109: Chapter 110 Eating and Taking!

The darkness receded, and the pressure dissipated.

The feeling of surviving a catastrophe shrouded everyone.

The new recruits collapsed to the ground like fish out of water, gasping for air.

Platoon Leader Sun Hu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his gaze toward Xia Youchu having completely changed.

General Qin Feng and Lieutenant General Zhao Weiguo exchanged a glance, both seeing the lingering fear in each other's eyes.

"About what just happened..."

General Qin Feng took a deep breath, his voice low. "Everyone, swear a Soul oath! It is strictly forbidden to spread this outside! Especially regarding... that existence, and any words spoken by Xia Youchu!"

His gaze was sharp as a blade, sweeping over every recruit before finally landing on Platoon Leader Sun Hu.

"Platoon Leader Sun, you are to supervise this! If a single word leaks, you will be dealt with by military law, and your Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!"

This concerned the life-and-death prophecy of a Demon Emperor and involved a terrifying existence like the Corpse Raiser. If leaked, it would surely trigger a monstrous storm!

It might even trigger an all-out war between the Human Race and the Peng Clan prematurely! The consequences would be unimaginable!

"Yes! General!"

Platoon Leader Sun Hu shuddered, immediately standing straight and accepting the order solemnly.

The other recruits also reacted, struggling to stand up and swearing an oath by their Souls to keep the secret strictly.

For a moment, the faint fluctuations of Soul oaths rippled through the crowd.

Xia Youchu watched this scene, her expression calm.

She had long expected General Qin Feng to do this.

This was the prudent approach.

Just as everyone thought the matter was over and was preparing to leave this place of right and wrong immediately,

Xia Youchu made a move that made everyone's jaws almost drop to the ground.

Instead of leaving immediately, she took a step forward and spoke again toward the seemingly empty Void Realm, her tone natural.

"Fellow Daoist, since the deal is reached, you and I are now partners. Look... you still have a few true dragon bones in this Corpse Raising Ground. They are just buried there anyway; why not do us a favor and gift them all to us?"

She paused, patted Ling Tian beside her, and added.

"My partner here has a rather large appetite. That one dragon bone from just now barely filled the gaps between his teeth; it really wasn't satisfying."

Huh??

No, why is she eating and taking at the same time?

A few recruits with slightly weaker mental fortitude couldn't catch their breath and almost fainted.

Platoon Leader Sun Hu's eyes were wide as saucers, his mouth open wide enough to fit a fist.

General Qin Feng and Lieutenant General Zhao Weiguo swayed, almost falling from mid-air!

My goodness!

Are you really not afraid of death?!

Just escaped from the tiger's mouth and saved your life, and now you're eyeing their inventory again?!

And saying one isn't enough to eat, only enough to fill the gaps in his teeth?!

Those are true dragon bones!

Each one is priceless, enough to make a Yuan Emperor break their head over it!

You aren't just pushing your luck; you're trying to snap their ruler and take it away!

Everyone held their breath, their hearts in their throats, fearing that the terrifying darkness would descend again and slap this audacious girl into meat paste.

Even Ling Tian was stunned for a moment, his massive dragon head tilting to look at Xia Youchu.

Poop-scooper, you really have a lot of guts!

Will this work?

However, he hoped it would!

true dragon bones, the more the better!

In the Void Realm, there was silence.

It was as if even the air had frozen.

Just when General Qin Feng could almost not help but take action to drag Xia Youchu away by force,

"Heh..."

A light laugh with an ambiguous meaning rang out abruptly.

"This Seat is becoming increasingly curious about where your confidence comes from."

Xia Youchu's expression did not change, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She had bet correctly.

Because she had reached that Realm before, she knew the way of thinking of those in that Realm.

For a powerhouse like the Corpse Raiser who stood at the top of the Universe, momentary gains or losses were actually not important.

What they truly cared about was the Dao, transcendence, and Opportunities that could provide substantive benefits to them.

A few true dragon bones were certainly precious, but to him, they might really just be one of the Materials piled up in the warehouse.

More importantly, in the other party's eyes, she and Ling Tian could not escape.

One year later, if they could not produce the Demon Emperor's corpse, the consequences could be imagined.

Since that was the case, what did it matter to pay a little sweetness in advance?

"It is not that I have big guts, I just believe in Fellow Daoist's vision and magnanimity."

Xia Youchu's tone remained flat. "After all, if a partner's strength is a bit stronger, the certainty of completing the agreement is also greater, which is also a good thing for you, Fellow Daoist."

"Hahaha..."

The Corpse Raiser let out a low laugh. One could not tell if there was joy or anger in that laughter, but it made the space tremble slightly.

"Good!"

"This Seat will grant your wish!"

As the voice fell, there was no movement.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three incomparably massive, complete True Dragon remains, exuding brilliant Dragon Aura, with bones crystalline like jade and faint golden light flowing on the surface, appeared out of thin air and slammed heavily onto the open space in front of Xia Youchu!

The earth trembled because of it!

The majestic Dragon Clan Origin Qi permeated the area, causing everyone's blood to accelerate uncontrollably!

These three true dragon bones were each more complete than the one Ling Tian had gnawed on earlier, and the Dragon Aura was even denser!

