This forced pretending is by no means ordinary, and it is definitely not easy for a sullen person like Captain Cao to give up such an opportunity. If this matter spreads, it will indeed be very beautiful, and Commander Cao has no doubt. But in the same way, Head Cao also understands that although his reputation will rise because of this, it will also cause a lot of trouble.

The most obvious thing is that the noble Stern will never sit back and watch the fame and fortune of the head of Cao. After fighting a southern expedition and having a little military merit, Stern couldn't sit still, and made stumbling blocks for Captain Cao everywhere, if he knew about it, then he would have to do it? Commander Cao really didn't want to bird Stern, but Old Man Ao was right, even if Commander Cao didn't want to admit it, Stern's current power has reached the level of the sky, and the entire Beamon Temple is Stern's final say. Originally, the separation of powers between Stern and His Majesty Pedro was equal, but it was precisely because of the appearance of Captain Cao and the death of the giant beast of St. Beamon that Stern ruthlessly messed with the Tiger tribe, and now the power of the Rhine tribe has almost reached the peak since Stern became the high priest of the temple.

Head Cao himself had already calculated a detailed account, and finally found that if this matter was announced, the final result would outweigh the losses. Stern has always known that Captain Cao is the product of the swan song of the life of the Saint Beamon Behemoth, and Stern has always been testing whether Captain Cao has gotten benefits from the St. Beamon Behemoth. Regarding the fact that he had obtained the inheritance of the St. Beaton Behemoth, except for a very few insiders around him, Captain Cao was tight-lipped about everyone. Captain Cao also knows what it means to protect himself, so he has never shown his personal strength too much, and what he is worried about is that Stern will see the clues.

Stern has always been a small-bellied guy, and once he knows that Captain Cao has benefited a lot from that blood sacrifice, I'm afraid that the old guy will have to do his best to toss Captain Cao now. The old guy was cunning and unusual, and if the news spread, he would be able to figure out the reason for it at the first time. Once, Captain Cao also felt that as long as he didn't mess around in Sri Lanka, he didn't have to look at Stern's face to live. But this idea is still too naïve. Just like what Old Man Ao said, Stern wants to be an iron-hearted head Cao, there are 10,000 ways to achieve the goal, and he may not really have to do anything to Captain Cao. He can use his papal influence to make trouble for those who believe in him, and not do anything to Captain Cao, can't Stern find a way to do it to the raiders or those people that Captain Cao cares about?

Old man Ao also gave his own advice on this, that is, before Captain Cao has reached the capital of calling for Stern, he must not collide with Stern head-on. Captain Cao only needs to grow slowly and grow when Stern doesn't notice. As for the false name, it can be resigned, and improving the strength of the Cao Group is the last word. It may be a winding path, but it's definitely the wisest thing to do. Captain Cao accepted Old Man Ao's suggestion, so even if Stern came to discredit Captain Cao's merits in the Southern Expedition, everyone else felt that it was inappropriate, but Captain Cao never said a word of complaint, and Captain Cao also knew that even if he showed his dissatisfaction, Stern would only make him more uncomfortable.

After gaining Jessica's understanding. Commander Cao also ran to clean up the battlefield in a good mood. As soon as he thought of his prey, Captain Cao couldn't help but want to sing loudly, a king-level demonic beast, it was full of treasures. Head Cao couldn't remember how long he hadn't eaten meat. The meat of the king-level demonic beast, Captain Cao felt his index finger move just thinking about it.

However, when Captain Cao found the body of the Sphinx, Captain Cao was dumbfounded. He had forgotten that this was the desert. After the Sphinx died, the body was placed in the middle of the desert, and the strange climate here is needless to say. At a distance, Captain Cao smelled a violent rancid smell. When he got closer, Captain Cao was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, because the desert was so hot during the day that the body of the Sphinx had deteriorated.

