Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primordial God and Demon Avatar

"The hardness of this thing is probably comparable to that of a King-level weapon."

Beside the massive corpse of the Flaming Sword Tiger, Chen Shi tapped a bone spike with his broadsword, a look of horror on his face.

As a military expert, he had handled many materials from powerful monsters, but this was the first time he had seen something so hard and sharp.

"These bone spurs must also be the Flaming Sword Tiger's trump card for survival, and losing them would be extremely harmful to it, otherwise it wouldn't have waited until it was almost dead to release them."

The group surrounded the Flaming Sword Tiger, marveling at its power. Their expressions as they looked at Xu Qiankun were even more awestruck; his strength might have already reached the peak of the God of War realm.

"Let's get the Flaming Sword Tiger and these three Black-Scaled Wolves out of here first, and then we'll clear out the other monsters in the city."

Chen Yan looked at Xu Qiankun, seeking his opinion.

"it is good"

Xu Qiankun nodded and took the lead in carrying the corpse of the Flaming Sword Tiger. Qu Ying picked up the shield pierced by bone spikes and then walked towards the corpse of the Black Scaled Wolf that she had killed.

Of the remaining two low-level lord monsters, one was completely dead, while the other was paralyzed due to its spine being severed, but was still alive.

Living Lord-level monsters are extremely valuable research material, and their value is no less than that of the corpses of Intermediate Lord-level monsters.

The five members of the Rock Team returned to their temporary defensive position with four giant monsters.

"This is..."

When they saw the monster, which was fiery red all over and still exuded a terrifying sense of oppression even in death, all the soldiers and warriors who remained at the defense base were shocked.

"Wasn't it supposed to be just dealing with four Black-Scaled Wolves? How did a Flaming Sword Tiger suddenly appear?"

Everyone was a little confused.

However, joy followed. This Flaming Sword Tiger was clearly much stronger than the Black Scale Wolf and was extremely rare, so it would definitely be more valuable. They would get a larger share by helping with the transportation.

"Advance the defensive positions by fifteen kilometers."

Chen Yan gave the order to the company commander of the elite company, and the defense base was quickly taken down. The corpses of the three lord-level monsters were put on the transport vehicle, while the remaining black-scaled wolf that was still alive was locked in a specially made large cage.

The troops then moved to the outskirts of the city and rearranged their defensive positions.

The next task was simple: led by the five War God-level warriors of the Rock Team, the military and the warriors of the four War General-level teams began to clear the monsters from the city.

It took two days to clear all the monsters from the entire city.

More than 280 beast general-level monsters and nearly 3,500 beast soldiers were killed.

Many more monsters escaped.

Unfortunately, we don't have enough manpower to form an effective encirclement.

"Quickly cut off the valuable materials from the beast soldiers, and transport all the corpses of the beast general-level monsters back as well."

The soldiers and warriors were busy collecting the spoils of war; the transport vehicles in the convoy were already fully loaded.

The five members of the Rock Team closed their eyes to rest. They had been chasing monsters for two consecutive days. Although there hadn't been any intense battles, they were still quite exhausted.

Shortly after 1 a.m. on August 29, the Rock Team returned to the Fortress Base with their squad.

"It really is a King-grade material?"

When the test results came out, all five members of the Rock team were overjoyed.

A military expert specializing in materials science said with a smile, "The bone spikes on the back of this Flaming Sword Tiger are extremely hard, barely reaching the standard of SS-grade materials. If other materials are added to make an alloy, it is very likely to reach SSS-grade. Moreover, these bone spikes are extremely sharp and can be used as weapons."

"And its spine, like these seven bone spurs, is of the same strength, also made of SS-grade material."

"In addition, there are teeth, claws, etc., all of which have reached the S-level."

"But the most valuable part of this Flaming Sword Tiger isn't any of these things; it's its blood."

"We just tested it, and its blood contains extremely active molecules that are of great benefit to ordinary people's cultivation. Perhaps only about 800 grams are needed to train an advanced apprentice into a martial artist."

Xu Qiankun and his group of five quickly understood why the HR Alliance wanted to conceal the true information about the Flaming Sword Tiger. The bone spurs and spine, which were comparable to materials from a King-level monster, were secondary; the main thing was its blood.

