Chapter 149: Chapter 5: Clearing the Ruins, the Appearance of Dao Mark! (6k words, please subscribe, more tonight)_2

"I would die without any regrets having witnessed such, gah! Kill me!"

Then, Song Nianhui’s blustery sword technique tore through the core of the Chang Tree Demon and unleashed the ultimate strike—

ዽ→R!

"This sword, beheads demons and monsters!"

Szzzt!

Two dazzling sapphires were sent flying by Song Nianhui; the Second-order Alien Species·Chang Tree Demon (excellent) lost its life.

"Two of them?"

Xu Shu was taken aback.

He had originally thought that inside the body of a First Rank monster, depending on the level, there would be several to a dozen "Magic Power Spiral Fluffs."

So for a Second Rank monster, like a level 24 top-ranked Second Order, it would be a single Erosion Crystal with 24 fluffs.

But now, it seemed that wasn’t the case?

In a flash before his eyes, a stream of information flooded his mind:

[Excellent, you’ve discovered another piece of knowledge from the Extraordinary World, let the Tai Chu Scroll answer you.]

[Common white-named monsters generally do not advance beyond First Rank level 12, at least green-named monsters are able to enter the Second Rank.]

[To promote from First Rank to Second Rank, a new level 1 Second Rank Erosion Crystal grows on top of the fully-levelled First Rank, and the two Erosion Crystals join together, their count becomes two.]

[Therefore, a level 13 Second Rank green-named monster, though only one level higher than a level 12 First Rank green-named monster, has significantly improved in strength—because it has undergone a ’point to line’ transformation!]

So that was it...

"No, what I’m actually concerned about is, since killing a Second Rank monster yields two Erosion Crystals, how are the Contribution Points calculated?"

"Speaking of which, I can’t access the Promotion Network inside the ruins..."

Xu Shu hadn’t taken off his underwear; he’d merely pulled it down, but with the Promotion Network being inaccessible, did it mean there was no service inside the ruins?

However, that wasn’t important.

Compared to pondering whether there was a disconnection, Xu Shu was more concerned about how to deal with Lady Hei Shan next.

This Yin Goddess, with such great desires, was naturally influenced by the Seven-color Taoist’s ’insatiable lust.’

In this way, Xu Shu could keep controlling her by continuously engaging in relations with her.

But after so long, she was still insatiable.

Xu Shu was frustrated—truly a battle of equals, matching wit with brawn! Could it be because he’d always kept Jingwei activated, she hadn’t received any nourishment?

Xu Shu wasn’t sure.

While continuing his relationship with Lady Hei Shan, Xu Shu also found time to help take down the Chang Tree Demon.

Its two Chang Demon Daoists were quickly focused down and eliminated.

Yan Qianhe and Yan Qianyun, they were merely transformed Chang Demons, not Extraordinary Species Path Transcendents, so there were no Curse Crystals in their bodies after death.

The absorbed Curse Seal became murky nothingness and merged with the world here, and their bodies were burned to ash by Yan Wumo’s flames, collected along with their Promotion Drives.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Even mightily ranked Transcendents from the Qingyun List, once dead, were just a handful of earth, no different from commoners.

Although Xu Shu was in the process of transcending, the sight of this dismal scene in front of him further stimulated his determination to grow stronger.

Strength, that was the foundation.

Nonetheless, the battle wasn’t over!

Those silent Ghost Soldiers below, who would not move, were being exterminated by Xu Shu’s teammates.

They were sitting ducks, and with one of the team members being a Second Order Night Watchman on the Taoist path specialized in catching ghosts, the Ghost Soldiers were falling one by one, bursting Erosion Crystals.

Xu Shu noticed that over ninety percent of their Erosion Crystals were white.

Suddenly, he felt a pain on his face.

"Liege, you must not stop," Lady Hei Shan slapped you.

[You slowed down, and she’s not satisfied. If this continues, she will kill you.]

[However, presumably your ’vibrant vitality’ won’t fade before your teammates finish off those Ghost Soldiers and come to relieve you of your troubles.]

[Well done, this dungeon run is flawless, Xie Xiaochan didn’t deceive you, she really did have the capability to speed through it.]

"Let them handle the Ghost Soldiers first, then help me with this Yin General?"

Xu Shu pondered.

Yet before that, he decided to test out his own idea.

"It’s about time."

Xu Shu noticed that more than sixty percent of the Ghost Soldiers had been decimated.

Next, even if he did play the Second Order Yin General to death, he would not fall into trouble again.

"Time to start..."

Xu Shu changed direction and charged headlong, bumping against the Goddess, through the pier above the lake, through the damp and crowded forest of Cryptomeria outside, and directly smashed her out of the forest, arriving at the entrance of the ruins.

Since he had been running around before, this move did not attract attention from others.

Once they were in a private, secluded place, Xu Shu took something from his waist, stopped in his tracks, standing next to the stele with the inscription "Private grievances fade dim, scent vanishes with light dreams returned."

"Goddess, I’m going to sing for you now," Xu Shu said while continuing the act, clearing his throat.

"A song for me?" Lady Hei Shan was puzzled.

Xu Shu then took out a white jade sculpture of the Narrow Sleeve Guanyin, first pressing hard on a protruding button.

"...Zzz..." the Narrow Sleeve Guanyin made a strange sound of a tape starting to load, at the same time her eyes opened, and her pupils, red and luscious like gemstones, stared at Hei Shan.

Seeing this, Xu Shu was delighted. Good, there’s a reaction, so let’s begin!

"Snap!"

He shoved the Narrow Sleeve Guanyin deep into the adorable veil of Lady Hei Shan, allowing them a face-to-face embrace!

Then...

Click, the sound of the tape getting stuck.

The buzzing noise suddenly stopped.

The Narrow Sleeve Guanyin’s eyes also closed.
