Chapter 70: Victory and Harvest

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hum!

The blood on the copper coin sword came into contact with a talisman seal on the ground. Instantly, a red light flowed through the entire area like an electric current.

In the next moment, the talisman array that was created from the mixture of Red Pip fruit and Blood Soil in the limestone crevices of the arena suddenly appeared. A large amount of red spirit fire rose from the cracks!

Sizzle!

A Soul hiding in a zombie antelope was roasted by the flames. Immediately, even its body that had been tempered by soul power was reduced to black ashes by the spirit fire.

Faced with the flames that were clearly fatal to them, the unintelligent Souls instinctively gathered towards the middle!

Splash!

The flames of the talismans continued to flow through the engraved runes towards the center. By the time most of the Soul creatures were forced into the arena, the people in Twin Dragon Mount had already retreated to the back of the shrine in accordance with their rehearsals.

Hum!

At this moment, a special flame secretly followed a certain path under the stone slab and silently burned towards the center of the arena like a trail of gunpowder.

The next moment, a stone slab with a mechanism activated and flipped over. Following that, a fist-sized black orb that was glowing red was flicked into the air.

Then, a flower of death bloomed!

It was the ultimate weapon condensed from 99,999 of the Alpha Wolf’s hardest fur—Wolf Annihilation!

This was an indescribable scene.

Across the entire arena, nearly a hundred thousand red-glowing black needles shot out like countless blood-colored sparks that blossomed in every corner.

Outside the shrine, the bright yellow power of providence formed a barrier, blocking the wolf fur needles that were comparable to steel needles. It protected the old and sickly humans inside as well as the players and soldiers hiding behind!

However, the Souls that were trapped in the talisman array clearly did not have the power of providence to defend themselves. Furthermore, because the wolf’s fur was fused with the wraith blood fog that was produced when the Blue Alpha Wolf died, its damage to soul creatures was not inferior to that of physical creatures.

This was a true death blow.

If it wasn’t single-use, Ji Ye estimated that its level or grade would only be higher.

With the appearance of Wolf Annihilation, the battle immediately came to an end.

Only a few Souls remained. Facing Lu Zhishen and Ninth Uncle who were no longer tied up, and the Soul Alpha Wolf who had killed the Soul inside the Twin-Winged Tiger and become stronger, as well as the soldiers that were charging over, it was impossible for them to resist!

...

[Killed Soul (Rank-7, Elite). EXP gained: 30. Honor gained: 9!]

[Killed Soul (Rank-5, Common). EXP gained: 10. Honor gained: 2!]

[Killed Soul (Extraordinary Rank-2, Elite). EXP gained: 130. Honor gained: 15!]

...

After the battle ended, the notification in his head finally appeared. For the first time, Ji Ye felt like he was watching a flood of notifications like in games.

Every Soul would provide at least 1 Honor point and a Soul of Civilization.

Oh, that’s not right.

Some of the Souls did not condense a Soul of Civilization after their deaths. Instead, they condensed the white “rocks” that were used by players from the second batch for the exchange of starter equipment at the settlement.

[Stone of Enlightenment]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-0]

[Rarity: Common]

[Description: A special stone condensed after the death of a Chosen One. It can be converted into something in your civilization by spending Honor points after the level up of a settlement’s core.]

It’s a Soul player!

Ji Ye understood.

After a player died, what condensed was not a Soul of Civilization, but a Stone of Civilization.

As the name suggested, it represented the cornerstone of a civilization. Therefore, it could be used to convert Honor points into the items of their own civilization!

However, there was another condition for an exchange. It needed the settlement to be leveled up first.

As for the method of leveling up the settlement, it was not complicated.

One way to advance through increasing the amount of light that shone on the human race from providence. Every human, be it a player or a native, could increase the settlement’s standing with providence. The higher the level or grade, the more they received. At a certain point, the settlement’s level could be elevated.

Another way was through plundering. By merging with another party’s “settlement core” that had reached a certain level, one’s settlement could directly level up.

Furthermore, to advance from Extraordinary Rank-1 to Extraordinary Rank-2, he had to fuse with an alien settlement.

However, the advantage was that he could directly obtain a hero-level Soul of Civilization!

These were all in Ji Ye’s mind after his victory in battle.

It was obvious that this battle was of great significance. Compared to just EXP and Honor, destroying an alien settlement and allowing Twin Dragon Mount to advantageously advance before others was most important!

Of course, there were also great losses.

Seven of the soldiers from Twin Dragon Mount had died, and more than twenty had been injured.

Xu Xue was among the dead players!

And after her death, due to the Soul Alpha Wolf’s attack, Mister Bug—one of the three white knights—managed to survive.

However, he kept cursing himself for being “bewitched” over the past few days. He was extremely vexed.

In fact, he could imagine that even if Xu Xue did not die at the hands of the tiger-like Commander, once she used up the thumb-sized purple perfume, she would probably not have a good end.

This female celebrity had chosen the wrong path from the very beginning. She used an item meant for beast taming as a way to control people.

In addition, Jiang Wenming was also dead.

Although he had received special treatment from Ji Ye after entering Twin Dragon Mount and had cultivated the Ordinary martial technique, Iron Skin, making his life-preservation means better than others, he still failed to survive the battle.

After all, the Souls were not pushovers who would not fight back. Although he had a protective talisman, he fought an Ordinary Rank-8 Elite Soul to an internecine outcome in the final stages of the battle.

Apart from that, after the Souls died, not many items dropped. However, many of them had the “offering” attribute.

For example, the Commander-level tiger-type zombie that had been refined into a mount by the Souls. Its wings that were swirling with blue flames had already changed attributes...

[Nether Tiger Wing*2]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-2]

[Rarity: Superior offering]

[Description: An intrinsic weapon produced by the Nether Tiger using all its ghost power. It has also been tempered by the Soul race’s soul power. It contains the Nether Tiger’s extreme resentment and violent nature of death. Only Superior heroes can subdue it.]

An Extraordinary, Superior offering was the highest grade and quality offering dropped by the Soul race.

“An offering related to a tiger. That’s great. I can finally invite Wu Song1!”

Although the remaining players were injured, they could not help but look excited when they saw this.

According to the Confederation Office’s speculation, some offerings related to heroes would increase the chances of inviting them.

For example, Ninth Uncle’s descent was most likely because the offering came from the Soul race.

Needless to say, a tiger was related to Wu Song.

In the eyes of scholars, the actions of Water Margin’s Lu Zhishen were more in line with the word ‘chivalry’.

However, in terms of popularity, only Wu Erlang could shoulder the responsibility.

However, there was a problem. According to the two old men’s speculation, if Wu Song were to descend at the current stage, the offering needed to reach the “Perfect” quality!

The two Nether Tiger Wings were only at the Superior stage.

If it was really used as a sacrificial offering, the chances of summoning a hero would mostly put it at the 25th ranked, “Winged Tiger” Lei Heng of the Heavenly Spirits. Or it could be “Black Whirlwind” Li Kui, who had once killed four tigers because of his mother despite his nickname not having anything to do with tigers.

Furthermore, if the two of them had been taken away by other Water Margin settlements, it was possible that there was nothing more than scums like “Multicolored Tiger” Yan Shun and “Stumpy Tiger” Wang Ying from the Earthly Fiends.

This was a conundrum, but...

I should put them in my room first. Two of the same wings. If I put them together, they might undergo some special changes...

Ji Ye checked his Talent Skill.

As he had fused with the wolf skin that contained extraordinary powers, the hourglass’s cooldown time was slower than before.

However, it could be used again in ten days at the latest.

Wu Song was his!
