Chapter 76: Absorbing a 30,000-Year-Old Dark Soul Bone.
The Red Guard Hunting Group's base.
"Bang!"
A corpse fell heavily in front of Morris.
"this..."
Morris stared in astonishment at the group that had just returned to their base.
"This is your enemy, the fake investor, who almost killed several of our team members."
Yu Xiaolie spoke in a somewhat calm tone.
"Damn it! Even after it died, I still carried it all the way!"
Hought was clearly very unhappy with Bruce and kicked him.
"This...you..."
Morris stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
He glanced at the Red Guard squad members with a somewhat complicated expression.
After the initial shock, I was even unsure of how I should feel.
The sugar daddy he introduced turned out to be his enemy, Bruce!
Bruce even nearly caused the deaths of these brothers.
Morris's gaze swept over each person.
Almost everyone had wounds and bloodstains on their bodies.
To Morris's astonishment, this small team with only one Soul King actually wiped out the Dragon Slayer Team!
Then, Yu Xiaolie took out a piece of his right leg bone.
Maurice was stunned as he stared at the jet-black soul bone floating in the air.
This is...
His soul remains!
The Red Guard squad didn't choose to devour the soul bone! Instead, they brought it back safely!
You must know, this is a soul bone that's been around for ten thousand years!
Something that's incredibly rare and hard to come by!
"I'm sorry, I didn't have direct contact with him; I went through an intermediary… This matter is my fault."
Morris was silent for a moment before speaking, "And... thank you."
"What's done is done, and an apology won't help."
Yu Xiaolie's tone remained calm, "Back then, he dug the soul bone out of your body. Now, his corpse, and this soul bone, are being returned to you."
Upon hearing Yu Xiaolie's words, Haote finally understood why Yu Xiaolie had brought the body back as well.
When everyone heard that Yu Xiaolie had returned the soul bone to Morris, their pupils dilated in shock.
He could have easily taken it for himself! But he didn't.
This event had the greatest impact on Haote, the youngest child.
Morris's hands trembled as he accepted the soul bone, his heart filled with emotion.
This soul bone has both helped and harmed him.
"Alright, wounded brothers, hurry up and get treated, and don't let any of these wounds fester."
After his initial reaction, Morris quickly arranged for the wounded to receive treatment.
"Xiao Lie, come with me for a moment."
Morris gestured for Yu Xiaolie to follow him into the office.
Morris walked behind his seat, unlocked a cabinet, and looked at Yu Xiaolie with a somewhat wistful expression.
He knew that the soul bone was able to return to his hands because of Yu Xiaolie.
Humans are inherently greedy, especially those who work in hunting squads.
They're capable of maiming their teammates and extracting their bones.
Not to mention stealing the soul bone.
"Xiao Lie, do you still remember the escort mission you carried out for me two years ago?"
Yu Xiaolie was a little confused as to why Morris suddenly brought this up.
"Do you know what you were escorting back then?"
Morris took a wooden box out of the cabinet.
This box looks very ordinary, but it seems to contain something—an item with powerful energy.
This thing is the very box that Yu Xiaolie escorted back then.
Yu Xiaolie had a rough idea of what it was.
He had his own guesses at the time, since people are naturally curious.
However, he did not delve into it, but instead focused on carrying out his mission.
This thing, just for escorting, is worth 20,000 gold soul coins, not to mention...
"This is very valuable."
Morris smiled, but when he smiled, the scar on his face was pulled up, making him look somewhat ferocious. "Take a look."
As Morris spoke, he opened the box.
The moment it was opened, Yu Xiaolie could feel the powerful energy fluctuations emanating from the box.
As the wooden box was fully opened, Yu Xiaolie was able to see what was inside.
A piece of right leg bone!
This right leg bone is entirely ice-blue, and the aura emanating from it is extremely powerful.
Morris took the soul bone out of the wooden box and gently placed it on the table.
Then, he placed the dark-colored soul bone that Yu Xiaolie had brought back on the table as well.
The two right leg bones were presented side by side in front of Yu Xiaolie.
The black piece was obtained from a dark-type soul beast in the Frozen Forest, and Yu Xiaolie had experienced its soul bone technique firsthand.
The piece taken out of the wooden box was clearly hunted from an ice-attribute soul beast.
Morris said with a sigh, "Ever since I was harmed and abandoned by those bastards, I was in a state of depression for a long time."
"Because after my soul bone was removed, I not only became crippled, but my soul power cultivation was also greatly reduced, making me a useless person. In addition, I was separated from the team..."
Morris's current mood is somewhat different from when he mentioned the Dragon Slayer Squad two years ago.
Now that the great revenge has been achieved, it's as if we're looking back on the past.
"Later, I decided to pull myself together and find an opportunity to take revenge."
"After my good brother found out, he asked you to bring me this soul bone."
Morris pointed to the blue right leg bone in front of him.
A ten-thousand-year-old soul bone is at the level that can turn even brothers into enemies.
However, Maurice's good friend gave it to Maurice without saying a word.
"However, I did not absorb the second soul bone; instead, I chose the current method."
Morris continued, "Fortunately, with you by our side, the Crimson Guard Hunting Group is gradually becoming the leading Soul Master mercenary group in the Frozen Forest."
"More importantly, you helped me kill him."
At this point, Morris paused.
"Pick one, consider it my farewell gift to you."
Looking at Morris in front of him, Yu Xiaolie's expression was somewhat complicated.
The man in front of me has truly experienced great ups and downs.
He was once a core member of the top-ranked hunting team, but was later persecuted and fell into despair.
Now, he has reached the peak of his career.
Yu Xiaolie truly admired such a person.
No longer refusing, she prepared to accept Maurice's gift.
But looking at the two soul bones in front of him, Yu Xiaolie hesitated.
How to choose? This question plunged him into a brief moment of contemplation.
"What? You look down on me?"
Seeing that Yu Xiaolie was still hesitating, Morris immediately started to tease him.
"No, no."
Yu Xiaolie waved his hand, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the two soul bones in front of him.
Finally, it seemed as if they had made up their minds.
Thank you.
Yu Xiaolie picked up the 30,000-year-old dark-type soul bone.
"Alright, then you can absorb it here."
Morris looked somewhat surprised.
He had assumed that Yu Xiaolie would choose another ice-attribute soul bone.
Although the age difference is slightly less, he felt that Yu Xiaolie was more suitable.
However, this was Yu Xiaolie's choice, and Morris did not interfere.
"Perfect, it should still be safe in my office."
Thank you.
Yu Xiaolie expressed his gratitude once again, then sat down on the spot and began to absorb the soul bone.
As soon as he sat down to absorb the energy, Yu Xiaolie could feel the dark aura within the soul bone.
The energy within the soul bone began to be slowly drawn in and absorbed by Yu Xiaolie.
And this soul bone slowly began to fuse with Yu Xiaolie's right leg bone.
During this period, Yu Xiaolie could clearly feel the improvement in his soul power.
For the past three years, Yu Xiaolie has been increasing his soul power but has not absorbed any soul rings. In fact, he himself is not sure what level his soul power has reached. He is just waiting to absorb a soul ring.
Now, this soul bone is not only an improvement in his soul power, but more importantly, it contains dark attributes.
This is the key reason why Yu Xiaolie chose this soul bone.
As Yu Xiaolie slowly absorbed and integrated the energy, he could also feel a trace of dark energy appearing within his body.
However, thanks to the dragon cub's balance, the two completely opposite forces of darkness and light did not clash.
Instead, the dragon cubs managed to maintain a good balance and coexistence.
