Chapter 911: Chapter 699: Seizing the Divine Bone
Snowbird Port.
Inside a residential house, the space is vast.
This is the Fishman youth’s Divine Country Descent Technique.
Not to mention the Mage Tower that has been destroyed, even if it still existed, it couldn’t detect the inside of the Divine Country.
So, this place is very safe.
Of course, it’s not to say that all Mage Towers can’t threaten the Divine Country; it depends on the quality and level of the Mage Tower, among other things.
Hun Tong, Da Dou, the Big guy, Hong Zhu, and Cong Mang all gathered.
The Fishman youth was glowing with a blue light.
The blue light was initially dazzling, then gradually faded, allowing the Fishman youth to transform back into the Dragon-man form.
Although the youth used the Blood Core to change his life form, he also cast a deception Divine Art.
This was his deliberate action.
This scene inevitably led everyone to a mistaken assumption: the Fishman form is the youth’s true form, and the Dragon-man appearance is merely a disguise.
This assumption was quite natural, especially since almost everyone present had been blessed with the deception Divine Art.
There’s no need to mention Hun Tong; he had been under the protection of Divine Arts while investigating his way through the Treasure Chest in Tan Mo and upon landing at Snowbird Port.
Cong Mang and his pirate group managed to sneak into Snowbird Port under the protection of the deception Divine Art.
Da Dou and Hong Zhu had previously seen the Big guy casting Divine Arts, so they were already familiar with the aura of this Divine Power. During the offense and defense battle of Snowbird Port, they looted the City Lord’s mansion lavishly, protected throughout by the deception Divine Art.
The Dragon-man youth offered no explanation, allowing them to continue their speculations.
The Dragon-man youth sat down slowly.
With his movement, a wide high-backed chair formed out of thin air in the space of the Divine Country, created by Divine Power.
The ground around the chair gradually rose, forming a throne.
The Dragon-man youth sat arrogantly, looking down at everyone from above with indifference.
“Is this the true nature of Long Fu?” Looking up at the Dragon-man youth’s domineering and cold demeanor, Hun Tong felt complicated emotions inside.
Hong Zhu felt a similar sense.
In Twin Eyes Island, she had once cooperated with the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps. During the Beast Tide, the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps closely collaborated with many Silver Level Transcendents, establishing numerous connections.
The unfamiliar attitude and expression of the Dragon-man youth at this moment shattered Hong Zhu’s previous impressions.
She directly knelt on the ground, calling out with reverence and gratitude, “Lord Long Fu, you are Hong Zhu’s savior, and I beg to join the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps. Please accept my allegiance! From now on, your command will be the purpose of my actions!”
Hong Zhu knelt quickly and decisively!
None of those present were surprised at all.
This is a world of the strong.
Powerful Transcendents naturally possess great charisma that attracts followers.
The stronger the person, the greater the charisma.
Countless historical examples have taught people and formed a very common consensus: in any force or organization, the strong are the true foundation. Only by following the strong can one work more effectively, preserve the fruits of victory, and have enough capacity to withstand risks.
The youth, with the Fishman form, displayed a powerful demeanor that deeply shocked everyone present.
Da Dou, Hun Tong, and Cong Mang all witnessed firsthand how the Fishman youth easily swept away three Golden Level opponents and cleared the battlefield.
If the three Golden Levels were so shocked, the impression must be even deeper for Hong Zhu, who is at the Silver Level.
It was more than just intimidation; the youth also saved their lives.
After all, the aura of the Fishman youth’s Divine Art was identical to the Divine Art aura of the Big guy who was divinely descended.
Combining with the Big guy’s current respectful demeanor and the position and power of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps, Hong Zhu already understood that under the unknown deity’s command, the Fishman youth’s status was even higher than the Big guy’s!
Considering their previous relationship and Hong Zhu’s significant gains from looting the entire City Lord’s mansion…
These factors combined made Hong Zhu sincerely convinced by the Dragon-man youth.
The Dragon-man youth looked down at Hong Zhu and said with a faint smile, “On Twin Eyes Island, I could already tell: Hong Zhu, you are an excellent Treasure Hunter because you have a pair of sharp eyes that can see what is truly valuable.”
After speaking, the Dragon-man youth meaningfully glanced at the others.
But Da Dou and the others, with varied expressions, didn’t express themselves like Hong Zhu did.
As for the Big guy, he was no longer in a state of divine descent now. He stared at the Dragon-man youth with bright eyes and grinned silently.
Seeing his father again made him very happy.
But earlier, he had been instructed by the Dragon-man youth to just stand by, not move, and not speak.
“Be good and listen.”
“The little one listens to daddy the most!” Thoughts like this continually circulated in the Big guy’s mind.
The Dragon-man youth turned his gaze back to Hong Zhu: “Show me what you gained from the City Lord’s mansion this time.”
Before Cong Mang’s Vegetable Basket pirate group attacked the City Lord’s mansion, Da Dou and the other two had already looted it in advance.
Hong Zhu suddenly became excited: “Lord Long Fu, this time… our gains are extremely rich, too rich!”
She was so excited that she even stuttered a bit.
Hong Zhu placed all her gains in a pile on the ground before her.
Da Dou also hurriedly pulled out his preservation bag to reveal his treasures.
The Big guy was still grinning.
The Dragon-man youth, with a single glance, used Divine Arts to transmit a message to the heart.
