Chapter 220: Perfect, Rare Offering

Chapter 220: Perfect, Rare Offering

After Ruan Xiaoer jumped out of the water and killed the head of the Water Demons, two streaks of white light emerged from the dead body.

[Water Demon Mark]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-6]

[Rarity: Superior offering]

[Description: The mark on the leader of the Yuan Water Demon, which could enable one’s body to completely merge into water. It was said that such marks of higher levels could turn a person into a real current!]

First of all, it was an offering, as expected.

As a matter of fact, just like the Shadow Assassin, who would drop Shadow Totems, all Water Demons would drop Water Demon Marks as well.

However, the other marks were only Extraordinary Rank-5, but the one of the Water Demon head had a higher level and was of the Superior grade.

It just so happened that after finishing the Ten-Species Competition task, the Ten-Species Competition was also given a reward of an Extraordinary Level-6 Soul of Civilization. Theoretically, after they left the battlefield, they could use this offering to summon another hero for their navy.

Apart from the mark, the other streak of white light was the icepick that the Water Demon leader used to attack Ji Ye with.

[Icepick]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-7]

[Rarity: Perfect (Rare)]

[Description: A special weapon that could transform its state between water and ice. It is made from a very rare material.]

That was why the head of the Water Demons dared to ambush Ji Ye the night before. The weapon he held was a Perfect equipment of Extraordinary Rank-7. Although it wasn’t as impressive as the special Soul Slasher the head of the Shadow Assassins used, it would still greatly enhance Ji Ye’s combat capability.

“Nice!”

To Ji Ye, this weapon could even be as useful as the Soul Slasher. After all, he could control water, and this icepick could change water into ice.

Come to think of it, this weapon would have great potential.

An Extraordinary Rank-6 Water Demon leader alone had dropped such an impressive object. As one of the key targets of this Battlefield of Providence, the North King would definitely drop something even more valuable.

[Water Demon Training Method]

[Level: Extraordinary]

[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]

[Description: A secret training method of Yuan, which was only known to Yaoyu, the second North King. The knowledge was lost after the accidental death of Yaoyu.]

“I see... If we kill the kings of Yuan, we can obtain the methods of training this special type of soldiers!”

Ji Ye’s eyes lit up when he saw the first item dropped by the female king named Yaoyu. The description suggested that there might be a story behind it.

It was doubtlessly very valuable.

Since the Water Demons were all Extraordinary Rank-5 and above, there couldn’t be too many of them. Even if they were all killed, they would drop a few dozens of Water Demon Marks at most.

Moreover, these marks were different from the Black Mountain Armor from the previous Battlefield of Providence. The marks would disappear when the user died, and it couldn’t be inherited. Theoretically, even if they were used to build a special force, they could still be used up in battles.

But with the training method, the Twin Dragon Mount fort would be able to continuously replenish this special force.

It would be like being taught how to fish rather than being given the fish directly.

Apart from the Water Demon Training Method, the white gem of the North King also emitted a white light with a hint of silver in it.

[Water Stopping Stone]

[Rarity: Special]

[Level: Perfect Offering (Rare)]

[Description: A legendary treasure of Yuan, which is said to be granted by an immortal. It could stop water from flowing and turn rivers into lands.

As expected, it was a rare treasure that could affect the flow of water.

But to Ji Ye’s surprise, it was an offering again, and it was also a Perfect and Rare one. The gem itself was also an object with Transcendent power.

“Well, it should have something to do with the special situation of the Battlefield of Providence this time...” Ji Ye speculated.

Apart from his own settlement, which had his Fusion talent, it was very hard for common settlements to obtain Perfect offerings. But Perfect heroes couldn’t possibly all get summoned here after they were downgraded.

Therefore, one of the purposes of a large-scale Battlefield of Providence was to provide Perfect offerings for the participants as a type of hidden reward.

But theoretically, what kind of heroes could such special offerings summon?

...

Of course, the rewards of this battle came from more than those two Yuan soldiers.

On a pirate ship that was lying in the water, the fight was already over.

The deck was covered with blood and severed limbs, but to the participants, the place looked resplendent from all the lights surrounding the rewards. Some objects had exceptionally strong white lights, indicating that they were Extraordinary objects with high grades. Some of the lights even had a hint of silver in them.

Of the participants from the pirate settlement who had boarded the ship with the Yuan North King, over 30 people were killed in the battle, and the rewards they dropped were two times that of the battle before they boarded the ship.

Of course, the participants of the pirate settlement had to die off before the Twin Dragon Mount could take all of the rewards.

“Master, a person from the pirate settlement is still alive, and he wants to see you!”

However, when Wu Qiao walked around the ship to finish off the Yuan soldier that was still breathing, she brought back some bad news.

