Chapter 140 Xiong Jun's Ancestors?
Huo Yuhao bowed slightly apologetically to the two women, "I'm sorry, Miss Xue Di, Miss Qiu'er, my place is a bit messy. Please wait a moment while I tidy up."
Long Qiu'er waved her hand dismissively, her gaze inevitably falling on the bag at Huo Yuhao's feet. "This is—"
"What?! How did you get this?!"
"Oh? Miss Qiu'er, do you recognize this?"
Xue Di's gaze also fell on the woven bag, then looked at the brownish-yellow little orangutan, rubbed her eyes, and stared again, exclaiming, "This, this is—"
He quickly walked over, squatted down, placed his hand on the emerald green rattan bag, and gently hooked a bit of the rattan with his finger. His eyes were a little red.
He shook his head with a wry smile, looking at Huo Yuhao with a resentful and complicated expression, "—You truly deserve to be a person favored by this world."
This is actually a bag woven from the roots of the evergreen vine, and it can even yield a cub of a behemoth!
Xue Di naturally understood that this was fate, and there was no way to envy it.
Just like how some people can get three gold cards in ten consecutive pulls in Three Kingdoms Kill, while others can only pull the pity system in Genshin Impact —
It seemed that the silver dragon scale pendant on Huo Yuhao's chest also emitted a silver light.
Long Qiu'er looked at Xue Di in astonishment, "A Behemoth!? How is that possible? How could such a creature still be alive!"
Xue Di simply nodded silently at Long Qiu'er's surprise.
Although Long Qiu'er had heard Di Tian and Xiong Jun talk about this kind of creature, she had only lived for 15,000 years and her knowledge was far less extensive than that of the Snow Emperor, who had lived for 700,000 years.
Huo Yuhao tried his best to ignore the two women's eyes, which seemed to want to devour him, and said with a helpless expression, "Uh—ladies, at least tell me what these two things are."
Long Qiu'er sighed, walked to Xue Di's side, and picked up the woven bag with envy.
"These are the roots of the Life Ivy, which grows in the Life Lake at the very core of the Starry Sky Forest. Beneath the waters of the Life Lake lies the gold of life."
Huo Yuhao could understand this. To put it simply, this thing grew on the Living Gold, so it probably wasn't much more valuable than the Living Gold itself.
Long Qiu'er continued to explain, "The Evergreen Vine of Life grows on the Gold of Life, and it only grows an inch every thousand years, making it extremely precious. After the ferocious beasts survive the Heavenly Tribulation, the lightning tribulation will inevitably damage their life essence. The function of this Evergreen Vine of Life is that after their essence is damaged, only a small section needs to be integrated into themselves to repair their life essence and prolong their lifespan."
Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded. Did this mean he had struck it rich? Xue Di naturally noticed Huo Yuhao's surprise and shook her head with a wry smile. "This is not the kind of Life Ivy you are thinking of. It is its roots. Although the effect is not as exaggerated, it still contains a huge amount of life energy. Most importantly, the Life Ivy itself absorbs life energy by penetrating into the Life Crystal. Therefore, it has great benefits for filtering and storing life energy."
—That's good too. At least I've found a piece of life gold. The roots of this evergreen vine should be useful in the future.
"As for this—" Long Qiu'er looked at the little gorilla with the same disgust as Huo Yuhao, "If it really is a Behemoth as Xue Di said, then it is useless to you and me."
"A Behemoth? What's that?"
There are almost no records of Behemoths in human history; at least Huo Yuhao has never seen such a thing in ancient books.
Long Qiu'er stood up, walked to the sofa next to her, and sat down. "Tell us first how you got this thing?"
Huo Yuhao pursed his lips, thinking that telling the two of them shouldn't be a problem. Then he told them in detail how he obtained the antique gold coin at the Starlight Auction House.
Xue Di glanced meaningfully at Long Qiu'er, stood up, walked to Huo Yuhao's bed, sat down, and said to Huo Yuhao, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a royal member of the Behemoth lineage, a Golden Behemoth."
"In ancient times, when the earth's crust shifted, space seemed to crack open, and some strange creatures that did not originally belong to the Douluo Continent appeared."
"However, many creatures died because they couldn't adapt to the environment of Douluo Continent. In my memory, not many survived, but every one of them was an absolute powerhouse, possessing immense strength. Behemoth was the true king among them. It even earned a rather resounding nickname: the Dragon-Eating Beast!"
Huo Yuhao exclaimed, "Eat dragon beasts!"
He then realized what was happening and looked at the little gorilla with some apprehension. No wonder Long Qiu'er had said that earlier—
The Snow Empress nodded silently. "The adult Behemoth is extremely powerful. Even a 100,000-year-old soul beast is no match for it in a one-on-one fight. It especially likes to suck the blood of dragon-type soul beasts and eat their brains, thus earning the title of 'Dragon-Eating Beast.' Fortunately, the number of Dragon-Eating Beasts is extremely small, and they were eventually suppressed by the Beast King of the Dragon Clan. But it still left a very dark period in the history of the Dragon Clan's rule over soul beasts."
"Hiss—" Judging from this, this Behemoth cub is not a treasure found, but rather a troublesome fellow!
It is estimated that the Soul Masters during the Spirit Hall era discovered this little guy by chance, but they didn't know what it was. However, seeing that its bloodline was strong and its life force was extremely high, they used the roots of this Life Evergreen Ivy to make a woven bag to wrap it up.
Long Qiu'er stood up and walked to the bag, looking at the Behemoth cub inside with apprehension. "The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear among the later soul beasts actually has some Behemoth bloodline. But for you and me, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a natural enemy."
Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully. Since their bloodlines clashed, it definitely couldn't become a soul spirit. But should he just leave it alone? That wouldn't be appropriate either.
"Sigh, doesn't that mean—" Huo Yuhao blurted out, "this little thing is Xiong Jun's—ancestor?"
Long Qiu'er's expression turned strange. "Ancestor—"
That seems like a fair way to put it — I just wonder if Xiong Jun would mind having an ancestor who is hundreds of thousands of years younger than him.
Huo Yuhao was somewhat discouraged. "Never mind, let's put this little darling in this bag first. I guess the reason it's been able to survive for so long without suffocating is because of the life energy nurturing it in the roots of the Life Ivy."
Long Qiu'er thought for a moment and said, "I think Xiong Jun shouldn't mind this little guy. If you're willing, I can help you discuss it with Xiong Jun."
