High Priest Nash of Fox chuckled and explained, "They have absolutely nothing to do with the Dread Beast. Although these strange creatures are even larger than the Dread Beast, they are pitifully weak in terms of combat power. They can only survive in environments like the Evil Water Swamp, where there isn't much natural space."
"Now that you mention it, I'm even more curious. Let's catch one and see," Sun Fei said, his curiosity piqued.
"Haha, what's so difficult about that?"
Bear, the Minotaur Clan Nowitzki, laughed heartily, and with a wave of his hand, a surge of immense Dou Qi aura erupted from the distance.
It then summoned a small, weak, beast-like Dread Beast from the air, grabbed it above the treacherous lake, and with a bang, crushed the frantically struggling and howling Dread Beast like a watermelon, sending its foul-smelling blood and chunks of flesh crashing into the crystal-clear water below.
Sun Fei was puzzled by Nowitzki's actions...
Suddenly, the calm water below, upon seeing a trace of blood, began to boil uncontrollably, as if it were being scalded.
The bottom of the originally pale white pool began to writhe wildly, gradually turning violent. Eventually, the entire area became completely chaotic. Sun Fei clearly saw the pale white, muddy substance rise up from the water, engulfing the blood, flesh, and severed limbs of the Dread Beast that had fallen into the water. Like a frenzied sponge, it writhed and chewed, absorbing all the remains of a Dread Beast over fifty meters tall in an instant.
It was at this moment that countless fluctuations of life Spiritual Power suddenly appeared without warning in this once lifeless and desolate lake.
This sudden change completely shocked Sun Fei. (This chapter was uploaded by a friend)
Just moments ago, he had released a massive surge of Spiritual Power to probe the area, and within a ten-kilometer radius, there was absolutely no trace of life or soul fluctuations. His Spiritual Power probing had never failed him before, so why was he so unaware of these countless sudden spiritual fluctuations before him this time?
At this point, the presence of life forms below could be seen with the naked eye.
One after another, 'mountains of flesh' rolled out of the pool. It turned out that the pale white mud and sand seen earlier were actually the soft flesh of the abdomen of an enormous life form. In fact, this strange life form was entirely made of soft flesh, with various shapes. Most of them were plump elongated strips, like silkworms magnified countless times, or more like piles of fat, wriggling and trembling slightly, frantically fighting for the flesh and blood of the Dread Beast.
The surging Spiritual Power fluctuations emanated from this soft flesh.
"Could it be that this strange creature is also proficient in Spiritual Power techniques, which is why it can Avoid my Spiritual Power detection?" Sun Fei's eyes were wide open. The wonders of nature are truly beyond human comprehension.
On the other side, Nowitzki and the other powerful Orc Clan were all excited upon seeing this scene. They laughed heartily and began hunting down this strange life form with a fervor that even Sun Fei found astonishing.
O'Neal was the most excited.
With a burst of wild laughter, the Grizzly's Dou Qi spirit surged, and with a swift movement, it pulled a beast over a hundred meters tall directly from the pool. With a casual slap, the beast was reduced to hundreds of uniformly sized, tender pieces of meat. Surprisingly, no blood gushed out; instead, streams of fragrant juice flowed out.
At this moment, the look of surprise on Sun Fei's face deepened.
Judging from the frequency of the soul's Spiritual Power fluctuations, despite being almost torn to pieces, the life force of this mountain of flesh-like beast was not weakened at all; on the contrary, it became even stronger. The Spiritual Power fluctuations it emitted did not show the painful struggle of a life facing the threat of death, nor did they show any anger. After a slight panic, it calmed down, as if it had become accustomed to it.
O'Neal searched for a while and found a shiny crystal the size of an adult's fist in a piece of pink, tender flesh, which he casually tossed into the lake.
Sun Fei's eyes lit up.
He discovered that all the Spiritual Power fluctuations emanating from the strange beast actually came from this crystal.
When they turned to look again, almost every Orc Clan warrior was doing the same thing as the Grizzly O'Neal.
The fanatical orcs dragged the enormous beast from the pool, shredded its body with their Dou Qi, and kept the tender, fragrant pieces of meat, but threw the strange silver crystal that was stirring up soul fluctuations back into the pool.
In the blink of an eye, the edge of the Evil Water Swamp was piled high with neatly cut pieces of meat.
At this point, Sun Fei had begun to understand.
So these guys were hunting.
This strange beast was enormous, with tender pink flesh and a unique aroma; it must have been an extremely delicious ingredient.
For the Behemoth Beastmen, such a delicacy is truly rare, and ordinary people simply cannot reach this place to capture these beasts.
However, Sun Fei's attention was still focused on the glittering silver crystal.
With a wave of his hand, he retrieved a crystal that had been thrown into the water.
This silver crystal is the size of an adult's fist. Like a diamond carved by a master craftsman in a past life, its surface is divided into different facets, shimmering with a crystal-clear silver luster. It is exceptionally dazzling under the sunlight, and its texture is extremely crystalline, without the slightest impurity. Every internal structure can be clearly seen. Light passes through it, refracting and decomposing into rays of colorful light.
These crystals, devoid of any magical aura, had previously emitted vibrant Spiritual Power fluctuations, like living souls.
But now, in Sun Fei Fei's hand, it seemed as if there was nothing inside. The soul fluctuations had vanished without a trace. Sun Fei released his Spiritual Power to scan it very carefully, but he found nothing unusual and did not detect any signs of soul fluctuations.
"How could that be? Could I have misread it?"
Sun Fei was even more surprised.
He squeezed it slightly, only to find that the silver, transparent crystal was incredibly hard. With just a fraction of his strength, he couldn't even break it.
Sun Fei's curiosity grew even stronger.
That's really strange.
"Your Majesty has misjudged this time. This crystal looks beautiful, but it's actually useless. It can neither guide Dou Qi nor serve as an attachment for totem patterns. Moreover, its texture is too hard to be carved or polished into ornaments. It would be better to throw it back into the pool and let it absorb the natural energy between heaven and earth. After a year, it will recreate large chunks of fresh meat, haha."
Pope Ernst approached Sun Fei and said with a smile.
Sun Fei raised an eyebrow, surprised, and said, "Your Majesty means that if this crystal is placed in the pool of water, it can regenerate after a year?"
