143: New artifact revealed

The four of them recovered slightly, feeling a bit troubled.

Because this last mage was quite difficult to handle.

This mage in the red dress wouldn't attack them proactively, but she wouldn't let them get close either.

Anyone who approached would inevitably be killed instantly by flames and meteorites; the flames she breathed had a hit-stun effect, and while they wouldn't burn someone to death directly, combined with the summoned meteorites, they were lethal.

The four of them discussed for a long time and finally worked out an attack method that was worth a try.

The four slowly approached the mage huddled in the corner. After Xiao Hongyuan fully buffed her status, she used Army Breaker Rising Dragon Strike directly on the mage.

As expected, the mage began summoning meteorites and breathing fire.

However, Xiao Hongyuan's Army Breaker Rising Dragon Strike had a Super Armor effect; although she took damage from the fire, she didn't fall into a hit-stun state.

Xiao Hongyuan directly tanked the fire damage and knocked the mage into the air.

As the meteorites fell, A Fei and Jian Wuxie quickly used Three-Stage Slash to rush forward.

After Xiao Hongyuan succeeded, she immediately followed up with a combo of Uppercut and Flowing Heart Ascent to extend the mage's airborne time.

Once Jian Wuxie and A Fei arrived, A Fei immediately released three ghost god phantoms beneath him, standing ready at all times to take over and keep the enemy airborne if Xiao Hongyuan made a mistake.

Jian Wuxie activated Blood Frenzy and Berserk, then directly released the Rage Burst skill.

The mage in the air was hit by the blood energy of Rage Burst and was launched into the air once more.

Quan Wudi also moved to the side of the three, ready to fill in at any moment.

Xiao Hongyuan jumped directly and began attacking the airborne mage with the Aerial Chain Slash skill.

But then, an unexpected change occurred; Jian Wuxie made a mistake, the airborne combo broke, and the mage landed.

As soon as the mage hit the ground, Quan Wudi immediately used a Brick Attack, slamming it onto the mage's head and stunning her instantly.

"Well done!" Jian Wuxie couldn't help but shout.

Quan Wudi launched Tiger Subduing Overlord Fist, pinning the mage to the ground and pummeling her.

When the skill ended, Jian Wuxie very alertly reached out with his Ghost Hand, grabbed the mage, and activated Soul Devouring Hand.

With the eruption of the Soul Devouring Hand's blood energy, the mage's last bit of health was finally depleted. She let out a scream, turned into a corpse, and slowly vanished.

Simultaneously, a large amount of equipment dropped from her body, clattering all over the ground.

The four of them breathed a collective sigh of relief. This Abyss Party seemed slightly easier than the last one they encountered; although these three mages had high attack power, their defense was indeed quite low.

With a trembling voice, Jian Wuxie said to Xiao Hongyuan beside him, "Senior Sister, you have good luck. You go pick up the equipment. I think I saw the pink glow of a Divine Artifact just now!"

Xiao Hongyuan looked at the expectant gazes of the three, shook her head, and walked toward the pile of equipment.

Xiao Hongyuan crouched down and picked up the common equipment first, checking if anyone needed anything. After distributing some, she tossed the rest to Quan Wudi, telling him to decompose them once they returned to the city.

Then, Xiao Hongyuan picked up another piece of equipment from the ground. After looking at it, she sighed and turned back, saying, "A Divine Artifact piece did indeed drop!"

Before the excited trio could ask, Xiao Hongyuan preemptively continued, "But none of us can use it!"

After speaking, Xiao Hongyuan directly shared the attributes.

【Gnashing N3-Thorn Snake】

Looking at the equipment's attributes, Jian Wuxie praised, "The attack power is so high, and it even has an attribute attack!"

Quan Wudi also said, "Yeah, the attack power is over 300 without any enhancement. If it's enhanced, how strong would it be?"

A Fei poured cold water on them, saying, "Too bad none of us are Gunners!"

Quan Wudi's eyes darted around as he said, "Tell me, if we sell this to that big fool, the Second Prince, how much would it be worth?"

Hearing this, Jian Wuxie immediately smirked craftily, "How about asking him for 20,000 Spirit Stones?"

Xiao Hongyuan was a bit speechless and finally said, "Even if that prince is a fool, he wouldn't pay 20,000 Spirit Stones, would he?"

A Fei, being very honest, hesitated and said, "I think if we exchange it for Gold Coins, 3 million Gold Coins would be about right. If we sell it directly for Spirit Stones, 2,000 Spirit Stones should be easy to sell. If we find someone who really needs it, maybe we could get 3,000 Spirit Stones."

"Trying doesn't hurt, right?" Jian Wuxie smirked craftily.

"Exactly. With that Second Fool's wealth, what if we succeed? We'll split the money then!" Quan Wudi chimed in.

Xiao Hongyuan, helpless, tossed the equipment to Quan Wudi and said, "Then you guys go try it. Recover quickly; next is the boss!"

Only then did the three realize that although they had cleared the Abyss Party, they hadn't even seen the boss yet.

The four took out their supplies and began to recover slowly.

A Fei took out a piece of red jerky, hesitated for a moment, then stuffed it into his mouth. His health began to recover.

Watching A Fei eat the jerky, Quan Wudi asked, "Little Fei, did you just eat that zombie meat?"

A Fei didn't answer, just nodded.

Jian Wuxie asked curiously, "How is it? How does it taste?"

A Fei thought for a moment and said, "No particular feeling. The taste is okay."

This piqued Jian Wuxie's curiosity. After a while, he couldn't help but say, "Are there any more? Give me a piece?"

A Fei directly took out a piece and tossed it to Jian Wuxie.

Jian Wuxie held the piece of red jerky, hesitated for a long time, and finally grit his teeth and stuffed it into his mouth.

After chewing a few times, Jian Wuxie felt his health starting to recover and said, "The taste really isn't as bad as I thought. The recovery is... Holy crap! What's happening?"

Jian Wuxie's entire body turned purple, and his health began to drop slowly.

Since he didn't have much health to begin with, he quickly used Death Defiance to pull back some HP and then took out a potion he had made and gulped it down.

Quan Wudi laughed loudly, "Hahaha, he eats it and is fine, but you eat it and get poisoned. Your luck is truly terrible!"

Jian Wuxie gulped down the potion speechlessly, also beginning to doubt himself.

"Sigh, what a pity. That mage's final hit should have been handled by Xiao Hongyuan. Maybe an epic equipment would have dropped. With your 'black hand' touching it, not only did it become a Divine Artifact, but it's also one we can't use."

"Little Fei, give Brother Quan a piece of that meat and let him taste it too!" Jian Wuxie said through gritted teeth.

Hearing this, Quan Wudi's expression immediately changed, and he laughed, "No need, I'm fully recovered. Eating it would be a waste. Next time, definitely next time!"
