The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 797 - 325: Cemetery Area

"Boom——"

The Sky Hammer Armored Shark heavily crashed onto the ground, its steaming hot flesh gradually becoming cold.

It probably couldn’t imagine that after being fierce all its life, it would exit the stage in such a way.

"Splash~~ Splash~~"

Within the dark Nether Water, the rippling waves slowly calmed.

When the water’s surface became as smooth as a mirror, the proud and chest-puffed Chimera cub was clawing at the shark’s belly, eagerly gnawing on the flesh.

Of course, the Goat Head was indifferent, and the Lion Head paid no attention.

Only the Snake Head was voraciously eating, each bite tearing off a large chunk of flesh, unconcerned with the presence of bones, impatiently gulping down its meal as if a starving ghost had been reborn.

"Light to moderate injuries... fast recovery?"

Ye Hanjun examined the Chimera cub’s injuries. The wounds, which seemed to be a mangled mess of flesh, were in fact already being covered by a rich life force.

As the blood circulated, new flesh grew, and scars formed clumps, revealing the formidable physique of the peak wild beast.

"Unfortunately, the impregnable hundred-layered steel armor seems to have had its structural integrity destroyed by the Absolute String."

"Otherwise, if it were made into a few sets of Armor, or used for steel forging and gold refining, it would be an exceptionally fine material."

Goose Immortal muttered, slowly approaching the corpse of the Sky Hammer Armored Shark from the flank.

A tap with its metallic wings, a mere touch, and the steel armor shattered, losing all its miraculous properties.

"No worries, no worries. The whole body of the big shark is a treasure. Missing one or two pieces doesn’t hurt, it’s fine!"

GuaGua suddenly transformed into the likeness of Goose Immortal, using its wings as a cleaver, chopping directly at the neck of the Sky Hammer Armored Shark.

It tried hard for a while but couldn’t figure out the technique.

The drowsy Lion Head couldn’t stand seeing it struggle so much and casually slapped at it, causing the shark’s head to roll away.

"Yay! Big tadpole, we’ve obtained the skull of the Fish King!"

"One more essential condition for leaving this place has been satisfied!"

The counterfeit Goose Immortal hugged the shark’s head, treating it like an irregular ball, heartlessly giggling.

Remembering there might still be treasures inside the shark’s belly, it quickly tossed the shark’s head to Ye Hanjun and then reverted to its true form, sidling up next to the Goat Head to watch the Snake Head feast.

"One bite after another, She Xiaoxiong is eating so quickly, its belly is getting all swollen."

"In a blink of an eye, one-tenth of the corpse is eaten. What a big appetite!"

GuaGua showed an astonished little expression, then immediately patted its flat belly, the only comparison it could make was to when it gurgled water taking a bath, puffing its belly like a little mound.

"Hiss..."

The Snake Head didn’t care about the many heads watching it, focusing solely on feeding.

Ye Hanjun didn’t bother it and, following the wound on the other side of the carcass, enlisted the help of Goose Immortal to scavenge.

"Drip-drop..."

After a bit of tinkering, a Treasure Bead larger than one meter in diameter rolled out, enveloped in ice blue, with damp mist swirling around it, leaving wet rolling marks on the touched surfaces.

"Such a big Water-Repelling Pearl?" Ye Hanjun was stunned.

He tried to lift the bead and to his surprise, found it to be Lightness, lacking any significant weight.

With a thought, he walked towards the dike.

Sure enough, the calm Nether Water began to churn again, slowly parting to both sides.

But the separation wasn’t complete. An ancient Principle suppressed the area, the Nether Water remained fierce and dangerous, without any special passage for walking.

"Not suitable for use here?"

Ye Hanjun realized and quickly stowed away the Water-Repelling Pearl.

If this bead were in other waters, it would easily divide the waves, allowing unfettered passage within a hundred meters.

If it’s not suitable here, then so be it. After all, the Fish King’s skull had been obtained, and escaping was only a few steps away.

"Human Master, what is this?"

After much digging, Goose Immortal pulled out an odd water grass from the intestines.

Ye Hanjun looked closely, the grass resembling neither snake nor dragon, though somewhat like a hornless, clawless golden dragon.

If not for an iron feather pinning it down forcefully, who knows, once released, it might soar into the sky in an instant and escape.

"Is this... Dragon Chant Grass?"

Ye Hanjun listened intently and actually heard a faint Dragon Chant, penetrating his eardrums and straight into his soul.

His usually calm face suddenly flushed with a hint of red, his eyes became deep and spirited, as though he had taken an All-Round Supplement Elixir.

"Five... six... seven... eight... nine... Nine roots, this is Dragon Chant Grass of over nine thousand years, infinitely close to a ten-thousand-year-grade Medicine!"

"What use does it have?"

Goose Immortal glanced with a side-eye, initially somewhat nonchalant.

"See the seeds on it? This grass bears seeds once every thousand years, and each seed grants dragon-level blood vitality enhancement."

"You are at Great Completion. Each time you take a seed, you’ll gain a fighting strength not inferior to Heaven and Earth Perfection for a short period."

"It’s the same for the Chimera cub. With its constitution, it can withstand taking three seeds at once, thereby gaining the possibility to fight above its level... Such a medicine is undoubtedly one of the most lacking supplies for us at the moment!"

"Sounds pretty good."

Goose Immortal adjusted its attitude and reevaluated the grass that required it to squint to see clearly.

"Let’s rest briefly. Once the Snake Head is full, we head home."

Ye Hanjun once again took charge of Aegifura, asking Huazhu to assist as a backup in helping to dissect the carcass of the Sky Hammer Armored Shark.

This body indeed was a treasure all over; just the remaining blood and chunks of flesh could serve as high-quality food, driving the growth and development of the Chimera cub.
