Family Rise: Start with Daily Intelligence

White Tiger Tribe.

In the secret room of the chief's mansion, Chief Bai, who was sitting cross-legged, heard a rapid buzzing sound from his waist. He lowered his head and saw that it was a message from the Tianyin tribe. A spell was cast into it, and with a buzzing sound, after listening to the content of the message.

Chief Bai was obviously stunned:

"this"

The thunder disaster that struck the Osprey Tribe several years ago.

It turned out that it was not caused by Chief Osprey's breakthrough to the Golden Core, but a world-destroying thunder catastrophe? !

The Osprey Tribe is gone?!

Chief White didn't respond for a long time.

When he saw the thunder tribulation, he thought that Chief Osprey had successfully passed the tribulation and became a Golden Core True Person, so he closed himself off in the mountains to recuperate, and that was why he cut off contact with the outside world. However, he never expected that the Osprey Tribe had been destroyed at the hands of the Fu Family.

After calming down.

Chief White immediately convened the Council of Elders.

When the conscription order for the Tianyin tribe was mentioned, the elders present suddenly began to discuss:

"Chief, since the Fu family can destroy the Osprey Tribe, it would be wrong for us to attack them rashly."

Isn't this just asking for death?

In the small world of Kunlun.

Although they made some gains, many Zifu also died. If there is another storm, the clan may be in danger in the future.

Chief White knocked on the table and said:

"According to the information from the Tianyin tribe, there is only one Purple Mansion Early Stage guarding Yinan Mountain. The head of the Fu family is currently in Wanning Market in Huainan Prefecture. In addition, this time we will not only contribute to the attack on Yinan Mountain, but the Tianlang tribe will also send three Purple Mansions. The fifth and seventh elders of the Tianyin tribe are in charge of the main formation."

"Tianyin Tribe Promise"

"After conquering Yinan Mountain, they took 50% of the treasures in the warehouse, but the third-grade top-grade spiritual vein in Yinan Mountain was divided equally between us and the Tianlang Tribe. In the future, we can use Yinan Mountain as a base to drive out the several families that have taken root in the Great Zhou from the East Wilderness and regain our territory."

These conditions seem favorable.

But they are all good-looking but useless.

The Fu family had occupied Yinan Mountain not long ago, and the most valuable things there were the spiritual fields. However, due to the lack of years, the spiritual flowers and herbs cultivated there were definitely not yet mature.

The Fu family is not stupid.

Yinan Mountain is not their base camp, so how could there be any treasures placed in the warehouse?

So he looked around and saw that no one was willing to fight, so he whispered:

"Chief, if we send troops to attack the Fu family, will the Luo family use this as an excuse to destroy us like they did to the Golden Toad Tribe? I think we should think twice about this."

The risks outweigh the benefits.

Chief Bai knew this, so he sighed:

"We are a subordinate force of the Tianyin Tribe. Since the higher-ups have issued a conscription order, we can only obey orders. Instead of complaining, why not think about who is more suitable to send?"

Sirius tribe.

The purple palaces on the left and right sides of the council hall suddenly became as lively as a hornet's nest because of the message from Chief Sirius.

Wait until everyone has finished talking.

Chief Tianlang raised his hand and said calmly:

"Since the war order does not specify what kind of Purple Mansion Stage combat power is needed, in my opinion, the focus of this expedition to Yinan Mountain is participation, so the first three elders who have practiced the secret art of escape are the first to go to the battlefield. What do you think?"

It's not about fighting for your life.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They all looked at the three Sirius heroes on the left. They practiced a combined technique, and after combining, their combat power was comparable to that of the peak of Purple Mansion. If they couldn't win, they could use secret techniques to escape. The three of them were the most suitable.

A few days later.

In a peach forest fifty miles away from Yinan Mountain.

The seventh elder of Tianyin raised his head and glanced at Shichen, frowning slightly:

"Fifth brother, the agreed time has almost come, but the Heavenly Wolf and White Tiger tribes have not shown up yet. They really don't take us seriously."

They are a subordinate tribe, yet they have to wait here in advance.

It's outrageous!

The fifth elder was quite calm.

After a while.

But then they saw breezes blowing from the east and west, and then six people fell into the peach forest one after another.

