Goddess of Luck Descends? Three Ninety Thousand Year Soul Bones!!

"Flood Dragon?!"

Lin Qing's eyes lit up, his interest completely piqued!

A Flood Dragon!

This was far purer than a Soul Beast like the Sky Azure Bull Python, with its bull head, python body, and only a trace of dragon bloodline.

It was an existence with a genuine chance of transforming into a dragon and joining the ranks of the true Dragon Clan.

Whether in terms of quality or the special attributes it might bring, its Soul Ring would undoubtedly benefit the Golden Dragon Martial Soul far more than those ordinary Strength-type Soul Beasts.

It might even bring an unexpected surprise!

"Interesting... the Star Dou Great Forest truly is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. No, it really has a hidden 'flood dragon'!"

Lin Qing excitedly stroked his chin, his thoughts racing.

This was a hidden Soul Beast that had never been mentioned in the Original Work.

He had to go take a look!

His burning gaze turned toward the Sky Azure Bull Python.

"Da Ming, can you tell me the exact location of that Black Pool?"

The Sky Azure Bull Python nodded its massive bull head in agreement.

"Yes."

"I'm not worried about your current strength."

"However..."

Its tone shifted, becoming cautious.

"Too much time has passed. I no longer remember the exact location clearly. I only remember that it was somewhere deep in the northwest."

"And after tens of thousands of years, whether the terrain there has changed, whether that Flood Dragon is still there, and even what its temperament is like are all unknown."

After a brief pause.

The Sky Azure Bull Python made a prudent suggestion.

"How about this? I'll have Er Ming scout the area first."

Er Ming knew the forest better than I did and was faster on his feet.

Having him investigate first, confirm whether the Flood Dragon was still in its lair, and determine the rough strength of its current aura was indeed more appropriate.

"You and I can first take the children back to Lake of Life for a short rest. Once you have fully adapted to your new power and Er Ming returns with news, we can decide what to do then."

"That sounds perfect. Then I'll have to trouble Er Ming."

Lin Qing felt that this arrangement was very sound.

He truly did need some time to properly adapt to his new strength.

With the matter settled.

Everyone prepared to return to Lake of Life.

But just as Lin Qing turned around, his gaze casually swept over the three mountain-sized Thousand Jun Ant Emperor corpses nearby.

Only then did he suddenly remember something, and his steps halted.

"Right!"

He slapped his forehead.

"I was so happy about the Soul Rings that I nearly forgot about this—do you think these three Ninety Thousand Year Soul Beasts might have produced Soul Bones?"

He remembered that after Tang San dealt with these three brothers in the Original Work, not even a single hair had dropped.

His luck had truly been abysmal.

Lin Qing did not hold out much hope either.

The drop rate for Soul Bones was even more mysterious than Soul Ring mutations. It depended entirely on luck.

With the mindset of I'll give it a try—maybe I'll get lucky, and if not, that's normal, he walked toward the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor corpses.

Seeing Dad walk toward those giant ants again, the three little girls curiously followed him.

"Dad, what are you looking for now? The giant ants are already dead."

Lin Rourou tilted up her small face and tugged at Lin Qing's sleeve, her big eyes full of curiosity.

Lin Qing released his Spiritual Power, carefully sensing for any unusual energy fluctuations within the corpses.

At the same time, he answered casually, "Dad is checking whether these giant ants grew a special kind of bone called a 'Soul Bone.'"

Before he could sense any results.

Elsewhere.

Lin Qingzhu, who had always been quiet and reserved, had already silently walked to another relatively intact Thousand Jun Ant Emperor corpse.

The little girl did not mind the filth.

She crouched down and reached her soft, fair little hand into the gaps between the shattered Dark Gold shell and partially congealed flesh, lightly poking around as if searching for something.

Suddenly.

Her little hand stopped.

Her fingertips had touched something hard, cold, and emanating a concealed yet heavy energy fluctuation.

It felt completely different from the surrounding shell and flesh.