To tell the truth, Captain Cao has always been thinking about the Sphinx, although the scorpion looks hideous, but the flesh inside the shell is snow-white, and after a little processing, it is absolutely delicious and abnormal. But in the face of this deteriorating corpse, even if Captain Cao has good cooking skills, he has no power to return to the sky, and in the end he can only cry without tears.

Captain Cao found his own weeping, and at the same time split the huge head of the Sphinx, although a big meal was gone, fortunately, the most valuable thing on the Sphinx could not be spoiled. The magic crystal of the king-level demonic beast, this is the real rare treasure, and the dragon crystal that was extorted from Stern at the beginning is just the magic crystal of the lord-level demonic beast, how can its value be compared to the treasure of the king-level demonic beast?

With a knife, Captain Cao directly split the Sphinx's head in half, and a nine-sided magic crystal the size of a palm, with blood foam and brains, rolled to Captain Cao's feet. After wiping it carefully, Head Cao's satisfied mouth burst with laughter. This nine-sided magic crystal is sandy yellow, and the purity is quite high, if you feel it carefully, you will feel a surging and pure elemental power from it. The Sphinx didn't release too much large-scale magic at the time, so much so that it still had a lot of elemental power left in it. These elemental powers are the purest source elemental powers, and as long as the users of the elemental powers can use them for their own use, they are much more precious than those valuable elemental potions in the human world. There are too many methods used in the magic crystals of king-level demonic beasts, as long as they are used well, even if they are not much better than some artifacts.

The bone armor of the Sphinx is also a rare good item, and Captain Cao finally removed a piece, but found that it was completely different from what he imagined. In the fight between the Sphinx and Captain Cao, this armor made Captain Cao spend a lot of effort, and Captain Cao also felt that this bone armor would be extremely heavy, but it turned out to be different. This black bone armor is very lightweight, and its weight is on par with some dense wood, far from the weight of ordinary metal.

Captain Cao studied for a long time before discovering the special features of this bone armor. Its hardness does not come from its material or density, but from the tempering of the Sphinx's elemental power day after day, so that this bone armor is indestructible. Sand elemental power is a branch of earth-based elemental power, and it also focuses on the two characteristics of strength and defense, so it's no wonder that a body as large as the Sphinx has such a fast speed. If it can be recycled and smelted, it is a super good product used to make armor, and Captain Cao hollowed out the carrion of the Sphinx in three strokes and five by two. I disposed of the dozens of feet of the body as much as possible, and stuffed the torso part into the main shell, but it was still amazingly large. This kind of good thing will never be let go of Captain Cao, and now he just needs to figure out how to move this thing home without attracting attention.

Bone armor that is dozens of zhang square! Commander Cao has a large group of flame dwarves under his command, and among them, there are also grandmaster-level forging and smelting masters like Rondo, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to recycle. These materials are more than enough to arm the eleven soldiers of the raiding regiment from head to toe twice. Those guys are thinking about the luxurious armament of the Eighteen Horsemen every day, and the bone armor of the Sphinx is only stronger than the full-body armor of the Eighteen Horsemen. Once armed with the backbone of the raiding group, it will definitely be able to greatly improve their entity. The front-line troops of the Raiding Regiment are now all dressed in heavy armor. The weight alone was staggering, and carrying their armor during the march was a hassle. Wearing such heavy armor, the safety factor is indeed very good, but at the same time, it also affects the combat effectiveness that they can exert. Speed and agility will be greatly reduced, and with the new gear, they will get an all-around boost.

As soon as he thought that he was about to have an exclusive black-armored warrior guard, Captain Cao almost fainted with laughter. Just as he was about to lift his feet, the corner of his eye swept a little light. The light came from the Sphinx's skull that had been split open by Captain Cao. It is in the position of the lower jaw. If it weren't for the fact that Captain Cao cut the big head into two pieces with an unhappy stomach just now, it would not be easy to find this light. When I picked it up, it was a thumb-sized bead.

