"It's so cold."
The onlookers could not help but shiver. They saw a layer of white mist coming out of the box. When the white mist dissipated, they could finally see it clearly. Lying in the wooden box was a thick and smooth bone.
That bone-chilling cold air was emitted from this piece of bone!
"What is this?"
The people were stunned. They had never seen such a magical object before. Although they did not know what it was, their intuition told them that it was an incredible treasure.
"This is a desolate bone!" Lian Chengyu looked at the huge bone with a look of satisfaction on his face. "The light patterns you saw previously were to seal the Frost Qi in this desolate bone."
"Desolate bone? This is a desolate bone? "
Many of the people in the crowd had never heard of desolate bones, but Yi Yun had heard Jiang Xiaorou describe it in detail.
In this world's vast wilderness, there were powerful desolate beasts. Every desolate beast could easily destroy a small tribe like the Lian tribal clan.
Desolate beasts were terrifying, but their bodies were treasures.
Desolate beast meat was an excellent tonic, but a person's appetite was limited. A large desolate beast was the size of a hill, so how much could a person eat even if they ate to their heart's content?
But luckily, most of the essence of a desolate beast was gathered in its bones. Using a mystic technique, it could be extracted into a small piece.
Such a desolate beast's bones were the most precious part of a desolate beast's body!
The desolate bone in the wooden box looked like a piece of a desolate beast's rib. Although it was only a small part of the desolate beast's body, it was still very precious!
"The reason why there is so little food today is because while exchanging for food, more weapons were used to exchange for this desolate bone! Actually, to exchange for it, just the arrows and armor you made were not enough. The reason I was able to exchange for this desolate bone was because when I went out for training in my youth, I found a pretty good mental cultivation technique remnant manual. Adding everything together, I barely managed to exchange for it! "
As Lian Chengyu spoke, the advisor elder beside him had already explained the uses and preciousness of the desolate bone to everyone.
The advisor described it vividly, but the crowd found it hard to accept.
No matter how powerful the desolate bone was, what did it have to do with them?
Even the dumbest person would know that even if the essence of the desolate bones was extracted, it would not be given to them to eat.
"I know what you're thinking. You're worried about your future, worried that you'll starve to death. I understand your difficulties, but think about it, when will these days come to an end? There are so many small tribes in the Wasteland that they are like grains of sand in the desert. They have no power to protect themselves and can be destroyed at any time! "
"My Lian tribal clan is also one of them!"
"Do you want to live such a precarious life forever? Worrying about your next meal and worrying about being bitten to death by wild beasts while you sleep! "
"Do you want this kind of life?"
Lian Chengyu's words were extremely provocative. Many of the clansmen could not help but clench their fists tightly, their hearts filled with ruthlessness! This kind of life made them feel like they were going to collapse. What was hell? This was it!
"I've had enough!" Someone in the crowd roared.
"Very good! I don't want to live like this either! Now there's a chance. In three months, one of the great human kingdoms, the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, will be recruiting young warriors on a large scale within the vast territory of the kingdom! If you can pass the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's selection, you will become a warrior of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom! "
"This is a supreme honor, and also a great opportunity!"
Upon saying this, Lian Chengyu's eyes seemed to burn with a burning flame!
Yi Yun understood this gaze. It was a sign of extreme desire and ambition!
Lian Chengyu was an ambitious person. He did not want to be trapped in the tiny Lian tribal clan for the rest of his life. He wanted to go out, out of the vast wilderness, and become someone above others!
"No wonder he was willing to let so many of his clansmen starve to death in exchange for this piece of desolate bone … So he wants to rush for the Kingdom's assessment in three months!"
Yi Yun was enlightened. According to Yi Yun's original plan, Lian Chengyu could have saved up a lot of food every time he exchanged for this piece of desolate bone, slowly accumulating food to exchange for this piece of desolate bone.
Now, he was using this method of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. It probably meant that in the near future, his strength would have a qualitative leap with this piece of desolate bone!
And Lian Chengyu's words immediately confirmed Yi Yun's guess.
