Chapter 101: Offerings and Spoils

“Ah!”

Nie Xiaoqian screamed aloud. Some black blood appeared on the corner of her lips even though she was only a soul.

At the same time, her body quickly dispersed, and her soul power was spreading out beyond her control.

“Not good! The Tree Demon has set up a barrier on her. Once her urn is broken, her soul will disperse and cause her to die!”

Yan Chixia saw the problem easily.

Because of what Granny Tree Demon shouted aloud, he understood that “Nie Xiaoqian” was probably on the Human side, so he didn’t try to kill her anymore.

However, there wasn’t much he could do in this situation, because he was better at catching demons than rescuing ghosts!

“Young Master…”

With blood flowing out of her mouth, Nie Xiaoqian, who had turned completely transparent, fell toward Ji Ye. There were tears in her eyes in the moonlight.

“I…”

Ji Ye supported her body that was getting lighter and lighter. He opened his mouth, only to come up with nothing.

Last night, he had promised Nie Xiaoqian that he would help her get out of Granny Tree Demon’s control in the room, but the Granny Tree Demon’s final blow before its death was going to take her life away with it!

Even though this was merely a temporary battlefield made of the power of providence, and he had merely promised Nie Xiaoqian that in order to make use of her as a spy, he didn’t feel very good as a man who failed to fulfill his promise.

“Eh…”

Suddenly, Ji Ye’s expression changed.

That was because he sensed that the Totem Wolf Skin in his arms was absorbing the soul power that Nie Xiaoqian sent off.

“Maybe we can try this… Don’t resist!”

Then, Ji Ye closed his eyes and communicated with the Totem Wolf Skin.

A magnificent attractive force suddenly appeared and completely absorbed Nie Xiaoqian’s vague body into the Transcendent item.

“Phew, it does help!”

The Totem Wolf Skin contained tremendous soul power too and could stop Nie Xiaoqian’s soul power from dispersing. It could even heal her.

However, it would be a replacement for her urn. Even if she was fully recovered, she couldn’t get too far away from the Totem Wolf Skin yet.

“Master!”

At this moment, Lu Zhishen had finished off the last black-armored guard. He walked to Ji Ye in delight while holding a piece of armor in his hand.

[Black Mountain Armor]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-0]

[Rarity: Excellent Offering]

[Introduction: Each of these armors was forged in the Southern Sun Kingdom and cost a great fortune. The soldiers who are equipped with such an armor could fight ten times more enemies!]

“One against ten” was definitely a minor exaggeration.

After all, this armor should be a weakened version that the Battlefield of Providence yielded. Although an Extraordinary Rank-0 item theoretically had extraordinary power, it couldn’t be carried out directly.

However, the key was that “Offering” was among the status of the Black Mountain Armor.

“So this is the case! I didn’t know that you could get offerings from the Battlefield of Providence!”

Ji Ye was greatly enlightened.

Earlier, the Twin Dragon Mount had killed many members of the Soul race and acquired tremendous Souls of Civilization.

However, the number of offerings that appeared was relatively small, and the population of the Soul race couldn’t be completely turned into the residents of the Twin Dragon Mount.

The chances were even smaller to obtain offerings from the monsters near the base.

Ji Ye had been confused about that until this moment. He finally realized that it was because there was a third way to get offerings.

“How many of them are out there?”

“About four, altogether!” answered Lu Zhishen.

The twenty black-armored guards provided four armors. If all of them were killed, they could give away ten armors, which would be enough to arm a ten-man elite team for the Twin Dragon Mount.

Those Black Mountain Armors were so hard that they weren’t completely ruined even though they were attacked by Lu Zhishen’s Frost Metal Meditation Staff.

However, they were surprisingly light. Even the Dark Guards, who were but bags of bones, could wear them too.

It was safe to say that they were excellent full-body heavy armors.

If those Black Mountain Armors were given to the Steelback Blue Wolves of the Twin Dragon Mount, wouldn’t they become real heavy cavaliers that could charge on the battlefield?

However, speaking of wolves…

Ji Ye turned his head and looked at the gray wolves that were still on the battlefield.

