Chapter 5: Extraordinary Hits, Creating Bone Blade
Editor: Henyee Translations
"Treasure chest?" Ye Chen did not expect that there would be treasure chests after killing the beasts. Why did it seem like an online game?
Initially, he wanted to open the treasure chest directly. However, he suddenly thought of something and stared at the treasure chest. After a while, golden words appeared again.
[Safe Wooden Treasure Chest. There are food, water, materials, and a blueprint.]
"Are there any unsafe Wooden Treasure Chests?"
Seeing this, Ye Chen was very glad that he had this golden finger. Otherwise, if he was to open any dangerous treasure chests in the future, he would be a laughing stock in Heaven.
This also warned him that he had to be cautious in the wilderness, even if it didn't seem dangerous.
Seeing that it was safe, Ye Chen did not hesitate and directly opened the wooden chest. Indeed, three items were there and appeared in front of him.
There were three bottles of water and each bottle was labeled as one liter. There was a fiery red stone that was not big and was about the size of a baby's fist. There was also a blueprint called a Superior Bone Blade Blueprint.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Ye Chen's face. The water in the wilderness had unknown substances. Without any special method, he did not dare to drink it.
Although he did not know what this fiery red stone was, he was certain that it was definitely not bad.
"The host has obtained a blueprint. Does the host want to make it automatically?"
The system's voice sounded again. Ye Chen raised his brows. "This thing can be made automatically?"
Subsequently, Ye Chen picked up the blueprint and took a look. He saw that it was full of random runes. He felt dizzy as he read it.
The blueprint turned into a white light and entered Ye Chen's mind and a message appeared.
[Superior Bone Blade Blueprint]
[Grade: D, Tenacious Beast Bone: 1 / 1]
[Iron: 0 / 1]
[Copper: 0 / 1]
[Quenching Stone: 1 / 1]
"I can only go to the exchange section to take a look but I will have to deal with the body of the Rhinoceros Boar first."
After making up his mind, he immediately made his move. He called for the Divine Phoenix and used its sharp claws to cut off the horn of the Rhinoceros Boar. Then, he cut off a few pieces from the Rhinoceros Boar and planned to trade them. Currently, food was a strong currency.
Fortunately, the Rhinoceros Boar was huge and had a lot of meat. After dividing up twenty portions, he decided to put them on sale. He opened the system panel and went straight to the Exchange Option. He noticed that there were already people who had put some items on sale. However, most of them were materials. There was not a single piece of food. It was also possible for the food to be sold as soon as it was put on sale.
Seller: Ye Chen
[Exchange Goods: Rhino Pork Slab]
[Requirement: 3 Coppers]
[Alternative/Backup: 5 Iron Blocks]
[Selection: 1 Quenching Stone]
[Remaining quantity: 30]
Copper was much more expensive than iron, so this price was relatively fair. As for the Quenching Stone, it was just a reserve item. It was good to have it but it didn't matter if he didn't have it.
Although this exchange rate was a little high, most of the mutated beasts were unable to fight with the wild beasts at this stage of the game. Food had become a necessity.
This phenomenon would only last in the early stages and would gradually fade away as the mutated beasts grow.
As soon as Ye Chen opened the World Channel, messages flooded like water.
"I'm starving. I was just strolling around when I realized that my mutated beasts are like little babies in the wilderness. I have to support them when they walk, let alone fight. If not for my protection, I would have become food for the wild beasts."
"I'm dying of thirst. I drank some plant juice just now. Who would have thought that my entire mouth would be numb and even thirstier?"
"My luck here is quite good. I found a fruit tree. After eating it, my stomach is a little crippled. The rest is fine."
"I realized that the Protection of the Wilderness has its flaws too. When I was looking for food just now, I was slapped by the ape and the energy in my body has greatly depleted."
"What the f*ck, what did I just find! There's actually someone selling food in the Exchange Option and it's meat!"
"What? Meat? A whole 30 portions of meat? Oh my god!"
"Heavens! It hasn't even been a day, yet someone has already killed a wild beast?"
"Rhinoceros Boar? Someone here also had hatched a Rhinoceros Boar. Could it be that someone went crazy from hunger and slaughtered their own beast? Heavens!"
"The comment above is wrong. From the moment you drip your own blood on the egg, the contract takes effect. If you want to kill your own mutated beast, you will find out that it will leave you. Don't ask me how I know."
"Looks like someone above has a story too…"
After Ye Chen put the Rhinoceros Pork on the table, it didn't take long for the World Channel to descend into an uproar. And soon, there were 999+ messages and everyone was in shock.
After all, it hadn't even been a day and someone had already killed a wild beast.
Not long after, Ye Chen's mind was filled with the notifications from the system.
