Chapter 1125: 1125
“This looks like the skeleton of an eagle-type soulbeast . Probably a magical storm eagle judging from the wind and lightning energies around it…what do you think about his inheritance, Xiao Qi?”
Bai Yunfei was currently staring at a small tornado that was standing still in the same spot . It was about a hundred meters in circumference and had the skeleton of a large eagle inside it .
Xiao Qi shook his head . “I feel his inheritance rejecting me since we’re not really related . I might be able to take it if I force the connection, but…”
“Forget it then, let’s keep on looking . ” Bai Yunfei was already turning away to look elsewhere .
“Wait, Yunfei . I feel something calling for me over there, can we go look?” Xiao Qi pointed to the left with his wing .
“Oh?” Turning around, Bai Yunfei started to head in the direction pointed, “Something’s calling for you? Sounds interesting, let’s go take a look!”
Off they went to a large mountain to the left . They were on a direct path to wherever it was with Xiao Qi guiding them .
It was already three days since they entered this part of the Tomb . Three days ago was when Bai Yunfei got the +13 Guaranteed Upgrade Stone after completely annihilating that small mountain they were on . Luckily no skeletons were there on that mountain .
Every mountain they passed by on the way was given a quick look-over to see if any upgrade stones could be found . Bai Yunfei would carefully excavate a part of the mountain in hopes of encountering another ‘treasure mountain’, but to no avail . His luck wouldn’t be so good that a second treasure trove could be found .
For that reason, Bai Yunfei made sure to be more careful with his excavation efforts and dedicated more time in looking at the inheritances of the soulbeasts around .
Xiao Qi and Bai Yunfei took things slowly during those three days . Preferring to scan the area slowly and ‘revering’ every avian soulbeast skeleton they came across, the two tried to find the ‘inheritance’ that was calling out to Xiao Qi .
The Tomb of the Emperor Beasts was by no means a dangerous place . Every inheritance that could be found here was basically as good as a manual filled with the knowledge of their owners to be read . But inversely, these inheritances couldn’t be read by just anyone . The reader had to be compatible with the inheritance, lest they do more harm than good to their body and mind . That was the reason why Bai Yunfei was so careful looking at all the inheritances . He wanted to find the most compatible one for Xiao Qi to study from .
So it was surprising for Xiao Qi to suddenly say he was being ‘called’ by something after three days of searching . He already came to appreciate how magical and mysterious these inheritances were after looking at them for so long . They worked in mysterious ways for many soulbeasts, just like how Long Lan was able to ingest the blood of the Black Dragon King and mutate in ways no one would’ve been able to predict . The Black Dragon King’s blood called out to Long Lan at the time due to their compatibility .
Following that same level of logic, the inheritance that was calling out to Xiao Qi surely had to mean the two of them were extremely compatible! Perhaps it was even the most compatible inheritance for Xiao Qi!
Now that they had a destination in mind the skeletons on the path weren’t being as closely observed as before . It took more than half a day for Bai Yunfei to realize something was off…
He didn’t see a single avian skeleton in the last few hours…
They were still heading towards the same source they felt before, but the landscape had been barren for hours now . Not even a single avian soulbeast had a skeleton here!
It was strange . While Bai Yunfei knew the skeletons of a soulbeast wouldn’t be very close to one another since it would be quite rude for a soulbeast to encroach too closely to the skeleton of another . It was the polite thing for a dying soulbeast to choose an area untouched by the presence of one who came before .
But for an area like this to have not even a single skeleton for so long…
“What is that?!”
Another puzzle came to present itself to Xiao Qi and Bai Yunfei a while later . Just barely noticeable over the horizon was a floating ‘sun’ the color of the rainbow!
Every skeleton had with them parts of their energy that’d linger around after their death . The stronger they were, the more energy that’d be left behind . But…this sun had too much energy!
