"Worried that we would be frightened by the corpses?" Song Zhong sneered, "Then I'll have to thank you!"
"No, no, I'm just afraid that you would be injured by the Demonic Beasts!" The Naked Skinning Witch hurriedly defended herself.
"Very good. Since that's the case, you can go and guard the surroundings. Leave this place to us!" Song Zhong said as he waved his hand impolitely, as though he was swatting away a fly.
Hearing this, the Naked Skinning Witch's face changed. Because Song Zhong's actions were equivalent to taking away her rights to the spoils of war. She had painstakingly taken care of a group of Demonic Beasts, why would she not have the rights to take the spoils of war? Furthermore, Song Zhong and the rest did not even put in a single effort, yet they could take the lion's share. How could she not be angry?
Thus, the Naked Skinning Witch could not help but defend herself, "Sir, don't you think that this is too much? No matter what, I was the one who killed them, why should you take all the spoils for yourself? "
"Hmph, you really know how to complain first!" Song Zhong sneered, "You actually have the face to say that I want to take all the spoils for myself? If not for the fact that we rushed here in advance, wouldn't you have taken all the spoils for yourself? "
"This ~" The Naked Skinning Witch rolled her eyes and immediately tried to defend herself. "Aiyaya, what are you saying? I only took some inner cores, and these things are limited. Even if I took them temporarily, do you think I wouldn't share them with you?"
"Hmph!" After Song Zhong heard this, he immediately placed his hands behind his back and sneered, "The Inner Cores are limited, but the Spiritual Herbs are hard to say!" As he said that, his gaze locked onto the ground where the Naked Skinning Witch had taken the Spiritual Herbs.
Everyone naturally followed Song Zhong's gaze and quickly discovered something strange. Although there were no more Spiritual Herbs, the ground was new. With one look, they knew that something had been taken away. Instantly, everyone came to a realization that the Naked Skinning Witch had already taken advantage of the situation.
When the Naked Skinning Witch saw that her scheme had been seen through by Song Zhong, she was afraid that Song Zhong would take the opportunity to ask for those Spirit Herbs. She hurriedly said with a guilty conscience, "Aiya, today's weather is pretty good. You guys have fun, I'll go take a look around and see if there are any fish that slipped through the net." After saying that, she did not give anyone a chance to speak and directly flew away on her sword. No matter how one looked at it, she had a guilty conscience.
Seeing this scene, everyone was furious, but there was nothing they could do. Song Zhong wanted to incite everyone's hatred for the Naked Skinning Witch, so he only exposed this matter and did not take the initiative to solve it. In any case, those things were nothing in his eyes. If he could exchange them for everyone's hatred for the Naked Skinning Witch, it was worth it.
Seeing that the Naked Skinning Witch had left, everyone began to tidy up the surroundings. SiYu and SiYun were in charge of looking for spiritual herbs and other materials. Stone, Old Poison, and Melaleuca Chinensis were in charge of handling the Fire Cloud Beast.
Generally speaking, the corpses of Demonic Beasts should be handled comprehensively. This included skinning the skin, pulling out the tendons, extracting the inner core, bone marrow, and other parts that could be used as medicine. These things could be taken out to be sold, and the price would not be low. Of course, the most valuable part was still the inner core. Especially for Demonic Beasts like the Fire Cloud Beast, which did not have any special characteristics, the inner core would take up at least two-thirds of the total value of the materials.
Dealing with it comprehensively would definitely maximize the benefits, but it was also very troublesome. Even Stone and Old Poison, who were already familiar with dealing with a huge Fire Cloud Beast, would need to spend at least an hour to do so. Who knew how long it would take to deal with a hundred or so Fire Cloud Beasts!
Thus, Song Zhong suggested that they only take the inner cores of the Fire Cloud Beasts. The inner cores, Spirit Herbs, and other materials on the island would be divided among everyone. He did not take anything, only the corpses of the Demonic Beasts.
Hearing Song Zhong's suggestion, everyone could not help but be surprised. It was not because Song Zhong was greedy, on the contrary, it was because Song Zhong was too magnanimous. One had to know that if it was divided like this, Song Zhong would only get a large amount of low-grade goods. He would not get a share of the high-grade inner cores, Spirit Herbs, and other materials. In terms of total value, he would suffer a loss. After all, the Spirit Herbs and materials on the island were also very valuable, not even below the total value of these Fire Cloud Beasts.
Since it was obviously a loss, why did Song Zhong still make such a suggestion? Everyone was puzzled. The sisters, Siyun and Siyu, had also asked, but unfortunately, Song Zhong only smiled and did not explain.
Thus, everyone thought that Song Zhong was a modest gentleman who did not like to pursue profits, and deliberately gave them the lion's share. For this, they sincerely expressed their gratitude. From the looks of it, they were even somewhat moved.
Seeing this scene, Song Zhong did not know whether to laugh or cry in his heart. In fact, the reason why he only wanted the corpses was not that he was magnanimous, but because his Life Source Magic Weapon needed these corpses.
