"Thank God!" Helen looked up at the sky, her delicate little face covered with sparkling tears, but this time they were tears of joy, not sorrow.

  "Well...". Robert was speechless.

  The folk identity of Saloman's sacrifice will never be recognized by the old-fashioned gods in the temple, and even magic pets will not be owned.

  "Haha......" Jingyu also laughed: "Now Hailun is done for, Richard had said before that he would get you a war drum as an instrument, now you can't even use the war drum, the Komodo War Beast was used to carry huge cowhide drums onto the battlefield..."

  "Haha..." Liu Zhen's face was filled with tears of laughter: "On the ribcage of this Komodo War Beast, two huge war drums can be placed! Let Helen take two thigh bones from the rear legs of the Xisha beast, Obis Rach! It will definitely be majestic when swung!"

  "My Cannon Piano Dream......" Helen was also stunned, the Komodo War Beast was indeed used to carry a huge war drum into battle, and the effect of this instrument was the most powerful in the kingdom's rituals, even if she didn't want to use it, I'm sure the temple wouldn't agree.

  "Congratulations, noble Foxfire-sama!" Robert said sincerely to Helen.

  Unlike the old men in the temple, this clever raccoon dog firmly believes that these two mysterious rituals will surely start another wave of myth than Meng in the future, because their performance today is really memorable.

  "Thank you for your compliment." Helen's face turned red with praise.

  "What a pity, our brave wolf riders." Robert's words brought everyone's gaze back to the tragic marks on the cliff.

  Liu Zhen and the three little beauties' eyes suddenly dimmed, and the heads of the pandas and mastiffs around them also hung down in sorrow. The terrible Southern Cross Star Forest, this is still in the Bailing Mountains, without entering the dense main forest, has already encountered so many strange beasts, which made Liu Zhen's original heroic spirit suddenly chill by half.

  "Go and collect the bodies of the Wolf brothers." Liu Zhenlei waved his hand to Bellamy. Although he was already used to scenes of life and death, Liu Zhenlei still felt a dull pain in his heart.

  The body of the star-tailed turtle was still lying there quietly, and Liu Zhen took out his wolf-toothed club again and went up to heavily strike it a few more times, barely releasing some pent-up anger.

  "Take out the crystal nucleus, and let's be more careful from now on." Jingyu came up to comfort him: "I've discovered that although the Berserk War Song can bring unparalleled combat power, it also has a terrible side effect. Warriors who accept the berserking often launch suicidal attacks when facing strong opponents, which is very unwise. Fortunately, today was Saroman's 'Purifying War Song' that made the Cane people enter a state of frenzy without any aftereffects. If you had used the Berserk War Song, I'm afraid the Cane people wouldn't have been able to dodge so nimbly and would have chosen to fight head-on instead... From now on, let's try to use the Berserk War Song as little as possible."

  "Yes......" Liu Zhen also felt the shortcomings of the Crazy War Song, in fact, even "Blessed War Song" is not like that. The rationality of warriors is sometimes far more effective than violence. In old movies before, those Liberation Army soldiers who threw their hats and swept horizontally with their rifles, weren't they all beaten into a beehive shape?

  "So magic is still practical after all," said Evie, who immediately drew countless white eyes.

  "Karu!" Liu Zhen called out to the cannibal slave: "Quickly bring me that curved knife, I'm going to chop this model into eight pieces!"

  Karu, the cannibal demon, had just woken up from his daze and was staring blankly at the giant war beast leaning against Helen's side. Hearing his master's call, he quickly fetched the curved knife from the carriage.

  After the star-tailed turtle died, its skin began to loosen, and Liu Zhen was easily able to dig out what he wanted from the smashed brain.

  The crystal nucleus of the star-tailed turtle is a conical shield-shaped crystal, as big as an egg, with a warm and pink luster all over. Liu Zhen also found a pigeon-egg-like black pearl in the lower jaw of the star-tailed turtle, deep and mysterious like the night sky, emitting a strange wine fragrance.

  Liu Zhen was intrigued by the turtle's body, and he couldn't help but think that it would be a great addition to his collection. As Helen had said, clams, snakes, turtles, and dragons were all known to produce pearls, so it was likely that this massive model would have some as well. The star-tailed turtle not only contributed a crystal core, but also offered a bright pearl, which was an incredible bargain. Last time, the young dragon had contributed a night pearl, a black pearl that looked quite beautiful, and Liu Zhen wondered what its special properties were.

  Guo Guo jumped onto Liu Zhen's arm and licked the wine-scented pearl.

  "This demon crystal is enough to store a lot of song power." Helen was also very satisfied. The higher the level of the magic beast, the larger the crystal nucleus, and the crystal nucleus of the magic wolf can only be used as a necklace for Guoguo, while the crystal nucleus of this star-tailed turtle is a top-level crystal nucleus.

  "Come and see if this tortoise pearl is luminescent at night?" Liu Zhen again took out the black tortoise pearl to show them.

  "Aiwei, you have the most varieties of pearls under the sea, come and take a look." Jingyu called out to the mermaid, an authority in this field.

