Chapter 779: Black Pill Cracked
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Undead Valley was a place that was filled with darkness.
The miasma from decomposition that entered their nostrils as soon as they entered this place almost made them vomit.
Jiang Feng had gone through too many such places, and so he was not that affected. He began to scan his surroundings.
Undead Valley was not one single valley. It looked like a maze and was connected to many other places. No one knew where its center was and where the treasures were. That was why this Secret Map had yet to be cleared.
Where they appeared within the valley was randomized. They were currently in a small passageway. In front of them was a crossroad.
Sus and the others had gotten used to it after vomiting a few times, and then began to search their surroundings.
Jiang Feng slapped Sus to wake him up and asked him, “Can we confirm our current position?”
They could not check their maps in a Secret Map. Since Sus seemed to know much more about this Secret Map, he wanted to have Sus confirm their current position.
Sus quickly regained his senses and checked his surroundings, and then said to Jiang Feng, “This should be somewhere close to the center, because the closer we are to the center, the smaller the passageways become. All we need to do is to head East, and we should be able to hear sounds of battle soon.”
Since they already knew their general location, Jiang Feng did not want to stay in this place. He then led all four of them to head East.
They did not encounter any monsters on their way. They had mostly been cleared by the previous teams and freelancers.
Undead Valley was huge. They had walked for almost an hour, but they had not encountered any monsters or players. It was like they had disappeared.
“Hm?” After going through many passageways, they finally reached a passageway that had not been explored. There were around twenty undead monsters within the passageway.
The undead monsters here were not zombies or skeletons. They were monsters that took the form of black mists with a pair of sharp claws. There were two green flames where the head should be.
Undead Guardian: Heavenly Realm One Star
Combat Rating: 10,932
The Undead Guardians had no Inner Chi attribute. They only had combat ratings.
However, their combat rating had surpassed 10,000, and it would be quite difficult to deal with.
“Should we go back or clear out the monsters?” Huang Xiaoyu was quite afraid of the Undead Guardians. He stood at the back and looked at the Undead Guardians as he tried to hide and only show his head.
“We have to clear them. The monsters are still here, so it proves that this path has not been explored. Maybe this is the path that would take us to the treasures. Not to mention that wherever there are monsters in a Secret Map, there is something precious around it,” Sus said.
“If that is the case, we’ll lure a monster!” Jiang Feng then explained, “What I mean by that is to use the passageway’s available vision to lure one monster to us and ambush it all together. We can kill them one by one. Sus, use your talent to pull one here!” Jiang Feng said as he walked toward the passageway where there were monsters.
T/L Note: The author didn’t use the correct term for what the MC’s doing...
They stopped at the entrance of the passageway where the monsters were. However, they did not enter. Instead, they hid next to the entrance of the passageway.
Sus glanced into the passageway as he popped his head out, and he then transformed his sword into a chain. He then pulled out an Undead Guardian carefully so he did not attract the attention of the other Undead Guardians.
The Undead Guardian was stunned when it was pulled out, ‘Oh crap. I was chatting with an undead lady! Why did I suddenly appear in this place! I will not tolerate this!’
“Exploding Fist!”
The Undead Guardian was just about to attack when Jiang Feng punched into its body, sending it flying, and it landed on the ground not so far away.
Wanke used this chance and summoned his Zen Staff into his hand, and whacked it using the staff, forcing it back by several meters. Kalosi’s attack came after that as she sliced its throat using her dagger. As Huang Xiaoyu could not draw his array in time, all he could do was to whack the monster using his large brush.
Heaven Realm monsters usually had around 4,000 HP and possessed powerful defense. After the flurry of attacks they unleashed on it, they did not even empty one-third of its HP.
Seeing that they did not kill the Undead Guardian in one round, Jiang Feng quickly warned all of them, “Activate your Chi Shields! Those that don’t have it move out of the way!”
Whoosh!
In the next moment, Jiang Feng, Sus, Huang Xiaoyu, and Wanke had all activated their Chi Shields. Kalosi did not activate hers.
It seemed that Kalosi did not use her real body to enter the game but came into the game using a terminal. Huang Xiaoyu was a native and his body was very real. That was why he had a Chi Shield as well.
Boom!
The moment they activated their Chi Shields, the Undead Guardian let out an angry howl and a powerful wave of energy crashed into all of them. At the same time, a dark-colored Black Pill the size of one’s thumb flew straight toward Kalosi who did not have a Chi Shield.
When Jiang Feng saw that, he was shocked. He held Kalosi in his arms letting the formless energy blast into him as he exposed his back. Not only that, a Black Pill was launched out from his body, engaging the Black Pill from the Undead Guardian.
Boom!
“Gah...”
It was obvious that the Undead Guardian’s Black Pill was slightly more powerful. When the two Black Pill crashed into each other, his Black Pill was forced back into his body with cracks on it. And as his Black pill was damaged and he was hit by the energy wave, he was instantly injured as he threw up a mouthful of blood.
The blood splashed on Kalosi’s shoulder as she remained in Jiang Feng’s arms, looking at him with big eyes as he was injured. She did not know why but she felt like crying.
When the Undead Guardian’s Black Pill crashed with Jiang Feng’s Black Pill, it did not end up any better. It was also injured, with only half of its health left.
At this time, Wanke, Sus, and Huang Xiaoyu who remained unhurt quickly attracted the Undead Guardian’s aggro onto themselves.
The sword in Sus’s hand instantly transformed into a chain-sword as he bound the Undead Guardian with it. Wanke jumped up into the air and smashed the head of the Undead Guardian’s head.
The Undead Guardian only had a little bit of health left. Huang Xiaoyu moved the brush in hand, and several strands of hair from the brush flew out like needles and pierced into the Undead Guardian’s eyes that were blazing with green flames, immediately killing it.
Once they had killed the Undead Guardian, all three of them ran toward Jiang Feng quickly.
“Captain, are you alright?!” Huang Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Feng with worry on her face.
“Cough... I won’t die.” Jiang Feng coughed up a mouthful of blood with a smile.
“Eat it, eat it now...” Kalosi was even more anxious as she quickly took out a blue fruit and put it in front of Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng glanced at the blue fruit, and he could feel warmth in his heart.
The fruit was a Rare Treasure, called the Crystal Fruit. It could be used to quickly heal any internal injuries as well as increase Inner Chi. It’s worth at least a million gold pieces.
To those who entered the game using their real bodies, having a fruit such as this was equal to having an extra life. Naturally, it would be extremely valuable.
Jiang Feng had already given all his beast pills to Xuanyuan Dugu. As he was not able to leave the Xingyue City after he arrived in the Xingyue Area, that caused him to have no Beast Pills in stock.
However, he did not choose to eat the fruit that he had gained from Kalosi. Instead, he used Transmute Monster on the undead guardian.
If he could fuse with the Titans, he might be able to fuse with the Undead Guardians as well. If he could fuse with them, that meant that he could transmute them. Therefore, he was going to give it a try.
T/L Note: Author said that he can fuse with the Heavenly Demon. He hasn’t even come across one. I assume he meant the titans and not the heavenly demons.
If he could really transmute it, then he could save a Crystal Fruit Rare Treasure.
