Chapter 33 Did he make the wrong choice?

When the fog in the secret realm dissipated, everyone could see clearly that the corpses of monsters were everywhere. They should be the food hunted by the guardian monsters.

It was obvious that these monsters had been dead for some time. A foul smell filled the air, and thick water flowed out along the monsters' broken leather armor, bubbling and seeping into the soil.

The disciples of Qingyue Peak all frowned and couldn't help but take a few steps back. "This... are we really going to find something from this pile of stinking meat?"

"These monsters are almost rotten into a pool of mud. Can we really find anything useful?"

The disciples looked at each other, and no one was willing to be the first to take action.

Ye Zhao was not annoyed. He just bent down and walked towards a Split-Armored Ape that looked like it had been dead for a long time.

She stretched out a hand and inserted it into the monster's bloody belly, her arm almost sinking deep into the beast's body.

All the disciples held their breath, and some even vomited on the spot.

After a few breaths, Ye Zhao turned his palm and pulled out a sharp object that was dark gold and shaped like a bone spur.

"The bone spurs of the Armor-Splitting Ape can be melted into the bone core of a mid-grade weapon, or ground into bone powder for making elixirs."

The disciples looked at the bone spur, their eyes gradually brightening with surprise and doubt.

Ye Zhao continued to explain: "And the two-eyed red snake, although its body has rotted away, its inner core is still there..."

"Don't pick the corpses of high-level monsters. Those have already been searched by other sects. Choose the most disgusting and bloody ones, the ones that no one wants to touch. Treasures hidden here will not be easily discovered."

The disciples were stunned, watching Ye Zhao calmly walk among the corpses of several monsters, and pick out three or four useful things in a few seconds. They all looked shocked.

Someone couldn't help swallowing and tentatively approached the corpse of a split-tooth scorpion.

"Let me try..."

"Master said that the scorpion's tail stinger can also be used to refine weapons!"

"There's a piece of nail over there that doesn't seem to be completely rotten!"

In an instant, the disciples who had previously looked disgusted seemed to suddenly wake up and began to search for the remains of the monster.

The scene of the disciples of Qingyue Peak searching around the corpse of the monster gradually attracted the attention of other sects around them.

Especially the people from Xialing Peak, who could see it clearly from a distance.

At first, the disciples of Qingyue Peak were very disgusted, but with Ye Zhao's guidance, they actually found various spiritual treasures one after another from the pile of smelly corpses.

"Can you pick out treasures from here?" A disciple from Xia Lingfeng couldn't help swallowing.

"Look at the animal bones in that man's hand. They're top-notch refining materials!"

"Oh my god, someone over there found a complete set of rot-feathered eagle wing bones..."

The disciples of Xia Lingfeng, who originally had a slight sense of superiority, were now itching to try it out and rubbing their hands in envy.

Pei Yan naturally saw it as well, and his eyes moved between Qingyue Peak and Ye Zhao.

He saw Ye Zhao leaning over and searching for spiritual materials from a pile of rotten meat. His technique was neat and skillful, and he would occasionally instruct the disciples around him...

A slight ripple rose in his heart, and he turned to look at Ye Wange, "Master, we can also go and take a look, maybe we can find something useful."

Ye Wange nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look."

The disciples followed Ye Wange to the pile of monster corpses in another direction.

As they approached, the stench of the corpses made everyone frown again. Pei Yan looked at the disgusting pile of corpses in front of him and asked Ye Wange with a frown:

"Master, do you know what kind of monsters these are? Where should we start?"

Ye Wange's expression froze.

"Well... these monsters... I could recognize them when they were alive, but now that they're rotten like this, I can't recognize them anymore..." She looked a little embarrassed. "You can explore on your own."

The disciples looked at each other, not daring to act rashly.

Pei Yan was also a little at a loss for a moment. He thought that since Ye Wange could kill the monster easily, she must also know some knowledge related to the monster. However, he did not expect that she knew nothing about these things.

He subconsciously turned around and looked at the Qingyue Peak camp not far away.

There, Ye Zhao was standing next to a cracked-armor ape, leaning over and pointing at several parts of the corpse, explaining them one by one to his disciples.

"The armor of the Rift-Armored Ape isn't as tough as the Heaven-Swallowing Ape's. Even if this piece of armor is intact, it's useless. It's better to throw it away. The tendon can be extracted..."

The disciples listened attentively, and no one frowned even though the smell was fishy.

Pei Yan suddenly felt his throat a little dry, and the image of Ye Zhao training them, explaining formations to them, and analyzing the habits of monsters seemed to appear in front of him.

Although her cultivation level was a little low, every time she spoke, her words were meaningful, and every time she gave guidance, she hit the nail on the head.

But in the past, he thought that Ye Zhao was only good at talking and could not compare with Ye Wange, who was at the peak of the Golden Core stage at a young age.

He lowered his head silently, and an idea emerged in his mind.

Did he... make the wrong choice?

Pei Yan stood in front of the monster's corpse, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

He was once Ye Zhao's direct disciple, and learned a lot about dissecting monsters from his childhood, but he had never done it himself.

Seeing that some of the disciples from Qingyue Peak had already pulled out the stinger from the scorpion's tail and were happily asking Ye Zhao for credit, he squatted down in front of a pile of smelly meat, enduring the stench oozing from the corpse and rummaging through it with a dagger.

After searching for a while, he finally recognized that it was the corpse of a Rot-Feathered Eagle.

"The wing bones of the Rotten Feather Eagle can be picked off..." He tried hard to recall what Ye Zhao had said before, and cut open the wing bones bit by bit with the dagger.

But unexpectedly, a poisonous stinger suddenly popped out, and the hook quickly scratched across the back of Pei Yan's hand.

"Hiss!" He gasped suddenly and looked down. A purple-blue blood blister had swollen on the back of his hand. The skin turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and foul-smelling pus oozed out.

And that’s not the worst.

At the same time, several disciples of Xia Lingfeng who were trying to search for spiritual materials from the corpses of monsters were also caught.

Some of them pulled out the poisonous tail hooks and accidentally let the venom splash into their eyes. They fell to the ground in pain, holding their heads and screaming.

Some people did not have enough strength to pull out the monster's bone claws, and their arms were scratched by the bone fragments.

Some people were slashing around with knives and were splashed with an unknown yellow-green liquid.

There were screams everywhere at the scene.

The disciples from other sects who were originally watching the fun all retreated and avoided it, fearing that they would be contaminated by the poisonous juice.

Pei Yan held his swollen hand and looked up at Ye Wange: "Master, I'm poisoned, what should I do?"

Ye Wange's expression was not good either. "Just suck out the poisonous blood yourself."

Pei Yan: “…”

At the same time, bursts of laughter came from Qingyue Peak.

"Master, look, I found the inner elixir of the Cleft-Tooth Scorpion!"

"Haha, I just found a whole rib!"

Ye Zhao also squatted in front of the Sky-Swallowing Python, whose body was still relatively intact and which she had noticed at the beginning, and searched through it with ease.
