Free Web NovelChapter 1228: Chapter 43: Boiling Blood
Inside the Iron Hand Mansion, Su Xiao put down the utensils in his hand, leaned back in the seat, and lit a cigarette.
"Burp～"
Bu Bu Wang let out a burp, with an expression that clearly said: "Finally alive again, I was nearly starving to death earlier."
Su Xiao exhaled a puff of blue smoke and took out a piece of parchment from his pocket. This was handed to him by the Old King before he died, and due to the urgency, the Old King only wrote three sentences.
’Sun and moon coexist, the throne can be opened.’
’Blood of the King · Elisa Herbert.’
’The tomb of the banished, never to rest in peace.’
...
The first sentence is not easy to understand. It should be some kind of mechanism on the throne.
As for the blood of the King in the second sentence, this part is easier to comprehend. What the Old King meant was for Su Xiao to take Elisa Herbert under the throne.
The information about Elisa Herbert is currently unknown, and whether or not to take her under the throne remains to be considered, as there are other potential candidates.
As for the third sentence the Old King wrote, it is completely incomprehensible. This could be critical information, or it might be a smoke bomb.
No one could fathom the Old Lion’s thoughts; this old guy just didn’t play by the rules. The good news is that this old guy is dead now.
Su Xiao hadn’t done anything against the members of the Royal Family before because he was guarding against this Old Lion. Now that the Old Lion is dead, even though the Third Prince is similarly not simple, he is far less formidable than the Old Lion.
What Su Xiao needs to do in the near future is quite simple: find a suitable Prince or Princess and take them under the throne to locate the "Destruction Stone," while the final "Stone of Magic" can only depend on luck.
He needs to secure at least two keys before heading to the territory of the Undead Clan to seek the Relic of the Annihilation Law. Regardless of the outcome, it’s unlikely Su Xiao will return to human territory once more.
Right now, the key is to find a Prince or Princess suitable to bring under the throne. The person shouldn’t be too old, which would greatly reduce the chances of encountering a cunning old fox. Additionally, the person should not be too strong in combat effectiveness, to prevent them from sabotaging Su Xiao under the throne.
However, before that, what Su Xiao needs more is rest.
Su Xiao got up and headed to the bedroom, with Bu Bu Wang and A Mu following closely behind, while two young girls began tidying up the dining table.
Upon returning to the bedroom, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, gesturing for A Mu to lock the door and guard the entrance.
Under the throne is definitely not a tourist attraction; it must be fraught with danger. Therefore, Su Xiao needs to enhance his strength as much as possible, and opening treasure chests is undoubtedly the best option right now.
Since entering this original world up to now, Su Xiao has obtained four treasure chests, which are:
[Treasure Chest (Legendary)], dropped by Holy Warrior Joseph Cole.
["Box of the Undead" (grade unknown, rare type treasure chest)], dropped by Undead Dunk Nick.
[Treasure Chest (gold)], dropped by Elite Undead Race.
[Treasure Chest (grade: ???)], dropped by the Old King.
...
Among the four treasure chests, without a doubt, the "Box of the Undead" and the [Treasure Chest (grade: ???)] are the most valuable. As for the Legendary treasure chest dropped by Holy Warrior Joseph Cole, it’s the quality bestowed by the original world.
Fate Redemption appeared in Su Xiao’s hand. The name of this equipment is very fitting, as it indeed redeemed Su Xiao’s "Hand of the Black Chief," temporarily boosting Su Xiao into a European King’s State.
The power of fortune released, and in a European King’s State, Su Xiao picked up the gold treasure chest placed on the bed, ready to try his luck with it first.
[You have opened the Treasure Chest (gold).]
[You have obtained 11,000 Paradise coins.]
[You have obtained 2,000 Paradise coins.]
[You have obtained Fang of Ejection (gold).]
...
[Fang of Ejection]
Origin: Xiya Continent · Undead Clan
Quality: Gold
Type: Disposable Item (hunting trap)
Effect: Can place the Fang of Ejection at any location. Once successfully placed, it will enter a disguise state. When any target triggers the Fang of Ejection (invincible self-determination), it will deal 600 damage to the target and forcibly imprison them in place for 2 to 10 seconds, determined by the target’s Power Attribute.
Note: After activation, Fang of Ejection can maintain its best state for 120 hours.
Note: If the Fang of Ejection is discovered, the internal mechanism will fully activate, causing Fang of Ejection to burst open, shooting metal sharp teeth within 10 meters around it. There are a total of 31 metal sharp teeth, each capable of inflicting 120 damage. If in a sealed state, all metal sharp teeth can eject 8 to 9 times, with each ejection increasing the damage value of the metal sharp teeth by 30%.
Rating: 328 points (golden item/material rating is 310 to 400 points)
Description: To realize its potential damage power, that will depend on the user’s wisdom.
Price: 98,500 Paradise coins
...
Su Xiao obtained a disposable item, and it’s quite interesting. If it’s simply setting the [Fang of Ejection] in a location and triggering it by an enemy, its power isn’t strong compared to even some light gold disposable items.
But if placed within a cave or room and detected by the enemy, its damage potential becomes astounding; given the right environment, it could even instantly kill a mid-to-high third-tier Contractor.
Having gained well, Su Xiao put away the [Fang of Ejection] and picked up the Legendary treasure chest, intending to open it without high expectations, such as obtaining Legendary gear or similar items.
[You have opened the Treasure Chest (Legendary).]
[You have obtained Legendary Honor ×1.]
[You have obtained 26,000 Paradise coins.]
[You have obtained Soul Crystal (Large) ×4.]
[You have obtained Boiling Blood Potion (gold).]
...
[Boiling Blood Potion]
Origin: World of Xiya fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Quality: Gold
Type: Enhancing Potion ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Effect: Immediately restores 50% of Life Value and 50% of Mana Value upon drinking, entering a boiling blood state.
Boiling Blood State: For every 1% of Life Value lost, increase Life Value recovery speed by 1 point per minute, up to a maximum increase of 150 points per minute. The effect lasts for 30 minutes.
Rating: 390 points
Description: Battles are meant to make the blood boil.
...
Su Xiao had anticipated not getting Legendary gear, but overall the gains are substantial. The Legendary Honor + Soul Crystal (Large) already mark a big profit. The [Boiling Blood Potion] is a lifesaver, perfectly suited for endurance battles.
With two treasure chests left, when comparing the Box of the Undead and the chest dropped by the Old King, stable returns are certainly higher from the "Box of the Undead," given the prowess of Dunk Nick; it is reasonable for him to drop a Legendary treasure chest, indicating a high tier for the "Box of the Undead."
As for the treasure chest dropped by the Old King, this item is intriguing; its quality is ???. It’s not that the quality of this treasure chest is so high that Su Xiao cannot see it, but that its potential yields are wildly variable.
This chest could potentially yield an item of extremely high value, like the [World Tree Ring], or something of white quality; its returns are highly unstable.
