Zither Emperor Chapter 261 Chapter 76 The Mediocre War Behemoth Part 2_1

261: Chapter 76: The Mediocre War Behemoth (Part 2)_1 261: Chapter 76: The Mediocre War Behemoth (Part 2)_1 Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “No wonder I felt both my Douqi and spiritual power had improved, especially my Douqi.

It’s a pity that I’ve lost all my abilities now; otherwise, I would have known to what extent they’ve improved.

Although we’ve paid a significant price on this trip to the Northernmost Wilderness, the gains have been equally massive.

With Glacis, a powerful rank Ten Demon Beast on our side, your being the King of the Beastman is just a matter of time.”

Hearing Ye Yinzhu’s words, Zi didn’t feel excited but revealed a bitter smile instead, “It’s not that easy.

I only realized after subduing him that Glacis isn’t as useful as we’d hoped for us.”

“Ah?” Ye Yinzhu looked incredulous at Zi.

He had witnessed Glacis’s strength firsthand.

Under their collective assault, the War Behemoth had ultimately submitted—after all, it was a rank Ten Magical Beast!

He really couldn’t understand why Zi would label Glacis as ‘chicken ribs’.

Zi replied with a wry smile, “Listen to me explain, and you’ll understand.

While you were unconscious these past few days, I inquired about Glacis’s condition.

He offered his Soul Fire to me; naturally, he wouldn’t lie.

Now I know that our ancestors’ judgment of the War Behemoth wasn’t correct.

The true weakness of the War Behemoth wasn’t in speed.

You saw it yourself that day.

With his strength and powerful defensive power, who could stop him from accelerating?

Even if he’s slow to start, once he speeds up, the War Behemoth bees unstoppable.”

Ye Yinzhu felt a hint of foreboding, “Then where does his true weakness lie?”

Zi said, “It’s in his recovery ability.

The War Behemoth possesses incredibly strong defenses, but his recovery ability is so poor that it’s worse than the most ordinary Low-rank magical beast.

Although it’s difficult to injure him, once he is hurt, recovery bees much more problematic, and it takes a very long time to heal gradually.

Considering the spiritual damage you did to him that day, it might take ten or eight years for him to recover fully.

And when he is spiritually wounded, his defensive power decreases significantly.

If his enemy is a Grand Spirit Sorcerer, then he is in big trouble.”

Ye Yinzhu stared blankly at Zi, “How could this be?

But ten years isn’t too long; as long as he can recover, it would still be worth it, even if it’s ten years.

It seems we can only wait.” He now understood why Zi had a bitter smile.

They had gone through so much effort to tame a powerful magical beast, only for it to end up useless.

However, Glacis’s impact force should still be there, and as long as they could harness it, without a strong Spirit Mage present, it could still inflict devastating damage on any army.

Zi said, “Also, we can’t take him with us.”

Ye Yinzhu, surprised, asked, “Why?

Isn’t the Soul Fire enough to restrain him?”

Zi shook his head and said, “No.

The offering of Soul Fire is the highest form of constraint for any magical beast.

We can’t take him with us because we simply can’t afford to care for him.”

“Ah?

You mean…” Ye Yinzhu was starting to understand.

Zi nodded and said, “Remember his original size?

Just imagine how much food such a massive body needs daily to be satisfied.

Plus, he burns body heat very quickly and needs a substantial amount of food every day.

His appetite alone is at least equivalent to the rations of a human legion.

With our current situation, who could afford to keep him?

And, the War Behemoth is a carnivore; he doesn’t eat grain.

With a body as large as a Giant dragon, he needs to eat at least three dragons a day.

Are we supposed to catch three dragons for him daily?”

“Uh…” Ye Yinzhu was at a loss for words.

With such a multitude of weaknesses behind his strength, he now realized that the two bugs he had tamed weren’t so bad after all.

“Then how has he managed to survive here?

By your account, he should have eaten the Frosty Forest to the ground over a thousand years.”

Zi smiled, a smile tinged with helplessness, “You’ve forgotten where we are.

This place is not only the core of the Frosty Forest, but it’s also the northernmost point of the continent.

The magical beasts here might get eaten within a thousand years, but creatures from one place here will never run out.”

A lightbulb went off in Ye Yinzhu’s mind, “Are you talking about the Ice Sea?”

Zi nodded, “Exactly, the Ice Sea.

Glacis chose this place as his home out of necessity.

With such an appetite, to survive on the continent, he would have to initiate a bloody slaughter and would sooner or later be attacked in turn.

His ancestors became scarce because of this.

The War Behemoth also has another name: Devourer of Life.

To live and eat, this place is almost his only choice.

Red Spirit found a huge warm jade under this Ice Ring a few days ago, so the area here, despite being the far north, has a high temperature inside the Ice Ring.

