520: The Eighteen Divine Thorns of Takamagahara! Memory Reading!

"Huh? Is this one of those damn 'Little Baga'?" Su Lie's eyelid twitched, and he abruptly stood up.

In that moment, he intensely wanted to stomp the assassin's companion underfoot.

But he quickly suppressed his impulse.

He had considered that these people were assassins from various foreign races.

He never expected them to be this trashy group.

*Rustle! Rustle!*

After the beast collected the assassin's ashes, it cautiously walked forward.

As it entered the jungle, its figure vanished, entering a state of Invisibility.

Su Lie followed closely behind this person.

Although he could not see the target in the Invisibility state, he could determine the target's location using the mark he had left on him.

Another half hour passed.

After this person, walking slowly and hesitantly, had covered more than ten kilometers,

Su Lie followed him into a cave tunnel hidden among the weeds and brush of the jungle.

After this person sealed the entrance,

it followed the pitch-black, narrow passage until it reached a wide area.

The place was dilapidated and emitted a faint smell of decay.

Based on the direction this person traveled and the orientation of the cave passage,

he guessed that this passage must be an underground tunnel leading to a specific area within the Ruins City.

"Takeda-kun!"

When the person in black arrived, the dozen or so 'Little Baga' surrounding the campfire in the wide area suddenly stood up and greeted the newcomer.

Another person materialized from the Invisibility state and stood behind Saburo Takeda.

Saburo Takeda nodded and displayed the ashes of Kazumura Raiden to his companions: "Everyone! Kazumura has died by Su Lie's hand! Judging by Kazumura's ashes, we can determine that Su Lie possesses a high level of control over Lightning attributes!"

"Otherwise, Kazumura would not have been reduced to this state so quickly!"

After speaking, he sat down in front of the campfire.

Su Lie silently stopped behind the group and began listening intently.

A dwarf, resembling a gnome, asked, "Takeda-kun! Our strength is similar to Kazumura's. Even she, who was known as the Lightning Hand Blade, was no match for Su Lie. Wouldn't we just be delivering ourselves to him if we met Su Lie?"

"But Takama-ga-hara ordered us to kill Su Lie and seize his Skill and Talent at all costs! This mission is a death mission; once we accept it, there is no chance of turning back!"

A man with a scar on his face solemnly warned, "Otherwise, the rules will execute us directly!"

Saburo Takeda looked up at the man: "Baga! Ono-kun! We, the Eighteen Divine Assassins of Takama-ga-hara, are not cowards! But to deal with Su Lie, we must employ a strategy!"

"Currently, the only thing that can lure Su Lie into a trap is the treasure inside this Ruins City! We can place that treasure in a specific area!"

"This requires your agreement!"

He solemnly looked up at his other companions: "This is a supreme treasure that we collectively own!"

Ono-kun's eyes lit up. He turned and patted the person next to him: "Sasaki-kun's profession is an array master, and Tsuchiya, Yoshida, and Kitadai are control-type professions!"

This statement sparked discussion among the others.

Everyone supplemented and elaborated on the battle plan proposed by Saburo Takeda.

Soon.

A decoy plan targeting Su Lie was formally finalized by the group.

Saburo Takeda turned his head, glanced at the dwarf Kitada, and whispered, "Kitadai-kun! Go fetch our resources!"

"Yes!"

Kitada stood up and acted.

He saw that.

As it moved, it transformed into a stream of water, which instantly seeped into the soil.

Afterward.

Saburo Takeda took out food and began eating with the other Takama-ga-hara assassins.

Su Lie couldn't help but feel confused: "Takama-ga-hara? Isn't that the name of our batch's Evil God Church organization? The leader, Gouhachitaro... they have already defected to the Horned Basin Mountain Monoceros Ghost Chicken and are no longer Survivors!"

"But these people are all human!"

"Could there be another Takama-ga-hara organization?"

Su Lie could only define it as a duplicate name.

However.

Judging by the behavior of Saburo Takeda and the others, these people were specially trained assassins.

Su Lie attempted to use his Identification Talent on this group of beasts.

[Buzz!]

[The target possesses stealth-type Talent. Your Identification Talent cannot view the target's information!]

Su Lie could only sigh.

He immediately activated his Exploration Hint Talent.

[Buzz!]

Immediately, a series of Exploration Hint messages appeared in his vision.

[Walk left along the current passage to directly enter the City Lord's Mansion area of the current Dungeon, Ruins City! This area is illuminated by the light of the City Lord's Mansion core protection array, which prevents attacks from the Flying Maggot Demon Insect!]

[The Inner Mansion area of the City Lord's Mansion core district holds a special heavy treasure. Obtaining it will grant a rule-level item!]

