After reading this long list of descriptions, even with Cao Xing's composure, he couldn't help but feel incredibly excited at this moment, his breathing even becoming a bit rapid!

There were simply too many items! And every single one of them was terrifyingly valuable.

From meat to viscera, to bones, and even blood.

Every single item was calculated in the tens of thousands of kilograms!

Moreover, because these were materials from a Legendary creature, the effects of each were extremely powerful.

Even that large hide, which was over 20,000 square meters, could be made into hundreds of sets of Epic leather armor!

Plus those hundreds of thousands of kilograms of bones, which could also be used to forge dozens of sets of Epic light armor!

"It's truly terrifying—the harvest from dismantling this one Legendary Giant Rhinoceros is just too huge."

Cao Xing took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and began to analyze them one by one.

First of all, the most abundant loot here was undoubtedly the 1.12 million kilograms of Legendary Giant Rhinoceros Meat.

Just one bite could increase strength by 2,000, constitution by 1,000, plus a 10% increase in physical attack power!

How terrifying of an improvement this was went without saying.

Even the system noted that one needed to be at least Tier 4 to consume it, otherwise there would be a risk of exploding.

Clearly, this Legendary Giant Rhinoceros Meat was several times stronger than the Lizard Overlord meat.

If it appeared on the market, it would definitely cause a huge sensation!

Moreover, this meat could be divided into ten portions for sale.

In other words, this more than one million kilograms of Legendary Giant Rhinoceros Meat could allow over ten million people to increase their attributes!

Cao Xing couldn't help but exclaim: "It's truly exaggerated—if this were taken to the market for trade, I'm afraid I could instantly trade for the resources to build the Giant City, right?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Besides the 'Legendary Giant Rhinoceros Meat', there were also the 'Legendary Giant Rhinoceros Skeleton' and 'Legendary Giant Rhinoceros Heavy Hooves'.

Both of these were Legendary-grade materials that could be batch-produced into Epic-quality light armor and large-scale war equipment.

Additionally, the nearly 200,000 kilograms of 'Icefield Giant Rhinoceros Viscera' were also rare, high-tier alchemy materials.

Just these four materials alone had a value that far exceeded imagination.

However, this was only a part of the Giant Rhinoceros.

It had three even more precious materials.

The Legendary Giant Rhinoceros Thick Hide, the Legendary Giant Rhinoceros Frost Horn, and the Legendary Giant Rhinoceros Blood.

These three items could all be used to craft Legendary-grade equipment or refine Legendary potions!

It could be said that the combined value of the seven materials from this Giant Rhinoceros was immeasurable.

"Huu."

Cao Xing took a deep breath, calming the excitement in his heart.

Then, he stared at the pile of [Legendary Giant Rhinoceros Meat] on the ground and muttered to himself, "It's been a while since the last large-scale trade."

"The Survivors across the four major zones already have quite a few good things in their hands."

"Since I've obtained so much beast meat this time, I can conduct a wave of large-scale trading."

"Not only can I collect the good things in their hands, but I can also conveniently gather the materials to build the Giant City."

He paused and continued, "However, before that, I must send these materials to Harold and Francesca."

"Let's see what other auxiliary materials are needed besides these main materials."

After all, the birth of a piece of Legendary equipment didn't just rely on the main materials.

It also required a large amount of precious auxiliary materials to be added to be completely crafted.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing waved his hand, and all the items on the ground were collected into his backpack.

In an instant, the few small mounds in front of him disappeared.

Zevelin, standing to the side, saw this scene, and envy and curiosity appeared in his eyes once again.

Having lived for several hundred years, this was the first time he had seen a Legendary Giant Rhinoceros being hunted and then dismantled so cleanly.

He felt extremely curious about what magical effects the materials from such a powerful Legendary creature could have!

However, Cao Xing ignored him.

He turned around directly, preparing to head to the blacksmith shop.

Just at this moment—

Cao Xing's peripheral vision suddenly noticed an extra special item on the ground.

That item had appeared abruptly on the open space, looking as if it had been pressed down by the dismantled giant rhinoceros meat.

When Cao Xing collected all the giant rhinoceros meat into his backpack, this item was finally revealed.

"Huh? Could it be that there was something else on this giant rhinoceros?"

With a bit of doubt, Cao Xing turned around and walked toward that open space.

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

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

Complex and ancient patterns were carved on the edge of the talisman stone.

And in the center area of the talisman stone, a bull pattern was carved.

"What is this thing?"

A strange look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

Then he reached out and picked up this strange talisman stone.

