Chapitre 5: Great Elder of the Treasure Pavilion
Éditeur: Atlas Studios
Han Yi was stunned. He first struggled violently and continuously waved the poisonous fangs in his hand, as if he wanted to die together.
However… how could Xu You give him this chance?
After stabbing, Xu You quickly dodged and retreated, looking at Han Yi indifferently.
Han Yi's life force quickly dwindled during this process.
He stared at Xu You with eyes filled with hatred, but his mobility continuously dissipated during this process.
In the end, the light in Han Yi's eyes gradually dissipated.
His life force finally completely dissipated from his body.
Plop.
Han Yi's body finally fell to the ground.
He was dead.
When the python not far away saw this scene, a trace of fear and hatred flashed through its huge eyes.
After Xu You swallowed the Dragon Pearl, the powerful strength he displayed simply made it extremely afraid.
Moreover, the current Xu You gave him an extremely familiar feeling.
About a year ago, it had seen a young man who was extremely similar in strength and eyes in this mystic realm.
If not for its good luck, it would probably have died in the hands of that young man!
Hatred and fear intertwined in the python's eyes.
It hated Xu You very much and snatched the Dragon Pearl it was guarding.
However, at the same time, it did not dare to fight Xu You head-on.
The result of the collision was already obvious after seeing the state of the exploration team.
Moreover, as the guardian of the Dragon Pearl, it naturally knew how powerful the treasure was.
In the end, the python stuck out its tongue. Although its eyes were filled with unwillingness, it still slowly dived into the pool.
Clearly, it did not plan to continue fighting Xu You head-on but chose to give up on the Dragon Pearl.
Seeing the python dive into the pool, he heaved a sigh of relief.
If the python still wanted to fight him to the death, even if he could finally deal with it, he would definitely be heavily injured.
Xu You did not want to endure this result.
He found a water source in the cave and washed his body before changing into a set of clean clothes.
After doing this, Xu You turned his attention to the system space.
"Treasure: Thunder Dragon Pearl."
"Heroic Soul: Thunder God, Thor."
"Active Skill: Thunder God's Fury (In this state, the host's combat strength will increase by ten times. Negative effect: In this state, the host will become impulsive.)"
When Xu You saw this, he could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
He did not expect that the heroic soul in a Thunder Dragon Pearl he casually found would actually be the Thunder God, Thor!
Suppressing the joy in his heart, he took a deep breath and followed the way he came to find the exit of this underground cave mystic realm.
As soon as he crawled out of the cave, a few figures appeared in front of Xu You.
He quickly recognized these people.
Not far away, the white-bearded old man standing with his hands behind his back was the Great Elder of the Treasure Pavilion. He was the person in charge of their area.
Usually, the exploration team had to pass through the Great Elder to submit and receive missions.
Apart from that, there were also a few higher-ups of the Treasure Pavilion.
Everyone's gazes landed on Xu You.
After a long time, when they saw that no one walked out, everyone's expressions immediately became strange.
"Xu You, where are the others?"
"That's right. Didn't you go down with an entire exploration team? Why are you the only one coming up now?"
"Where's Han Yi? Isn't he the captain of your team? Why isn't he here?"
Not far away, the Great Elder did not ask at once like the others.
After seeing that no one else came up, the Great Elder's gaze firmly locked onto Xu You.
Then… his gaze gradually became sharp.
Something was wrong.
If it was said that in the previous exploration team, only Han Yi's aura could attract the Great Elder's attention, then, the aura of the current Xu You had completely surpassed Han Yi at that time.
In fact, the Great Elder was certain that the current Xu You's strength had definitely surpassed Han Yi!
The Great Elder narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Xu You, what happened to your strength? What happened in the cave?"
Hearing this, Xu You did not plan to hide the situation below.
After organizing his words, Xu You directly told him what had happened below in a relatively objective manner.
