NOVPUB54: Chapter 54: Millionaire
54 -54: Millionaire
The Yaksha, having missed its initial attack, abruptly rose its trident and launched a sideways sweep towards Ni Wudao.
“Bang!”
The powerful blow sent Ni Wudao flying into a wall, causing him to fall to the ground.
Then, at that very moment.
A massive icicle roared forth, destined to hit its mark.
It exploded on the Yaksha, and a pale blue frost rapidly spread over its body, considerably slowing it down.
Upon seeing his attack take effect, Jiu Kong, jubilant by the successful freezing, began madly gathering frosty elements from his surroundings into his ice fan. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
The fiery mage and the spearman, frightened by the sight of the frightful Yaksha, had their hair standing on end and hearts knocking against their ribs.
Fortunately, as humans, they’d seen their share of storms and horrors.
Emboldening themselves, they engaged their perilous adversary — the bloodthirsty Yaksha.
The staff in the Fire Mage’s hand was emitting an incredibly hot light.
A fireball, surrounded by three rings of purple flames, took shape instantaneously.
With the Fire Cannon’s rapid activation, it blasted towards the frozen Yaksha!
At the same time, the spearman had leapt into the air, darting forth with a Jump cut.
The Yaksha, baring itself to the impact of the fire cannon, acknowledged the incoming damage and let out a crazed, sky-reaching laughter.
He caught sight of the spearman soaring towards him.
The Yaksha swiftly sidestepped, dodging the spearman’s guaranteed strike.
It caught the spearman’s skull with a firm skeletal grip.
There wasn’t a single person who would doubt his ability to crush that skull!
Suddenly.
Laughing maniacally, the Yaksha dragged the spearman off the ground and hurled him towards a pristine gravestone.
“Boom!”
The gravestone exploded instantly as the Yaksha’s other skeletal hand rained down another blow.
A gold coffin, which was impacted by this powerful force, got catapulted into the air.
The Yaksha swept his foot, the tightly shut gold coffin lid got kicked away before it could touch the ground.
Suddenly, anomalies emerged!
The gold coffin that had just hit the ground burst into crimson flames, coloring the whole corridor in an intense scarlet light.
In a short moment, the red glow faded, and the gold coffins returned to its calm state.
The Yaksha then tossed the spearman from his grasp, throwing him directly into the coffin.
Soon afterward, the scream of the spearman, coupled with the sound of flesh being torn apart, emerged from within the gold coffin, sending chills down everyone’s spine!
“Run!”
Finally losing his nerve, Jiu Kong screamed, the icy-blue magic elements around his body scattering as he turned heel and fled!
Although Ni Wudao was hit once, he had shaken off the dizziness and climbed onto his feet.
Immediately he ran towards the teleport circle and entered the second layer of the Beast Tomb!
The Fire Mage, without waiting for Jiu Kong to order, followed Ni Wudao’s lead, running towards the teleport circle to the Beast King’s Tomb!
“Hee-hee~” “Hee-hee~”
As the two Yakshas cackled ominously, they locked their gaze onto the wavering teleport circle, disappearing as they stepped into it!
Jiu Kong, after running for a while, used his Town Recall Scroll and left the area, once he managed to escape the demon Yakshas’ hate range.
Once again, the entire tomb corridor fell into silence as though nothing had occurred, yet it hinted at the chaos that had ensued.
Just then, a little skeleton peeked out and tentatively scurried out.
This cautious skeleton was none other than Su Ran.
Taking advantage of the chaotic fight, Su Ran thoroughly plundered the entirety of the treasure-filled zone.
With great satisfaction, he swatted his tiny belly, then, as peace returned to the corridor, he sauntered out of the secret chamber.
Wow, quite a fight took place here.
Su Ran came near the teleport circle and observed the remnants of the fierce battle.
Holy smokes, they even blew up the grave, what in the world happened?
Did a corpse rise?
Hey, whats that glow on the ground?
Wow, two gold coffins!
These are premium coffins!
Leaping at this, Su Ran hurriedly shoved them into his belly, then turned to look at the many glowing objects scattered all over the floor.
“Infinite Money!”
Su Ran rushed over, directly threw himself on the hoard of money, gave it a kiss before tossing it into his urinary bladder.
“And Underworld Coins!” He stuffed them right in without a second word.
“Pond fire brick?
What the heck?
Take it, take it!”
“Tomb-pressing paper, joss papers, tomb grass…” For the first time, the little skeleton cast them aside, too much of that stuff wasn’t valuable any more.
The little skeleton continued its rummaging.
Wait, what’s this?
“Healing potion, mana potion, silver hero helmet, silver hero bracelet.” Whose player loot exploded now?
Hopefully not more bad luck from Ni Wudao?
What’s this?
Ha ha, it’s the Town Recall Scroll!
What a lucky break!
Su Ran grabbed it and immediately used the Town Recall Scroll.
“Whoosh!”
Just like that, Su Ran safely returned to his own territory—Skeleton Village.
The adventure at the Beast King’s Tomb was exciting and perilous.
The little skeleton was incredibly lucky and returned with a full load!
Upon hearing the news, Butler Liu ran over, greedily eyeing the bulging bladder of Su Ran.
The little skeleton didn’t mind Butler Liu’s gawping.
As was his custom, he summoned his avatar and began to pull out the treasures he’d obtained during the tomb exploration.
First, he tossed two pieces of unwanted silver equipment to Butler Liu, which got him 1200 wealth points.
He then pulled out three Night Pearls, three Fluorescent Beads, two Glass Beads, and one each of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Jade.
Butler Liu was beyond startled, his whole skeletal frame shivered as he tremulously touched the multi-colored gems.
He’d never seen such treasures in his entire afterlife!
“Lord, are you, are you going to donate all of this to the village?” Butler Liu’s voice was shaking.
“How do you calculate the wealth points?” Su Ran asked calmly.
“Let this old one do the calculations, do the calculations!” Butler Liu’s face was beaming, promising a miser’s delight, “Night Pearls and Fluorescent Beads both give 10,000 wealth points, Glass Beads give 20,000 wealth points, and Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Jade each give 5,000 wealth points.”
On doing the maths, Su Ran realized he had enough wealth points to develop his territory!
“Donate everything!” The Skeleton Lord’s spirit soared, handing over all his treasures to Butler Liu, who had eagerly been rubbing his hands together.
Butler Liu took them reverently, the treasures vanished as soon as he touched them, as if he was scared the Skeleton Lord would change his mind.
“Ding!
Congratulations player Skeleton for obtaining 120,000 wealth points!”
Ha ha, I’m a millionaire!
The Skeleton Lord laughed loudly, pulling up the territory attribute panel.
[Skeleton Village] Level 2 Territory
Population: 7/200 Houses: 6 Wealth Points: 121493 Protection: 29 days.
Upgrading this territory requires 20,000 wealth points.
“Upgrade!”
As soon as Su Ran confirmed the territory upgrade, the whole territory started to tremble and expand somewhat.
“Continue!”
Su Ran clicked the confirmation button to upgrade again.
Correspondingly, the territory of Skeleton Village expanded once more, enlarging the whole territory by one circle.
Su Ran had a sudden flash of ambition.
He wanted to upgrade his territory enough to cover the whole of Sinister Grave Ridge!
