Chapter 17: Treasure Techniques

Chapter 17: Treasure Techniques

A beast like the Suan Ni (a mythical creature) is fearsome beyond measure; even in death, it is worth a fortune. Its entire body can be considered a treasure, and who wouldn't want to obtain it?

“It really makes people envious; I wish I could go there immediately to obtain its true blood and primal treasure symbols,” some of the younger members of the clan said, eager to take action.

“Even if that Suan Ni is aging, it is still beyond our capability to handle. We must not act recklessly; we need to wait patiently,” the clan leader warned with a serious expression.

“Haha, the gains this time are substantial. It must be said that Little Bit (a nickname for the protagonist) has made a significant contribution. Without him, we would have certainly faced a bloody conflict,” some clan members praised.

“Yiya,” Little Bit showed an embarrassed expression, scratching his head, and called out to Zi Yun, Da Peng, and Xiao Qing before running off into the distance.

“Boom.”

A giant bird swooped down from the clouds, its scales glistening with a cold light. It was the Azure Scaled Eagle, carrying a massive Fire Rhinoceros, which it dropped with a thunderous sound outside the village. It brought a huge prey every so often.

By now, the hatchling had been born for almost two months. Its size had grown to about 2.5 meters, becoming increasingly robust and powerful, and it was fluttering its wings, almost able to fly.

“Little Zi, you all need to grow quickly so you can take me to explore the depths of the mountains,” Little Bit said, hugging their necks and fluttering his big eyes with hope. Then, he began exploring the primal treasure symbols of the three hatchlings, researching the unique mystical power of their race.

“Buzz.”

A soft vibration caused a silver moon to appear in his palm, gentle and holy, casting down a sprinkling of light. The silver moon then rose, hovering behind his head and making Little Bit appear extraordinarily divine.

The last time he fought against Bei Feng, he had only integrated this primal treasure symbol into his palm and hadn’t used the complete silver moon against the enemy. Otherwise, its power would have been even greater.

The silver moon spun, moving around him, its pure white light making Little Bit look indescribably holy.

“Yiya, I’ve figured out a bit more. In the palace on the moon, there’s a giant bird. Could it be that it is the primordial magical bird of Zi Yun and Da Peng?” Shi Hao muttered to himself in confusion.

The silver moon featured a tree and a palace with intricate patterns. Now, Little Bit’s research on the Secret Bone Treasure Book had improved, and he could see some details more clearly.

He sent out the silver moon, which was now clear and bright. From the palace within, a bird's cry was heard, and the tree swayed, casting more light.

This didn’t resemble a symbol-constructed silver moon because it was too real. It looked more like a divine moon from the heavens, vivid and lifelike.

“Clang.”

A metallic sound rang out as if an ancient treasure had been unearthed and was once again shining brightly.

The silver moon spun around a giant rock about five or six meters long. With a “crack,” it sliced through the rock, leaving a smooth and even surface. It didn’t lose momentum but rushed forward again, slicing through two more giant rocks before dimming.

“Wow, last time it only broke one giant rock, but now it has directly cut through three. That’s impressive,” Little Bit exclaimed in surprise, his mouth wide open.

The silver moon had become much denser than before. The internal symbols flickered, and the palace and ancient tree were faintly visible, vivid and realistic, greatly enhancing its power.

“Little Bit is amazing. He can actually produce such a moon disc. I think it’s enough to handle those primordial beasts in the mountains,” some children said with admiration.

“Hmm, this shows how terrifying the ancient magical birds were. If the legacy marks were complete, it would definitely be a divine technique. Even so, it’s still quite rare,” the clan leader said.

Such a powerful attack method can be called a treasure technique, and it is a secret art cherished by major clans.

“After many years, our clan finally has a treasure technique,” some elders were very excited.

This kind of treasure technique is generally possessed by a powerful race. If not for Little Bit raising the Azure Scaled Eagle and observing and studying it up close, it would have been impossible to obtain.

“I wonder what has happened to the Suan Ni in the mountains. If it really dies of old age, obtaining its primal remains would mean acquiring another terrifying treasure technique,” said Shi Yunfeng.

“The more powerful the ancient remnant species, the less they will allow their clan's secrets to be leaked, especially the primal symbols on their bones, which may be destroyed before death,” Shi Yunfeng frowned and said.

Because of this, primal treasure symbols are extremely rare, as they represent the powerful legacy of a race and might contain a treasure technique.

“I hope the Suan Ni doesn’t destroy its treasure bones. It’s truly an ancient remnant species, and any treasure technique it holds must be extraordinary,” said Shi Linhu.

The clan leader shook his head and said, “Don’t be too greedy. It’s already good enough for our clan to unexpectedly obtain one treasure technique.”

Four days later, a thunderous roar shook the mountains and valleys, causing all beasts to tremble and kneel, with birds fleeing into the sky. Rocks tumbled and trees swayed as the entire forest trembled.

The Suan Ni had come out of the depths of the mountains and reached the outer regions, nearing death and searching for a burial place, its power was terrifying.

“It is really about to die; it might be in the next couple of days.”

The entire Stone Village was shaken. If they could obtain the Suan Ni’s remains, it would be a tremendous treasure. Its true blood would be extraordinarily effective; it was a genuine medicine of the blood.

“Hmm, it’s truly an ancient remnant species. If the bloodline is pure enough, perhaps Little Bit’s true blood from the five-year-old baptism might have fallen upon it,” even Shi Yunfeng couldn’t remain calm, walking back and forth, his expression excited, wishing he could obtain it immediately.

“Have people keep a close watch. Let’s prepare and be ready to set out at any time,” some elders could no longer sit still, feeling nervous, excited, and anxious.

As for Shi Linhu, Shi Feijiao, and other young adults, they were even more breathless, their eyes nearly red.

“I saw it. That Suan Ni has torn apart many ferocious beasts, turning that area of the forest into a forbidden zone, with no traces of birds or beasts.”

A day later, a clan member returned to the village to report. Standing on a peak, he had witnessed the terrifying scene from afar.

The clan leader Shi Yunfeng suddenly turned around and said, “Let’s go. We need to start moving, but we must be cautious and on guard. There will likely be other beasts and villages competing for it.”

“Grandpa clan leader, I want to go too,” Little Bit volunteered.

The clan members had no objections. His combat strength was indeed terrifying. Although he was small, he had already mastered a treasure technique and could display great power in critical moments.

“Chirp chirp.”

Da Peng, Xiao Qing, and A Zi came up to him, rubbing their heads against his arm to show affection and also wanting to go.

“Be good. Don’t make trouble. The mountains are very dangerous. You’re not grown up yet and can’t risk going. Wait for me at home, and when I come back, I’ll take you to catch dragon fish.”

Shi Hao comforted the three hatchlings while reminding them to persuade the Azure Scaled Eagle to help later. Searching for the Suan Ni’s corpse might be very dangerous, and having a powerful ferocious bird’s assistance would make it much smoother.

“Let’s go, into the mountains.”

A group of people set off grandly, heading towards the Suan Ni’s chosen burial site.

“Boom.”

The ground shook, and the deep mountains seemed to experience a massive earthqua



"Clan leader, the Suan Ni's lifespan has ended. Before it died, it entered a cave and caused it to collapse," a clan member came running from the front, reporting the situation urgently and loudly.

"Move quickly, charge!" Shi Yunfeng roared.
