BXBX NOVEL Chapter 132 - 101: Spoils of War! “Orc Ritual Study Notes”!
“Heart of the Earth!”
Zheng Cheng exclaimed, “Wasn’t it used as bait, how did you…”
Cai Shen answered, “I flew by and saw in halfway. That giant python soul beast was all wounded and its soul power was about to collapse, so I quickly took the Heart of the Earth from its mouth.”
“This thing is a six-star gem, I would be heartbroken if we lost it.”
Zheng Cheng took it and put it into his personal ring, “Thanks, I was planning to give it to Chen Xiao.”
“Brother Xiao?”
Cai Shen scratched his head and said, “Brother Cheng, you really want to give it to that guy?”
“We are all brothers, there’s nothing to fuss about.”
Zheng Cheng casually replied, “We talked about this before. If we prosper, let’s congratulate each other, haha…”
“If we prosper, let’s congratulate each other…”
Cai Shen’s eyes brightened, he nodded vigorously and said, “I got it, Brother Cheng!”
The group continued forward, with Zheng Cheng leading at the front.
Using the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique as a detection method, they were able to sense any living creature within a radius of five hundred meters.
Their main goal was to avoid combat as much as possible. They would only choose to fight if the path indicated by the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique could not be bypassed.
Along the way, they left many half-beastman teams behind and quickly approached the entrance of the secret realm.
Finally, they managed to shake off a substantial number of half-beastmen and were gradually nearing the location where they killed the elderly half-beastman.
Once they got there, it would mean they are relatively safe.
“There are no enemies within a five hundred meter radius, let’s rest for ten minutes!”
“Okay!”
Everybody agreed without objection. After all, there were quite a few injured among the group.
Especially Bai Jingqi, who was currently unconscious and severely wounded, with a pale face.
Everyone found a spot to rest, while Zheng Cheng came to check on a few soul beasts.
Song Zhaoyu came over, “Zheng Cheng, why are you always observing my soul beast?”
Zheng Cheng said, “Your soul beast is a spirit form, in theory, it should be immune to physical attacks, right?”
“Yeah.”
Song Zhaoyu nodded, “Didn’t you see that when in this secret realm, those half-beastmen couldn’t hurt my soul beast at all when they hit it?”
“If I had some time and experience, as long as I could dodge that half-beastman priest, I could even wipe out the entire secret realm alone!”
Zheng Cheng shook his head, “What about your Fishman Boss soul beast?”
“It’s still there…”
She beckoned, and the Fishman Boss soul beast slowly drifted over from a distance.
The next second, Song Zhaoyu’s eyes widened, “Eh, why has my Fishman Boss soul beast lost so much soul power?”
Zheng Cheng said, “When we were attacking the half-beastman priest, your Fishman Boss soul beast was scattered by a single strike from a cave troll.”
“What?”
Song Zhaoyu incredulously said, “Zheng Cheng, could it be that your eyes are playing tricks on you? How could a soul beast be hit by a physical attack and even be scattered?”
“I saw it too.” Qin Zheng came over and said, “Zheng Cheng didn’t see it wrong. That cave troll was likely augmented with a berserk aura, agility aura, or other auras capable of harming spirit forms, which could hurt the soul form.”
“For instance, Sacrificial War Song!”
Song Zhaoyu was puzzled, “Sacrificial War Song?”
Qin Zheng explained, “The Sacrificial War Song is a high-level Glorious War Song that only beastman priests with a scepter or above can master.”
“After using it, the warrior beastmen are wrapped in Sacrificial Fire, which makes them immune to all low-level magic and strongly resistant to mid-level magic.”
“In addition, once they have the Sacrificial Fire, their physical attacks will harm spirit forms.”
“On the battlefield, the beastman formation with a scepter priest is nearly invincible.”
“You mean to say that cave troll was under the Sacrificial Aura released by the scepter priest?” Zheng Cheng was surprised, “How could that be possible?”
“That…”
Qin Zheng hesitated for a moment, “It might be possible. Wasn’t that priest using a Dull Aura before?”
“That war song is also a high-level war song, which can only be used by priests with a scepter or above.”
Li Zhen came over and said, “The likelihood is it was a War Song Scroll, or just pure power.”
“While soul power is immune to physical attacks, it can’t resist true power.”
“I heard from the tribal priest that pure power is also a kind of elemental power, or rule power.”
“Have you read web novels…”
“Read a lot.”
“I’ve read some too.”
Zheng Cheng, with a somewhat strange look on his face, nodded, “I’ve read quite a few. Especially one called ‘I am a Priest, Urgent Gastroenteritis Outbreak Technique. What the Heck?’ which is very similar to my situation.”
“That’s it.”
Li Zhen said, “Since you’ve read web novels, you should have heard terms like ‘sword shattering the void’, ‘fist shattering the void’, and ‘proving the way with power’, right?”
“The so-called sword-breaking and fist-breaking are actually manifestations of a powerful, pure force.”
“As long as a strong force is released in a very short time, it can break space and create a spacetime rift or spatial passage.”
“If space can be broken, let alone a small spirit form.”
“Is this how it is?” Everyone looked a bit doubtful, but they couldn’t find a suitable reason to refute Li Zhen.
“Maybe that’s it.”
“Truly worthy of being from the Li family.”
“Time’s up, let’s go!”
Zheng Cheng suddenly said, “Quite a few half-beastmen have caught up.”
Everyone got up and continued their journey.
This time, Qin Zheng took the lead, with Zheng Cheng covering the rear, occasionally giving directions.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zheng Cheng started to check the spoils of war they obtained from killing the half-beastman priest.
