Chapter 245: 245 – The fat man is insufficiently helpful but abundant in causing problems
Their arms are mostly whole. I reckon most of their storage rings should still be on them.
Out of excitement, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but think, it’s no joke—those who venture into the Mad Demon Valley are either talented disciples from prestigious sects or from influential families.
Even lone practitioners who stormed in did so at the cost of fifty million high-grade spirit stones for an entry pass—these people surely carry considerable wealth on themselves.
Such a pity that they died just like that.
At least, their deaths should be of some worth!
“Sacrificing yourselves for the benefit of others, you might as well be candlelight!”
Jiang Xiaobai so exclaimed in his heart.
Should they have heard those words, even if already dead and unable to die again, they would probably jump up to fight Jiang Xiaobai out of indignation.
After some speculative thinking, which elated his heart, Jiang Xiaobai began to move slowly underground. With the mad dogs currently unable to detect him, taking it slow was not a problem.
Meanwhile, he would muse over his subsequent plans.
Firstly, he needs to upgrade his strength as quickly as possible. If he could break through to the early stage of Transcendence, his power would definitely surge incredibly.
This would mean a geometric growth, not just a mere increase post breakthrough.
After all, the Transcendence and Nascent Soul Stages are not on the same level. The two cannot be treated similarly.
Moreover, should he reach the Transcendence stage, he would then be able to use his secret, ultimate move!
Nearing to one-tenth of the postnatal spirit treasures—the Seven Treasures Pagoda.
The Seven Treasures Pagoda is one of the treasures among postnatal spirit treasures, standing out amongst its peers once it debuts.
It is definitely Jiang Xiaobai’s most formidable move then!
In this way, Jiang Xiaobai’s survival ability would be greatly enhanced. There would be lots more he could do in Mad Demon Secret Land, and he could get even more opportunities.
He could even blackmail those people rather nicely.
After all, he carries more than eight thousand Frenzy Demon Stones, this quantity should pretty much be equivalent to what everyone else has collectively.
Well, it should be so.
“First off, make the most out of the dead men’s wealth. Then, see if I can breakthrough to the early stage of Transcendence. No worries if that doesn’t pan out, I still have my last piece of immortal stone, right. Regardless, I’ll use that first. Otherwise, I might just end up unable to escape Xiao Yuwei.”
After Jiang Xiaobai solidifies his plans, he no longer wants to delay. Immediately, he began to look around this large mountain range.
He soon arrived at the stash spot where the mad dogs kept the bodies. The environment here is really rather nice when compared to other places. The bodies could be preserved here without decay for a long time.
However, the situation inside is quite disgusting. There’s some kind of moldy fungus, which Jiang Xiaobai can’t even name, everywhere. Despite him having the skill of the Ancient Alchemist, he still can’t figure out what the hell this stuff is.
He guessed it must be some kind of strange vegetation that arose due to the unique environment of Mad Demon Valley.
Not caring much further, Jiang Xiaobai started getting to work as soon as he found the spot.
Suffice it to say, there are hundreds of bodies here. Of note, not only were there freshly killed bodies that the dogs just hunted, there were a lot of decayed bones, too.
To scare Jiang Xiaobai even more, the corner heaved with heaps of storage rings, gathered in a pile as large as a small hill!
“Waste! What a waste!”
Jiang Xiaobai roared in anger in his heart, yet his eyes were filled with thrill.
This time, I’ve struck it rich!
Indeed the easiest way to make money in this world is by scavenging from the dead. Just a simple earth escape and he could find so many treasures. Jiang Xiaobai acknowledged that coming here this time was not in vain.
In about half an hour, Jiang Xiaobai managed to gather all the storage rings without alerting any mad dog. All thanks to his earth escape technique and “Divine Concealment”.
These two techniques coupled together work like a dream!
It’s unbeatable!
Looking at the storage rings slowly piling up in his storage space, Jiang Xiaobai felt like he could wake up laughing even in a dream.
These are the storage rings of the talents who have participated in the Mad Demon Secret Land over the years. The mad dogs don’t like this stuff, so it means they haven’t been touched.
So how much wealth would all these storage rings yield once opened?
Jiang Xiaobai doesn’t even dare to imagine!
“Cough, cough… I mustn’t get overwhelmed just yet. I need to leave quickly. Only when I can successfully escape would these treasures truly belong to me!”
With that, Jiang Xiaobai closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and prepared to calm his excited spirit.
Then…
“The heck, how could I not be thrilled?”
Jiang Xiaobai flung his eyes wide open. After cursing a few more times, he quickly made way outside.
Just then, he sensed a familiar figure.
“Eh, isn’t this the beauty I bumped into at Wuhai Academy? How did she run into the pack of mad dogs, and even get captured alive?”
Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t believe his own senses. After forcefully calming himself, he used his divine sense to probe again.
Eventually, he confirmed that it was the woman he had dealt with before.
“Interesting, how could someone at the intermediate stage of ‘Dividing the gods’ get captured alive by these mad dogs? Just how strong are these mad dogs?”
Jiang Xiaobai silently mused, his expression growing solemn.
Because he saw that several others were also captured alive by the mad dogs, strung up by some kind of glowing vines in the cavern.
Hm?
“Are they trying to air-dry these bodies into cured meat?”
“Forget it, why bother about it? It’s better to mind my own business, must learn from little Ming’s grandpa—absolutely don’t meddle in other people’s affairs.”
Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself thus and then was ready to leave. But at this moment, an unexpected person showed up in his perception.
AnRan, the fatso.
“What the hell, what happened to that fatty? Wasn’t he asked to wait at a safe place? How come he also got captured alive?”
Jiang Xiaobai was going mad.
Originally, he would have chosen to mind his own business had he not seen this. He could have slipped away, having pretended not to have seen anything. But now that he saw AnRan, he had no reason not to save him!
“I swear, that fatso always makes things go from bad to worse!”
After secretly cursing again, Jiang Xiaobai arrived swiftly below AnRan. According to his divine sense, the poor fatty was inversely hanging in the cavern, swaying to the wind.
The sight was rather comical.
If his memory is correct, this should be AnRan’s second time in such a predicament.
However, after locating AnRan, Jiang Xiaobai doesn’t rush to save him immediately, instead, he took a moment to scan the surroundings. Eventually, he only spotted around ten mad dogs outside the cavern at the later stages of the Transcendence, who seemed to be standing guard.
Then, he quietly sent a voice message to the chubby guy.
