146: Chapter 146 Ghost Knight

The rewards for clearing the stage... were indeed all clearly laid out.

"Whether it is or isn't doesn't matter. What matters is... finding a way to kill it. I'm short several hundred million years' worth of special metal." Mu Cheng didn't really care.

He also stated his determination; he had to get his hands on it.

"There doesn't seem to be a way. How about we just don't provoke it? It would be disastrous if an accident happened." Yue Chan still knew to act within her capabilities.

Mu Cheng complained, "Sigh, if only Little Piglet were here, it would definitely have a way... Now it seems I can only give up."

"It's not without hope. If you can hold out a bit longer, it shouldn't be a big problem," Yue Chan spoke up.

Wanting to wear down a Ninth Order Peak Blazing Giant Python alive? Go to sleep! You can have anything in your dreams.

"You say hold out just like that? If I can't hold out, my life might be gone." Mu Cheng didn't want to take that risk.

Although the item was good, one had to be alive to get it.

Yue Chan thought for a moment and said, "If you can recover faster than it, it'll be fine. Too bad... there doesn't seem to be a way."

"Wait, this thing should be fine!" After saying that, Mu Cheng took out a box of high-tech rice balls.

Three months ago, these things were survival essentials...

Of course, the reason they were in Mu Cheng's hands was actually because Tao Mumu wanted to throw them away.

However, Mu Cheng had stopped her in the end; otherwise, these high-tech rice balls, worth over ten million, would have been long gone.

"You... still kept these things? They have them too, right?" Yue Chan was naturally very familiar with these high-tech rice balls.

They melted in the mouth and were colorless and tasteless, but eating one piece meant one basically didn't need to worry about food for a day.

Mu Cheng said, "Of course I kept some, but I reckon they probably won't need them!"

"Fine then... In that case, I'll leave the Blazing Giant Python to you!"

Yue Chan acted like a freeloader, taking out a sofa and lying down. She pulled out a bottle of Happy Fat Boy Water and began enjoying the peak of life.

"Alright! Leave it to me." Mu Cheng also expressed his helplessness.

But thinking that he was a real man, he didn't dwell on it... he just let Yue Chan have a good rest.

With the high-tech rice ball available, Mu Cheng didn't hold back his strength at all and struck with full power every time.

It was just that every attack was useless... he still couldn't break through the Blazing Giant Python's offense.

Even though he couldn't break through, Mu Cheng had no intention of stopping, clearly using it as a live target.

A full hour passed, and finally, the Blazing Giant Python was worn out, collapsing on the ground and gasping for breath, unable to stand up again.

"Hey, get up! I haven't had enough fun yet," Mu Cheng shouted, kicking the Blazing Giant Python's head twice.

The Blazing Giant Python felt a bitterness it couldn't voice... but it was helpless. It couldn't move at all and could only let Mu Cheng do as he pleased.

"It's really a pity for this fellow; its whole body is a treasure. But getting the billion-year special metal is also not bad," Yue Chan suddenly remarked.

At this moment, she was standing silently behind Mu Cheng.

"I say, Sister... do you make no sound when you walk? You gave me a huge fright," Mu Cheng said, startled.

He thought they would just let the Blazing Giant Python go like this, but who knew Dun Dun would suddenly spring into action and start taking huge bites.

Just like that, the Blazing Giant Python... a dignified Ninth Order Peak monster, was actually bitten to death.

"This fellow... isn't it an Iron-Eating Beast? Shouldn't it eat metal?" Mu Cheng looked completely bewildered.

Yue Chan replied, "Who are you asking? Besides, isn't this your little guy?"

"Let it eat its fill. Sister, your storage space can't fit such a large piece of billion-year special metal, can it?" Mu Cheng asked first, not in a hurry.

Although Yue Chan felt it was a great pity, she was helpless and had to negotiate terms with Mu Cheng.

"This piece of billion-year special metal could be sold for at least a hundred billion star-glow crystals! I don't want much, just leave me thirty billion."

"Fine! I don't have thirty billion right now, so I'll owe you for now." Mu Cheng didn't stand on ceremony and stored the billion-year special metal.

Yue Chan said, "Fine! Anyway, you can't run away."

About ten minutes later, Dun Dun had actually finished eating the entire Blazing Giant Python, the kind that didn't even spit out the bones.

"This fellow can really eat." Yue Chan had to admit it and was thoroughly impressed.

Mu Cheng said, "If I had known it was so powerful, I would have just let it bite earlier. We wouldn't have needed to do anything."

Soon, Dun Dun continued to lead the way at the very front. Mu Cheng and Yue Chan followed closely behind, entering a dense network of passages again.

What was originally indicated as a one-kilometer journey took the two of them a full three hours.

Finally, they arrived at another huge space, which was a Black Desert.

"It's the earth core. I really didn't expect there to be such a good thing here," Yue Chan said very excitedly.

In the middle of the desert was a white lotus flower, and it could be clearly seen emitting a very thick aura of energy.

Mu Cheng asked, "Is this earth core... really that good? I'm quite curious about what's so good about it."

"The earth core allows a person to absorb external energy, and it can purify it so it can be directly absorbed and refined to increase one's strength," Yue Chan answered.

This item was expensive because of this; having enough external energy was equivalent to having a continuous stream of cultivation resources.

Such a thing... its price was naturally priceless!

"This thing... is indeed quite good." Mu Cheng also suddenly became interested.

If this were given to the young ladies of Menglou Pavilion, their strength would definitely increase by a large margin.

Yue Chan thought for a moment and said, "This thing will probably be very hard to take down. How about I don't want those thirty billion star-glow crystals anymore? After you and I take it down with all our strength... what if I use it for a month and then give it to you?"

One month was enough for her to break through to the Ninth Order, so she was determined to get it!

The most crucial point was that this thing was useless once one surpassed the Ninth Order, which was why she was negotiating terms with Mu Cheng.

"No problem," Mu Cheng agreed readily.

"I'll go lure out the guardian monster."

Yue Chan intended to go up, but she was pulled back by Mu Cheng. "Let me do it instead!"

As Mu Cheng gradually approached the earth core, a figure suddenly emerged from nowhere.

It was the Ghost Knight, wearing white-robed armor and holding a silver spear.

Its build was similar to a human's. Atop its warhorse, it looked as majestic as could be.

"This is a half-step Realm King God Ghost Knight... although it's restricted, it's still much stronger than the Ninth Order Peak." Yue Chan was able to recognize the Ghost Knight.

This showed that she had put in plenty of work and energy in this area.

"Let me face him first." Mu Cheng didn't retreat; instead, he took the initiative to attack.

Still holding the black gold spear, he approached the Ghost Knight with great caution.

"Humans, all of you shall die!"

The Ghost Knight roared while holding its silver spear and charged toward Mu Cheng on its warhorse.

Don't be fooled by it just being a warhorse; its speed was actually extremely fast, and wherever it passed, space would crack, recover, and crack again.
