Chapter 916: Price Negotiation
Sha chewed on the soul Crystal and swallowed the fragments.
— This taste of freedom... " The corners of Sha's mouth turned up, and a bit of black mist flew out from her body, and it gradually dispersed into the air.
Seeing this black mist, Su Xiao narrowed his eyes. He didn't know what that black mist was, but after it left Sha's body, Su Xiao felt that it had become stronger.
To be precise, she didn't actually become stronger, but rather her aura became more lively, just like herself.
— It seems that this 'pure soul' has helped you a lot, "Su Xiao said, roughly guessing something.
— Of course, if I have enough pure souls, I can regain my freedom and break free from Alice's control.
Sha didn't hide it.
After enjoying this wonderful feeling, she sat down on the bed and crossed her legs.
— That bitch put a seal on me. If it was a seal that I couldn't get rid of, I would have killed myself long ago, but that bitch is too smart, she gave me a glimmer of hope. As long as I absorb pure souls, the seal on my body will gradually weaken until it eventually disappears, and then I will regain my freedom.
— And not just me — everyone else in the castle is the same. Anliya breaks her seal with candy. Getting candy in such a place is relatively difficult, so she can only eat three candies a day at most, but since this little girl likes to stock up, she always has some candy for a rainy day. A bat needs human blood, and the right type of blood, and it needs to be extracted from a sufficiently strong creature. One jerk needs holy items, and these so-called holy items...
Sha was brave. Although she was a woman, she was more like a man in her temperament and disposition, especially if you added her abilities and skills, but her body would immediately give her away, because even if she disguised herself as a man, anyone would immediately know that this was a woman in disguise.
From Sha's story, Su Xiao learned about the first floor of the Demonic Castle. With the exception of the "game room", all the other rooms were " cages».
A total of 48 creatures now lived on the first floor. They were all from different worlds, were from different races, and all had unique abilities.
Not every first comer had the right to be imprisoned in this castle, so they were all strong.
But until these prisoners are released from the seal, they will not be able to leave their rooms or the castle, otherwise, if they try to escape, they will be killed by the wolf butler or Gallu.
Wolf Butler and Gallu were not prisoners. They were more like the "maintenance staff" of this castle who reported directly to Alice.
Some of the prisoners were too stubborn and unwilling to obey Alice's rules, and usually they simply did not react to the arrival of guests or were not interested in making deals.
Even with letters of recommendation, they were difficult to approach.
Some prisoners had already accepted their fate and just hoped that they could be released as soon as possible, for example, like the little hamster Anliya.
There were also some prisoners who faced a dilemma. They had been in the cages for too long and wanted to remove the seals, but they didn't want to ask Alice to relax their conditions, for example, such a prisoner was Sha.
At the very beginning, the Sha set two conditions for making a deal: the other side had to be strong enough and at the same time pleasing to the eye.
Su Xiao was the type of guy who was quite strong but wasn't very pleasant to look at, but since he had so many letters of recommendation, Sha couldn't chase him away even though she really wanted to.
Deciding to vent her displeasure, Sha decided to beat up Su Xiao, but after the first clash, she was forced to negotiate.
— Because of the principle of fair trade, you must give me pure souls, and in return, I will teach you one of my skills. I don't know much, I only know how to kill with it, " Sha said and raised her fist.
— I'm not really interested in hand-to-hand combat. I kill my enemies mostly with this, " Su Xiao said and tapped the Dragon Flash scabbard with his finger.
— Tsk, a weak guy who relies on external things... " Sha was clearly mocking Su Xiao's fighting style, but she didn't have anything to laugh about.
There was a thirty-centimeter scar on Sha's collarbone. Upon seeing it for the first time, Su Xiao immediately knew that it was from a sword blade.
No matter what angle one looked at it from, Su Xiao's sword skill helped him kill, and his sword wasn't a foreign object. When he held the sword, the Dragon Flash became an extension of his arm. He could even feel the breeze on the tip of Dragon Flash's blade.
The reason why Sha said something like that is most likely because she wanted to somehow hurt one of the people who almost killed her in the past.
— Not interested in hand-to-hand combat? Then what do you want to learn? The meaning of my two strongest abilities is in punching. If you don't want to learn hand — to-hand combat, then I can't teach you anything, " Sha said, looking like she didn't want to break the seal at all.
— I want your animal instincts.
— This is intuition, not instinct. Instincts and intuition are two different things. Intuition allows you to feel the danger in advance, while instincts allow you to get a better perception of the battle..
— It doesn't matter how you teach me this ability? And how much does it cost?
Su Xiao fell in love with Sha's "Animal Intuition". And no, he didn't even look at "Mad Scorpion Tail Swing" because of its level. It was certainly very powerful, but it wasn't suitable for Su Xiao.
Some skills, regardless of their strength, will be useless in the hands of someone who simply cannot use them for their intended purpose..
In total, Sha had two abilities that Su Xiao liked, namely:
[Skill 3: Animal Intuition (Level 59; Passive).
Skill 4: Combat Prowess (Level 53; Passive).]
As for the level 67 "Melee Master", this ability seemed quite suitable for Su Xiao, but it actually wasn't. Each person had their own inclinations for fighting, and Su Xiao's sword was one of them — in close combat, he often wielded only a sword.
Sha had a similar situation. Her "Melee Master" did a slant on hand and foot attacks and had nothing to do with swordsmanship.
— Animal intuition… Are you sure?
Hearing her tone, Bubtney involuntarily took a few steps back.
— Of course.
— Then don't blame me if you die. Besides, if you want me to impart this ability to you, one soul won't be enough.
— Voice the price.
— A hundred of the ones you gave me earlier.
— Two.
— Hundred.
Hearing the two people's" negotiation", Bubtney rolled his eyes.
His eyes seemed to want to complain: "Isn't the price difference too big? This is due to the lack of an intermediary?»
After a while, they finally made a deal.
She would teach him this skill for seven small soul crystals.
Su Xiao had previously thought that the first floor of the Demonic Castle was somewhat similar to the Heaven Testing Hall, but now it turned out that this was not the case.
In the trial hall, it was difficult to get a new skill. As much as possible, you could improve your existing skills.
But even on the first floor of the Demonic Castle, one could learn new skills. Of course, you could only get new skills if you had enough funds.