[On the leaves at the top of the Jianmu tree, between 6 am and 8 am every morning, just as the sun rises, immortal dew will condense. immortal dew is a precious resource for many uses, including brewing wine, refining pills, forging with hammer fire, and brewing tea!]

[The Jianmu tree is in a state of demonic corruption and illness. If the Jianmu tree can be cured, unexpected benefits and rewards from the mist rule can be obtained.]

... In just a few seconds.

The Exploration Hint provided Su Lie with more than twenty pieces of exploration information.

Just as Su Lie was looking closely,

Kitada, who had left, transformed from water back into human form.

Upon appearing, it solemnly handed a storage ring to Saburo Takeda: "Takeda-kun! It's all here!"

After Saburo Takeda opened the ring and looked inside, he took out an item.

This was a scroll radiating red light.

As soon as this scroll appeared,

Su Lie keenly noticed a trace of greed in the eyes of the surrounding people: "What is that?"

"Since everyone has agreed, let's use this Undying Talent scroll as bait! But we need to..."

Saburo Takeda's voice sounded.

Su Lie's head buzzed upon hearing this, and only the four words Undying Talent echoed in his mind: "Good heavens! I had to struggle and use my Divine Thief Skill just to get a few Undying Talents, yet you damned grandsons casually pulled out a scroll!"

"It must be that there weren't enough to divide, so they stored it away first!"

He thought of the intentions of the 'Little Baga' and then secretly chuckled: "Haha! This talent scroll belongs to me!"

At this moment.

He could no longer suppress his emotions and directly appeared from his invisible state.

While Saburo Takeda was meticulously assigning tasks,

Su Lie used Mysterious Yellow Energy as a cost to activate the Glorious Sealing Skill.

In the blink of an eye.

All seventeen Takama-ga-hara assassins present were sealed into statues.

Except for the first one, whose expression remained natural, the rest of the statues wore expressions tinged with Fear.

Saburo Takeda, the last one sealed, had the most exaggerated expression.

Because he had witnessed his companions being sealed one after another.

He was firmly pressed down by Su Lie's hand, and the crisis of death left Saburo Takeda without the courage to even use a Skill or Talent.

Su Lie glanced at the Mysterious Yellow Energy and realized that this time using Glorious Sealing,

he had only consumed 1 point of Mysterious Yellow Energy.

This truly shocked Su Lie.

"Holy crap! Low-cost Skills take 1 point, and Glorious Sealing, which costs 100 million Spirit points, only requires 1 point of Mysterious Yellow Energy! That's incredible!"

Su Lie couldn't help but complain.

At this moment, he could clearly perceive, through the Xuanhuang Talent, the Mysterious Yellow Energy slowly absorbing power and Strengthening itself within the bodies of the seventeen Takama-ga-hara assassins.

What shocked him the most was that.

he could even perceive the Mysterious Yellow Energy in the environment of the Immortal Burial Mountain area outside the Dungeon's air wall, which he had healed.

This Mysterious Yellow Energy was vast and growing vigorously.

Su Lie didn't understand the principle behind this, nor did he dwell on it, choosing instead to begin stealing Lifespan.

Approximately six minutes later.

Su Lie obtained 144 attribute orb.

These included the seven major attribute orb: Life, Spirit, Endurance, Speed, Luck, Strength, and Charm.

As well as 32 elemental attribute orb in total (Elemental Affinity and Elemental Control) for 16 elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Rain, Lightning, Holy, Ice, Snow, Mist, Poison, Shadow, and Dark.

Among them, the attribute values for Luck and Charm were the lowest, averaging 10 million points.

The average value of the remaining primary attribute orb was 1 trillion, and the average value of the secondary elemental attribute orb was 300 billion points.

In addition.

Su Lie also stole 1,200 talent scrolls and 3,200 Skill scrolls.

Most of the Talents were of golden and purple quality, with only 96 talent awakening scrolls being god-tier quality.

The Skills in the Skill scrolls were basically all golden legend quality, and most of these Skills were life-support or auxiliary type Skills.

There was a series of Talents such as Healing, Fire Starting, Earth Control, Water Control, and Trace Elimination.

Very few of these Talents were valued by Su Lie.

According to Su Lie's calculation, each of the 16 lives had approximately 75 talent scrolls and 200 Skill scrolls stolen from them.

Furthermore.

Su Lie also acquired 16 lifespan pearls.

However.

The Lifespan in these orbs was pitifully low, with only 70 years of Lifespan remaining in each.

Like Kazumura Raiden, whom Su Lie had previously killed, the storage pouch of these 16 'Little Baga' only contained healing items and daily necessities, with no significant resources carried.

