Chapter 117 Phantom Thunder Silver Shark_i
Translator: 549690339 |
The Phantom Thunder Silver Shark is an ancient aquatic beast with a thunder attribute. It’s huge, silver-white all over, and has sharp teeth and an extremely fast action speed.
It was born to control silver phantom thunder that can attack directly on the soul.
The pure-blooded Phantom Thunder Silver Shark, it is said, has the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage when it reaches adulthood. It is one of the most terrifying hunters in the sea.
When Xu Mu heard that Whale Falling Chen intended to give him a surprise, he realized that the other party might have the beast blood essence he needed.
But, he didn’t expect it to be the rare Phantom Thunder Silver Shark.
However, instead of letting Xu Yiren trade directly with him, the other party announced it in front of everyone at the banquet.
There was a considerable depth in that move.
I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to get the monster beast’s blood essence.
“Does the Gang Leader plan to part with his beloved?”
Xu Mu held a wine glass with a calm demeanor, as if he didn’t care much about getting the beast blood essence.
“My friend jests. It’s just a drop of essence blood. The only reason I waited up till now to mention it is that I wanted to give it to you in person!”
Whale Falling Chen laughed as he pulled out a crystal seal from his storage bag. He used his spiritual power to send it over to Xu Mu.
Inside the seal was a drop of silver-white liquid emitting faint spiritual light. It looked like mercury, slightly undulating.
Xu Mu was slightly surprised.
He had originally thought the other party would have some demand, yet it was given to him so readily.
Only when he received the crystal seal and inspected it did he realize why the other party was so generous.
This was indeed a drop of beast blood essence, but it was not pure. It contained too many impurities, and could only barely be called essence blood.
If this was the case, either the other party’s refining methods were flawed.
Or the original blood volume was too small, could only refine this much, if the refinement were to continue, it might not even be able to maintain a single drop.
This level of essence blood would not satisfy the requirements of the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill.
As if anticipating Xu Mu’s thoughts, Whale Falling Chen took out something else and presented it to Xu Mu.
It was a small section of rib bones, about the size of a human leg bone. It was faintly white and contained thin, silver strands.
“The Phantom Thunder Silver Shark is a top-tier monster beast. With my strength, it’s impossible for me to hunt. All the essence blood I obtained was extracted from this bone!”
Whale Falling Chen took a sip of his wine and smiled, “Would you like to know where this bone came from?”
He’s fishing, right?
As Xu Mu inspected the bone, he thought to himself.
But he did want to know where this bone came from.
If he had enough of these bones, he might be able to extract pure Phantom Thunder Silver Shark blood essence.
The purer the blood, the greater its power.
Moreover, this was a monster beast that completely aligned with him.
Finding this kind of monster beast elsewhere would not be so easy.
So he opened his mouth and said, “I’m interested.”
Whale Falling Chen stroked his grizzled beard. “I accidentally got it from a legacy site. There are bones of more than one Phantom Thunder Silver Shark. At the time of acquisition, I didn’t know what kind of monster beast it was. I realized it was the Phantom Thunder Silver Shark only after extracting the essence blood from it.”
“Legacy site?!”
On hearing Whale Falling Chen’s words, the other guests present could not help but change their expressions.
Because to them, a legacy site was synonymous with treasure.
They were puzzled, not understanding why Whale Falling Chen would reveal this?
Discovering a treasure normally meant concealing it and keeping it a secret, with the intention of taking all for oneself. Now suddenly revealing it, wasn’t he afraid of attracting ill intentions?
After all, the meaning represented by a legacy site was extraordinary, and there were many legends about them.
Many low-level loose cultivators have become legends because they found a legacy site.
“I know what you are all thinking. Since I brought it up, it’s naturally because I want to share it with everyone.”

The crowd looked somewhat unbelieving. After all, who would be willing to share such good fortune?
Noticing their doubts, Whale Falling Chen continued, “You all know my temperament. I’m not one to take risks, and I’m not capable of much. I just want to live out my old age peacefully. Even if it’s about relics, I’m not really that interested.”
