Chapter 665: The Saintly Phantom and the Bone Wyrm!
Chapter 665: The Saintly Phantom and the Bone Wyrm!
Hunting.
That was the name of the game.
But in reality, it was the promotion requirement that Little Fire had mentioned earlier.
Among the four flames, the Soul Fire required refining a Soul Fire from a Saintly Phantom-type existence of the Holy Spirit Level.
Previously, Su Ping had only thought that the Soul Furnace in the Northland possessed such a thing.
So, he had already mentioned it to Cold Grandpa, asking him to wait for the right time to make a trip.
Sitting in the cabin of the Liekong, Su Ping chuckled.
"Sorry to trouble you with this trip."
Cold Grandpa maintained his handsome appearance, his ageless face granted by the Jade Bodhi, making him look no older than twenty-something, like a brother to Su Ping.
Cold Grandpa sat there nonchalantly.
"Your Jiao Long hasn't been repaired yet? If it's really not working, just ask Saint Dragon for a new aircraft. It's too much trouble."
Su Ping didn't seem to mind at all.
"Long Er is working on it. She's an expert in this field, and I quite like the Jiao Long. Forget it! Why did you come to pick me up personally? Why not send Brother Xing instead?"
Cold Grandpa yawned.
"Ever since you resolved the Phantom Tide in the Northland, I've been so bored that I'm dying of idleness. I've been thinking of moving, so I figured I'd come and pick you up myself. I wanted to chat with you earlier, kid. Is that Golden Patriarch really that amazing?"
Su Ping propped his chin and thought for a moment.
"He's a Legend Tier existence, so naturally, he has some tricks up his sleeve. Moreover, I always feel that he has a big secret, but I don't know what Saint Dragon is thinking."
Obviously, Cold Grandpa was just making small talk and didn't seem too interested in the topic. After a pause, he continued,
"So, for this hunting trip to the North, do you have any preparations?"
"Preparations?"
Su Ping gave him a suspicious look. He could sense the Bone Throne in the Soul Furnace and, although he didn't have complete control over the North, he was somewhat familiar with the situation there.
The Bone Throne could continuously convert Yin energy and generate Phantom-type pets. Charles had mentioned that this thing was an invaluable resource, on par with Legend Tier resources.
Its value was beyond imagination.
Su Ping's experience had proven this. Although Tianmu still existed, the Death Blade was gone, and the Soul Furnace could no longer replenish the Death Blade with the souls of the dead. However, because of this, a large number of Phantom-type pets could be generated more quickly.
Phantom-type pets would not only continue to exist in that land but would also become more and more numerous in the future.
However, they would no longer be driven by the innate instincts of the Death Blade and would not actively attack the North. Simultaneously, those higher-level Phantom-type existences, such as Saintly Phantom-level monsters, would regain most of their wisdom and naturally not provoke anyone without reason.
But clearly, Su Ping was overthinking it. Cold Grandpa smiled.
"Of course, it's a competition! You cut down a Saintly Phantom in the Cherry Land. I'm itching for a fight. Since those things have fled the Northland, why don't we have a little competition to see who can take them down faster?"
Su Ping shrugged. "I'm not interested."
Cold Grandpa was taken aback. "Huh?"
"There's no suspense, and I'm not going to have my pet go all out. I don't want to bully you! Besides, I'm not really going just for the hunt. I mainly need to cultivate a pet, and for that, I need to kill these monsters."
Cold Grandpa flew into a rage.
Su Ping had already spoken, "Last year, I mentioned that as long as those Mythical-level Monster Beasts of the phantom type remain well-behaved, the phantom energy cycle in the Soul Furnace will still function. What exactly is going on now?"
Cold Grandpa stared at Su Ping speechlessly but still replied, "You also mentioned to the Saint Dragon that you wanted to use this location as a trial ground, and the effects have indeed been good. However, just three days ago, we discovered that some Mythical-level Monster Beasts of the phantom type in Tianmu were heading towards the Far North!"
"The Ice Elementals?" Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The Far North was a forbidden zone for humans, located at the border between the Bear Nation and the Dragon Nation. However, this area was extremely cold, inhabited by numerous Ice and Wind Attribute Beasts.
Although this region was special and home to many powerful Monster Beasts, due to its terrain and elemental attributes, it had never posed a threat to the Dragon Nation. Now, how did they get involved?
Cold Grandpa nodded, "They probably want to escape. The Tianmu in the Northland has become a hunting ground for the Dragon Nation, frequently visited by cultivators for trials. These Saintly Phantom-level Monster Beasts of the phantom type want to escape."
Su Ping let out a cold laugh, "Their birth is based on the creation of Tianmu and the Soul Furnace. Now, these things belong to the Dragon Nation, so these Monster Beasts naturally should belong to the Dragon Nation as well. If they escape, they become wild Monster Beasts, and it is only reasonable for us to kill them!"
Cold Grandpa smiled slightly, "Exactly. If these guys had stayed peacefully in Tianmu, it would have been difficult to take action due to our previous promise. But now that they've come out on their own, they can't blame us."
"Cold Grandpa, how many escaped Monster Beasts are there?"
Previously, there were seven or eight Saintly Phantom-level Monster Beasts in Tianmu. Over the years, not counting the slain Winter Snow Demon King and the Supreme Phantom Sword, which had become part of Qianyi's collection, there were still several left.
"Three! According to satellite observations, they are the Huanjin Zhihuang, Bone Wyrm, and Skeleton War God—three pure phantom-type creatures."
Su Ping's eyebrows rose slightly, as these three indeed had quite a background.
"Bone Wyrm?"
The former and the latter were the ultimate forms of the common pet, the Zombie, and the Skeleton Soldier, representing the highest evolutionary peak.
As for the Bone Wyrm, it was a bit interesting. However, Su Ping already had several of them, and they had lost their appeal to the ordinary Dragon race.
"Hmm, a variant of the Bone Dragon, and strictly speaking, it could be considered a member of the Dragon race. This Bone Wyrm has both the Ice and Death Attributes, and its abilities surpass those of ordinary Bone Dragons and Ice Dragons! Its only flaw is that its intelligence is much lower than that of a typical Saintly Phantom, and it often goes berserk. Otherwise, it would have been an excellent experimental subject."
"Are you interested in capturing it alive?"
Su Ping thought for a moment, "Never mind, I really don't have the time and energy to research new pets lately. But if possible, let's keep it alive and eliminate the other two."
With a casual wave of his hand, he had already decided the fate of the two Saintly Phantoms.
Beiyuan reappeared, and with another wave of Su Ping's hand, the star of this journey, Little Fire, made his entrance.
