Chapter 140: Chapter 140
Digging out this sphere, Du You was about to inspect it when he suddenly felt dizzy.
"Not good, I am running out of oxygen. I must leave as soon as possible." With no time to think, Du You pocketed the sphere quickly and walked into the stone chamber. He found the Dark Element Stone and packed it up too.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw the shattered body of Karl. There seemed to be something on it. With no time to think further, Du You whisked up Karl’s corpse too. Now, his personal space was filled to capacity.
With no time to ponder, Du You turned and ran out. Through the narrow path, after a long run, Du You finally found it easier to breathe. Stopping to take several deep breaths, Du You felt his heart pounding.
"Finally out, I can’t stay inside any longer. I’d better leave quickly."
The pressure inside is too much. Now that he had what he wanted, he’d better leave quickly.
As for the toxins inside, Du You was too lazy to research. His own Mucus Swamp can last for an hour, and it can produce a lot of toxins, the spread can be even larger, but the persistence time is only a few seconds. If his target doesn’t get poisoned within this duration, then it’s useless. Yet, in this sealed environment, after such a long time, the poison still hadn’t dissipated.
Du You walked out the way he came in. It took three days to get inside, but only six hours to get out. When he emerged, it was noon, and the sun was shining brightly.
The sunlight was a little dazzling, giving Du You a feeling as if he was in a previous life.
He found a spot and sat down, preparing to have a good meal. He hadn’t eaten well in the cave these past few days.
Although the surroundings were desolate, there were many wild animals in the nearby forest. Du You easily caught a small deer and turned it into grilled meat. After finishing his meal, Du You started inspecting his loot.
Xiaozi was by his side. Du You sat down next to Xiaozi and took out a black sphere. Just as the black sphere appeared, Xiaozi quivered, apparently very uncomfortable.
Dried Corpse Heart: The core of the Dried Corpse Giant Monster, a unique natural product. Using the Dried Corpse Heart, dark creatures can be modified to enhance their power and transform them into Death Attribute. (White, non-equipable)
"The ability to transform dark creatures into those with death attributes, I don’t know how much it can enhance, but it can enhance somewhat for sure. I am a Dark Shaper, all my pets are of dark attribute, adding a special one seems to be okay. If it really works, there may be unexpected gains."
Thinking so, Du You began to transform this Dried Corpse Heart. To Du You’s surprise, this Dried Corpse Heart actually cost him over hundred white crystal coins for a successful transformation.
After spending over a hundred white crystal coins, the Dried Corpse Heart had finally eliminated the "non-equipable" label. Although it’s not equipment, it’s a special material that he could take out.
Du You had already decided to use the Dried Corpse Heart for strengthening the next special summoned creature. "What I’m lacking right now is a meat shield pet. Hence, the next one must be incredibly tough."
Having settled the Dried Corpse Heart, Du You proceeded to check other things. The corpse of Karl that was discarded by Du You came out, and Du You picked and chose from the items on it, and in the end, only a notebook and a broken Magic Staff remained.
This Magic Staff was of no use to him, nor did it have any special effects. After a glance, Du You casually discarded it.
The notebook isn’t a magic book. He’d read it later.
Right now, it was time to review his haul.
Temporary Task: Shadow of the Undead Mage, completed.
With the task completed, he received a treasure chest. Also, there were two light balls left behind by the Undead Mage and the monster. It seemed that these unique beings leave a light ball behind when they die. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩
First was the light ball of the mage. Upon opening it, the White Crystal Coins were mostly there as usual. Then, there was something like a handkerchief, which recorded many special magical symbols.
Karl’s Handkerchief: Skill book, create Dried Corpse. Learn how to use magic to create Dried Corpse.
Du You remembered the Dried Corpse miners, and the Dried Corpse Warriors, and the Dried Corpse Giant Monster later. Well, it seems this was the magic used. But, this magic doesn’t quite suit him.
He’s a Spellcaster, there’s no time to create Dried Corpse. He tested it; the cost of turning this magic into a spell was too great, the loss exceeding the gain, so Du You gave up directly.
"This kind of magic that can create an army in large quantities, as I remember, should be quite expensive. Maybe I can go to the auction to check."
Having put away Karl’s handkerchief, Du You opened the sphere left behind by the Dried Corpse Giant Monster.
In the sphere, as usual, there were White Crystal Coins, to which Du You was already immune. Next, was a scroll.
Summoning Scroll: Dried Corpse Giant Monster. Summon a Level 6 Dried Corpse Giant Monster to fight for you, persisting for one hour. (White)
"This is a good loot." Du You’s eyes lit up. This was a Level 6 Dried Corpse Monster. In fact, the strength of this thing was far more than Level 6, even an average Level 7 might not necessarily be a match for a Dried Corpse Giant Monster.
One hour duration, if it’s just for one battle, that’d be more than enough. After carefully putting away the scroll, Du You focused his attention on the last remaining treasure chest.
The white crystal coins continued to pile up, and Du You found that his stack of white crystal coins had once again reached a thousand. As expected, a lone adventurer always reaps mass rewards. The greatest danger is just that it’s more dangerous.
People like him, who have two occupations, would encounter dangers, let alone the others.
Skill Scroll: After using it, learn Magic Death Fog. Release a fog composed of death force, continuously damaging any non-death attribute creatures, weakening their vitality, and strengthening the effects on the Undead Creatures.
Well, this again is a nice skill of the Undead Mage, it’s just that it’s of no use to him.
"Perhaps this can be bundled together and sold with the skill to create Dried Corpse; the price might be higher. Wait, no, a Dried Corpse is just one type of undead; there seem to be many people who walk the path of the undead."
While Du You was pondering, he shook his head after a long while and decided it’s better to not think anymore; the gains from this time were already quite a lot. After collecting his items, there were 67 Black Flame Iron Ingots and 30 pieces of Black Flame Iron Fine Iron left in his personal space.
It’s not that there were only these gains, it’s that his personal space couldn’t fit in more items. Along the way, he had already discarded all the iron ores and many of the iron blocks had been cleared out.
Now, he only had these items at hand. But since he still had room, he’d hold on to them for now.
