Chapter 277 - Tough Love (1)
“Then let’s fight and end this quickly!” Leng Ruoxue said to everyone present, and then she was the first to attack.
“Huh? How did this happen?” Leng Ruoxue was puzzled. Her fire-attribute spiritual power hit the bugs, but it seemed like an itch to them and actually didn’t leave the slightest mark on their bodies.
“Could they be immune to fire-attribute spiritual power?” Old Man guessed. If that was the case, it would be a big deal because most of them were fire-attribute spiritual power cultivators.
“Let me try.” Feng Zhan directly released his Southern Spirit Flame.
The extremely hot Southern Spirit Flame quickly burned one-third of the bugs to death, but their shells remained intact.
“What firm shells! Lass, the shells of these worms are definitely top-grade materials for making armor,” Old Zao said excitedly.
“Yeah.” Leng Ruoxue nodded in agreement and then summoned more than ten phoenixes.
“Feng Zhan, I’ll leave these nasty bugs to you,” Leng Ruoxue said to Feng Zhan. These bugs were not afraid of ordinary flames.
“Okay.” Feng Zhan directly ordered his clan members. After a few minutes, they wiped out all the bugs, leaving only their hard shells on the ground.
“Congratulations on passing the first level. You receive five hundred points.” The robotic voice sounded again.
“Five hundred points? What’s the use?” Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement.
Butterfly flew in front of Leng Ruoxue and explained, “Girl, you can exchange these points for rewards before you leave the mystic realm!”
“What are the rewards?” Old Man asked curiously.
“I don’t know either! Anyway, they are all good things that you need,” Butterfly said lightly as it fluttered in the air.
“Aren’t there any rewards for this level?” Leng Ruoxue said with some displeasure. She didn’t want to work for free!
“Girl, the shells of those bugs are your spoils of war!” Butterfly said cautiously, afraid that she would vent her anger on it.
“What’s the point of having the shells if you’re not an artificer?” Lin Liang pretended to be displeased. This mystic realm’s spirit was really too stingy.
“Even an artificer might not be able to use them!” Old Zao echoed hurriedly. He didn’t think that his flames would be hotter than the fire phoenixes’ Southern Spirit Flame.
“Yes,” Leng Qingtian and Old Man echoed in unison.
“But don’t you still have points? You can exchange them for things,” Butterfly said weakly. Boohoo… I’ve never encountered such difficult people! Who can save me!
“But we can only use the points if we’re still alive! Who knows if we can get out alive!” the Feng family’s first elder said coldly.
Seeing everyone’s dissatisfaction, Leng Ruoxue laughed in her heart. Haha! Everyone is so united!
“It’s not impossible to obtain other rewards as long as you defeat the beetle general.” The robotic voice sounded again.
“You have to let us know what we can obtain by defeating that bug general. Only then will we have the motivation!” Leng Ruoxue began to negotiate with the voice.
“You can obtain an additional ten thousand points,” the voice said.
“Not enough. We want physical rewards,” Leng Ruoxue said, asking for an exorbitant price. Hmph! This voice likely belongs to that whatever mystic realm’s spirit. Since it’s in charge of the entire mystic realm, it should have a lot of good things. Who else would we rob but it?
“Alright. What do you want? No more than ten items,” the robotic voice said through gritted teeth. It was obviously trembling from anger.
“Qing Jue, what should we order?” Leng Ruoxue immediately sent a voice transmission to Qing Jue. This little fellow was very experienced and knowledgeable, and he knew a lot of good things.
“Big Sister, there aren’t many good things in the mystic realms of low-level dimensions, so I only want these few items!” Qing Jue gave Leng Ruoxue a list.
“Uh! What are these things?” Leng Ruoxue’s forehead dripped with cold sweat. She admitted that she was a little ignorant because she actually didn’t recognize any of the things that Qing Jue told her.
“Big Sister, we will need these things when we go to other dimensions. Moreover, I am sure that it can produce these things,” Qing Jue said with a smile, looking like a cunning little fox.
“Uh! Okay then!”
Leng Ruoxue cut off the voice transmission with Qing Jue. Then she cleared her throat and said, “I want purple spirit grass, dragon core sand, ten-thousand-year-old green pearl…”
Leng Ruoxue listed ten items in one breath. With every piece, the voice seemed to tremble in anger…
“Alright, I want these things,” Leng Ruoxue said to the void.
“You… You…” The voice didn’t manage to form a complete sentence for a long while. It was obvious that it was extremely angry.
“What? You can’t bear to part with them?” Leng Ruoxue said mockingly.
Except for the angry voice, Leng Qingtian and the others, who were watching the commotion by the side, were all puzzled. They didn’t know what the things Xue’er listed were, but since she could make the voice so angry that it couldn’t finish speaking… Yeah! They should be good things!
“Alright, I will give you all the things you want as long as you can defeat the beetle general,” the voice said while suppressing its anger.
“We will definitely defeat that big bug,” Leng Ruoxue said confidently.
“Then I’ll wait and see.” After speaking, the voice directly disappeared.
“Xue’er, why hasn’t that bug come out yet?” Feng Moran couldn’t help asking after waiting for more than ten minutes.
“It’s probably a little slow because it’s too fat. Wait for it!” Leng Ruoxue said very kindly.
“Damn you, human! You’re the fat one!” An angry roar came from underground. Then the earth shook violently as a massive black-gold beetle crawled up slowly from the ground.
“A divine beast!” Old Man exclaimed. He didn’t expect this bug to be a divine beast. He couldn’t help feeling a little depressed as he thought about those ordinary beetles with abnormal defense just now.
