Because a keyword “Heavenly Defiance” was triggered in this journey, a Fine-level item got a one-ti quality enhancent, turning it into an Excellent-quality blue item.
In other words, after drinking it, it would attract snake-like monsters even more.
“God damn Heroic Hero, I’m not soone like Xu Xian.”
Xu Shu’s mouth twitched, expressing his protest—extrely, if not completely.
However, this wasn’t a significant issue and could be disregarded.
Silently closing the Tai Chu Scroll’s item tab, which had gained an additional bottled beverage icon, Xu Shu’s brows gradually furrowed, and his gaze beca dangerous.
Tailed Ksitigarbha.
That was the real problem.
This thing, Xu Shu had encountered it yesterday in a remote little inn at coordinates (19,6).
Back then, it was a paper Buddha, which Deep Sea Octopus Brother was worshiping and summoning, while Xu Shu got killed by it during the journey.
But in reality, Xu Shu had burned this paper-made Bodhisattva with a fire, and nothing happened.
To his utter surprise, today, after trekking a full 70 kiloters north from (19,12), he encountered it again at (19,19).
And this ti, Xu Shu got killed again.
“Two hits and it’s a kill each ti, does this monster have so extre attack thod?
Seems pretty strong…
but…”
Xu Shu’s eyes fell on his figurine “Narrow Sleeve Guanyin.”
Recalling how he was relentlessly pursued and killed countless tis by Narrow Sleeve Guanyin, Xu Shu stroked his chin.
Clearly, without facing Tailed Ksitigarbha directly, he couldn’t confirm through the Tai Chu Scroll what kind of being it truly was.
But Xu Shu, by his own conjecture, could figure it out quite well.
Needless to say, this ‘Tailed Ksitigarbha’ was inevitably of the sa kind as the forr ‘Narrow Sleeve Guanyin’—an Evil Spirit.
And Xu Shu could further surmise it was likely a Primordial Spirit!
However, Narrow Sleeve Guanyin cos with the “Spirit Wisdom” suffix, but what could be the suffix of Tailed Ksitigarbha?
Struck by him twice with sneak attacks, and without any head-on one-on-one fight, how strong could it actually be?
If he squared off against Narrow Sleeve Guanyin, how much of a chance would he have?
“Never mind, Tailed Ksitigarbha dared to provoke twice, it’s asking for its demise.
Let’s have a full al first before I find trouble with it.”
”However, the enemy is in the light and I am in the shadows, it still doesn’t know of my existence.
Perhaps I could use so other thod first to confirm how high a threat it poses…”
After running through his thoughts, Xu Shu was quickly washed up and descended to have a sumptuous breakfast.
(19,12) is a rather large trading post lighthouse, bustling with many people today, so breakfast was still plentiful and delicious.
Thick congee laced with bits of ground at, with the crowning touch being the fine pieces of century egg, salting up the taste and fully awakening the taste buds.
Xu Shu ate his fill, contentedly stuffing his belly.
In a corner of the lobby, a group dressed like Patrol Soldiers, seemingly passing by, was talking vividly while having breakfast.
They spoke in a low voice, but with Xu Shu’s keen hearing, he could still catch what they were saying.
“It seems that the eastern border outside the safe zone is unrest.”
”Yeah, even the two strongest presences within our safe zone went out there personally.”
”Did you see it last night?
Behind that hill to the east, bam, it was like war broke out, mushroom clouds exploded in several plus.”
”I wonder what level of monster it was…”
”Fourth-order level beasts, the Astronomy Association has made its verdict, they belong to the [Ma Su Si] Legion, code-nad ‘Plastic Demon’.
I’ve got insider info, this ti soone highly skilled pointed out its location!
Otherwise, who knows the damage this thing could have caused to the pioneering teams leaving the city?
Guess how far from the border?”
”How far?”
”This much!” the Patrol Captain raised three fingers, “Thirty kiloters!”
”So close!”
The other mbers drew in a sharp breath.
Thirty kiloters seems far, but it really isn’t that long a distance.
A slightly sizable Pioneering Team could easily and carelessly move beyond that range.
“Fortunately, we only need to patrol on the Wasteland, which is much too safe.” one mber sipped so milk.
Another person lanted with aspiration, “Such a powerful monster is a treasure all over.
Killing one like that, if it were before the Great Catastrophe, could probably buy at least ten apartnts in a first-tier city, right?”
”Pfft, aiming so low.
I say at least twenty.”
”I bid twenty-five.”
”Thirty apartnts!”
Anyway, it cost nothing to talk, and the past no longer existed, so the rest also began to bid higher.
“Earthly List powerful beings, they probably could marry ten wives.”
”at every day, endless wine and milk.”
The group buzzed with conversation, dreaming of the “mountains of pancakes, seas of spring onions” kind of blissful life that the true powerhouses enjoyed.
