Chapter 169 The Soul is Shining but Ineffective
"Brother Xiu!" The players who had finished their work nearby didn't care about taking care of the wounded, and they all came over to Yin Xiu, "Hurry up and give your soul to Boss Ye! Let's see if he can survive!"
"Okay." Yin Xiu responded and opened his left hand. He had been holding the soul crystal tightly in his palm. Even when he lost Yaya when killing the monster, he did not forget the soul crystal in his hand.
Zhong Mu, who caught Ye Tianxuan's body downstairs of the teaching building, never dared to let him go. He walked to Yin Xiu with Ye Tianxuan in his arms with a serious look on his face.
Everyone stared at it nervously, no one knew how to use this soul crystal.
They first saw Yin Xiu tentatively placing it on Ye Tianxuan.
No response.
Then she placed it on his forehead, palm, or heart.
There was no response.
The soul crystal shone brightly, but Ye Tianxuan's face remained as pale as paper, without a trace of life, and he did not open his eyes.
"Could it be... unusable?" The players were stunned, with complicated expressions for a moment. They all placed their hopes on this soul crystal. They worked so hard to get it back, but still couldn't save this person?
"Did we take the wrong one? Let's look for it again. What if Boss Ye is still in the pile we just dug out?" One player suggested unwillingly, wanting to turn around and look for it in the pile of soul crystals. Even if it rolled into the sea, they would go down and fish it out immediately.
But when they turned around and saw the dark and lifeless souls piled there, their eyes dimmed again.
If even this most dazzling soul is not Boss Ye, how could those dim ones be?
"I can confirm that it's this one... When I grabbed it, I saw Ye Tianxuan." Yin Xiu silently took the crystal back and stared at the stone in his hand. His mood was as gloomy as the players around him. He even considered whether to stuff the crystal into his mouth and let him swallow it, as if swallowing back his soul.
I was also afraid that it wouldn’t work and I wouldn’t be able to get the stone back.
There was a moment of silence among the crowd, and the school, which was almost in ruins, was dejected.
Everyone was covered in dust and dirt, some were injured, some had used up all their props, and they persevered with all their might, but the hope they had finally been looking forward to was now dashed.
Looking at that pale face, the players' hearts sank. Was this really the end? Was there really no way to save him?
They worked so hard for so long, but it was all in vain.
There was a dead silence in the dungeon. Everyone was silent and composed. The subtle atmosphere made it difficult for anyone to speak.
But in the silence, a voice suddenly broke the heavy atmosphere and floated over.
"That's not how you use a soul crystal."
The players' eyes lit up and they looked over, seeing the two slender figures slowly walking across the dilapidated playground.
It’s the cafeteria aunt and the teacher.
There are two real monsters in this copy.
"Auntie...how do I use the soul crystal?" Yin Xiu immediately stepped forward and asked. As expected, in the end, it was the monster who understood the details of the copy better.
"Auntie doesn't know, but my sister does." Auntie raised her hand and pointed at the slender teacher next to her. "After all, I'm just a person who serves food to good children. The knowledgeable person is here."
The teacher pursed her lips, noticing that Yin Xiu looked particularly unhappy. Although the monsters had greatly reduced their cognitive impact, the teacher still seemed to dislike Yin Xiu. "This dungeon is also in tatters. As expected, every dungeon you enter will be ruined."
Yin Xiu stared at her expressionlessly, "This matter is not up to me."
"Although I don't really want to help you, my sister likes you, so there's nothing I can do." The teacher stared at the players and said slowly, "I can tell you how to use the Soul Crystal, but I can't go into too much detail. After all, I'm a monster. You'll have to find the rest on your own."
Upon hearing that there was hope, the players nodded eagerly, and then habitually took out paper and pen to record.
"I can only tell you that in a dungeon that isn't very difficult, there's a dungeon boss that possesses a special, strange item. That item is extremely rare, but once you get it, you can obtain whatever you want based on the owner's wishes."
"Monsters also have weird props?" The players were stunned. It was the first time they had such a peaceful communication with the monsters. They heard news from their mouths that only the monsters knew.
"Of course there are. However, except for novice dungeons, these are usually found in dungeon boss-level monsters. After all, those who can become dungeon bosses must be very powerful. However, this dungeon is an exception." The teacher waved his hand calmly. "After all, the original dungeon boss of this dungeon, the principal, was killed by someone."
Everyone looked at Yin Xiu leisurely, but Yin Xiu looked away as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Oh right, doesn't the warden in Paradise City have a prison warden who can customize the rules? That might be the warden's weird prop!"
"Oh!" The players suddenly realized, "It's possible! It's so possible!"
The teacher frowned. "You've actually been to Paradise City? There are some brutal players there, you..."
Everyone immediately waved their hands, distancing themselves from the matter, "We haven't been there! It was Brother Xiu who went there!"
Everyone looked at Yin Xiu again, and Yin Xiu looked into the distance leisurely.
The teacher sneered, "Given this guy's habits, he must have killed all the people in that copy, right?"
The players immediately defended themselves, "No! Brother Xiu hasn't killed them all!"
Only a part of them were killed, and the rest were killed by the illusion of the former Brother Xiu.
The illusion has nothing to do with Brother Xiu!
The teacher said meaningfully, and the aunt beside him nodded in relief. "I can see that he is different from before. He has matured and his murderous aura is not as strong as before!"
The players quickly put aside the topic and continued to ask the teacher with pen and paper: "What are strange props?"
Of course, teachers like students who are studious and inquisitive. What's more, when this group of people saw that she was about to speak, they immediately took out paper and pen to record the key points. They were so self-conscious.
She nodded happily. "A strange item is one that becomes extremely powerful when used by a strange monster in a dungeon. These items are generally only usable by strange monsters and cannot be bound to players. However, that item is an exception. Once bound to a player, it becomes a one-time item for the player and disappears after one use."
The teacher narrowed his eyes and looked at the others, "That's equivalent to an opportunity for players to make a wish. You can even wish for a way home."
When she said this, the players were stunned. Could it be so powerful? The way home... that was something so many players wanted in the dungeon.
They swallowed.
The teacher slowly looked at Yin Xiu and smiled meaningfully, "Or... a younger sister."
