Chapter 110: Zhu Zhuqing's Tail Soul Bone.
Xia Li's Eye of Destiny scanned the Dark Gold Tiger and smiled faintly. "Hehe, I'm right, I'm so lucky!"
Xia Li plucked off its skin and yanked off its tail. A nondescript, all-black soul bone appeared in his hand.
Bibi Dong was stunned. Is this a soul bone? Could it be the external tail soul bone produced by this Dark Gold Tiger?
External soul bones are second only to 100,000-year soul bones in importance, being far rarer than any other type. They are virtually unattainable unless one is extremely fortunate.
While 100,000-year soul beasts are guaranteed to produce soul bones, external soul bones are rare.
What's the advantage of external soul bones?
They don't take up any soul bone space, so there's no need to worry about absorbing the wrong one. It's essentially free space anyway.
Beyond that, there are no other significant advantages.
As for evolution, spirit bones can evolve, but many external spirit bones can appear outside the body, making the evolution more obvious.
Yang Mingxin's eyes widened in surprise. This was her first time seeing a spirit bone. How lucky! The first spirit beast she hunted in the Star Dou Great Forest actually had a spirit bone!
Hu Liena was no longer surprised. The last time her junior brother went to the Lost Grand Canyon, he picked up two spirit bones. This time, he only picked up one. This was too normal, so normal that it seemed a little rare.
Xia Li handed it to Bibi Dong and said, "Dong'er, this is the soul beast you captured. You can distribute it."
Bibi Dong smiled softly. "Hmph, if I told you to absorb it yourself, would you listen to me?" She said, "Distribute it yourself. Everyone here will listen to you."
Xia Li nodded and handed the tiger tail soul bone to Zhu Zhuqing. "Zhuqing, your martial soul was originally cat-like, and you absorbed its spirit ring. You should also absorb this external soul bone."
Zhu Zhuqing's hands trembled slightly. If she absorbed more, this would be her third soul bone. And all three were actually given by Xia Li. This...
She remembered what Hu Liena had said to her: if she accepted the martial soul evolution, she would give Xia Li everything she had. But now, she was constantly accepting everything Xia Li gave her. She hadn't done anything for him yet.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Hu Liena, she was a little hesitant.
Hu Liena smiled and said, "My spirit is a fox, and absorbing a tiger's tail seems quite unusual.
I've heard cats are tigers' teachers, so just accept it with all due respect."
Zhu Zhuqing felt a small sense of relief. She was glad she hadn't passed up this opportunity, otherwise, wouldn't all this have gone to Zhu Zhuyun.
Zhu Zhuqing silently accepted the spirit bone and said, "Then I'll absorb it. I'll fight for you anytime!"
She spoke few words, each one coming from the heart.
Soul bones are much easier to absorb than spirit rings. Zhu Zhuqing, having entered a state of meditation, had ample experience absorbing spirit bones, and this one quickly merged into her body.
Whoosh!
After a while, a long, slender, pure black tail sprouted from Zhu Zhuqing's buttocks, her external spirit bone completely absorbed.
Xia Li, instantly intrigued, walked over and grabbed it. "Hehe, this feels great! How interesting! Zhuqing has grown a tail!"
Ouch.
Zhu Zhuqing felt a little pain. "How can you be so strong? The spirit bone is a part of my body." She swung her tail, moving it freely.
Zhu Zhuqing had perfect control over the spirit bone attached to her tail, unlike Tang San who was initially unable to control the Eight Spider Lances.
Her original spirit, the Netherworld Cat, already had a tail, so this wasn't new to her. However, with a little soul power, the tail could unleash explosive damage.
Huh?
Xia Li grasped the small, furry tail, which immediately transformed into a tail rich in dark elements.
Because of the unique nature of Zhu Zhuqing's spirit, it was reflected in her tail spirit bone, giving her both elemental and beast forms.
Xia Li excitedly said, "Zhuqing, go back to that furry beast tail! It's so cute!"
Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at him. "Can you please stop staring at my butt?" Even though it's a little strange to have a tail,
Hu Liena couldn't help but chuckle and curiously came over. The two of them pointed at Zhu Zhuqing's tail.
Hu Liena whispered, "Zhuqing looks so sexy with a tail."
Zhu Zhuqing blushed. "What are you two thinking? External spirit bones are supposed to boost strength. Why do you always think about things this weird way?"
Xia Li said, "I think she's even cuter. She was already sexy."
Hu Liena swallowed, put down her tail, and threw herself into Xia Li's arms. "Junior brother, can you get me a fox tail too? I want one too."
Yang Mingxin listened to their conversation in disbelief. Could you just get a tail if you wanted? Shouldn't external spirit bones like these be something you only find once? Spirit bones were readily available at major auction houses, but they had never appeared before. Coming across one was enough; wanting a second was just too greedy.
Xia Li, seeing her pleading look, couldn't bear to refuse. "Okay, I'll pick one up next time."
Yang Mingxin was stunned. Is this how you all talk? Just bragging?
Xia Li grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's tail, slipped his arm around her slender waist, and wrapped it around her, but then thought it looked awkward.
After playing with it for a while, Xia Li suddenly became serious again and said, "Zhuqing, your external tail can be used like a third hand. It's a great surprise when someone attacks you from behind.
It's also a power-based tail, so it can break any obstacle with a single blow. It's very practical.
Oh, and can your tail grow longer?"
"No."
Xia Li's Three-Eyed Golden Lion Martial Spirit ignited within her, and no nearby spirit beasts dared to approach. But as they were joking, they heard the sound of rustling in the grass.
Zhu Zhuqing remained alert, retracting her tail and instinctively shielding herself in front of Xia Li, her gaze fixed on the grass beyond.
The women, seemingly unwittingly, formed a tacit agreement to protect Xia Li in the middle.
A golden figure emerged from the bushes, its body radiating golden light. Like Xia Li, it also had a third eye on its forehead. Its four legs resembled dragon claws, and its body was the size of a lion.
Xia Li had also guessed this. Because his martial spirit was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, ordinary spirit beasts wouldn't approach him unless they were also Three-Eyed Golden Lions!