One had to know that since leaving the Xuantian Monastery and coming to the East Sea. Song Zhong could no longer go to the gutter to pick up garbage and use it to decompose it in his Life Source Magic Weapon. If there was no broken magical item to break it down, his natal space would no longer be able to continuously produce extremely rich five elements spirit qi. As a result, the Five Elements Thunder Gathering Platform that he spent all his wealth to make would become a decoration. His Five Elements Pure Water could not continue to be produced, and even the Five Elements Lotus inside would wither and die. Obviously, if this was the case, the blow to Song Zhong would be fatal.
Fortunately, Song Zhong's Life Source Magic Weapon could not only decompose broken Magic Weapons, but also decompose corpses. And the East Sea lacked everything except the corpses of Demonic Beasts. In just this mission alone, SongZhong obtained over a hundred Fire Cloud Beasts' corpses. Level 4 Demonic Beasts, that was the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage, if decomposed, it would definitely release a huge amount of Spirit Qi.
Of course, this Spirit Qi would mainly be of the Fire Attribute, other Spirit Qi would also be present, but far less than the Fire Attribute. But it didn't matter, Song Zhong's Life Source Magic Weapon had the most magical place, that was, it could condense the excess Spirit Qi into Spirit Stones to ensure the balance of the Five Elements Spirit Qi in the space. So Song Zhong did not have to worry about this at all, just throw the corpses into the black soil.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone present, SongZhong easily kept all the corpses of the demonic beasts. Those were close to a hundred gigantic demonic beasts, piled up into a small mountain. Just how big of a storage item would he need to store all of them? So everyone felt incredible about the size of the storage ring on Song Zhong's hand.
Actually, what they did not know was that Song Zhong did not even put the corpses into the storage ring, but directly kept them in his Life Source Magic Weapon. Furthermore, the other eight Demonic Desire Witches in the Life Source Magic Weapon immediately stopped what they were doing and threw a Demonic Beast's corpse into the black soil. Very quickly, a huge amount of pure Spirit Qi was produced. This made Xiao Pang feel exceptionally satisfied.
Although Song Zhong's actions saved everyone a lot of time, they were not in a hurry to return. However, they weren't in a hurry to return. Instead, they began to conduct a carpet search on this small island that was hundreds of miles in radius. Because no one knew how many years it had been since someone came to this place, there might be many good things hidden here. Since it was not easy to come here, if they did not search, they would be letting themselves down. In the end, after working for an entire day, they really found many good things. Especially the sisters SiYu and SiYun, they found a stalk of nearly two thousand years old Lingzhi, which made them extremely happy.
The Naked Skinning Witch's eyes turned red as she shouted that she wanted to sell it and split the profits. Old Poison's face was naturally filled with agreement, but he did not expect Song Zhong to stand out and scold them. Stone also expressed his rare support for SiYu and SiYun, which allowed SiYu and SiYun to successfully obtain the stalk of Lingzhi.
SiYu and SiYun were naturally extremely grateful towards Song Zhong, to the point that they started to speak incoherently. When Song Zhong saw this, he could not help but tease them, "If you really want to thank me, why don't you let me see your true faces?"
In the end, when Song Zhong said this, SiYu and SiYun directly pretended to be ignorant, insisting that this was their true faces. After that, they giggled and ran away, causing Xiao Pang to be depressed.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed and the sky gradually turned dark. Although they did not fight much today, everyone was still a little tired from running around to look for things. Furthermore, the Eastern Sea was not very peaceful at night, and many unique Demonic Beasts liked to roam around at night. In the end, everyone decided to stay here for the night. Since all the Fire Cloud Beasts had been killed, it should be the safest place for the time being.
At night, Song Zhong and the others were drinking and chatting by the lava lake. They were not bored at all. Although the Naked Skinning Witch seemed to have suffered a loss, in reality, she had gained the most. That large patch of high grade herbs protected by the Fire Cloud Beasts had all been taken by her. Those herbs were worth more than all of the Fire Cloud Beasts. Therefore, she was in a good mood. She chatted and laughed with everyone, as if she didn't mind what had happened today. But in reality, only she knew in her heart.
It was a quiet night. The next day, at dawn, everyone got up one after another. After washing up, Song Zhong took out the black airboat again. Everyone knew that they shouldn't stay here for long, so they didn't even bother to eat breakfast and wanted to leave first.
However, just as Song Zhong took out the airboat, the sound of a bird's cry suddenly came from far away in the sky. This sound was extremely loud. Although it was still far away, they could hear it clearly. Everyone looked in that direction and saw a white line flying over from afar. In the blink of an eye, it crossed an unknown distance and arrived above everyone's heads.
It turned out that it was a majestic giant eagle with a silver body and a wingspan of several feet. This eagle's body was very thin, with soft lines. Its body was surrounded by blue electric arcs, and it looked exceptionally handsome. When it saw everyone, it immediately changed its direction and circled around them. At the same time, it kept chirping, as if it was transmitting some kind of message.
