Treasure Techniques

A Suanni like this was terrifying beyond measure. Even after death, it would still be worth a fortune; its entire body was a treasure trove. Who would not want it? "It really makes one's eyes burn with envy. I wish I could rush over there at once and seize its true blood and primordial treasure symbols." Some of the clan's young men rubbed their fists and palms together.

"Even if that Suanni is tottering with age, it is not something we can handle. We must not act rashly. Wait patiently." The clan chief looked solemn as he earnestly warned them.

"Haha, this time we gained quite a haul. Come to think of it, Little Dot rendered great service. Without him, there would have been a bloody melee."

"Yiya..." Little Dot looked embarrassed and scratched his head. He called out to Purple Cloud, Roc, and Little Green, then ran off into the distance.

Boom!

A gigantic bird dove down from the clouds, its scales flashing with cold light. The Azure-Scaled Eagle appeared, clutching an enormous Fire Rhinoceros in its talons, and with a thunderous crash tossed it outside the village. Every so often, it would bring back a huge prey animal.

By now, the chicks had been born for nearly two months. Their bodies had grown to around two and a half meters long, becoming increasingly robust and powerful. Flapping their wings, they could almost fly into the air.

"Little Purple, hurry up and grow big, then you can take me deep into the mountains for a look." Little Dot hugged their necks, his large eyes blinking with hope. After that, he began exploring the three chicks' primordial treasure symbols again, studying the mysterious power unique to their race.

Hum!

With a soft tremor, a silver moon emerged from his palm, gentle and sacred, scattering flecks of clear radiance. Then the silver moon rose and hung behind his head, making Little Dot appear extraordinarily mystical.

During his last battle with Bei Feng, he had merely fused this primordial treasure symbol into his palm. He had not used this complete silver moon against his enemy. Otherwise, its power would have been even greater.

The silver moon spun around him, scattering pure white radiance and making Little Dot seem indescribably holy.

"Yiya, I understand a little more now. There is a giant bird living in the palace on the moon. Could it be Purple Cloud and Roc's ancestor—that ancient demonic bird?" Shi Hao muttered hazily.

There was a tree on the silver moon, along with a cluster of palaces. The patterns were intricate and complex. Now that Little Dot's study of the Mystic Bone Treasure Scripture had improved again, he could see some of them clearly.

He shook the silver moon outward. The entire treasure moon was clear and bright. A bird cry rang out from the palace within it, while the tree swayed, scattering flecks of clear radiance.

This did not seem like a silver moon constructed from runes, because it was far too real. It was more like a divine moon falling from the heavens, vivid and lifelike.

Clang!

A metallic tremor rang out, like an ancient treasure artifact sealed away for ages had been washed clean of dust and returned to the world, ringing sharply with sacred brilliance.

The silver moon circled a huge boulder five or six meters long. With a crack, it sliced the stone apart, leaving a smooth, level cross-section. Yet it did not slow, charging onward and severing two more boulders in succession before finally dimming.

"Ah, last time it only shattered one boulder, but now it directly cut through three. So powerful!" Little Dot exclaimed, his mouth hanging open in astonishment.

This silver moon was much more solid than before. Runes flickered within it, while the palace and ancient tree could vaguely be seen. It was vivid and lifelike, and its power had risen by a great deal.

"Little Dot is amazing! He can actually send out a moon disk like that. I think it is enough to deal with those prehistoric beasts in the mountains." The children were all filled with envy when they saw it.

"Mm, this shows just how terrifying that ancient demonic bird was. If the inherited imprint were complete, this would absolutely be a divine technique. Even as it is, it remains extremely rare," said the clan chief.

Such a powerful method of attack could be called a treasure technique, a divine ability each great clan kept hidden as dearly guarded treasure!

"After so many years, our clan can finally be said to possess a treasure technique." Some of the clan elders were extremely excited.

Treasure techniques like this generally belonged to a powerful race. If Little Dot had not raised the Azure-Scaled Eagle and observed and studied it from close range, there would have been no way to obtain it.

