembling.

"It didn't destroy itself!"

Primordial Remnant Species usually shattered their bone treasures before death, leaving nothing for their enemies.

Getting a complete Primordial Bone was harder than climbing to heaven.

"Looks like Stone Village's fortune has come."

Ye Xuan walked over and picked up the bone to examine it.

The Double Pupils opened.

Those intricate Thunder Dao Runes rapidly decomposed and reorganized in his eyes.

In just a few glances.

A golden arc of lightning leaped up in Ye Xuan's palm.

The Suanni Treasure Art, comprehended in an instant!

He handed the Divine Bone to Shi Yunfeng.

"Chief, keep this bone well. From now on, it will be the clan's inherited treasure art."

"Let the children all learn it. More skills mean more paths in life."

Shi Yunfeng, moved to tears of gratitude, carefully tucked the Divine Bone away.

Having dealt with the Suanni, Ye Xuan did not rest.

He brought the Green Scaled Eagle and those three bird eggs to the foot of the Willow Deity.

"Master."

Ye Xuan bowed respectfully.

"This Green Scaled Eagle, though its bloodline is impure, can still be considered a descendant of the Primordial Demonic Bird. These three eggs even show signs of mutation."

"If they could receive a bit of fortune from Master, they might be able to revert to their ancestral form."

"In the future, they could also serve as guardian beasts for Stone Village."

The Willow Deity said nothing.

That verdant willow branch gently drooped down, brushing across the three green bird eggs.

"Hum!"

A green divine light poured into the eggs.

In an instant, the scale patterns on the eggshells seemed to come alive, frantically shifting and reorganizing.

The originally green eggshells actually revealed a faint trace of Gold-Purple Color.

That was a sign of bloodline evolution!