The seventh elder of Tianyin took a quick look with his spiritual sense and frowned.

Of the three people sent by the Sirius Tribe, only one was in the late Purple Mansion stage, and the rest were in the middle Purple Mansion stage. The same was true for the White Tiger Tribe. The two major tribes seemed to have discussed it beforehand and obviously did not want to contribute. The Seventh Elder snorted coldly.

At this time, the fifth elder also opened his eyes from his meditation and saw the six people gathered. He waved his sleeves and a scroll suddenly floated in the air. The scroll opened and it was the topography of Yinan Mountain. He cast a spell into it and a white light shield suddenly rose from the topographic map. The fifth elder said:

"There is only one Purple Mansion of the Fu family in Yinan Mountain, but their protective formation in the mountain is running at full speed. If we attack by force, it is inevitable that someone will be injured. I have a plan. When we reach Yinan Mountain, the six of you will attack the Tianqian position of the formation together. This is where the Yin and Yang formation is adjusted. Under the brute force attack, it will inevitably become unstable. At that time, Old Seven and I will take the opportunity to open the life gate. In this way, we can successfully attack Yinan Mountain."

It doesn't sound like a big threat.

The other six people bowed and said:

"We will obey the orders of the Fifth Elder in everything."

Obviously, the five elders of Tianyin have not been idle during the past few years in Yinan Mountain, but have studied the Fu family's mountain protection formation thoroughly. No wonder the other party did not emphasize the combat power of Zifu when issuing the order to fight. In the eyes of the five elders, it is nothing more than the use of the two major tribes when breaking the formation.

The five elders are confident of victory.

At the command.

The eight people rushed towards Yinan Mountain at an extremely fast speed.

Yinanshan Council Hall.

Ouyang Fei smiled and said to Fu Yongyi who had just come out of confinement:

"Not bad, not bad. Brother Yi, you have successfully broken through to the Purple Palace at such a young age. You can expect to achieve Golden Elixir in the future!"

"Uncle Fei, you are too kind."

Fu Yongyi came out of retreat this time, originally intending to report the good news to Fu Changsheng, but was told that the other party had already left Yinan Mountain. Fu Yongyi bowed and said:

"Uncle Fei, my nephew has been in the East Desert for more than ten years. Since there is nothing to do in Yinan Mountain, I want to go back to Yunshan County. Qingru sent a message saying that my son will get married on the fifteenth of this month, so as a father, I have to go back."

Ouyang Fei was a little hesitant.

After all, the Seventh Elder and the Fifth Elder of Tianyin are waiting outside the mountain.

However, thinking of the message from Fu Changsheng saying that he had sent Yaoyao to lead the troops, and that they should be here soon according to the time, he immediately said with a smile:

"Marriage is a major event in life. You should go back."

Speaking of.

Slap the storage bag.

A box with a white background and plum pattern floated towards Fu Changsheng:

"This is a gift for my nephew and grandson. Please pass it on for me."

The two talked for a while.

When Ouyang Fei stood up to see Fu Yongyi out, he suddenly heard a rapid buzzing sound from his waist, and a spell was cast, and an anxious voice came out from inside:

"Elder Ouyang, it's bad. The two elders from Tianyin are leading six Purple Mansions from the White Tiger Tribe and the Heavenly Wolf Tribe to charge over!"

What?!

Ouyang Fei's face changed.

He said there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

When we discovered those two old guys from the Tianyin tribe, we should have sent troops to kill them directly.

Now, eight Purple Palaces came at once:

"Brother Yi, hurry to the exit, quick!"

That’s all.

Ouyang Fei's body flashed several times, and in a flash he arrived at the center of the Tian Qian formation, which was the key to breaking the formation. At the same time, he slapped the storage bag, a rosy light flashed, and a communication jade talisman fell on his palm. A spell was cast, and the communication jade talisman buzzed and lit up with a spiritual light. After saying a few words quickly.

The next moment.

A sweep of spiritual consciousness.

But I saw six purple palaces hovering above Tianqian:

"Damn it, little bear, kill them!"

The combined force of six people was something he couldn't resist at all.

As soon as the words fell.

But then an angry roar came from the back mountain.

Immediately following.

A huge monster rushed out with a roar, and the icy air spread out, turning everything into ice and frost wherever it passed.

at the same time.

