Free Web NovelChapter 1244: Chapter 59: Silly Sweet Girl
Although Long Knife Handler · Void died in battle, the Green Flame continued to burn fiercely. This must be the Ghost Flame, a necessary condition to open the inner tomb passage.
Just after Su Xiaogang killed Long Knife Handler · Void, a notification appeared.
[You have killed Long Knife Handler · Void.]
[You have obtained Essence of Ancient Undead ×3.]
...
Three black crystal fragments appeared in Su Xiao’s hand. Killing Long Knife Handler · Void neither granted World Source nor dropped any Treasure Chest, and Su Xiao’s Soul Devourer Talent had already absorbed 200 mana points, thus no permanent mana increase.
Su Xiao examined the black crystal fragments in his hand. Each piece was about the size of a thumbnail, smooth to the touch, containing an energy he had never seen before.

...
Seeing the information of the Soul of the Dead, Su Xiao understood why only three Essences of the Dead were obtained after killing Long Knife Handler · Void.
Firstly, each essence equals 3% World Source or 80,000 Paradise coins. If neither is needed, you can also exchange them for a set Treasure Box at designated tomb locations.
Even if none of the three options are needed, they can be used directly to enhance one’s abilities, but at most only three can be used.
Su Xiao stored away the [Essence of Ancient Undead]. Even if it enhances one’s abilities, it cannot be used now. Based on past experience, using enhancement items is never a short process and should not be used in dangerous situations.
The number of [Essence of Ancient Undead] obtained equals the benefits Su Xiao can receive in the Xiya Temple. freewebnovёl.ƈom
The high World Source and Paradise Coins are tempting, not to mention the set Treasure Box and enhancing abilities. The more [Essence of Ancient Undead], the better.
Even if Su Xiao doesn’t use these in the Xiya Temple, he can save them and sell them in the trade market. Enhancement Potions or items are one of the best-selling kinds.
The reward for killing Long Knife Handler · Void seems generous, but don’t forget this was with Gos’s participation. Gos’s participation greatly reduced the benefits. If it were normal earnings, Long Knife Handler · Void would at least drop five to six Essences of the Dead, even if directly exchanged for Paradise coins, it would be over 400,000 in Paradise coin returns, let alone that the essence can sell for a higher price in the trade market.
The Xiya Temple indeed is a hidden area, just killing Long Knife Handler · Void yields such benefits.
Su Xiao wiped the blood off Dragon Slash, sheathed the long knife, and looked toward a distant metal archway.
This metal archway stood seven meters tall and four meters wide, lined with fist-sized holes. At the center was a flame pattern.
Based on Su Xiao’s estimation, opening this metal gate should require the scorching of the Ghost Flame.
"Woo～"
A sobbing sound came, the Silly White Sweet Princess was squatting on the ground, wiping her tears. In front of her on the ground was a pile of ashes, the ashes of Gos.
"He’s dead. Crying is useless, continue deeper into the tomb."
Su Xiao approached Elisa Herbert, who looked up at him with tearful eyes, like an abandoned small animal. Previously when Su Xiao kicked Gos, A Mu blocked Elisa’s view, as indicated by Bubu Wang.
In Elisa Herbert’s sight, Gos suddenly charged at Long Knife Handler · Void, then was surrounded and killed, dying from being outnumbered.
Earlier, Elisa wanted Su Xiao to support Gos. Su Xiao’s reason was that he was injured while fighting Long Knife Handler · Void and needed a moment to rest.
Even if Elisa knew the reason for Gos’s death, Su Xiao could handle it. The only difference was whether Elisa would cooperate in opening subsequent mechanisms.
"Move forward."
Su Xiao grabbed Elisa by the back of her collar, forcibly lifting her from the ground, making her stand.
"Gos he... he..."
Elisa sniffled. No wonder she was so upset; she had spent the most time with Gos.
"He’s dead."
Su Xiao had no consolation skills. Hearing this made Elisa’s tears start to swirl again.
"He died protecting me...", Elisa’s tears rolled down as she restrained herself from crying loudly.
"Don’t flatter yourself. He wanted out of the tomb."
As soon as Su Xiao finished, Elisa burst into tears, which gave Su Xiao a headache. Just as he hesitated whether to knock her out and take her away, Elisa’s crying weakened.
"My father and Gos are watching me from Heaven. I can’t let them down."
Though Elisa was a bit Silly White Sweet, her self-soothing skill was top-notch, a result of her introverted nature.
Bubu Wang rolled its eyes as if saying, "Your father and Gos aren’t good people, impossible in Heaven, especially your father; Hell might not even accept that Old Lion."
Elisa didn’t understand Bubu Wang’s meaning, thinking it comforted her, so she hugged Bubu Wang, her eyes reddening again.
Bang.
With a slight dull sound, Elisa fainted, and Su Xiao lifted her and tossed her to A Mu, as he had no time to waste here.
Su Xiao surveyed the surroundings but after a few dozen seconds, an unexpected situation arose.
"Woo～"
Elisa whimpered, waking up, which surprised Su Xiao, while Bubu Wang was utterly amazed.
"Did I fall asleep just now?"
Elisa looked at Su Xiao inquisitively, her eyes innocent, the scene unusually awkward.
Su Xiao didn’t knock Elisa out due to her special constitution and because he held back his power. If not careful, he could fracture her neck.
"Yes, you slept for ten hours."
Su Xiao already had a plan.
"Did I sleep that long?"
Elisa looked bewildered.
"We waited here ten hours for you to wake up."
"This..."
Elisa felt guilty, rubbing her slightly sore neck while struggling in A Mu’s hand, and A Mu released her.
Ignoring the guilty Elisa, Su Xiao took an iron rod from the Storage Space and placed it in the Ghost Flame, the rod quickly ignited.
Su Xiao walked to the metal archway, pressing the burning end of the iron rod against the metal gate; however, nothing happened.
The metal gate wasn’t affected by the scorching Green Flame. Instead, the iron rod in Su Xiao’s hand slowly burned to cinders.
"Uh..."
Elisa spoke weakly, sniffing as if she wanted to say something.