[Obtained: Corrupted Twelve Sacred Beast Talisman Stone (Ox)]

"Huh? Twelve Sacred Beast Talisman Stone, and it's corrupted?"

Seeing the information about this item, Cao Xing felt even more curious.

He couldn't wait to check the item information.

[Corrupted Twelve Sacred Beast Talisman Stone (Ox)]

[Quality: Unknown]

[Item Effect ①: Grant this rune to a creature with Ox-clan bloodline to make it gain the 'Infinite Strength' effect, increasing base strength by 300% (The talisman stone has been corrupted and cannot take effect)]

[Item Effect ②: Collect all twelve Sacred Beast Talisman Stones and purify them to travel to the 'Realm of Eternal Life' and resurrect '???'.]

(Note: This talisman stone was one of the twelve talisman stones left behind by '???' before death. These twelve talisman stones were bestowed upon twelve creatures respectively: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Chicken, Dog, Pig… These twelve creatures became the Twelve Sacred Beasts. '???' bestowed powerful strength upon them, waiting for a certain day in the future when the Twelve Sacred Beasts would gather to resurrect him again. However, due to unknown reasons, these talisman stones were contaminated by some unknown power, and the Twelve Sacred Beasts also became violent, irritable, and lost their sanity. The time for '???' to be resurrected has also been infinitely extended.)

Seeing the long string of information about this thing, Cao Xing was stunned.

A moment later, he said in shock, "My god—it seems I've gotten something incredible this time!"

"The Twelve Sacred Beast Talisman Stones! Once collected, they can even resurrect a mysterious existence!"

He didn't know how strong this mysterious existence was, but even on the system's introduction, there was a long string of question marks.

There was only one possibility for this situation.

That was that the strength of this existence was too terrifying!

It is far beyond what Cao Xing can pry into right now.

Only when his strength continues to improve will the system description reveal the other party's name.

"Interesting."

A smile of interest appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.

He currently had no intention of resurrecting this person; after all, resurrecting someone without even knowing who they are is just courting death.

Of course, setting that effect aside.

This "Cow Rune Stone" is also extremely powerful!

Being able to increase the strength of creatures with the bovine bloodline by 300% is an incredibly terrifying boost.

And in Cao Xing's territory, currently only those Cloud Yaks and dairy cows possess the bovine bloodline.

"Could it be that I need to raise a combat-type Cloud Yak?"

Cao Xing thought to himself in a low voice.

But a moment later, he realized something. "No, when I just killed this Legendary Giant Rhinoceros, a Minotaur Chieftain Recruitment Scroll also dropped."

"I can totally give this Rune Stone to him!"

Don't say that Minotaurs aren't cows; after all, even the rhinoceros they killed was a Sacred Beast of the bovine clan!

And this also brought an idea to Cao Xing's mind.

"Looking at it this way, besides this Legendary Giant Rhinoceros—the cow—carrying the 'Cow Rune Stone'…"

"There should be eleven other creatures that also carry Rune Stones of different races."

"The effects of these Rune Stones are likely very powerful, not inferior to the Cow Rune Stone."

"Including the creatures that possess the corresponding Rune Stones, their strength shouldn't be weak either, likely at least Legendary level."

"If I could find all these frenzied Sacred Beasts and kill them all!"

"Not only would I obtain the other eleven Rune Stones, but I could also harvest a large amount of Legendary materials!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing felt a bit excited.

Of course, wanting to find the other eleven Sacred Beasts is still very difficult.

At least for now, there is no clue.

Even this rhinoceros was only released because Bing Lan accidentally broke its seal, allowing it to escape.

Moreover, before that, I still need to find a way to purify this [Cow Rune Stone].

Being unable to use such a powerful item is also quite a significant loss.

Therefore, Cao Xing turned his gaze to Isabelle in the crowd and asked, "Isabelle, this Cow Rune Stone seems to have been polluted by some kind of power."

"See if you have a way to purify it?"

As a Saint Light Sage, she masters extremely powerful holy power and can be said to be the nemesis of many evil and dark forces.

Especially after becoming a Legendary powerhouse, she can use her own "Divine Power" to purify some curses and dark auras.

Of course, the origin of this [Cow Rune Stone] is extraordinary, and the difficulty of purifying it can be said to be very high.

Even for a Legendary Saint Light Sage, there isn't necessarily a 100% chance of success.

Isabelle held her staff in one hand and walked gracefully to Cao Xing's side, like a goddess of light.

She took the [Cow Rune Stone] and examined it carefully.

Then she released a gentle holy power from her fingertips, which landed on the surface of the Rune Stone.

"Whoosh!"

