Chapter 681: Special Reward!
Ping.
A Gold Coin was tossed up into the air, spinning continuously.
Wu Xiaode sat on a massive tree adorned with human heads, quietly watching the Gold Coin fall.
When the Gold Coin descended, he casually caught it, and spun it between his fingers.
"Boss, what are you thinking about?"
Big Banana sat on a branch to one side, placing down his bread and curiously asked.
Wu Xiaode smiled and said:
"I'm thinking, the Gold Coin is so valuable, can't let it fall."
Big Banana listened, took a swig of cola, wolfed down a few bites of his bread, and then muttered:
"Gold Coins are good stuff, of course you catch them! I really don't get what's there to think about."
The smile at the corner of Wu Xiaode's mouth widened, continuing:
"If this Gold Coin was tossed into the air and suddenly turned into a stone, would you still catch it?"
"A stone?" Big Banana said: "Then I'd catch a fart, I'd crush it with one hand!"
Wu Xiaode's gaze turned towards the Void, speaking softly:
"Our current situation is the same."
This sentence was like a whisper, Big Banana was busy eating, not hearing it clearly for a moment.
——Just exchanging one sequence, and saving two subordinates, he then traded away the secret of obtaining the first Pangu card set.
Sarina and other sequences must think he's an idiot.
Once they obtain the first card "Two Worlds People", they are sure to think he has no value, discardable like worn shoes.
Who knows what Sarina is thinking anyway?
In any case, Jiuyao will definitely make a move.
——You could figure it out with your toe.
A silhouette dashed over from the depths of the gray wilds.
Fang.
He rushed straight to the tree, loudly saying:
"Little Wu, according to what you said, I sent some Devils' heads over, and the one always causing trouble in the Rolling Stone Hell replied."
"What did it say?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"It did say some harsh words, saying it's not afraid of you, if you've got guts, go find it in the Rolling Stone Hell." Fang said.
Wu Xiaode slowly stood from the branch, sighed, saying:
"Causing trouble in my patrol area, refusing to repent after persuasion, there's no other way then."
Big Banana also jumped up, packed away his food, wiped his mouth saying:
"Boss, are we going to take it out?"
Wu Xiaode was just about to speak when two lines of bronze small words suddenly appeared before him:
"The trouble-making Devil has exited the Rolling Stone Hell."
"Yin virtues increased by 1."
Wu Xiaode was stunned.
Did the guy just drop a few harsh words and then run off?
——That works too.
He never liked fighting and killing anyway.
But with this, the Yin virtues should be full now.
At this time, new lines of bronze small words emerged:
"Congratulations."
"Your Yin virtues are full, promoted to: Netherworld Punishment Officer."
"Current options are as follows:"
"1. Increase one Death Side official treasure;"
"2. You can summon six Netherworld ghosts, acting as your subordinates;"
"3. Display some of your items to receive additional promotion rewards."
Wu Xiaode's gaze locked directly on the third option.
What does this option actually mean?
He has a lot of stuff, Gold, weapons, cards, what should be displayed here?
Wait a minute.
Maybe it's to display that "Two Worlds People."
After all, soon the Mysterious lives might also enter the Death World and gain positions.
But they absolutely don't have the identity of a Heavenly True God.
And the "Two Worlds People" card in his hand records and hides his true identity—
Ning Shen Temple Master!
Wu Xiaode pondered for a while, drew out that "Two Worlds People" card, and showcased it in the Void.
Waited for several breaths.
Another line of small words popped out:
"The current Netherworld has accepted your display, please further display your items, or give up the display, directly obtain the deserved rewards."
——Can still display further?
Wu Xiaode faintly had a feeling.
This seems like cautiously probing identity.
But he only has the identity of Ning Shen Temple Master, nothing else to display.
...No.
Seems there is still one more thing.
Wu Xiaode pondered for a few breaths, unfastened an item from his wrist, displaying it in the Void.
——The watch bestowed by the Queen Mother: Cover the Sky with One Hand!
This is the treasure the Queen Mother used to notify him to save her.
If proving identity is needed, this item personally bestowed by the Great Venerable definitely counts as truly reliable evidence!
Waited one breath.
Two lines of prompt rune rapidly appeared in the Void:
"The display is complete."
"You have received a special reward: a segment of cryptic whisper."
A gust of wind swept across the gray wilds, blew past the big tree, producing a whistling sound.
"This wind feels great!"
Big Banana said, enjoying the wind.
"Just a bit chilly." Fang also commented.
Wu Xiaode said nothing.
As the wind passed his ear, it had already transformed into several whispered words:
"You are in a dangerous situation, about to fall into numerous deadly calamities."
