Mystic Bone Treasure Scripture

The villagers laughed until their mouths would not close. This was an unexpected delight; no one had imagined that the Azure-Scaled Eagle would bring them fierce beasts. This savage bird truly possessed spirituality and intelligence. In the days that followed, the Azure-Scaled Eagle occasionally brought back prey, from Flying Pythons to giant elephants—every kind of mountain beast imaginable.

In just one month, the three little fellows had swollen up like inflated balloons. They were now nearly two meters long, and their appetites were astonishing, growing larger by the day.

"The eldest is called Roc, the second Little Green, and the third Purple Cloud." These were the names the children had given the three young birds.

It had to be said that the three Azure-Scaled Eagles were extraordinarily spiritual and uncanny. They understood human nature and could comprehend whatever was said to them; they simply could not speak human language.

Purple Cloud, the youngest, was especially spiritual and remarkably powerful. When it had only been a little over a meter long, it once flapped its wings and ran out of the village, tearing apart several tigers and wolves and leaving the villagers dumbfounded.

"Little Purple, come here." Shi Hao ran ahead while Purple Cloud toddled after him, making the other children endlessly envious. This extraordinary young bird was especially close to Little Dot.

"Chirp chirp!" Purple Cloud ran up and used its scaled wings to massage Little Dot's back. It was hard to connect it with a ferocious Azure-Scaled Eagle.

"What a shameless flatterer! Isn't it just because Little Dot taught you Bone Script?!" The children curled their lips in indignation.

Little Dot had come up with a novel idea and insisted on teaching the three Azure-Scaled Eagles the Bone Script developed by humans. As a result, the mutated Purple Cloud learned with exceptional enthusiasm. It was even smarter than humans and became increasingly close to him.

Whoosh!

Little Dot raised an arm. Runes lit up, and countless patterns spread across both his arms, gleaming brilliantly. Then he pointed a finger. With a sharp hiss, a tiny crimson sparrow shot forth and set a large tree ahead ablaze.

Clap! Clap!...

Purple Cloud smacked its wings together, producing loud claps as though applauding in praise. Its large, limpid eyes blinked repeatedly, and it chirped without pause, its expression full of fawning affection.

"Wow, this bird has practically become a spirit! It's only one month old, yet it already understands so much. It's far stronger than a human at one month old!" the children cried.

Huffing and puffing, the other two Azure-Scaled Eagles, Roc and Little Green, also ran over and rubbed their heads against Little Dot. Intelligent savage birds craved power even more than humans. The Bone Script he taught them could accelerate their growth.

During this time, Little Dot, Shi Hao, had also gained enormously. As descendants of ancient demonic birds, Azure-Scaled Eagles naturally possessed precious bones within their bodies, bearing powerful runes with astonishing mysterious power. He had been studying them all along.

The patterns produced by these primordial precious bones belonged exclusively to their race. The more powerful an ancient descendant was, the less it would allow such runes to be passed on; otherwise, it would hunt the offender with all its strength. Fortunately, these three young birds were unusual and had been raised by the villagers. Such primordial runes were incomparably rare and far surpassed ordinary Bone Script devised by humans. They were secrets never passed down and could be called precious runes.

It could be said that one such rune was equal to a powerful bone scripture of the human race. Any creature capable of naturally producing runes within its body was absolutely extraordinary.

The two ancestral artifacts of Stone Village had fallen from the bodies of two incomparably terrifying ancient descendants. Only after being polished and refined through sacrifice had they become the fearsome treasures they were now.

Recently, Little Dot, Shi Hao, often spent time fooling around with the three young birds and had figured out quite a few things. The clan chief, Shi Yunfeng, was happy to let them stay together.

Purple Cloud in particular had undergone an ancestral reversion. Even if it had inherited only part of the imprint of an ancient demonic bird, it would still be exceptionally terrifying and astonishing. The rune within its body could absolutely be called a "Mystic Bone Treasure Scripture."

If word of this got out, it would certainly stir the desires of many tribes.

At dawn, the red sun rose through the mist. Soft rays of sunlight spilled down, dyeing the heavy fog in the mountain forest with colors as it slowly drifted along.

The air was fresh, and dewdrops rolled down blades of grass and vines. A group of young and middle-aged men from Stone Village were setting off once more to hunt.

"Uncles, be careful when you enter the mountains."

Little Dot, Shi Hao, had been playing with the three young birds. Now he came toddling over to see them off, lifting his small face with bright eyes as he greeted them one by one. He went to bed early and rose early as well. The young men burst into laughter, came over to pinch his rosy, apple-like little cheeks, then strode together toward the mountain forest.

"Little Purple, let me take another look. I still don't quite understand how the rune formed inside your body works."

After their playtime, Little Dot stretched out his plump white hand and wrapped it around Purple Cloud's neck in an intimate gesture. He had it relax and reveal the imprint on its precious bones so he could study it.

"Chirp chirp..." Roc and Little Green were dissatisfied. They crowded over and rubbed their heads against his little arm.

"Roc, don't make trouble. I'll study your rune in a while too. Little Green, I'll take you to catch dragonfish to eat later. Don't disturb me now, okay?" Little Dot wrapped his arms around their necks as well, soothing them.

