Bab 14: Unexpected Surprise
Editor: Atlas Studios
Looking at the undead soldiers who had already turned into shattered armor on the ground, Xu You's eyes were filled with surprise and shock.
To be honest, Xu You did not expect the lightning of the Thunder Pearl to have such a huge effect on these undead soldiers.
Otherwise, if Xu You was slightly rash and fell into their encirclement, his outcome was definitely not much better than the other corpses in the temple.
Thinking of this, Xu You's eyes were also a little relieved.
Fortunately, the first treasure he had obtained was the Thunder Pearl of Thor.
After calming down, Xu You walked towards the Bottle of Life in the center of the temple.
His movements were not fast, and there was a sense of caution.
Even if Xu You had already dealt with those undead soldiers, he still did not completely lower his guard.
This was a mystic realm after all. No one could imagine how many variables there would be here.
Fortunately, Xu You was not worried in the end.
Soon, he approached the Bottle of Life in the center of the temple.
Xu You slowly stretched out his hand and slowly held the Bottle of Life in his hand.
When Xu You held the Bottle of Life, there was no strange feeling.
There was only a faint life force slowly spreading.
Then, Xu You did not hesitate and directly applied his blood, completing the fusion with the Bottle of Life.
"Bottle of Life: Before the Earth Goddess Gaia died, she returned everything to the world. Her Bottle of Life was also left in an unknown realm, waiting for the fated person to discover it…"
"Bottle of Life, Skill 1: Can continuously recover the host's condition in battle; Skill 2: Divine Pull: When the host is on the verge of death, he can use the Bottle of Life to save himself (Cooldown: 7 days)."
Looking at the notification in the system space, Xu You slowly clenched the Bottle of Life in his hand.
With this thing, it was almost equivalent to having a portable healer.
Taking a deep breath, the corners of Xu You's mouth slowly curled up.
With a thought, Xu You wanted to put the Bottle of Life into his body.
The glass bottle turned into a ray of light and quickly fused into Xu You's body.
The corners of his mouth curled up. After checking that there were no other treasures in the temple, Xu You quickly left and searched for the crowd again.
An hour later, Xu You stopped in front of a city wall.
During this process, Xu You had already encountered several groups of people.
Some people were excited, not knowing what treasure they had encountered. Some people's faces were ashen, clearly having suffered a serious blow.
What was worth mentioning was that the five-man team beside the sand tornado had also been encountered by Xu You.
However, their team seemed to have been separated. Xu You only saw three of them.
Xu You did not care about their mood. Instead, he directly asked about the situation without any politeness.
Those who could enter this place were all people who took risks.
Above benefits, there was no need to care about those complicated etiquettes.
In the end, he told Xu You that this was the most effective way to ask for information.
From those people, he learned that the huge city in front of Xu You had no end in sight.
It was the main city of the Fallen City!
Without any hesitation, Xu You directly entered the main city.
After about half an hour, Xu You encountered Ling Lan and Old Tame Head who were fighting in an alley.
Their opponent was a three-man team.
The strength of those three people was clearly inferior to Ling Lan.
However, Ling Lan had to divert her attention to take care of Old Tame Head and fight the three of them. Her attention was pulled, and her combat strength naturally decreased.
Therefore, the three of them were on par with Ling Lan.
Xu You's arrival directly broke the balance between the two sides.
The three of them quickly fell into a disadvantage. After glaring at Xu You angrily, they simply left.
After the three of them left, Ling Lan, whose breathing was a little chaotic, took the time to frown at Xu You.
"Your aura seems to have become much stronger."
Hearing this, Xu You nodded and did not make things too clear. "Yes, I encountered some opportunities."
Ling Lan nodded and did not ask in detail.
Before entering the Fallen City, they had made an agreement not to inquire too much about the other party's situation.
Whoever found the treasure would have it.
If the three of them were together, they would be assigned after leaving the mystic realm.
This was not absolutely fair, but it was the relatively fair method that this temporary team could find.
Old Tame Head was still in shock. He could not help but grab Xu You's hand and ramble on about the danger he and Ling Lan had encountered recently.
Only then did Xu You know that the two of them were different from him.
As soon as they entered the Fallen City, they were teleported to the location of the main city.
In the main city, they encountered many dangers and even almost died a few times.
If not for the fact that Ling Lan was powerful, it was really hard to say if Xu You could see them.
"During this period of time, I've more or less understood the current situation of the Fallen City."
"There are many experts on the Arcana Ranking here. They're all in the main city."
"There are even people whose strength… surpasses mine!"
At this point, the expression on her face was a little serious.
Her strength was not the strongest in the main city of the Fallen City, causing her to feel a sense of pressure.
"It's only those two. It's actually nothing."
Old Tame Head looked at Xu You's narrowed eyes and added at the right time.
Hearing this, Xu You heaved a sigh of relief.
If the main city was filled with ferocious people stronger than Ling Lan, he really needed to consider if he should leave the competition for the main city in advance.
However… if there were only two people stronger than Ling Lan…
Even with the current him, the Dragon Soul Team faced intense competition in the entire Fallen City!
"Right." The old man suddenly thought of something, "The two people we encountered outside are the two experts on the Arcana Ranking we heard when we were at the inn."
"One is called Zhang Ling, that crazy kid. He seems to be ranked 87th on the current Arcana Ranking. As for his ability, it's quite mysterious. However, what you can know is that he's also an S-rank mutant."
"There's also someone called Wang Qian. It's that kid who's quite impressive. He's ranked 53rd on the Arcana Ranking. His ability is a little clearer. He should possess the top-notch Immortal Bird among the S-rank treasures."
Hearing this, Xu You could not help but raise his eyebrows.
The two people he had encountered at the sand tornado were actually S-rank mutants?
This surprised him.
Ling Lan also nodded at this moment, "That Wang Qian is one of the people who can be confirmed to be stronger than me."
