Chapter 38: Enormous Harvest

  Huo Hai also knew that Ji Mu was a little afraid of Xiao Jin. Whoever saw Xiao Jin kill a Ling Beast with one bite of poison would feel afraid, no matter how cute he looked.

  He didn't intend to provoke Ji Mu, so Huo Hai casually fed Xiao Jin a mouthful of spiritual energy and then put him back into the pouch in his sleeve. After Xiao Jin left, Ji Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that out of sight meant out of mind. This way of thinking was actually quite similar to Huo Hai's self-deception method - both were cases of "what you don't see won't bother you".

  "Ho Hai, that's the insect that just poisoned the Dog King. Looking at it myself, it seems quite good-looking." Such a beautiful and lovely thing, its lethal power on women is extremely strong, even a woman with her own ideas like Ji Mu is no exception.

  If I hadn't known that thing was dangerous, it would have probably pounced on me just now. Huo Hai shook his head, this person is the same as his sister: "It's okay, as long as there's no hostility, Xiao Jin won't attack. At home, Xiao Jin has almost become Yun'er's pet." Yun'er, Ji Mu still remembered. She didn't have amnesia like Huo Hai.

  Besides, among the direct descendants of the Huo family, there are only two people, Huo Hai and Huo Yun'er. They can't be compared to the numerous children of other families. These two people will naturally attract attention from various families, and no one doesn't know them.

  Huoyun treats Xiaojin like a pet, it seems that her relationship with Huohai is not as close as his sister's. Ji Mu felt a sudden pang of sourness in her heart for no reason. If only she hadn't dodged earlier.

  "It was this after all, I didn't think that even the Star Insects couldn't bite through it." At this time, Huo Hai had already shifted his attention to the thing on the ground. The Star Insects bit with all their might, but could only leave some marks on its surface. This thing was the fur left behind by the Dog King. As for the Iron Armor Dog, the hardest part of its entire body was indeed its own fur.

  The star worms found different gaps on the poisoned dog king's body and gnawed their way in. However, the fur itself had no effect. Even if they bit hard, they could only shed some of the fur, nothing more.

  It seems that this time the luck is really good, and the sneak attack was successful. If it wasn't for Xiaojin's quick bite on the dog king's unprotected paw pads, if it were somewhere else, there would be no way to take a bite. At that time, the loss would have been even greater.

  If things go wrong, even one's own life will be threatened, and Huo Hai felt a mix of fear and relief in his heart.

  Ji Mu heard He Hai's words and finally woke up. The red glow on his face flashed by, as if nothing had happened: "So you call these beetles Xing Huang, what a strange name." Ji Mu heard He Hai's term for the Xing Huang, and his face showed some confusion. Little bug? Spirit Masters rarely have any interest in them. This name also doesn't feel right.

  Soon, Ji Mu's attention was on the fur on the ground: "Your luck is really good, Iron Armor Dog's fur, this thing is extremely hard. With a little processing, it becomes a low-grade Xuan-level armor. This set of armor, before Ling Jiang, didn't need to be changed at all." Under Xing Huang's mouth, this piece of fur only dropped some hair.

  Huo Hai had already ordered the Star Gu to stop. This thing, Huo Hai was also very interested in. After dealing with it for a while, his own abilities became even stronger. "What a pity, there's only this one layer of skin, I'm afraid it can only be used to make one item."

  Ji Mu flipped his eyelids and said discontentedly, "It's not that little. Who says the fur of an Iron Armor Hound can only make one suit of armor? After processing it, it can be divided into several layers. At least, it can make more than a dozen suits of armor."

  Making armor out of fur isn't as simple as Huo Hai thought, it requires professional craftsmen to layer them properly. For a dog king as large as him, making five sets of armor would be more than enough. Upon hearing this, Huo Hai had some ideas.

  "Since that's the case, can I ask for your help in making a suit of armor? Don't worry, you won't be doing it for nothing. For five suits of armor, I can give you one." Huo Hai's words made Ji Mu's eyes widen instantly. This was a Xuan-grade suit of armor, although it was only low-quality, but among the large families in the Western Frontier, it was still a rare and precious item that was hard to come by.

  "This guy, he's so casual about it, letting me make it: 'You, you're giving me something so precious, aren't you afraid I'll take it and not give it back to you?' What is this guy thinking, why does he always think differently from others?"

  Huo Hai flipped his eyelids: "Using one piece of fur to see through a person, isn't that good enough? Don't you even trust yourself? Besides, as the Dog King of the Spiritual Realm, if I can kill one, I can kill another." Huo Hai was full of confidence.

