Chapter 622: Chapter 339 Red Sleeve Qiluo_2

Unfortunately, Mu You would never let it escape. A Holy Light spell shine down coupled with a Nether Fire blast directly let the ghost shadow completely dissipate.

As the ghost shadow disappeared, the residual energy in its body coalesced into a fingernail-sized crystal in mid-air and fell to the ground.

Mu You picked it up and looked at it.

[Soul Suppression Stone: A special crystal formed by the dissipated energy after the death of the Soul Devouring Beast. After use, it can soothe the soul and permanently increase the magic limit by 10 points.]

"Permanently increase magic power..."

Mu You was momentarily stunned.

A single stone could increase the magic limit by only 10 points, which was quite small. However, the issue was that there were no restrictions mentioned in the instructions.

This meant, as long as he kept obtaining these, wouldn’t he be able to infinitely increase his magic power?

Of course, Soul Devouring Beasts could only be found in this place, and the chances of these mutated beasts appearing were quite low. There were at least thousands of ghost shadows on the scene, but only one mutant had appeared. Even if the Soul Suppression Stone itself had no limits, its source was indeed limited.

"Let’s keep going first..." Mu You shook his head and said.

"This way." Lin Xue nodded, pointing in one direction. That was the final destination the sickle guided her to.

Mu You glanced at the fragment of the map. The direction she was pointing was significantly different from the one the arrow on the map was indicating. But their destinations were the same in the end, and they would ultimately reach the same place by different paths.

In the following journey, while they rushed along, Mu You continued to search for mutated Soul Devouring Beasts around them with his mind’s eye. Each time he found one, he would use the same tactic: he would lure it away from Lin Xue and counterkill.

Regrettably, these creatures were really rare. After rushing for more than two hours, they only encountered about 120 mutants. Even if they used all of them, they could only raise the magic limit by just over a thousand points.

If Mu You had enough time, he wouldn’t mind catching all the Soul Devouring Beasts inside. Unfortunately, they only had a short five hours. Once they left, they likely wouldn’t have the opportunity to enter here again.

Mu You shook his head, returning to the matter at hand. After two hours of rushing, they had finally approached their destination.

Looking up, a colossal mountain peak rose from the ground in front. The overall shape looked like a gigantic skull, particularly conspicuous on this barren plain.

However, although they had spotted their target, there was still a considerable distance to cover to get there.

At this moment, Mu You noticed that the arrow on the map fragment had stopped moving and started to vibrate slightly in one direction.

"It seems like they’re coming to us!" Mu You said to Lin Xue.

He had experienced this situation twice before. The other fragment was definitely heading straight towards him.

Clearly, the others had realized that they were not far away, so they chose to rush towards them!

"What should we do?" Lin Xue asked, slightly tightening her grip on her sickle.

The others’ actions clearly showed that they were preparing for a decisive battle before approaching the core area.

"Hmm...you guys hide first, and I will set up an ambush to probe them." Mu You thought for a moment.

The opponents were coming straight for the fragment, and their numbers were unknown. Without understanding their capabilities, it was best not to reveal too much information about themselves.

Mu You relied on his numerous lifesaving measures, preparing to probe with the mechanical armor skin first.

Mu You handed the pocket watch to Vivian and watched as the three of them moved away to hide behind a mound a few hundred meters away.

He then switched to his mechanical armor skin, releasing numerous sand spiders to explore the ground around him.

Soon, the sand spiders sent back the image of the target: a woman in red with a noticeable bulge in her lower abdomen. The ID hovering above her head read: Red Sleeve Qiluo. This seemed to be her real initial ID.

Mu You had the sand spiders continue to probe. However, the woman seemed to be alone, as there were no other figures detected around her.

He didn’t know why this woman would act alone, but this was good news for them.

Mu You activated the disguise mode of the cleaning robot. He specifically made the exterior look like a heavily rusted robot on the brink of being scrapped, half-buried irregularly in the soil, looking like a piece of garbage discarded for many years.

As for the map fragment, he casually threw it in front of him on the ground.

Through the surveillance perspective of the sand spider, the red-clothed woman soon appeared nearby, running hurriedly with a map in one hand and a chain in the other.

However, when she came within a hundred meters, and saw the casually discarded map fragment on the ground ahead, she was taken aback, stopping at a distance, looking around cautiously.

No choice, this scene was too much like a trap!

The woman in red circled cautiously at a distance for a while without finding anything amiss. The chain in her hand also showed no reaction, telling her that there were no living creatures in front of her, which eased her concerns.

But the woman in red still didn’t choose to approach, and instead stood far away, throwing out the chain in her hand.

The chain extended like a spirit snake, rapidly stretching out to a hundred meters, heading straight for the fragment on the ground, seemingly intending to hook the map directly back.

Mu You was waiting for this opportunity. The moment the chain flew in, he suddenly sprang up, and his robotic arm caught the chain.

The moment he touched the chain, Mu You deliberately let the chain’s spike scrape across his arm, leaving a scratch.

As a result, the Mecha did not react at all, and his soul was also unaffected.

Mu You was immediately reassured.

He had previously given the pocket watch to Vivian so she could help control the situation. If the chain could cause crippling damage to the mechanical armor skin, she would immediately do a time reversal and he would take different measures.