A wolf tooth necklace hanging around his neck.
A ring worn on his left ring finger.
And the pouch tightly wrapped around his waist!
[Name: Gale Wolf Tooth Necklace]
[Durability: 1880/3500]
[Type: Necklace/Jewelry]
[Grade: Bronze]
[Equipment Requirements: LV10, Constitution 20 point, Mentality 20 point, limited to magic casters, ceremonialist, sorcerers and other professionists to equip.]
[Effect: Mentality+8]
[Attached Skill 1: Meditation (Passive), after equipping, mentality recovery speed+10%.]
[Attached Skill 2: Lightning Fast (Passive), after equipping, casting speed+10%.]
[Description: Forged by the Swift Wind tribe’s Wolf Leader Tooth, it contains their secret of extremely fast casting.]
“A necklace that enhances mentality recovery speed and casting speed?”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes brightened slightly.
This necklace is undoubtedly suitable for him.
In addition, there was also an antique-looking ring.
“A spatial ring?” he exclaimed in surprise, “A half-beastman ceremonialist actually has a spatial ring, this is pretty rich!”
Zheng Cheng hurriedly probed this ring, but he found it can’t be opened at all.
“There’s a special restriction, and this ring… huh?”
He suddenly found that on the face of this ring, a pattern was carved.
Or should we say… a character?
“This is… Bai (white in Chinese)?”
Zheng Cheng’s mind turned quickly and he soon thought of something: “Bai Jingsheng’s spatial ring!”
As he fondled this ring, Zheng Cheng’s brows furrowed slightly.
Should he keep it, or return it to the Bai Family?
After all, Bai Jingsheng is a direct descendant of the Bai family in Chang’an City, and he is also a seven-star level talismanist in his profession.
Among the entire Bai Family, he is considered to have quite a lot of nurturing value.
Unexpectedly, he died in this secret realm this time.
And there must be a lot of good stuff in his space ring.
“Bai Jingsheng, Bai Jingqi… the Bai family of Chang’an City…”
Zheng Cheng quickly made a decision.
Return it to the Bai family!
After all, this ring is not his own.
Even if he killed the BOSS and captured it as a trophy.
But after all, it’s… a comrade’s relic.
He couldn’t do such a thing as greedily taking a fallen comrade’s relic.
“Return it to Bai Jingqi after leaving the secret realm.”
Temporarily putting away this spatial ring, Zheng Cheng then turned his attention to a leather pouch that was snatched from the waist of the half-beastman ceremonialist.
“This pouch, it should be the half-beastman ceremonialist’s stuff, I wonder what good stuff is inside…”
Quickly untying it, he found that there were two bottles inside, both filled with a viscous liquid.
“Is this… voodoo? ”
Zheng Cheng quickly obtained the specific properties of the liquid inside these two bottles.
[Name: Blood Thorn Poison]
[Grade: Three-star]
[Effect: After attacking, it can invade the human body at the fastest speed, causing the target’s blood to fester and decay in a very short time, causing effects such as chills, high fever, rapid breathing, rapid heart rate, loss of mobility, etc. Can be applied on weapons, or added to water.]
[Description: Made from a special plant called Blood Thorn grown in their own territory by the half-beastman tribe, it is one of the most basic poisons used by voodoo professionists.]
Three bottles of poison, each containing Blood Thorn Poison.
“A poison that directly attacks the blood…septicemia?”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed, and he thought of the poisoned fish in the river.
It should be caused by this Blood Thorn poison.
“These poisons could be useful, let’s keep them.”
Then, he looked at the other two trophies.
A black wooden stick, and a beastskin scroll rolled up together.
“What is this thing?”
Zheng Cheng picked up the wooden stick, his eyes quickly brightening.
“Hmm? A war song scroll of a beastman ceremonialist? How did this come about?”
[Item: War Song Scroll]
[Skill: Skybound War Song]
[Effect: Causes the air in a certain area to stop flowing, causing creatures that fly by using wings or air flow to fall from the sky, causing an air disaster and can’t fly within a short time.]
[Description: A special scroll crafted by carving beast blood on specially made wood, it’s a unique crafting technique by the beastman ceremonialists.]
“Skybound War Song?”
Zheng Cheng’s tone was somewhat peculiar: “A war song that makes the air stop flowing, the beastman ceremonialist’s war song is really peculiar.”
“According to what Li Zhen said, the half-beastman ceremonialist we’re dealing with is just a novice ceremonialist, and won’t be able to use a high-level skill like the Dull War Song.”
“It seems that the Dull War Song she released earlier was probably cast through this type of war song scroll.”
Zheng Cheng took it and put it away: “Skybound War Song is of no use to us, otherwise she would have used it already.”
His gaze turned to the final item.
[Item: Novice Beastman Ceremonialist Study Notes]
[Effect: You can study this notebook to have a chance to learn one or more of the three low-level War Songs: Berserk War Song, Agility War Song, Stone Skin War Song.]
[Description: This is the record of the half-beastman tribe’s talented girl, Star Sand, learning War Songs under Beastman Empire Ceremonialist, House Clan Horseman Wand Ceremonialist Jerald. It also includes the girl’s daily learning and living records.]
Zheng Cheng’s eyes again brightened: “A ceremonialist’s study notebook? A chance to learn three low-level war songs?”
“For me, this is really the best trophy!”
“I can learn three skills…”
Zheng Cheng hurriedly opened the Beastman Ceremonialist’s Study Notebook, and lines of messy but delicate handwriting appeared before his eyes.
He blinked and then closed the notebook with a poker face.
“Damn… Beastman language!”
