Chapter 505: Chapter 329: Harvest and Aftertaste (4K)_2

But the defense battle at Wolf Head Mountain had been raging for several hours, and those high-order monsters that had been slain early on were likely already half-cooled, far from fresh.

Moreover, the majority of the wisdom monsters around Wolf Head Mountain were those killed at the onset of the war.

Thinking of this, Duo Lai's heart ached, making it hard to breathe.

How much soul power had they lost in the end!

Damn Fang of the Jackal Wolf, he logged another grudge!

Duo Lai glared at the corpse of the King of Black Wings, which was now reduced to less than half, and thought viciously.

...

Outside Wolf Head Mountain, the corpses of monsters littered the hills and dales, and the soul sand and Remnantsoul that had been extracted from atop these corpses were also too numerous to count.

These treasures shimmered like pure lotuses that had grown out of silt, clean and sanitary, and now in the gradually encroaching darkness, they twinkled with specks of starry white luster, like a beautiful tapestry laid atop hell itself.

This tapestry brought relief to the heart.

Unfortunately, it made the soldiers who were collecting spoils of war suffer.

"No, no, no, how can exercising the intellect be considered suffering?"

"These new soldiers rarely get a chance to go out on any day, and coming to the foot of Wolf Head Mountain today is exceptionally rare, a great blessing for them indeed."

After laboring through half the night, the new soldiers finally managed to collect most of the scattered soul sand.

Gathering it all was beyond them.

The soul sand was too fragmentary and too minute, and the intelligence of the new soldiers wasn't high enough, so some oversights during collection were inevitable. Some of the veterans, having recovered, also began the work of picking up and gathering.

Their tasks were even more burdensome, tasked with cutting off and collecting valuable parts from monster corpses that could serve as materials.

'Notice: You have obtained 998.6 Soul Crystals.'

'Notice: You have obtained several Ordinary level materials and 68 Rare level materials.'

'Notice: You have obtained several Ordinary level Remnantsouls and 366 Rare level Remnantsouls, as well as 3 Superior Grade Remnantsouls.'

The drop rate for Remnantsouls was actually very low.

In the past, many players would complain on forums that after busy work for half a day, they couldn't get even a single Ordinary level Remnantsoul.

Players hoping to burst out Rare Rank Remnantsouls through defeating monsters found it even more difficult.

It depended on the rank of the monsters.

Some monsters reached the levels of Third-order War Generals or Four-order Commanders, but if their rank was only Rare, then the probability of them dropping Rare Remnantsouls was minuscule.

Only the Superior Grade BOSS monsters had a much higher probability of bursting out.

But regardless of how low the drop rate was, it couldn't withstand the sheer number of the Monster Tide.

The quantity of Ordinary level Remnantsouls was countless, it's just a pity that most of them were Goblin or Jackal Man Remnantsouls.

"Even if they are Ordinary Three-star level Big Goblin, Giant Wolf, Bladesman, and such Remnantsouls, they are hard to sell nowadays."

After all, his only channel was the Elf Courtyard Mystery Territory.

And those who could enter that Secret Realm were all outstanding Lords who would not be interested in Ordinary Remnantsouls.

Rare level Remnantsouls were much easier to sell, and if all were sold, it would at least exchange for more than a thousand Soul Crystals. Superior Grade Remnantsouls, as always, were highly sought-after treasures, able to be traded for some scarce items.

"This battle has brought no small gains, but... "

The cost was not low!

The fabrication costs of large-scale magic, the consumption of defense buildings, the ammunition loss of fortification weapons, the recovery treatment and equipment loss of each corps' elites, and so on.

Tianyuan Territory's total consumption exceeded 800 Soul Crystals.

This was still under the premise that he possessed 'Energy Well', 'Resurrection Skills', 'Epic Healers'.

For other Lords, fighting such a war could start at an expenditure of at least two thousand Soul Crystals. If they also lost some elites or main forces, the Lords would be at a considerable loss.

But on the other hand, war is not something Lords can choose not to fight if they don't want to.

What they often fight is a defensive battle.

The weakened and pitiful Tianyuan, facing the bared fangs of Fang of the Jackal Wolf, had no choice but to mount some feeble counterattacks.

This battle's true gains were strategic positions, followed by some special loot, and lastly, the soul sand and Remnantsouls.

