Under the gaze of several people, the would-be Soul Grandmaster sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the Soul Ring. He absorbed it very smoothly, after all, the Man-Faced Demon Spider's age was only over two thousand years.
In just over an hour, he successfully completed the absorption. He was just about to stand up and ask Han Li if his previous words still held true, but his body suddenly paused, and a muffled groan escaped his mouth.
In an instant, the clothes on his back were directly torn open, and eight purplish-black spider legs quickly emerged from his back, waving erratically.
As expected, the three people who were either aware of the situation or had previously guessed it, had this thought flash through their minds at the same time.
The next second, the Soul Grandmaster, who had just finished absorbing the Soul Ring and was still in a daze, rolled his eyes and fainted, and the other person beside him also fell directly to the ground.
"What's going on?"
Du Gu Yan turned her head and glanced, a clear voice with a hint of foolishness rang out in the field. Until now, she was still at a loss.
"Sister Yan, it's obvious, it's time to reap the rewards. Look, the External Spirit Bone."
Han Li pointed to the Soul Grandmaster lying on the ground and the eight spider legs still shaking on his back, and replied with a smile.
"The legendary External Spirit Bone? Is that the spider leg?"
Du Gu Yan finally remembered the treasure of the Soul Master world, which she didn't know where she had forgotten in the corner of her memory, and was known as the first alongside the 100,000 Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
"Yes."
"Alright, Senior, please do it. There's poison on it, and it's not convenient for my Master and I to touch it."
Han Li gave a simple response, then turned to look at Dugu Bo.
"Leave it to me. I didn't expect that I would have a day to touch an External Spirit Bone with my own hands. Tsk, what luck."
Dugu Bo clicked his tongue lightly and strode towards the Soul Grandmaster lying on the ground.
The next scene can be said to be extremely cruel. Dugu Bo, in front of several people, forcibly pulled the spider legs from his body. During this period, he was awakened several times by the pain, and then fainted again from the pain.
By the time the thing completely fell into Dugu Bo's hands, there were almost no good bones left on his chest and back, and even the most basic maintenance of the outline could not be done. The chest cavity had collapsed inward.
Dugu Bo didn't forget to slap the two of them, one for each, with solidified Soul Power, the size of one person, so that Han Li's "Fireball Technique" did not appear again.
Of course, Han Li had already informed Broad Hill about directly killing people and scattering ashes and Dugu Bo completely eliminating hidden dangers.
Originally, Han Li wanted to return them to Spirit Hall after using them, but according to Broad Hill, the three of them were already dead people in the records of Spirit Hall, and there was no need for dead people to appear again, so they had to help make the records completely true.
After controlling and extinguishing all the surrounding flames, Han Li also kindly dug a pit for the Man-Faced Demon Spider who had made outstanding contributions, made a grave, and then walked towards the camp with the three of them.
Sure enough, the camp was still usable.
After a simple clean-up, the group gathered around the lit campfire.
Dugu Bo also took out the Soul Bone and placed it on the open space in the middle of the four.
After being dug out, the Soul Bone shrank to the size of an arm. Under the illumination of the fire, some blood stains remained on the purplish-blue Soul Bone, making it look a little hideous.
"So, this is where the little girl's opportunity lies?"
After watching for a long time, Broad Hill took the initiative to speak, and the meaning in his words also showed his attitude towards this Soul Bone.
Dugu Bo didn't speak, but turned his gaze to Han Li. Although he also hoped to give the Soul Bone to his Granddaughter, to be honest, he was completely relying on Han Li's advance preparations to obtain this Soul Bone.
This was an External Spirit Bone, and Han Li was also kind to their grandfather and Granddaughter, so he couldn't bring himself to say it.
"Xiao Li, hurry up and absorb it. This is a rare External Spirit Bone, it will definitely be of great help to you."
Du Gu Yan turned her head to Han Li and said seriously.
Although she knew before that Han Li's "prediction" said that this Soul Beast hunt would have a great harvest, she didn't expect that there would be such a treasure as an External Spirit Bone.
