Chapter 42: The Bronze Plaque of Ten Thousand Beasts

  As I walked into the artificial hill, a wave of damp air suddenly hit me in the face.

  The surroundings were all mossy and wet, but it was clear that they had been carefully repaired, so whether it was the ground or the walls on either side, they were all smooth and flat.

  "When Dark Eagle Wood built this mansion, he secretly ordered the construction of an underground passage. However, after the passage was completed, all the craftsmen who worked on it mysteriously disappeared. Later, their bodies were found in a valley outside the city. It seems that they were all killed by Dark Eagle Wood to keep the secret from leaking out after the project was finished!"

  Castro explained to Ye Han.

  "To ensure this secret, it seems that Dark Eagle Wood has indeed gone to great lengths. But this makes me even more curious, what kind of secret can make him so vigilant and not dare to let others know?"

  Ye Han glanced back at the spiritual puppet of Darkraven Wood, but this character now only had the instinct to fight, even if he heard people talking about him, he still looked dull and his eyes were empty, like a dead man.

  Right, the two of them walked deeper into the underground passageway.

  It was a large hall connecting several levels of rooms, with all sorts of jars and containers placed around the perimeter. In addition to that, there were huge vessels holding specimens of various magical beast materials.

  Among them, there were the vertebrae of a tiger-like demon beast cast in iron, the crimson heart of a silver-backed ape as large as an infant's skull, two-headed rhinoceroses with deep red horns like blood, and the white jade elephant tusks of a white devil elephant... All were powerful demon beasts containing essence and blood.

  At this moment, everything is soaked in alcohol, and most of the essence has been taken away.

  Even Ye Han, also found a dark red relic bone in it, in a semi-transparent container, emitting a red breath that could be seen as the outline of a pair of wings of a red scale armor flying python! Although it was just a piece of bone, a deep and violent aura could still be felt from it.

  That feeling made Ye Han immediately certain. The owner of this dark red relic was absolutely a powerful demon beast that had surpassed the ninth level.

  I don't know how Dark Eagle Wood got away with it.

  "This great hall is clearly a storage room for magical beast materials, but what exactly does Darkraven Wood plan to do with so many magical beasts' bones and blood after spending such a high price to collect them?"

  Castro couldn't believe what he was seeing and said in shock.

  "What else can be done? These parts, most of which are the most precious and concentrated essence of the demon beasts' blood, what kind of cost would it take to collect so many skeletons? It's likely that all the savings of the Dark Eagle Guild over the past few decades have been spent. No wonder when searching for the guild's wealth, such a huge deficit was discovered. Most of it was probably spent by Wu De collecting these powerful demon beast skeletons and essence. He must be trying to refine something. Could it be some kind of potent medicine?"

  Seeing this scene, Ye Han was also somewhat surprised.

  Here are the monster skeleton blood samples, roughly estimated, there may be thousands. Among them, the most precious ones are three kinds.

  One was the remains of a crimson flying serpent, which was beyond the bones of a 9th-level magical beast. Another was a white Qilin bone tube, with the dark green marrow inside already extracted, leaving only a bit of dry residue. The last one was a black unicorn that didn't seem to be from any magical beast's body part, but instead emitted a strong and intense demonic aura, as if it were from a powerful demon in the underworld.

  Among them, the red twin-winged flying python and the silver Qilin were both powerful magical beasts that surpassed the 9th rank when they were alive. As for the black single-horned creature's owner, it was likely a part of a bottom-level demon of the same rank. Among these three, the white silver Qilin's bones and the black single-horn were considered the most precious.

  With Dark Hawk Woods' strength, who knows what great cost was paid to obtain so many precious materials?

  Ye Han was indeed correct in his guess. As a 9th-level warrior of the Dark Eagle Wood, he was barely considered a figure in the Chaotic City, but if he wanted to obtain precious materials from a powerful magical beast that surpassed the 9th level, he probably didn't have the qualifications yet.

  But he has been operating in the chaotic city for decades, and naturally has his own way.

  The skeleton of the red twin-winged flying python was obtained by Dark Eagle Wood at a great cost in an auction within the city of chaos. The white pangolin's bone pipe, on the other hand, was accidentally found by a hunter in the mountains outside the city of chaos and was sold to Wood at a very low price after being brought into the city. As for the black demon unicorn, it had been wrapped in mud and sand before, and the small vendors in the city did not recognize its value, but Dark Eagle Wood discovered it and purchased it.

  These three are all extraordinary, after all, with Dark Hawk Wood's strength, it's likely that he wouldn't be able to withstand the might of a magical beast beyond level 9 and would be killed instantly!

  It took him most of his wealth over the decades just to collect so many beast bones and essence.

  "Let's go take a look at that little house."

  A moment later, Ye Han spoke up.

  "This seems to be an alchemy lab?!" Castro's surprised voice rang out.

  "What is this? This is the Tiger and Leopard Transforming Tendon Pill, a 9th-grade medicinal pill that can enhance physical strength, temper tendons and bones, and is an excellent medicine for cultivating the body. It's also said to have the effect of strengthening yang..."

  "This is Hong Hua Xi Qiu Wan, a 7th-grade Dan medicine that can wash the marrow and meridians, removing impurities from the body!"

  "Huo Pu Gao, applied to the body during cultivation, can increase cultivation speed by 30%, accelerate the circulation of fire attribute Dou Qi, and enhance combat effectiveness."

  "In the chaotic city's black market, the 'Black Tiger Reagent' worth a thousand gold..."

  "Abalone oil..."

  ……

  Currently in awe of Castro.

  "What is this?"

  Ye Han was pushed in, and at the end of the last room, on the table, he found a red jade box emitting intense bloody fluctuations, with more than 100 kinds of vivid, strange-shaped, ferocious beasts carved on it. Below it was also pressed a yellow copper metal card.

  Several large characters were embossed on the brass plate.

  Ten Thousand Beasts' Blood Sacrifice!
