In a perfect world, you start by relying on your own strength.

Everything fell into place naturally.

The earth-shattering battle between the three ancient species had already wiped out all living things in the vicinity.

Those ferocious beasts and humans who secretly coveted the remains of the Suanni either fled in panic or were directly crushed by the violent aftershocks. At this moment, only the two of them and the eagle remained in this area.

There was no fighting, no ambushes, no mantis stalking the cicada unaware of the oriole behind.

What Shi Geng was waiting for was such a perfect opportunity—clean, untouched, and with no one to share the profits.

The Azure-Scaled Eagle landed steadily beside the golden body of the Suanni. The enormous golden body lay quietly in the pool of blood, its divine radiance still faintly flowing, its precious bones concealed, and its runes hidden.

The little one's eyes widened in amazement:

"Shi Gen, this is... the complete remains of the Suanni?"

Shi Geng stepped forward slowly, his fingertips lightly touching the cold, hard golden fur, and said calmly, "Indeed, this Suanni's remains are now ours."

As he spoke, he bent down and picked up the severed arm of the demon ape beside him, and then walked a short distance away and picked up the severed horn of the Fire Demon Bull.

Although these two items are damaged, they both contain the pure blood essence of two ancient species. Combined with the intact golden body of the Suanni in front of him, they are enough for him and Little One to complete the baptism.

During this period of waiting and observing, he not only stumbled upon an incredible stroke of luck, but also obtained the true blood of three ancient remnants, making a fortune.

The little one watched with shining eyes and quickly gathered up the scattered remains of the ferocious beasts, carrying them all onto the back of the Azure Scaled Eagle.

Although these ferocious beasts are not as powerful as the ancient species, they are still treasures from head to toe, and not a single bit should be wasted.

After getting ready, the two men and the eagle didn't linger and sped straight towards Stone Village.

Returning home with a full load, the journey was smooth.

With the speed of the Azure Scaled Eagle, the two people and the eagle were able to see the outline of Stone Village in the distance in no time.

At the village entrance, clan chief Shi Yunfeng had already led all the villagers, young and old, to wait there. They all looked up nervously at the sky outside the village, their expressions anxious.

They had been worried for a long time, but when they saw the familiar blue eagle shadow breaking through the air, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed.

Suddenly, a streak of cold light tore through the sky!

A massive iron arrow pierced the air with terrifying speed, aiming straight for the Azure Scaled Eagle's head, determined to pierce its brain with a single shot!

Startled, the blue-scaled eagle flapped its wings violently and narrowly veered off course.

"clang--!"

The iron arrow grazed the eagle's feathers and embedded itself hard in the nearby rocks, its fletching vibrating violently and buzzing, sending stone chips flying everywhere.

Shi Geng's eyes instantly turned cold. He looked up in the direction the arrow had come from and asked in an icy voice, "Who did this?"

What greeted them was a barrage of arrows!

A dense barrage of iron arrows hurtled in, weaving a deadly net in the air.

The Azure-Scaled Eagle screeched sharply, flapped its wings, and soared into the sky, narrowly dodging the barrage of arrows.

Shi Geng caught the little one who was about to lose his balance, his eyes cold as knives, looking in the direction from which the rain of arrows was coming.

Someone dared to ambush them, a group returning laden with spoils, near Stone Village. Someone had their eyes on the Suanni corpse, the severed arm of the Demon Ape, and the broken horn of the Fire Demon Bull on their backs!

"From Bei Village? How dare they ambush us near Shi Village!"

Shi Geng's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his aura instantly turned icy.

"Little one, you go back to the village with Aunt Green-scaled Eagle first, I'm going down to kill them."

Shi Geng never expected that, even though he had let the people of Bei Village off the hook last time, these people not only did not know how to restrain themselves, but instead went too far and dared to ambush him near Shi Village!

It seems I was a bit too lenient before.

Before the little one could stop him, he leaped off the back of the Azure Scaled Eagle, spread his arms, and soared through the air like an eagle, carrying a chilling killing intent as he sped toward the direction from which the rain of arrows was coming from!

"Hmph, daring to come down here on their own, they're asking for death."

In the forest, the hunting chief of the wolf village sneered coldly and waved his large hand sharply.

In an instant, another wave of arrows, as dense as locusts, shot straight toward Shi Gen with a whistling wind!

Facing the whistling rain of arrows, Shi Geng remained indifferent. A faint divine light quietly emanated from his body, and a bright moon silently rose behind him, with the phantom of a palace in the moon, a divine tree rooted in it, and an ancient demonic bird perched quietly, its oppressive aura overwhelming him.

The iron arrows that were shot at lightning speed had barely gotten within a few feet of him when they seemed to hit an invisible wall, shattering and breaking apart with a clang, falling densely to the ground.

The wolf village's hunting chief's pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed in shock, "This is the Azure Scaled Eagle's treasure technique?!"

He had seen the Azure Scaled Eagle use its magical techniques before, but he had never witnessed such a bizarre and terrifying phenomenon. His heart clenched with fear in an instant.

But now, with no way to retreat, he gritted his teeth and roared, "Throw the iron spears! No matter how strong he is, he's just a child. Kill him! The precious bones of the Suanni will be ours!"

Before he finished speaking, dozens of iron spears, stained with a fierce aura, simultaneously pierced through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and rained down on Shi Geng!

Shi Gen stood motionless, the illusory moon behind him shining even brighter, and the ancient demonic bird slowly opened its eyes.

The next instant, an invisible wind pressure exploded.

All the iron spears stopped abruptly half a foot away from him, then shattered on the ground with a series of clean breaks, as if struck by ancient divine power.

The villagers of Bei Village turned pale, terrified out of their wits.

Shi Geng's eyes were icy cold. He took a step forward, his voice indifferent yet carrying an undeniable killing intent: "So greedy that you dare to touch the people of my Shi Village... you will all die."

"Wait, this is all a misunderstanding..."

Before the hunting chief of Bei Village could finish speaking, Shi Gen had already transformed into a blur and rushed to the front in an instant.

Shi Geng raised his hand and grabbed a thick, large tree next to him, uprooting it completely and swinging the trunk horizontally.

"Bang—!"

The wind howled, and wood chips flew everywhere. The hunters from the front row of the wolf village were swept away before they could even scream, and the sound of bones cracking filled the air.

"I spared your lives last time to give you a chance to repent."

Shi Geng's voice was icy cold as he took a step forward. With each step, the ground trembled slightly, and an invisible pressure, like a mountain, made the people of Bei Village unable to breathe.

"Since you insist on courting death... then none of you will leave here today."

The wolf village's hunting leader was deathly pale, his legs trembling uncontrollably. But seeing the golden, gleaming corpse of the Suanni atop the Azure-Scaled Eagle not far away, he was still blinded by greed, roaring, "What are you afraid of! He's just one person! Attack him together, kill him!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the phantom of the ancient demonic bird in the bright moon behind Shi Geng suddenly flapped its wings.

An extremely terrifying and ferocious aura suddenly exploded out!

The hunters from the wolf village didn't even have a chance to get close. Instantly, they were overwhelmed by the pressure and their knees buckled. They fell to their knees with a thud, their bones cracking, and they didn't even have the strength to lift their hands.

Shi Geng's eyes were indifferent, as if he were looking at a group of ants.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it."

The next moment, he flicked his finger, and a condensed, bright moon shot out from the sky, aiming straight for the hunting leader's brow.

The hunting leader didn't even have time to scream before he collapsed and died on the spot.

The rest of the villagers were terrified and tried desperately to escape, but they were unable to move under his terrifying aura and could only watch helplessly as Shi Geng approached step by step.
