" Lie Fu, has Xiao Haozi really never participated in a battle before?"
On the towering city wall built of massive stones, Yun Hu watched in awe as a figure fought a small group of Ferocious Beast below. He couldn't believe that the kid was actually on the battlefield for the first time.
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
Lie Fu rolled his eyes, but his gaze toward Wang Hao grew increasingly appreciative.
Their Jiuli Tribe needs a genius like this right now!
Below the city wall, Wang Hao wielded a giant sword and slashed down violently, splitting the head of a Ferocious Beast open.
That wasn't all. He released the greatsword with both hands, lunged forward, and kicked the Ferocious Beast's massive body thousands of times, shattering most of its bones.
Finally, with ruthless cruelty, countless tiny, dark bone spurs extended from its own body, piercing into the Ferocious Beast's body through the wounds it had inflicted, only then did the Ferocious Beast let out a mournful cry.
The Ferocious Beast here are unlike any other; they are extremely powerful, and their regenerative abilities are terrifyingly high, making them practically immortal. Even if they are pulverized into mincemeat, they can quickly regenerate after a period of time. Only certain special methods can truly kill them.
The bone spurs that Wang Hao just used were a special technique.
Catching his breath slightly, he glanced around to make sure no other Ferocious Beast were hiding, then grabbed the carcass of a huge Ferocious Beast, and with a powerful thrust of his waist, flung it onto the city wall.
Without pausing, he flung the corpses of the other dozen or so Ferocious Beast up with him before leaping onto the city wall.
This city wall was built to defend against Ferocious Beast, so there was no gate. The only way to pass through was to jump up like this.
"Should we send them back to your place? I don't know why you dragged these Ferocious Beast carcasses back here! You can't eat them, and you can't use them!"
Several burly men stepped forward, ready to help Wang Hao return these Ferocious Beast to Wang Hao residence as they had done a few days ago. However, they still didn't understand why Wang Hao was doing this, and even Lie Fu was unaware of it.
After all, Ferocious Beast are different from others; they contain a large amount of malevolent energy within their bodies, and given the limited resources here, they lack the ability to remove this malevolent energy, making them unfit for consumption.
Previously, they would throw the carcasses of these Ferocious Beast far away, leaving them to be devoured by other Ferocious Beast. But Wang Hao seemed to have found a treasure, collecting a large pile of Ferocious Beast carcasses every day without saying what he was going to do with them, acting all mysterious.
"No need this time, I have a big surprise for you!"
Wang Hao shook his head slightly, walked to the side of a huge Ferocious Beast corpse, and pressed his hand on it. The next moment, the inside of the Ferocious Beast's corpse trembled violently, and in the blink of an eye, hideous gray-white bone spikes surged out from it, seeping into the huge city wall below. They spread along the cracks between the boulders like tree roots, further reinforcing the city wall.
That wasn't all. On the outer city wall, sharp, spear-like bone spikes were erected, their grayish-white surfaces engraved with black lines, containing destructive power.
That's right, this is the result of Wang Hao's research over the past ten days.
In the Hokage storyline, Kimimaro Kaguya once used her Shikotsumyaku) to create a forest of bones, and Wang Hao naturally knows the same technique.
However, this method is not very effective against strong opponents of the same level, so it has never been used much, at most for clearing out weaker enemies.
But now that Awakening this Xuanming Bone Spikes, coupled with the battle situation here, he has a new idea.
That is to create a forest of bones using the corpses of Ferocious Beast as a source to defend against those Ferocious Beast.
Normally, these bone forests would hide underground, but he could control them to suddenly burst forth when Ferocious Beast attacked.
These grayish-white bone spurs, born from the corpses of Ferocious Beast, are not as good as his own Xuanming Bone Spikes, but they are not far off. Moreover, he can also add a small portion of the destructive power of the Xuanming Bone Spikes to these bone spur forests, which are the black patterns.
"You little rascal!"
Lie Fu and the others immediately saw through Wang Hao's plan and beamed with joy.
While this method cannot deal with truly powerful Ferocious Beast, it can be used to deal with those inferior ones, and it can also reinforce the city walls, helping to relieve a considerable amount of pressure on them.
Furthermore, they had no way to utilize the corpses of those Ferocious Beast, so it was perfect to make use of Wang Hao, who was essentially useless.
"That's not all! Lie Fu, look at this Ferocious Beast's corpse!"
Wang Hao smiled and gestured for Lie Fu and the others to come and take a look; this was the second big surprise he had prepared.
"The malevolent energy is gone!"
Lie Fu and the others walked forward with a puzzled look, carefully examining and sensing the shrunken corpse of the Ferocious Beast. They quickly discovered the anomaly, and everyone was stunned into silence, followed by wild joy.
Their supplies here are not plentiful, and the most pressing issue is the shortage of food.
This is the outer edge of the wilderness, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scarce, causing their depleted essence and blood to recover very slowly.
Originally, their essence and blood power could be replenished through food, but due to limited resources, they had to use it sparingly, and even in battle they had to be careful with their resources, which was quite annoying.
While not all Ferocious Beast are inedible, without special methods, only a small portion with less malevolent energy can be used as food, which is far from sufficient.
This is because none of them knew how to dispel the evil spirits of Ferocious Beast beasts, which is why they were in such a passive position.
However, Wang Hao had managed to remove the malevolent energy from this Ferocious Beast's body, which filled them with shock and elation.
"Good lad! It seems bringing you here was the wisest decision of my life!"
Lie Fu's grin was practically reaching his ears, and the others also looked like they'd struck gold.
They were overjoyed when Wang Hao first demonstrated his forging skills, which made their battles against the Ferocious Beast much easier.
After all, having weapons and not having weapons are two completely different concepts. Without weapons, at least a third of the people here would have died this year.