Su Lie also plundered 116 bloodlines from these 'Little Baga'.

Su Lie had already successfully awakened all these bloodlines, making them useless resources for him.

But they could be refined into bloodline expansion potion to earn money!

After Su Lie briefly checked these resources,

he finally walked up to the last person, Saburo Takeda: "The final intelligence can only come from him!"

As he spoke.

Su Lie took out a Skill scroll from his storage compartment.

This was an interrogation-type Spirit Skill of golden legend quality.

He first used Enhance to raise the Skill to god-tier.

Only then did he use the Skill scroll.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations on successfully awakening the Red God-level Quality Skill: Memory Reading Skill!]

[Memory Reading Skill: Red God-level Quality; Spirit-type Skill.

When the sum of your Spirit attribute value (the total attribute value after stacking bonuses from Talent, Skill, items, or resources like food and pills) is higher than the target, you can instantly and forcibly read the target's memory.

If the target's Spirit attribute value is 10 times higher than your total Spirit attribute value, your spell success rate is 0. If it is less than 10 times higher, your spell success rate is between 30% and 70%;

During memory reading, the target will lose all consciousness and lose control over their body and power.

Note: The higher the target's Spirit value, the lower your spell success rate.

Note: If the target possesses the Intelligence attribute, a judgment must be made on the Intelligence attribute value. If the target's Spirit attribute value is low, but the Intelligence attribute is 10 times higher than your Intelligence attribute, your spell success rate is zero.

Note: If the target's Spirit value is higher than yours, or if their Intelligence attribute is higher than yours, and your spell is successful, the target's Spirit and soul will suffer heavy damage, with a 40% chance of becoming vegetative.

Note: The Intelligence attribute determines the tenacity of a person's will. If the target's Intelligence attribute is low, and their Spirit value is also low, you can freely read the target's memory without causing any damage to the target's soul.]

"A judgment-type Skill!"

Su Lie looked at the prompt before him, the corner of his mouth slightly lifted.

With this Skill,

he could learn the secrets of Takama-ga-hara from the last 'Little Baga'.

Thinking up to this point,

he immediately unsealed Saburo Takeda.

This time, he worried that his Divine Thief Talent might kill Saburo Takeda, so he did not use his Divine Thief Talent directly on him.

Instead, he directly used the Memory Reading Skill!

Buzz!

Before Saburo Takeda could recover from the sealed state, his eyes widened, and he instantly lost his vitality.

Su Lie had already viewed Saburo Takeda's memory through the Memory Reading Skill.

This reading process was like watching a movie.

Su Lie could not only control the speed of the memory reading but also view Saburo Takeda's entire life like a film.

He had no interest in Saburo Takeda's experiences on Blue Star.

He quickly located the target's experiences in the Mist Main World.

Contrary to Su Lie's expectation,

this Saburo Takeda was actually from the same batch as Su Lie.

The difference was that.

the area of the Mist Main World where Saburo Takeda was located was different from Su Lie's area.

These dozen or so beasts joined the Mist Survivors Guild one day later than Su Lie.

They voluntarily joined Takama-ga-hara, a first-tier black market organization under the Guild, and became assassins specifically trained by Takama-ga-hara.

It could be said that the eighteen assassins, including Saburo Takeda, were consumables cultivated through force-feeding.

Otherwise,

based on their inherent ability, it would be impossible for them to possess higher levels, more Skills, and more Talents than Su Lie so quickly.

Not to mention the strong numerical quality of having at least 1 trillion primary attribute points each.

As Su Lie browsed, he quickly found the information he wanted.

Just as Su Lie was about to delve deeper into Saburo Takeda's memory regarding the Takama-ga-hara headquarters,

*Boom!*

Saburo Takeda's head directly exploded.

Su Lie immediately teleported away, avoiding being contaminated by the filth.

When he returned to Saburo Takeda's vicinity,

this 'Little Baga' was already dead.

Su Lie sighed and used his Divine Thief Talent on Saburo Takeda.

This time,

he only stole 24 Talents and 4 attribute orb.

Saburo Takeda's corpse, having lost the support of power and related Talents, quickly decayed into a pile of sludge.

Seeing this, Su Lie could only retrieve the Undying talent awakening scroll and Saburo Takeda's ring from the sludge: "It seems the idea of stealing power from dead beings is feasible, but you never get as much as you do from living beings!"

He didn't feel regret about this.

Subsequently.

Su Lie entered the invisible state again.

Only then did he use his Identification Talent on the Undying talent awakening scroll in his hand.

[Buzz!]

The next second, a panel automatically popped up from the Undying talent awakening scroll...