A series of faint sounds came, and faint black smoke rose from the surface of the Rune Stone, as if it were resisting this holy power.

A moment later, Isabelle looked up and said calmly, "This thing has indeed been polluted by some kind of evil power."

"And it looks like the level of this power is very high, perhaps even coming from some Evil God—"

Evil God.

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing frowned slightly and asked, "Are you confident?"

The Saint Light Sage did not answer immediately, but continued to release holy power to try.

After a while, she said slowly, "It should be possible to purify, but it will take some time and consume quite a bit of Divine Power."

Hearing this, a flash of joy crossed Cao Xing's eyes.

He hadn't held much hope initially.

But Isabelle actually said it was possible!

Looking at it this way, his Saint Light Sage is truly very strong!

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's face as he said, "Divine Power is not an issue; tell me how much you need, and I will replenish it for you first."

Isabelle closed her eyes slightly, calculated in her mind, and then replied, "According to estimates, to completely purify the power on this Rune Stone, it will take at least seven days."

"During this period, I need to consume 1 point of Divine Power every hour or so to continue purifying the dark power on it."

"In other words, it consumes about 20 points of Divine Power a day."

"I can recover 4 points of Divine Power every day, and adding what I have already recovered, I still need about 110 points of Divine Power."

Hearing this number, Cao Xing quickly calculated in his mind.

110 points of Divine Power, which is 11 Divine Power Shards.

It sounds a bit expensive.

But by comparison, 11 Divine Power Shards in exchange for such a powerful [Cow Rune Stone] is still very cost-effective!

He said without hesitation, "No problem, I will replenish your Divine Power right now."

After speaking, Cao Xing took out 11 glowing shards from his backpack and clicked 'Use'.

"Hum—"

The Divine Power Shards turned into points of light and landed on Isabelle.

After the Divine Power value was replenished, Cao Xing said, "Then I will leave the matter of purifying this 'Cow Rune Stone' to you."

Isabelle replied solemnly, "Yes, I will definitely complete the task!"

Cao Xing nodded and looked at the other Legendary powerhouses on the field, saying, "Everyone, thank you for your hard work tonight."

"Now everyone go back and rest."

The group responded one after another and then turned to leave.

Soon, only he was left here.

"Alright, now I need to go and hand these Legendary materials to Harold and Francesca!"

Cao Xing dusted himself off and headed straight for the blacksmith shop.

Although it was already eleven o'clock at night, Harold should still be there.

Sure enough, as he arrived at the blacksmith shop and pushed open the door.

Several furnaces inside were still emitting firelight.

A dwarf blacksmith was standing by the forging table, focusing intently on hammering a short spear over a meter long.

"Clang! Clang!"

The heavy hammering sound was incessant, and the short spear was gradually changing shape under his forging.

What Harold was forging now was the other tusk decomposed from the Boar King.

Cao Xing walked to his side and asked, "Harold, haven't you rested yet so late?"

Hearing the lord's voice, the dwarf blacksmith quickly put down the tools in his hands, turned around, and said respectfully, "Lord, this tusk will be finished soon."

"I want to finish forging this weapon before going to rest; it shouldn't take long."

Cao Xing nodded; he also knew that this blacksmith had always been very diligent.

"Harold, come here for a moment; I have some things to give you."

"The space here is relatively small, so it might be hard to spread out."

After speaking, Cao Xing turned and walked towards an empty area inside the blacksmith shop.

The dwarf blacksmith had a look of confusion in his eyes.

But he didn't ask much and followed silently behind Cao Xing.

When the two arrived at the open area.

Cao Xing first took out four huge rhinoceros hooves from his backpack, and then took out a large pile of Legendary Giant Rhinoceros bones.

Those materials piled up into a small hill again, and at all times emitted a ferocious, terrifying aura.

Seeing these huge materials, Harold felt a moment of bewilderment.

Until he took a deep breath and gradually recovered from the shock.

"God of Forging above! The aura on these materials has already far exceeded the materials from the Lizard Overlord!"

Harold's eyes were filled with shock.

After all, until now, except for a few scales of the Ancient Dragon, the highest-level materials he had come into contact with were those dropped by the Lizard Overlord.

Yet, the pile of materials in front of him was countless times more terrifying than the Lizard Overlord's batch!

Then, he seemed to realize something and looked at Cao Xing with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

"Lord, could these be materials from a Legendary creature?"

Cao Xing had a slight smile on his face and nodded, "That's right."

After receiving his confirmation, Harold's breath hitched again!

"My god! There are so many Legendary materials; this is truly incredible!"
