Chapter 451: Chapter 451
The distant gold light illuminated the entire instance, naturally catching the attention of the Family Army on night watch.
A few commanders from the family were woken up overnight, and after some discussion, decided to leave Xi Ye and another commander behind while the rest, with a small team, went to check the situation, in case a Magic Beast launched a surprise attack in the middle of the night and caught them unprepared.
Along the way, they found many corpses of Magic Beasts on the ground, almost all cut into pieces, emitting a strong smell of blood.
"This is..." A commander examined the situation of the Magic Beast corpses, not feeling any elemental residue, "This is, a spirit attack?"
"Who did this?" Several commanders exchanged glances, "Could it be related to the recent gold light?"
A team continued forward, only to unexpectedly see a familiar figure halfway through.
Several commanders spoke in surprise, clearly not expecting to encounter him here, "What are you doing here?"
They hadn’t called Su Ang when they came, judging by the situation, he had obviously arrived in advance, but... what was he doing here?
Could the recently killed Magic Beasts be related to him?
Su Ang glanced at them casually, his expression natural, "Just taking a walk."
This guy really does have leisure and elegance.
The commanders exchanged glances, "I see, but did you notice the gold light over there just now? Do you know what that’s about?"
"No matter." The silver-haired youth folded his arms, leaning slantingly against the tree beneath, as the night wind scattered his hair, gently brushing against his handsome face, giving him an extremely ethereal and otherworldly look, "I’ve already handled it."
The commanders immediately felt relieved.
Although they were all older than Su Ang, in terms of combat experience, they certainly couldn’t compare to Su Ang, who was meticulously cultivated by Su Xingchen and had been heading to A-level battlefields from a young age. So, when he said he had handled it, these commanders didn’t doubt or question him.
"Since that’s the case, let’s head back." One of the commanders yawned, feeling sleepy.
"Alright, is Commander Su coming back with us?" A Gong Family commander asked offhandedly.
Su Ang shook his head slightly, "No need, to prevent any incidents, I’ll stay a little longer."
Unexpectedly, Su Ang was so responsible; the commanders, happy not to get more involved, nodded at Su Ang before heading back.
And just after a few of them left, from the black tree leaned on by the silver-haired youth, a long black sniper rifle barrel slowly retracted from the dense and concealed leaves with a crisp boyish voice muttered a complaint. Out of the shadow behind the black tree walked a person, a young man with fiery red hair, looked both sleepy and irritable, scratching his head.
"These people sure came quickly." Xu Jinghong yawned, with two tears of sleep at the corners of his eyes.
He had originally just gotten up at night to go to the toilet, unexpectedly seeing Qian Qi sneaking around on the tree, thinking she had gone crazy again and didn’t want to bother, yet didn’t expect Sheng Qing, who was resting with eyes closed in a nearby sleeping bag, to suddenly get up, grab a gun and sneakily follow Qian Qi.
Then, he saw Xi Pingzhe fumblingly crawl out of his sleeping bag, carrying a small backpack on his back, also sneakily following Qian Qi.
Then... Su Ang, resting with closed eyes against the black tree, opened his eyes and calmly watched the backs of those two leaving, also got up stealthily, err nodding.
So he followed them too.
Unexpectedly, these three were quite in sync, none of them directly went to Qian Qi, instead two squatted on the tree with binoculars to keep watch, the other...
Xu Jinghong glanced at Su Ang, headache rubbing his temples.
This one was releasing spiritual power to slaughter all the Magic Beasts attracted by the gold light nearby.
Making him feel quite useless.
Why doesn’t he just set up a stove here now and cook a meal?
Xu Jinghong instantly internally slapped himself, feeling such thoughts and competitive feelings meant he was a bit sick.
The silver-haired youth beside the tree remained silent, watching in the direction of Qian Qi from afar, rummaging through the pocket of his new white trench coat for a piece of orange candy.
His long fingers leisurely peeled open the packaging, he slowly put the orange candy into his lips.