The sky above the Tiangan position.

Tianlang, Baihu and the other six looked at each other, and they made hand gestures. The six magical powers gathered together, and with a bang, they turned into a sky-high stick with a diameter of dozens of feet, and went straight to the Tianqian position. Rumbling, at this time the light shield of the formation surged, and a goshawk appeared, fearless of death, and went up against the wind, waving its claws and colliding with the sky-high stick.

"boom!"

Sparks flying.

A powerful gust of wind swept over, shattering the surrounding rocks.

“Chiu!”

Although the goshawk was fearless, it could only resist the combined attack of six people for a moment. The next moment, with a loud bang, it instantly collapsed accompanied by an unwilling scream.

The power of Tongtian Stick remains unabated.

It continued to bombard the Tianqian position at an extremely fast speed.

Boom!

The Tongtian Stick hit the light shield.

The light shield vibrated violently.

There are faint signs of cracks.

"Seal it for me!"

Ouyang Fei shouted loudly and poured his magic power into the formation.

boom!

A bright beam of light shot up into the sky, transforming into shields guarding the sky above the Tiangan position. He knew that once the Tiangan position was breached, the entire Yinan Mountain's protective array would fall into chaos, and the Fu family would no longer have a barrier to defend.

Click, click!

Shields were broken one after another.

It seemed that the Tongtian Stick was about to fall on the Tianqian position.

A critical moment.

"roar"

The ice bear rushed out from the back mountain and arrived in time. It was emitting a cold breath, and a thick layer of frost formed on the ground with every step it took. The ice bear roared, slapped its palms fiercely, and two huge ice walls rushed towards the Tongtian Stick.

"boom!"

The ice wall collided with the Tongtian Stick again, ice chips flew everywhere, and magic power overflowed. The ice bear's attack caused the six people in the air to step back several steps due to the powerful recoil force, with disbelief on their faces:

"This is."

The third-level pinnacle spiritual pet!

The six people were shocked. They didn't expect that the Fu family had hidden such a powerful fighting force in Yinan Mountain.

The three heroes of Tianlang narrowed their eyes slightly:

"Everyone, the Fu family can't stay!"

Now it is not a question of how much benefit there is, but if the Fu family is allowed to develop in Yinan Mountain, then their Tianlang Tribe and Baihu Tribe will soon follow the same fate as the Osprey Tribe.

They have to take advantage of Fu Changsheng's absence.

Let’s clip the wings of the Fu family first!

also.

The third-level peak ice bear is also full of treasures!

The six of them did not hold back any longer, and they all made hand gestures, and their magic power poured into the Tongtian Stick. With a rumbling hum, the light of the Tongtian Stick became brighter and brighter, and it was more than three times thicker than before.

at the same time.

Smashed down hard towards the Tiangan position.

"roar!"

The power is almost as strong as the strongest attack of the fake Dan monk.

The Ice Bear's eyes were full of fear. He quickly opened his mouth and the demon pill broke out of his body, accompanied by white light surging above the demon pill.

A pillar of ice nearly a hundred feet high shot up into the sky, heading towards the Tongtian Stick.

Bang bang bang!

The two forces collided.

Sparks flying.

The icicle and the stick broke into pieces.

A huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

at the same time.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the Heavenly Stems, the Fifth and Seventh Elders of Tianyin have arrived at the formation's origin. They quickly formed seals with their hands, and obscure runes flew out from their hands and attacked the protective magic circle of the gate of life. The magic circle at the life gate flickered and made a "sizzling" sound, as if it was trying its best to resist the attacks of the two people.

"Old man, stop being so presumptuous!"

Fu Yongyi, who arrived in time, saw this, his pupils shrank, and he quickly formed seals with his hands. A purple light shot out from his hands and attacked the fifth and seventh elders.

"Humph, a mere early Purple Mansion cultivator dares to stop us. Fifth brother, you use your heart to break the formation, and I will deal with this kid."

The Seventh Elder of Tianyin did not expect that the Fu family actually had a hidden Purple Mansion cultivator. However, seeing that the other party was only in the early Purple Mansion stage, he did not take him seriously at all. He snorted coldly and waved his hands, and a golden shield appeared in front of him.

With a ding sound!

He easily blocked Fu Yongyi's attack.

