Chapter 1388: Extra: The Quiet One (2)
“If they can’t go to the battlefield… the entire tribe might have no future.”
The middle-aged man in leather armor simply sighed.
The middle-aged man remained silent.
Silent.
Suddenly, he sensed something and abruptly turned his head.
In the setting sun, he saw a young boy, with a frail body, walking step by step, yet his footing was steady. His shadow was drawn long, very long by the sunset.
“You’re still not giving up…”
The middle-aged man spoke, but before he could finish his sentence, he sensed something, shockingly said:
“Bone Tempering Realm?!”
He looked at the young boy, his pupils contracted!
A month ago, this young boy wasn’t even in the Blood Refining stage, and now, he had become a Bone-Tempered Warrior?
How is this possible…
A fantasy!
“Bone Tempering…?”
The young boy was somewhat bewildered, but the bewildered look quickly passed. He gritted his teeth, looked at the middle-aged man, and said:
“Please, try again!”
He straightened his body, saying:
“This time, I will not fall again!”
The middle-aged man walked up to him, reached out his hand, and placed it on his shoulder.
But, the young boy didn’t feel the intense pain he expected.
He lifted his eyes, looking at the man in confusion.
“What’s your name?”
The middle-aged man also looked at him, seemingly with a different expression in his eyes.
The young boy said:
“Grandpa calls me… Lone One.”
The middle-aged man was a bit puzzled, somewhat bewildered by such a name…
However, he didn’t dwell on it, and asked:
“Did you use Bone Fracture Herb?”
Lone One nodded and said:
“I… is this considered cheating?”
There was some worry on his face.
But, the middle-aged man suddenly smiled and said:
“Yes.”
The young Lone One’s face turned tense.
“However, this kind of cheating, only you in the entire tribe could do, so, I permit you… to become a Blood Guard!”
The middle-aged man spoke.
Hearing this, an excited expression appeared on the face of the young Lone One!
“Join the ranks, train in Demonic Bull Fist with them.”
The middle-aged man patted him on the shoulder.
The young boy immediately ran into the ranks of the Blood Guards.
His figure was like a gust of wind.
…
“The Bone Fracture Herb… actually made someone with ordinary bones reach the Bone Tempering level…”
Next to the middle-aged man, the leather-armored knife-wielding man had a hint of shock on his face.
This experiment, others had attempted before.
Yet, ordinary people who took the Bone Fracture Herb… all died.
Even those with Great Accomplishment in Blood-Refining Realm, if they took it, the survival rate was only one-fifth!
This boy named Lone One… was simply a miracle.
“Go find Grandpa, I’m very curious… how this was achieved.”
The middle-aged man spoke, “If possible… our tribe might be saved!”
If others could also succeed, then more warriors would be born in the tribe!
…
Soon after, they arrived in front of a stone house.
An old man was grinding herbs.
He was bent with age, hair gray and white.
“Zhan Shi, Mad Knife, greets Grandpa.”
The middle-aged man and the knife-wielding man spoke.
The old man lifted his eyes, looking at Zhan Shi and Mad Knife, puzzled for a moment, then sighed, saying:
“Here because of Lone One?”
The middle-aged warrior nodded, saying:
“One month… in just one month, his bones reached the Bone Tempering level, able to bear Spiritual Energy!”
The old man said:
“Indeed… one month, one month is so long.”
He suddenly turned around, leading the two into a dark secret room.
In the secret room, there were many jars and bottles, engraved with bloody runes.
As if sensing the living entering, the jars and bottles shook violently, as if wild beasts were dying, like wailing ghosts.
Even Zhan Shi and Mad Knife, who were battle-hardened, couldn’t help but shiver at this moment.
In front of the dark secret room, two logs were tied into a cross, with a blood-stained rope draped over it.
“I know why you are here.”
The old man spoke slowly, pointing at the cross in front:
“He was tied here for a month, taking one Bone Fracture Herb every hour.”
Upon hearing this, Zhan Shi and Mad Knife’s faces changed dramatically!
Taking one Bone Fracture Herb every hour?
This… was too shocking.
Even a person with Blood Refining Realm would at most consume one in a lifetime!
And the young boy, how many had he consumed in this month?
Nearly a thousand!
“How… did he survive?”
Zhan Shi asked in a daze.
The old man pointed at the jars and bottles nearby and said:
“These Malevolent Spirits can substitute fate.”
Zhan Shi glanced around the jars and bottles, further astounded.
It was a kind of evil art, allowing Malevolent Spirits to enter oneself. If one could suppress those ghosts, it was equivalent to having a second life.
But the cost was enormous… once Malevolent Spirits entered an ordinary person’s body, the original soul would be eaten away.
Equivalent to being possessed.
Even if they survived, they would often go mad.
No one in the entire tribe dared to try.
“He let the Fierce Ghosts enter his body, then devoured those Fierce Ghosts, substituting his death.”
The old man showed a complex smile and said:
“He succeeded in bone tempering, having devoured seven hundred and eighty-one Fierce Ghosts alive!”
At this moment, the entire room was as cold as death.
Zhan Shi and Mad Knife were stunned.
“He… wasn’t possessed?”
Mad Knife muttered.
The old man shook his head and said:
“No… his will is stronger than anyone I’ve ever seen, his soul… even frightens ghosts.”
