Chapter 631: The Raven's Treasure

"Are you okay?" The Queen looked at the wound on Han Sen's back in fright .

From shoulder to waist, his back had been sliced entirely open . The gash was so deep, his spine was visible .

On Han Sen's neck, there was another wound that oozed blood . Fortunately for him, it wasn't so deep as to touch the bone or windpipe . If the raven had been allowed to go any deeper, he'd most likely have been decapitated .

The wounds were scary to look at, but the blood loss wasn't too severe . Han Sen's Ice Skin allowed him to control his body, whereas his Heresy Mantra allowed him to control his blood flow . If it weren't for those talents, he'd most likely have bled out and died .

"I can hold it," Han Sen hissed from his gritted teeth . His back was in agony, and he knew he had a damaged spine . But fortunately, it wasn't too bad . If he had been a second slower with his jump, his spine would have been shredded and nothing could have saved his life .

The Queen retrieved some medicine from her satchel and applied it to his wounds, which made Han Sen cry out in pain .

Then, all of a sudden, a screech pierced the air . The black raven, tangled and restrained by the vines, didn't look so fearsome as it once did . The ends of the vines were spiked, and they drove themselves deep into the raven's body . The vines seemed alive, as if they had a thirst for the raven's blood . As they absorbed the scarlet, the vines themselves turned a deep shade of red .

The dried-up vines writhed with renewed vigor, and they started to grow longer and larger than before .

Caw! Caw!

The black raven called out twice . Its body contorted and twisted as plumes of feathers puffed out to dress the air like snowfall . With great strength, the raven squirmed its way free from the clutch of the vines and took off into the air in fear . It was gone for good .

Han Sen froze when he saw that . He did not expect the raven to be strong enough to escape the grasp of the vines .

After the raven escaped, the gourd vines retreated, wrapping their way around the bones just as they were earlier . The vines that had turned red now became yellow like before, as well . However, many of them started to sprout green leaves .

The gourd in Han Sen's hand continued to pulsate, but this sensation did not disappear like it had before . Han Sen held onto it, unsure whether or not life existed inside it .

If it contained something like the blood crystal wasps, Han Sen would rather discard it right now . But because he was unsure, he wasn't willing to let go of some potential treasure just yet .

Aside from the strange beating pulse, nothing in particular stood out . As he fingered it, his eyes drifted to the raven's feathers that now carpeted the ground .

The black feathers of the raven were of its outer-coat . It wasn't a great number that had fallen, but there were around thirty . Each feather was about one foot long . He reached to grab one and his eyes lit up .

The black feathers belonged to a super creature and did not look normal . Rather than enabling flight, they were more like weapons the raven could employ .

Every feather was like steel, and it was frightening to simply hold .

"This cannot be the treasure the raven dropped . " Han Sen told the Queen to gather up all the black feathers for him .

After an accurate count, there were thirty-six feathers . It was a number that could be evenly split . With each feather being the same size, Han Sen considered the possibility of crafting a fan with them .

Han Sen's back was in terrible pain . He looked at the Queen and said, "How about you try out the sturdiness of the feathers?"

The Queen nodded . She drew her sacred-blood beast soul sword and chopped one of the feathers with a direct hit . Nothing . Not a single scratch was left upon it .

"This really is some good stuff!" Han Sen looked happy . If he managed to modify the feathers a certain way, he'd be able to craft a new type of bolt . If he used them alongside his peacock crossbow, he might be able to slay a super creature with them .

"How about we split them up evenly? Eighteen feathers each," Han Sen suggested to the Queen .

"It is useless for me to own a bunch of silly feathers . You can have them all . " The Queen passed all of the feathers to Han Sen .

Earlier, the Queen took notice of the strange crossbow Han Sen had used to fire at the red-cloud donkey . Strangely enough, it looked quite similar to the Deadeye Peacock . The Queen was starting to wonder if the crossbow was the peacock's beast soul .

Han Sen was certainly not going to admit anything on such a subject, so the Queen didn't ask . If Han Sen wanted those feathers, it'd be to make bolts . Such bolts and a crossbow would come in handy for the slaying of super creatures, so she preferred not saying anything and simply giving all of the feathers to Han Sen outright .

Han Sen gave the Queen a strange look as he accepted all the feathers .

He believed from the way the Queen looked back at him that she knew there was something up with his new crossbow . Yet she hadn't said a word about it . Her giving him all the feathers just made him confused .

"We have to leave while the raven is gone . If the donkey returns, our escape will be difficult with you unable to run due to your injury . " After the Queen said this, she picked Han Sen up and supported him in his descent down the rest of the mountain .

Han Sen was being carried on the Queen's back . He felt incredibly privileged and cared for, for this was the first time anyone else had helped him in such a way . The fact that it was a woman made him feel odd, however .

Luckily enough, no more dangers arose during their time on the road . They managed to descend the mountain without interruptions . The Queen summoned an elephant ride and took Han Sen to the nearest shelter so he could return to the Alliance and recover . His wounds were incredibly grievous, and healing would not come quick or easy with only medicine .

But he didn't return to the Alliance, in the end . He had the silver fox, and it was better than any potion or remedy the Alliance could provide . Therefore, there was no reason to return .

Han Sen continued thinking about the gourd, as well . He did not want to return to the Alliance yet, because he did not want to leave the gourd unattended .

He went straight to the silver fox and it immediately approached Han Sen to lick his wounds . It was as strange as ever, to watch the wounds seal up with each passing lick . Even the damaged bones straightened, their gashes filling in .

With Han Sen's wounds recovering, the Queen booked another room so they could live there temporarily . After leaving his room, Han Sen pulled out the gourd and presented it to the silver fox, so he might determine if it was good or bad .

Examining the gourd, the silver fox looked upon it strangely . It continued to observe the gourd closely, circling it and sniffing it every way it could .

Han Sen looked at the gourd for a while, as well . But soon after, the silver fox just turned around and went to sleep on the carpet .

"Hey, you better tell me what this thing is . " From the silver fox's behavior, he could not tell whether the gourd was a good thing or a bad thing .

But the silver fox just remained sleeping on the carpet, ignoring the commands of his master . Han Sen knew the silver fox wasn't human, and it would not understand the complex lexicon of the human language, so he stopped talking .
