It took Jiang Yuan half an hour to recover from his complete exhaustion. When he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Zhaodi crying with tears streaming down her face.
"Liu Zhaodi, has anyone ever told you that when you cry you look like an unwanted little wildcat!" Jiang Yuan said, then lay back on the ground with a smile on his lips, looking at the sky where the bloodstains had not yet dissipated and feeling extremely comfortable.
"You heartless bastard!" Liu Zhaodi quickly wiped her face, trying to cover up the tears.
"Have they all gone back?" Jiang Yuan asked while closing his eyes to rest.
When he broke through the limits of his physical body one after another, he was in a wonderful state. If he moved his physical body at that time, it might directly break the balance, causing his already overburdened physical body to collapse instantly. That's why he asked Xiao Tuanzi and the North City Allied Army to escort the people of Yanshan Village back.
"They've all gone back, they're probably at the base by now!" Liu Zhaodi said sullenly. "What about you, are you able to leave?"
"I'll lie down a bit more, I'm so tired!" Jiang Yuan remembered that the last time he fought to the point of exhaustion using only his physical body was at the Holy Spirit Fortress. That time was also his limit. However, he was particularly unlucky today. First, the battle in Hotan District depleted most of his strength, and now he had directly entered the terrifying endless mode, which almost cost him his life.
Liu Zhaodi didn't complain when she heard Jiang Yuan's answer. She just lay down on the ground like him, then turned to her side and pressed her body against Jiang Yuan's right arm, and whispered, "I'll stay with you!"
"Were you afraid before?" Jiang Yuan asked gently.
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid with you here!" Liu Zhaodi wanted to shake her head, but because she was lying down, she ended up rubbing her head against Jiang Yuan's chest.
Jiang Yuan remained silent for a moment, looking at the sky filled with the impending storm, and said slowly but firmly, "Tomorrow, let's leave Nancheng!"
"Why do you want to leave Nancheng?" Liu Zhaodi tilted her head slightly, turning her face to the side as she waited earnestly for Jiang Yuan's answer.
"Me!" Jiang Yuan chuckled and said indifferently, "Perhaps!"
"No way! Why should I leave if you're not leaving?" Liu Zhaodi blurted out without hesitation. After thinking it over, she realized she was being too forward, so she added, "It's not just for you. The Liu family is still in Nancheng, and you're not going to marry me. I'm not going to abandon my family and wander with you!"
Jiang Yuan was silent for a moment, then turned to meet Liu Zhaodi's eyes. "Go back and prepare tonight. I'll send you and the Liu family away tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhaodi sensed something was wrong. She asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? I feel like you're hiding something from me!"
"Never mind, let's go back first!"
Jiang Yuan didn't want to continue the topic and prepared to get up and leave.
"No!" Liu Zhaodi grabbed Jiang Yuan's clothes and said domineeringly, "Lie down a little longer!"
"You lie down, I'll check the loot!"
Jiang Yuan immediately shoved Liu Zhaodi's hand away, then closed his eyes and began to count the spoils of war. Just as his gaze focused on the core item, a flash of blood beside him made his expression turn serious.
Twenty-eight pieces of demon blood!
Twenty-eight pieces of Demon God Blood lay quietly in his personal space! He had stolen three pieces of Demon God Blood from the Holy Spirit in Hotan District, and condensed two more himself, making a total of five pieces. Now he had twenty-eight pieces, a full twenty-three more pieces of Demon God Blood!
"It seems that killing any living being, whether human or alien, will increase one's life force!"
Jiang Yuan thought about it carefully and thought to himself, "Moreover, the more spiritual a race is, the more concentrated the increase in life force it generates. Among them, the human race and the Holy Spirit race generate the most life force!"
Jiang Yuan did the math and realized that ten mindless monsters didn't even have as much spiritual power as one spirit beast. He immediately understood why the Holy Spirit would risk rushing into the South City to carry out a massacre: killing humans was the fastest way to condense the blood of the Demon God.
He is currently powerless against the Demon God's blood. The only thing he can do is to kill the demonic embryo as much as possible and postpone the Demon Lord's descent. Perhaps that would allow the Source of the Battlefield to condense more completely, increasing the chances of the Southern City being preserved.
Leaving the Demon God's Blood aside, Jiang Yuan continued to look at the core. At present, the core was far more useful to him than the Demon God's Blood. If he wanted to improve his combat power, he still had to rely on the core.
There were seven Crystal Cores in total, four of which were Tier 9 and already existed. This means that only three Crystal Cores dropped in this battle, and none of them were Tier 9. There are two reasons for the low drop rate: previously, many of his battles involved challenging opponents of higher tiers, but this was a one-sided massacre, naturally resulting in a lower drop rate; another reason is that this battle didn't present any very strong opponents, only ordinary spirit beasts and holy spirit beasts leading the charge.
There are a total of 3,036 Radiant Gold Cores, and each rank has one.
There are a total of 39,700 Mithril Cores, and each rank has one.
As for the black iron cores, Jiang Yuan glanced at them and realized there were at least 60,000 to 70,000 of them, a number that made his scalp tingle.
"Sigh, having so many cores is a real headache!" Jiang Yuan had reached the point where he was tired of opening boxes, but he couldn't give up, because each box might contain an extremely powerful treasure. He had to appraise it before opening it, and he couldn't be careless.
"Let's see what's inside the three crystal cores that Liu Zhaodi bought!"
Jiang Yuan casually glanced at one of them and then examined it, but this one action made his eyes widen.
"Ultimate Bone Shackles!"
It's actually the Ultimate Bone Shackle! You have to understand that he just opened the Ultimate Blood Shackle not long ago, and he didn't expect that he would get the Ultimate Bone Shackle again after only ten days.
"Wait, could the remaining two be able to unleash the ultimate flesh shackles?" Jiang Yuan was startled, but immediately dismissed the idea.
Just kidding. Each of these nine shackles is an absolute treasure, and they're not so easy to open. Being able to open two in ten days is already a stroke of luck. He doesn't even dare to hope to get the ultimate flesh shackle.
"Forget it, I'll be satisfied as long as I get any attribute-based vein!" Jiang Yuan shrugged and appraised the second core.
As he expected, it was impossible for him to obtain the ultimate flesh shackles, or even the original attribute veins.
"Let's continue!" Jiang Yuan first planned to examine the items within the three cores and then unify their locations.
Just as the light of the Heavenly Eye swept across the third core, he was stunned.
The ultimate flesh shackle!
The ultimate flesh shackle has truly appeared!
What you keep in mind will surely come to pass!
Ultimate Bone Shackles: One in ten million chance. Locating the treasure requires five thousand Tier 9 Holy Spirit Stones.
Ultimate Flesh Shackles: One in ten million chance. Requires 5,000 Tier 9 Holy Spirit Stones for treasure hunting.
Information about the two items was presented one by one. The probability of obtaining the Extreme Blood Shackles was the same as last time, and the price was generally higher than that of other items. However, even if the price was 50,000 or even 500,000, he was willing to pay.
"Treasure Hunt Location - Ultimate Bone Shackles!"
"Treasure Hunt Location - Ultimate Flesh Shackles!"
Without any hesitation, Jiang Yuan decided on the item to open in a second.