He included the part where he was forced by Han Yi and plotted against. In order to risk his life, he jumped into the pool and found the Dragon Pearl. In the end, he completed his revenge and escaped alone.
As Xu You explained, the expressions of the surrounding crowd were in disbelief.
Clearly, they did not dare to believe Xu You's experience.
However, after Xu You revealed his aura, they had no choice but to believe him.
When they recalled the power and rarity of the Dragon Pearl, greed immediately appeared in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Treasure Pavilion.
"Xu You, you've done quite well this time. You've made a very good contribution to our Treasure Pavilion. Now, hand over your Dragon Pearl."
"That's right. Although there are some flaws in this mission, since you found the Dragon Pearl for us, the result is not bad."
With just a few words, they said that this Dragon Pearl that had already been swallowed by Xu You was the private property of the Treasure Pavilion.
This made Xu You frown slightly.
One had to know that if one wanted to take out a treasure that had already been swallowed into their body, it would cause huge damage to the host.
In fact, if he was not careful, he would even die because of this!
Thinking of this, Xu You immediately frowned.
"Why should I hand over the Dragon Pearl? This is something I obtained myself. Why should I hand it to you?"
As soon as he said this, the gazes of the surrounding crowd immediately turned cold.
"Xu You, are you refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit?"
Xu You ignored him when he heard this.
For the sake of a treasure, these people did not even care about his life. Clearly, they did not treat him as a human.
Perhaps, in their eyes, Xu You was only a treasure-seeking tool that could be casually sacrificed!
In that case, why should Xu You be polite?!
Seeing this, the eyes of the higher-ups of the Treasure Pavilion were immediately filled with coldness.
Then, they exchanged glances and made a decision at the same time.
"Xu You, since you're disobedient, don't blame us for killing you and snatching your treasure!"
As they spoke, these people directly rushed toward Xu You and took out their weapons.
However, Xu You had already swallowed the Dragon Pearl. How could these people be his match?
In a few exchanges, they were all killed by Xu You.
When the Great Elder saw this scene, his calm expression changed.
Frowning slightly, a trace of anger flashed through his eyes.
"Xu You! You're really courting death!"
The Great Elder's attitude did not seem to think that the actions of the people from the Treasure Pavilion had gone overboard.
On the contrary, in his eyes, their actions were natural.
Xu You's resistance to them was the most outrageous!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Elder instantly attacked Xu You.
His superpower was an A-rank treasure, the Scarlet Flame Fruit. This was a treasure he had found in the mystic realm a long time ago.
It was with this treasure that he reached his current status.
He also believed that with this treasure, he could easily deal with Xu You.
However… after the real battle, the Great Elder understood that he seemed to have been dreaming.
After a few exchanges, he was actually unable to deal with Xu You.
The Great Elder's gaze became even angrier.
As the managing elder of the Treasure Pavilion in this area, he was originally sent by the headquarters of the Treasure Pavilion to organize various teams to explore and search for treasures before handing them over.
Logically speaking, every member of the exploration team should listen to his orders and commands.
However… not only did Xu You kill people from their Treasure Pavilion today, he even refused to hand over the treasure he had obtained under such circumstances.
This made the Great Elder feel that his dignity had been severely provoked.
Thinking of this, the Great Elder became even angrier.
"Xu You, are you really unwilling to hand over the treasure?"
There was no answer.
"You killed so many people from our Treasure Pavilion today. Our Treasure Pavilion will definitely not let you off!"
Hearing this, Xu You immediately sneered.
"They're courting death!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Great Elder was immediately even angrier.
"The Treasure Pavilion will definitely kill traitors no matter where they go!"
"The news here has long been sent to the headquarters of the Treasure Pavilion through our communication device."
"In other words, even if you can escape from me today, you definitely won't be able to escape the pursuit of the Treasure Pavilion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Elder attacked again.
Just as the two of them were fighting, a huge fog suddenly descended and covered them.
