Chapter 176: The Other Transcendent Items
Splash… Splash…
Under the sunlight, at the bottom of the cliffs, the fog that covered Sludge Monsters’ settlement was already gone.
At this moment, a tide was rising at the edge of the canyon that adjoined the sea.
In the blood-red seawater, large shoals of fish and monsters of various sizes were eagerly swimming into the canyon.
It was because in the canyon where the tide had risen to the highest altitude, Ruan Xiaoer, who was wearing the Tiger Shark Battle Suit, was holding the Tiger Shark Saber that had been strengthened to Extraordinary Rank-5 by the Stone of Civilization and playing with a ball that was greasy and ablaze of flames, making its smell spread far away in the water!
It was exactly the Shark Oil, the third of the spoils Ji Ye got after killing the tiger-striped shark. It could attract a lot of creatures when it was burned in the water!
At this moment in the seawater, there were more than a hundred sea beasts that were more than two meters long, almost a thousand sea monsters that were more than a foot long, and countless small and common fish.
Boom! Boom!
When the Extraordinary sea beasts collided, they attacked each other with Extraordinary power, making the water now freeze and now boil.
However, during their battle, those sea beasts discovered, to their surprise, that the seawater that they were in seemed to be dropping quickly.
Roar!
That was because Ji Ye had already waved the Jade Dragon Sword in his hand at the end of the canyon and established a “trench” in the rising seawater.
“Set up the wall!”
Ji Ye gave out a command.
Pop! Crackle!
A lot of sand was thrown into the trench from the cliffs on two sides.
Each grain of sand was as huge as a thumb. After they were dropped into the seawater, they quickly expanded into yellow stones the size of half a head!
More importantly, when the grains of sand touched each other, they stuck to each other without leaving any gap.
In the blink of an eye, a yellow “dam” was raised in the seawater and blocked the fish and sea beasts’ way back.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
As the shadows of sticks flashed, Lu Junyi jumped down from the cliff and landed on the dam.
Boosted by his Extraordinary power, his Qilin Stick became more than ten meters long and hit the sea monsters, which had been half exposed to the air after the water level plummeted.
Pop, pop, pop!
[You have killed a Sea Soul Turtle (Extraordinary Rank-1 Elite). EXP received: 97…]
[You have killed a Scaled Turtle (Ordinary Rank-7 Common). EXP received: …]
[You have killed a Hundred-Eye Octopus…]
Even though the turtles were protected by hard shells, they were still squished into pulps of flesh and blood by the sticks.
This Extraordinary Rank-5 Perfect weapon was truly “perfect” in the hands of the Jade Qilin.
“Hooooo!”
However, some of the trapped sea monsters were quite strong and had even mastered special Extraordinary powers.
Hum!
A creature more than two meters long that looked like a squid fled to the dam and spurted out a tremendous amount of black substance, which turned into a dozen squids that were identical to itself.
Then, all the squids jumped from the seawater as it hoped to escape in disguise!
Pew!
However, while it was still in midair, an armor-piercing heavy arrow that was also black had been shot from two hundred meters away and hit the real self of this Extraordinary Quasi Commander squid, which was even impaled on the yellow dam!
“Nice shot!”
After using the cell stimulus of the Golden Condor’s Boon, Yang Zhi, with his amazing eyesight, was holding a heavy black bow.
As a hero who was good with both bows and sabers, he had chosen to transform the Stone of Civilization he received after the completion of the Ten-Species Competition quest into this heavy bow and ten arrows!
The extraordinary part of this bow was that it could melt battle will into the arrows it shot out. Any person that was hit by the arrows would have to endure the dual attacks of the arrows and Yang Zhi’s battle will.
Clang, clang, clang!
On the other hand, an Extraordinary Flying Fish soared from the seawater and charged at Ji Ye in a streak of silver light. It was shot consecutively by a few bullets and golden arrows before it crashed on the dam and turned into a silver dagger.
“This is an interesting weapon!”
Apart from the golden bow, Yan Qing was holding a Viper Rifle that was in assault mode.
Although he had only practiced it for a couple of days, his bullets were already as precise as his arrows.
Boom! Boom!
Of course, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Ling Zhen, and the other chiefs in the Twin Dragon Mount fort all participated in this EXP harvest to level up.
It was partly to collect blood for the Bloodsoul Essence-breeding Method and partly for them to get more EXP and be prepared to enter the City of Humans.
After controlling the seawater to ebb, Ji Ye crazily absorbed the soul power that the dead sea beasts dispersed with the Soul Alpha Wolf and the Soul Mask!
“Soulblood Spirit Aggregation Art!”
In the Soul race’s territory on the other side of the canyon…
In where the destroyed Bloodsoul Vine Tree used to be, a huge amount of processed blood had been filled in the pit. Dozens of pieces of soul jade that were full of soul power were distributed in it too!
Ji Ye planted the seed of the Tree Demon that “sucked” his blood. Then he planted the four seeds of the Bloodsoul Vine Tree around it.
Theoretically speaking, those four trees should’ve grown to the point where they could be transplanted by the time he left the Battlefield of Providence.
Apart from the seed of the Tree Demon, Ji Ye also performed the Soulblood Spirit Aggregation Art on another item.
That was the Metal Men’s Silver Liquid Lake. Ji Ye had as much hope for that as he did for the seed of the Tree Demon.
Theoretically speaking, each of the ten alien settlements should have an item that contained Transcendent power.
However, at this moment, Ji Ye only had the Totem Wolf Skin, the Soul Mask, the Yellow Mallet, the Mirage Dragon Pearl, and the Void Ring. The other five items could’ve been destroyed by the aliens when they were desperate, but it was also possible that they hadn’t been found yet.
By Ji Ye’s estimation, the Transcendent items in the Sludge Monsters’ and the Soul race’s settlements might be related to the important resources that were yielded there!
The Black Mud and the Soul Jade were still being yielded in the Sludge Monsters’ and the Soul race’s settlements even though they had been destroyed probably because there were certain items that carried special features in those settlements.
It might also be the reason why the Metal Men’s Silver Liquid Lake could still generate blue electricity incessantly.
However, Ji Ye did not intend to really dig those items out!
That was because the Soul Jade, the Black Mud, and the Silver Liquid were all important resources for the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s development.
Once those Transcendent items were taken away, the productivity of the resources might be disrupted.
That was not just a speculation but had already been tested and confirmed.
After Meng Kang the Shipwright was summoned, Ji Ye chose to craft a Mirage Dragon warship, so he had the bones of the Mirage Dragon relocated from the Mirage Monsters’ settlement.
As a result, it was found that the resources such as the colorful bubbles and the mirage stones weren’t generated anymore, because those resources were actually based on the Mirage Dragon’s bones, just like how the Red Pips in the Twin Dragon Mount fort were yielded by the fruit trees and how the Stone Milk and the Frigid Iron came into being on the special terrains.
No resources could be generated out of thin air!
Besides, one had to pay for the things that they carried when they entered the City of Humans.
Ji Ye estimated that he would have to spend a fortune on the five items that carried Transcendent power, so it was truly unnecessary to bring all the ten items!