...

Pew!

The participants from the pirate settlement weren’t all dead, but it didn’t make much difference, because all the heroes had died, and the only one left was a player.

He had been struck by the North King and was sitting limply in a corner of the cabin with blood coming out of his mouth, nostrils, and ears.

Normally, players should be killed instantly if they were hit by the North King of Yuan, but this player had been able to hold on until now, which meant that he should at least be Extraordinary Rank-6.

He was probably a beta tester in his settlement.

“You know what?

“I’ve set up explosive devices under the deck. My original plan was to go down with all those Yuan masters, should things come to that point. But I didn’t detonate them...”

The player had a bronze monocular and was as thin as a stick. He was in his late 20s, and he had sunken eye sockets from wearing glasses all the time. His face was pale from the loss of blood.

His eyes lit up when he saw Ji Ye walking in.

“Wow!”

Ji Ye’s eyes flickered when he looked behind the pirate beta tester, where a few water-proof cases were set. They stayed dry even after the cabins had been flooded, and he had seen the same cases in other key spots in the ship.

Apparently, the man was telling the truth.

And there was no way that Ji Ye could have anticipated this.

Actually, under normal circumstances, normal people would never anticipate such a thing. Only someone coming out of a pirate settlement could be so merciless.

Although Ji Ye had no idea how powerful these explosive cases were, he didn’t think that they would be too weak, and they should be able to kill some of the Yuan soldiers.

However, Ji Ye could guess why this beta tester didn’t detonate the bombs.

He didn’t say a word and only stared at the beta tester.

“Ahem... Once the Battlefield of Providence is over and we’re all back to the City of Providence, there are things we want to get from you through an exchange. After all, you don’t need everything here, do you?”

Ji Ye only nodded without saying another word.

Seeing this, the beta tester had to go on and answer the question himself.

He had to, because Ji Ye could wait, but he couldn’t. In his current condition, if he stalled any longer, he might not have the time to speak again.

“Yes.”

After some consideration, Ji Ye nodded.

The two settlements were competitors at the moment, so the Twin Dragon Mount had deliberately arrived a little late so that the pirate settlement could deplete some of the Yuan soldiers.

Despite the competition, they were still both settlements of Southwest Province. Strictly speaking, there wasn’t any real grudge between them.

Because of that, the beta tester didn’t detonate the explosives.

Apart from venting his anger, doing so wouldn’t achieve anything.

Instead, it would breed enmity with the Twin Dragon Mount and even the other settlements of Southwest Province.

Because friendly hero projections such as Yang Guo, Reverend Yideng, and Zhou Botong were also on the ship, detonating the explosives would weaken the strength of their own side. If it cost them the entire war, the pirate settlement would be criticized by everyone.

There was also another reason why he didn’t set off the bomb. The objects!

If one died in the Battlefield of Providence, their body in the settlement wouldn’t die. What they would lose was the qualification to enter the City of Humans, the power of providence of the settlement, and the objects they brought into the Battlefield of Providence.

The objects taken into the Battlefield of Providence were mostly the participant’s most important things, such as Gongsun Sheng’s Mirage Dragon Sword, Wu Song’s Tiger Soul Saber, Ji Ye’s Wolf Soul Totem, Yang Zhi’s Black Mountain Armor, etc.

Such things were only high-quality weapons or gears to other people, but to their original owners, they could be irreplaceable.

And Ji Ye had his reason when he said yes.

Based on the current progress of the Twin Dragon Mount, as long as they won this war, they would definitely obtain a lot of spoils of war.

Because some of the spoils of war didn’t fit in the background of the settlement, taking them back would cost them more power of providence. Therefore, he would have to trade away some of them. Obviously, it would be more worthwhile to trade with the original owners.

Because they would be willing to spend a fortune to get them back.

As for how to find someone from the pirate settlement to trade with, they wouldn’t have to worry about that.

Although their people had died in the Battlefield of Providence, just like the Twin Dragon Mount, they had to have left someone behind in the City of Humans for the trade.

“Thanks! I think you may find this useful...”

The beta tester smiled wryly and spat out some blood as he spoke.

He then pointed at something that looked like a remote control.

“By the way, I’m Li Lei. I’m from Zi City...”

“I’m Ji Ye of Yang City!”

They didn’t talk for long before Li Lei, the beta tester, stopped breathing. He was then enshrouded by the light that represented the Golden Card of the City of Humans.

Ji Ye didn’t try to save Li Lei.

Because before they boarded the ship, Ji Ye had just used his Healing talent to save An Quan, and the cooldown time still wasn’t over.

Of course, even if Ji Ye could use the talent now, he still wouldn’t help the man.

Besides, it was also because Ji Ye himself wasn’t really here with the beta tester.