  "The flavor is very fragrant, and it's really rare to have a pearl with fragrance." Evie picked up the tortoise pearl and sniffed it. "In terms of quality, it's definitely far inferior to Richard's dragon bead contribution, the night-illuminating pearl. Richard's dragon bead not only has night light, but also has a built-in storage compartment that can keep warm in winter and cool in summer. This tortoise pearl is definitely no match for it. From the reflection of this tortoise pearl, although the light is very soft, it lacks inner radiance. Overall, it's just an ordinary pearl. When I was at the bottom of the sea, I could find a better one than this in a shell box."

  "Really?" Helen squatted down, running her hand over the rough turtle shell, carefully counting the growth rings. The newly acquired Komodo War Beast also pushed its enormous head over, sniffing constantly with its nose and chewing on the unfinished turtle leg again.

  "This model is over a thousand years old, how can the quality of the tortoise bead be poor? The quality of tortoise beads that are over 500 years old is not bad," Helen said.

  "I know more than you think, I've seen more pearls than you've seen clods of earth!" Evie and Helen didn't quite see eye to eye, always ready to pick a fight.

  "Helen was furious and turned her eyes to Liu Zhen."

  "Haha, who cares if it's good or not? Next time I go to Witherstone, I'll use this pearl to get Helen a hairpin. The pearl is fragrant and so is Helen, they're a perfect match!" Liu Zhen shook his head at Helen and shared a knowing smile.

  Helen was delighted and couldn't help but stare at Evie with a mixture of surprise and admiration.

  Aiyue's mouth moved for half a day, and she couldn't say anything. Looking at her mouth shape, it seemed like she was muttering the two words "biased" all along.

  "Elder, may I interrupt?" Half-bodied old man raised his doll-like face and pulled Liu Zhen's robe.

  "The Starmouth Turtles are extremely rare, and their favorite food is the fragrant lily. The elder of the Halflings said: 'We Halflings are born brewers, and the main ingredient for our rum is also the fragrant lily. We can proudly say that we know more about the fragrant lily than ourselves. The flowers and plants of the fragrant lily contain the most natural ethanol, and the ethanol from the fragrant lily that the Starmouth Turtles eat in their lifetime are all sealed within this turtle pearl. Their most skilled 'Intoxication Cloud' magic is also triggered by this turtle pearl."

  "My god, this model is a thousand years old, how much 'Fragrant Wine Lotus' should it have eaten in its lifetime?" Liu Zhen was shocked and spat out his tongue, fortunately he didn't give the model any chance, beating the teacher to death with a flurry of punches, adding to that Ayr's long-range attack magic, they killed this demon beast before it could even use its magic, otherwise, this model's "Intoxication Cloud" would have been enough for everyone to drink a pot of.

  "This turtle pearl, if given to a hobbit, would be like handing over the world to him!" The elder of the halflings blinked his shining greedy little eyes and stared at the turtle pearl in Liu's hand: "This grade of star-tailed turtle pearl is a sacred product condensed from the essence of 'Xiangyue Bailian' wine after 1,500 years of accumulation. Even if you use this pearl to soak a cup of clear water, it will turn into a thick original wine after one night. If we halflings were to brew with this pearl, it would produce the most fragrant and mellow fine wine in the world."

  The people around were all stunned, unbelievable! Who would have thought that this inconspicuous turtle bead actually had such a peculiar and extraordinary effect.

  "It's gone!" Liu Zhen is now dreaming of drinking, last time with Prince Richard to eat, things are rare, not to mention, Liu Zhen just wanted to call the waitress to bring some beer, but was taken out by the prince what a knight's warning, turned around and suffered a loss.

  "Sir, can I... " The half-bodied elder's eyes were full of longing, and he trembled as he stretched out his hand.

  "Impossible." Liu Zhen shook his head and refused him bluntly.

  The old hobbit's eyes suddenly dimmed. He too was blaming his own greed, but he really couldn't control himself, this turtle bead to the hobbits, just like a dwarf seeing a legendary mine made of mithril or precious silver.

  Jing Yu quietly pinched Liu Zhen's arm, with a hint of displeasure on her face.

  "This time's gain is not small, it seems we don't need to all go to the Southern Cross Forest." Liu Zhen said with a shock: "The Southern Cross Forest can be left for me alone, this Komodo War Beast's body is too large and slow, and Helen doesn't have the Medusa badge issued by the Temple, following along to climb mountains and wade through waters isn't convenient either. You all go back first, I'll go to the Ink Crystal Gorge to take a look around, and settle this errand with the military station."

  "Has the Temple not even granted you a Medusa emblem yet?" Robert thought it was unbelievable. Two priests who didn't even have a large-scale magical beast, what made them think they could venture into the Southern Cross Star Forest?

  The old man even got this white robe from the temple by hook or by crook, how could the temple possibly award me a Medusa badge. Liu Zhen was secretly amused.

  "Robert!" Liu Zhen was shocked and pulled out a cigar, handing it to the man: "Aren't we friends?"

  "Of course." The Saroman nodded formally: "It is an honor for Saroman to be friends with several brave priests."