[The transaction of a Rhino Pork Block was successful. Obtained: 3 Coppers]
[Successful transaction of a Rhino Pork Block. Obtained: 5 Iron Blocks]
[The transaction of a Rhino Pork Block was successful. Obtained: 3 Coppers]
[Successful transaction of a Rhino Pork Block. Obtained: 5 Iron Blocks]
Seeing that the meat on the shelves was so popular and that he had all the materials he needed, Ye Chen immediately took down the items from the Exchange Option.
Those who didn't manage to snatch it were so angry that they thought the meat had been bought by someone else and cursed the person to death.
Many people in the World Channel were asking Ye Chen if he had any extra food and were willing to pay a high price to buy it.
Ye Chen pretended to not see it. No one was a businessman without some tricks. Seeing that the food was so popular, the next time it was put on sale, it would be worth more.
Now that he had all the materials, it was time to make the Bone Blade. He hoped that the Bone Blade he was spending so much on to make would not disappoint him.
"Make the Bone Blade."
[Superior Bone Blade Blueprint]
[Grade: D, Tenacious Beast Bone: 1 / 1]
[Iron: 20 / 1]
[Copper: 12 / 1]
[Quenching Stone: 1 / 1]
Swoosh!
As the system's voice sounded in his mind, a short blade appeared in front of Ye Chen.
The originally thick and heavy Rhino Horn had disappeared, replaced by a short sword that was half a finger thick. It emitted a cold light and there was a blood groove in the middle that was blood red.
Ye Chen picked up his short sword and dashed towards the nearest tree.
Swoosh!
A tree as thick as a Rhino's Leg was cut in half. The cut was as flat as a mirror.
"Not bad, not bad. As expected of a weapon produced by the system."
After a simple test, Ye Chen was full of praise for the short sword created by the system.
Gulp…
His stomach growled. He had been so focused on handling the Bone Blade that he had almost forgotten that he hadn't eaten yet.
Ye Chen had a thought when he saw the fallen tree and the meat.
"Sun God Envoy, light the fire! Let's have a barbecue today!"
With the Bone Blade, Ye Chen quickly cut the wood and arranged it neatly. He called out and the Immortal Phoenix chirped happily. It flapped its wings and spat out a line of fire that was full of vibrancy.
Soon, the aroma of roasted meat spread.
Chapter 6: Fighting the Bloodthirsty Eagle
Editor: Henyee Translations
"Burp… this would be even more perfect if we had a hotpot."
The human and the beast laid on the ground and burped contentedly. Ye Chen said intoxicatedly.
In particular, the stomach of the Divine Phoenix was bulging from eating a lot while it flapped its wings. It was charmingly naive and did not look like a Divine Beast at all.
"The food and self-preservation matters have been taken care of. It's time to find a place for the totem and build a home."
Otherwise, when the three days of protection were over, he would still have to eat and sleep in the open. That would be dangerous. According to the system's notification, each person could only move their homeland ten times in their lifetime.
Before it was placed, this totem could only be used as storage.
Taking out the Tribal Totem, Ye Chen stared at it. The tribe's location was of utmost importance. Regardless of whether it was the environment, soil, or geographical location, the requirements were very high.
After all, this was his home, a place that would not migrate anytime soon. Ye Chen did not know much about the vast wilderness, so he could only rely on his golden finger.
After a while, golden words appeared.
[Tribe Totem: Place a drop of blood to form a tribe.]
[Hidden prompt message: Place it now. Then, it will be destroyed by the Ancient Mammoth stomp in two days.
[Hidden prompt message: 100 miles to the East is an excellent location]
Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the golden text. As expected, his golden finger was effective on this item as well.
Ye Chen had heard of the Ancient Mammoth before. It was also known as the Mammoth Elephant. It was one of the largest elephants in the world and also one of the largest animals on land.
This information was what Ye Chen had learned on Earth. He did not know what the Ancient Mammoths of the vast wilderness looked like but they were definitely much bigger than the Earth ones.
"Sun God Envoy, 100 miles to the East, let's go." Ye Chen made a hand gesture. Just as he was about to take a step forward, the Immortal Phoenix directly blocked in front of him. It lowered its head and prostrated on the ground, emitting a pleasant cry.
"Are you trying to bring me along?" Ye Chen was stunned. Didn't they say that Divine Beasts were very arrogant and would rather die than lower their heads?
Moreover, the Immortal Phoenix was a top-notch Divine Beast and had the Fire Attribute. It should have a stronger temper. Why was this fellow different?
"Chirp… Chirp… Chirp…" The Immortal Phoenix answered Ye Chen's question with its actions.
