Chapter 214: Chapter 199: Red Tower, I Will Conquer (3K)_1

Translator: 549690339

As the intelligence officers at Eye of Shiny were bewildered over whether Victor had died or not, Tianyuan Territory was in session… ah no, they were unboxing… that’s not quite right either.

They were unboxing their loot as if they were opening a blind box.

Victor, such a powerful man, was an absolute big shot in the eyes of ordinary players, and also a public official of the Shen Yao Empire. Naturally, he was wealthy. Even if he might not have brought many of his wealth with him.

The unboxing location was in the Tianyuan’s private secret realm, the ‘Black Wasteland’.

The unboxer was none other than General Duo Lai.

And the blind box was naturally Victor’s… corpse, along with the equippment and items stored in his storage ring on his body.

His body was not only cold at the moment, but the flesh was also decaying and did not resemble the body of a third-order expert. The essence of his flesh seemed to have been taken away by something.

His essence remained in the Underworld Ghost Market in the form of a soul body.

Eternal existence.

Isn’t this a beautiful death?

Duo Lai was fumbling with the storage ring, muttering, “Come on out, good loot…”

It pulled out a bag of Soul Sand, in total 136oog.

It pulled out 31 Remnant Souls, one of which was a rare one-star Shadow Assassin’s Remnant Soul.

Then it pulled out a bunch of scattered odds and ends.

Maps, classified documents that needed to be deciphered.

The map only recorded the area this intruder had traveled through. Not only were the coordinates of eight newly risen territories recorded, but also two monster tribes and thirteen monster camps.

“Not bad, these camps and tribes are all treasures.”

From some scattered objects, Mu Yuan also obtained information about this intruder—’Victor of the Phantom’.

He said he didn’t recognize him.

It was normal not to know him.

The Phantom’s Victor was extremely powerful, a three-star ‘Phantom Swordsman’ class at the rare Warlord Level. Although his job level was not high, he seemed to have learned many inherited skills from various channels.

If Rakshasa hadn’t evolved to an epic level, it would probably be ata disadvantage against him.

But once Rakshasa had evolved, any of her three-phase bodies could suppress him.

Yet even powerful as Victor did not attack and seize resources from monster camps and tribes along the way, which speaks to the weakness of ranger players. Even if he could wipe out an entire monster camp and kill hundreds of monsters, it would take a lot of time and effort, and the rewards might not be worthwhile.

Unlike lord players who have to put in little effort to seize loot and resources, it’s as easy as giving a command. For Lord Shepherd, he doesn’t even have to command it, his generals can handle it themselves and bring back resources. The thing Victor had the most of on him stored up was various items.

Duo Lai was demonstrating its math skills, which were now on par with a sixth grade primary school student’s, and was counting:

“There are 135 regular magic technique scrolls in total.”

“There are also 26 rare-grade magic technique scrolls, of which there are the most stealth scrolls, capable of eliminating all your own breath.”

“Excellent-grade technique scrolls, none… wait, he used a space transfer scroll. Dammit!”

This guy really knew how to take those with him to the grave!

Duo Lai stamped its feet.

It then sorted out other types of items, such as cannon fodder puppets for scouting and compass needles for detecting energy, and so on.

Among this batch of items, it finally found a valuable item.

‘Doll of Fate Substitution (Excellent)’

‘Description: After the owner binds it, it can substitute for the owner to take all the damage of death in a crisis, and restores the owner’s physical state to peak condition within three seconds. After use, the Doll of Fate Substitution will be destroyed on its own.’

This is an extremely powerful lifesaving item!

Mu Yuan had seen this treasure both at the Tai Xuan Covenant exchange platform and the Elf Courtyard traders’ meeting.

Its price was steep.

It is difficult to purchase with just Soul Crystals. You either have to exchange it with Contribution Points, or trade for it with other treasures at high-level trading meetings.

Yet,

Mu Yuan looked strange, “Obviously, this intruder did not activate this precious item until his death.”

Is the ‘Doll of Fate Substitution’ too lousy? Not at all.

This is not only an excellent-grade item, but players who have used it also highly praise it.

It is a precious thing that can give you an extra life!

But however strong the Doll of Fate Substitution is, the Underworld Ghost Market has it beat.

Perhaps this is where the power of Epic Skills comes in.

No matter the Underworld Ghost Market, Three-phase Body, River of Stars or the Wraith Sacred Mountain, they all realize some incredible effects that are unimaginable and incomprehensible.

“However, this also shows that the Doll of Fate Substitution has a limit.”

“The Underworld Ghost Market can circumvent the law of death substitution. There must be other abilities that can do the same. The most reliable method of preserving one’s life is, indeed, killing all enemies.”

He sighed lightly.

Dead Bone nodded deeply in agreement.

After finishing browsing the storage ring, next was the most heavyweight treasure on the intruder – his equipment.

The intruder, who was a high-ranking player in the third-order, was affluent and equipped with a total of six pieces of equipment on his body.

The armor was the rare-grade ‘Armor of Night Shadow’; the battle boots were the rare-grade ‘Snow Flying Boots’; in addition there were rare accessories ‘Stealth Pendant’, ‘Premonition Amulet’.

Each one of them was a top quality item among the rare-grade items.

