Chapter 301: Chapter 177: The Three Saints
’All things considered, that Sword Saint seems to be the strongest right now.’
’His current strength is unknown.’
’The second strongest is a Warrior. Based on his performance, though, I think I could take him.’
’As for the third strongest...’
’I feel like Xiumi is pretty strong, too. She’s gradually started revealing her power here.’
’It seems she really isn’t as weak as I thought.’
’But from what I’ve seen so far, I haven’t witnessed any of them use their full strength.’
New people were still pouring in from the outside world.
The place was getting more and more crowded.
As more people started heading in his direction, Lu Cang finally put on his Magic Robe.
His body transformed into a faint streak of light.
He accelerated, flying toward the deeper regions!
’The corpses deeper in are actually more valuable.’
At first, Lu Cang was picking and choosing which corpses to collect.
But then, he thought about it...
’I’m a Death Priest who uses corpses, aren’t I? Why am I being so picky?’
’Besides, the Storage Bag I have is from the Cold Church.’
’It’s terrifyingly large.’
’It has enough capacity to hold an entire city.’
’When I really think about it, there’s no need...’
So, with a wave of his hand!
Swarms of corpses were directly sucked into his Storage Bag...
Lu Cang flew onward.
Like a harvester, he forcibly cleared a path through the battlefield that had been covered in corpses...
Behind Lu Cang...
The Adventurers who were following walked for a moment, then suddenly realized... the path ahead was empty?
’Wait a minute...’
’Where are the corpses?’
’Where are all the corpses that were littering the place?’
One ton, two tons... five hundred tons, a thousand tons, thirty thousand tons.
Lu Cang swept through, leaving an empty clearing in his wake.
This method was indeed much more efficient.
The haul was quite bountiful, too.
Ancient Combat Skills, Ancient Magic... he even found a Secret of Splitting.
’More good stuff to research.’
Slashing, Kicking, Penetration, Splitting.
’By my count, I’ve already learned four War God Secret Techniques.’
Lu Cang mused to himself.
Suddenly!
He felt an extremely fast Qi approaching him.
’Tsk...’
SWISH!
A figure appeared, having chased him to the end of the cleared path of corpses.
He looked around.
"Strange."
"Why does it stop here?"
This was the only path without any corpses. Seeing such a strange sight, he had given chase.
But when he reached the end...
...he found that the corpses suddenly reappeared.
And there was no one to be sensed nearby.
"How odd."
Lu Cang, having pulled down his hood and wearing the Robe of Evil Gaze, was already far from that location.
’Being too conspicuous is a bad idea.’
’The other Adventurers probably don’t collect huge swaths of corpses at once because they’re afraid of becoming a target.’
’When everyone’s power is similar, or when you can’t gauge another’s strength...’
’...making yourself too obvious isn’t a good choice.’
As for Lu Cang, he still planned to observe for a while.
Especially those so-called three strongest individuals who were supposed to appear after some time.
He had heard that those three would prioritize seeking out the person who had killed the most or joining the fray where the fighting was most intense.
Lu Cang had no intention of becoming the first target the moment the bosses appeared.
"Further ahead..."
’Is that the corpse of a Level 6 Adventurer?’
Lu Cang used Instant Acceleration.
In just two seconds, he crossed over a thousand kilometers and landed beside a corpse.
Next to the corpse was a faceless but muscular Demon.
This was the first Tier Six King Level Undead Lu Cang had ever subdued.
Lu Cang took his Storage Bag.
At the same time, he glanced at the Plaque tied to his waist.
"Romoxi."
The writing on the Plaque was blurry and illegible.
But Lu Cang knew it nonetheless.
"I’ve collected so many corpses, but I’ve never bothered to look for their names."
"I just happened to glance at what was hanging from your waist and saw your name. I suppose you could say it was fate."
Lu Cang removed the Plaque.
"I won’t make you any promises. If by some chance our paths cross again someday... we’ll see."
A Level 6 Adventurer had also died here.
This body was completely different from the others around it. He’d heard that the Life Level of a Level 6 Adventurer had already transcended the mortal realm.
Their physical bodies were incorruptible after death.
’Looking at it now... it seems to be true.’
The area was filled with decaying, rotting corpses, but this body was as smooth as jade, with only a single fatal wound on its chest.
A gaping hole in its chest.
The heart was gone.
’A battlefield where even a Level 6 Adventurer died...’
Lu Cang vaguely recalled that man saying that three of the strongest warriors who had once died on this battlefield would be revived.
’Could this Level 6 Adventurer be one of them?’
At this thought, Lu Cang immediately put the entire corpse into his Storage Space.
’On second thought, the entire body of a Level 6 Adventurer must be a treasure trove. I should make a habit of collecting the whole corpse from now on.’
’It’s also a good way to prevent them from reanimating.’
’Still, there are so many relics here.’
’If I just spent a few hours scavenging here and took it all outside, I could probably make a fortune.’
’For me, it might not be as satisfying as clearing a Tier Six Dungeon.’
’But for other Adventurers, the profits are frighteningly high.’
’It’s like picking up money off the ground. You can find Tier Four and Tier Five equipment everywhere.’
’Even if the Quality isn’t high, their Equal Tier ensures their price won’t be too low. Selling them for a few, or even a few dozen, gold pieces would be no problem at all.’
DONG!
DONG—
DONG~
Lu Cang had a premonition.
Then, as if confirming his feeling, the sound of a bell rang out—
Lu Cang stood his ground, unmoving. Beside him, a Tier Six Submerged Land Level Demon, holding a sword and shield, had already taken its stance and planted its feet firmly.
A Shield now enveloped Lu Cang’s entire body.
