Chapter 517: Chapter 517

A box was nailed to the ground, which was quite unusual in itself. Du You thought about it and didn’t dare to touch it himself, instead opting to quietly retreat. Eventually, he had the Death Scorpion step forward to open the box.

The Death Scorpion was composed entirely of sand, so it probably wouldn’t be affected much even if it were attacked.

Normally, this task would be best suited to the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs due to their robust nature. However, firstly, this space was too small for the Dogs to fit. Secondly, the Dogs were currently being used for transport.

Without the Dogs, moving the remaining items back would not be so easy.

However, once the Death Scorpion opened the box, Du You didn’t see any traps. Everything looked normal.

"There’s no trap, nor poison, no curse or any kind of defensive magic. Why would they hide it so secretly?" Du You looked inside the box and found five bottles.

The bottles were transparent. Du You knew they weren’t made of glass, because this world didn’t have the technology to produce glass. These items were all made from naturally grown crystals, which seemed to be quite common in the desert.

However, natural crystals were not common items themselves; they were quite expensive. The items they contained should not be simple. This stuff was reddish-brown and liquid in form, but he didn’t know what it was.

Picking up one of the bottles, Du You looked at the label on the panel.

Earth Dragon Blood Essence. A fee of 1000 Crystal Coins is required for use.

"What? I can’t see its specific effects, and it can only be used after a certification fee of 1000 Crystal Coins." Du You was seeing for the first time a potion that required certification before use. This was very strange.

Luckily, this was just a standard Crystal Coin. If it required his exclusive Crystal Coins, Du You absolutely wouldn’t attempt it readily. Looking at his personal inventory, there were quite a number of various Crystal Coins he could use to test it out. The source of this content ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱

"Come, certify for me. I want to see what this is."

If the certification value is already this high, the items inside must not be ordinary goods. Although the concept of 1000 Crystal Coins would make one feel distressed, if it truly were a treasure, then there would be no heartache.

Crystal Coins burnt away, the potion in his hand shimmered slightly, appearing as if no change had occurred. However, Du You knew that the potion had now become his through Law Formalization, making it a special drug.

Earth Dragon Blood Essence: Direct consumption increases physical resistance by 20 and magic resistance by 18.

The description was simple, but also exaggerated. This was not an equipable item; it was a genuine increase to both magical and physical resistance. With just this one potion, it was equivalent to wearing a layer of deep red top-tier armor.

The resistance itself was maybe comparable to the full-body defense of a heavily-armored warrior, yet it didn’t take into account the other defenses available.

Thinking of this, Du You, without hesitation, drank the potion. A warm surge flowed through his body, eventually disappearing.

Several potions, Miscellaneous items

"My magic resistance was overwritten." Du You’s eyes widened in disbelief. He had a magic resistance attribute of +3, now it was suddenly +18, which felt a bit wasteful.

However, both his defence and resistance had indeed increased. There was a special power flowing on the surface of his skin. When attacked, this power would weaken the incoming attack, and now he could clearly feel it.

Even his own spells would have trouble breaking through this magic resistance.

Regardless, Du You certified all the remaining Earth Dragon Blood Essences, costing a total of 4000 Crystal Coins. "Here, one for each of you. Use it," Du You, without any hesitation, handed two of the bottles to Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi.

The pair accepted the bottles, looked at each other, and could feel each other’s emotions. The two didn’t say anything but opened their mouths and drank the potions. Everything they own belongs to their master, why bother with anything else?

After drinking the potions, all three of them had greatly increased their chances of survival compared to before. If they had been face to face with a God Destroying Arrow before, having this sort of resistance meant that at most they would only be injured, and certainly not fatally if they were to be hit directly.

Forget it, there’s no use worrying about what’s passed. Anyway, he had come out ahead. It was just unfortunate that only one of these potions could be used.

Storing the remaining two bottles, Du You immediately said, "We should leave here immediately. This city was able to preserve such precious potions, who knows what kind of special deals they have in the shadows."