At the same time, both hands seal again:

"Boy, there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you insist on breaking in, prepare to die!"

That’s all.

A black flame swept towards Fu Yongyi.

Wherever the flames pass.

The surrounding space actually made a sizzling sound as if it was burning:

"Strange fire!"

Fu Yongyi was frightened.

The power of strange fire.

He had seen it in his own father.

He knew that he was no match for his opponent, but he could not retreat, because behind him was the Fu family's life gate. Once the life gate was broken, the Fu family would be finished.

He immediately gritted his teeth.

A chapter hit his chest, and a ball of blood spurted out. As he pinched the magic spell, the blood turned into a blood mist and fell to the ground with a bang.

at the same time.

Boom!

The ground shook.

However, huge rocks were seen standing in the ground. Under the cover of blood mist, runes were faintly flashing, and in an instant they turned into a blood wall dozens of feet high blocking the door to life.

"boom!"

Black flames fell on the blood wall.

The blood wall made a sizzling sound, and the blood runes on it were constantly burning.

The Seventh Elder of Tianyin snorted coldly:

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot is overestimating one's own abilities!"

At that moment, he thought about it, and with a bang, he saw a steady stream of black flames falling on the blood wall. The blood wall resisted for a moment, and then collapsed with a bang.

Suffer backlash.

Fu Yongyi immediately groaned and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

at this time.

The Bagua formation plate in the hands of the fifth elder of Tianyin was already glowing with a brilliant light, which fell on the gate of life with a bang.

The next moment!

Click, click.

However, the light shield of the formation covering the Yinan Mountain suddenly collapsed.

The formation is broken!

The seventh elder of Tianyin immediately laughed grimly.

Shout:

"Kill, except Fu Yongxuan, leave no one in the Fu family alive!"

Speaking of.

Rushed in first.

Right at this moment.

His expression changed, and he looked down, only to see a strange vine suddenly burst out from the ground. Before he could react, the vine pierced through his abdomen. The next moment, the originally complacent Tianyin Seventh Elder was instantly sucked into a skeleton. The skeleton trembled slightly, and turned into a pile of white ash and dissipated.

A sudden scene.

Let everyone be stunned for a moment:

"Seventh Brother!"

The fifth elder of Tianyin let out a mournful howl, and the Bagua formation plate in his hand shot towards the skeleton demon vine at lightning speed.

boom!

Right at this moment.

A water cage dropped from the sky.

The Bagua formation plate was blown away by the water wall and rolled back.

The pupils of the fifth elder of Tianyin shrank.

However, he saw a black water beast rising into the sky not far from his side, accompanied by a roar, the water cage trembled slightly, and a swishing sound was heard, and instantly arrows shot out from it, densely shooting towards the five Tianyin elders trapped inside:

“Damn it!”

The fifth elder of Tianyin could no longer remain calm.

The rolling magic power was injected into the Bagua array, and an Bagua seal was suspended in front of it, clanging and blocking the arrows that were shot out:

"withdraw!"

At this moment, he had no intention of fighting again.

Out of the corner of his eye, he also caught a glimpse of a late-stage third-order flying-feathered beast, two third-order corpse puppets, a female cultivator from the Purple Mansion, a peak-stage third-order ice bear, and two other Purple Mansion cultivators from the Fu family. The six people from the Heavenly Wolf Tribe and the White Tiger Tribe were surrounded, and the Tiangan battlefield was defeated!

Wait until they pull their hands away.

The next person to be dealt with is him:

"Fu family, just wait for me!"

The fifth elder of Tianyin gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, and the small teleportation talisman in his hand was crushed in an instant.

However.

Right at this moment.

But then the black water beast's demon pill shot out.

A misty aura condensed and enveloped the five Tianyin elders, blocking the power of transmission:

“Damn it!”

The fifth elder was startled.

at the same time.

However, the skeleton vine that had disappeared before passed through his feet as fast as lightning.

boom!

In an instant.

The five elders of Tianyin were sucked dry.

On the other side, the three heroes of Tianlang caught a glimpse of the fifth and seventh elders of Tianyin who disappeared in a flash. Their pupils shrank, and the three of them looked at each other and quickly made hand gestures. They were covered in blood, and with a bang, they turned into a blood mist that filled the sky and fled in all directions.