"Head two hundred li south, there's a Ghost Death River, stand on that gray square rock and look below the water."
"Hurry!"
Having heard it, Wu Xiaode's heart immediately surged with a feeling of crisis.
Indeed.
As soon as the Mysterious lives obtain a card "Two Worlds People", he no longer holds any value.
They will certainly make a move!
"Big Banana, Sharp Fang, you two immediately go patrol the Hell of Burning, don't come out without my call."
Wu Xiaode said.
"Yes! Boss!" the two replied in unison.
The next moment.
Wu Xiaode turned into a streak of shadow, soared into the sky, heading south.
"Brother Banana, why does the boss want us to go to that hell, that place is obviously dangerous as hell." Sharp Fang said.
"The boss wouldn't trick us, follow me, brother." Big Banana said.
He jumped down from the tree and walked towards the Hell of Burning.
Sharp Fang hesitated for a few breaths, then also jumped down from the tree and shouted:
"Wait for me, Brother Banana, don't be mad, I'm just curious."
"Hmph." Big Banana replied without turning his head.
Elsewhere.
Wu Xiaode flew over two hundred miles, looking down at the cold black river below.
"Gray rocks..."
He searched for a while and found the square rock among a bunch of gray rocks.
——This rock is along the river's edge, even protruding a bit.
Wu Xiaode stood directly on the rock.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
He suddenly felt something, couldn't help but look down at the water.
Only to see the water's surface reflecting his own image.
——But that reflected image kept waving at Wu Xiaode on the gray rock.
"What do you want to say to me?"
Wu Xiaode couldn't help but ask.
The other self became anxious, gesturing a pulling motion.
Wu Xiaode thought for a moment, squatted down, and extended his hand to the other.
When his hand touched the icy water surface, suddenly a huge pulling force came——
Splash!
The water reflection grabbed his hand and pulled him into the water!
As Wu Xiaode fell, another self emerged from the water, replacing him to stand on the gray rock.
Wu Xiaode flipped his body, immediately trying to get out of the water.
Thump!
He hit the water's surface and bounced back to the bottom of the water.
The rock-side self looked down, met his gaze, mouthed:
"It's alright, I'll block your death prophecy, you quickly go."
Quickly go——
Go where?
Wu Xiaode felt confused, couldn't help but look down.
From his hidden position looking towards the river's depths, he could actually see an extremely concealed passage.
To go or not?
In his hesitation, he glanced again at the original reflection.
"Trust the Great Venerable Queen Mother."
The reflection self spoke.
This statement persuaded Wu Xiaode.
Yes, he originally could choose other rewards.
He had revealed his identity, wanting to investigate this matter thoroughly.
——Already reached this point, why hesitate!
He cupped his hands towards his self on the shore, then turned and swam into the passage at the bottom of the water.
The passage was dark, filled with silent cold dead water.
But after swimming for a while inside, gradually stairs appeared extending upward.
Wu Xiaode walked along the steps for about seven or eight minutes before the passage's exit appeared ahead.
Several lines of small text suddenly jumped out:
"Currently connected to lost fragments of the past era:"
"Water God's Touch."
"This is the time fragment during the last destruction of Pangu, you will discover its secrets."
Wu Xiaode casually walked out the entrance.
——And then he saw a godly pillar connecting heaven and earth.
This pillar connected to Pangu Land on one end, and pierced through the clouds reaching another world deep within the heavens.
"No..."
Wu Xiaode murmured quietly.
He recognized this godly pillar.
He also recognized that other world above the heavens.
Mysterious Divine Pillar.
Void Storage Realm.
——So during the last destruction of Pangu, they had already appeared!
Is this time destined to repeat?
Wu Xiaode was silently pondering, suddenly saw a figure rising from the earth.
"Don't even think about ruling our world!"
The figure shouted angrily, crashing into the godly pillar with all his might.
Rumble——
The pillar shook unstably, seemed about to topple.
"Fall, quickly fall."
Wu Xiaode clenched his fist, murmured quietly.
——If the Ancient Era's divine could do it, then he has one more strategy to counter.
Just as he anxiously watched the development unfold.
Elsewhere.
Ghost Death River, riverbank.
Another Wu Xiaode left here, sprinting all the way towards the depths of the Death World.
At a certain moment.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks.
The Void shook, large teleportation array's rune structure directly manifested, transferring dozens of armored humans over.
Once they appeared, they immediately surrounded Wu Xiaode.
Festos stood among the crowd, looking at Wu Xiaode with a half-smile, spoke:
"Your magic has already been broken by the Holy one, kid."
"Prepare to die!"
