Chapter 581
"Thump... Thump..."
A human head and a headless corpse fell one after the other.
Beside his body, several glittering treasures were found.
Xia Lingyin, standing to the side, stared blankly at the scene.
A Grandmaster Rank expert, known as a humanoid mobile nuclear bomb on Blue Star, was killed just like that.
And... he died at the hands of an Expert Rank lord.
Everything before my eyes seemed so unreal.
[Successfully defeated Black Hawk City Deputy Lord: Victor Emory Lv45 (Overlord ★★★)!]
[Black Hawk City Reputation -10000]
[Based on your actions, Chaos Points +1000]
At this moment, Shen Xing looked at the system notification in front of him, somewhat surprised.
"They actually added a thousand Chaos Points... Why is that?"
The so-called 'Chaos Points' are from the previously acquired talent [Heart of the Benevolent King].
It is said that once you accumulate one million points, you can evolve again.
A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes; he decided to study the number later.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he pocketed all the spoils that had fallen to the ground.
[Obtained: Overlord Soul (Tier Five) *1]
[Received: Soul Crystal (Orange) *3]
[Received: 624 Greater Soul Stone]
[Obtained: Special Animal Hide Backpack (Purple)]
"Oh? Three more Soul Crystal dropped?"
Shen Xing was overjoyed.
He discovered that killing these Grandmaster Rank creatures seemed to consistently yield a few Soul Crystal.
If one can kill more Grandmaster Rank creatures, it would be a good way to quickly obtain Soul Crystal and break through to the Grandmaster Realm.
But he only thought about it.
After all, each Grandmaster Rank expert is incredibly powerful and possesses a trump card to protect themselves; taking them down is no easy feat.
Shen Xing snapped out of his thoughts and then opened his right hand.
A nearly transparent crystal, about the thickness of a finger, appeared in the palm of your hand.
A series of soul fluctuations emanated, bringing a cold touch.
I glanced at the attributes.
These Soul Crystal have essentially the same effect as the [Flame Dragon Soul Crystal] obtained previously.
One pill can accelerate the condensation of Primordial Soul by 10-20 years, and three pills guarantee a minimum of thirty years, which is quite good.
However, since this is just Common attribute Soul Crystal, it does not have the ability of the Flame Dragon Soul Crystal to add extra years to creatures of the corresponding attribute.
"Besides the Soul Crystal and that Tier Five Overlord Soul, a backpack also dropped this time; there might be some surprises inside."
After all, this is a backpack carried by a Grandmaster Rank expert.
Furthermore, the other party is the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City, and countless people usually offer him tributes, so he must be very wealthy.
"However, this guy probably didn't bring all his valuables with him."
"After all, it's just a purple backpack; it can't hold much."
Thinking of this, Shen Xing opened his backpack.
Several prompts appeared before my eyes.
[Received: 20,000 Vinar Gold Coin]
[Received: 30,000 Greater Soul Stone]
[Obtained: Skill Book - Black Hawk Soul Capture (Tier Five)]
[Obtained: Black Hawk City Deputy City Lord's Token (Unknown)]
[Obtained: Unknown Key *1]
"!!!"
Shen Xing was immediately startled, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
Goodness, I thought this guy didn't have much on him.
It now appears that the results have far exceeded my expectations.
A whopping 20,000 gold coins and 30,000 Greater Soul Stone —what does that even mean?
That's equivalent to 20 million silver coins and 15 million Soul Stone!
Just in time, Shen Xing was short of Soul Stone, so this was a good way to recover some health.
"This guy, as the deputy city lord, seems to be making quite a bit of money on the side."
"Moreover, this should only be a portion of his assets; most of his treasures are kept in the city or elsewhere."
"I really want to see just how much wealth this guy has."
"If I could get them all into my hands, I'd probably make a fortune."
Shen Xing thought to himself, feeling a little regretful.
But it's nothing, these tens of millions of silver coins and Soul Stone are all unexpected surprises.
Moreover, besides these basic resources, there are other treasures to be found.
Thinking of this, he opened his right hand, and a strong black aura surged forth.
A moment later, a book that was entirely black with a black eagle on the cover appeared in my hand.
I glanced at the attributes.
[Skill Book: Black Hawk Soul Capture]
[Rank: Tier Five]
[Type: Soul Skill]
[Effect: Activates the power of the Primordial Soul, transforming into a giant black eagle that directly attacks the enemy's soul.]
Those with weak soul defenses will have their souls stolen directly, and their bodies will die within a short time.
Even with strong soul defense, one will still suffer massive soul tearing damage, reducing attributes by 10% to 50% for a certain period of time.
Cooldown time: 1 hour
Each use consumes: 5 years of soul power.
"This is a soul skill... and judging from the attribute description, it seems to be the skill that guy just used on me."
Shen Xing's heart skipped a beat.
The so-called soul skill can be said to be a finishing move exclusive to Grandmaster Rank powerhouses.
However, it was emitted by the Primordial Soul, and most of it directly affected the soul level.
For example, this [Black Hawk Soul Capture].
Once hit, even the soul will be dragged away.
A body that has lost its soul will perish rapidly in a short period of time, which is equivalent to another type of instant death.
Even if their souls are not taken away, they will suffer enormous damage and fall into a prolonged state of weakness.
After all, injuries to the soul are different from injuries to the body.
Physical injuries can be quickly recovered through certain medicines and elixirs.
However, if the soul is injured, it can only slowly absorb soul power or recover with the help of some precious treasures, which is very troublesome.
Fortunately, Old Fordring was reliable enough to help Shen Xing block the attack.
Otherwise, even if he doesn't die, he will suffer severe injuries.
Similarly, such powerful abilities come at a hefty price.
"Take this [Black Hawk Soul Capture] for example; it consumes five years' worth of soul power in one use."
"It's equivalent to regressing your power by five years with each use."
"This deputy city lord of Black Hawk City is probably someone who barely broke through to the Grandmaster level; his Primordial Soul strength isn't high."
He only used this skill when he was almost dead.
"Otherwise, if we had used it on Kratos or Hellscream from the start, even if we could have won, it probably wouldn't have been so easy."
Shen Xing silently analyzed the situation, and once again marveled at the power of Grandmaster Rank expert.
Although I am now able to Execute Grandmaster, I must be careful and not underestimate anyone in the world.
Who knows, one day you might encounter a Grandmaster with extraordinary skills, and you'll be caught off guard and lose your life.
He made up his mind and then put the skill book back into his backpack.
Next, he continued to examine the next piece of loot, the [Black Hawk City Deputy City Lord's Token].
With a flick of his right hand, a palm-sized token appeared in his hand, the front of which was engraved with a black eagle with outstretched wings.
This thing works pretty well. Holding this token allows you to freely enter and exit most areas of Black Hawk City, and you can also mobilize the city's defense forces.
With this token, one can also enjoy discounts on goods within the Black Hawk City sphere of influence.
But it didn't help much.
After all, Shen Xing had already killed the deputy city lord, and Grandmaster Rank experts were the focus of attention for major cities.
The other party will likely receive the news soon.
If Shen Xing were to wander around Black Hawk City with this token at this moment, it would be like an old lady hanging herself—wanting to die.
"Continue, next item."
He put the token into his backpack and then took out his last piece of loot.
A bronze key with a rather unique design.
[The Unknown Key]