In truth, the three young birds were now a head taller than Shi Hao. Whether in the past or now, he was always the little dot of the village.

"Wow, so that's how it works. The changes are so complicated, as intricate and profound as the arrangement of countless stars." Little Dot's eyes opened wide as he watched the brilliant patterns from Purple Cloud's precious bones emerge across its body. This time, he finally understood much more.

"Chirp chirp!"

Roc and Little Green were also very curious. They stared without blinking at the runes growing within their brother's body, as though trying to memorize them and digest them in their minds.

"Roc, Little Green, let me see your precious runes." Little Dot turned his attention to the other two Azure-Scaled Eagles.

He continued to explore, touching their precious bones. Crystalline radiance emerged there, and mysterious symbols appeared, making their scales look translucent and resplendent.

Little Dot thought deeply, refining what he had learned and pondered over the past days. Then he closed his eyes and muttered, "It should be like this. The complex patterns connect and evolve, then shine, and mysterious power surges forth..."

Whoosh!

Specks of light appeared on Little Dot's left hand. Then a brilliant crescent moon shot out and flew rapidly into the distance. With a crack, it sliced through a towering tree in a single stroke. The tree crashed to the ground with a rumble, filling the air with dust.

"Wow, Little Dot succeeded! He actually learned the Azure-Scaled Eagle's ability! That was a primordial precious rune—it's so powerful!" A group of children in the distance were stunned at the sight.

"Quiet!" The clan chief appeared. Such a great commotion had naturally alerted him. He made the children stop making noise so they would not disturb Shi Hao, who first looked bewildered before sinking back into thought.

"Little Purple, let me see it again. After verifying it against Roc and Little Green, I think I understand a little." Shi Hao hugged Purple Cloud's neck, his eyes shining as though he had grasped many things.

Purple Cloud gave a long cry, and precious radiance blossomed from its entire body, making it appear incomparably sacred. Though still young, it already carried an inviolable air of majesty that made the villagers' hearts tremble.

A complex and profound rune, constantly shifting and changing, appeared across its body, making every one of its purple scales crystalline and translucent, dazzlingly beautiful!

Divine light appeared in Little Dot's eyes like gemstones shining. He stared unblinking at the precious rune. Only after a long while did one of his arms begin to tremble slightly. A blazing light moved along his arm, rushed into his palm, and then broke free.

Clang!

That light actually gave off a metallic tremor, like a treasure being drawn from its sheath. A bright and sacred full moon flew out and sliced through a hard boulder five or six meters tall with a hiss. The Silver Moon spun in place, and with a crack, the massive rock was instantly split into two.

The cut was smooth and even. With a rumble, the upper half of the rock, weighing several thousand jin, crashed to the ground. Earth and stones flew everywhere, and dust clouds billowed.

In the distance, everyone turned to stone. What terrifying power was this? A full moon had appeared and directly cleaved apart such a massive boulder, hard as iron. It was truly shocking!

"What a powerful rune! This purple young bird has indeed inherited part of the imprint of an ancient demonic bird and recreated it." Clan Chief Shi Yunfeng was deeply excited. "Little Dot is truly remarkable. It has only been one month, yet he has actually uncovered the secret of such a primordial precious rune. His talent is astounding!"

Purple Cloud, Roc, and Little Green were also amazed. They were still young and far from able to unleash the mysterious power of the runes within their bodies. Seeing this result, they were all thrilled.

"Grandpa Clan Chief, I think I understand it now." Little Dot's eyes shone as he called out happily.

Shi Yunfeng hurried over and quietly warned him, "The primordial rune you just used can absolutely be called a 'Mystic Bone Treasure Scripture.' It is exceedingly rare, powerful enough to inspire fear. Do not use it lightly in the future unless it is a critical moment."

Little Dot blinked his large eyes, scratched his head, and asked, "How strong can it be? It still shouldn't be complete. I think there should be a tree and a palace appearing on that Silver Moon too, but I can't do that yet."

"At the very least, it is already enough to contend with your Uncle Lin Hu and Uncle Fei Jiao. A 'Mystic Bone Treasure Scripture' is something an entire tribe would desperately covet!" the clan chief said solemnly.

Hearing this, Little Dot nodded seriously, then smiled in his simple, innocent way. That day, he kept practicing and improving it further. Even the clan chief sighed in admiration again and again, for he could not offer any help.

The sun set, and the evening glow dyed the horizon red. A group of hunters returned. They had not brought back much prey, and someone had been carried back.

"What happened? What's going on?" The villagers rushed out, all extremely anxious.

"Don't worry, no one died. But Little Monkey's father is badly injured. He was shot by an arrow, and it struck his lung." Shi Linhu's expression was grim.

"What happened?" Several clan elders emerged and questioned him.

"It was the people from Bei Village, several dozen li away. We have not seen them for a year or more, but for some reason, they entered our hunting grounds and competed with us for prey. They nearly shot Little Monkey's father to death."

Please vote for recommendations again. I hope to secure first place, because those behind may very well overtake us—they are very close.
