章節 235: Chapter 233 Earned a Fortune_1
Don't even mention it, the meat from this million-year soul beast was really delicious.
Just a small bite filled his mouth with a rich meaty flavor, fragrant and intense yet not at all greasy.
The Ice Silkworm meat wasn't fatty; even if you ate hundreds of pounds in one go, you definitely wouldn't get tired of it.
Of course, you'd have to consider whether your body could handle such a massive amount of energy. At least when Xu Ran took just a small bite of the Ice Silkworm meat, he felt an invigorating spirit and an indescribable sense of strength throughout his body.
The Skydream Ice Silkworm, a million-year soul beast, consuming too much at once is no good for the body.
For Xu Ran, the fact that Ice Silkworm meat could also help enhance the longevity of his soul beasts was completely unexpected. He had believed that only Skill Points could increase a soul beast's "Cultivation Level." It seems that is not the case.
Now he was like a soul beast himself, possessing the same methods of strength enhancement as other soul beasts. Skill Points were just a more convenient way to accelerate the improvement of one's "Cultivation Level." His current "Cultivation Level" was three thousand three hundred one years. Just one bite of the Ice Silkworm meat had increased it by a year.
If he kept eating, would his age keep increasing?
Xu Ran thought for a moment, his eyes locked on the massive Ice Silkworm in front of him, and he couldn't help but swallow.
Low in attack power, yet so nutritious, this truly is a treasure trove!
No wonder the Skydream Ice Silkworm, being chased from the far northern lands all the way to the Aquipeia Forest. A million-year soul beast with such weak attack power, rich nutrition, and enormous energy, who wouldn't love one?
The fate of the Skydream Ice Silkworm would be the same wherever it went.
In the far northern lands there were the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, in the Aquipeia Forest there was Di Tian and many ferocious beasts, in the Deep Sea there was the Deepsea Devil Whale King and the killer whale king. If it left the soul beast world for the human world, the commotion caused by its million-year Soul Ring would be even greater, and its death even more tragic.
"Lord Auspicious Beast?" The Skydream Ice Silkworm was frightened by the sudden ferocity in Xu Ran's eyes, giving it a shiver that ran down its spine.
It suddenly had an ominous premonition. Why did it feel like Lord Auspicious Beast looked even more brutal than Di Tian and those ferocious beasts?
This...
Seeing Xu Ran chewing on Ice Silkworm meat with big bites, the Skydream Ice Silkworm trembled with fear.
If even the newly arrived Lord Auspicious Beast was so brutal, what was it supposed to do?
Would it not be able to survive then?
"Hmm? Right, what did you just say? I didn't quite catch it."
As Xu Ran chewed on the Ice Silkworm meat with big bites, he didn't forget to sprinkle some spices on it to enhance the flavor and make the flesh even more succulent and delicious.
"Nothing. I was just expressing my reverence for Lord Auspicious Beast. Lord Auspicious Beast, you have an impressive aura and an extraordinary presence. My admiration towards you is like the endless flowing of a river..." said the Skydream Ice Silkworm, noticing the unreliability of Lord Auspicious Beast, who was eating the meat more deliciously than anyone else, and it dared not harbor the thought of complaining to him.
What if, once it complained, Lord Auspicious Beast learned from it, wouldn't it be even worse off?
"Your situation, I've come to understand it roughly. As the only million-year soul beast currently in our Soul Beast Clan, your life must not be threatened in any way," said Xu Ran solemnly, his gaze shifting toward the other ferocious beasts.
The ferocious beasts, upon seeing this, bowed their heads in shame.
Indeed, the Skydream Ice Silkworm was the only soul beast among the Soul Beast Clan whose "Cultivation Level" had reached a million years. Although not strong in combat, its spiritual power and other attributes were quite remarkable.
But they had been trying to increase their own "Cultivation Level" by devouring the energy of the Skydream Ice Silkworm.
The nobility of Auspicious Beast made them feel ashamed.
"So, Lord Auspicious Beast, you..." The Skydream Ice Silkworm's expression became excited, as if it saw a glimmer of hope for life. If Lord Auspicious Beast protected it, even Di Tian would not dare to object.
Auspicious Beast, the Soul Beast Emperor, even Di Tian would not defy the decisions of Lord Auspicious Beast.
