Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 919 - 257: Core Demands_3

The only valuable thing is the Qi Blood Energy inside the Stone Cauldron.

This was something it requested the host to create, intended to assist the host in cultivating the very powerful aftereffect Magic Techniques.

After it drained the host dry, the remaining blood in the cauldron became a transit station, thinking that it was engaging in activities in the Pale Continent Region, and assuming that if a crisis occurs in the future, it can build a few more resource rooms to use for healing and hiding.

Unexpectedly, it was really used this time.

Upon hearing the Overlord Sword agree, Jiang Cheng acted decisively.

He initiated decomposition and swept away the items on the three-layered stone altar into the Space Bag.

Even if he can't use it himself, he can put it up in the Trading House, or at least sacrifice to Brother Emperor Zhao in exchange for sacrificial power.

An initial estimate suggests that the items here are worth about 10,000 sacrificial powers, which is significantly less compared to the Blood Pool Treasure Vault discovered by the Little Mage and even the Dark Race Treasure Vault of the director.

Yet, it is still a considerable extra income.

Seeing Jiang Cheng remove the items from the stone altar, the Overlord Sword curiously inquired:

"Do you possess Space Department tools?"

Facing the inquiry, Jiang Cheng, who had already packed everything into his Space Bag, nodded:

"This is the only remaining treasure of my Skyfire Clan, used for storing items."

As he spoke, Jiang Cheng pointed towards the ring in his hand, which was actually a rune resonance weapon.

The perception from Overlord Sword scanned towards the ring and then was shocked to discover that there seemed to be a material on this thing that contained Rule Energy.

But what exactly it was, it couldn't be decomposed through perception.

Greed instantly floated to the surface of its heart.

In its mind, it decided to take this ring, which is attached with some Rule Power, into its pouch after tricking Jiang Cheng.

After leaving the resource vault, Overlord Sword once again had the idea of hunting.

It wanted to test whether its partially restored power can now obtain power through hunting.

If it's still unsuccessful, perhaps only by returning to the clan land can it find a solution to the hidden troubles.

"Since senior wants, we shall continue hunting," Jiang Cheng agreed respectfully.

Though he agreed verbally, he did not intend to let Overlord Sword absorb even a strand of Qi Blood Energy.

The current goal is very clear, which is to find the specific coordinate location of Overlord Sword's clan land.

Faced with unresolved issues, normal thinking is to seek help from elders, family members, friends.

Even for them players, it's the same.

If encountering a problem that can't be solved, the first thought is to go on forums to seek help.

So he will not let Overlord Sword succeed, he must continue to create dilemmas.

Make Overlord Sword completely desperate, give up trying further, and turn to seek help from its clan members.

By then, he will have the opportunity to get in touch with the Divine Artifact Clan.

With specific coordinates, capturing the Divine Artifact Rule is just a matter of time.

Soon, they found a hunting target in the desert.

A giant scorpion with Hunting Level 28.

When Overlord Sword pierced the first Sandhill Scorpion, its body burst instantly, and the essence of blood and flesh automatically transformed into a blood mist that was absorbed by Jiang Cheng.

But in Overlord Sword's eyes, it was another scene altogether, as if the scorpion was pulverized by some invisible force, turning into powder that followed the yellow sand flying into the distance, disappearing in the hot wind.

Strange!

The emotional fluctuations from Overlord Sword exuded anxiety.

Now that it has recovered one-half of its strength, it had thought that this hunt would go smoothly.

Unexpectedly, the problem still hasn't been solved.

It doesn't even know how to solve this problem.

What can be determined is that it can still absorb Qi Blood Energy to restore its own power.

It's just that there's a problem with hunting absorption, negative emotion absorption.

Thinking about it this way, the problem most likely lies in the derived rule imprint of the Divine Artifact.

Perhaps the "derived rule imprint" within its body experienced some unexpected changes due to a strike from the Purple-skinned Evil Demon, causing the derived rule imprint to malfunction.

This problem might only have a solution by returning to the clan land.

Having completed the kill, Jiang Cheng then feigned concern and asked:

"Senior, is the recovery going smoothly?"

"Try again."

"Alright."

Jiang Cheng agreed decisively.

If Overlord Sword wants to try, he will let Overlord Sword try as much as he wants.

Try till the point where Overlord Sword starts doubting itself, thinking it is useless.

The ultimate despair is not having no chance to try, but is the fact that after countless attempts, still ending in failure.

Proving that it's not that you didn't have the chance, but that you couldn't seize it when given the chance.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Cheng continued hunting.

He killed the second, third prey...

With each hunt, Jiang Cheng released the Life Soul Characteristic, making the energy that should have been absorbed by Overlord Sword strangely "evaporate" the moment it touched the sword's body.

During this period, he sped up the hunting pace, letting Overlord Sword have plenty of opportunities to feel every futile despair.

When the seventh desert giant lizard turned to ashes as well, the sword began to emit an unstable hum.

Those newly repaired cracks reappeared, and Jiang Cheng and Xia Sheng could clearly perceive the chaotic emotions emanating from Overlord Sword.

Confusion, anger, and... a hint of despair.

This brought pleasure to Jiang Cheng and Xia Sheng.

Just this broken sword wants to trick them players, but did not even ask if the players' Analysis Ability agrees.

Behind them players is a whole Rule System supporting them.

Trying to trick them players, far off.

Overlord Sword clearly didn't know that the prey in its eyes was fundamentally outside its scope of understanding.

Players, what are they? They are beings with Infinite Expanding Talent who can accommodate even the Primordial Monsters representing the world's basic rules.

Are hidden natural disasters capable of fighting against Black Tide and Insect Tide thanks to the "resurrection mechanism."

Overlord Sword's methods of mind-manipulation may work on ordinary NPCs in Monster World, but not on them players.

Sorry, they are not susceptible to plot kills.

All of Overlord Sword's enticing words, in Jiang Cheng and Xia Sheng's eyes, are just skippable plot content.

Essentially, Overlord Sword doesn't even have the qualification to be a rival.

From beginning to end, it's just a game of playing dumb to nail a tiger.

If it weren't for the fact there is value in Overlord Sword, it would now have already died in the extreme pain inflicted by the "Touch of Pain."

Maybe the materials have already been put up for auction in the Trading House, fetched at a high price by some player.

Multiple attempts leading to failure, the thoroughly desperate Overlord Sword finally spoke the words Jiang Cheng and Xia Sheng had longed to hear:

"Skyfire, I have a request."

"Senior, please speak."

"I have slumbered for three thousand years, and seemed to have experienced some unforeseen changes in my body, now perhaps needing to travel to the clan land for convalescence, but the journey is rather long, would you be willing to escort me there?"

"No problem." Jiang Cheng agreed without hesitation, but in reality, he was overjoyed.

Spending a lot of time with Overlord Sword like this is actually their core pursuit.

Find the nest, then wait for the opportunity to blow the nest up!

Buying it is out of the question, only taking it by force can resolve the problem.
