Chapter 580: Reinforcements Arrival (1/2)

Sometime later, Leon collected few frozen Three-Legged Golden Crows into his Worldspace.

After nodding to Bluewinter in the distance, he returned to the Western Frontier's side and found himself a large open field next to the temporary military camp.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow's frozen bodies were quickly brought out before Leon defrosted the ice and extracted remnant traces of Wrathful Demonic Energies in the bodies.

”You don't have to watch if it's too boring,” Leon said while getting his hands dirty from plucking the feathers earnestly.

”Not boring at all,” Aria quickly shook her head. She found Leon very attractive when he is working earnestly—she could watch him for days.

However, she did not plan on being idle.

Aria quickly tied her hair and rolled up the sleeves and hems of her light blue dress before she said, ”Let me help.”

”You don't have…” Seeing Aria's determined look, Leon quickly shook his head and smiled, ”Alright.”

With two people working on the job, the first Three-Legged Golden Crow was quickly de-feathered despite its large size.

”I think one body is enough for now,” Leon muttered while looking at the big featherless bird.

”Mm,” Aria nodded in agreement.

After wiping some golden bloodstains off her face, Aria added, ”One body has is more than enough meat to feed the whole army.”

”Maybe not just a whole army, but a whole city,” Leon added with a smile before his gaze fell on Aria's bloodstained dress.

Compared to Aria, Leon was still clean, considering the bloodstains have only gotten on his hands.

After shaking his head, Leon suggested with a slight chuckle, ”Why don't you go wash and leave the rest to me?”

”Hmm…” Aria paused for a moment to inspect herself before she nodded, ”Alright.”

Aria threw an ambiguous look over her shoulders before she left, but Leon could only smile wryly. There was much work to do.

He can only enjoy himself later.

Shortly after, Leon was left alone on the field with the de-feathered Three-Legged Golden Crow.

”After this, I will need to de-feather a few more for the Blue Luan Tribes as well. But I wonder if they will like it raw or cooked…” Leon began pondering before shifting his gaze onto the mountain of plucked feathers.

”These feathers are suitable materials for making projectile weapons and equipment with runic enchantments… the meat are highly nutritious and beneficial for Body Cultivators without a doubt…”

The bones of the Three-Legged Golden Crows were even better materials for weapon and armor crafting.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow's body was undoubtedly a heavenly treasure trove filled with valuable parts that humans could use.

”As for the blood…” Leon shifted his attention to the golden blood, ”The golden blood has already lost its potency… no one will be able to obtain the Golden Crow's bloodline from absorbing these golden blood.”

”However, it will be a waste to just throw them away like this…” Leon mulled for a moment before his eyes flickered, ”Seems like they can be used to commence by blood refining phase…”

There were not many options for him to choose from, but he had become strangely interested in the Everlasting Blood Mantra.

With the Black Vortex and Nihility Law on his side, he was no longer concerned with any side effects the technique may have that could affect his mental state.

”I haven't planned on it, but perhaps, Blood Cultivation might be the most suitable energy cultivation path right now…” Leon pondered thoughtfully.

Given the chaos that the Cataclysm brought to the world, the Wildlands would be thriving with berserk beasts and bloody battles.

The ideal location to cultivation Blood Cultivation had always been the battlefields, and there could not be a bigger stage for this than the Wildlands.

”Unlike other primordial body cultivation techniques, the Everlasting Blood Mantra requires refining many different types of blood aside from True Grandmist Energy to cultivate…Hm.”

As Leon pondered, the General Marquis shortly arrived beside him and reported, ”Your Highness, the soldiers have been gathered.”

”Alright. Let us head over.” Leon nodded.

His dirty hands were cleansed shortly by the power of nothingness in an instant, transformed into energy that was absorbed by him.

…

A few dozen miles away from the Western Frontier, a large company of military vehicles could be heard traveling along on the main road.
