323: Chapter 322 Breaking Limits Again

Tan Ziming's words were quite skillful.

He claimed to be asking Chu Xuan to help evaluate it, but in reality, it was to better gain his trust and prove that such a place truly existed.

He took off a beast-skin bracer that had a grayish-white sheen. After Chu Xuan took it, a System prompt immediately appeared.

[Name: Dwarven Bracer]

[Category: Armor]

[Quality: Rare]

[Function: stamina +24 (Maximum limit can be increased to 150 points)]

[Equipment Requirement: strength > 50]

[Remark: This is made from the old skin of the dwarf Bodo's buttocks. You deserve to experience its unique scent.]

Chu Xuan's eyes immediately filled with surprise.

The enhancement limit of this armor actually reached 150 points. In other words, even with his current stamina attribute of 130 points, wearing this item would still be effective.

Then, Xu Shuya and Su Qiaoqiao each took out a piece of equipment and handed it to Chu Xuan; both were items that could increase basic attributes.

Xu Shuya's was a wooden bow. The System remark stated it was a weapon from the elves, also of Rare quality. Using this weapon could add 15 points of agility and 5 points of strength, with a maximum limit of 150 points.

Not only that, but the arrows fired using this item could actually carry explosive damage.

Facing such treasures, Chu Xuan was slightly tempted, but in the end, he returned all the equipment to the three of them.

Setting aside the fact that these three were quite sensible, the fact that they intended to invite him to explore that Treasure Trove meant that murdering them for their treasure now would be no different from killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

After Tan Ziming took back the bracer Chu Xuan returned, his eyes flickered, and the smile on his face became visibly more relaxed.

"Boss Chu, I didn't have time to eat this savage blood fruit. I spent 5 points of my spirituality value to have it authenticated by the System before I could bring it out from there."

As he spoke, he took out a fruit about the size of a baby's fist and handed it to Chu Xuan. It was blood-red and emitted a faint glow, looking quite extraordinary at a glance.

After taking it, it felt warm in his hand. Chu Xuan felt a faint scent of blood Qi wafting into his nose, making him feel slightly feverish.

[savage blood fruit: After consumption, it can improve Physique to a certain extent. (This item has been authenticated by the System and has no hidden side effects.)]

"This savage blood fruit is very overbearing. After taking it, the pain is far beyond what an ordinary Transcendent can endure.

I ate one and was completely exhausted, nearly dying on the spot. If Qiaoqiao hadn't helped with Healing in time, I certainly wouldn't have made it.

However, the effect is also very obvious. My stamina, strength, and agility attributes all soared significantly, with an average increase of 8 points each. It's simply Heaven-Defying."

A hint of lingering fear appeared on Tan Ziming's face. "I don't have the luck to enjoy another one, so I'll give it to you, Boss Chu! But even if your stamina attribute far exceeds mine, you should still be careful; this thing is truly too overbearing."

Chu Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took the fruit.

Those unusual pieces of equipment had given Chu Xuan some expectations; perhaps this fruit could similarly benefit him now.

He popped it directly into his mouth.

Instantly, fragrance filled his throat as the juice flowed between his teeth. The texture was crisp and refreshing, accompanied by a slight fishy-sweet taste.

After it rolled into his stomach, he didn't feel much at first, but an intense heat soon rose, and his entire body's blood boiled instantly.

In an instant, Chu Xuan's whole body turned red. He felt as if the blood vessels throughout his body were about to burst, his blood surging like a raging river.

The pain and intensity were beyond words, no less than what he had experienced during the baptism of the Fire of Nirvana.

This scene immediately caused everyone present to change color. No one had expected Chu Xuan to just eat the savage blood fruit like that.

Su Qiaoqiao hurriedly stepped forward, preparing to use her Healing skill.

"No need!"

Chu Xuan raised his hand to stop her. This deep pain not only tempered his physical body but was also a form of honing for his spirit.

If he let Su Qiaoqiao heal him right at the start, he was afraid he would lose a lot of the effect.

Along with the accelerated blood flow, bursts of white Smoke rose from the surface of Chu Xuan's body.

Under this intense pain, it wasn't until ten minutes later that Chu Xuan finally let out a long, turbid breath of Qi.

This turbid breath actually shot out from his mouth like a sharp sword, slicing a tree as thick as a bowl not far away into two sections.

The severed part sizzled, looking as if it had been corroded by some kind of foul poison.

Chu Xuan felt refreshed all over.

"It... actually works!"

Chu Xuan's eyes shone. He had only been trying it out, but he hadn't expected that under the influence of this savage blood fruit, his three basic attributes would actually increase again.

[Your stamina +5, strength +3, agility +2]

...

stamina: 135!

strength: 133!

agility: 132!

These three basic attributes, which had already reached their Peak, had actually broken their limits and increased once more.

As Chu Xuan's red skin gradually recovered, the three of them still felt somewhat shocked, their faces full of dazed astonishment. "This... it's over already?"

Tan Ziming sucked in a breath. "I endured for nearly forty minutes back then, and that was with Qiaoqiao's help with Healing. Boss Chu, you only took about ten minutes? It's over that quickly?"

"Let's go." Chu Xuan waved his hand, not saying more about it, but his heart was full of anticipation for that Treasure Trove.

The group drove away. Over half an hour later, with the bright moon hanging in the sky, they arrived at a Chinese-style courtyard.

A man with a crew cut and a round, stout build was already waiting outside the gate.

Seeing the group arrive, he immediately looked delighted and came forward to greet them. "Heh, I've finally waited for you all."

He looked at Chu Xuan immediately, walking toward him like the wind, the fat on his face trembling as he grinned.

"This must be the new Inspector, the great Boss Chu Xuan, right? I've long heard of your great name. Seeing you is even better than hearing about you; you truly are a Dragon and Phoenix among men, with an extraordinary temperament. You are truly a role model for our generation..."

"Stop sucking up!"

Tan Ziming kicked the man's butt. They were clearly very familiar with each other. He introduced him to Chu Xuan: "Boss Chu, his name is Hu Antai. You can just call him Panghu."

"Hello, Panghu." Chu Xuan nodded with a smile, feeling that the man's Physique and appearance really did suit the name Panghu.

"Let's go inside first!"

Panghu led everyone through the main gate and headed straight for the backyard.

"I've sent everyone in the house away and set up items to shield and provide warnings. It costs me 10 points of spirituality value every day. We can do whatever we want here, as long as we don't tear the place down."

Panghu got straight to the point, first briefly introducing the situation here to Chu Xuan, and then discussing the information related to that Treasure Trove.

The content was roughly the same as what Tan Ziming had just described, but more detailed.

In particular, he pointed out that every time one enters, they appear at a random location within a certain area, not a fixed one. However, if they want to return, they must either wait three hours or return through the original passage.

It was worth mentioning that, perhaps due to some rule, the natives of that primeval forest were unable to follow them into the real world.

If people from reality wanted to enter that space, the weight of additional items carried, excluding themselves but including the clothes they were wearing, could not exceed 10 catties.

If this limit was exceeded, the items carried would be randomly lost upon entry.

Of course, items stored in the Exclusive Space were an exception.
