Chapter 342: Chapter 340: 5 Million… Hidden Mission!
“You and Ming Linyuan are very much alike, or rather the exact opposite. He did not pass through the calamity and transformed from the Spiritual Clan to the Demon Clan. Whereas you have passed through the calamity, achieving Saint Rank in the Human Clan, so… wait a second, did you say you are now at the Saint Rank?!”
Sally was astounded!
“Yes,” Welly replied.
“But… how can there be a Saint Rank in a common Mortal Beast-grade continent?”
Zi Qi wanted to break through the peak of Spirit Rank, and he had to leave Continent 9908 to do it. But he was the Beast Emperor, and his responsibilities far outweighed his cultivation base.
In the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Districts, only the strength of the Eastern District could contend with the Dark Continent, and only Zi Qi could suppress the Beast Emperor and those various Demon Kings.
If he were to leave, one could imagine what kind of oppression the Beastmen would face under the Demon Beasts of the Dark Continent.
Sally had heard from Yu Yan before that after the Holy War ended, when Zi Qi returned to the Eastern District, the Demon Beasts had already started invading one town and one city at a time.
Later, she heard that when Zi Qi returned, they all fled back to the Dark Continent overnight.
If Zi Qi left Continent 9908, he could achieve a new realm elsewhere. But it’s a different story for Continent 9908 without Zi Qi.
Perhaps only when another Beast Emperor capable of replacing him emerges, can he finally be free.
Welly did not answer Sally’s question but instead asked, “Aren’t you worried about Yu Yan and Yin Zang?”
“They’ll be fine.” Sally had a great deal of confidence in their strength, “In our squad, I, as the captain, am the weakest link. Each of you can survive on your own in single combat.”
“Since you know you’re the weakest link, why do you always tell us to take care of ourselves?”
“I have the Offspring System, don’t I?” Sally said matter-of-factly, Xiaomei being her limitless trump card.
“Is it really that powerful? I’ve killed many females with the Offspring System, and it was basically like cutting vegetables.”
“…”
“Anyway, you don’t need to worry about me, I can take good care of myself.” Zi Qi’s instructions to Yu Yan and Yin Zang were to earn points first, the more the better. Only secondary was her safety.
Sally rolled up her sleeves, looking at the steadily increasing Holy War Points, “See, they’re hard at work.”
“This thing is really useful.”
“In a few days, the first phase of the Holy War will end. Where is this place?”
“It should be the far southwest of the continent.”
[Xiaomei?]
[Hmm?]
[… What are you busy with? What happened in Katro City?]
[Xiaomei is studying the Un-series Apocalypse. The seal in Katro City was broken by Shi Feifei, and what happened in the past is happening again. Host is now on Dusk Moon Continent, there is a hidden Holy War story mission here, do you want to go and earn points worth 5 million Holy War Points?]
[Go! I only earned 1 million Fertility Points for giving birth to Xiaoba, this mission, once converted into Fertility Points, would be worth five Xiaobas.]
[Okay, host, here’s the map.]
Sally took out the map and handed it to Welly, “Not sure whether to say we’re lucky or not, we stumbled upon a hidden story mission.”
“I thought we could have a rest.” Welly took the map.
…
Considering what Xiaomei said, he had just advanced and said, “Alright, then you cultivate, I’ll go by myself.”
“I can’t possibly let you go by yourself.” Welly casually put his hand on her slender waist, leaning down to read the map, “It’s not far, a teleport will do.”
Packing up the map, he scooped Sally up in a princess carry, took a step forward…
Sally’s vision became chaotic, and by the time she could see her surroundings clearly, they had already arrived at the destination.
Surrounded by mountains, there was a lake shaped like a lotus flower, its surface calm and clear as a vast mirror, reflecting the magnificent scenery of the lake and mountains.
“So beautiful,” Sally exclaimed, looking at the scenery.
Welly took off his shirt… His tall and beautiful figure, skin glowing white, and perfect streamlined musculature, though not bulky, had a beauty of youthful leanness.
He naturally began to wash the bloodstains from his shirt with the water of Lotus Lake.
Ripples after ripples spread out…
Sally, “You really know how to ruin the mood.”
“Isn’t water meant for cleaning?” After washing his shirt, Welly passed it to Sally, “Please dry this for me.”
“…” Sally took the shirt and used her Fire Elemental Power to dry off the moisture, “Quite good at giving orders, aren’t you?”
“That’s because I’m about to risk my life for you next.” Welly finished speaking, his hands conjured up several Lightning Balls, throwing them into Lotus Lake.
In an instant, the calm surface of the mirror-like lake turned into fragments as a huge monster rose from the ground.
The lake surface Sally had just been admiring turned out to be the monster’s carapace!
The lake transformed into columns of water snakes, lunging to swallow Sally and Welly.
Welly picked up Sally, Teleporting to evade the attack.
[Xiaomei, what level is this?]
[Saint Rank! Be careful, Host.]
“It’s up to you now.” Sally transformed into a little white mouse, using the Instantaneous Movement Talisman, she teleported to a nearby treetop.
In the moment Welly saw her beast form, his expression froze momentarily before he rapidly flashed away, leading the monster away from Sally.
The monster contracted its size but remained huge, resembling a mix of a snake and a turtle.
It moved with extraordinary agility, its long snake head flickering with a crimson tongue, closely pursuing Welly.
Welly suddenly vanished, reappearing underneath the belly of the Giant Serpent Lake Turtle.
In his hand was a pitch-black dagger, slashing towards the belly shell of the Giant Serpent Lake Turtle.
The shell was cut open… But being too thick, it didn’t harm the insides.
Realizing Welly was beneath it, the Giant Serpent Lake Turtle slammed down with force!
Welly, like a tiny ant, got pressed under the massive, hard turtle shell, with the ground deeply indented several meters…
Seeing this, Sally exclaimed in shock, “Welly—”
The Giant Serpent Lake Turtle, hearing the voice, looked in her direction, but couldn’t spot her even after looking for a long time.
Sally quickly ran down the trunk and charged at the Giant Serpent Lake Turtle.
The Giant Serpent Lake Turtle noticed Sally, its carapace opened, and blades of water rushed towards Sally slashing through the air.
Sally promptly dove into a hole and burrowed underground.
She moved through the soil towards the underbelly of the Giant Serpent Lake Turtle.
The System Map also opened, but with her being underground, it wasn’t very useful, barely showing a distance of twenty-plus meters.
“Huh? What’s that?” Sally paused.
In the System Map appeared an ancient-looking box.
Instantly, she veered towards the box, burrowing her way toward it…
On the Giant Serpent Lake Turtle’s side, a sudden excruciating pain burst from underneath, followed by a spout of blood shooting up like a column.
A blood-drenched figure flew out from the column, still clutching a golden, wriggling Beast Core in hand!
The Giant Serpent Lake Turtle, looking at the Beast Core, suddenly let out a roar that seemed to shake the heaven and earth in profound fury—
Welly stored away the Beast Core, his hands quickly forming seals, calling down Thunder Punishment after Thunder Punishment. Before long, the Giant Serpent Lake Turtle could no longer hold on, disintegrating into Spiritual Energy, vanishing between heaven and earth.
Welly, as well, could no longer hold out and fell straight down from the sky, crashing to the ground, unconscious.
Sally dug up to the box and then heard the Turtle’s roar! Instinctively curling into a ball, the surrounding clods of earth trembled and pressed in on her.
Once the roar stopped and the trembling ended, Sally thought of Welly and hurriedly sped up, digging forward…
