Behind him, Liu Erlong looked enviously at the departing Dugu Bo.
If she had been a Titled Douluo, how could she have been injured?
Perhaps the Spirit Bone would have already been in her hands.
So many people had sacrificed their lives and still hadn't obtained it.
Now that Dugu Bo had gone, the Spirit Bone must be his, right?
Dugu Yan, how lucky she was, to have such a powerful Title Douluo grandfather who was so good to her.
Wilderness.
After a battle for the Spirit Bone, many people died.
Qin Ming trembled as he looked at the pile of corpses before him.
Beside him lay the body of Teacher Yan Que'er.
Of the seven teachers who came, including him, only five survived.
This was only because two Spirit Douluo teachers constantly protected them.
Why was this happening?
He only wanted to contend for the Spirit Beast, why did everyone fight like madmen, and so many people died?
He had always been in the Academy before, and it was his first time encountering such a frantic slaughter.
Qin Ming, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin huddled together, warily looking at everyone, panting heavily.
Huo Long was alone and not in good condition, currently gathered with them.
And in front of them was a dense crowd of Spirit Kings, Spirit Emperors, Spirit Saints, and even a group of Wolftaken who joined midway.
Everyone together surrounded them.
"Hey, Lao Deng Bai, no matter whether you keep the Spirit Bone in the end, the one million hire fee you promised me cannot be less."
Huo Long said to Bai Baoshan wearily.
The Fire Leopard Sect, led by Fire-Flame Leopard, had already been focused down and driven out of the battlefield, and in the end, Sect Master Fire-Flame Leopard had no choice but to abandon the Spirit Bone and flee in disarray.
Now, the ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone was in Bai Baoshan's hands.
"Hmph, don't worry, yours won't be less."
Before Bai Baoshan could speak, the short-tempered Zhi Lin beside him spoke first.
"Bai Baoshan, your Heaven Dou Academy hurry up and hand over the Spirit Bone."
On the opposite side, a Spirit Saint shouted at the few of them.
"A mere Spirit Saint level, boasting shamelessly."
Zhi Lin looked disdainfully at this ignorant young man.
A ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone was worth millions of gold coins; everyone wanted it.
"Senior, why don't we hand over the Spirit Bone?
Even if we keep the Spirit Bone, everyone will suffer heavy losses. Is it worth sacrificing so many lives for a Spirit Bone?"
Qin Ming glanced at Yan'er's corpse beside him, and after an internal struggle, stepped forward and said.
"What are you saying, Qin Ming?"
Zhi Lin was immediately enraged upon hearing this, scolding him angrily.
If it weren't for protecting you all, we few Spirit Douluo would have already left with the Spirit Bone.
What could these few Spirit Saint nobodies do?
Qin Ming was stunned, seemingly not expecting Teacher Zhi Lin to be so furious.
Actually, it was very simple.
Heaven Dou Academy was not Shrek, nor was it a family power; there was no blood relation between teachers, they were just colleagues.
This was equivalent to:
I kindly stayed to protect you, but you still complain that I did too little, and even ask me why I didn't give up the Spirit Bone to protect everyone?
Are we that close?
"No one can snatch the Spirit Bone from Heaven Dou Academy's hands."
"Put away your compassionate attitude in the face of strength."
Zhi Lin was furious upon hearing this, extremely displeased, and scolded angrily.
Bai Baoshan, on the side, looked at Qin Ming with disappointment in his eyes; his original intention to promote him was gone.
"So, our lives are far less important than the Spirit Bone."
At this moment, Qin Ming's eyes were dull, as if he had suffered a huge blow.
The once warm Heaven Dou Academy now seemed so cold.
"If Dean Fu were here, he definitely wouldn't be willing to let any of us die."
He muttered softly.
Is this kid scared silly?
Huo Long looked at Qin Ming's foolish appearance, a slight curl of his lips, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
It was just a few Spirit King teachers who died, that's all.
How much salary did Heaven Dou Academy give them in total? It was only a few tens of thousands combined.
Now they could exchange it for a Spirit Bone.
Heaven Dou Academy made a huge profit, alright.
He was almost dying of envy.
"Alright, since you won't hand it over, don't blame us for making a move."
"Everyone, those few Spirit Douluo have already fought a battle among themselves and are now injured."
"Why don't we all attack together and snatch this Spirit Bone from him?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd's cries of condemnation were incessant.
Several Spirit Saints who had not participated in the Fire Leopard Sect's struggle, and were almost at full strength, launched the first attack.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Martial Soul True Body."
The sky was dyed with various colors of Spirit Abilities, and the target was only the few people in the center.
Bai Baoshan and Huo Long also quickly released their Spirit Abilities to hastily defend.
Zhi Lin was responsible for protecting the other teachers.
For a time, the calm scene became chaotic again.
Just then, a figure appeared in the distant sky, Dugu Bo, transformed into the Bi Lin Snake Emperor, descended majestically.
"Those who touch my Spirit Bone, die."
With Dugu Bo's stern shout, everyone present stopped fighting.
"It's Poison Douluo!"
"Why is Poison Douluo here? Didn't he leave?"
"What do you mean 'your' Spirit Bone, what a shameless Titled Douluo."
Whether it was a Spirit Douluo or a Spirit Saint, at this moment, they all felt like they had eaten a mouthful of shit.
The duck that was within reach might fly away.
"Does Poison Douluo want the Spirit Bone?
Don't forget, our Heaven Dou Academy is part of the Royal family?"
Bai Baoshan said tremblingly.
"What about the Royal family?"
"Am I not a member of the Royal family anymore?"
With one question, Bai Baoshan's slightly firm tone immediately withered.
He almost forgot, Poison Douluo was a Heaven Dou Honored Guest.
Dugu Bo hooked his finger, and the Spirit Bone fell into his hand.
The onlookers watched the scene before them and dared not move.
This was a Title Douluo; they were not on the same level as a Title Douluo at all.
What's more, this Poison Douluo was best at area-of-effect attacks and bullying the weak.
If his Ninth Spirit Ability were truly unleashed upon them, not a single person present would survive.
After Dugu Bo took the Spirit Bone, the atmosphere among the people present dropped to freezing point.
They had fought for so long and in the end gained nothing.
On the other side.
"Yan'er, here's the Spirit Bone for you."
"Lin Feng already has two Spirit Bones, and now you have one too!"
Dugu Bo winked at Dugu Yan and said earnestly.
But the other party either didn't understand his meaning or didn't care.
"Lin Feng, here!"
Dugu Yan happily took the Spirit Bone, then turned and handed it to Lin Feng behind her.
"AYan'er, how can this be?
Grandpa is right, you still don't have a Spirit Bone, you should absorb this one!"
Lin Feng declined with both hands.
Dugu Bo, watching the two of them humbly deferring to each other, instantly turned red with anger.
Fine.
If he encountered any more treasures in the future, he would keep them for his own retirement.
