The Villainess Wants a Divorce:Beast Husbands Regret It to Tears-Chapter 21: Is This a Battle for Favor?
The surface of the crystal was smooth and round, its shape close to oval, pervaded by a faint green hue.
It looked as if liquid flowed inside the crystal, emanating a soft green light.
It was a Green Rank Beast Crystal!
"Green Rank?"
Kaelan was the first to run over.
"Really! It’s a Green Rank Beast Crystal!"
"We are really lucky. We just killed a fierce beast, and we already have a Beast Crystal."
Evan also lifted his head. Originally resting against the tree trunk, he slowly straightened up.
His eyes flickered slightly as his gaze fell on the translucent green crystal.
Green Rank Beast Crystals are extremely rare in the world of the Beastkin.
They usually only appear within High Rank Fierce Beasts, and are encountered once in a century.
There is a saying in the tribe: "Yellow Rank is everywhere, Blue Rank is considered expert, Green Rank is as rare as the stars."
Among them, except for Isaac who was Green Rank, the others were stuck at Yellow Rank for many years.
The stagnation in level meant limited combat power, difficult hunting, and even a hard time advancing in the tribe’s hierarchy.
With this Beast Crystal, at least someone could break through the rank and step onto a higher stage.
Isaac came over, his purple eyes staring at the crystal, yet he appeared calm. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Male hunters who obtained Beast Crystals must hand them over to females.
This unchanging rule of The Primal Age, maintained by the bloodline contract, dared not be defied.
No matter how strong you are, as long as you’re not yet beyond the tribal system, you must abide by this iron rule.
In The Primal Age, Beast Crystals are divided into two kinds: colored and transparent.
Colored Beast Crystals are rich in Heaven and Earth Energy, which can help cultivators break through bottlenecks and enhance their level.
Transparent Beast Crystals, on the other hand, lean towards nourishing the body, enhancing physical fitness, slowing aging, and extending life.
Transparent Beast Crystals can enhance physical fitness and extend life.
Typically, males would not use them on themselves, instead saving them for females.
Because in a world where the weak fall prey to the strong, the health and longevity of females are directly related to the continuation of the tribe.
A strong female can nurture more offspring, safeguarding the entire family’s safety.
While colored Beast Crystals can enhance ranks, after handing them to females, there’s no guarantee they might be returned to the males.
After all, Beast Crystals are hard currency, able to exchange for many things in the marketplace.
They can be used not only for trade but also as bargaining chips for alliances.
Wyatt held the green crystal with slightly whitened knuckles, silent for a moment.
But in the end, he didn’t keep it. Instead, he took a deep breath and turned to walk toward Seraphina.
Seraphina was resting with her eyes closed, leaning against a tree.
At the sound of footsteps, she opened her eyes slowly, her eyelashes trembling as she saw Wyatt standing in front of her, holding out a green crystal in his palm.
"This was found inside the Great Viperdile."
Wyatt said in a low voice.
"For you."
Seraphina lowered her head, gazing at the green Crystal Stone in her hand. As her fingertips touched the cold surface, a myriad of complex emotions surged in her heart.
It was then that she recalled the world’s rules.
In this world, no matter which male hunted a beast, the valuable Crystal Cores had to be handed to the contracted female.
How great it would be if this were transparent.
That legendary High-level Crystal Stone was said to contain extremely pure energy, directly absorbable by the body, instantly enhancing strength without the lengthy cultivation process.
Her current body was too frail, even using a little bit of power caused a faint pain.
Encountering a danger like just now again, she might not last a few moves, nor even have the chance to escape.
But upon thinking, Green Rank Crystal Stones themselves were extremely rare.
And although Great Viperdiles were ferocious, they usually produced Yellow Rank Crystal Stones. Finding a complete Green Rank Crystal Stone was an unimaginable stroke of luck.
Perhaps... it was her father’s guidance from the beyond?
She took a deep breath and looked up.
"Come over here, I have something to say."
As the others heard her words, they paused for a moment.
They exchanged glances, then gradually came over, forming a semicircle in front of her.
The tall males stood together, shoulder to shoulder, almost blocking the west-leaning sunlight.
Seraphina stood among them, her figure appearing particularly slender.
She took a deep breath, her gaze sweeping over them one by one.
Finally, her eyes fell on the Beast Rings on their wrists or ankles, glowing gently.
After a moment, she extended her hand, presenting the crystal to Wyatt.
"This is for you."
"You’re closest to Green Rank; with this, you can break through, right?"
Wyatt’s eyes widened suddenly.
Almost instinctively, he reached out and took the crystal that was still warm from her touch.
Then, he quickly looked up at her, his voice hoarse.
"You... really giving it to me?"
It’s a Green Crystal Stone, after all.
In the outside world, such a crystal could be exchanged for a pile of valuable resources.
And yet she, without a word, handed it over to him?
Seraphina nodded, her expression earnest.
"Your strength is truly insufficient."
The scene from earlier surfaced in her mind again.
The Great Viperdile suddenly leapt out from the mire, its foul stench hitting them full force, its thick tail sweeping across, sending Kaelan flying.
Thinking of this, her heart still constricted somewhat, and her voice turned slightly hoarse.
"Earlier, battling a Green Rank beast was already such a struggle. If we run into a stronger opponent, finding my father would be out of the question. Surviving this wild forest would be unlikely."
She paused, her gaze slowly scanning each person’s face.
"If you ascend to Green Rank, our overall combat strength would greatly improve. The journey would be safer, without constant interceptions, and risking life and limb to fight to the death."
Wyatt, with his head lowered, tightly clenched the crystal.
The crystal’s gentle glow seeped through his fingers, casting light on his cold profile.
His Adam’s apple moved slightly, a complex look flashing in his eyes.
So... she thought they were too weak to protect her?
But no matter her purpose, this crystal is life-saving for him.
He’d been stuck at Yellow Rank for far too long.
With this crystal, there’s a high chance of breaking through, doubling his combat power.
For three years, he had endured grueling extreme training day in and day out.
Facing Aberrant Beasts to survive, yet never touching that invisible barrier.
Each attempt to break through bottlenecks ended in failure, with energy within accumulating into pain.
But now it’s different. The energy in this crystal is pure and dense, enough to clear his last few blocked Spiritual Veins, propelling him into Green Rank.
A successful breakthrough would greatly enhance his speed, power, and perception ability, no longer just a self-preserving member of the team.
He suppressed the emotions in his heart and tucked the crystal into his chest.
"Alright. Once I break through, I will protect you, until we find your father."
Beside him, Gideon got anxious and shouted, "Why give it to him? I want to level up too!"
He boasted, "Not only do I run faster than her, but carrying you is also more stable!"
Although he knew Wyatt’s strength was greater.
Yet the unwillingness in his heart couldn’t help but surface.
