Chapter 486: Asking For Carcasses

Ou Yangming reached out to carry the little bird on his shoulder. He vaguely understood something when he looked at the senseless bird.

The little bird said it was one of the memories in its bloodline inheritance, but it was watching the scene for the first time.

It was evident that the bloodline memories that were inherited were separated into different levels. Perhaps the little bird would have the authority to read more powerful memories once it arrived at a certain stage. This time, it thought about the Dragons when it heard about the Aquatics, which was why it forced itself to do something like that.

Nonetheless, at the end of the day, the little bird was not capable enough. Therefore, before the fight between the dragon and the phoenix began, the pressure from the momentums crushed the spiritual world built by the little bird.

Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and was glad.

‘We’re lucky that the situation turned out like that. If the scene went on, not to mention Big Yellow, even I will end up suffering too.’

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming felt like his hands were tied when he looked at the unconscious little bird. He hesitated for a while, then the Military Fire in his sea of consciousness flickered and emerged from his hand. As such, intense flame energy gushed into the bird’s body.

The little bird’s body was extremely tough. It could not be harmed by the Military Fire, which could consume gold and melt iron.

Having said that, Ou Yangming’s face changed at the next instant.

This was because he realized that the little bird’s body was like a bottomless hole. Regardless of the amount of flame energy, the bird’s body could not be filed at all.

Ou Yangming gritted his teeth and turned his wrist as he retrieved an interspatial bag. He retrieved the flesh and blood inside with a flash of thought, and his dagger shone as well when he attached the Devouring power to it.

It was not his first time doing this, hence it finished doing everything in the blink of an eye and with ease.

Following that, Ou Yangming stabbed the dagger hard into the flesh.

Ever since Ou Yangming possessed interspatial bags, he began paying more attention to resources, by which he had intentionally emptied three of them to store the flesh and blood of formidable ferocious beasts. The qualities of those flesh and blood could not be compared with that of spirit beasts and half-spirit beasts, but he had plenty of them. As the young fellow released the Devouring power, the flesh converted into endless energy into his body.

Those energies were transformed by his body into an even more forceful Military Fire, which was sent into the little bird’s body.

Despite that, the flesh and blood stored in an interspatial bag could not go on for long; they were cleared very quickly. Ou Yangming’s face twitched, and he finally understood why these top-notch powerhouses were unwilling to stay in this world.

This world could not afford to feed these fellows at all. Furthermore, if they needed to recover when something happened to them here, they would only yield half the result even if they put in twice the effort. In fact, they might end up dying if they were careless. Therefore, as long as it was possible, real powerhouses would head to higher realms.

Ou Yangming prepared a total of three interspatial bags with flesh and blood, but the little bird did not show signs of waking up even after he devoured everything.

Feeling helpless, Ou Yangming curbed his Military Fire and pondered for some time. He returned the little bird into the birdcage.

The young fellow noticed Big Yellow looking alarmed and afraid as soon as he pushed the door open. He made fun of the big yellow dog. “Useless fella!”

Big Yellow was not ashamed at all. It shook its head and wagged its tail as it approached Ou Yangming and flashed a flattering smile at him. Even so, the big yellow dog stared at the door from time to time. It would likely escape if the little bird came out at this moment.

Ou Yangming left his room and swiftly headed to the Governor’s Residence.

He arrived outside his destination after a brief moment. The place was still brightly lit even though it was late at night.

The Insects had caused huge damage to Changlong City, thus there were many things to handle inside and out. Being the governor, Deng Xiyuan was naturally up all night.

Ou Yangming hesitated when he looked at the busy Governor’s Residence, but he decided to enter in the end. There were several guards outside the residence, and they noticed the young fellow long ago. That said, before they could approach him to ask his purpose of visitation, their visions went blurry, and the fellow was nowhere to be seen.

The guards looked at each other and felt oppressive chills, so they could not help but shiver.

They were familiar with Ou Yangming’s name but had not seen him in person before, hence it was reasonable that they could not recognize him.

Deng Xiyuan was receiving various officers in his residence as they discussed how to handle the aftermath of the war. It was then when the governor’s face changed all of a sudden, and he turned to cup his hands in the door’s direction. “Master Ou, why have you come?”

The other people turned and spotted Ou Yangming right away. Some of them had seen the young fellow before, but some of them did not know him. Regardless, they bowed at him and dared not relax at all.

Ou Yangming nodded and cut to the chase. “Governor Deng, I’ve come to ask for a favor.”

“Master Ou, please let me know what you need,” Deng Xiyuan quickly responded.

