After successfully saving Huyan Li, Qian Yu did not reveal himself.
He was waiting, waiting for the final result.
Not long after, Snake Lance Douluo brought them to Qian Yu’s side; as for Huyan Li, he had already left.
Huyan Li had clearly chosen a path that went in the opposite direction from them.
“He holds a great deal of resentment toward the Spirit Empire and has already chosen to resign himself to his fate.
Fortunately, before he left, he indicated that he would not tell anyone he had met us.”
After Yan finished his assessment of Huyan Li, he noticed that the others were looking at him with strange expressions.
As if looking at an idiot.
“A wasted effort.
Not only did we gain nothing, but we actually increased the risk of being exposed!”
Porcupinefish Douluo, who had the most contact with Qian Yu, spoke seemingly carelessly, then fixed his gaze on Qian Yu.
“It’s not like we gained nothing; it is highly likely we will obtain a ten-thousand-year head Spirit Bone, which counts as a bountiful harvest.”
Qian Yu said calmly.
The moment his words fell, Porcupinefish Douluo’s figure vanished from where he stood.
The others remained silent; only Yan and Hu Liena were still bewildered.
“Why?”
“If you were going to attack him, why did you save him just now?”
Hu Liena was straightforward and immediately asked about her confusion.
Although Yan didn’t speak, the expression on his face betrayed him; clearly, he didn’t understand why this was done either.
Qian Yu did not answer but glanced at Xie Yue.
Xie Yue did not speak immediately; after deep thought, he gave the answer.
“Saving him initially was because he could have become one of our own, becoming a source of assistance for us.”
“Killing him now is because his existence is very likely to expose us.”
“Just because he said he wouldn’t reveal our information to others, does that mean he really won’t?”
“Given Huyan Li’s current predicament, even if he and his Elephant Armored Academy wanted to bow their heads and be someone’s dog, it would depend on whether others were willing to take them in.”
“At this time, he needs a sufficiently weighty token of allegiance, and we are the best token of allegiance.”
After Xie Yue finished speaking, he looked at Qian Yu, as if wanting him to comment.
Qian Yu nodded with a precocious air, fully approving of Xie Yue’s statement.
“Indeed, this is only one possibility.”
“Perhaps Huyan Li would really keep our secret, mindful of today’s life-saving grace, but he is not alone after all.
The Elephant Armored Academy still has other survivors, and for their sake, what Huyan Li might do is completely unpredictable.”
“Do not forget who the enemy we are facing is: a God!”
“Under these circumstances, we should judge others with the greatest malice.”
Qian Yu still felt some regret.
Regardless of anything else, he was still a Spirit Saint.
Even if his combat power wasn’t great, he could still be used as cannon fodder in a crisis.
What a pity!
Not long after, Porcupinefish Douluo returned.
“I didn’t expect it to really be a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone.
The quality is quite good, the kind that increases defense.”
“She Long, it’s yours!”
Porcupinefish Douluo threw the head Spirit Bone he had stripped from Huyan Li’s head directly to Snake Lance Douluo.
The two of them were partners with a deep bond; in such matters, there would be no reluctance.
What’s more, Qian Yu had already reserved a head Spirit Bone for him, a ten-thousand-year head Spirit Bone that was very compatible with him.
Good things, naturally, go to one’s partner first.
“I won’t stand on ceremony with you!”
Snake Lance Douluo looked at the ten-thousand-year head Spirit Bone that had fallen into his hands.
He didn’t stand on ceremony and directly stored it into his storage spirit tool, planning to absorb it once he settled down.
“Let’s go, continue to help Yan hunt for a spirit ring!”
Regarding this result, Qian Yu could not say whether he was happy or disappointed.
From the moment he decided to step onto this path, he knew that the road ahead would be very difficult.
Nowadays, Tang San and his group are too powerful on the Douluo Continent.
Even among former acquaintances, how many would be willing to accompany them in that crazy move that didn’t even have a one-in-ten-thousand chance of success?
As for the means being despicable or anything like that, Qian Yu never took it to heart.
He had his own underlying logic; there was no such thing as a struggle between justice and evil, just disputes caused by different situations, camps, ideologies, and systems.
The one who achieves the final victory is absolute justice.
Perhaps because the topic encountered earlier was too heavy, on the way to hunt the Spirit Beast, Yan remained unusually silent the whole time.
He was using his limited brain to think about the problem.
Soon, they arrived at their destination again.
They successfully found the needed Spirit Beast.
A 73,000-year-old Two-Headed Fire Lizard, belonging to the sub-Dragon species, which also possessed both Fire and Earth attributes.
It was very compatible with Yan.
The problem is, wanting to kill it was not a simple matter.
Fortunately, there were many of them.
Even if the two Titled Douluo did not use their full strength, they were equivalent to Peak Spirit Douluo, plus Xie Yue and Hu Liena’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which could also rival a Spirit Douluo, and there was also Yan, a quasi-Spirit Douluo.
As for Qian Yu, he just needed to release the Angelic Domain from a distance to assist them.
Very quickly, they successfully killed the target.
During the process of Yan absorbing the spirit ring, Qian Yu quickly discovered something abnormal.
Or rather, he discovered that the two Titled Douluo, Snake Lance and Porcupinefish, were acting strange.
“Spirit Bone?”
Sensing the fluctuation of a Spirit Bone on the corpse of the Two-Headed Fire Lizard, Qian Yu knew that these two were tempted.
A 70,000-year Spirit Bone; even a Spirit Douluo could not suppress this greed.
The reason they didn’t take any action was because they were struggling internally.
Qian Yu did not say anything, but instead, without leaving a trace, protected Hu Liena and Xie Yue in front of him.
If they really encountered the worst-case scenario, they could still hold them off for a while.
“That kid Yan is really lucky!”
After a long time, Snake Lance Douluo spoke first, breaking the silent atmosphere.
Clearly, they had suppressed the greed in their hearts.
He then stepped forward and dug out the Spirit Bone.
When he saw that it was a very perfect torso bone, Snake Lance Douluo’s pupils trembled.
Then, clearly carrying a bit of resentment, he threw it in front of Yan, unwilling to look at it again.
Fearing that if he looked at it more, he wouldn’t be able to help but snatch it.
The reason the two of them suppressed the greed in their hearts is simple.
Even if they snatched this 70,000-year Spirit Bone, so what?
Relying on the Spirit Bone to increase their strength a bit, could it change the outcome?
Their enemy was still an invincible existence.
If they wanted to live a cowardly life, with the power of the two Titled Douluo, they could easily hide in a small mountain village.
As long as they weren’t particularly flashy, nothing would happen.
But how could they be content with such a life?
The hearts of the people that had been gathered with such difficulty could not be scattered because of a single Spirit Bone.