Qing Zhu pursed her lips and tugged hard with her little hand.

"Heave!"

"Rip!"

Along with the sound of connective tissue tearing apart, she actually pulled a bone straight out from the mangled heap of flesh.

The entire bone was Dark Gold, a little over a foot long, and vaguely shaped like a miniature human arm bone.

The surface of the arm bone was covered in the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor's unique, dense, mysterious raised patterns.

A Dark Gold gleam faintly flowed across the surface of this strange bone.

A thick, heavy aura containing the power of a thousand jun naturally radiated outward.

Qing Zhu's small face remained expressionless.

She simply carried the Dark Gold bone, which was longer than her own arm, over to Lin Qing. Standing on tiptoe, she tried her best to raise it high and offer it to him.

"Bone."

Her voice was clear and calm.

"Soul Bone."

Lin Qing had been wholly focused on sensing the first corpse. Hearing her, he instinctively turned his head to look.

Then he froze.

"???"

The Dark Gold arm bone in his daughter's hand, radiating an enticing energy fluctuation, was unmistakably a Soul Bone!

His mind could barely process it.

This... she found one just like that?

He blankly accepted the bone.

Ninety Thousand Year Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Left Arm Bone—GET!

"Holy shit... it actually dropped? And it's a Left Arm Bone?"

Lin Qing could not help exclaiming inwardly, feeling as if this was unreal.

This luck... no, Qing Zhu's luck was simply heaven-defying!

"Wow! Qing Zhu found treasure!"

When Lin Rourou saw the "sparkly bone" in her Older Sister's hand, her eyes immediately lit up as well.

She was equally eager to try.

"Rou Rou wants to find treasure too! Rou Rou will find treasure and give it to Dad~"

With that, she immediately spread her short little legs and ran over to the second Thousand Jun Ant Emperor corpse with a patter of footsteps.

Copying Qing Zhu, she did not mind getting dirty either. She stretched out her little hands and began earnestly feeling around and searching through the massive body.

"Wu'er wants to look too! Wu'er wants to find the most amazing treasure for Dad!"

Lin Wu'er refused to be outdone when she saw this.

With a cheer, she ran toward the third corpse—the final Thousand Jun Ant Emperor, the one Er Ming had beaten up the worst—and began her own "treasure hunt."

Lin Qing could not help shaking his head with a smile as he watched his two younger daughters so enthusiastically.

How could Soul Bones be so easily produced?

They were things one could encounter only by chance.

Getting one was already an incredible stroke of luck.

But they were children. Since they were so interested, he would not dampen their enthusiasm.

He would let them play. It did not matter if they found nothing.

Lowering his head, he prepared to properly study the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Left Arm Bone in his hand.

But not long after, only about the time it took for a few dozen breaths.

"Dad, Dad, look, look! Wu'er found one too! It's sparkly, and it's a bone!"

Lin Wu'er's excited shout suddenly rang out.

"?"

Lin Qing raised his head in astonishment.

He saw little Wu'er running back joyfully while hugging a similarly Dark Gold Soul Bone, though this one was clearly a leg bone.

Her small face was full of pride, as if begging to be praised.

Before he could react.

"Dad! Rou Rou found one too! It's this!"

From the other side.

Lin Rourou also came hopping back, holding up a larger Dark Gold bone that was clearly shaped like a spine.

"???"

He looked at the arm bone Qing Zhu had given him in his left hand.

Then at the leg bone Wu'er had given him in his right.

Then at the Trunk Bone Rou Rou was holding up before him...

Lin Qing completely froze.

His brain had crashed!

Three Thousand Jun Ant Emperor corpses... three Soul Bones... a one hundred percent drop rate?!

And his three Six Years Old daughters had each casually felt out one, as though picking up pretty shells on a beach?

This probability, this luck... could no longer be described as merely heaven-defying!

It was as if the Heavenly Dao were personally feeding them, while the Goddess of Luck had descended as a group to kiss them!