The big guy exclaimed and also started to pull things out of his body.
Gold coins were the most numerous, directly piling up into a small mountain.
These were all in the style of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, clearly the currency circulated in the market.
“Most of them were seized from the tax treasury,” Hong Zhu introduced at the right time.
The Dragon-man youth nodded faintly, he certainly knew. He had been multitasking the whole time, participating in the way of divine descent on the big guy.
But he didn’t show it.
He had already exposed some secrets, and he wanted to keep the rest.
The big guy was divinely descended upon, and the Dragon-man youth preferred others to think it was the descent of a deity, rather than him, a Golden Level.
The deterrence level between the two was worlds apart.
Because in the Divine Country, the Dragon-man youth didn’t need to count, just at a glance, he saw the exact number of gold coins — 276,587 gold coins.
Obviously, it was a huge sum.
The small mountain of gold coins firmly attracted Cong Mang’s gaze. As a pirate, he loved these little darlings the most.
But soon, he turned his gaze to a pile of ice next to the gold coins.
These ice blocks were of different sizes, the larger ones were about the volume of a teapot, the smaller ones like small fists clenched by children.
But their shapes were consistent, all in the form of hearts.
“Hearts of Ice, these are all Hearts of Ice!!” Cong Mang exclaimed in his heart.
This was a specialty resource of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom.
The uses of the Heart of Ice were quite extensive. They could be directly ingested by humans, could be used as the main ingredient to make magic potions (Ice Head Flower Potion was the most famous one), and could also be used to make various alchemy tools (the Ice Heart Headwear is a classic product).
“Isn’t it said that the production of the Heart of Ice is very low? What’s going on with Snowbird Port? Why are there so many?” This suspicion of Cong Mang was also in the minds of Da Dou and Hong Zhu.
When Da Dou and Hong Zhu discovered it at the time, they were quite surprised and almost thought they were mistaken.
Primarily because the number of these Hearts of Ice was too many.
Regarding this, the Dragon-man youth knew the truth, and as if he saw through the doubts in everyone’s hearts, he directly said, “In this country, the production of the Heart of Ice has actually always been high.”
“But the Ice Sculpture Royal Family deliberately spread false information, creating a false impression of low production of the Heart of Ice.”
“Secretly, the Ice Sculpture Royal Family has always been secretly controlling the Hearts of Ice, and their power is greater than the Prohibition Armor Order.”
“These Hearts of Ice are not completely transparent, at most some are semi-transparent, and are not considered the highest quality. The highest quality Hearts of Ice are all in the hands of the Royal Family, and have never been released.”
Regarding this secret, it was said personally by the City Lord of Snowbird Port.
Only then did everyone understand.
The way the Ice Sculpture Royal Family of Menshi made a fortune is also very understandable.
The Heart of Ice, accurately speaking, is a kind of Elemental Heart.
The Elemental Heart is a rare material above Element Crystals. Besides the Four Great Elemental Planes, the production of Elemental Hearts is extremely low.
The Heart of Ice, accurately speaking, should be called the Heart of Ice Element.
The quality of these Hearts of Ice Element, the lowest is at Silver Level, and a few are at Golden Level.
The value is very high.
More importantly, there is no market for it. Under normal circumstances, even if there is a lot of money, it is difficult to buy so many immediately in the market of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom.
Next to the Hearts of Ice, there is a large pile of antiques. There are oil paintings, sculptures, as well as weapons of famous people with only ornamental value from the history of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom.
About these, they do not interest Cong Mang.
This pirate captain of the Vegetable Basket has knowledge related to zero.
Hong Zhu’s insight is higher than anyone else’s, even higher than the Dragon-man youth. Her valuation of these antiques is very high, not less than the small mountain of gold coins!
Hong Zhu sighed, “The City Lord of Snowbird Port has a very deep noble aesthetic, with a lot of artworks arranged within the City Lord’s mansion.”
“But we were able to collect almost all these things in such a short time, all thanks to this bone!”
Hong Zhu slightly raised her palm.
Her palm was open, with a bone quietly resting in her palm.
The bone was ghastly white, its shape irregular, it’s hard to tell which part of the body it came from.
There was no transcendent aura on the bone, it was like the most ordinary mundane object.
Cong Mang stared at this bone, suddenly thought of something, and his voice trembled, “Could this be the Greedy Divine Bone of the fourth-generation Pirate King?”
The Dragon-man youth reached out and grabbed the Greedy Divine Bone into the air.
After holding it, he used the Charming Blue Divine Skill to investigate, and at the next moment, the Greedy Divine Bone exuded an extremely weak Divine Level aura.
The Dragon-man youth had doubts in his heart.
At that time, he divided his attention to divinely descend on the big guy and saw the bone being carefully guarded, knowing that this “ordinary” bone was certainly not simple.
At that time, Hong Zhu’s reaction was faster than his, quickly identifying the origins of the Divine Bone.
The function of the Greedy Divine Bone is to point to anything of value within a certain range around it.
It is the supreme tool for treasure hunters.
As a treasure hunter, Hong Zhu naturally thinks about it day and night.
This is why she could identify it so quickly.
Because seeing an ordinarily searched-for bone being carefully guarded, her first associative answer was this.
But why the City Lord of Snowbird Port had such a rare item in his hands, neither Hong Zhu nor the Dragon-man youth knew the reason.
