--- Chapter 245 ---
"Six-Winged Angel's Essence Sphere, huh?" Yu Long stared at the red and purple sphere with seven stripes on his palm. Tempest and Camilla stared dumbly at the Demonic Core, their mouths dripping with saliva.
He chuckled at their reaction, "This one wasn't suitable for either of you."
"Six-Winged Angel is a monster who uses Holy Flame, a further mix of fire and lightning elements."
"Tempest, your storm control would clash with the Holy Flame."
"As for Camilla, you need a Draconic-type Core more than anything. Your C-Rex's origin would reject Six-Winged Angel's Core."
Tempest and Camilla were depressed by his words. They had never seen the seven-striped Demonic Core before, and it was more painful knowing they couldn't use it.
Yu Long shook his head gently and prepared something else for the bird and dinosaurs instead, grabbing two blue-gold pills from his Sky Poison Pearl.
"Eat this."
"I make it from the Golden-Blue Lotus we got in the Golden Lake earlier, and it should be able to promote your bloodline and body by a stage."
Tempest and Camilla's eyes lit up.
They are eyeing the blue-gold pills with a hungry look.
Yu Long wasn't stingy, so he threw the pills at them.
Camilla swallowed it immediately, causing her body to shake and grow bigger under their watches. Her sword-like tail became jet-black and serrated on some parts.
Even then, Camilla's arms are still tiny. They are growing big, yes.
But Yu Long believed her bloodline was lacking somehow.
Meanwhile, Tempest hugged the blue-gold pill before eating it. It was the best gift for her current self.
After consuming the pill, Tempest's body didn't change much. Still, her beak and claws are sharper, and her feathers become luscious with an emerald gleam.
There is a certain sharpness in her wind now.
Overall, Tempest and Camilla have undergone an upgrade.
"Hmm?" Yu Long turned around and spotted a group of mutated beasts staring at them. Some of them even had fishing rods in their hands or claws.
Rawr!
Camilla walked forward, waving her sword-like tail threateningly.
She seemingly asks what they want, and the bear with a tree fishing rod points at Yu Long with admiration in its eyes.
Rawr?
Camilla tilted her head in confusion.
Mhm! Mhm!
The bear and other mutated beasts nodded in return.
Yu Long understood their conversations, and his mouth twitched because these mutated beasts actually wanted him as their boss, hoping he would give them some scraps from his fishing.
Yu Long narrowed his eyes at the Heavenly King of Gold. This golden toad is definitely up to something.
Looking for the Little Demon Empress was an excuse.
Yu Long knew about the Heavenly King of Gold from Burning Venom's last memory, and the white snake believed the golden toad was one of the most cunning Heavenly Kings.
"What treasure do you want to trade the dew with?" Yu Long asked while leaning on a tree.
"With this!" The Heavenly King of Gold showed Yu Long a four-striped Demonic Core with a pure purple color.
"Wow, four-striped..." Tempest said sarcastically.
"God Master doesn't need such a lousy Demonic Core."
"Why don't you give him your Golden Behemoth's Claw?"
"Tempest, Golden Behemoth's Claw isn't easy to make!" The Heavenly King of Gold lashed out. "I need five years to make one, you know?"
"Also, what do you mean by lousy Demonic Core? Four-stripped Demonic Core hardly appears, and only Greed has it so far beside me!"
Tempest snorted and showcased a four-stripped Demonic Core that Yu Long handed him as a snack earlier.
The golden toad was appalled.
'What the hell? Since when did the four-stripped Demonic Core become a common thing?' He thought in a shambles.
Yu Long glanced at Tempest and asked, "What is this Golden Behemoth's Claw?"
"Ultimate Gold," Tempest answered calmly.
"It was said the Heavenly King of Gold was the descendant of Three-Legged Red Toad and Golden-Eyed Toad, inheriting his parent's innate powers, which is Ultimate Gold, the highest element of Metal."
"The Golden Behemoth's Claw is a weapon made with Ultimate Gold, known for its sharpness and durability."
"It could even cut through Heavenly King of Stone's runic body."
"I noticed that God Master lacks a good weapon and initiated a better trade."
Heavenly King of Gold's eyelid twitched. This green bird ran her mouth about his secret.
However, the golden toad was depressed.
Before this, he had three Golden Behemoth's Claws, but one was taken away by the Little Demon Empress, leaving him with only two.
It was hard to fight with just two ultimate weapons.
He's weighing the worth of Evergreen Tree's Dew and his Golden Behemoth's Claw.
A few seconds later, the Heavenly King of Gold pulled his tongue out of the Star River and said, "Fine, let's do a trade."
"I will give you my Golden Behemoth's Claw, but you must give me ten drops of Evergreen Tree's Dew."
"Do we have a deal?"
'Ten drops? How cheap.' Yu Long thought to himself. He had a nearly basin-full of Evergreen Tree's Dew, so ten drops are nothing.
Yu Long mentally put ten drops of the dew into the jade bottle and traded it with the Golden Behemoth's Claw, realizing it was actually a golden sword.
This golden sword was much stronger than Yu Long's bone knife made with his own bone. Yes, It is making Yu Long curious about the Golden Toad's Ultimate Gold.
At the same time, the Heavenly King of Gold was overjoyed, not realizing he was making a loss in this trade.