"Haha, let's go!" Ye Chen naturally would not reject it. It was probably the first time in the wilderness that a Divine Beast had become a mount.
Previously, Ye Chen was also concerned about the pride of the Divine Beast. The thought of using the Immortal Phoenix as a mount only flashed through his mind for a moment before he threw it in the back of his mind.
"Shriek!"
After carrying Ye Chen on its back, the Immortal Phoenix let out a loud and clear cry of joy that soared into the sky. To it, Ye Chen was its master and also its family. Naturally, there was no such thing as arrogance.
As a Divine Beast, the Undying Phoenix had bloodline suppression over beasts of lower rank. Hearing its loud cry, many of the lower ranked beasts prostrated on the ground and trembled.
There were those who submitted to the grace of the Divine Phoenix. Naturally, there were also those who were unconvinced. After all, the current Divine Phoenix was still in infancy. It was considered a great source of resources for those wild beasts that had reached the complete form. Perhaps, they could reach a higher level.
Screech!
Suddenly, an intense sound came from the mountain peak not far away. A dark red shadow of a wild bird flew out from it at an extremely fast speed and headed towards Ye Chen.
The Divine Phoenix slowed down when it heard the sound. It flew lower and lower until the ground. Then, Ye Chen got down and the Divine Phoenix let out a majestic cry and soared into the sky.
At this moment, Ye Chen was also watching the dark red flying bird that flew over.
[Blood Hawk]
[Race: Vicious Beast]
[Rank: A]
[Status: Old age]
[Skill: Blood Flames, Fierce Bird Claws]
[Attack: 2100]
[Defense: 1,800]
[Weakness: A ferocious old bird with insufficient HP. Can use Fire Immunity to fight a long battle.]
"A-Rank Blood Hawk? Old age?" When he first saw the Blood Hawk, Ye Chen was really shocked. An adult, A-Rank bird was definitely not something the current Immortal Phoenix could fight against.
The growth stage of Vicious Beasts was divided into: Infant, young, mature, old age, and decline.
Once the vicious beast entered the old age, its strength would continuously decrease. Ye Chen now understood why it came out.
It was nothing more than it reaching the end of its life. But if it swallowed a Divine Beast, it might be able to make the final leap in its cultivation and increase its lifespan.
Death and decay, whether man or beast, there was nothing that did not fear these.
As a Divine Beast, the Immortal Phoenix and Ye Chen were connected through their minds. The Immortal Phoenix naturally knew the Blood Hawk's weakness.
As a Divine Beast, it naturally had its own pride. With a long cry, it spat out crimson flames at the invading Blood Hawk. This was its innate Divine Ability, Undying Divine Fire!
Seeing this, a mocking light flashed in the Blood Hawk's eyes. In its eyes, the Immortal Phoenix was still too young.
Taking advantage of the Divine Phoenix's momentum, the Blood Hawk closed in on it. At the same time, dark flames appeared in its mouth and it instantly struck the Divine Phoenix.
At the same time, it flew towards the Divine Phoenix, wanting to use its sharp claws to finish it off.
Swoosh!
Just as it was about to fly over to Ye Chen's head at a lower altitude, the short sword in his hand flew out directly and hit the fatal spot on the Blood Hawk's abdomen, piercing it instantly.
"Scryaaa…"
The Blood Hawk let out a miserable cry. Before it could react, it felt a line of fire shoot out from the location of the Immortal Phoenix.
In an instant, its entire body was ignited. After struggling for a while, it fell not far from Ye Chen.
The Divine Phoenix also flapped its wings and jumped around on his shoulder, as if it was asking for praise. "Look at how strong I am."
Ye Chen stroked the Divine Phoenix's feathers and smiled as he looked at the burnt body of the Blood Hawk. Playing with fire in front of the Divine Phoenix was like playing with its own life.
It had never used its Fire Immunity talent as a trump card. Otherwise, Ye Chen would not have let the Divine Phoenix squander its Spiritual Power.
"Oh? There's a treasure chest!"
Seeing the Blood Hawk's body emitting a faint glow, Ye Chen was naturally familiar with this scene and knew what was about to happen. This was the scene of a treasure chest drop.
"I wonder what the A-Rank vicious beast will drop."
Ye Chen could not suppress the joy in his heart. He quickly walked to the side of the Blood Hawk's body and stared at the ball of light.
[Safe Bronze Treasure Chest: Water, seeds, two blueprints.]
Compared to the Wooden Treasure Chest from before, this Bronze Treasure Chest was obviously of a higher grade. There was even an additional blueprint.
The Bone Blade was an important part of the battle just now. Ye Chen could not help but look forward to the blueprints.
After Ye Chen opened the treasure chest, four items appeared before him…
