211: The second treasure

In the canyon.

The Monkey King's chest heaved violently like a bellows, and he gasped for breath.

His body was covered in fist marks.

Many of his bones were shattered.

He was on the verge of collapsing.

Earlier, he had tried to escape.

But Xiao Shi saw through his intention and specifically targeted his legs.

As a result, the injuries to his legs were more severe than those to his body, greatly affecting his overall speed.

It was difficult to escape!

Although during the fight...

He also inflicted considerable injuries on Xiao Shi, but under Xiao Shi's healing, the injuries on his body recovered completely in the blink of an eye.

He couldn't outlast Xiao Shi at all.

The surrounding monkey troop also saw that the Monkey King's situation was dire.

They jumped up and down anxiously, chattering wildly.

But they couldn't do anything.

Previously, they had tried to help the Monkey King, but the moment they touched Xiao Shi's body, they were instantly killed by the raw physical strength that erupted from him.

Given the absolute disparity in strength...

They were unable to compensate for this gap with numbers.

Whoosh!

Xiao Shi's figure moved.

He instantly flashed and appeared in front of the Monkey King.

Both fists struck out with a roar simultaneously.

After landing on the Monkey King's body...

Pfft!

It instantly pierced through the Monkey King's already scarred body.

The Monkey King's eyes dimmed instantly.

His knees buckled.

With a thud, he fell to his knees, and then his entire massive body collapsed heavily.

"Finally, it's resolved!"

Xiao Shi took a deep breath.

It must be said...

This Monkey King was quite difficult to kill.

Mainly because its strength had already reached the level comparable to the Martial Soul Realm.

It was far stronger than Xiao Shi's current corpse.

Fortunately, the Monkey King's strength was only equivalent to the initial stage of entering the Martial Soul Realm.

The gap was not so large as to be insurmountable.

Coupled with being injured by Xiao Shi's sneak attack...

And then slowly worn down to death by him.

This also allowed Xiao Shi to experience the advantage of corpse combat for the first time.

If it were his main body, he wouldn't be able to wear it down to death through such a war of attrition.

Xiao Shi mused that he might be able to devise a unique set of combat methods based on this characteristic of the corpse, thereby allowing the corpse to unleash even greater combat power.

However, the most important thing now was to see what this Monkey King dropped after its death.

"I wonder if, with the strength of this Monkey King, it will drop other items?"

With anticipation in his heart...

Xiao Shi picked up the item it dropped.

【Name: Green Treasure Token】

【Type: Token】

【Grade: None】

【Description: A treasure token from the Myriad Treasure Pagoda, with the function of recording kills. Items can be exchanged in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda based on the number of kills recorded in the token.】

【Note: This item can only exist within the Realm. Once it leaves the Realm, the item will disappear.】

...Xiao Shi was stunned.

Before this...

He had suspected that the treasure tokens in the Realm might not be limited to just the 【white treasure token】.

As expected!

In addition to the 【white treasure token】, there was indeed a 【Green Treasure Token】 here.

It's just that this 【Green Treasure Token】 had a completely different function from the 【white treasure token】.

The 【white treasure token】 was used to exchange for treasures in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda based on the number of tokens.

While the 【Green Treasure Token】 was used to exchange for treasures in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda based on the number of kills in the Realm.

Both were for exchanging treasures, but the exchange methods were completely different.

Although neither of these two treasure tokens had a grade...

Xiao Shi could tell that the level of the 【Green Treasure Token】 was clearly higher than the 【white treasure token】.

After all, he would drop the 【white treasure token】 with any casual kill.

But the 【Green Treasure Token】 likely required killing powerful fierce beasts comparable to the Martial Soul Realm to drop!

"Then besides these two types of treasure tokens... are there any other higher-grade treasure tokens?"

Xiao Shi couldn't help but wonder.

If killing fierce beasts comparable to the Martial Soul Realm would only drop 【Green Treasure Token】...

It's highly likely that killing fierce beasts above the Martial Soul Realm would drop even higher-grade treasure tokens than the 【Green Treasure Token】.

This was clearly not something he could do.

After all, just in killing this Monkey King, he had already exerted his full strength.

And he seized the opportunity.

If it weren't for the initial sneak attack, even if he could continuously wear it down with the 【body healing fluid】, he definitely wouldn't have been a match for the Monkey King.

However, judging from past drop patterns...

Even killing fierce beasts of the Qi Martial Realm or Blood Martial Realm might drop 【Green Treasure Token】, or even higher-grade treasure tokens.