With the blood of the Fiery Sword Tiger, they can cultivate more martial artists.

In this era where strength reigns supreme, the number of martial artists is also one of the standards for measuring the strength of a force.

Moreover, the more martial artists there are, the greater the probability of a genius emerging.

"The price of this Flaming Sword Tiger could probably reach over 30 billion."

"Leaving the fortress base," Nong Man said excitedly.

"Three hundred billion?"

Xu Qiankun was quite surprised.

领主级怪兽的价值有高有低，初级领主怪兽大概在5亿到30亿，中级领主怪兽的尸体大概是15亿到90亿，高级领主则在50亿到200亿。

200 billion is already an extremely high price.

At 300 billion, it's not much less than some King-level monsters.

"That's because you don't know how important the blood of the Flaming Sword Tiger is to the country," Nong Man said with a smile. "If this stuff were for ordinary soldiers, of course it wouldn't be worth this much money, but what if it were for scientists in laboratories?"

"For scientists?"

Xu Qiankun was taken aback at first, but quickly recovered.

Indeed, even if hundreds or thousands of martial artists were trained by giving the blood of the Flaming Sword Tiger to ordinary people, the effect would not be significant.

But it's a completely different story when it's used by researchers.

Martial artists have much stronger energy and faster thinking speed than ordinary people. If all the scientists in the laboratory could become martial artists, they might be able to discover something extraordinary.

"Therefore, this kind of thing that can mass-produce martial artists is an extremely important strategic resource for the country. Do you think it's worth 50 billion?"

"I see"

The vehicle returned to the city, and Xu Qiankun quietly returned to Villa No. 508 in Langhuan Community. He took a shower first, and then circulated the Qiankun Divine Demon Creation Guiding Technique to cultivate his genetic energy.

It was three hours later when he finished his cultivation, and by then the sky was already bright.

Dong dong dong

There was a knock on the door, and Xu Yixin's clear voice came from outside, "Brother, is that you back?"

Xu Qiankun used his mental power to open the door. "I came back too late last night and cultivated all night. I'm a little sleepy. I'll go to sleep first."

As he spoke, Xu Qiankun shrank into the blankets.

"Brother, I made breakfast. Eat some first, then go to sleep," Xu Yixin ran over and pulled him.

After reluctantly accompanying his younger sister through breakfast, Xu Qiankun returned to his bedroom to catch up on sleep, while Xu Yixin happily went to school.

He hadn't been asleep for long when his smartwatch rang. Regaining his senses, Xu Qiankun glanced at it and saw that it was Qu Ying calling.

"Hey beautiful, what's wrong?"

Xu Qiankun asked lazily. After getting to know the other person better, he spoke much more casually, and they would occasionally tease each other.

"Hurry up and get to the fifth floor of the Arena!"

Qu Ying's anxious voice came through.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qiankun asked solemnly.

"Something terrible has happened. Come over here first."

"it is good"

Xu Qiankun quickly got up, changed into casual clothes, carried the six SSS-level throwing knives with him, and strode towards the Arena of War.

On the fifth floor of the Arena, Xu Qiankun saw Qu Ying waiting at the door as soon as he stepped out of the elevator. He quickly walked over and asked, "What happened?"

Qu Ying lowered her voice and said, "This morning, Sister Man told me that the captain and Chen Shi decided to sign up to break into Ruins No. 9, and she asked us to help persuade them."

"What? The Ruins of Number 9 are about to open?"

Xu Qiankun was immediately drawn to the first half of her sentence.

"Did you hear that? Help me persuade them later."

Seeing him widen his eyes and grin as if he had found money, Qu Ying quickly reminded him.

"it is good"

Xu Qiankun agreed without even hearing what she said; in reality, his mind was already focused on Ruins No. 9.

There are many things there that are excellent for him right now.

"I just don't know if my brain span exceeds 18. I remember that only those with a brain span exceeding 18 can enter the elite trial."

Recalling the information about Site No. 9 from the original work, Xu Qiankun and Qu Ying entered a private room together.
