Chapter 456: Harvest, Silver-tier 'Human-Faced Spider', Xiao Xi's Treasure Vault |
—Rare-tier [Rapier]
—Rare-tier [Liquor Storage Cabinet]
—Rare-tier [Golden Coffin]
...
Yu Yuan quickly emptied all the supplies from Derada's room.
As the final crate of Excellent-tier Blood Brew was moved into the Motel Main Guest Room.
Yu Yuan let out a sigh.
The supplies from just the room of a Bronze-tier peak Vampire were already richer than the assets of those high-ranking players.
Was this the foundation of Moon Shadow's Breath?
"A Bronze-tier peak Vampire should be enough for Miller and the others to research."
The second objective of this operation was achieved.
Then, continue...
Yu Yuan glanced back at the room, now completely empty.
The wine cabinet, bookshelf, and bathtub had all been taken by Yu Yuan.
No choice, those were all Rare-tier items, absolutely impossible to abandon.
Whether they would be useful or not, just take them.
As the door opened and closed again, Yu Yuan had already re-entered the Shadow Dimension, heading back towards the stone chamber where Xiao Xi was located.
He still had one final objective to accomplish this time.
As long as he completed the upcoming goal, he could do as he pleased, whether it was continuing to loot and wander, or directly returning to Green Forest City, it wouldn't matter.
The passages in the main tower remained dim, with only a few occasional glowing crystals illuminating the corridor corners.
Within the Shadow Dimension, Yu Yuan returned with practiced ease to the door of that stone chamber.
The Blood Slave Internal Guards in the corridor still stood guard silently.
However, Yu Yuan was examining these Internal Guards; their equipment was clearly exceptional, and all of a uniform style.
Xiao Xi must have a complete equipment production line.
If he could move this entire production line back to Green Forest City, wouldn't that be like upgrading from a musket to a cannon overnight?
He let his mind wander as he waited for an opportunity.
He checked the time.
Thirteen hours remained until the teleportation departure.
Finally, half an hour later, the stone door opened again.
Yu Yuan immediately slipped into the stone chamber, also communicating with Zhi Zhi in his mind.
"Zhi Zhi, when will the Shadow Dimension be able to ignore the obstacles of the real world and travel freely?"
"Master, I'm not sure about that either."
Alright! Yu Yuan couldn't force it.
The Vampire in the black tailcoat he had seen before walked out of the stone chamber.
Judging by the smile on his face, the conversation had clearly gone well.
Especially after he stepped out of the stone door, he actually turned back again to bow respectfully to Xiao Xi.
Elegant indeed, but Yu Yuan also caught a trace of admiration in his eyes.
Yu Yuan's eyebrow twitched.
"How interesting!"
Xiao Xi gave a slight nod.
As the stone door closed, only Xiao Xi remained in the stone chamber.
She lowered her head, deep in thought.
Yu Yuan was also pondering whether there was a possibility of subduing her.
But remembering how he had almost failed when trying to control Derada.
And looking at the current scene where Xiao Xi was.
The coffin, the blood pool...
Yu Yuan didn't believe they were just for show.
That Golden Coffin in Derada's room earlier was already Rare-tier, and even that had defensive, healing, and restorative effects.
This White Jade Coffin behind Xiao Xi was, at minimum, an Epic-tier artifact.
Moreover, Xiao Xi, a Silver-tier being, the woman who had suppressed the Wolf Clan, how could she be easily subdued by him?
That would be far too underestimating the Blood Clan, far too underestimating the Wolf Clan.
As for the [Dawnbreak] that Mie Mie had newly obtained, only one wisp of [Dawnbreak] spiritual light had been collected so far, making the possibility of subduing Xiao Xi not very high.
"Forget it, let's stick to the plan!"
Suppressing such unrealistic thoughts, Yu Yuan opened the Virtual Light Screen—the Book of Fate.
"Then let's proceed according to the original plan!" His gaze fell on one of the Silver-tier cards.
