However, even with the preferential treatment, we can't let the two of them make a permanent sacrifice for it.
Su Bai rummaged through his backpack for a while.
suddenly.
He pulled out a long-forgotten item from a corner.
It was a half-rotten gray heart. Holding it in my hand, I could still faintly feel it beating, and it emitted a strange aura that made my adrenaline rush.
"Can this be replaced?"
Su Bai displayed the 'Unfinished Heart of Fear' on the counter.
"Human nature?"
The old lady was indeed a connoisseur. She took it with both hands, examined it closely, and then showed a regretful expression. "It's a pity it wasn't fully formed. Otherwise, you could have chosen one of my treasures."
She was referring to the row of perfect-grade symbiotes displayed in the counter.
"Is it really worth that much?"
Su Bai was surprised.
"To unite humanity is a skill only a devil can master. You're lucky, kid, but little do you know, you've already walked a tightrope between life and death."
She chuckled.
Her words also reminded Su Bai of his experience of obtaining the Heart of Fear.
That time, he was almost killed by the Blood Shadow clone in room 16, becoming the vessel for a demon's descent.
Speaking of which...
It really was a matter of life and death.
"It should be enough to replace those two bone chains, right?"
Su Bai said.
“Of course.” The old lady readily handed over the two otherworldly bone chains and said, “You can also choose one of these items below.”
She was referring to the "Superior Symbiote" category.
The Heart of Fear itself is merely a high-quality material.
If it stays in Su Bai's hands, it will at most be used to forge equipment of the same level.
It doesn't offer much value.
At this point, being able to exchange for two rare-grade bone chains, plus a superior-grade symbiote, is undoubtedly a huge win.
It is worth mentioning.
Most of the special merchants in the Lost City are highly professional.
They generally wouldn't do anything to cheat or swindle.
Therefore, when trading with them, Su Bai didn't need to scheme or hide his lack of knowledge about the value of an item, fearing that he would be undervalued.
—Except for that guy named Patch.
Su Bai glanced at it briefly.
For everyone, the superior-grade symbiote is of absolutely no value in being replaced.
Once a symbiote is transplanted, it is very difficult to remove it unless the player can accept permanent disability.
therefore.
Since we're going to have a transplant, we should definitely choose the best one.
He picked up the bone chain and simply asked, "Do you have any more of these? I need two more."
The old lady immediately took out two more otherworldly bone chains without saying a word.
"Happy transaction."
Su Bai nodded.
He then gave two of them to Ning Hongchen and Su Siyao.
Two remain.
Of course, it was prepared for Youssefka and Mylin.
They all meet the conditions for the Lord of Nothingness to parasitize, and they all happened to have stayed in the Shadow Chapel, so the possibility of them becoming the mother is very high.
Having this bracelet undoubtedly provides an extra layer of protection.
"Please send us away."
Su Bai said.
The old lady waved lightly to everyone.
Ring ring...
A soft sound came from the copper bell hanging at the door.
Dense fog,
It struck again.
The eerie blue flames gradually became blurred in the mist, and all that could be heard was her hoarse, piercing laughter.
Welcome back again.
...
Following the flickering firelight in the thick fog, the group walked a short distance before returning to the cobblestone streets of the neighborhood.
Su Bai glanced at the time.
He said, "This exploration will end here for now. I will let you know what time we will meet tomorrow."
"It's finally over."
Ning Hongchen stretched with a sigh of relief.
The group breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing signs of exhaustion.
Although we didn't do much exploration today.
The light is on its way.
However, the spiritual pollution caused by the weeping cemeteries and polluted places they passed along the way far outweighed the physical exhaustion.
Being able to hold on until they returned to the neighborhood was already their limit.
Even if there is still enough time.
Given their current condition, it would be difficult for them to cope with another high-intensity boss battle.
"I'm going back to study magic. See you tomorrow."
Su Siyao forced herself to say goodbye.
These words immediately reminded the group.
Yes, their torment in the Lost City has ended, but their arduous training in the Sinful Village has only just begun...
"I'm going back too."
As Cuttlefish spoke, he suddenly blushed, as if he had thought of something. Before the others could notice, he quickly withdrew from the secret realm.
"...Farewell."
Nine Lives seemed to have something to say, but in the end, he didn't say it and turned into a white light on the spot.
Only Ning Hongchen remained in front of Su Bai.
"Is there anything else?"
Su Bai asked.
"Crunch, crunch..." Ning Hongchen lowered his head, his body trembling, and a series of fine grinding sounds came from his mouth.
Su Siyao's words jolted her awake.
and.
It's still a nightmare.
The thought of being subjected to inhuman torture by that perverted green-eyed man when she got back...
Ning Hongchen took a deep breath.
then.
He strode towards Su Bai with an extremely calm expression.
What are you going to do?
Su Bai instinctively sensed something was wrong, and as he consciously began to retreat, Ning Hongchen suddenly quickened her pace and rushed towards him.
