Chapter 2048: Chapter 684: Dissecting the Legendary Giant Rhinoceros, Terrifying Profits! (2)

In an instant, the small hills in front disappeared completely.

Nearby, Zevlin saw this scene, and his eyes again showed signs of envy and curiosity.

Having lived for hundreds of years, this was the first time he witnessed the hunting and such clean disassembly of a Legendary Giant Rhinoceros.

His heart was filled with curiosity about the mysterious effects the materials from such a powerful Legendary Creature might possess!

However, Cao Xing paid him no heed.

Instead, he turned around directly, ready to head to the Blacksmith Shop.

Just then—

Cao Xing’s peripheral vision suddenly caught something special lying on the ground.

That object abruptly appeared on the clearing, seemingly hidden under the disassembled Giant Rhino Meat.

Once Cao Xing stored all the Giant Rhino Meat in his backpack, the object finally revealed itself.

"Hm? Could there still be something on this Giant Rhinoceros?"

With a hint of doubt in his expression.

Cao Xing turned around and walked toward that clearing.

Then, finally, he clearly saw the appearance of that item.

It looked like a circular talisman stone, about the size of a palm.

The edges of the talisman stone were carved with intricate and ancient patterns.

And in the central region of the talisman stone, there was a carving of a bull pattern.

"What’s this thing?"

Cao Xing’s eyes showed a strange expression.

Then he reached out his hand and picked up the peculiar talisman stone.

[Acquired: Polluted Twelve Holy Beasts Talisman Stone (Cow)]

...

"Hm? Twelve Holy Beasts Talisman Stone, and it’s polluted?"

Upon seeing the information on this item, Cao Xing became even more curious.

Unable to wait, he eagerly checked the item’s information.

[Polluted Twelve Holy Beasts Talisman Stone (Cow)]

[Quality: Unknown]

[Item Effect ①: Bestowing this rune on a creature with Cow Clan bloodline grants it the ’Infinite Strength’ effect, increasing basic strength by 300% (the talisman stone is polluted, and cannot be activated)]

[Item Effect ②: Gather all Twelve Holy Beasts Talisman Stones and purify them, then proceed to the ’Realm of Eternal Life’ to resurrect ’???’.]

(Note: This talisman stone was originally one of twelve left by ’???’ prior to death, bestowing these twelve stones to twelve creatures: rat, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig...

These twelve creatures became the Twelve Holy Beasts.

’???’ granted them immense power, anticipating a day where the Twelve Holy Beasts gather to resurrect him.

But due to unknown reasons, these talisman stones were tainted by an unknown force, and the Twelve Holy Beasts became frenzied, irritable, losing their consciousness.

The time for ’???’ resurrection was indefinitely prolonged.)

...

...

Seeing the lengthy introduction about this thing, Cao Xing was instantly stunned.

Moments later, he exclaimed in shock: "Whoa... this time I seem to have gotten my hands on something incredible!"

"Twelve Holy Beasts Talisman Stone! Collecting them can even resurrect a mysterious being!"

The strength of this mysterious being was unknown, but even the introduction on the System was filled with a series of question marks.

There was only one possibility for such a scenario.

That being’s power must be terrifying!

Far beyond what Cao Xing could fathom at the moment.

Only by enhancing his own strength further would the System introduction display the name of the mysterious being.

"Interesting..."

Cao Xing’s lips curled into a slightly entertained smile.

He currently had no intention of resurrecting this figure, especially since he had no clue who it even was, hastily reviving them.

That’s like shining a lantern in a toilet — searching for poop?

Of course, putting aside that particular effect.

This ’Cow Talisman Stone’ is indeed exceptionally powerful!

Able to increase the strength of creatures with Cow Clan bloodline by 300%, it could be considered a tremendously terrifying boost.

And within Cao Xing Territory, only those Cloud Yaks and cows currently possessed Cow Clan lineage.

"Could it be... a battle-type Cloud Yak needs to be cultivated?"

Cao Xing murmured quietly.

But moments later, he realized something, "No, when I just took down the Legendary Giant Rhinoceros, it also dropped a Minotaur Chief Recruitment Scroll."

"I could completely give this talisman stone to him!"

Don’t say Minotaurs aren’t cows, even the rhinoceros they took down was a Holy Beast of the Cow Clan!

And this gave rise to another idea in Cao Xing’s mind.

"From this standpoint... aside from the Giant Rhinoceros... cow, possessing a ’Cow Talisman Stone’."

"There should be another eleven creatures each carrying a different race’s talisman stone..."

"These talisman stones likely have strong effects, possibly not losing out to the Cow Talisman Stone."

"Including the creatures possessing the corresponding talisman stones, their strength likely is not weak, probably at least Legendary Level."

"If... all these maddened Holy Beasts could be found and taken out!"

"I’d not only acquire the remaining eleven talisman stones but also gain a plethora of Legendary Level materials!"

Thinking this through, Cao Xing felt a surge of excitement.

Of course, finding the other eleven Holy Beasts would be quite challenging.

At least for now, he had no leads.

Even the rhinoceros was freed by Binglan inadvertently breaking its Sealing.

Moreover, before this, finding a method to purify the [Cow Talisman Stone] was essential.

Having such a powerful item unusable is quite a loss.

Thus, Cao Xing glanced toward Isabell in the crowd, asking: "Isabell, this Cow Talisman Stone seems to be polluted by some force."

"Do you have a way to purify it?"

As a Holy Light Sage, wielding incredibly powerful Divine powers, she could be considered a nemesis for many evil and Dark forces.