The gray wolves had suffered a heavy loss. All the Black Mountain Guards were seasoned warriors. Even though the gray wolves were wearing rune armor, and they had caught the enemy unprepared at the beginning, the Black Mountain Guards were soon able to counterattack after they realized the situation.

There were also interferences from Granny Tree Demon. As a result, half of the gray wolves were dead, and the remaining half were mostly injured too.

Even the alpha wolf, the “husky”, had been heavily wounded too. It was lying on the ground because of the half-foot cut on its abdomen, from which blood was gushing out and wetting its fur. Even its internal organs could be seen.

“Roarrrr!”

Seeing Ji Ye coming, the “husky” managed to raise its head and roar at him.

It sounded a lot weaker and less perky compared to when it teased Fatty Zhu before.

Ji Ye reached for the wolf’s neck. Then, he took out a green shimmering pearl in his hand.

This alpha wolf that had been strengthened by the enemy’s power of providence had become very smart. It could understand his intention and relay his command to the wolf pack.

Therefore, it was necessary to rescue him.

As for the other gray wolves, it would be up to themselves whether or not they could survive. After all, the Rejuvenation Bead was a consumable item and only had limited Extraordinary power.

“Roarrrr!”

The alpha wolf’s eyes soon showed more vitality.

Whoosh!

Ji Ye, on the other hand, closed his eyes and controlled the Soul Alpha Wolf, which had completely swallowed the soul of the Tree Demon, to emerge from the soil.

Pa!

After it came out, the Soul Alpha Wolf, whose body was black and whose eyes were burning, spat out a dark red item.

It was the spoil after Granny Tree Demon died!

[Seed of the Tree Demon]

[Level: Special]

[Rarity: Excellent]

[Introduction: This is a seed that the Tree Demon created at the cost of a hundred years of demon power for itself to be resurrected later. Although the seed cannot grow normally because the Tree Demon’s soul has been destroyed, it still contains some real demon power.]

Its level was “Special”, and it had “real demon power”?

Clearly, this must be an item that contained Transcendent power, just like the Totem Wolf Skin.

But of course, it couldn’t be as good as the Totem Wolf Skin.

After all, the Totem Wolf Skin was an item that could grow, and it didn’t just contain “some” Transcendent power.

Also, according to the introduction, this seed could not grow anymore. For most of the settlements, it could probably only be used for medicine or research.

However, Ji Ye couldn’t help but remember a skill that he had.

“Bloodsoul Essence-breeding Method!”

This “Perfect”-Rarity technique from the Soul race could create a new soul.

In such a case, this seed could possibly grow into a real Tree Demon, and Ji Ye would have another Transcendent item.

Well, the information in Ji Ye’s head had told him that both the offerings and such spoils could be taken out of the Battlefield of Providence.

That was why he was having such thoughts.

“Cough. S*it, that ghost named Xiaoqing almost strangled me!”

At this moment, Fatty Zhu rushed out of the bushes nearby.

His legs were unsteady, his clothes were dusty, and his face was somewhat pale.

At the end of the battle, because of Granny Tree Demon’s branches and roots, the rune power on the fatty that could accelerate the armor was used up.

He had even lost that pair of “Holy Guns” that could deal significant damage on souls.

Eventually, he was caught up by the ghost Xiaoqing, who had reached Extraordinary Rank-2. She strangled him and stabbed his eyes crazily with her dark long fingers!

“Thank god I had bound a Soul Grenade to me in advance. I blew her up into pieces although I had to take the hit too. Also, haha, guess what I found in the end…” said Fatty Zhu cockily after that.

Clearly, he must’ve found some spoils too.

However, the item that Fatty Zhu was holding looked like lingerie to Ji Ye from every perspective. He wondered how Fatty Zhu had acquired such spoils.

…

After this battle, the winner of the Battlefield of Providence became pretty obvious.

After the complete victory, the human beings from Earth acquired two new pieces of information.

[Black Mountain’s Capability Acquired: Extraordinary Rank-5 (Commander)!]

[Location of the other two enemy contestants acquired: Guobei County!]
