Chapter 577

"If Miss Raiden wants to forge a weapon using the bones of a fierce beast, that is not a difficult task."

"Although I personally feel it would be better to wait until Miss Raiden joins the Shushan Sect to pursue a Dharma Treasure, Dharma Treasures are, after all, very hard to come by."

"Using some fierce beast weapons in the early stages is also acceptable."

"However, the leg bones of the Mang-Tooth Elephant are not the most perfect material. The most perfect forging material on its body should be its tusks."

Hearing this, Raiden narrowed her eyes and looked at the tusks, which shimmered like gold and jade.

Under the sunlight, they were crystal clear, with strands of flowing golden threads inside.

They were likely Qi that had condensed into a physical substance.

Using this as a material for forging a weapon—one could tell even with their toes that the resulting weapon would likely exceed one's imagination.

"But... this Mang-Tooth Elephant only has two tusks."

Raiden looked at Jiang Xue and the others with some hesitation. In her view, she hadn't helped much, merely providing assistance from the sidelines.

This matter was handled very well by Delamont.

There were only two tusks in total; it would be too excessive for her to take one away.

Moreover, she always felt that Jiang Xue and the others were giving it to her out of respect for Alice.

But Jiang Xue smiled and shook his head.

"Miss Raiden, do not worry. The size of these tusks is not limited to forging only two weapons."

"Besides, everyone agrees that if it weren't for Miss Raiden's help this time, we might have suffered heavy losses."

Raiden said helplessly:

"There is no need to say such things. Even without me, your grand formation would have been enough to suppress this fierce beast."

"That cannot be said."

Delamont refuted firmly:

"Activating the grand formation requires spirit stones. Such treasures, which only cultivators can possess, are completely non-renewable resources for us."

"We would rather sacrifice ourselves than waste any more spirit stones."

Seeing this, Raiden no longer declined.

From the bottom of her heart, she was still very curious about what kind of weapon could be forged using the tusks of a Mang-Tooth Elephant.

Looking at the busy martial artists, the fierce beast was also being cut into pieces of fragrant meat bit by bit.

Raiden couldn't help but feel some emotion in her heart.

Bones, fur, flesh, internal organs...

Everything could help people improve their strength. What kind of fierce beast was this? It was clearly a mountain of gold and silver!

Thinking about it, the martial arts strength of Shushan Village was so powerful precisely because they had more fierce beast resources.

Cultivating martial arts, this mysterious system, was different from technology.

Technology requires breakthroughs in technique, while cultivation requires resources.

Clearly, fierce beasts were the best resources.

It seemed that if she wanted to promote martial arts in the Honkai world, she would also need a large amount of fierce beast resources; otherwise, the progress of martial arts would be very slow.

However, these fierce beast resources were not things that could be easily obtained.

To obtain more, one had to join the Shushan Sect.

Moreover, the fierce beasts within the Shushan world could not be hunted in large quantities for her; these were the property of Shushan.

The martial artists of Shushan Village needed them, and many cultivators would also occasionally have a feast.

Suddenly, Raiden's heart stirred, as if she had thought of something.

She looked at Yinger and said:

"Miss Yinger, I heard that the recovery of spiritual energy has descended upon Liyue, giving birth to many fierce beasts?"

"That's right. The descent of Shushan brought about the recovery of spiritual energy. Nowadays, the progress of this recovery has accelerated, and I hear it has already spread to Mondstadt and Sumeru."

"Some weaker evolved creatures have appeared, but as for fierce beasts, they are currently still gathered in large numbers in Jueyun Karst."

"After all, only Jueyun Karst is the region with the densest spiritual energy."

Raiden pursed her lips and asked again:

"So, is it because of the recovery of spiritual energy that there are so many fierce beasts in Liyue, which has accelerated the improvement of the martial artists' strength?"

"You could say that. The recovery of spiritual energy has both advantages and disadvantages. The crises in the wild of Teyvat have indeed increased, but at the same time, it has given ordinary people more possibilities to transcend."

Yinger's answer provided Raiden with solutions to various troubles in her heart.

To expand martial arts in the Honkai world, there must be spiritual energy, and spiritual energy is actually easy to deal with.

This power is everywhere; even after becoming a cultivator, one can actively trigger it.

What remains is the fierce beast resources to promote the development of martial arts.

This point can also be solved by stimulating the recovery of spiritual energy.

As for the harm brought by the recovery of spiritual energy...

There is already Honkai anyway; another recovery of spiritual energy wouldn't make much difference.

What's more, when Honkai beasts and fierce beasts meet, who knows, maybe the fierce beasts could solve the trouble for them.

Raiden would rather the Honkai world be full of fierce beasts; at least fierce beasts are treasures from head to toe, and their desire for destruction is not as high as that of Honkai beasts.

Like the situation just now, if it had been a Judgement-class Honkai beast, it wouldn't have cared whether they shifted the battlefield or not.

As Honkai beasts whose mission is to destroy civilization, their primary target would definitely be the destruction of the Shushan vehicle.

Thinking about it this way, Raiden was actually willing to catalyze the recovery of spiritual energy in the Honkai world.

These mysterious creatures are also excellent research materials. Who knows, maybe Einstein and the others could research some kind of fierce beast armor?

However, these were all Raiden's unrealistic fantasies.

For one, she was not a cultivator, and for another, she had no way to return to the Honkai world.

It was still too early to think about these things.

While her mind was wandering, before long, the dissection of the fierce beast had reached the stage of the internal organs.

With such a large fierce beast, it was certainly unrealistic to finish dissecting it all today.

Considering that if a fierce beast dies without proper preservation, its spiritual power will definitely slowly dissipate.

Whenever any fierce beast dies, the most precious essence must be taken out first.

That is, the internal organs.

The meat on the four legs and the meat on the abdomen and back can be cut today, and the rest should be resolved within three days.

Although the fierce beast meat after three days will also lose a large amount of spiritual power.

However, the top priority is definitely the heart.

Everyone stood up and gathered around the fierce beast.

Raiden had originally thought that there would be a strong stench here, but unexpectedly, the dissected fierce beast was permeated with an intoxicating aura.

Raiden didn't know how to describe it; perhaps it should be called...

The attraction of life essence?

In any case, it smelled quite comfortable to her.

Seeing them come over, the martial artist leading the dissection of the fierce beast's internal organs nodded at them.

Then he ordered people to start working.

Observing from a close distance, Raiden finally knew what they were using to cut.

It was an extremely sharp bone knife, linked to a strange mechanical instrument.

There were many martial artists around the instrument, all attaching their internal power to the bone knife.

The bone knife, which was already as white as mutton-fat jade, even glowed with a radiance like the bright moon.

Raiden estimated that the sharpness of this thing was no less than the strongest laser cutter in the Honkai world.

But even so, when it touched the belly of the fierce beast, it felt a trace of resistance.

"It's really hard."

Raiden couldn't help but sigh, and Yinger beside her covered her mouth and chuckled.

"This is still considered good; these are all experiences we have summarized."

"The belly of most fierce beasts is the softest area, of course, that is not absolute."

"If you were to cut directly into the position where the heart of the Mang-Tooth Elephant is located, I'm afraid the bone knife would shatter."

"The protection of such vital areas is the hardest." ===== CHAPTER 578 =====