  "Since we're friends, I'll be straightforward. I'd like to ask you to keep this a secret between us. I don't want too many people to know that I have a werewolf warrior as a follower." Liu Zhen was smoking a cigar with Gude, "We've encountered some unfair treatment in the temple."

  "Cough, cough..." Robert almost choked on these words, his face covered in thick smoke and tears: "Don't worry! Keeping secrets for friends is a virtue of the Wolfs! The Temple has always been unfair! Why can't our Shaman Saroman get the recognition he deserves? Those old men in the Temple are really......"

  As soon as Robert entered the temple, he immediately opened his mouth and began to pour out his grievances.

  The two miserable people talked more and more in harmony, from time to time bursting out a string of bright laughter.

  "Richard, why don't you just come with us and forget about it? We've already got the crystal nucleus, and Guo Guo still has one on her neck. Let's not go to the Southern Cross Star Forest anymore, this forest is too terrifying! This is just the edge of the White Mountain Range, and we've already encountered two powerful magical beasts. If something happens in the Southern Cross Star Forest, it'll be bad." Jingyu pulled Liu Zhensheng, who was speaking excitedly, to one side, and together with Aiwier Helene, tried to persuade him.

  "Can't be helped!" Liu Zhen was grinding his teeth: "This time, the local garrison has been notified, and not going would be bad. The Temple will definitely have an opinion about it, and those old men will definitely be eager to find some fault with me! And then there's that prince! I just don't believe that after hitting him with such a big stick last time, he won't stab me in the back? What consequences will there be? Let me think, will they cancel my sacrificial rites qualification?"

  "Don't look at me, this has nothing to do with me..." Helen looked at Liu Zhen with a wronged expression.

  "I didn't expect that as soon as you returned to the Kingdom of Bimon, you would stir up so much trouble. You should also restrain yourself." Jingyu also felt a bit tricky.

  "Why are you thinking of people as so bad? Prince Richard may not be what you think he is." Evie gave Liu Zhen a white eye.

  "Didn't you? At that time, he was speaking hurriedly, helping that human merchant to squeeze me in front of the temple, making me sell you. Have you forgotten?" Liu Zhen asked coldly.

  "What if that merchant really brings 5 million gold coins? What can we do then?" Elva was reminded and thought of this again.

  "Did you hear that prince? Five million is just that easy to get? One gold coin weighs ten ounces, five million gold coins would be enough for twenty large carts to carry. How can I bring it to you?" Liu Zhen shook his head and laughed coldly, "I regret now, I should have said fifty thousand gold coins instead. This amount is small, it's definitely possible to get it over with... Ah, what a great opportunity for highway robbery has been lost!!"

  "Richard! We may be short of money now, but we can't always have such a twisted mind..." Helen couldn't help but say.

  "I know, I know... don't say anything else." Liu Zhen shook his head with a bitter smile: "In any case, this time I must first get the noble title and secure a fiefdom before talking about anything else! Otherwise, so many people are relying on me for food, and now there's another big mouth to feed..."

  Liu Zhen touched the belly of the enormous Komodo War Beast, which was as big as a small mountain, and felt that his head was as big as a bucket: "I really can't feed this guy stones, can I? There are so many children in Bog Village, 300 boys and girls! They always eat Uncle Sima's food, and I don't even feel good about it myself. Besides, I want to help Helen and all the brothers and sisters of Fengye Village avenge themselves! Now that nothing is left, can I go hungry to avenge them?"

  "You go to the Nan Shi Xing forest and negotiate with the local garrison, then come back immediately. Whatever you do, don't enter the forest," Helen said anxiously.

  "Haha, don't worry about this one. Not bragging, Helen, but even with your Komodo War Beast, you're still a dead end if you fight me." Liu Zhen said with a smile, rubbing his nose.

  "Go ahead and blow!" Jing Yu gave him a cold glance.

  "Hmm? Hehe...... The dual-system magic, Komodo War Beast is indeed powerful, but I have the Four Great Cloud Qin Zhan Jinren. Can the War Beast match up to the four great golden men? In fact, the Komodo War Beast and my Golden Men have a fatal flaw - they can't fly and can't go underwater. Don't forget, the fake enemy we're facing isn't just someone like ourselves, what if our opponent is a human dragon knight? They'll have a hundred ways to play with you in the air, and even Lord Koci was defeated in the Tennessee aerial battle despite having his own dragon familiar. For me, "Life's Eulogy" doesn't have much use, a single cold arrow might be enough to end everything, and relying on one's magic familiar to fight is already a huge defect. Let me put it another way, what if we encounter the sea tribe at sea? Your magic familiar can't go underwater, so what will you use to fight them?" Liu Zhensheng shook his head and said: "Don't get carried away by 'Life's Eulogy' just yet, unless... Hailun is willing to use her own magic familiar to challenge a higher-level demon beast, like our teacher Muriniel. If we can find an opportunity to fight him and take that Fire Phoenix, it'll be perfect."

  As soon as she said that, Helen's face showed an expression of "I know what kind of crap you're full of".