However.

The next moment.

Bang bang bang!

All the blood lines rolled back, but Shi Yaoyao sacrificed the formation diagram the moment he arrived. Blood gathered, and the figures of the three heroes of Tianlang staggered out.

The six people gathered together again:

"Everyone, if we don't fight hard, we will all die here today!"

“Too late!”

Yaoyao rode the wind and came, casting a spell in mid-air. Then a formation diagram flashed, and then clouds rose below. The six people were instantly separated. The six people looked around and found that the surrounding environment had changed drastically. They were all in different areas:

"What a powerful illusion array!"

The thought just came to my mind.

It took less than ten breaths for the six of them to complete the task.

They were swarmed by all the members of the Fu family and were annihilated one by one.

The entire battle, from start to finish, took less than half an incense stick of time.

"Yaoyao, luckily you arrived in time!"

Ouyang Fei's face relaxed. If Yaoyao hadn't brought so many high-level fighters with him, Yinan Mountain would probably not be able to be defended today.

The spiritual fields and objects in Yinan Mountain that they had managed for decades were about to be handed over to others!

Yaoyao looked at the corpse on the ground, but she was a little worried:

"Grandpa Fei, let's clean up the battlefield first and restore the mountain protection formation."

The main force of the attack on Yinan Mountain was the Tianyin tribe. Both the Baihu and Tianlang tribes were recruited. The latter was fine, after all, it was just the Zifu tribe. But if they were really targeted by the Tianyin tribe, it would be troublesome, because the other side had the combat power of the Golden Core.

Ouyang Fei glanced around.

Whispered softly:

"Yaoyao, the people of the Tianyin tribe attacked Yinan Mountain, and their target seems to be Yongxuan."

He immediately repeated the words that the seventh elder of Tianyin shouted when the formation was broken, exactly as they had been.

Yaoyao was a little surprised when she heard this.

Yongxuan was born to his mother. After being brought back from Jingzhou, he has been raised in the master's mansion. He usually never goes out of the house. The first time he went out in all these years was to follow his father to Yinan Mountain. Logically, Yongxuan had no chance to come into contact with people from the outside world.

But why did the Tianyin tribe specifically demand to capture Yongxuan alive?

Yaoyao has doubts in her heart:

"Grandpa Fei, we need to inform father about this as soon as possible."

Yongxuan must be hiding some secret.

But only my father knows:

"Also, Yongxuan cannot continue to stay in Yinan Mountain. The next time the Tianyin tribe attacks again, there will be more than just eight Purple Mansions. We must immediately send her back to Jingzhou and let my father make arrangements for her."

"Okay, then who will be responsible for escorting Yongxuan back?"

"While the people of the Tianyin tribe haven't reacted yet, we can let the Feiyu Beast lead them. With the speed of the Feiyu Beast, they can't catch up."

"Okay, I'll go inform Yongxuan right away."

After Fu Yongxuan returned from Osprey Mountain, he had been in seclusion, so Ouyang Fei quickly got to work.

Yaoyao no longer hesitated and began to repair the destroyed formation.

The other side.

Fu Yongyi also collected the storage bag of corpses on the ground.

"Gurgle gurgle"

at this time.

The Skeleton Demon Vine wrapped around the Three Heavenly Wolfs and wanted to continue devouring them, but was stopped by Fu Yongshou:

"Little Skeleton, don't eat them. These are top-quality corpse puppet materials. You've already swallowed two. Leave these six to me. I'll save some good ones for you next time."

This time, Yaoyao also brought two third-level corpse puppets from the tribe. As the only third-level puppeteer in the tribe, Fu Yongshou naturally followed as well. With his quick hands and feet, he had already collected the three corpses of the White Tiger Tribe.

“Gurgle gurgle!”

The Skeleton Demon Vine exerted its strength violently.

He broke free from Fu Yongshou directly.

The vines penetrated directly into the bodies of the three Sirians and devoured them clean in the blink of an eye.

“What a waste of natural resources!”

Fu Yongshou felt so distressed. With such good materials, if they were carefully refined and cultivated for more than ten years, they would become three third-level fighters. It was such a pity.

