“What? A saint rank creature?!” The Rat King’s shifty eyes gleamed with excitement as he licked his lips greedily, almost drooling in his desire.
“Mm hmm. You’ve been yammering on about bloodline evolution. Here’s a chance. I forgot to tell you, this Firelizard has the bloodline of the dragons. Although it’s been quite diluted after being passed down through so many generations, but a dragon’s descendant is still a dragon’s descendant. Do you understand what I mean?”
The Rat King bobbed his head up and down rapidly. “Understood, understood. Young master, just what happened? How could a saint rank creature…”
The Goldbiter Rats were a cautious and timid race by nature. Even if one placed it in front of a lavish meal, it would still ask detailed questions about who, what, when, where, and why just in case it somehow got into a great deal of trouble.
Jiang Chen smiled, “Just tell me if you want it or not.”
“Yes, yes I do!” The Rat King hurriedly said.
“Then that’s the end of it. However, you need to take care of a problem first before you can enjoy this lovely meal in peace.”
“What is that?” The Rat King hastened to ask.
“It’s very simple. There’s a Fire Raven King within the stomach of the Firelizard, but it’s at less than 20% of its full strength. It may be just a bit stronger than you in its prime condition if it kept its aerial advantage. If you were to really battle with him, he wouldn’t be able to withstand your drilling abilities. Tell me, are you afraid of facing a Raven King that’s missing his legs and at less than twenty percent of his full strength?”
“Less than twenty percent of his full strength?” The Rat King asked cautiously.
“Twenty percent would be an overestimation. But you need to be quick. It may break through to the saint rank if it eats the Firelizard’s core. You should make haste since it’s only just gone inside. If you pass this chance on by, it will no longer exist.”
The Rat King didn’t dare linger when it heard these words and quickly slipped into the Firelizard’s bloody maw.
Jiang Chen felt a fierce struggle ensue from within the Firelizard after a short while. It looked like the Raven King had met the Rat King in battle.
However, the fight didn’t last long. It was exactly as Jiang Chen had guessed, the Raven King didn’t even have time to swallow the Firelizard’s core before it was interrupted by the Rat King.
Two spirit creatures at the peak of the spirit rank started laying into each other right in the middle of the Firelizard’s stomach.
The Raven King, at less than twenty percent of its strength, was quickly overcome.
The Rat King came drilling out with the Raven King’s corpse in hand shortly. The Raven King was now unrecognizable thanks to the Rat King nibbling on him.
Jiang Chen conveniently stored the cores of the Raven King and Firelizard.
The value of an original spirit creature’s core was priceless, worth cities.
The Raven King’s core was at the peak of the spirit rank and equally valuable.
The Rat King didn’t dare lust over these cores. He knew that he couldn’t set his sights on anything Jiang Chen wanted, or his tribe would lose a great deal because he tried to save a little.
A sumptuous feast greeted the Goldbiter Rats next.
There were so many Fire Raven corpses and the Firelizard corpse at the scene. It was enough for the Goldbiter Rats to eat handsomely.
Just the Firelizard alone was astonishing enough.
There were also thousands of Fire Ravens, each as big as a person.
This feast lasted four hours, and the Goldbiter Rats were still not quite fully satiated. However, they’d gained quite a lot from this meal.
The Rat King licked his lips and belched. As the king, he’d eaten the most and further had eaten the best, most nutritious parts of the Firelizard.
After the flesh and blood were devoured, Jiang Chen put the Firelizard’s scales away. This being had been so big that its scales were enough to forge armor for a hundred, two hundred people.
Of course, he would never do such an extravagant thing. It would be an absolute waste to use the scales to make armor for others.
Jiang Chen didn’t overlook the remaining Firelizard skeleton either.
These bones were so durable and hard that apart from the Rat King being able to munch on a portion, the other Goldbiter Rats had insufficient levels of cultivation to even bite down on them.
That even the Goldbiter Rats, a race eminently adept at devouring their food, couldn’t bite down on the bones, spoke to how hard this skeleton was.
“These are all good items. They’d make fine weapons.” Jiang Chen would naturally never pass up anything that had value.
The Raven King’s feathers, particularly his tail feathers, were all as sharp as arrows. It was a prime choice to craft them into weapons, flying daggers, or arrows.
“Haha, these gains are much better than one Cloudflame Flower!” Jiang Chen was in great spirits as he took inventory of his gai