Of course, things like battle armor and boots had been worn and hence suffered wear and tear. It would be best to let Master Li remelt them for remanufacturing.

“There are two more items at the excellence level-!”

Duo Lai said.

The first one was a set of light swords, which combined to form an initial entry into the rank of excellence and was named the ‘Phantom Light Dance Sword’. In addition to being highly sharp and having primary enhancement, it was also attached to a high-level skill called ‘Light Shadow Slash’, which could generate dozens of slashes in an instant.

However, there was no one in the entire Tianyuan territory suitable for using this pair of light swords. Even Master Li would find it difficult to perfectly remodel a piece of equipment at the excellence tier.

Mu Yuan could either play around with them himself or find an opportunity to exchange them for other treasures.

The value of the other piece of excellence gear was much higher.

‘Cloak of Shadows (Excellent)’

‘Explanation: This equipment can slightly enhance the wearer’s physique, spirit, and energy, and can conceal the wearer’s breath and energy fluctuations. At the same time, it can activate the active skill ‘Shadow Fusion’, under which the ability to conceal one’s breath is greatly enhanced, most detection abilities can be ignored, and lower-level enchantments can be directly passed through.’ ‘Note 1: The effect of this equipment will be greatly enhanced in a dark environment.’

‘Note 2: The Cloak of Shadows has no physical existence and can be integrated into cloaks, capes, ribbons, etc.’

The gains were considerable.

If one were to hark back to the times when the Tianyuan territory was still poor, there were no items of excellence at all. Now, they suddenly had two. “Thankyou for nature’s gift.”

Apart from the gifts, the defense problem of the territory must be taken very seriously.

The assassins that came this time weren’t strong enough, but what about next time?

Of course, these foreign spies and assassins, no matter how strong they were, could only be so strong. Firstly, the true top-tier experts had their status to maintain and wouldn’t stoop to do such petty acts of assassination and sabotage; secondly, top-tier experts were well-known, and while the Shen Yao Empire dared to influence Tai Xuan’s development through some small tricks, it did not dare to wage a real war.

In the deep wilderness, there were real enemies after all.

Tide, Fallen Gods, Filth.

The territories of humans were expanding and their forces were getting stronger, but real calamities had erupted several decades ago, and over a hundred and two hundred years ago, and three hundred years ago.

Although the result was always a victory for humans, many, many countries had been annihilated in those calamities.

The next calamity might arrive at any time.

At present, the Tianyuan territory only had some survival ability, but it was still far from strong, and it had to solidify its entire territory like a rock.

Half a day later, Hong Yi and Isloa worked together to decipher the classified files, and also retrieved fragments of information from the mind of the intruder, Victor.

They were somewhat disappointed.

“We ‘saw’ the enemy’s secret base, but couldn’t find any location information. The other decrypted information can only be said to be a bit useful.”

Mu Yuan, however, was not disappointed.

This was within his expectations.

Besides, what if they did find the location information? Could he attack it? That would be too reckless.

He could also report this location information, choose to invite official intervention, but who could guarantee that this front-line base was not a bait set by the Shen Yao Empire?

For the Tianyuan territory at present, what was most important was to buy more time for development.

And according to the decrypted information, the enemy knew very little about his Tianyuan territory. There were many possible causes for the death of an A- grade scout, and the most likely one was that he was assassinated by Tai Xuan Liangyi.

The Eye of Shen Yao would need time for any investigation.

And he, too, needed time.

“Now that Rakshasa and Hong Yi have both evolved, there are three Epics in the Undead Legion. One could say that the combat power has greatly increased.”

Even if the highest level member of the entire legion was only at the mid-stage of the second order;

Even if the vast majority of the Undead Legion soldiers were still first-order soldiers;

Mu Yuan felt that it was time to venture into the Land of Challenge. This time, he had to go all out. Once the entire Red Tower was conquered, the gifts he would receive from the heavens and the earth would be enormous.

Land of Challenge, the Red Tower area.

Mu Yuan hadn’t been here for a while. When he arrived, he found the place somewhat lively, with dozens of lords. Some of them were familiar faces.

Lord Da Ri.

Lord Luo Xing.

There were also some new faces surrounding them, who were probably newbie lords like him.

It seemed that with the Dragon Court competition approaching, they had also received keys to the secret realm. Naturally, they couldn’t avoid challenging these levels to measure their ability.

Just that…

“Dammit! This Land of Challenge is too difficult, isn’t it? I can’t even pass the first level!”

“It’s normal that you can’t pass it. You should say how long you lasted at this level. Everyone here is comparing endurance. As greenhorns like us who have just developed for a few months, who can pass it anyway.”

“But, I heard that Liu Miumiu, the Lord of Huan Chao, passed the first level.”

“Hiss-!”

Someone looked at Lord Da Ri.

Back then, Liu Miumiu ranked third on the golden list, while Da Ri was fifth. The two were said to be close, but…

Looking at the slightly green face of Lord Da Ri, it was clear that he couldn’t get through.

He was probably far from it.

No wonder Lord Da Ri’s ranking on the Rookie List kept falling. He couldn’t keep up.

“What about the Tianyuan Territory? Does anyone know the record of the Big Boss Tianyuan?”
