The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 976 - 384: Descendant of the Grey God_2

The Corpse Shura Girl continued on without pause.

As expected, the tailbone was connected to the spine, like a stone pillar lying horizontally, the entire length exceeding three hundred meters.

The top was evenly placed with palm-sized boxes, some of the lids had already been opened, but many were intact and new, still gathering a treasure light.

"What deliciousness is this?" GuaGua asked curiously.

This time it transmitted a range-type mental fluctuation, after hearing it, the Rakshasa Woman did not dare to underestimate, and replied as usual:

"The boxes contain the bodies of stone spirits, these creatures are very strange, born with the ’Heaven and Earth Stage,’ but they will never be able to advance to ’Unlimited Foetus’ in their lifetime."

"They lack intelligence and draw the energy to survive by basking in sunlight."

"They have no other desires either, within their daily realm, as long as their living place is hidden enough and untouched by other creatures, a stone spirit can easily live for ten thousand years."

"Such long-lived creatures, in reference to their rank, even the corpse owner would sigh ’There is no wonder in the world that does not exist.’"

Ye Hanjun nodded slightly, and muttered to himself:

"I have heard of stone spirits, at mid to high ranks, they are typically harmless to humans and animals."

"But this is my first time hearing that stone spirits are edible."

Hearing this, the Rakshasa Woman immediately stopped the corpse boat.

She opened a box and patiently explained:

"When a stone spirit is alive, eating it will burst your stomach, so as time goes by, it will not be treated as food by beasts."

"But after death, if their corpse chunks are ground into powder, and one licks a tiny amount each time, it helps replenish the life elements lacking inside the body, and for nearby ranks, it’s considered a pretty good nourishing delicacy."

"Let me try."

Ye Hanjun dipped his finger into a small amount of the powder and placed it in his mouth to taste.

After a hint of bitterness, he frowned and fell silent.

A tiny surge of energy indeed penetrated his abdomen.

But largely because of his ’Flesh Furnace,’ such a small amount of energy was of no value to him, not even enough to be called better than nothing.

"It seems it does not suit our guest’s taste, this lowly one recommends other choices for you."

The Corpse Shura Girl put down the box and maneuvered the corpse boat straight into the depths.

Then, Ye Hanjun saw that there had always been various sizes of carcasses serving as dining tables.

There were oil lamps made from giant heads, and Beastman arm bones turned into knives and forks, a scene filled with wildness but not too bloody, flashing before his eyes again and again.

Of course, most notable were the plates made of fish scales.

Just any one of them was bigger than a human face; if their original owners were still alive, they would have been able to swallow them all whole.

"This is the Stinking King of Chickens, smelly to the nose but delicious to the taste. Those who like to eat rotten flesh definitely can’t miss it."

"This is Spicy Sauce Octopus, brought all the way from the Pepper Sea by merchants, it can enhance strength after consumption."

"Thief Shark, the assassin of the sea, loves to steal shiny things the most. Its corpse, rotted for a year and fully fermented before eating, has a crisp and numbing texture, with a straightforward taste, highly recommended."

...

Ye Hanjun—in a very solid and real way—experienced the flavors of the West Sea.

He did not rashly consume any of the random rotten corpses; those were prepared for other Fond Spirits.

But when they passed by a carcass named "Mighty Mammoth Snake," he pursed his lips and requested to taste it.

"Tear! Tear!!"

The Corpse Shura Girl carefully cut off two pieces of meat, placed them on a plate, and handed them to both Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying.

The two pressed down on it with specially made bone forks and stuffed it in their mouths, as an overwhelming coldness penetrated their viscera.

"Ah... Achoo!"

Ye Liuying sneezed, never having had a cold before, her nose dripping with a string of clear snot.

After she clumsily wiped it clean, she immediately glared at Ye Hanjun.

"Don’t look at me, this thing is too rare, tasting it certainly can’t hurt."

Ye Hanjun licked his cold lips, his eyes sparkling brightly, his demeanor animated.

Ancient Era—Mighty Mammoth Snake!

This turned out to be the carcass of a Holy Beast, and moreover, it was brought up from the Ice Calm Abyss!

It had once been buried under the eternal ice and snow, dying silently because it could not break the eternal ice’s seal.

But most of the Life Essence within its body was preserved.

If they could consume it long-term, the growth of Goose Immortal, Huazhu, and Lan Qixiong would certainly accelerate.

"My lord, there is no need for restraint, all who come are guests, and should naturally eat and drink their fill."

The perceptive Corpse Shura Girl immediately bowed towards the ceiling.

A giant spider descended along its web, its sharp Spider Spear cutting through the ice, directly chopping off one tenth of the Mighty Mammoth Snake’s body.

"Eat up, eat up, fill your belly... "

The giant spider climbed back to the top of the den, and in the darkness, the persistent rustling sounds continued.

"Swhoosh, swhoosh, swhoosh!"

Marks lit up, and Huazhu, Goose Immortal, and Lan Qixiong made their appearances in succession.

The Goose Immortal reacted the fastest, aiming for the cold carcass of the snake, immediately perceiving it as a good thing.

"Hss!!"

Xiaoxiong was the wildest, knowing that it was also a snake, but it ignored this fact completely.

In fact, without even thinking about whether or not to share, it instinctively wanted to hoard it all for itself.

But because the chunk of meat was too large, and too cold to the touch.

Xiaoxiong was forced to take a bite, tearing the snake carcass before it finally got to enjoy its feast.

"Free Holy Beast meat, who’s so generous?"

Goose Immortal began to compete with Xiaoxiong for the meat, while sharing some with Huazhu.

In the end, it got into a fight with Xiaoxiong, ending up bruised and battered, spattered with blood.

The three Corpse Shura Girls... secretly swallowed their saliva.

While Mu Shoucong was a Holy Beast, it did not deliberately exert the pressure of a higher rank.

Ye Hanjun, even more so, concealed all his Ability, not daring to reveal even a hint.

But Goose Immortal and Xiaoxiong alone were unruly and wild characters.