Clearly, the quality was higher!

"These three little trinkets are gifted to you."

The Corpse Raiser's voice carried a hint of casualness. "I hope that in a year, you can bring this Seat a real surprise."

The voice gradually dissipated, and those two points of crimson also faded into the Void Realm.

At the scene, only three mountain-like True Dragon remains and a group of completely petrified people remained.

He really gave them?!

And he gave three at once?!

Three of even higher quality?!

Platoon Leader Sun Hu and the new recruits looked at those three dragon bones, feeling their worldview collapsing and reorganizing.

General Qin Feng and Lieutenant General Zhao Weiguo's mouths twitched, not knowing what expression to use to face all this.

The working style of this Corpse Raiser Senior is truly hard to fathom!

But Xia Youchu really has guts; she dared to ask for benefits in this situation. If it were them, they would have run to the ends of the earth!

Xia Youchu looked at the three true dragon bones in front of her, and a hint of satisfaction finally flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She turned and said to the crowd, "This place is not suitable for staying long; we need to leave as soon as possible."

The crowd finally woke up as if from a dream and nodded hurriedly.

Now, let alone staying, even letting them stay for one more second made their legs feel weak!

Xia Youchu stepped forward, waved her sleeve, and put two of the true dragon bones into her Storage Pouch.

Then, she looked at Ling Tian.

Ling Tian understood, his huge claws grabbing the remaining, largest true dragon bone, and he slung it onto his broad back like a sack.

"Let's go!"

The group no longer delayed and sped toward the entrance of the Secret Realm as fast as they could.

This time, the return journey was exceptionally smooth, and they did not encounter any obstacles again.

Soon, the familiar exit light curtain appeared before their eyes.

Passing through the light curtain and breathing the outside air with a slight smell of gunpowder again, everyone felt as if they had lived a lifetime.

...

Outside the Star-Shattering Gorge, at the temporary camp.

When General Qin Feng and Lieutenant General Zhao Weiguo appeared with Xia Youchu, Ling Tian, and a group of recruits who were disheveled but had clearly stronger Auras, the logistics personnel and officers who had been waiting for a long time swarmed up.

"General! You are finally out!"

"How is the situation inside? Are the losses heavy?"

When everyone saw the massive dragon bone exuding terrifying Dragon Aura on Ling Tian's back, they instantly fell into a stupor.

"This... this is..."

"Dragon Aura?! Could it be... true dragon bone?!"

"Heavens! They actually brought out a true dragon bone from the Secret Realm?!"

Exclamations rang out one after another.

General Qin Feng waved his hand, suppressing the commotion at the scene, and said in a deep voice, "The Secret Realm exploration is over. The harvest is acceptable. Specific details are classified as military secrets; no inquiries are allowed, and no spreading is allowed!"

His majestic gaze swept over the crowd, and the Aura of the Peak Yuanhuang Rank was released slightly, immediately making everyone silent with fear.

"Yes! General!"

Although they were curious like cats scratching in their hearts, no one dared to disobey the order.

Xia Youchu and Ling Tian were arranged into the best quiet room in the military camp.

Closing the door, they set up a soundproofing barrier.

Xia Youchu took out the other two true dragon bones as well.

The three huge dragon skeletons almost filled the spacious quiet room, and the rich Dragon Yuan Qi was almost about to materialize.

"How shall we distribute these three dragon bones?" Xia Youchu looked at Ling Tian.

Ling Tian's huge claws patted the one he carried back. "This one is mine, no problem, right?"

He had sensed it just now; this dragon bone contained the most robust Dragon Clan Origin.

"Fine."

Xia Youchu nodded and pointed to the other two. "For these two, I will use the 'Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art' to swallow one to improve my cultivation and Physical Body. As for the other..."

She paused and still said, "Send it back to the True Dragon Ruins and put it into the Dragon Transformation Pool."

Hearing this, a flash of understanding passed through Ling Tian's eyes.

That True Dragon Will in the True Dragon Ruins, although a bit long-winded, had indeed helped them a lot.

Since they had already promised to help the other party find dragon remains to bring back, this could be considered repaying a bit of Karma.

Moreover, replenishing the power of the Dragon Transformation Pool might be beneficial to him in the future.

"Okay, listen to you." Ling Tian had no objections.

"No time to lose, let's start refining immediately."

Xia Youchu sat cross-legged, pressed her hands on one of the dragon bones, and the 'Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art' was fully activated!

The pitch-black swallowing vortex reappeared, crazily absorbing the pure Dragon Yuan in the dragon bone!

Her Aura began to climb at a speed visible to the naked eye!

After reaching a certain critical node, Xia Youchu looked at Ling Tian.

Ling Tian understood immediately and stretched out a hand.

Buzz buzz!!

Pure Destructive Yuan Power appeared and poured into Xia Youchu's body continuously!

The barrier of the Peak Yuan Spirit Nine-Star was broken through instantly!

Yuan King One-Star!

And the momentum did not decrease, continuing to impact upwards!

Seeing that Xia Youchu had successfully broken through, Ling Tian also lay down beside his dragon bone, opened his blood-red mouth, and started his gluttonous feast!

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