And now Wang Hao has brought them another big surprise; they've really struck gold!
Wang Hao still smiled. This was something he had specially researched during his ten days of free time. He even went so far as to expend his Fortune Points to activate the Dao Comprehension Function and make deductions, which is how he finally succeeded in his research.
He can not only extract and manipulate the bones of Ferocious Beast to create a bone forest, but he can also use the Xuanming Bone Spikes to devour and refine the evil energy within these Ferocious Beast.
It is known that the Witch Clan is most adept at utilizing various evil energies, and the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Great Formation they used in the Great War of the Wu and Demons was able to condense the most powerful Dutian Divine Fiends.
Although Wang Hao had only Awakening a Sisi the power of the Xuanming Ancestral Wu Bloodline, it was still something that the ordinary baleful energy within these Ferocious Beast could not withstand.
Moreover, this malevolent energy can enhance the power of the Xuanming Bone Spikes. Perhaps one day he will be able to use it to condense the most powerful Dutian Divine Fiends!
Next, Lie Fu and the others happily skinned the Ferocious Beast, cooked it, and ate it heartily.
These men were all incredibly gluttonous; each of them could swallow a Ferocious Beast whole. In the end, Lie Fu even led a group to hunt down dozens of Ferocious Beast from the edge of the wilderness before everyone could have a proper meal.
After a hearty meal, one-third of the men remained on the city wall to keep watch, while the rest rested inside the city wall to refine the energy from the Ferocious Beast's flesh. Wang Hao was among them.
"Are we about to begin?"
Wang Hao, who was refining the flesh of the Ferocious Beast in his belly, suddenly opened his eyes. Without hesitation, he immediately followed Xiao Mengmeng into the System Space to embark on the next journey through the myriad worlds.
" Xiao Mengmeng? Are you sure you didn't choose the wrong person?"
After opening his eyes again and confirming that he was safe, Wang Hao immediately chose to accept the memories of this body, and then he was dumbfounded.
He stood up and walked to a full-length mirror, examining the body.
The mirror reflected a burly figure, at least three meters tall, with muscles bulging explosively, purple hair, and gold-rimmed glasses, making him appear quite refined.
However, the huge, grotesque mechanical arm on his right arm made him look much more menacing.
That's right, the world he traveled to this time is the One Piece World, and the person he possessed was Marine Admiral Zephyr, but now we have to add the title of former admiral.
When he transmigrated, Zephyr was already 68 years old. According to his predecessor's memories, his friend Garp's grandson Monkey D. Luffy, was already 13 years old and would set sail in four years.
Even more tragically, three years ago, Zephyr led a team of trainees on a sea voyage, only to encounter Whitebeard II Edward Weevil. Not only were his trainees reduced to just thirteen, but his own right arm was also severed, and the Science Department installed that grotesque mechanical arm on him.
That wasn't the end of it. Zephyr's lungs were slashed by Edward Weevil, resulting in complete necrosis of his left lung and the removal of most of his right lung.
This means that he only had one-fifth of his lungs left to maintain bodily functions, and his heart was also severely damaged. This is an important reason why Zephyr's combat power was reduced in the original work; otherwise, he would never have been so easily killed by Kizaru.
After all, this is a top-tier powerhouse who shares the same name as Iron Fist Garp of the Sengoku the Buddha!
However, he didn't remember any conflict between Admiral Zephyr and a certain female protagonist in the plot revealed by the Black Thief King, and he couldn't even find it in his predecessor's memories.
That's why he asked Xiao Mengmeng just now.
"You made the right choice!"
Xiao Mengmeng gave an affirmative answer, Wang Hao had no choice but to pull up the task panel. However, when he saw the female lead's name on the task panel, he was dumbfounded once again.
Main Quest 1: Dao Ancestor of the Heavens - Create a perfect Body Refinement for this world, gain the recognition of all living beings in the world, and become the Dao Ancestor of this world.
Completing the mission will reward you with 3 million Fortune Points; failing the mission will deduct 3 million Fortune Points!
Main Quest Two: World Advancement - Cultivate the Protagonist of the Era Boa Hancock, to become the World Protagonist, leading this world to break the Fate Limit and advance its level.

Punishment Mission: Tear of True Love – Make Boa Hancock, the protagonist of this world, truly fall in love with the host and shed a Tear of True Love for the host!
Completing the mission will reward you with one million Fortune Points; failing the mission will deduct one million Fortune Points!
"The Empress? How could it be her?"
Wang Hao was very puzzled. According to the Pirate King storyline, Luffy is indeed the protagonist, and Boa Hancock has indeed fallen in love with him, so she can be considered the female lead.
But the problem is, that girl has absolutely no relation to my past self!
Empress Hancock rose to fame four years ago, when her predecessor Zephyr, had long since retired to focus on training naval cadets and continuously supplying the navy with elite talent.
Most of the current officers and officers in the Marine Headquarters were trained by the predecessor, Zephyr. During this period, the predecessor basically never left the Marine Headquarters. At most, he led his subordinates to travel around the world for training. He never went to Amazon Lily!
The only conflict with Amazon Lily was more than a decade ago, when she was ordered to stop the previous Empress of the Kuja Pirates from going to sea to plunder.
It's fair to say that the original Empress Boa Hancock, so how can there be a contradiction in Cause and Effect?
"The system's choice is never wrong; perhaps you two have a grudge that your predecessor is unaware of."
Xiao Mengmeng explained.
She was also puzzled by this, but she was certain that she hadn't made the wrong choice this time.
Otherwise, without the Cause and Effect cover-up caused by Boa Hancock, the Protagonist of the Era, Wang Hao's unregistered status would have been discovered by the world's will long ago.
Since things are still going well, there must be some kind of irreconcilable conflict between them and Boa Hancock.
