Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 202 A pile of top-grade soul bones, human-faced demon spider torso bones?
Shi Yu smiled slightly and said: "Of course, I won't take credit for what you two have done."

My heart was already filled with joy. It seemed that Daming and Erming must have quite a few soul bones in their collection. Even if it was hard to find the one that suited me, it would still be a great deal.
"This third plan is actually based on my personal desire."

"You can see that my current strength is not strong. This is because after getting a new body, I need to practice from scratch. It can only be considered as the starting stage."

"In order to improve my current combat power as quickly as possible, I'm thinking of refining some undead war beasts."

"But I don't have any suitable bones to use as materials for refining. I wonder if you have some relatively powerful soul beast bones you can give me," Shi Yu said a little embarrassedly.
"This..." Da Ming and Er Ming both felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to do this.
They were all soul beasts, so naturally they didn't want to see their fellow soul beasts' bodies being used and not allowed to rest in peace.
"If you feel embarrassed, forget it. I'll find another way," Shi Yu said sympathetically.
"We have no intention of refusing," Daming explained.
He sighed and said, "Forget it. Although doing this is a bit embarrassing for those soul beasts, they are all dead now, so they shouldn't care about it."

"We don't have many soul beast bones buried here, but they are all left behind by powerful soul beasts. Come with us to take a look."

"Okay." Shi Yu was delighted in his heart, but on the surface he remained relatively calm, showing only a hint of gratitude, appearing very composed.
He followed Daming and Erming to the heart of the forest, where there was also a lake. It was probably a replica of the Lake of Life in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.
Shi Yu looked around curiously and saw some small mounds of earth. Could they be the remains of buried soul beasts?
His guess was soon confirmed. The second one clearly took shape and dug roughly, and soon large pits appeared here.
Shi Yu's attention was drawn to one of the pits. That pit was the smallest, but the thing inside was probably the most precious.
Soul bones. He could sense the energy fluctuations of soul bones inside. There wasn't just one, but many, perhaps even reaching double digits.
He was happy in his heart, but on the surface he was very calm, as if he didn't care about these soul bones at all.
Daming wasn't surprised to see his reaction. Given Alex's status and vision, he probably wouldn't look down on these soul bones.
Soul bones are treasures to soul masters, but to Alex, they are just like ordinary bones, perhaps not as valuable to him as the bones of other soul beasts.
Shi Yu followed Daming to the edge of the pit and looked down, seeing pieces of soul bones covered by mud, their light almost obscured.
There are skulls, torso bones, arm bones, and leg bones, all kinds of them, and the number is estimated to be more than twenty.
"These are all the remains of those soul beasts after they died. Some were killed by other soul beasts, and some died under the heavenly tribulation."

"Among them, six soul beasts died under the heavenly tribulation. These six soul beasts all have soul bones left behind."

"Five of them are quasi-hundred thousand year soul bones, and one is quasi-two hundred thousand year soul bone," Daming explained.
The reason for adding the word "quasi" is because these soul beasts were unable to successfully transcend the tribulation and did not truly enter the realm of 100,000 or 200,000 years. The soul bones they left behind cannot be said to be true 100,000-year soul bones or 200,000-year soul bones.
Of course, it is not appropriate to say that the number of years is 99,999.
Because these soul beasts have reached the age of 100,000 years, they are only able to leap from fish to dragons and achieve the final qualitative change.
In this case, the soul bones left behind are considered 100,000 years old, but they are different from those real 100,000-year soul bones, so there is a word called "quasi".
"I heard that a hundred thousand year soul bone can provide two soul skills. Does this quasi-hundred thousand year soul bone also provide two soul skills?" Shi Yu asked curiously.
I have never come across a quasi-hundred thousand year soul bone, and I don't quite understand the nature of this kind of soul bone.
Of course, one thing is certain, it is definitely stronger than a ten thousand year soul bone, and its value may be infinitely close to a real hundred thousand year soul bone.
"I can't really say for sure. After all, I haven't absorbed them, nor have I had anyone absorb them."

"But according to my research, absorbing this quasi-hundred-thousand-year soul bone will most likely provide two soul skills."

"It's just that the power of these two soul skills will be relatively weak, a little weaker than the real 100,000-year soul bone skills."

"This one won't be much weaker, probably only about 10% or 20% less powerful," Daming said.
Shi Yu nodded slightly. If that were the case, the value of this soul bone was still very high.
Even without caring about the 10% or 20% of its power, it can still be regarded as a true 100,000-year soul bone.
"The other soul bones are also at least 50,000 years old. If they were placed outside, they would definitely be considered top-grade soul bones and would attract a lot of attention," Daming introduced.
Soul beasts become more intelligent after reaching 50,000 years old. The two brothers would take the death of such soul beasts very seriously and properly handle their remains, just like humans would handle the dead.
This is why the soul bones here are all at least 50,000 years old. They don't deal with soul beasts below 50,000 years old after they die, and even if there are soul bones left, they don't collect them.
They had already done their best to prohibit fighting and killing in this forest, but the nature of the spirit beasts here made it impossible to truly prohibit them.
Dozens or even hundreds of soul beasts die every day, and if they were to deal with all of them, they would be too busy to handle it.
It is worth mentioning that the internal fighting and conflict among soul beasts is a normal natural law.
Often a balance point is reached. As long as there is no external interference, this kind of fighting will actually increase the number of soul beasts, which is beneficial to the tribe.
Shi Yu's eyes swept over these soul bones one by one, sensing them carefully, expecting the existence of soul bones with space and time attributes.
He was disappointed, as there was no soul bone related to time or space.
But it wasn't without any gain, he sensed a familiar aura.
"Human-faced demon spider?" Shi Yu's mind moved, and he looked at the soul bone a few more times.
This soul bone seems to be a torso bone, and looks like a human spine.
The only difference is that the branching bones of the spine are shaped a bit strangely, looking like spider legs, with four on each side.
The soul bone was covered in dirt, but a faint purple light could still be seen.
This soul bone gave him the most special and intimate feeling, and it had a similar energy to the Eight Spider Lance soul bone on his back.
After a few careful glances, he was almost certain that this was the soul bone left behind by the Human-Faced Demonic Spider Soul Beast after its death, and it was also a relatively valuable torso soul bone.
