Chapter 1482: Chapter 717: Garan Ancient Snake and Two-headed Crane Phoenix!_2
Fang Muâs ability to form a covenant with the ancient serpent Kaâan was a stroke of fortune for him. But wasnât it also a stroke of fortune for the serpent itself?
If it hadnât chanced upon Fang Mu, this ancient Kaâan serpent wouldnât have received such incredible blessings!
Ordinarily, the serpentâs egg wouldnât hatch so quickly, but due to the catalytic effect of the Covenant Blood Essence, the process of hatching was already underway.
It should hatch within one or two days.
Fang Mu silently thought to himself that before the serpentâs egg successfully hatched, he must ensure that no accidents occur.
Because the Dimensional Channel connects directly to Fang Muâs room, if any uncontrollable risks arise, he would have no choice but to destroy this channel and retreat to the Beastmaster world!
Otherwise, if Fang Mu hesitates even slightly and lets creatures from the higher-dimensional world enter the Beastmaster world through the channelâŠ
The residents of the mountain manor would be forced to face imminent danger!
The aura released from the recent battle between Kaâan and the Two-headed Crane Phoenix had not yet dissipated and was likely to linger for a long time.
Unless a creature far stronger than Kaâan and the Two-headed Crane Phoenix appeared, other beings wouldnât dare interfere.
After completing the covenant with the serpentâs egg, Fang Mu turned his focus to the remains of Kaâan and the Two-headed Crane Phoenix.
Back when Fang Mu had just physically arrived in this dimensional world, the Blood of Abundance had begun to pulsate wildly within his body.
This current pulsation of the Blood of Abundance was more intense than all previous pulses combined!
Fang Mu had never witnessed the Blood of Abundance react in such a way before.
From this, it was clear how advantageous the remains of Kaâan and the Two-headed Crane Phoenix were to the Blood of Abundance.
Resolved, Fang Mu lifted his suppression of the Blood of Abundance, allowing a vast surge of blood-red fog to erupt from within him.
This blood-red fog spread out like the tendrils of the Blood of Abundance.
The fog transformed into a giant mouth and, with great effort, engulfed the colossal remains of Kaâan entirely!
This left Fang Mu both shocked and surprised!
He had originally thought it would be necessary to break Kaâanâs enormous body into pieces for the Blood of Abundance to absorb.
This clearly showed Fang Mu had underestimated the devouring capabilities of his Life Bound Beastmasterâs Blood of Abundance!
After consuming Kaâanâs remains, the blood-red fog did not stop.
It wrapped itself around the Two-headed Crane Phoenixâs body, clearly intending to absorb it as well!
The Two-headed Crane Phoenix was much smaller than Kaâan, so its remains were quickly engulfed by the Blood of Abundance.
The blood-red fog also swept up the surrounding carcasses of giant beasts, swallowing them all into the Blood of Abundanceâs depths.
At that moment, Fang Mu felt a surge of movement within the Blood of Abundance, which seemed to be experiencing a rejection reaction.
Just when Fang Mu thought the Blood of Abundance had consumed too much and would soon expel Kaâanâs and the Two-headed Crane Phoenixâs remainsâŠ
The Blood of Abundance disgorged only a single egg, its surface painted with black and white hues, speckled with vermilion spots.
Using the Innate Divine Skill [Eye of Omniscience] associated with the Foolâs Shadow, Fang Mu had learned that when the Two-headed Crane Phoenix prepared to bear offspring, it developed a pouch-like structure under its dense plumage.
This pouch served as a protective chamber for incubating the egg.
Thanks to this unique feature, the Two-headed Crane Phoenix could move freely even while nurturing its offspring!
As Fang Mu gazed at the egg, his face showed a trace of emotion.
At this moment, Fang Mu vaguely deduced the reason behind the battle between the Two-headed Crane Phoenix and Kaâan.
The life force inside the egg was exceedingly fragile, clearly needing immense energy to sustain and recover its vitality.
