"Huh?"
Is there such a strange occurrence?
While extracting the bone marrow, Xu Binghu suddenly noticed sothing wrong. He saw the continuously flowing bone marrow as if it were stuck, coming out intermittently...
"What’s the matter?"
Xu Ran walked over slowly, he also witnessed the scene before him.
He saw the bone marrow coming out intermittently, it seed as though it was about to run out; the bone marrow inside the White Jade Bone was running out!
"Such a big White Jade Bone, is its bone marrow just about to run out like this??" Xu Binghu couldn’t believe it.
They’ve only collected two large buckets so far, which is not enough for the dicinal bath or, even if it is enough, the effects wouldn’t be as good.
The entire Great Wilderness Border Village collected dew drops for Xu Ran just to make the best dicinal bath. And now, abandon everything due to insufficient bone marrow?
Xu Binghu’s face was full of disappointnt. He didn’t expect that the White Jade Bone, painstakingly carried back, would end up like this.
"No!"
Just as Xu Binghu was full of disappointnt, Xu Ran slowly squatted down, a faint golden light once again shimring in his eyes, the golden runes flowing like water on the White Jade Giant Bone appeared again, but slightly different this ti, with slower color and flow.
Seeing this, Xu Ran’s lips slightly curled as he said, "This White Jade Giant Bone still has bone marrow."
Xu Ran’s astonishing words left Xu Binghu at a loss.
"This White Jade Giant Bone has already been split in half, bone marrow isn’t flowing out now, how can there still be so?" Xu Binghu asked in confusion.
Xu Ran slowly stood up, the pocket-sized Flying Sword reappearing above his head.
"That’s right, it was indeed chopped in half just now, and indeed quite a lot of bone marrow flowed out. But, inside the bone, it’s like bamboo, sectional, and just happened to have chopped the middle section in half."
"The marrow in that section flowed out, leaving the rest isolated in other parts, naturally not flowing out anymore!!"
Initially, Xu Ran also thought the inside of the White Jade Giant Bone was continuous like ordinary bones, so while observing its surface runes, he hadn’t noticed.
However, such a large bone only releasing two buckets of marrow was very strange, prompting Xu Ran to closely observe the runes floating on the surface.
He discovered the seemingly continuous runes were blocked segnt by segnt by so mysterious thod, like bamboo, which led to this hypothesis.
"This White Jade Giant Bone is so odd, how could it have such a structure?" Xu Binghu asked, scratching his head in confusion.
In everyone’s understanding, the inside of a complete bone is continuous, how could it be like bamboo??
"What kind of creature was this bone from when it was alive?" Xu Binghu wondered aloud, then looked at Xu Ran: "Xiao Ran, since the interior of the White Jade Giant Bone is so peculiar, you need to use the Flying Sword to cut it."
Among them, only Xu Ran had this capability.
"Hmm!" Xu Ran nodded, then changed the subject, "However, it might take so ti this ti."
"Hmm?"
Xu Binghu was about to ask why, but the pocket-sized Flying Sword hovering above Xu Ran’s head buzzed, then Xu Ran’s fingers ford a sign, and the pocket-sized Flying Sword transford into a white stream of light, rapidly striking the White Jade Giant Bone.
"Dang----"
A crisp sound rang out in the Xu Family courtyard; sparks appeared between the pocket-sized Flying Sword and the White Jade Giant Bone, like the sparks from forging when two extrely hard substances collide.
Now Xu Binghu understood why Xu Ran said those words.
"This... this..."
Xu Binghu stared in disbelief at the scene before him, his fingers trembling constantly, filled with confusion.
Xu Ran’s fingers continuously ford signs, the Innate Qi around his body surged, and the sparks between the pocket-sized Flying Sword and the White Jade Giant Bone beca fewer and fewer.
"If I’m not mistaken, this is the last defense chanism left behind by the White Jade Giant Bone."
When Xu Ran observed the White Jade Giant Bone with his eyes earlier, besides discovering the sectional space inside the whole bone like bamboo, he also found the runes seed to beco more solid.
Yes, indeed more solid!!
This change happened just when Xu Ran chopped it into two halves, hence, said those words.
That said, the pocket-sized Flying Sword on the White Jade Giant Bone transford into a white stream of light and returned to Xu Ran’s head, the bone marrow resud its flow.
Xu Binghu quickly got an empty bucket, collecting the bone marrow that flowed out.
"Xiao Ran, how many such spaces are inside this White Jade Giant Bone?" Xu Binghu asked.
"Ten," Xu Ran replied.
"Ten!" Xu Binghu exclaid, "Does that an activating a defense chanism every ti the giant bone is cut?"
Xu Ran nodded.
Every ti a defense chanism of the giant bone is overco, the remaining space’s defense goes a notch higher, and as it goes further, the defense heightens.
In the first attempt, Xu Ran’s pocket-sized Flying Sword could easily split it in half, while the second ti required so ti, what about the third, fourth,..., ninth ti?
In the end, will Xu Ran’s pocket-sized Flying Sword be able to extract all the bone marrow from inside the giant bone?
As Xu Binghu collected the marrow, he worried deep in his heart.
Soon, two more buckets of marrow were collected, and the marrow in the second space was completely depleted.
Xu Ran, upon noticing, the pocket-sized Flying Sword reappeared, striking towards the White Jade Giant Bone again.
