Chapter 24 Erming's Burial Ground, Jerry's Paradise
After listening to Jerry's explanation, Erming understood. So these bones were useful after all. He happily said to Jerry, "Jerry, I've eaten quite a few soul beasts over the past tens of thousands of years, and I've left their bones in a small valley nearby. Most of them are hundreds or thousands of years old, and some are even tens of thousands of years old! I'll take you to see them."
"Really? Let's go now!" Jerry exclaimed excitedly!
Then Erming quickly led Jerry and Xiaowu to its burial place. Jerry saw a valley filled with white bones. Due to the passage of time, some bones were already half-buried in the soil. The bones exposed on the ground emitted a faint glow, because the bones in this world, nourished by soul power, decayed more slowly! Jerry also found a soul beast that still smelled of decay. It must have been abandoned by Erming not long ago. There was still some rotten flesh and parts that Erming didn't eat. At this time, the flesh had already begun to rot.
Many of the soul beast skeletons were still entwined with various plants, and there were also many plants on the ground. These plants were probably seeds that had been blown by the wind and had taken root, sprouted, and grown here. Jerry discovered that many of the plants were already hundreds of years old, and many were even thousands of years old. Even more exaggerated was a ghost vine that was already ten thousand years old. Its branches were very long and coiled around a skeleton that was three or four stories high. If you looked at it from a distance, you would think it was a soul beast!
Plant-type spirit beasts can attack, but sensing Erming's aura, they dared not move, mistaking them for ordinary plants! If an ordinary spirit master went in, they probably wouldn't be able to come out!
Among the skeletons, Jerry also found several human skeletons. After asking Erming, he learned that some of them were abandoned by Erming. They had entered the core area to hunt for spirit rings and were killed after encountering Erming. Erming didn't eat people, so he left them there. Others were probably people who had wandered into this valley on their own. Seeing so many skeletons, they thought there was treasure here and broke in, only to be killed by the numerous plant-type spirit beasts!
This benefited Jerry. Erming and the plant-type spirit beasts here didn't need the spirit masters' belongings, so they were just left there. The spirit masters who could get this far were all high-level! Jerry quickly found several treasures; these treasures wouldn't rot and were easily visible. Jerry found a storage bracelet, two storage rings, and a large sword, but it was already rusted, probably having been on the ground for a very long time and was now useless! Jerry also saw some things scattered around the waists of several skeletons; it seemed the contents of their storage bags had burst out after rotting. The ironware was rusted, but there were also some clothes that hadn't completely rotted away!
Jerry eagerly checked the contents of his storage ring and bracelet. The clothes in the storage ring were rotten and turned to powder at the slightest touch. There were also many gold and silver soul coins, which made Jerry a small fortune, as these wouldn't rot even if left unattended! Some of the ironware was rusted and unusable!
The best part was finding several books made of leather, I don't know what kind of spirit beast leather they were made of, but they haven't rotted yet!
It seems the storage equipment in this world is different from what I saw in Jerry's novels. Putting things in just puts them into another space, and since space isn't static, items will still rot! At this moment, I'm a little envious of the Qiankun Rings in cultivation novels. No matter when you take things out, they're always in good condition. If you put some food in, it'll still be hot when you take it out!
The two rings each had a space of about 10 cubic meters and 50 cubic meters respectively, and the bracelet had about 20 cubic meters. Jerry didn't have the habit of wearing bracelets, so he gave the 10-cubic-meter ring and the 20-cubic-meter bracelet to Xiao Wu, and kept the 50-cubic-meter ring for himself! Xiao Wu had always coveted space equipment, and now that she had two pieces at once, she was overjoyed. She held them in her hands, looking at them from left to right, taking them out again after putting something away, as happy as a fool!
Of course, he didn't forget the main business. After collecting some bones that were thousands or tens of thousands of years old, Jerry prepared to go back and conduct experiments!