"I wonder how that Suanni in the mountains is doing. If it truly dies of old age and we obtain its primordial remains, that would mean another terrifying treasure technique is within our grasp."

"The more powerful an ancient remnant is, the less likely it is to allow the clan's secret inheritance to leak out. Especially the primordial rune imprints on its bones—they may be destroyed before it dies." Shi Yunfeng frowned.

It was precisely because of this that primordial treasure symbols were so rare and precious. There were truly very few of them. They represented the powerful inheritance of a race and meant that a treasure technique might be contained within.

"I truly hope that Suanni does not destroy its treasure bones. It is a genuine ancient remnant! The treasure technique it contains must be utterly astonishing!" Shi Linhu said.

The clan chief shook his head. "Do not be too greedy. Our clan will already be fortunate if we obtain one treasure technique by chance."

Four days later, an earth-shaking roar made the myriad mountains and valleys tremble. Every beast shook in fear and knelt upon the ground, while all fierce birds fled skyward. Rocks rolled down the slopes, countless trees swayed, and the entire forest quaked.

That Suanni emerged from the depths of the mountain range and reached the outer region. It was about to die of old age and had come to seek a place to bury itself. Its might was terrifying.

"It truly is about to die of old age. It will probably happen within the next day or two!"

All of Stone Village was stirred. If they obtained Suanni's corpse, it would be an enormous treasure trove. Its true blood would surely have astonishing divine effects; it was a true great medicine within the blood.

"Mm, a genuine ancient remnant. If its bloodline is pure enough, perhaps the true blood for Little Dot's baptism at age five will fall upon it." Even Shi Yunfeng could not remain calm. He paced back and forth, his expression excited, wishing he could seize it immediately.

"Have people watch it carefully. We must make preparations and be ready to set out at any moment!" Several clan elders could no longer sit still. They were nervous, excited, and anxious, their hearts unable to find peace.

As for Shi Linhu, Shi Feijiao, and the large group of young, able-bodied men, their breathing had become rapid, and their eyes were nearly bloodshot.

"I saw it! That Suanni tore apart many vicious beasts and turned that stretch of forest into a forbidden zone. Not a trace of bird or beast remained."

A day later, a clansman ran back to the village to report. Standing atop a mountain peak, he had witnessed that terrifying scene from afar.

Clan chief Shi Yunfeng abruptly turned around. "Go! We begin our operation, but we must remain on high alert. This time, it will most likely not be just us. Other beasts and villages will also come to fight for it."

"Grandpa Clan Chief, I'm going too!" Little Dot volunteered.

The clansmen had no objections. His combat strength was now absolutely terrifying. Though he was small, he had already mastered a treasure technique and could unleash tremendous might at a critical moment.

"Chirp chirp..."

Roc, Little Green, and A-Zi crowded forward, rubbing their heads against his arm affectionately. They wanted to go as well.

"Be good, don't make a fuss. The mountains are very dangerous. You have not grown up yet, so you cannot go risking your lives. Wait for me at home. When I return, I'll take you to catch floodfish to eat."

Shi Hao soothed the three chicks while also instructing them to persuade the Azure-Scaled Eagle once more to help when the time came. Searching for Suanni's corpse could be very dangerous. If they had a powerful fierce bird aiding them, things would surely go much more smoothly.

"Let's go! Into the mountains!"

A vast crowd set off into the great mountains, heading toward the burial ground Suanni had chosen.

Boom!

The earth shook and the mountains swayed. It was as though a massive earthquake had struck the depths of the forest. Chaotic rocks shot through the air, and the mountain ranges all trembled. The sight was extremely terrifying.

"Clan Chief, Suanni's lifespan has ended. Before dying, it entered a mountain cave and caused it to collapse!" A clansman ran up from ahead and swiftly reported the news in a loud voice.

"Go, charge forward quickly!" Shi Yunfeng shouted.
