Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2108 - 657: An Unexpected Discovery

The outcome of the Battle of the Oil Mounds would surely make the Fallen Elves collectively cry like Meng Jiangnu, but many unrelated people gained unexpected wealth because of this battle.

Besides Rommel profiting greatly with a vast supply of "Sea Lotus Ancient Lamp Algae Cakes" as food supply, and gathering a heap of armor and weapons, Feilongcui collected the most spoils from the battlefield.

The overbearing Summer Palace Warriors, besides not scuffling over food reserves excessively, basically took whatever they liked, just like picking sweet melons from their own fields, paying no mind whatsoever to the feelings of others; whether it’s Lucian’s "allies" or Naga prisoners, if anyone dared to utter even half a word against their actions, a 300-pound slap would instantly be swung their way, either breaking an entire rib cage or cracking half a skull.

The ten "Ancient Ocean Trees" laden with grape pearls had long made the Beamon thieves drool three thousand feet. Once the battle was over, they were the first to rush forward and accept them with a smile; fifty "Eight-legged Giant Squids" weren’t bad either. Although these enormous sea beasts with mountain-bearing strength were not Magical Beasts and did not possess the resilience of a sticky candy on the battlefield, they were even more drought-resistant than giant dragon turtles. Once fed and watered, they needed no further sustenance for two months; moreover, these ocean labor beasts were natural cranes, able to spare four tentacles to grasp heavy objects and lift them higher at any time. In the recent battle, the Naga’s heavy crossbow engineers relied on them to continuously haul up bundles of fish-dried arrows onto bald heads, ensuring combat consumption was met.

Perhaps the Naga knew Beamon was relatively impoverished, able to make a battlefield void by just kicking over a few earthen fences and couldn’t forage locally to meet military demands, so they specifically brought an "Ocean Life Ancient Tree" and four "Eternal Moon Algae"—this type of algae was a peculiar plant cultivated by Naga priests using secret techniques, acting as a womb for breeding small elves, much like the Surface Elves’ "Eternal Moon Well."

With Moon Algae and the "Tree of Life," as long as they could find enough forest trees, the Naga could plant "Ancient Lamp Sea Lotus" on-site, alleviating some food consumption! This privilege of having such magical plants was thanks to Naga being Upper Elves. Ordinary elf tribes could never display such luxurious wonders!

However, the "Tree of Life" and "Eternal Moon Algae" fell into Old Liu’s hands, and he certainly wouldn’t use them to cultivate any "Ancient Lamp Sea Lotus." With these two treasures, Chesang Continent’s melon yield would increase by an additional two hundred each week.

What surprised Old Liu was that the Naga actually developed a type of botanical pet equipment called the "Sea Tree Treasure Vase," specially designed to transport marine plants along military expeditions. This treasure vase appeared as a delicate and elegant crystal vase filled with blue, clear seawater, and when marine plants were placed inside, it resembled a miniature universe within, heartbreakingly beautiful.

Compared to the crudely made Guoguo badges now widely used by Beamon priests, the Naga’s "Sea Tree Treasure Vase" was not only as exquisite and elegant as an art piece but also collected the brilliance of the "Bolan Xiuer Constellation" to be used as a free lamp at night, truly versatile. {PS Beast Blood background: The "Bolan Xiuer Stars" in Aegean legend are said to be tears of the ancient Moon Elf Queen Bolan Xiuer, the brightest all-night star in the sky.}

Luckily, Feilongcui’s welfare measures were quite in place. Ordinary weapons, armor, and gold and silver treasures were not given a proper glance by the Summer Palace Warriors, who only pocketed Naga specialty equipment like the "Ancient Ocean Tree" and "Underwater Barrier Formation," leaving the major spoils for Lucian’s warriors fighting for half a day; otherwise, even if the Fallen Warriors were headless, they wouldn’t stand for it!

Prince Lionheart Kahn also gathered a lot of good stuff, such as two thousand seven-linked crossbow cars and piles of salted fish-dried crossbow bolts as high as mountains, four hundred clockwork catapults, a large number of fish skin weave bags, and over ten thousand fifty-five-pound stone pellets—all of which, according to prisoner confessions, were intended by the Naga commander to assault the sturdy London City. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Naga’s heavy machinery inherited the elves’ traditional precision and elegance. The clockwork catapult, made with underwater Kalan wood as its arm and utilizing a curve lever for tensioning, could launch fifty-five-pound projectiles a distance of 1,200 yards with sea silkworm string elasticity cords! However, Naga’s heavy crossbow cars were somewhat love-hate, as they required specifically sized fish-dried crossbow bolts for their usage, and once the salted fish was exhausted, these expensive and precise heavy crossbows became a pile of scrap.

For Beamon, the true practical value lay in those five thousand embroidered ball chariots. Beamon lacked the brilliance or the massive manpower and resources to craft such spherical stone balls. Now, having them on hand made all the difference. With Rhine strongmen’s robust build, there was no need to be like sea lion warriors, requiring four people to maneuver a two to three-meter high stone ball.

Ever since acquiring the embroidered ball chariots, Prince Kahn and his Rhine Swordsmen couldn’t suppress their urge to perform, spontaneously demonstrating what "Lions Stepping on Embroidered Balls" really meant. After testing their footwork, they unanimously chose the "single-wheel stepping"—where a single person stepped on a stone ball and aggressively rolled it forward; their stone-stepping speed reached at least twenty seconds per 100 meters and showed signs of accelerating!