It's just that the probability would be very, very low... But if he killed a large number of them, Xiao Shi felt there was still hope.

Immediately...

His gaze quickly locked onto the nearby monkey troop.

His figure moved.

He began to slaughter!

As he unleashed the 【Raging Bull Ram】, he seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning, and wherever he passed, these monkeys were all rammed to death by him!

Not a single one could escape.

In an instant...

Only a few monkeys in the entire monkey troop managed to escape; the rest all died at Xiao Shi's hands.

Xiao Shi held the 【Green Treasure Token】 and, with a thought...

Relevant kill information immediately appeared within the entire 【Green Treasure Token】.

Kill Count: 94 (Blood Martial Realm)

..."It's a pity the Monkey King's kill count wasn't included."

Xiao Shi felt some regret about this.

The 【Green Treasure Token】 would only record kills after obtaining it.

Previous kills would not be counted.

"I wonder what treasures this kill count can be exchanged for?"

Xiao Shi was very much looking forward to it.

He began to collect the 【white treasure token】 that these monkeys dropped after their deaths.

Through this slaughter...

He had already confirmed that killing in this Realm would only drop treasure tokens and nothing else.

This was different from when he was in the Seven Stars Holy Land and the Blood Sect Game.

Furthermore...

He was pleasantly surprised to find that...

In killing this monkey troop, he actually successfully dropped a 【Green Treasure Token】!

This was consistent with his previous assumption.

Killing fierce beasts of the Blood Martial Realm could also drop 【Green Treasure Token】, but the probability was extremely low.

It would take killing roughly a hundred Blood Martial Realm fierce beasts to drop one 【Green Treasure Token】.

Only a one percent drop rate!

At the same time, he also discovered...

The second 【Green Treasure Token】 would not record kill counts.

All kill records would only be recorded in the first 【Green Treasure Token】.

No matter how many 【Green Treasure Token】 were obtained afterward, no records would be made.

"So what's the use of having more of these 【Green Treasure Token】?"

Xiao Shi fell into contemplation.

After some thought...

He speculated that the number of 【Green Treasure Token】 might reduce the exchange conditions for items when exchanging them.

For example, a certain item might require a kill count of one hundred to exchange.

But if he had two 【Green Treasure Token】, that item would only require a kill count of eighty to be exchanged.

In any case...

More 【Green Treasure Token】 were clearly better.

"I just don't know what kind of treasure token would be above the 【Green Treasure Token】?"

Xiao Shi was very curious.

It's just that he also knew...

The hope of obtaining a treasure token above the 【Green Treasure Token】 was slim.

If the drop rate of the 【Green Treasure Token】 was one percent, then the drop rate of a higher-grade treasure token might be one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand.

He shook his head.

Xiao Shi stopped thinking further.

Even if he couldn't get higher-grade treasure tokens, as long as he had enough 【white treasure token】 and 【Green Treasure Token】 in his hands, he could still exchange for powerful treasures in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

Now that the monkey troop had been dealt with...

He didn't plan to stay here any longer.

He was about to leave.

Suddenly...

Boom! Boom!

Xiao Shi clearly felt the entire ground shaking!

And the frequency of the shaking was getting faster and faster.

It was as if something was approaching here at an extremely fast speed.

"They're here!"

Xiao Shi suddenly turned his head.

Whoosh!

He saw a figure rushing over from the mountain above him.

This was a tall middle-aged man with a large battle-axe on his back.

There was a totem-like pattern on his face.

He was clearly from one of the body-refining clans in this Realm.

And behind this middle-aged man...

A six-meter-tall, pitch-black wild bull was chasing him.

The ground's shaking was caused by this wild bull.

Not only was this wild bull's body enormous, but its horns were even more ferocious and sharp, creating a tearing sound in the air.

Its eyes were blood-red.

White steam spewed from its nostrils.

It was in a state of rage.

It charged forward ferociously and violently.

The middle-aged man leaped down from the mountain and rushed towards Xiao Shi at high speed.

His intention was obvious!

The moment he was about to reach Xiao Shi...

The totem-like pattern on his face suddenly glowed, as if transforming into a mask.

Under the effect of this mask...

His figure directly disappeared.

From in front of Xiao Shi, he appeared out of thin air behind Xiao Shi.

This caused the furiously charging black wild bull to crash directly towards Xiao Shi.

A cold glint appeared in Xiao Shi's eyes.