"I, Lian Chengyu! Born and raised in the Lian tribal clan, I'm a son of the Lian tribal clan. I'm willing to do everything for the Lian tribal clan! Luckily, with this piece of desolate bone, I can break through to a Purple Blood Warrior in three months! After becoming a Purple Blood Warrior, I can easily pass the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's assessment and become a Kingdom's warrior! "
"And at that time, I can protect the Lian tribal clan alone. Because after becoming a Kingdom's warrior, I can bring the Lian tribal clan to the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's cities. In the future, if I make some achievements, I can even build my own city! When that time comes, everyone can enter my city and live in peace and enjoy life! "
"Three months! That's right, all you need to do is endure for three months. After the assessment, I can guarantee you that you will have enough to eat and wear! Today, what the clansmen have given to me, I will return it a hundred times, a thousand times over! "
Lian Chengyu's words were extremely bewitching. The simple and suffering commoners could not see Lian Chengyu's ambition. They were all intoxicated by the beautiful future Lian Chengyu described, their hearts filled with yearning.
Three months, as long as they persisted for three months, they could live in the city?
Was this true?
"This kid could be a politician on Earth."
Yi Yun was cursing in his heart. At this moment, he knew that no one would doubt that the distribution of food was too small. Lian Chengyu's Fata Morgana would shut everyone up. If anyone continued doubting, Lian Chengyu would not even need to make a move. The surrounding people would jump out to deal with them.
This was the helplessness of the impoverished era. Here, human lives were as cheap as grass. A bag of grain was worth several lives, and it was normal for more people to die for the beautiful hope that Lian Chengyu had created.
The people here lived in poverty and were too depressed, so they needed hope. They needed a spiritual sustenance to continue living. Even if this hope was illusory, they were willing to believe it was real. If anyone stood up to say it was fake, that person might even be beaten to death by those in despair.
Seeing that the people were still in a daze, a lackey suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Long live Young master Lian Chengyu!"
The suffering people who never had enough to eat three meals were easily agitated. In fact, many of them were willing to die for the continuation of their race and for their descendants to have adequate food and clothing.
"Long live Young master Lian Chengyu …"
A few people shouted a few times, as though they had not eaten their fill.
Once someone shouted, more and more people shouted. Even if many people were worried about tomorrow's food, they could only go with the flow.
This was the sorrow of the weak. They did not have the power to choose.
Seeing the reaction of the people, Lian Chengyu was very satisfied.
This was what he wanted. The Lian tribal clan would be his stepping stone. He wanted to step on this stone to become a legend!
"Chengyu, you did well."
The yellow-robed elder said as he walked behind Lian Chengyu.
"Grandpa, there's no need to praise me. It's nothing. If I can't stir the emotions of the people, then I won't be able to do anything. To refine this bone, many people will die."
"Oh …" The yellow-robed elder sighed in his heart. He already knew that refining the bone would cause deaths, but no matter how many people died, he could not give up this opportunity.
"A general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand. Grandpa, why do you have to sigh. These people can die for the tribe, so the tribe will remember them. And … with a few deaths, there will be more food left. This way, it won't be a problem for us to last three months. "
Lian Chengyu said casually. In his heart, he did not care about these sacrifices at all. How many people died in the Wildlands every day?
It was worth it if a few ants died to become a hero, because a hero could save even more ants.
What's more, this hero was himself!
Other than the yellow-robed elder, no one else heard Lian Chengyu's words.
"Yun-er, what's the matter?" Jiang Xiaorou noticed that Yi Yun was absent-minded, so she tugged at him, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing …" Yi Yun shook his head.
Yi Yun shook his head. He was in a daze not because of Lian Chengyu's speech, nor was it because of the bitter fate the poor of the Lian tribal clan faced. It was because a few faint light dots had flown over, like fireflies in the night sky.
These specks of light flew into his chest and disappeared.
Following that, the Purple Crystal's coolness became clearer.
Obviously, these light dots had been absorbed by the Purple Crystal, just like how the Purple Crystal had absorbed the starlight that night!
And the source of these light dots was …