The Two-headed Crane Phoenix had risked everything, hoping to slay Kaâan and use both Kaâan and its unhatched egg to secure a chance at life for its offspring!
Being a flight-based bird beast, the Two-headed Crane Phoenix was particularly adept at countering Kaâan. Kaâanâs decision to fight instead of fleeing was likely motivated by its determination to protect its own progeny.
This egg of the Two-headed Crane Phoenix was undoubtedly an unexpected boon for Fang Mu.
Fang Mu raised his hands to inspect the curse left upon him by the exhausted Blood Flower Spirit.
Despite the curse, the rate at which Fang Mu could condense Contracting Blood remained agonizingly slow.
The next drop of Contracting Blood would take another two days to form.
At present, Fang Mu was still unable to form a covenant with this egg of the Two-headed Crane Phoenix. Having been separated from its motherâs presence, the eggâs life force was already critically weak.
In two days, the egg would most likely lose its vitality entirely!
In desperation, Fang Mu took out several liters of Blood Aged Wine and poured it directly onto the egg.
Creatures as advanced as the Two-headed Crane Phoenix, even when in a weakened state, instinctively absorbed beneficial resources.
Blood Aged Wine was an exceptional resource for any living being!
As the egg absorbed the wine, not only did its life force cease to dwindle, but it even grew stronger.
With its current condition, the egg of the Two-headed Crane Phoenix could sustain itself until Fang Mu managed to condense Contracting Blood and use it to form a covenant.
Once the covenant was completed, Fang Mu would learn exactly what kind of energy the egg required to hatch.
After a moment of contemplation, Fang Mu summoned Yan Yubanruo and tasked it with commanding an army of dead creatures to guard the entrance to the Dimensional World.
Then, spurred by the pulsations of the Blood of Abundance, Fang Mu set off to scour the area, absorbing the carcasses of giant beasts.
All of these beasts were already dead, and their remains would rot with time.
Once decomposition began, the life energy within these carcasses would significantly diminish!
Fortunately, the physical resilience of these giant beasts slowed the process of decay considerably.
Over the next few days, the Blood of Abundance consumed tens of thousands of giant beast remains.
As Fang Mu explored further, he noted the increasing decomposition of these remains, which prompted the Blood of Abundance to end its pulsations.
During these days spent harvesting the remnants, Fang Mu found himself growing numb to the process.
Fang Mu could not predict whether the Blood of Abundance could leverage these carcasses to evolve towards godlike quality.
After all, the Blood of Abundance had yet to advance to Legendary Quality, so achieving godlike quality seemed far off.
During these days, Blood of Abundance not only consumed the giant beast remains but also actively digested and absorbed them.
Even the life energy contained within the ordinary remains was remarkable, let alone the profound vitality harbored by the Two-headed Crane Phoenix and Kaâan!
The Blood of Abundance showed signs of qualitative improvement.
Blood-red fog continued to swirl thickly around Fang Mu, while the swirling black Goat Skull in his eyes momentarily concealed its grayish shadows.
Black spell-like markings appeared across Fang Muâs face.
These markings resembled thorns, displaying an eerie yet beautiful aesthetic.
The symbols did not linger long on Fang Muâs body before spreading and disappearing beneath his clothing.
When it consumed the bodies of Kaâan and the Two-headed Crane Phoenix earlier, the Blood of Abundance hadnât manifested its true form.
But now, it emerged before Fang Mu.
The Blood of Abundanceâs grotesque, fleshy pit convulsed madly, disgorging and reabsorbing torrents of blood-red fog.
If someone had witnessed Fang Mu and the Blood of Abundance in this state, they would surely mistake Fang Mu for an aberrant deity performing an ancient, unfathomable ritual.
For nearly an hour, this unsettling scene persisted, during which Fang Mu felt an overwhelming and insatiable hunger.
Fang Mu hurriedly drew multiple servings of nutritional meals from his Purple Ice Crystal Ring and ravenously devoured them.