Glacis has always lived on this warm jade to maintain his body temperature.

His body lays beneath the ice, but his head stretches into the Ice Sea.

With his capabilities, he can naturally draw enough air from the water to survive.

Every day, he just needs to swallow vast numbers of creatures from the sea into his belly like a whale and then spew the water out, consuming minimal energy to sustain the energy needed for living.

And sleeping daily within the warm jade has also made his strength improve quickly, even surpassing his ancestors, making it so difficult for us to deal with him.”

Ye Yinzhu also laughed, “Then his life is too monotonous, just eating and waiting for death every day?”

Zi helplessly said, “Having food is better than starving.

Most magical beasts think this way.

So, we can’t take Glacis with us.”

Ye Yinzhu pondered for a moment before saying, “Not being able to take him might not mean there’s no way.

You have the Soul Fire he offered; you should be able to summon him through that.”

Zi nodded, “Summoning him isn’t a problem.

But the summoning through Soul Fire among us magical beasts is different from human contract summoning; it requires a substantial amount of spiritual power.

And the amount is determined by the summoned creature’s strength.

With Glacis’s power, I’m afraid even bining both of our spiritual powers might not bring him forth.

It seems that to use him to our advantage, we really have to wait ten or eight years until I grow stronger.”

Ye Yinzhu managed a slight smile and said, “We’re still young; we have plenty of time.

Once my spiritual power is restored, we’ll head back.

Will you e with me to Qin City?”

Zi nodded, “Of course I’ll go.

I’ll see if there’s anything I can help with.

Qin City is in a good location; it will be our rear base.

Whether it’s for you or for me, we must make Qin City even better.”

Ye Yinzhu said, “I don’t know how Sister Anya has transformed Qin City during this time.

After I go back to the academy, it seems I really need to find a way to make some money.

You can never have too much money when building a city, especially since Qin City is so remote, hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest city, which makes resource mobilization very difficult.”

Zi smiled and said, “Money is indeed a problem, but it’s not too difficult to solve.

The hides and crystal cores of advanced-rank magical beasts are highly valued in your human world.

The remains of the few rank Nine Beasts you have can still be sold for some money.

Let’s wait until we get to Qin City and then carefully plan how to build our future base.”

Ye Yinzhu laughed, “We’ve even overe the crisis posed by a rank Ten Demon Beast, what could possibly stump us brothers?”

“Yes, nothing can confuse us.

Yinzhu, you should rest well; I’m going out.”

“Zi, how is Sura doing?

I heard from Haiyang that he seems to be ill.”

Zi replied, “Yinzhu, haven’t you found your roommate a bit mysterious?”

Ye Yinzhu was taken aback, “Why do you say that?”

Zi mused, “That day, when we were fighting against Glacis, he transformed into a cloud of black mist and rushed towards Glacis with the Silver Dragon summoned by Ma Liang.

However, in the end, it was not the Silver Dragon’s power, with its sacrificial skill, that hurt Glacis, but Sura.

Even though he took advantage of the injury Dis had previously inflicted on Glacis to break through, the power he displayed in that instant was shocking, far beyond what a Green rank assassin could achieve.”

Ye Yinzhu frowned slightly, “Zi, are you doubting Sura?”

Zi shook his head, “I wouldn’t say doubt.

At least I can be certain he means you no harm and would do anything for you.

I’ve seen that very clearly throughout our journey.

No matter when, he has always stayed by your side and has been the first to charge forward whenever you were in danger.

From this, it is clear that his affection for you does not fall short of mine.

But he is indeed mysterious.

I think it would be better for you to talk to him.”

Ye Yinzhu thought for a moment and said, “I don’t think that’s necessary.

Everyone has their own secrets, don’t we?

Since Sura doesn’t want to talk about it, he must have his reasons.

As long as I know he’s my good brother and treats me well, that’s enough.”

Zi nodded, “Perhaps you’re right.

There’s not a big problem with Sura; it’s just that he has severely overexerted his strength.

He will recover after some rest.

You should rest too; I’m going out now.”

After Zi left, Ye Yinzhu still leaned against the tent and did not lie down.

The events that had occurred since entering the Northernmost Wilderness echoed in his mind.

Contemplating his experiences during this time, he was unaware that he was gradually maturing.

There is a saying that reads: “Traveling thousands of miles teaches more than reading thousands of books.” Through the trials of this journey, he had made significant progress, both in terms of strength and mindset.

At least now, he had a much better grasp of the bigger picture than before.

He propped up his body with some effort, looked at the dimly glowing Green Silk in his hand, and started to cultivate using the method of Zhu Douqi.

He had to restore his body before he could restore his spiritual power, and Zhu Douqi, a qi filled with the essence of life, was obviously the most suitable for this purpose.