This bead is also very special, let's say it's a pearl. Head Cao was not sure. Scorpion monsters should logically not produce pearls, and this bead is also a sandy yellow. Under the moonlight, you can faintly see that it is not crystal clear. The inside of the bead is as wonderful as a small world. There are countless tiny dots that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Gazing carefully at the inside of this bead, Captain Cao thought of the scene of the difficult trek in this ghost desert during this time, and he was accompanied by the wind and sand almost every day. Once there is a wind in the desert blowing. It's like a tiny picture inside the bead. However, there is nothing too special about this bead in Captain Cao's feelings, there is not the slightest elemental power, it is just a relatively good-looking decoration. But this is also a windfall, even if it is just a good-looking decoration, after all, it is also cut from the king-level demonic beast, it is a good product with a price and no market, and it is good to put it in the home to fill the façade.

As soon as Captain Cao, who hadn't taken a bath for many days, returned to the green space, he couldn't wait to throw himself into the clear lake and swim freely. To Cao Tuanzhan's deep regret, Jessica refused the invitation of Head Cao to play in the water, making Head Cao's obscene dream of playing in the water come to naught. When Captain Cao was unconscious, Jessica had already taken a bath, which made Captain Cao sigh vigorously, if he woke up early, he might have seen the beauty of his dreams out of the bath.

Captain Cao plunged headlong into the water without believing in evil, searched in vain for a long time, but finally had to give up, and there seemed to be no living beings in this desert except for the Sphinx. The only supplies that Captain Cao could get from this green space were water and those astringent weeds, which was better than nothing.

After thinking about it for a long time, Captain Cao put the cleanly washed magic crystal on Jessica's hand. As for the bead, Regiment Leader Cao kept it by himself, which can be regarded as a souvenir of killing a king-level demonic beast by himself.

"Why do you want to give me such a valuable thing? How can I afford it? Do you have to give someone a piece of a rare magic crystal when you see every girl?" Jessica postponed, and there was a burst of jealousy between her words. She didn't expect that Head Cao would make a move. Even if Jessica helped Captain Cao in that battle, it was nothing. Judging from the final result, even Captain Cao himself should be able to do it, but Jessica reminded him.

As a priest, Jessica certainly knew how rare the magic crystals of king-level demonic beasts were. When this thing is in hand, it is definitely not just a matter of improving her strength a little, Jessica will even benefit for life. However, Jessica also knows the value of this magic crystal, and it is not enough to describe it as valuable, and it is absolutely impossible for her to accept it gladly.

Jessica is also a careful girl, she has also seen the octagonal green magic crystal on Luo Han's neck, according to her private inquiry, Luo Han's lord-level magic crystal was also given by Captain Cao. Before that, Jessica had also heard about the Tears of the Stars, a gift from Captain Cao to his mentor. This matter was spread in the temple of Bimon, and almost all the priests of the Bimon Empire had heard about it. This is also a coincidence, in Jessica's eyes, but it is not as simple as a coincidence. Luo Han Nanzi, even a blind person can feel that she has already secretly promised Captain Cao. And Captain Cao's mentor, Maria Kelly, is also a well-known beauty in the Temple of Beamon, and she is gentle and demure, and the key person is not married. Even if it is a master-apprentice relationship with Captain Cao, a woman's mind will always be easy to think about it. Jessica says this for these reasons.

"Take it, it's of no use to me in the first place. "Captain Cao's rough nerves didn't feel it, and his face was full of indifference, as if the magic crystal of this king-level demonic beast was not worth anything to him.

Sect Leader Cao does have such confidence, his Divine Comedy aura is driven by his own true qi, and he rarely encounters when the elemental power is not enough, and in terms of cultivation, he can't count on this magic crystal. For Captain Cao, the magic crystal is just a concept of whether it is worth anything, the magic crystal of the king-level demonic beast, even if Captain Cao wants to sell it, no one in the entire Beamon Empire can afford it, so it is better to give it to Jessica as a gift.
