Chapter 365: Chapter 323: Nascent Soul Storage Pouch
The first thing opened was the storage bag belonging to Venerable Barbaric Tiger.
As a Nascent Soul Cultivator who follows the path of Beast Taming, what kind of surprise would he give me?
Magical power surged, and with a flash of light from the storage bag in his hand, the restriction on it was quickly erased by Zheng Yi.
With a sweep of his divine thought, a huge space appeared before him.
"Huh?"
Zheng Yi’s spear became extremely puzzled and surprised because what appeared before him was not a storage space, but a... Spirit Beast Space!
He had misunderstood.
The bag he took from Venerable Barbaric Tiger’s corpse was not a storage bag, but a Spirit Beast Bag!
It’s specially used to store spirit beasts or small spaces with signs of life, which are very rare.
Compared to a storage bag, the value of a Spirit Beast Bag is undoubtedly higher.
Besides holding a large number of dead objects, it can also store living things!
Of course, living things have their own behaviors and thoughts, and very few people use it to store dead objects.
Now, the space inside Venerable Barbaric Tiger’s Spirit Beast Bag is huge, at least over a thousand cubic meters, filled with a faint bloody aura.
What shocked Zheng Yi even more was that there was a giant beast... a corpse in the space!
It was a black giant serpent, coiled and twisted together like a small mountain.
Unfortunately, it had long lost its breath.
A slender snake head squeezed out from the gap of its fangs, blood dripping, its entire body twisted together, looking extremely frightening.
Even the scales on its body were covered with scars, obviously having struggled violently before it died.
Sadly, trapped inside the Spirit Beast Bag, with nowhere to go, it could only die in despair and confusion.
Looking at this giant serpent corpse, Zheng Yi thought of the giant tiger at Venerable Barbaric Tiger’s side on Spiritless Island.
In his heart, he roughly understood why this giant serpent died here.
Venerable Barbaric Tiger accidentally got sucked into Spiritless Island and chose to release the giant tiger when his magical power was about to be drained.
This giant serpent was left forgotten inside the Spirit Beast Bag.
Perhaps the giant tiger was easier to control and more powerful.
Or maybe this giant serpent was wild and difficult to tame, its strength not matching the giant tiger’s.
So Venerable Barbaric Tiger chose to release the giant tiger, not the giant serpent.
However, in any case, the spirit beast valued by Venerable Barbaric Tiger surely had to be at least at the Golden Core Stage?
Otherwise, wouldn’t that tarnish his Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator reputation?
As a demon beast, its lifespan was several times, or even dozens of times, that of a human.
Unfortunately, this giant serpent, due to being on Spiritless Island, lacked spiritual qi replenishment, had no food, and Venerable Barbaric Tiger couldn’t open the Spirit Beast Bag, could only die of starvation and suffocation over endless time.
Since Venerable Barbaric Tiger could dominate Spiritless Island and occupy an island, he must have stayed on Spiritless Island for at least a hundred years.
Maybe even three or five hundred years.
Surely, only turtle-like demon beasts could survive for hundreds of years without food, without oxygen, and without spiritual qi.
But this proved advantageous for Zheng Yi.
This giant serpent was at least a Golden Core Stage demon beast, its entire body a treasure trove.
Snake scales could be refined into defensive magical treasures, snake meat could be made into spiritual food, and snake fangs could also be refined into magical treasures.
Snake tendons, snake venom, snake eyes, snake gall, etc., all had uses.
If it still had an inner core, it would be even more valuable.
The most important thing was, this serpent’s corpse had been kept in the Spirit Beast Bag, the entire Spirit Beast Space perpetually approaching a frozen state.
The outside spiritual qi and oxygen couldn’t get in, which made this serpent’s corpse extremely fresh, very intact, as if it had been frozen.
"Not bad luck..."
With a thought, Zheng Yi immediately threw the giant serpent’s corpse out of the Spirit Beast Bag, almost taking up the entire quiet room, a strong and rich bloody smell filled his nostrils, almost making it hard to breathe.
He hurriedly took out a large space storage bag and put the serpent’s corpse inside.
"Huh?"
After finishing all this, Zheng Yi discovered something else in the Spirit Beast Bag.
With a sweep of his divine thought.
In the area under the giant serpent’s corpse, there unexpectedly appeared a... serpent egg, more than half a person’s height!
Just now, the giant serpent’s corpse was coiled together, and he hadn’t noticed it.
Now, after moving the serpent’s corpse away, he found it!
Zheng Yi quickly took it out for a closer look.
"A Snake Demon egg? Still has signs of life?"
Zheng Yi murmured, "Could it be that the Snake Demon wasn’t released also due to pregnancy?"
"After laying this serpent egg, it suffered great loss of essence, having no choice but to fall."
"No wonder..."
Creatures like demon beasts have a high life tier, especially Golden Core, Nascent Soul Stage demon beasts.
It’s extremely difficult for them to have offspring, just like Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
Take Bai Cangmu for example.
With a thousand-year lifespan, only having one daughter, Bai Zhirui, shows how difficult it is.
Compared to humans, the chance of Golden Core and Nascent Soul Stage demon beasts producing offspring is even smaller!
This serpent egg before his eyes might have gathered most of the Snake Demon’s life essence before being born.
Its aptitude, root bone, and even life essence, far surpassed that of the deceased Snake Demon.
The most important thing was... it still had breath!
That is to say, this Snake Demon could still hatch.
Creatures like demon beasts and beasts are similar; they have a natural attachment to the first living being they see after birth, treating it as a father or motherly figure.
If he could hatch this Snake Demon, and then sign a spirit beast contract with it...
Thinking of this, Zheng Yi valued this serpent egg even more.