The young fellow nodded. “I suppose there are plenty of carcasses of the Insects’ powerhouses after the attack. I need those carcasses, and I need as many as possible.”

Deng Xiyuan was dumbfounded. “Master Ou, may I ask why you need them...”

Ou Yangming cleared his throat. He had come up with an excuse long ago. “You saw the goshawk I brought, right? It has been starving throughout the tough journey.” He looked at Deng Xiyuan and added half-intentionally, “I don’t know what will happen if it can’t fill its stomach.”

“Ah-choo..” The goshawk, which was pretending to sleep in the Ni residence, could not help but sneeze at this moment. It mumbled and closed its eyes again.

“I see, of course. Master Ou, the carcasses in the city have been sorted out already, so I’ll bring you to them now,” Deng Xiyuan replied to the young fellow sternly and added after a pause, “We also found many carcasses outside the city, and those include the dead bodies of two spirit beasts.”

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. He had joined hands with Big Yellow to slice a spirit centipede into pieces. Although they absorbed some energies from its flesh and blood, there were still many energies left. On the other hand, the spirit lizard slaughtered by the goshawk was intact. With that, the remains of the two spirit beasts could definitely be utilized.

“Governor Deng, how do you plan to handle the carcasses of the spirit beasts?” Ou Yangming asked.

Back then, Deng Xiyun would take advantage of every opportunity and gain some benefits for the imperial family.

Now, he could only be a yes-man in front of Ou Yangming, and he dared not make any requests at all.

“Master Ou, you were the one that killed the spirit beasts, so it’s up to you,” the governor answered without any hesitation.

Subtle changes could be seen on the faces of the people behind him. Spirit beasts—those were the carcasses of spirit beasts, after all. Each of the carcasses was priceless, and they wished that they could claim the dead bodies for themselves if it was possible.

However, nobody had the guts to say a word after they saw the faint smile on Ou Yangming’s face.

This was because a strange chill had unknowingly filled the room, causing the people to shudder.

Ou Yangming nodded as he was pleased. “Governor Deng, I need the spirit beasts’ carcasses so please send them over quickly. As for the dead bodies of the other insect powerhouses, I need them too.”

Deng Xiyuan immediately said, “Very well, Master Ou, please come with me.”

He led Ou Yangming to the depot, which was the largest one in the prefecture. The most important things were gathered here, thus the young fellow spotted the carcasses of the two spirit beasts in one glance.

Ou Yangming wondered for a while before he retrieved an interspatial bag and stored the centipede’s body parts inside. Afterward, he chose from the remaining carcasses and filled up three other interspatial bags. As for the lizard’s carcass, it was too massive to be kept in an interspatial bag unless it was slashed into pieces.

Deng Xiyuan and the others watched as Ou Yangming brushed his hand across a little bag, which glowed before the large carcasses disappeared.

The people were in shock because they could tell it was a legendary interspatial bag. Moreover, they could tell that Ou Yangming had more than one of those.

Even ordinary inherited aristocratic families could not possess such a treasure, but Ou Yangming had more than one as though it was not a precious item at all.

Everyone else coveted the interspatial bags. They would have done anything to obtain one of them if someone else possessed them, but they dared not act rashly because it was Ou Yangming. No matter how much they desired the bags, they did not show it on their faces.

Ou Yangming stored whatever he needed then said, “Governor Deng, thanks for the trouble.”

Deng Xiyuan bowed at him and responded, “Master Ou, I’ll arrange everything well for you.”

Subsequently, Ou Yangming smiled and nodded at the others before he left.

Once he was gone, a young man approached Deng Xiyuan and whispered to him, “Uncle, aren’t those interspatial bags?”

Deng Xiyuan nodded in silence and looked rather worried.

“Uncle, those are interspatial bags!” The young man continued, “Besides, he took the carcasses of the spirit beasts and most of the half-spirit beasts. Does that make any sense?”

The governor was stunned, and he finally came back to his senses. He casually turned around and looked strangely at the young man.

“Uncle, you...” The young man was embarrassed and was having goosebumps for being stared at like that.

Without warning, Deng Xiyuan swung his hand to slap the young man on his face. He did not hold back at all, so the enormous force caused the young man to fly away.

“Pow—”

The young man fell hard to the ground and twitched a few times before he passed out.

Everyone else was taken aback. They lowered their heads and dared not look into Deng Xiyuan’s eyes anymore.

“Reckless thing! Drag him out and send him back to the capital after he recovers.’ Deng Xiyuan scoffed. He later turned to look in the direction of the Ni residence and mumbled, “Hopefully, there won’t be disorders in the Humans anymore...”
