Chapter 711 – Bone Weapon
Chapter 711 – Bone Weapon
After tangling for a dozen rounds, the lion-headed Orc suddenly realized something and looked at the Buddha beads with eyes full of hatred.
“I know, this is a magic weapon melted from the bones of my people, you human race, really vicious!”
“Counting you still have a bit of color in your eyes, huh, you and my two clans are enemies in life and death, saying what is mischievous or not, don’t you think it’s too naive?”
Blue River shouted, continued to attack towards the lion-headed Orc, with the Buddha beads in his hand, he steadily suppressed the other party.
“Big brother Blue River, let me help you!”
Seeing that the situation was great, Guo Xuelian also couldn’t help but offer up a flying sword to help Blue River.
The lion-headed Orc got rid of the constraints of the Buddha beads and split the flying sword with his cross hand, smiling coldly.
“With just a few of you, do you want to keep me?”
As soon as the words fell, he activated his recluse method and vanished towards the distance.
Blue River hurriedly jumped to chase after him, but the lion-headed Orc had prepared for it, and didn’t chase after him for long before he lost him.
He couldn’t help but look stagnant, he didn’t expect to let this lion-headed Orc escape if he wasn’t paying attention!
The flying sword was destroyed, Guo Xuelian’s face was slightly white, she took out an elixir and took it, then looked at Lan He.
“Should we continue to follow?”
Lan He shook his head with a grave expression, “He has prepared for this, there’s no need to chase after him, wait for Tang Yue’s injuries to improve before meeting up with the others in the group.”
Blue River was very familiar with the terrain in this area, and soon found a hidden hideout.
After confirming that there were no traces of Orcs in the surroundings, he laid down a formation to conceal the aura of several people.
“I’ve explored this place, it’s relatively safe, let’s rest here for half a day first.”
Tang Yue’s face was a bit ugly, “Only resting for half a day is too short, my injuries are very serious, I’m afraid I need to rest for at least three days.”
Lan He swept over the injuries on his body, his face pale.
“The military situation is urgent, there is a possibility of receiving a new mission at any time, being able to have half a day to use for rest and recuperation is already the maximum I can fight for.”
Tang Yue was about to speak, but when he saw that Lan He had no intention of changing his mind, he could only swallow the words in his mouth again, and found a corner to start conditioning his injuries.
“The two of you also used up a lot of aura just now, seize the time to recover properly.”
After saying that, Lan He then walked to the side to temper himself.
That Buddha Bead had a strong restraining effect on Orcs, but when he activated it, not only did he need to use up a lot of Spiritual Qi, but he also had to endure a not-so-small amount of backlash, which was also not a small burden for him.
Seeing that Lan He had already started to meditate and exhale, Guo Xuelian could only withdraw her gaze for the time being and pressed down the questions in her heart.
Anyway, there was still a lot of time, so it wasn’t too late to ask again in a while.
The other three were all working on their energy, and Xu Chuniang also found a corner to sit down on her knees.
Recalling the terrifying speed of aura absorption when she was running the Taixu Easy Heart Sutra, she subconsciously slowed down the speed of running her gongfu by several times, and she really didn’t attract the attention of the other three.
Guo Xuelian absorbed the spiritual qi while secretly keeping an eye on Lan He’s movements, and when she saw that he had stopped meditating, she hurriedly ended her gong operation in a smooth manner and opened her mouth as if she hadn’t thought about it.
“By the way, big brother Lan He, I heard that lion-headed Orc mention earlier that your string of Buddha beads was refined from the bones of other Orcs.
Could the restraining effect of the Buddha beads on Orcs be related to this?”
At those words, Xu Chuniang opened her eyes and looked over towards where the two were.
She was also a bit curious about the string of Buddha beads that Lan He used.
Within the Buddha beads, there was a very odd power that seemed to be able to suppress the bloodline of Orcs, causing their strength to be discounted quite a bit. Lan He pondered for a moment, “It won’t hurt to tell you, these things aren’t considered confidential, you’ll naturally understand if you stay in the army for a few more days.
This string of Buddha beads is not a magic weapon but a bone weapon, it is made from the bones of Orcs, smelted by special means of refining, and has great restraining power against Orcs.”
Guo Xuelian was delighted in her heart and blurted out.
“Then if we refine some more of these bone weapons, won’t we be assured of victory when we face the half-orcs?”
It wasn’t like Orc bones were a rare thing, hard but pliable, lacking plasticity.
If it could be used to smelt magic weapons that suppressed Orcs, it would be perfect.
Blue River shook his head, “This bone weapon is extremely difficult to refine, if we could really have one, the human race would not have to fight with the Orcs for so many years, but we have not been able to distinguish a winner from a loser.”
With that, he took out the Buddha beads and handed them to Guo Xuelian.
“Count how many Buddha beads there are in total.”
Guo Xuelian carefully took the Buddha beads and felt them carefully.
“There are twenty-one in total, and three of them, it seems to be a bit extra heavy.”
Lan He smiled faintly, “Then do you know where the bones were used to refine these Buddha beads?”
Guo Xuelian thought about it and asked tentatively.
“The leg bones of Orcs are as hard as jade, and are commonly used to refine weapons, could it be that these Buddha beads, are not made from their leg bones?”
Lan He shook his head, “It’s the Orc skulls that are used, and, for each skull, only one Buddha bead can be smelted.”
Guo Xuelian was slightly shocked and couldn’t help but look down at the Buddha bead string in her hand.
There were a total of twenty-one Buddha beads in this string, and to melt such a string of Buddha beads, wouldn’t it require twenty-one skulls?
Hearing this, Xu Chuniang was equally surprised.
When she had escaped from the mines some years ago, she had also killed a few Orcs, only that she was too busy fleeing at the time to collect their skeletons.
Orcs were tall and stocky, with the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage in their lifetime, and as long as they reached adulthood, they would be comparable to the Human Spirit Transformation Stage.
I’m afraid that all of these Orcs that were melted into Buddha beads had a cultivation level of at least the God Transformation Stage in their lifetime.
And just now Guo Xuelian said, there are three Buddha beads extra heavy, I’m afraid that the cultivation of these three half-orcs in their lifetime, even more than the God Transformation Stage.
Guo Xuelian obviously also thought of these, she returned the Buddha beads to Lan He and laughed at herself.
“It’s me who thought of this matter too simply, with my cultivation, I don’t know how many years it would take to kill so many Orcs and collect their skulls.”
“Collecting the skulls is the easiest part, how to melt them into Buddha beads is the key.
It just so happens that I’m free now, let’s show you guys a hand, how much you can read depends on your enlightenment.”
Blue River put away the Buddha beads, took out an Orc’s skull, and directly started melting it with his hands.
He first wrapped the entire skull with his spiritual energy, then continuously compressed it from the outside to the inside.
He saw the large skull slowly collapse under the effect of the spiritual energy, getting smaller and smaller, and also getting harder and more solid.
When the skull melted and shrunk to the size of a fist, only to hear a “click”, the whole skull from the inside to the outside of the bottom exploded, broken into seven or eight parts of varying sizes of bone.
“Failed.”
Blue River’s expression was natural, obviously having experienced this situation countless times, he had long been accustomed to it.