The previous capture of the Vampire and plundering of supplies were trivial matters, things done in passing.
This was his true purpose for sneaking into this world.
—[Intelligence Card — Slander]
Quality: Silver
Function: Using this card allows the user to frame a target, spread distorted facts, fabricated falsehoods, or twisted content within the target's interpersonal network, to slander and defame them, damaging their image and the trust others, especially superiors, have in them.
(Friendly Reminder: The grade of the target framed by this card cannot exceed Silver-tier.)
Xiao Xi's life level happened to be exactly Silver-tier, making her the perfect target for this card.
"Zhi Zhi, activate... wait."
Yu Yuan was about to have Zhi Zhi activate the Shadow Dimension but suddenly called a halt.
Because Xiao Xi's gaze had actually turned towards the ceiling of the stone chamber, followed by her clear, cold voice ringing out.
"Darling, are you also getting a little impatient!"
Following Xiao Xi's gaze, Yu Yuan then noticed there was actually a fist-sized spider there.
The spider's entire body was black, but upon closer inspection, one could see thin silver thread patterns on both its spider legs and abdomen.
It lay quietly on a spiderweb, hidden in the darkness without leaving a trace.
This was also why Yu Yuan hadn't detected it earlier.
And now, hearing Xiao Xi's voice.
This spider opened its eyes.
Eight crimson blood eyes lit up, and those silver patterns on its body all transformed into red markings.
These markings, combined with the eight crimson blood eyes, actually gave the impression of a face eerily resembling a human's.
"Is this... a human-faced spider?"
Yu Yuan made a guess in his heart.
But Zhi Zhi's voice had already sounded.
"Master, this spider is not simple. I'm absorbing hidden power from it, just like when I first saw the Wendigo."
Hmm?
The reason the Wendigo could provide hidden power was because it was a legendary Silver-tier creature, relatively rare.
And it had been proven that the Wendigo was indeed extraordinary.
Not only could it freely cross worlds, but it also had abilities like entering dreams, transforming into wind and snow, and responding to sacrificial rituals.
Could this spider also be a legendary Silver-tier creature?
Judging by Xiao Xi's attitude towards it, that was likely the case.
Previously, Yu Yuan had sensed three Silver-tier creatures in the castle through the Combat Detector.
Aside from Xiao Xi, this was probably one of them.
Xiao Xi's foundation was truly terrifying.
Combined with the [Feather Dragon] Xiao Xi had been capturing earlier, it was clear Xiao Xi's targets were precisely these legendary creatures with mystical qualities.
Her ambitions were absolutely not small.
"Darling, don't be impatient. Once we complete the ascension, your food will come. You must grow up quickly then!"
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Xi's mouth.
Her body, however, moved away from that White Jade Coffin.
Her bare feet crossed the blood pool, stepped onto the stone slabs, and slowly walked to the wall where that 'human-faced spider' was—it was a relief sculpture.
What Xiao Xi held in her hand were the leather scroll and stone slab that Derada had submitted earlier.
Then, Xiao Xi placed her hand on the candlestick beside the relief sculpture and gently twisted it.
Whoosh—
The relief sculpture slid apart to both sides, revealing an airlock door behind the wall.
Just from the alloy sheen of the airlock door, one could tell its defensive grade was absolutely not low.
At the very least, ordinary weapons and explosives definitely couldn't open it.
Xiao Xi had already arrived next to the airlock door, where a crystal screen and an Identification Instrument appeared.
First, iris recognition, followed by password operation.
After some operations, the alloy airlock automatically popped open, and the human-faced spider also landed on Xiao Xi's shoulder.
Xiao Xi walked into the airlock door, and Yu Yuan naturally followed closely behind, feeling somewhat excited.
"A secret chamber... Since it's a secret chamber, it must inevitably contain private collections..."
From Xiao Xi's series of operations, he caught the scent of a 'treasure vault'...
Then... naturally, there was no possibility of missing it.
He liked secret chambers, and he liked the... treasures hidden within them even more.