Fu Yongyi smiled and patted his shoulder, comforting him:

"Brother Shou, Yinan Mountain is in need of high-level combat power right now. The Skeleton Demon Vine may be able to break through to the peak of the third level after refining these three corpses."

If that is true.

Count the Ice Bear.

Yinan Mountain is protected by two Purple Mansion's top combat powers.

If it weren’t for Jindan coming.

Otherwise, no one can break through the mountain gate.

While talking.

Buzz!

However, the Skeleton Demon Vine emitted a terrifying aura, and the original vine roots actually grew new forks:

"This is."

Fu Yongyi turned his head and glanced at the ice bear lying beside him. The aura exuded by the skeleton demon vine was exactly the same as that of the ice bear. This skeleton demon vine really broke through to the peak of the third level. Fu Yongyi was a little dumbfounded:

"The transformation ability of this demon vine is too incredible!"

but.

This is a good thing.

Yaoyao, who was repairing the broken array plate of Tiangan, turned to Fu Yongyi and said:

"Brother Shitou, please help me check if there is any Tianjing Stone in the storage bag of the Fifth Elder of Tianyin."

The fifth elder of Tianyin is a top-grade third-level formation master, and he is only one step away from the fourth level. Otherwise, he would not be able to break the formation easily.

Fu Yongyi responded.

The spiritual consciousness sank into the black storage bag with white patterns.

However, it was almost entirely filled with formation manuals and materials for setting up formations. In addition, there were hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones, and only a few thousand low-grade spirit stones. These mid-grade spirit stones were obviously used to set up formations:

"These spirit stones and formation materials arrived just in time."

After a while.

He then found the Tianjing stone from a box with a white background and wooden grain:

"Yaoyao, this is for you"

Fu Yongyi threw the Tianjing Stone to Yaoyao, and placed the collected mid-grade spirit stones in the grooves of various parts of the formation. By the way, he called Fu Yongshou over and asked him to help with the registration, while he counted the harvest.

Eight purple palace storage bags.

The total amount of spirit stones reached nearly one million!

This is a considerable income.

also.

They also found quite a few elixirs and herbs, almost all of which were third-level spiritual objects.

It is undoubtedly a great tonic for those in the clan who have just broken through to the Purple Mansion.

besides.

There is also the combined martial arts of the "Heavenly Wolf Mixed Origin Gong" practiced by the three heroes of the Heavenly Wolf, as well as the accompanying blood escape secret technique, the level of which is almost all above the fifth level of the mysterious level, which in a sense greatly enriched the family's collection:

"Hey, what is this?"

At the end.

They also found a piece of black iron. It looked ordinary, but it exuded a faint ancient aura.

Fu Yongyi hesitated for a moment, but did not move rashly. Instead, he quickly sealed it in a box and put it into the warehouse.

This battle.

In terms of imperial merit points alone, they seized more than 10,000.

Not to mention there are millions of spirit stones and many other spiritual objects.

Fu Yongshou felt the generous benefits brought by the war for the first time, and looked towards the direction of the White Tiger Tribe with some excitement:

"Brother Shitou, if we can flatten White Tiger Mountain and Heavenly Wolf Mountain, then our Fu family's strength will rise sharply!"

“The greater the benefit, the greater the risk”

Fu Yongyi, however, hopes to be down-to-earth.

Who would want to be in the midst of a war when they can live in peace?

Speaking of.

But then a strange wind rose up into the sky from the back mountain, and the flying-feathered beast carrying Fu Yongxuan left Yinan Mountain at a very fast speed and returned to Da Zhou.

In a hidden cave in the distance, a figure quickly recorded this scene with a photo pod.

White Tiger Tribe.

Chief Bai slammed his palm on Guixiang's table and said in a muffled voice:

"The little boy from the Fu family has great abilities!"

It seems that there is only one Zifu left in Yinan Mountain.

In fact, he had deployed a lot of combat forces, and there was also a third-level peak ice bear.

unconsciously.

Under their noses, the Fu family had grown into a behemoth on par with them. If they continued to allow them to develop, wouldn't they soon follow in the footsteps of the Yinan tribe?

"Second Elder, send a message to the Tianlang Tribe immediately and ask them to meet at Qiyun Mountain!"

at this time.

If the two tribes don't unite, I'm afraid they will soon be swallowed up by the Fu family without leaving a single bone!
