387: Chapter 386 Goodbye Moro

As Illya's corpse was engulfed by the Black Flame, the System sent a series of notifications.

Chu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but frown deeply, reading them over carefully once more.

[You have slain the Elf Race's Illya! There is 7600 points of spiritual essence remaining in the flesh and blood of this body; Cangyun World has forcibly reclaimed 6080 points.]

[Upon detection, an unknown lifeform in this location intercepted 760 points of spirituality value; the remaining portion has been fed back to you as 304 points.]

[Current spirituality value: 14746]

Receiving three consecutive kill notifications from the System.

Chu Xuan finally understood why his kill yields had decreased so much previously; it turned out they were being intercepted by some unknown lifeform.

Perhaps because he was killing enemies using the Fire of Nirvana, the System provided specific notifications accordingly.

When he came here last time, Cangyun World would also intercept 80% of the spirituality value yields from kills Chu Xuan made in this location.

The remaining 20% would be split 40/60 with the original world.

Chu Xuan took 40%, equivalent to 8% of the total.

Yet this time, upon entering, there was actually another unknown lifeform that intercepted 10%.

Consequently, only the final 10% remained; by the time it reached Chu Xuan, his final harvest was only 4% of the total.

The yield was directly halved.

Compared to the harvest of killing Specters and taking everything, it could be described as worlds apart.

"The changes that have appeared before and after should be related to the tide here..."

Chu Xuan murmured softly, while also feeling a bit of regret; those few Martial Artists in the Guiyuan Realm had not yet been replaced by Specters, otherwise, the spirituality value harvested after killing them would have been tenfold.

Just as he was having this thought, another notification appeared from the System.

[Detected that you have slain the Elf Race leader Illya; your health points cap +500]

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow: "This Elf Race is truly a treasure; it added another 500 to the health points cap!"

On this trip, just the health points cap gained from slaying the Elf Race was 1100 points; calculating it, this was already a huge profit.

"Huh?"

Chu Xuan suddenly gave a soft exclamation; he saw the place where Illya died glowing, and a longbow could faintly be seen within it.

He immediately raised his hand to retrieve it.

[Name: Light Judgment]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Epic]

[Description: A specialized weapon for the Elf Race Venerable Rank; drawing this bow can gather one's own power of light to the maximum extent to condense into an arrow, carrying a burn effect, with an effective range of 2500 meters.]

[For every 1 second increase in draw time, the arrow's light energy intensity increases by 5%, penetration increases by 3%, and range increases by 10%. (Maximum draw time 30 seconds)]

[Usage Conditions: real attribute stamina > 10, real attribute strength > 11, real attribute spirit > 12, real attribute Charm > 15, and must possess the power of light attribute. (If real attribute have not been converted, each attribute requires an additional 20%)]

[Note: This is a specialized weapon forged by the Dwarf Race, pouring their heart and blood into it, crafted exclusively for Illya.]

"That really is a powerful ranged weapon..."

Chu Xuan was somewhat tempted, but unfortunately, the usage conditions were too numerous; just as the System notification indicated, only Illya could use it here.

Therefore, Chu Xuan did not spend spirituality value to perform System authentication to put it into his Exclusive Space; instead, he held it directly in his hand.

"This place... something seems wrong."

Suddenly, Chu Xuan's expression changed slightly, and a palpitation arose from the bottom of his heart.

This feeling of palpitation was quite similar to the feeling when he first arrived here not long ago, only it was much stronger at this moment.

At first, Chu Xuan thought it was caused by the ambush from Illya and the others.

But now it seemed that was clearly not the case.

"Is it because of this mountain?"

Chu Xuan's thoughts stirred, and he immediately flew down the mountain.

Sure enough, as he moved further away, although the palpitation in his heart remained, it had lessened significantly.

"I heard Moro mention before that one must not climb the mountain before the tide arrives; now it seems that even if the tide has arrived, one still cannot climb it. Illya fleeing towards the mountain might have been trying to seek life out of death..."

Chu Xuan's eyes flashed, and he accelerated.

At the same time, the erosion of the power of light that Chu Xuan was suffering finally came to an end.

This force had actually reduced his health points by over a thousand.

However, fortunately, during this period he had slain several members of the Elf Race, gaining a lot of health points, and the cap had also increased significantly because of it, so his vitality remained in a vigorous and active state.

[Current health points: 1620 / 3310]

At this moment, Chu Xuan had 1620 health points remaining, and his total health points had reached 3310.

If calculating the 50% health points threshold, it would be 1655 points.

And the skill description for [Unyielding LV.1] clearly states: "When your health points are not lower than 50%, your various base attributes will not weaken because of it."

However, Chu Xuan's current health points of 1620 were clearly lower than the 50% threshold.

Yet, apart from a hint of pain and discomfort, his various base attributes remained stable, showing no signs of weakening.

"Therefore, the 50% health points mentioned in this [Unyielding] skill description is based on the base health points related to the stamina attribute, rather than the total health points?"

Chu Xuan was thoughtful: "My current stamina attribute is 157 points, and the corresponding base health points is 1570 points."

"This means that as long as my health points are not lower than 785 points, I will always be within the coverage of the [Unyielding] skill, regardless of how the additional health points increase, it will not have any impact on this..."

Thinking up to here, Chu Xuan increasingly felt the power of the [Unyielding] skill, but upon second thought, he felt it should be that way.

"It's just that the Rank of this [Unyielding] has always been only Level 1, and it cannot be upgraded, which is a bit troublesome... It is far inferior to the corrupted king encountered in the War Dragon World back then, who could maintain Peak combat power even if only 1% of health points remained."

Chu Xuan pondered in his heart.

Not only the [Unyielding] skill, but even [Myriad Forms] obtained from the Phantom Demon was the same, always stuck at Level 1, unable to be further upgraded.

Soon, when Chu Xuan returned, the pursuit of the Elf Race by Tan Ziming and the others was nearing its end.

Only a few Elves remained alive; Chu Xuan did not strike again, letting the others continue the pursuit.

Following the directional sense towards Moro in his heart, Chu Xuan passed through layers of wooden stockade buildings and arrived before a seemingly ordinary wooden house.

This wooden house was not large; visually, the area was not even a hundred square meters.

But strangely, a circle of abrupt empty space formed around the wooden house, and there were no adjacent buildings around it.

Beyond a two-meter range, the ground seemed as if it had been overturned, with a mess scattered about.

Traces of burning and freezing still remained on the ground, and many broken arrows were scattered about.

It seemed that before this, someone had launched an attack on this wooden house, but in the end, they were firmly blocked outside by some kind of power and could not step in at all.

Chu Xuan flicked his finger, and a small pebble was flicked from between his fingers.

Snap!

Like ripples on a water surface, a layer of invisible membrane appeared, blocking the pebble outside.

Creak—

A harsh sound broke the silence, and the door was pushed open violently.

A group of Orcs and Dwarves with withered auras, mostly injured, stumbled out; in everyone's eyes, shock, fear, and complexity were interwoven as they gazed at Chu Xuan.

Just at this moment, a big-nosed Dwarf squeezed out from the crowd with great effort, dashed to in front of Chu Xuan like an arrow released from a bow, knelt on both knees, and slid over ten meters away on the ground.

Across the invisible barrier, he kowtowed deeply towards Chu Xuan and shouted loudly:

"My dear Master! Finally seeing your magnificent and heroic bearing again, Moro is truly too happy!"
