Capítulo 2343: Chapter 1819: The Opportunity of Spherical Wisdom and Proper Conduct (Double-length)
“Senior, I think I can really find that coffin. Follow !”
Su Ran rembered the round pit. The coffin would most likely have been blown there, so he didn’t hesitate and led the Demon King Zi E towards the pit.
…
“I wonder if they can kill Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained…”
President Zhi Yuan’s face was full of conflict. Earlier, he was just too excited and casually ntioned a reward. When he cald down, he imdiately regretted it. A thousand points and a golden weapon just for the life of Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained wasn’t worth it at all!
This was clearly a fool’s move!
At that mont, President Zhi Yuan almost hoped Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained could survive; he didn’t want to lose face…
If he lost money over this, he’d be regretting it all night and be unable to sleep.
But just as he was lost in thought, a blood-red coffin fell from the sky, crashing into the pit and nearly hitting his head.
“What the heck is going on?”
President Zhi Yuan looked dumbfounded, not expecting such a sudden stroke of luck; fate eventually favored him.
He couldn’t fathom it—wasn’t the mummy battling snakes at sea? How did it end up back in the coffin?
Could it be…
The mummy couldn’t beat the snakes and used a life-saving asure?
If that was true, what lay before him was a near-death boss?
Hahaha, when luck cos, it’s unstoppable!
Thinking of this, President Zhi Yuan couldn’t hold back. He imdiately lifted the coffin lid by force, ready to attack the mummy regardless of its state.
“Huh?”
President Zhi Yuan, ready for a desperate fight, was surprised to find the mummy limp like a corpse, lying on the ground without any resistance as he chopped at it.
“Dead?”
He curiously used his axe to lift the mummy’s head, only to find the Heavenly Soul Ghost Eye on the forehead was a pitch-black hollow, entirely lifeless as if it were just a dead body.
“Even dead, I’ll separate your body!”
President Zhi Yuan didn’t miss this opportunity to defile the corpse in revenge for the attempted extortion with the Exorcism Talisman.
“Die!”
He swung the double axes towards the mummy’s neck, quickly slicing the shroud into pieces.
…
“Senior, it seems you won’t need to intervene after all.”
Su Ran, along with the Ghost King Zi E, ca near the pit. Upon seeing the scene, Su Ran’s expression turned strange, “Soon, the mummy will be nothing but minced at.”
“That human got lucky picking up Tongyu’s body. It’s a decent outco. Undead Skeleton, if you bring that coffin, I’ll join your domain.”
Demon King Zi E didn’t expect the mummy to end up in such a state, being bullied by a human to this degree—with suicide seeming a better option.
“The coffin? No problem!”
Su Ran sprinted forward, saying, “Senior, wait a bit, I’ll be back in minutes!”
Finished speaking, without waiting for a response from Zi E, he went into stealth mode, disappearing from view.
“Gutsy but reckless. Aren’t you afraid of running into a trap?”
Demon King Zi E was sowhat dissatisfied with Su Ran’s performance, feeling he acted too brashly without thinking, which lowered her impression of him.
Zi E was already prepared to rescue Su Ran if he got trapped and wouldn’t stand by idly. The plan to have him join the domain could wait.
Unexpectedly, in front of her, suddenly appeared a small zombie riding a skeletal centipede. In a flash, it vanished, leaving no trace.
Though unsure of what happened, Zi E knew this was the work of the Undead Skeleton. It showed he wasn’t entirely reckless and knew how to prepare, which improved her impression of him, and she awaited his thod of retrieving the coffin.
“Swish!”
As President Zhi Yuan was gleefully slaughtering, the nearby coffin disappeared without warning. He was alard and stepped toward where it vanished, unable to find a cause, so he ignored it and kept attacking the mummy.
“President, President!”
A subordinate rushed back in a panic, “Sothing terrible happened! That woman with Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained is a super strong female NPC! We were no match for her. Hundreds died, and the rest fled!”
“Hundreds? Where’s the rest? Why didn’t even one co back?”
President Zhi Yuan inexplicably sighed in relief, glad Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained wasn’t dead, which ant he wouldn’t have to lose those rewards after all.
“The others were too ashad to face you and returned to the Imperial City.”
The subordinate also planned to return to the Imperial City, believing in safety in numbers—there’s no way President Zhi Yuan would bla all those hundreds, right? But before he could use the Town Recall Scroll, he saw President Zhi Yuan had luck—this mummy was in the pit, the president’s prey.
He dismissed the thought of returning, staying to bask in the potential glory and share in the spoils.
“A camp of a thousand, yet unable to deal with just one player—they might as well not return; I have no use for them. Returning to the city? Blind to it, out of sight, out of mind!”
President Zhi Yuan was unhappy with these subordinates, no wonder they took so long without showing up—they turned tail and ran.
But none of that mattered anymore. The mummy was in front of him, and killing it ant no need to share the loot!
Pity.
Even after President Zhi Yuan chopped off the mummy’s head, no loot dropped—not even experience points, almost making him explode with anger. After all that effort, he wasn’t even rewarded with copper coins, absolutely nothing, all in vain!
Damn!
President Zhi Yuan kicked the head out of frustration to vent his anger.
“President, don’t be hasty to get angry; your Exorcism Talisman might be in those white cloth strips. Unwrap them before fuming!”
The subordinate had broader considerations than Zhi Yuan and quickly advised, “The task isn’t complete yet; at least the Heavenly Spirit Liquid hasn’t appeared. The Demon Spirit Bottle is still in your hands, showing we still have a chance!”
“Well said!”
Reassured, President Zhi Yuan cald a bit and started unwrapping the white cloth strips from the headless body, habitually checking the attributes of the cloth and got excited exclaiming in surprise, “This is the shroud, an equal treasure to the Demon Spirit Bottle!”
He clearly rembered Badongng ntioned their four groups had only the Exorcism Talisman, shroud, Demon Spirit Bottle, and Spirit Cutting Wood. Missing were the Cursed Ghost Corpse and Blazing Bronze Stove. Unexpectedly, this body was wrapped in the shroud, aning Carving Dragon had t his end.
This was good news: one less competitive rival!
Now, he just needed to watch out for Withered Fish’s team and Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained; the task’s difficulty was thus reduced, and the chance of obtaining the Heavenly Spirit Liquid greatly increased!
“This is…”
As President Zhi Yuan basked in excitent, he glanced at the mummy’s identity, his pupils constricting as he shouted in surprise, “It’s a Cursed Ghost Corpse!”
“Congratulations, President, congratulations! You’ve acquired three of the six treasures. The task’s rewards can only be yours!”
Subordinates joined in the excitent, piling on flattering remarks, speaking effortlessly without pause.
“Hahaha, losing the Exorcism Talisman but gaining the Cursed Ghost Corpse and shroud—seems luck is indeed on my side!”
President Zhi Yuan laughed loudly with joy, “I’ll wait here for them, let them co deliver themselves to death!”
“President, how wise! With all these treasures assembled, defeating that demon will be no problem!”
“So what if it’s a demon? Let it co!”
