East Meet West

161- The Crystal Block

The sounds of fighting continued for almost a minute; the Diamond eyed demonic spider family's painful screams echoed in the cave.

‘SCREACHHHH’

‘SCREACHHH’

‘KRRNN’

‘TTRRRR’

Finally, June’s voice sounded,

“Everyone can now enter.”

Everyone then moved deeper into the nest.

As the group got nearer, the stench got intense but the surrounding spiritual qi also increased.

Finally, when the group reached the core area of the nest, everyone saw a couple of Diamond eyed demonic spider corpses littered on the ground.

The sizes of each Diamond eyed demonic spider varied from the size of a basketball to the size of a 5-6 years old child.

The smaller ones should be the offsprings of the Diamond eyed demonic spider couple. While the corpse with the size equal to that of a 5-6 years old child, should belong to the Diamond eyed demonic spider couple.

The female Diamond eyed demonic spider that is at the peak of the Demi-Monster stage, is one third size smaller than the male Diamond eyed demonic spider that has stepped into the Monster stage of the Transformation realm.

June’s style of handling monsters is pretty rough.

That’s what Orochi thought internally.

June used the sword to kill these spiders so, most of the Diamond eyed demonic spiders are either cut into two pieces or more.

Only the body of a male Diamond eyed demonic spider that has reached the Monster stage, is somewhat intact.

The parts of Diamond eyed demonic spider are very precious. Such as its eyes which are diamonds, its venom, its limbs.

The Diamond eyed demonic spider is named in such a way because of its special characteristics- that is its diamond eyes. Its eyes are the most precious part when compared to others and have crazy demand in the market. The eyes of the Diamond eyed demonic spider can be used in making weapons or artifacts, they are also an important ingredient in refining pills that are useful for recovering or increasing mental strength, etc.

But the most important characteristic is that the Diamond eyed Demonic spider has the ability to hypnotize its opponents. And it is possible due to its eyes. So, its’s eyes are best used in the illusion arrays.

The eyes of the Diamond eyed Demonic spider at the Mortal realm has crazy demand in the market while if the eyes belonging to that of a Transformation realm Diamon eyed Demonic spider, then even the Royalty realm powerhouse will not hesitate to commit robbery, as for the eyes belonging to that of a Royalty realm Diamon eyed Demonic spider?

Hehe... Kingdoms and Empires will not even hesitate to launch a crazy war.

That’s how precious the eyes of the Diamond eyed demonic spider are.

So, looking at so many corpses of Diamond eyed demonic spiders, Orochi can hardly suppress his greed.

“Aunt June, what do you want to do with these corpses?”

As if June knew Orochi’s intentions, she coldly answered,

“I am taking all the eyes and the corpse of both parent spiders; as for the rest, I don’t care.”

Hearing this, Orochi can only sigh and reluctantly let go of the idea to acquire the eyes of the Diamond eyed demonic spider.

“Senior over there...”

Jashan shouted from the side and pointed in a direction.

Everyone looked in the direction Jashan was pointing at,

At a distance of 10 meters, a huge block of crystal was embedded in the wall and inside the crystal, a human skeleton was sitting cross legged.

The block of crystal was of at least 3-4 meters in radius.

Everyone walked towards the crystal block.

But as they got closer to the crystal block, a kind of pressure started acting on everyone.

The group hasn’t even got closer to the crystal block, Jashan’s breathing got heavier and his face was flushed red.

And the second person whose condition was only slightly better than Jashan but worse than others was none other than Orochi.

Yes, Orochi’s condition was not so good.

Orochi asked,

“Aunt June, from the pressure radiated by the skeleton inside the crystal block, I think the person when he/she was alive must be very strong. And if I am not wrong, then it must be Stonger than then mother-in-law, right?”

June did not answer and just when Orochi was about to ask again, June opened her mouth.

“The skeleton belongs to a female and the person inside the crystal block was a human when she was alive. And yes, she was a lot stronger than Sheela but a lot weaker than Sheela’s mother. As for the cultivation level...”

June frowned for a few moments and then said,

“The original owner of this body had at least reached the General stage. And it must have been at the peak of the General stage, only one step away from stepping into the Commander stage.”

Hearing this everyone was stunned.

The Royalty realm is divided into many stages, such as:

- Soldier stage

- Warrior stage

- General stage

- Commander stage

- Lord stage

- Baron stage

- Viscount stage

- Earl stage

- Marquis stage

- Duke stage

- Grand Duke stage

- Prince stage

- Dominator stage

- King stage

.

And in this list, being at the General stage might seem weak but one has to know that if a person has the cultivation of General stage, then he or she can be a big figure in the kingdom.

Orochi’s grandfather, the clan head of the Leon clan has reached the Commander stage and one must know that people with Commander stage cultivation will not exceed 3 in the Saurastra Kingdom. Well, at least on the bright side.

Who knows how many people with Commander stage or higher cultivation are hidden and act behind the scenes?

So, for a Kingdom, humans who have reached the General stage are the real backbone of the Kingdom and even in the Empires, they are treated with the utmost respect.

And from June’s words, Orochi came to a conclusion, Sheela’s cultivation must be less than or might have stepped into the General stage. And Betha’s cultivation might have reached the Warrior stage. As Orochi always had the itch to know the level of Sheela and Bertha.

And the owner of the skeleton in the crystal block, even in the heyday was weaker than Orochi’s grandfather. So, Orochi’s shock was not big.

============================

(A small recap, in this world Empire is bigger than a Kingdom, and a kingdom is bigger than a country.

So,

Empire > Kingdom > Country > State > County > City > Town> Village.

I will be mentioning these things after few chapters regularly to avoid confusion.)
