Chapter 117: Dragon Tendon, Residual Bone

For several miles around, birds and beasts all fled.

The huge fish head and fish body separated, and blood flowed into the lake, making Liang Qu's heart ache. So much blood, if all let the Sky-Water Centipede drink it, wouldn't it take off on the spot?

Yang Dongxiong stood in the chaotic stones, took out a piece of silk to wipe the sword, applied oil, and sheathed the sword.

"Alright, everyone come down!"

Liang Qu couldn't wait to jump into the lake, climbed onto the stone platform, and observed the huge corpse of the Sturgeon King.

Even though it was dead, the corpse still emitted a thick pressure, making it difficult for ordinary people to get close.

Sixty meters, at least a thousand tons, couldn't be finished, so it had to be sent to the ice cellar.

The best choice is to sell most of it and keep a small part, eating it all before it rots.

"This Sturgeon King is quite good at enjoying itself, building a nest for itself?" Xu Zishuai looked around, expressing amazement at the Sturgeon King's wisdom.

Yang Dongxiong shouted: "Don't worry about that, come over and give a hand first, take out the most important dragon tendon!"

Sturgeon large tendon is the most essential part of the whole body's flesh and blood.

The large tendon of a monster-level sturgeon is enough to make people live longer, so it is also called dragon tendon.

Taking the dragon tendon is the most anticipated part, and everyone excitedly divided the fish corpse.

Liang Qu inserted the Green Wolf into the fish skin, hacking until he was panting, but the effect was minimal, only drawing a small cut of less than one centimeter.

The fish skin was too hard.

Finally, Senior Martial Brother Yu Dun took action, dissecting the fish skin and fish meat, revealing the Sturgeon King's spine.

Yang Dongxiong reached inside and rummaged around, feeling a texture distinctly different from ordinary flesh and blood; he grabbed it and pulled outward with force.

"It's out, it's out."

"Why is it so thin?"

"The color is a bit wrong, completely different from the records in the books. Shouldn't it be milky white?"

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the large tendon Yang Dongxiong pulled out was pale gold throughout, only the thickness of a human wrist.

Ordinary dragon tendons are as white as jade, but the one in front of them, why is it pale gold?

Not to mention the size of the Sturgeon King in front of them, proportionally speaking, the large tendon should be as thick as a human waist, so why did it shrink?

The moment the large tendon was revealed, the Sky-Water Centipede on Liang Qu's wrist transmitted an extremely strong desire to devour.

The small fish that luckily didn't die in the lake jumped onto the platform one after another, struggling to get close to the Sturgeon King's corpse.

That is the most primitive attraction of life!

It is the oasis that desert travelers crave most!

Yang Dongxiong, who was holding the tendon head, was incredulous at the scene in front of him. He never expected to pull such a thing out of the Sturgeon King's body.

"This is not a sturgeon large tendon, it's half a dragon tendon..."

Everyone was shocked, and doubts arose.

"Dragon tendon?"

"How could it be a dragon tendon?"

"Why would a sturgeon have a dragon tendon?"

The large tendon in a sturgeon's body is called dragon tendon; that's just a nice name, it's fake. How could they have really grabbed a dragon tendon now?

"It's not a complete dragon tendon, but it definitely carries dragon-species Qi; otherwise, it wouldn't have such a strong attraction." Yang Dongxiong pointed to the big fish jumping in the lake.

Their performance was simply like they were crazy.

Liang Qu didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked. He speculated, "Does it have something to do with why the sturgeon curled up?"

A sixty-meter great monster living in a small lake with a width of only half a mile is very suspicious. The whole proportion is like a cat drilling into a cardboard box.

He suspected from the beginning that there was something in the lake attracting the Sturgeon King, which was why it was so willing to live in it.

"Eight or nine out of ten. Let's go down and take a look."

Yang Dongxiong stuffed the tendon head into the fish body. With the flesh and blood as an obstruction, the fish in the lake calmed down.

