Calamity Messenger
Chapter 190 - 150: Blood Steward Zhong Ji
"As expected, theyāre all polluted Demonic Path Tokens," Pharmacistās Wish sighed, "Thereās nothing good." ššæš²šš°ššš§ššš²š„.ššš
After Rabbit Heroine used the Torrential Rain Battle Technique to kill two people in succession, the remaining two finally realized they had no chance of winning and tried to flee separately but eventually failed. Rabbit Heroine took down one of them solo, then returned to help Pharmacistās Wish surround and kill the last one.
After each kill, there was naturally a loot check, but the most valuable things from Demonic Messengers were their weapons. Among them, there were even rare treasures, but unfortunately, they were all soul-bound Asura Tokens, useless to others and a waste of storage space.
As for other usable Tokens, without exception, they were trash, most being ordinary, with rarely any being exceptional.
"Big Sister, if you trust me, you can give me the spoils, and later I can exchange them with my brother for Spiritual Jade and split it with you."
Pharmacistās Wish handed the loot to Rabbit Heroine without hesitation, "Take them, just give me some Spiritual Jade casually."
"Iāll give you five thousand first, and the rest after exchanging," Rabbit Heroine said, "Donāt refuse, my brother always said, if youāre going to be greedy, be greedy for the big stuff, not for these petty profits."
"Your brother... is really right," Pharmacistās Wish smiled.
They werenāt in a hurry to move on but instead stayed in place to rest and repair the Tokens. Rabbit Heroine had just killed four Red Name Messengers solo, consuming nearly 800 Spiritual Jade, and the durability of the Hand of Melting Hundred Forms and the Seven-Star Sword had decreased considerably.
The core of this charged burst tactic was to unleash as many attacks as possible in a short time; attack speed was the key to everything. Therefore, the āDirect Hitā of the Hand of Melting Hundred Forms was almost never turned off. It was used about forty times just now, reducing the durability of the Hand of Melting Hundred Forms by over twenty and the Seven-Star Sword by over eighty. Any more and theyād break.
Fortunately, plenty of Pharmacist Glue was bought, which could cheaply repair the Tokens to 70% durability before using the precious Secret Realm Item Package to continue repairs. After all these miscellaneous stuff, Yan Qing spent over three thousand Spiritual Jade.
Although he didnāt lose money as a result, the premise was killing the opponent. If they hadnāt won or the opponent had escaped, it wouldāve been a pure loss.
Fortunately, he could cut a lot of chives by selling Secret Realm resources on the trading board; if it were in a game, this tactic would lead him to bankruptcy quickly.
Besides organizing spoils and repairing Tokens, Yan Qing had another unexpected gain.
He obtained five Asuraās Heads, and although he hadnāt completed the Asuraās Enemy achievement yet, his Colorless Slaughter Value exceeded one hundred, achieving the āColorless Asuraā milestone.
"Colorless Asura: Damage dealt to Blood-colored Asura players +5%, damage received from Blood-colored Asura players -5%. This milestone cannot co-exist with the Blood-colored Asura milestone."
"Based on your level, you can currently acquire the following Asura milestone information"
"Colorless Great Asura: You have over 1000 Colorless Slaughter Value points (121/1000)"
Huh? Whereās my Asura Token?
Yan Qing carefully looked at the milestone introduction, only to discover that Asura players had two routes. The first path was Blood-colored Asura, which would transform Tokens into Asura Tokens that could ignore defense, unpredictable and formidable. The second was Colorless Asura, focused on numerical suppression, overwhelming and straightforward.
Yan Qing had previously wondered why Asura Tokens were unique to the Demon Dao, thinking that killing a few Demonic Messengers as a Right Path Messenger should also yield over a hundred Slaughter Value. He hadnāt expected this complication. After all, ordinary players couldnāt just kill a few people with red names and then find their Tokens soul-bound and untradeable; losing Slaughter Value would even render them unusable.
However, this milestone was just right for the next segment, perfectly fitting Yan Qingās needs like a pillow to a sleepy head.
After a brief rest, they continued on their way and, upon reaching half the mountainside, Rabbit Heroine stopped Pharmacistās Wish.
"Ahead is terrain very suitable for an ambush," Pharmacistās Wish also noticed, "Itās inexplicably shaped like a valley on top of a mountain, with steep cliffs on both sides. Blocking the front and back would trap us like caged beasts."
"Not just that," Rabbit Heroine pointed above the cliffs, "There are Demonic Messengers lying in ambush above. Whether they plan to shoot or drop rocks, theyāre full of malicious intent. I didnāt see anyone else; theyāre probably hiding inside."
"Sister, whatās your plan?"
"Thereās no reason to walk into a trap knowingly. Letās deal with the ones above first."
"But this cliff is rather hard to climb," Pharmacistās Wish was troubled, "and thereās no climbing gear..."
"Hold on, Iāll find something."
Yan Qing logged out of Rabbit Heroineās account and accessed Jiang Shi and Mouse Monk: "I need a grappling rope for climbing, urgently."
Soon, Pharmacistās Wish saw Rabbit Heroine seemingly conjuring a bundle of grappling rope out of thin air. She tugged the rope. Though it couldnāt match White Foxās Snake Pattern Rope, it sufficed for the situation.
Five Demonic Messengers awaited on one side of the cliff, next to a huge rock clearly meant to block the mountain path. As Rabbit Heroine and Pharmacistās Wish approached within ten steps, they turned abruptly, "Who goes there?"
"Good people."
Good people coming to Shu Dao Mountain? The Demonic Messengers found it both laughable and infuriating, shouting, "Brothers, the fat sheep have come to us!" Then they sneered and charged toward Rabbit Heroine and Pharmacistās Wish.
Ten seconds later, as two Messengers were simultaneously slain by Rabbit Heroineās Seven-Star Sword, they realized something was wrong and decisively jumped off the cliff. With protective Tokens, theyād be hurt but not killed.
