I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Furthermore, given that the Bone Monsters have long been extinct, White Continent is more inclined to believe that the Bone Monster before them is a monster researched by the Empire. If so, it is normal for their genes to be different, and their weaknesses may have changed.

No one stopped fighting just because they couldn't find the Bone Monster's weakness.

Zhang Min unleashed explosive damage from the rear, while Jin Dazhu had already recovered. Despite his massive size and lack of agility, he diligently served as a competent meat shield in the front.

The appearance of the Bone Monster forced everyone to abandon their exploration and turn their attention to dealing with it.

Jiang He's spirit sword slashed at the bone monster's joints, but this time the expected joint breakage did not occur; instead, Jiang He's sword broke first.

"??? These bones are quite hard."

Jiang He awkwardly sheathed her sword and then took out a spirit sword from her mustard seed pouch.

Like ordinary weapons, magical artifacts also have a wear and tear rate. Unfortunately, Jiang He's magical sword finally broke down after she went through countless demons with it.

Fortunately, this was a training sword, so it wouldn't hurt if it broke. Jiang He took out a second one and continued using it.

After the bone monster is broken up, it will burrow into the ground and reassemble itself, so Jiang He has to break up the bone monster's skeleton again and again.

It takes time for the bone monster to reassemble underground. To prevent the bone monster from suddenly emerging from the soil beneath their feet, Jiang He and Jin Dazhu used earth spirit energy to change the density of the soil beneath their feet, making the soil harder.

This can effectively prevent it.

"The longer the bone monster is broken up, the faster it will reassemble."

Jiang He, panting heavily, held the sword, sweat dripping down her cheeks. She reasonably suspected that if they destroyed the Bone Monster's body a certain number of times, the Bone Monster would be killed.

"It seems so. And this soil is really strange. Does it need nutrients? I always feel that the soil isn't as fresh every time I turn it over."

Why bother with such a rigid analysis?

If they had more powerful cultivators on their side, such as an ice spirit root cultivator, they could have frozen the soil within a ten-mile radius, extending several meters underground, and seen if these bone monsters could still burrow into the soil.

However, this is just wishful thinking. After all, if there were such a powerful cultivator, wouldn't he be able to deal with these bone monsters in no time?

After a while, Jiang He noticed that the bone monster's regeneration speed was getting slower and slower, proving that Jiang He's guess was correct.

The bone monsters mainly reassemble their bones into human form. In addition to maintaining a humanoid appearance, their fingers or toes are kept sharp so that they can suck blood when they get close to cultivators.

Jiang He stared at the fluorescent white crystal core for a long time. The bone monsters were mostly C-rank, and their attacks were a bit weak, but their seemingly infinite recombination buff made them like a perpetual motion machine, constantly draining the stamina of Jiang He and his group.

The glistening crystal core hung on the bone monster's head.

The bone monster was impossible to kill, so Jiang He just glanced at it a few more times. After a while, she stopped attacking the bone monster and let it approach her. She squinted her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

The bone monster that approached Jiang He was quite powerful; its humanoid skeleton was covered with countless sharp spikes. As long as it pierced Jiang He's body, it would gain blood full of spiritual energy.

As if it were sentient, the bone monster steadily approached Jiang He. Just as it was about to pounce on Jiang He, Jiang He swiftly raised her sword and severed the bone monster's head. The head rolled to the ground, and the lower half of the skeleton, separated from the head, scattered all over the ground.

While hurriedly and carefully picking up the bones from the lower half of the Bone Monster and throwing them into her mustard seed bag, Jiang He rushed towards its head. She forcefully restrained the Bone Monster's head, preventing it from sinking into the ground.

Jiang He's next move was quite bold; she used her spiritual energy to envelop the bone monster's crystal core and then forcibly began absorbing the energy within it.

The crystal core belonged to the bone monster. Sensing its energy loss, the skull containing the crystal core rapidly burrowed downwards, its sharp spikes piercing the soil. This time, however, it didn't dig as fast.

Jiang He cast an earth-based spell on the soil, making it firm. The bone monster's descent slowed down until Jiang He absorbed a significant amount of the spiritual energy contained within the crystal core, at which point the skeleton, along with the crystal core, burrowed underground.

Why did his sword-wielding hand freeze? He stood there, watching, and then he was completely mesmerized.

Jiang He's actions were absurd yet subtly reasonable.

He swallowed hard and looked at the bone monster in front of him:

"Is this okay?"

Crystal nuclei are rare; even a C-grade crystal nucleus is quite valuable.

According to conventional practice, cultivators usually obtain crystal cores by first finding a monster with a crystal core, then killing it. Only then is the crystal core considered to have been removed from the monster. Whether it is used to improve cultivation or sold for star coins and spirit stones is another matter.

This was the first time he had ever seen a scene like Jiang He absorbing the crystal cores of monsters while fighting.

Usually, you kill the monster first.

Many netizens were waiting in the B52 team. Jiang He and Li Ling were among the first cultivators to start fighting the bone monster. Watching such exciting and tense monster-fighting scenes was their favorite thing.

But when they saw Jiang He's actions against the bone monster, they were as stunned as He Bi, as if the thread in their minds had suddenly been stuck, or had a spasm, and they couldn't wrap their heads around it no matter what.

[This almost caused my CPU to overheat. I just want to ask, after fighting for so long, I thought it would take another half a day, how come it started absorbing crystal cores? Are crystal cores that easy to absorb?]

Something's definitely not right about this. Monsters are usually killed first and then their crystal cores are taken; directly absorbing them makes no sense at all.

I don't know why, but I inexplicably thought of demon cultivators. The scenes in movies and novels where demon cultivators suck human essence are exactly the same as this. I guarantee that the plagiarism rate is as high as 99%!

Uh, so that means they were demons?

Upstairs, don't take it too seriously. Everyone says the Bone Monster has no weaknesses, but I actually think that's its weakness. Other monsters at least have shells to protect their crystal cores, but the Bone Monster just openly exposes its crystal core. Who wouldn't be tempted?

Haha, that's right. In broad daylight, this bone monster is being so blatant. Its crystal core is just there for cultivators to absorb, what's with the innocent act? Look at its naked appearance, isn't it just trying to seduce cultivators?

Uh, that's definitely really "explicit".

Such a strong sense of irony.

Although it's a bit unconventional, as long as it works, that's fine. I saw that the bone monster didn't even continue attacking after encountering this and just ran away.

After Jiang He started this process.

Despite still carrying old ways of thinking, He Bi, who had spent a lot of time with Jiang He, still had Jiang He's old ways of thinking.

But when faced with the bone monster again, he did not hesitate and went straight to the process of absorbing the crystal core.

The bone monster's weakness is unknown, but the crystal core is definitely there.

Jiang He's unconventional approach inspired her teammates to follow suit.

It wasn't until they finished making it that we realized just how delicious it was!

"Wow, I'm so excited! This is the first time I've ever felt so energetic fighting monsters," He Bi murmured.

"It's really exciting! I'm absorbing crystal cores while fighting, and I feel like my cultivation level has increased quite a bit," Zhang Min said with a smile.

Crystal cores are rare, and people usually save them for when they're about to break through, so this is quite a luxury.

Why not just chase after the bone monster and attack it instead of hiding?

After he finished hitting, he kept muttering to himself:

"Thank you for the gift from the Education Bureau!"