Everyone came to the palace, entered through the gaps in the stone pillars, went all the way down, and made an amazing discovery at a depth of two hundred meters from the ground.

A broken, huge beast bone lay flat in the water, covered in holes, emitting a decaying aura.

In the long river of history, this huge beast bone had long since lost any vitality.

Yang Dongxiong pulled the residual bone out of the silt, searched around for a while, confirmed there was nothing else, and left the bottom of the water with it, returning to the stone platform in front of the "palace."

Xu Zishuai looked at the huge residual bone and scratched his ears and cheeks: "Master, what is this?"

Yang Dongxiong shook his head: "Can't tell, but I guess it might be a dragon bone..."

"Dragon bone?"

Liang Qu fell into deep thought.

If it really is a dragon bone, then the Sturgeon King's lingering makes sense, and it also fits the legend of the Over-Dragon River all along.

No wonder a monster was willing to shrink in this small lake, unwilling to leave, and why it could grow half a "dragon tendon" that didn't fit its identity!

"This sturgeon was probably very early on accidentally discovering this residual bone, continuously absorbing the residual nutrients in the dragon bone, and strengthening itself,"

Yang Dongxiong touched the residual bone, feeling no vitality; it was almost in a scrapped state.

A complete dragon bone would never naturally decay. The one in front of them was riddled with holes, and the good things inside were obviously sucked dry.

Relying only on a residual bone to forcefully raise a monster beast is not exaggerated.

If it were a complete dragon bone, wouldn't it be able to create one or two great monsters?

Plus dragon meat, dragon blood, it is truly a mobile treasure house.

Xiang Zhangsong didn't understand: "Then why didn't it take the residual bone away, but insisted on shrinking in this small place to absorb it?"

Yang Dongxiong pointed to the lake: "Did you see the scene where the dragon tendon was exposed just now? Everyone fell into madness!

The dragon-species Qi is too intense, and it has a fatal attraction to them. If the sturgeon had taken the residual bone back to the Jianghuai marshes, it would only have been torn to pieces by other monster beasts, and it would never have been its turn to swallow it alone.

We came very coincidentally. If it were a few months later, maybe this Sturgeon King would have sucked the dragon bone dry and returned to the marshes. At that time, the dragon would have returned to the sea, and there would be no way to find it.

It borrowed its half dragon tendon to slowly transform its whole body's bloodline. I really might not have been able to kill it."

In this situation, Liang Qu inexplicably thought of the fable where a fox drilled into a tree hole to eat meat, but because it ate too fat, it couldn't crawl out of the tree hole and was finally killed by the hunter.

After hearing this, everyone felt lucky and couldn't help but cast their eyes on Liang Qu.

Lu Gang never talked much, but at this time, he couldn't help but sigh: "Junior Martial Brother's good fortune is truly profound..."

If the dragon tendon were outside, the Entering Zhen Xiang Grandmaster would be moved, so how would it be their turn?

Without Liang Qu, such a heavy treasure could only be seen in books.

Everyone salvaged the remaining spirit monsters and extracted other large tendons; they couldn't waste them.

However, the most important thing was the Sturgeon King's large tendon that carried a trace of dragon-species Qi.

Yang Dongxiong pulled out the entire dragon tendon. Fortunately, the dragon tendon was thin but long enough, over thirty-seven meters, and one hand couldn't hold it.

He kicked a big fish that jumped over back into the river with one foot: "I'll take five and a half zhang, Liang Qu takes two and a half zhang, Yu Dun, Lu Gang, and Xu Zishuai each take one zhang, and the rest is three chi per person, how about that?"

Everyone had no opinion.

In the end, the one who exerted strength was the master alone. Liang Qu's contribution was greater, and the others were just here to give a hand.

Liang Qu felt that the thing was like picking it up for nothing. Giving a location information, and in one day, he had an extra two-and-a-half-zhang sturgeon dragon tendon in his hand.

Where else could you find such a good thing? ===== CHAPTER 118 =====