He instantly realized... This person was clearly constrained by the prohibition on him, not daring to attack him directly, so he deliberately lured a powerful fierce beast, intending to use this fierce beast to kill him!

Through the speed of this black wild bull, Xiao Shi immediately saw that its strength had already reached the level comparable to the Martial Soul Realm.

And it was stronger than the previous Monkey King!

It was no longer something he could contend with.

Xiao Shi had already anticipated this person's trick before he arrived.

After all, among these body-refining clans, there were definitely some who wanted to kill them.

And when they couldn't personally kill them...

The best way was naturally to use the fierce beasts of this place to kill them.

If one was unprepared...

In such an emergency, it would be difficult to react in such a short amount of time.

However, since Xiao Shi had already anticipated this...

He was naturally prepared for it.

Buzz!

In an instant...

A jade stone appeared in his hand.

After crushing it...

A shocking impact force suddenly erupted from the jade stone.

This impact force directly acted on Xiao Shi's body, instantly sending his entire body flying into the air.

He just managed to avoid the black wild bull's charge.

Blood seeped from Xiao Shi's mouth.

Most of the bones in his chest were shattered, having suffered a heavy blow.

This jade stone was a treasure that the Clan Leader of the Tai Mu Clan had given him earlier.

Its main purpose was to store a portion of power within the jade stone.

At a critical moment, the jade stone could be thrown out, detonating the power within it, thereby forming a long-range attack.

Originally, Xiao Shi intended to use this jade stone as a long-range attack method.

To prevent anyone from snatching his kills.

But in the current situation...

He had no choice but to use it.

By using the power of the jade stone to blast him, he adjusted his angle and directly blasted himself into mid-air, thereby avoiding the black wild bull's charge.

Although the power within the jade stone was formidable...

No matter how formidable, it was not stronger than the black wild bull's charge.

If he were hit by this black wild bull, even with the toughness of his corpse, there was a high probability that it would be destroyed.

Currently, the effects of the 【body healing fluid】 he had applied to his body had almost worn off.

He definitely couldn't withstand this charge from the black wild bull.

Xiao Shi's sudden ascent into the air...

Completely caught the middle-aged man off guard.

He hadn't expected the other party to be able to react in such a short time, as if he had anticipated his actions in advance.

Leading to the failure of his plan!

And the black wild bull's hatred was still on him.

Xiao Shi was merely an obstacle in its path.

Now that this obstacle was gone, the black wild bull's speed did not decrease, and it continued to charge furiously at the middle-aged man.

"Damn it!"

The middle-aged man's face darkened.

He could only first move to block the black wild bull's charge.

While fighting the black wild bull...

He kept a close eye on Xiao Shi, who was beginning to fall from the sky.

He planned to lure the black wild bull over to kill Xiao Shi when Xiao Shi had fallen to a suitable distance.

Although his plan had been exposed...

He was still confident that he could kill the other party using this black wild bull.

Whoosh!

Xiao Shi's figure continued to fall.

He naturally also saw that this person had not given up his malicious intentions and was determined to kill him.

And the reason this person had such confidence...

Was also due to his strength.

This middle-aged man also had strength comparable to the Martial Soul Realm, but he was stronger than this black wild bull!

This was his reliance on being able to kill Xiao Shi with this black wild bull, even after his intentions were exposed.

He judged Xiao Shi's falling speed and distance.

Continuously approaching.

He planned to have the black wild bull charge forward when Xiao Shi landed, killing him in one fell swoop.

He believed that with the black wild bull's might, killing Xiao Shi would only take one blow!

After all, even he wouldn't dare to directly withstand the charge of this black wild bull.

But just as he had made a rough judgment...

Suddenly...

Xiao Shi's falling speed suddenly increased sharply!

He seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning, falling rapidly at an astonishing speed.

Not only that...

Xiao Shi's figure, while still falling, rushed directly towards the middle-aged man and the black wild bull.

This abnormal behavior...

Completely caught the middle-aged man off guard.

He had originally thought that Xiao Shi, in this situation, would undoubtedly be thinking about how to escape, not daring to approach them.

He had completely not expected the other party not only not to flee but to actively rush towards them.

And the astonishing speed unleashed by Xiao Shi also completely exceeded his expectations.

"What does he want to do!?"

The middle-aged man's brows furrowed tightly.

The next second...

He suddenly realized Xiao Shi's intention.

His entire face instantly changed drastically!
