<h2>Chapter 739: A sh</h2>


    Pecking privates?


    Xiao Luo rolled his eyes as he recalled a traditional method of treatment in his rural hometown when he was young. It was to send a male duck to peck at a boy’s penis. That was to treat a swollen penis as a result of some insect bites. Thinking about it now, it really made him speechless.


    “Duck, you have really moved me,” heforted.


    Duck Emperor was stunned but soon snapped, “Cut that mushy crap! If it isn’t for your ability to take me back to the Chaos Dimension, I wouldn’t be bothered to help you.”


    Its wings were crossed before its chest, and it turned around, closing its eyes to show that it did not care at all.


    “Xiao… Sir!”


    At this time, Zuo Xiangming approached them and was about to address Xiao Luo as Brother Xiao. However, considering that he could even kill a beast demon, it was too inappropriate to call him a brother. Hence, he called him ‘sir’ instead as personal strength precedes everything in the Arcana Land.


    Xiao Luo nodded and took a nce at Zuo Xiangming. “Are you hurt?”


    “I’m fine. I just need to rest for some time.” Zuo Xiangming smiled.


    Xiao Luo remained quiet and was preparing to find a new ce to spend the night.


    “Sir, every exotic beast has a beast core within it, and it contains very rich spiritual energy, which could be used for alchemy or enhancement for self-cultivation. The higher the level of the exotic beast, the rarer its beast core is. This giant python has reached the level of a beast demon. Its beast core is priceless. It is highly sought after anywhere. Don’t you n to extract its beast core?” Zuo Xiangming exined, seeing that Xiao Luo was not going to do anything with the carcass of the giant python.


    “Beast core?”


    It was obviously the first time that Xiao Luo heard about this, so he frowned a little.


    A few disciples of Ziyue Cave Heaven were slightly confused and thought that how could this guy not know of the beast core? Where did he grow up? Why did he know nothing of such matters?


    Zuo Xiangming nodded. “That’s right. It’s called beast core.”


    He walked to the carcass of the giant python and cut the body open with his sword. Although a dead beast demon had a rather tough skin, it could still be cut open without the protection of the true inner force. After some digging, he extracted a green orb of the beast core from the carcass of the giant python.


    The beast core was spherical and had a diameter of 5 to 6 centimeters, which could be grasped by one hand easily. Although its green in color and was stained with some blood, it was extremely translucent and was giving off some white steam.


    “There’s actually such a thing in the body of that giant python?”


    Duck Emperor was extremely shocked, and it walked over to y with the beast core. “It looks like a green luminous pearl, but its texture resembles a rubber ball. It’s so magical.”


    Xiao Luo was not interested in the beast core as he had already reached a very high level of aptitude. He no longer needed to rely on external help to further improve his power, so he said, “Keep it if you like it. You can take it as a souvenir.”


    “You rascal! I am just waiting for you to say that.”


    Duck Emperorughed and then kept the beast core somewhere like magic.


    This made the people of Ziyue Cave Heaven confused as none of them could tell where Duck Emperor hid the beast core.


    Xiao Luo was curious about it, too. This duck was only wearing a sailor suit without any pockets, and everything else was just his white feathers. Although the beast core was not huge, it was still rather difficult to hide it underneath the feathers. Hence, he asked, “Where did you hide it?”


    Duck Emperor pointed at the ring on its neck. “Here.”


    “A ring?”


    Xiao Luo had noticed its ring a long time ago, but it just looked like an ordinary essory. There was nothing special about it.


    “This is something you wouldn’t know. This is a spatial ring given by my master. It could store a lot of things. I just remembered about it at the veryst minute, so I brought it along with me. This is the perfect item for traveling and looting,” Duck Emperor boasted.


    There was actually such a magical object in the world?


    The Ziyue Cave Heaven disciples were thoroughly shocked as they had never heard of or seen a ring that could store items.

    The night was peaceful and quiet, and Xiao Luo had started to leave the Forest of the Infinity Edge and move towards the north in the direction of Ziyue Cave Heaven.


    After they had left for an hour, the vice captain of the ck Blood Mercenary Corps had arrived at where they were with a dozen of people, ording to the information by one of his subordinates. As they all saw the deste state of the ground and a carcass of a giant python, all of them were scared.


    “I have said a long time ago that dude is extraordinary. Now you all should trust me.” A man with a long face dered with a fearful look. He was the guy that Xiao Luo had let go of previously.


    The vice captain was a burly guy in his 40s. His eyes were deeply sunken, and there were three obvious wrinkles on his forehead. He did notment but judge the surrounding quietly.


    It did not take too long for his subordinates to organize the bodies of hisrades. Of course, these bodies were still intact. Those random pieces of bodies were difficult to cote. The carcass of the giant python was also carefully examined.


    “Vice Captain, Brother Bao and his subordinates are all dead. In addition, after examining this giant python, we can conclude that it is of a beast demon level. Its torso was impaled and, finally, was beheaded. Its beast core was extracted, too,” a man reported the results of the examination to the vice captain.


    A giant python that was of the level of a beast demon?


    As everyone heard the report, they all gasped in awe as that guy could even kill a beast demon. How strong exactly could he actually be?


    There was also a slight hint of fear in the vice captain’s eyes. The hands behind him were shaking uncontrobly as he turned to Brother Bao’s trusted man. “What kind of man was he like?”


    “He was a handsome man, seems to be in his mid-20s, and his weapon is a pitch-ck katana. On the surface, he looked like he has reached the stage of a Martial Master,” that man recalled as he trembled in fear.


    Mid-20s?


    Everyone was shocked again as they heard that. It was simply unbelievable that a young man in his mid-20s was capable of killing a demon beast.


    “His power is unfathomable. I couldn’t even get a clear view of how he moved before he slit the throats of Heigou and the rest,” that man with a long face said in fear.


    At this time, the atmosphere around the ck Blood Mercenary Corps became heavy as they knew that they had met an intimidating figure that was not meant to be messed easily with around.


    “Is he close to the people of Ziyue Cave Heaven?” the vice captain asked.


    “Seems like it. He was protecting them,” that man replied.


    The vice captain’s face changed. “Sh*t. The captain will be attacking Ziyue Cave Heaven today. He might end up facing our captain. I can’t let this happen. We have to rush to Ziyue Cave Heaven to assist our captain.”


    As he finished speaking, he started charging towards the direction of Ziyue Cave Heaven.


    However, none of the rest followed up as they all were petrified.


    “You guys?” the vice captain stopped and asked them in confusion.


    “Vice Captain, that was a powerful man who could even kill a beast demon. What can we do even if we had gone there?” the man with a long face asked bitterly.


    Everyone had the same thought as him. The opponent was simply too powerful, and that had crushed everyone’s will to fight.


    The vice captain was in wrath, but he agreed with the man with a long face. There was nothing they could do, and their presence would probably only add to the casualties.