  Yes, with Huo Hai's abilities, this armor doesn't amount to much. Even without it, his ability to protect himself is still very strong. From the previous attack, you could see that those beetles were not ordinary. The sharpness of the Broken Spirit Arrows was easily deflected. This armor, for Huo Hai, really isn't anything special.

  But what's even more delightful is that Hao Hai actually believes in himself. Ji Mu walked up with a smile: "Alright, don't worry, I'll definitely give you the four suits of armor, no matter who it is, they won't be able to take them away from me."

  Huǒ Hǎi was so confident in himself that he couldn't let him down. However, just as Jì Mù was about to pick up the fur, he suddenly hesitated and shook his body covered in dog skin. "Huǒ Hǎi, look, there's still something inside. Wait, these bones are also left behind." Huǒ Hǎi took a look inside and indeed found bones - the intact bones of Tiě Jiǎ Cù Wáng (Iron Armor Dog King).

  These bones are even harder than the Iron Armor Hound's fur, and the Star Nails can leave marks on the fur, but on this, not a single mark can be left. I didn't expect to have such a harvest.

  Everyone has been misled by the hard fur of Iron Armor Dog for a long time, and both of them forgot. Generally, bones are absolutely the hardest thing on an organism. This thing is also a very good material.

  Ji Mu shook his head: "Huo Hai, I can't help you deal with these bones. Dealing with this fur was already a lot of trouble, and this thing is even more troublesome." Bones are different from fur, they can be made into powerful weapons.

  Armor is relatively rare, but weapons are still more popular among the masses. To deal with the fur, most of the armor will be handed over to Huo Hai, and the pressure that Ji Mu bears in the family can be imagined. If these bones are put on the frame, Ji Mu will not be able to keep them. At that time, they will definitely be taken away by the family. At that time, the relationship between himself and Huo Hai is still unknown.

  Intellectually, Ji Mu knew that doing so would bring great benefits to the family. However, emotionally, he just couldn't bear to turn against Huo Hai. Since that was the case, then it's better not to mention these things and let Huo Hai handle them himself.

  Huo Hai nodded: "No problem, these things can be sold directly, and they should have some value." Huo Hai didn't plan to bring back too many things, it's better to sell them for points. As for the Bone Refining Pill, who knows when he'll be able to gather all the ingredients.

  Upon hearing Huo Hai's words, Ji Mu's eyes lit up: "How about selling it to our Ji family? Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory price." This was perfect, as it would help both Huo Hai and the family. Later on, he could also be more at ease within the family. Anyway, selling it to whoever wasn't the issue, what mattered was that it suited him just fine.

  Huo Hai thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, but I want to send some back home to my family. Also, the things I sell to you can only be bought with academy points, I don't accept gold, silver or spirit stones." These things, Huo Hai didn't lack, what he lacked was medicine pills.

  Ji Mu nodded: "No problem, after going back, I will talk to my family and we will give you a satisfactory price." The skin and bones are all one's own, the pressure on the skin can also be much less. Points are nothing for the Ji family. The Ji family was founded far earlier than the Huo family, and the academy points have accumulated countless times.

  "Alright, let's split up. I'll gather my things and go look for the point cards." Huo Hai still hadn't forgotten the real reason he came here. He casually stuffed these bones into his luggage.

  Even Huo Hai threw out many useless things from his luggage. The value of these things is not comparable to the bones of a Ling Beast in the Spiritual Realm, and it's even the kind that specializes in cultivating physical Ling Beasts.

  Soon, Huo Hai searched out the cards here, and the more he counted, the more joyful his eyes became. "10,000 points, there are actually 10,000 points, this time, the Bone Tempering Pill is already halfway obtained." Huo Hai did not think that this battle would yield 10,000 points, even more than what he had previously collected with great difficulty.

  Ji Mu was also startled: "So many points, you really got rich, but what are you going to do with so many points?"

  100,000 points, converted into spirit stones, that's 10 million spirit stones. Even for a family like the Ji family, this is an extremely large fortune. The entire family may not be able to earn so many spirit stones in several years.

  If it were someone else, heaven knows if they would have taken it away. In Ji Mu's eyes, there was only admiration, but not a hint of jealousy, his gaze as clear as water. Huo Hai wouldn't look at people's faces, but he could also see the clarity in Ji Mu's eyes. He let out a sigh of relief, it seemed that this person was worth befriending. Until now, Huo Hai finally accepted Ji Mu as a friend.

  It's not easy to get Ho Hai to accept. Ho Hai calculated that the points in his hand were still a long way from 20,000. Not enough, still not enough, and he had to continue. If only he could find another tribe like this one.

  Huo Hai stood up, and the items had already been packed away: "Let's go, we'll continue to search, and try to get enough points." Ji Mu heard a faint whisper, this isn't enough yet. What does this guy want to do, is there some kind of exchange target?
