Chapter 49: The Generous Only One, The Device That Opens the World of Online Gaming
A hundred million crystal cores—just how many things could Qiao Jia accomplish with such wealth? With ten million activation fees, she could activate ten blind boxes; at a million each, she could activate a hundred; at a hundred thousand, she could activate a thousand! The very thought was enough to stir one’s excitement.
“Host! Host! Let’s kill and plunder to seize that fifth-tier crystal core!” the system exclaimed, brimming with enthusiasm. “With a hundred million points, even if the sixth-tier vampires attack, we won’t have to fear them!”
Zhu Junyang, however, couldn’t share her feelings. To him, prey was valued either as food or for its pelt; the notion of pity was entirely foreign. Aside from sable pelts, he had hunted many silver foxes, mysterious foxes, and red foxes.
The piercing wails behind them were the fierce sword aura of the many elders from the Canghen Sect. If caught, escape would be impossible—their fate would surely be sealed.
Yun Langya was still deep in thought when his arm was gently shaken. A warm current flowed into his body, drawing his mind back and gradually clearing his heart.
The group exchanged glances, then moved in unison, entering the passageway and appearing in one of the seven major regions.
“No… that’s not it!” Zhu Hanwen noticed the awkward expression on Liang Guodong’s face and felt even more uneasy.
On the day of the incident, only Lord Chou Ning remained exceptionally composed, having made arrangements early that morning. He could never have imagined that Jin Huai, though he followed orders and took Shen Chaohuang away, did not bring her back as instructed.
At the Sword Tomb, the third sword of the tomb—whose mastery surpassed even the Stargazing Dao—was keenly aware of the changes in tonight’s starry sky.
Yet, he remained silent. It was Luo Wuyun who continued to speak. Li Rufeng, about to defend Xiao Zifei, was stopped by Li Wan’er and Ling Xia’s gaze, falling silent and turning his attention to Xiao Zifei.
“I don’t recall ever saying this matter could simply be let go,” a sudden, harsh voice broke the tense atmosphere.
Gouhun had indeed underestimated Ling Qingchen; she hadn’t seen through all of Gouhun’s techniques, nor could she.
J left nothing in reserve; Li Qiang felt as if the explosion had shaken his bones loose, and now, just as they had nearly fit back together, they seemed ready to split apart again.
The shrill cry of the eagle echoed in the sky, but at that moment, the demonic clouds churned violently. A dark green giant hand suddenly reached out from the clouds, aiming at the shattered golden eagle and slapping toward it at an astonishing speed.
When we revere noble figures, costly treasures, and rare luxuries, do we ever wonder if a part of ourselves is within them? Does what they possess also belong, in some measure, to us?
Coffee Cat’s words sounded as if he wanted Li Qiang to make a decision, but in Li Qiang’s ears, it felt more like a subtle threat, as if everyone was about to pressure him.
Zi Wuxie, after the Sword of Immortal Execution left his body, visibly relaxed, his taut nerves easing somewhat.
With arms outstretched, Qin Ning retreated swiftly, striving to widen the distance between himself and the Divine Slayer Arrow. His mind raced, searching for a way to counter it.
Indeed, Wang Shuo, Wang Tianfeng, and Kou Jing stood directly opposite Ye Guying. The circle of security guards had already been petrified with fear, frozen in place and utterly panic-stricken.
Yan Kuan couldn’t help but glance back, and in that moment, his donkey face twisted grotesquely, his eyes wide in exaggerated terror.
Suddenly, a sizzling sound arose all around. The tower-like structures erupted simultaneously with blinding flashes of lightning. A dazzling bolt shot from the tip of one skyward spear, striking Xie Fang’s body with thunderous force.
As the Holy Mother, Xiao Mei Niang did not kneel, but bowed her head respectfully, palms upraised in reverence.
Cheng Zhiming was anxious. He firmly believed the child had been sedated, which explained the deep sleep.