Chewing the orange candy a few times until crushed, Qian Qi quickly swallowed it down, then bent down and bit onto the stem of No. 1.
Originally, she planned to use the Scale Blade to attack the stem, using the stem’s reaction to judge which stem the Demon Core was on. According to her past experience, Demons often prioritize protecting and disguising their weaknesses, letting their strong areas attack the enemy, so once she determines which stem the Demon Core is "slacking," she can basically confirm where the Demon Core is.
Then she’ll skin and debone that stem, carve out the Demon Core cleanly, that way she’ll not only obtain an A-level Demon Core in the simplest, easiest way but also get the remaining eight complete stems, ultimately earning the instance rewards!
But she didn’t expect the Nine Lives Grass to deliberately die!
When she checked the strategy guide, it wasn’t at all; she could only attribute it to A-level Nine Lives Grass and B-level Nine Lives Grass not being the same.
However, she had lost her patience now and planned to directly use the function of Poisonous Teeth to corrode the No. 1 stem!
"You are the first boss to make me lose patience and the first to make me reluctantly use the Poisonous Teeth skill." Qian Qi pressed the No. 1 stem to the ground, looking at it "with deep emotion," saying, "Fine, I’ll remember you."
System: [...Are you freaking crazy?]
Tiger’s teeth bit into the golden stem reinforced eight times, as if biting into a solid iron biscuit, tyrannical Qian fiercely exerted force, the tiger’s teeth embedded into the blood and flesh of the other side, seemingly determined to suck its bone and eat its flesh, intensely corrosive venom instantly injected inside!
Within just a few seconds, the No. 1 stem rapidly withered and dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a puddle of black water, while a completely full of energy A-level white Demon Core also followed by "plopping" onto the ground, rolling to Qian Qi’s feet!
The Nine Lives Grass instantly seemed like it had lost its heart generating energy, the remaining stems scattered on the ground, weakly swaying.
The Nine Lives Grass was about to scold: ￥%...##￥%*
Qian Qi stared at it, feeling like it was cursing quite obscenely.
She decided to ignore the last words of the failure, stepping forward to pick up the venom-stained Demon Core, wiping it on the nearby stem.
[That stem was stained with a bit of venom, instantly like a delicate little mistress whose skin was broken by the tyrant’s strong kiss and bite, charmingly pitifully looking, arousing Qian Qi’s desire to spoil it to the sky.] The system wrote rhythmically.
Having cleaned the Demon Core, for the sake of not wasting, Qian Qi pulled the entire Nine Lives Grass from the ground.
This really took a lot of effort as the Nine Lives Grass’s root system was extremely developed, practically digging a loose big pit into the entire ground.
She stared expectantly at the system.
You’re not thinking of stuffing the Nine Lives Grass into my belly, are you!
No way! Absolutely not!
Qian Qi continued to stare expectantly at the system: (づ｡◕^◕｡)づ Lord~
Qian Qi revealed the Space Use Ticket she had drawn.
Ahhhhhh, it shouldn’t have raised the probability back then, allowing her to draw so many Space Use Tickets!
Rubbed the nonexistent temples, the system resignedly expanded the panel, opened its gigantic mouth, and swallowed both the Nine Lives Grass and the Demon Core into the space.
Qian Qi’s rainbow fawning came out on spot: "I always knew the invincible and great System Lord pampered me the most~ Who else but System Lord can help me move such a large Nine Lives Grass? Those family commanders definitely can’t be relied on~ not even the most most most most powerful Commander Su can handle it, y’know~"
System: [Snort] hum hum hum hum hum (•‾︶‾•)~♪
Complimented delightfully.
Wait, the system smacked itself a slap, calming down for a moment.
It cannot be led by her nose!
"Ah, my reward is here!" As the system was about to shamelessly add a few space use ticket rules, the girl’s joyful voice beside it caused the system to immediately throw them aside, [Oh yes, I forgot the announcement!]