Whale Falling Chen shook his head with a smile, exuding an air of profound loneliness.
“Furthermore, the reason why I’m sharing this is not only my personal lack of interest but also because unlocking this relic requires concerted effort from several people!”
“This is an opportunity for us to meet and discuss entering the relic! Of course, if anyone is unwilling, I won’t force them, you can withdraw at any time!”
From Whale Falling Chen’s tone, it could be inferred that he wasn’t too concerned about this exploration. He felt it would be a pity not to go.
Everyone looked at each other, and nobody chose to quit.
Firstly, everyone had known Whale Falling Chen for quite some time, and they believed that he truly had no desire to compete.
Secondly, relics were priceless. If they gave up this opportunity, they might regret it for the rest of their lives.
Xu Mu kept silent, not saying anything.
He also wanted to see the renowned relics for himself. At the same time, such an ancient beast as the phantom thunder silver shark was very rare, so giving it up would indeed be a pity.
However, he needed to play it by ear. If any danger arose, he would run away at the first opportunity.
But given their strength, he shouldn’t encounter any danger.
Seeing that no one wanted to quit, Whale Falling Chen showed a faint smile on his face, which he had anticipated.
After all, such an opportunity was hard to come by. Even he, an old man nearing the end of his life, did not want to give up, let alone the others.
Only Yang Wanshou looked a little hesitant.
He was older than Whale Falling Chen, and to be honest, unless necessary, he didn’t really want to take risks.
But the allure of a relic was too great.
“I dare to ask the gang leader, where is this relic? If it’s too far away, I won’t go. I just can’t handle it!” Yang Wanshou said with a bitter smile.
“Don’t worry, Elder Yang, the relic is not far away, it’s nearby! I discovered it by accident during a underwater exploration! If it wasn’t, I would not have invited you all to go!” Whale Falling Chen laughed.
If the distance was too far, and they all left at the same time, the gang could fall into chaos. So, it would be impossible for Whale Falling Chen to invite them all.
Hearing Whale Falling Chen’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up except for Xu Mu, whose eyes flickered slightly.
If the relic was not too far away, exploring it would have no impact. If there was any gain, it would be a pleasant surprise.
“Gang leader, I always hear that you like to collect resources under the sea, I didn’t expect you to have such luck. It seems that I should often visit the sea in the future too!” Shen Gai said with eagerness.
Although their sea area was relatively remote and lacked spiritual energy, it didn’t mean that there were no treasures here.
Originally somewhat dismissive, now with Whale Falling Chen’s example, not only Shen Gai but also the others felt that they should venture under the sea more often. Especially Zhang Tianluo, who had the bloodline of the Sea Race, it was much easier for her to move underwater.
“If none of you object, why don’t we pick a date in the next few days and explore together?”
“Great!”
“I have no objection!”
“Haha! I didn’t expect to have the opportunity to enter a relic at this age!”
Everyone looked excited, not like they were going on an adventure, but more like a picnic.
Even the usually reticent Wang Yin Xian spoke a few more words.
Honestly, this was indeed a rare opportunity.
Xu Mu didn’t behave differently from the others, showing a similar level of enthusiasm.
After everyone had had their fill of food and drink, Xu Yiren and Shen Gai were asked to stay by Whale Falling Chen to discuss gang matters.
The other four went their separate ways to prepare.
The exploration of the relic was scheduled for five days later.
“Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?”
Back on Misty Morning Island, Xu Mu, holding a crystal sealing the blood essence of the phantom thunder silver shark, pondered.
Although these people posed no threat to him, he didn’t want to be led around by the nose.
After thinking for a long time, he transformed his body and left Misty Morning Island again.
Five days later, the Whale Sea Gang, including Xu Mu, seven Foundation Establishment cultivators, regrouped. Under the leadership of Whale Falling Chen, they each used their magic artifacts and set off towards the relic’s location..
