Chapter 124 The Grand Finale
Chapter 124 The Grand Finale
Soon, Mengling floated shakily up from the moat and rubbed against Mo Ming.
"Haha, alright, I have something important to tell you! Take a look at this..."
Mo Ming turned the screen towards Meng Ling and pointed to the animal bones on it.
Mengling, who had been calm, suddenly became extremely agitated after seeing the beast bones on the screen.
Mo Ming sensed the change in Meng Ling, and Meng Ling also told Mo Ming her thoughts.
The well-preserved animal skeleton is indeed that of a Spirit Dream Whale, and based on the photos of its skeleton, Dream Spirit can confirm that this Spirit Dream Whale did not die of natural causes.
All whales in the Reimu Whale clan possess two talents: one is the ability to devour: they can adapt to any environment and absorb any energy to nourish themselves or release it outwards.
Another example is whale fall: at the moment of death, all energy is returned to the body, transforming into all things.
However, there is a hidden condition for triggering this whale fall: the Reimu whale must voluntarily sacrifice its life or die naturally at the end of its lifespan.
At that time, all parts of his body, including his bones and spiritual power, would either serve as nourishment or generate all things in the form of energy.
Now that the skeleton of this Lingmeng whale has not only been preserved but is also so complete, it must have died due to external force.
Although the number of Reimu Whales is small, their strength is extraordinary once they reach adulthood, and there are very few ferocious beasts that can hunt them.
"Mengling, will having this skeleton improve your strength?"
Although he had his own guesses, Mo Ming wanted to get final confirmation from Meng Ling so that he could confidently raise the price.
Mengling nodded vigorously.
With this skeleton, it can absorb all the spiritual power contained within into its body, and if it is a Radiant Orange-level Spirit Dream Whale, it will also develop a unique talent.
That kind of talent has a chance of being passed down to others of the same kind.
However, based solely on the photo, Mengling couldn't determine whether the skeleton was actually of the Radiant Orange level in life; she would need to see the real thing to tell.
In the short time it took to communicate with Mengling, the price of the mysterious skeleton had already soared to 43.
How could a skeleton without any official rank be so popular?
Mo Ming couldn't believe that so many people could have a Lingmeng Whale as a pet, just like him.
Most of the bidders probably don't know the skeleton's true identity; they're probably just interested in the phrase "a small amount of spiritual energy emanating from it."
After all, at this stage, spiritual energy is clearly a synonym for a high level.
But it doesn't matter. Mo Ming still has nearly a million Ancient Spirit Coins. For the sake of Meng Ling, going all in is not out of the question.
Mo Ming immediately raised the price to 50, like a tiger roaring to quell a pack of wolves.
Mo Ming's actions were not reckless; rather, he wanted to intimidate others and demonstrate his resolve, which might persuade those who were not entirely committed to the idea of the beast bones to back down.
As expected, after Mo Ming made his bid, the frequency of subsequent bid increases slowed down significantly.
The price rose slowly, reaching 558,000.
Mo Ming made another bid: 58!
The screen went silent for a moment.
Mo Ming smiled, but just when he thought he had succeeded, the appearance of a name on the screen made his expression freeze.
Romani bids 60 Guling coins!
What's this old goat doing here?
The goat-orc is skilled in alchemy; could it be that they need him as an ingredient?
No matter what you're going to do, I'm going to fight you to the bitter end today!
Mo Ming offered 601,000.
Romani offered 62 Guling coins.
651,000.
65 million.
651,000.
......
No matter how much Romani offered, Mo Ming would always add another 1 to that price.
"Damn it! You're deliberately trying to inflate my price!"
Romani, being a favorite of the Buddha of Killing Hearts, had never been targeted like this before.
"I don't believe it. Where do you, a mere human, get such confidence?"
80!
Romani offered 800,000 upfront, attempting to snatch victory in one fell swoop; however, he underestimated Mo Ming's determination.
80 million!
Finally, under Romani's ashen face, Mo Ming grinned and "tearfully" took the mysterious skeleton into his possession.
When Romani saw Mo Ming's coordinates, he, who had been looking like he had eaten a dead rat, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, heaven is on my side! These coordinates are right near me!"
Such a huge whale skeleton, let's see how you hide it! Hahahaha…
Romani was overjoyed, his earlier gloom vanished. Not only could he get the animal bones back, but he also saved a lot of money. He couldn't be happier!
After Mo Ming paid with his stored-coin card, the Tracking Roulette and the giant skeleton of the Dream Whale appeared together on the moat.
The skeleton is over 80 meters long and a terrifying 20 meters high.
Mengling shrunk her body and flew into the giant skeleton, touching and looking around as if sensing the skeleton's information. A few minutes later, she flew back to Mo Ming's side and told him the result.
"Is it really a Radiant Orange-level?"
Mo Ming was slightly surprised, not expecting that this skeleton had possessed terrifying strength at the Radiant Orange level in its lifetime.
"How long will it take you to absorb it?"
Mo Ming was a little worried. With war about to break out with Asya, such a large skeleton would be too conspicuous if placed here.
Mengling said it could first find the inheritance, then break the skeleton apart, and drag it back into the moat to slowly absorb the spiritual power inside.
This move caught Mo Ming's eye – perfect!
Without hesitation, Mengling's entire body instantly lit up with a blue light, and the mysterious patterns hidden beneath her skin reappeared.
A short while later, a red dot of light flew out from the skeleton's head, and then, drawn by the blue light, disappeared into the top of the dream spirit's head.
Mengling once again spat out several thin streams of dark blue water from her mouth, which wrapped around the huge skeleton.
A moment later, with a loud bang, the skeleton collapsed and piled up on the ground.
Mo Ming was surprised to find that although the skeleton had collapsed, not a single bone was broken.
Mengling's move was perfect; Mo Ming gave her a thumbs up.
Then, driven by the water flow, all the bones entered the moat.
Under Mo Ming's gentle gaze, Meng Ling was as happy as a child, wobbling back into the moat.
I glanced at the bracelet; the auction for the last item had already begun.
Upon seeing the product information, Mo Ming's eyes widened in surprise.
Although he no longer had the money to participate in this final round of bidding, it didn't stop him from being amazed!
Mo Ming was absolutely certain that this item was the most valuable and awe-inspiring thing he had ever encountered.