Although Han Li had been saying that the great harvest would be her opportunity, to be honest, she was a little afraid to accept such a precious treasure, and she couldn't accept it.
"What are you talking about, Sister Yan? Of course this Soul Bone will be absorbed by you. I've said it before, this is your opportunity."
Han Li reached out to stop her from speaking, and the Soul Bones lit up on his head and eyes at the same time.
"First of all, I really don't lack this External Spirit Bone. Secondly, I don't play with poison. Looking at it like this, I know it's of the poison attribute, and it's a bit of a waste to absorb it. Finally, it's just an External Spirit Bone. My back is reserved for the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle. Spider legs and I are really not a good match."
After listening to his words, the three of them were amused, annoyed, and a little jealous.
They hadn't even seen the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle yet, and this kid had already reserved someone else's wings as his next External Spirit Bone.
But thinking about the things that had happened to them recently, Immortal Herbs, Martial Soul Evolution, and the two Soul Bones on his body and the External Spirit Bone in front of them, they fell silent again, unable to find a reason to refute.
"Alright, Sister Yan, let Senior go to the side and protect you while you absorb the Soul Bone. I'm a bit tired today and want to rest early. Tomorrow, I still need to find the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle and the Fire Scale Snake."
Han Li didn't want to argue anymore, so he simply chose to escape by sleeping, which could be considered his final decision.
In the flickering firelight, the three of them glanced at Han Li, who had already walked to the side and lay down, deliberately turning his back. They exchanged glances and couldn't help but lighten their movements.
...
The next morning, it was still a bit dark when Han Li was awakened from his sleep by hunger.
Last night, in order to save some words, he forcibly escaped by sleeping, and the price was that he missed dinner. Now, he was suffering the consequences of missing dinner.
He got up and glanced at Dugu Bo, who was still keeping watch by the fire, and Han Li walked over.
"Regret it? Yan Yan has already absorbed the Soul Bone, and the effect is very good."
Dugu Bo turned his head and glanced at the two people still sleeping behind him. He took out a food box from his Treasure Pouch and handed it to him.
This was the food they had specially saved for him last night, but they didn't expect that this kid wouldn't wake up even after Du Gu Yan finished absorbing the Soul Bone, so they had to put it away first.
Han Li took it, smelled the aroma of the food inside, quickly opened it, and stuffed the food into his mouth, saying vaguely as he ate:
"What's there to regret? I already said that the External Spirit Bone was for Sister Yan. As for you and Master, it's not like I can't get other high-year Soul Bones right now. Otherwise, I would have stuffed your whole bodies full."
"Alright, then I'll wait for the day you stuff us full."
His words made Dugu Bo laugh dumbly.
After saying that, he looked at Han Li, who was eating heartily, and sighed, "That was an External Spirit Bone, you know. It's a bit of a loss to use it to trick my Granddaughter."
Han Li's eating movements paused when he heard his words, and he choked on the food in his mouth.
"So, in your eyes, Sister Yan isn't as valuable as a Soul Bone?"
Han Li, who had recovered after drinking some water, looked at Dugu Bo with interest.
"You kid really can't say anything nice. Is that what I meant? Is my Granddaughter the same as you giving it to my Granddaughter?"
Dugu Bo scolded him unhappily, "I can see that you're deliberately tying our grandfather and granddaughter to you. I won't say anything, but Yan Yan can't escape now. The key is that we can't refuse. My old life might be lost to you one day."
"You can rest assured about that. I don't need you to risk your life for me. In ten years at most, it's hard to say whether you can beat me or not," Han Li said seriously as he put a spoonful of soup into his mouth.
Dugu Bo "hmm"ed and stopped talking, just staring blankly at the firelight in a daze.
Just as Han Li finished eating and was about to get up, he heard Dugu Bo's voice again.
"When Yan Yan and you get to Spirit City, take care of her more and treat her well."
"Yeah, don't worry, I never mistreat my own family."
Han Li's body paused for a moment, and he waved his hand towards the back before walking out of the camp.
