Chapter 86 What a huge loss! A 100,000-year-old left arm bone and a 100,000-year-old head soul bone!
Inside the cave, a huge iron cage locked Xiao Wu inside.
"Xiao Wu, we meet again."
For three years, Xiao Wu was mostly in a coma. At this moment, she was extremely exhausted and looked at Dugu Bo and his grandson with a face full of resentment.
Dugu Bo looked down at Xiao Wu, narrowed his eyes, and said, "No matter how much you resent us, grandfather and grandson, it's no use! You're just a mere level fifteen Soul Master!"
Three years have passed. Xiao Wu secretly cultivates during her waking hours, but her soul power increases very slowly. After deducting the one-level soul power increase from the soul ring, she has only increased her soul power by four levels in three years.
"Dugu Bo, I curse you and your grandson to die a horrible death!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo frowned slightly, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Dugu Lin quickly said, "If curses were effective, what would be the point of cultivation? If you want someone to die, you can just stay at home and curse them every day."
"You...."
Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, remained silent for a long time, and then asked, "You've come here again to make me sacrifice myself? Heh~ Let me tell you, dream on! Even if it means death, I will not sacrifice myself!"
"I can already absorb a 100,000-year soul ring without your sacrifice!"
"What?" Xiao Wu looked at Dugu Lin in surprise, somewhat doubtful.
"I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Don't worry, I'll give you a quick death! By the way, I had no choice but to keep you locked up in this iron cage for the past three years. Please understand."
After saying this, Dugu Lin took out a dagger and was about to stab Xiao Wu in the chest.
"Wait a moment!"
"Any last words?"
"I...I...Are you trying to scare me again? Just to force me to make a sacrifice! Right?"
Dugu Lin recalled that he had indeed scared Xiao Wu at the beginning, and even made her faint.
With a wry smile, Dugu Lin shook his head and said, "What good would it do to lie to you? There's no need for that anymore! My current physical strength is indeed enough to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring. I won't waste a single one of your soul rings or soul bones."
"I..." Xiao Wu felt a little flustered. Her intuition told her that Dugu Lin was not lying to her this time!
I've lived a life of ignominy for three years, living in constant fear and always looking for a chance to escape. I've endured three years of suffering, but why am I still going to die in the end?
Xiao Wu was extremely unwilling!
The hatred is real! And the desire not to die is also real! I used to be fearless in the face of death, and even considered suicide! But now, the will to live has quietly begun to sprout!
"Is there anything else you want to say? You really can. I've told you before, I'm really a good person! If you don't believe me, ask my grandpa."
Xiao Wu: "..."
Would it be helpful to ask your grandfather?
"I...I can offer myself as a sacrifice to you!"
"What did you say?"
Dugu Lin and Dugu Bo were both stunned. Where were they all this time? Only now, at the last minute, do they think of struggling to make a sacrifice?
"There's no need."
"It's...necessary!"
Xiao Wu was somewhat agitated, with a strong will to survive. She clenched her little fists and said, "A 100,000-year-old soul beast will definitely drop its soul bone upon death! Moreover, it will absolutely not conflict with the soul bones that a soul master already possesses!"
"I know."
"You know?" Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, then continued, "That's not what I wanted to say. What I wanted to say is that if you kill me now, there's a greater chance you'll lose my limbs' soul bones! If I sacrifice myself, I can condense a piece of the most precious torso bone! This is the torso bone of a 100,000-year-old soul beast! I don't need to elaborate on the value of a torso soul bone. You just need to let my soul reside in a soul ring, and when there's an opportunity later... to resurrect me..."
Xiao Wu became less and less confident as she spoke. How difficult it was to revive a sacrificial soul beast! What value did she have that would make a human soul master want to revive her?
"Torso bone!"
Dugu Bo was somewhat tempted and turned to look at Dugu Lin.
At this moment, Dugu Lin frowned, suddenly pounded his chest and exclaimed, "Damn! We've lost a lot!"
"What's wrong, Lin'er?"
Dugu Lin was always very emotionally stable and never used foul language.
Now, however, he was in excruciating pain, cursing and saying, "Grandpa, I now possess the soul skill of limb regeneration! If all four of my limbs absorb soul bones, and then I go and kill that 100,000-year-old Crimson Spirit Python, wouldn't the soul bones that drop be either head soul bones or torso bones?! Damn it! What a huge loss!"
The value of a 100,000-year-old torso bone is at least more than double that of a 100,000-year-old left arm bone!
Even if it's not a torso bone that drops, a head soul bone is still 70-80% more valuable than a limb soul bone!
"That's right! How come I didn't think of that?"
Dugu Bo was filled with regret, so much so that he wanted to slap himself.
Dugu Lin said with deep regret, "And I only suffered a little pain when the soul bone was being separated at the end! Damn it! Why didn't I think of that sooner?"
Pain? What's so special about that? Is there any soul ring that absorbs a spirit ring beyond its lifespan and still feels pain?
As for the loss of soul power level after the soul bone is removed, that's not important at all.
Dugu Lin's options for the second spirit ring start from the third and fourth rings, and all the later ones are ferocious beasts with sufficient spirit power!
...
Sacrifice is out of the question; it's impossible for Xiao Wu to sacrifice herself.
If she were truly sacrificed, would she be resurrected after becoming a god? Resurrecting her would be purely irritating. Not resurrecting her would be breaking a promise! Dugu Lin has always presented himself as a good person, so the possibility of breaking a promise must be eliminated from the outset.
With a flick of his sleeve, a stream of poison instantly knocked Xiao Wu unconscious.
Then, it took three days to collect three soul bones: the right arm bone of an 11,000-year-old demonic saber-toothed tiger, the left arm soul bone of a 3,000-year-old demonic saber-toothed tiger, and a 10,000-year-old strength-type left leg soul bone.
All three soul bones and the right leg of the Blue Silver Emperor have been collected, and all four limb soul bones are now complete!
Dugu Lin took one last look at the unconscious Xiao Wu and killed her with his soul power!
Beside him, Dugu Bo excitedly muttered to himself, "Next, let's see what kind of soul bone we can get!"
Soon, a red spirit ring slowly took shape!
At the same moment, Xiao Wu's body underwent a huge change, transforming into the corpse of a giant rabbit that was ten meters long.
"Grandpa, she is now in your care. Keep her spirit and give her body a proper burial. Since she is dead, let's leave her with some dignity in the end."
"You focus on absorbing the spirit ring; leave the rest to Grandpa."
While Dugu Lin was absorbing the spirit ring, Dugu Bo obtained a 100,000-year-old Soft-Boned Charming Rabbit head soul bone!
"Head bone?"
After digging a large pit and burying the body, Dugu Bo held the head soul bone and muttered to himself.
Needless to say, head soul bones are definitely more precious than limb soul bones, but Dugu Bo is in a bit of a dilemma.
If it were the torso bone, Dugu Bo wanted his granddaughter to absorb it, because the Soul Bone Skill of the Soft-Boned Charming Rabbit was quite good.
However, as a head soul bone... if it doesn't have a spiritual attribute, then its attributes are rather poor! What if it also gains a charm skill...?
Dugu Bo wouldn't even dare to dream of it!
In short, he was somewhat hesitant about whether or not to let his granddaughter absorb this head bone.
"I wonder if there will be other opportunities in the future... Oh well, I'll keep the soul bone for now and deal with it later."