"Found it! Found it!"

From a distant valley, which was still resonant with the aftertaste of thunder and fire, Duo Lai salvaged several spoils of war.

Broken Treasure Armor; shattered Staff; fractured storage ring;

Under the devastating impact of the Thunder Flame Dragon, these pieces of Superior Grade equipment also suffered greatly.

But at least, these pieces of equipment could be melted down and remade, right? From two or three damaged pieces of Treasure Armor, one could forge a piece of Superior Grade equipment, couldn't one?

The only piece of treasure that hadn't been damaged under the force of destruction was an ordinary-looking black pottery urn.

If it weren't for the fact that this pottery urn was fished out from the river of thunder, it would be easy to overlook on a regular day.

It's too ordinary.

Not a hint of treasure's luster on it.

No,

"But there's a fluctuation of space power~!"

Duo Lai affirmed.

Mu Yuan recalled that half a day ago, the Werewolf Legend had erected a space barrier.

Was it related to this artifact?

He pulled out a bunch of Identification Crystals from his domain and started using them on the black urn. After consuming a total of 31 Identification Crystals, he finally gleaned some information.

'Space Urn'

'Rank: Epic'

'Description: Contains the power of space, capable of erecting spatial barriers that isolate everything. More functions are unknown, please explore on your own.'

This was an Epic Treasure!

Speaking of which, this was the first time Mu Yuan had seen an item of Epic level. This thing was far more rare than legendary ones.

Mu Yuan gave it a try.

"The Space Urn can maintain itself for 30 seconds, enveloping an area of about 30 meters around oneself, and it seems like it has to rest for several hours before it can be activated again. However, this is limited to a fools' way of use."

The Jackal Man Legend had foolishly injected energy to activate it, but he, Lord Shepherd, was different; he was a man who wielded the power of space... the man with Duo Lai's Power of Space.

With a little exploration, he discovered some tricks.

Using the Space Urn to envelop and wrap oneself could, it seemed, allow one to enter a true different space, completely disappearing from this world.

"I'll leave this topic to you to research, Duo Lai; I have high hopes for you."

Duo Lai gazed back with his clear yet puzzled large eyes.

Mu Yuan continued to command his troops, salvaging and collecting the spoils of war, while also deploying the Falcon Squad to investigate the north and pinpoint the location of the Monster Tribe.

The battle at Wolf Head Mountain had come to a complete end, and there were no accidents during the cleanup of the battlefield, but the impact of this battle was just beginning to spread like a storm.

Featherman Kingdom.

The Queen and some of the high-ranking powerhouses waited anxiously.

Half a day ago, Fang of the Jackal Wolf had unleashed the Monster Tide, bearing down on the human fortress city.

Of course, they were focused on this battle.

They were all horrified by the might of Fang of the Jackal Wolf, whose overwhelming tide seemed desperate.

And then what?

Why is there nothing more below!

What in the world is the Scout doing!

Whether the Human Lord's domain can hold or is decimated, there should be some news coming back, right? But Wolf Head Mountain is relatively close to the entrance and exit of Featherman Valley, so they dare not venture out carelessly at this time.

Finally,

Whoosh—

Two Fourth-order Feather Court Guards helped each other, flying down through the spatial curtain.

They looked very miserable, their bodies scorched, and feathers falling as they landed. Their energy seemed very feeble, giving off the appearance of having just narrowly escaped death.

Miserable! Too miserable!

They must have gone through indescribable life-and-death dangers on their mission to gather intelligence, right under the nose of Fang of the Jackal Wolf, which certainly wasn't an easy task.

Heroes, both of you are heroes!

Many older Feathermen cried, vaguely recalling the past.

But now wasn't the time for sentimentality; they needed to understand what had happened in the battle.

"The Human Lord used a large weapon to blast all the legends of Fang of the Jackal Wolf to death."

"We, we weren't fast enough to escape and were slightly affected by the aftermath of the Azure Sky Art, and we fainted. We passed out for half a day before finally waking up."

The two Featherman powerhouses were ashamed.

They were still terrified when they mentioned it.

Featherman Old General: "???"

Attack Faction Featherman: "???"

Queen: "???"

They went to investigate the battle at Wolf Head Mountain, right?