"Tian Meng, if I let you leave the Aquipeia Forest, where would you go?" Xu Ran asked, looking at the Skydream Ice Silkworm.
"This…" The Skydream Ice Silkworm hesitated, with its constitution as a moving treasury, going anywhere would end with it being eaten, being hunted… The far northern lands have the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, the Deep Sea has the Devil Whale King, and not to mention the human world, where the exposure of a million-year Soul Ring is enough to drive all Soul Masters insane…
"In the far northern lands, the Ice Silkworm Clan is naturally the food of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan. As the Ice Emperor of the Ice Wall Emperor Scorpions, you should be very clear about how he would treat you. That soul beast in the Deep Sea, with one foot already in that realm, might completely step into it by devouring you, and he would be even more brutal in dealing with you. Therefore, in the Aquipeia Forest, you are the safest." Xu Ran said, trying his best to reassure the Skydream Ice Silkworm.
"Right now in the Aquipeia Forest, although you might suffer a bit, I can assure you that your life will not be threatened. Though Di Tian and the others consume your energy, they won't endanger your life," Xu Ran said.
"Exactly, exactly, that's what we meant too," the Red King and other ferocious beasts chimed in upon hearing this.
"Uh…" The golden eyes of the Skydream Ice Silkworm blinked.
This reasoning seemed to make sense.
Of course, why did it feel something was off?
The expressions on their faces when they were eating its flesh just now were not so gentle…
...
"I know you're suffering now, but once I become a deity, you will be the foremost emperor of the far northern lands," Xu Ran said, communicating with the Skydream Ice Silkworm through spiritual power.
"The foremost emperor of the far northern lands?" The Skydream Ice Silkworm's spirit was greatly lifted. An emperor sounded much more impressive than a mere king. It knew the Auspicious Beast had excellent potential and also possessed a human body. If nothing went wrong, it was destined to become a deity. With such support, couldn't it be very impressive?
By that time, wouldn't the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor have to submit to it?
The Ice Emperor, wanting to devour it now, but if it were to serve under it, wouldn't that be delightful?
And about the Snow Emperor, it couldn't help but have a bold idea.
"Silk, skin, flesh, I need a bit of each…" Xu Ran tempted, knowing that the Skydream Ice Silkworm's only wish was to beat up the Ice Emperor thoroughly and to proudly mount the Ice Emperor as a man should.
But how could Xu Ran let it have its way?
At most, he could carry a few hundred pounds of silkworm flesh to the far northern lands, then, together with the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, cook a hotpot or a dry pot, and eat together. That was the proper way to handle the Ice Silkworm.
In the name of the Auspicious Beast, being flanked by the Ice Emperor on the left and the Snow Emperor on the right, the three of them huddled together in the freezing environment of the far northern lands, enjoying a pot of aromatic and steaming hot silkworm meat hotpot—this image intoxicated Xu Ran to the point of reverie.
"Deal." After mulling over Xu Ran's proposal for a moment, the Skydream Ice Silkworm gritted its teeth and nodded in agreement.
When an Auspicious Beast gives its word, it's as solid as a pound of gold.
The Auspicious Beast would never deceive it. With that in mind, all it had to do was endure this period of suffering. Once it was over, it could lead a happy life.
As for the silkworm flesh, even if it didn't agree, Xu Ran could forcefully take it. The silkworm skin, that was even more terrifying as it meant being skinned alive. But as for the silk, as a million-year soul beast, it wouldn't produce any silk unless it did so willingly, and Xu Ran actually couldn't acquire it otherwise.
Besides, it didn't have the power to bargain with an Auspicious Beast. If it didn't agree with the Auspicious Beast, the Auspicious Beast could directly attack it, and after a round of assault, it might simply perish.
Calculating the time, it was also almost time for it to molt. With a bit of extra effort, it could produce a fair amount of silk…
As for the flesh, it would have to grit its teeth, reduce its activity, and apply some highly restorative herbs to cut off a few dozen pounds…
If all this could please the Auspicious Beast, make it satisfied, and allow it to return to the far northern lands as a majestic ruler, then it wouldn't be at a loss.
Not just without loss, but it would actually profit.
The flesh, once cut off, could grow back, and as the boss of the far northern lands, it could enjoy the service of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor. Opportunities like that didn't come often.
