Chapter 715: Guardian Beast
Chapter 715: Guardian Beast
Bing Province, Flame Yellow Mountain Fortress, within the training grounds of the mountain fortress.
Lu HaiKong's first Mythical Treasure Chest had yet to be used, but based on his experience, it should yield better results than the Divine Martial Pill, marking a successful start.
Sometimes, luck just flows in a mysterious way. Once you get a good start, things often continue smoothly, just like Lu HaiKong's current situation.
As Lu HaiKong's second Mythical Treasure Chest disappeared, a drop of crystal-clear blood, like a piece of jade, appeared before him.
The moment this drop of blood appeared, the temperature of the surrounding air suddenly rose by several degrees. At the same time, Lu HaiKong felt a mysterious and familiar power.
"Phoenix Blood!" Lu HaiKong exclaimed, his mouth wide open and eyes shining with excitement.
Ever since obtaining the Prop Repair Token, Lu HaiKong had been searching for the four items needed to repair the Phoenix Tear. However, he also knew that anything related to divine beasts would not be easy to find.
Lu HaiKong had prepared for a long battle and even considered accumulating strength over time before entering the Dragon Valley to slay the dragon and obtain its blood. But to his surprise, while opening the treasure chest, he discovered a drop of Phoenix Blood.
Upon seeing the Phoenix Blood, Lu HaiKong immediately took out the Prop Repair Token and the damaged Phoenix Tear, intending to use the blood to repair it.
Without hesitation, Lu HaiKong took action. This time, no unexpected events occurred during the repair process. When Lu HaiKong chose to repair the item, the system promptly began its work.
Lu HaiKong's Prop Repair Token shattered in his hand, transforming into a multicolored glow that enveloped the Phoenix Blood and the damaged Phoenix Tear.
Lu HaiKong watched as the Phoenix Blood gradually merged into the necklace.
As the blood merged, Lu HaiKong witnessed the shattered pendant of the Phoenix Tear slowly mend.
The numerous cracks healed one by one, and a mysterious power began to circulate on the Phoenix Tear.
The entire repair process was filled with mystical colors, surprisingly smooth and seamless. In just a few minutes, the multicolored glow gradually dimmed, and the Phoenix Tear was finally restored as the glow faded completely.
[Congratulations! Your item, Phoenix Tear, has been successfully repaired and enhanced!]
A smile crept onto Lu HaiKong's face as he casually opened the attributes of the repaired Phoenix Tear.
Phoenix Blood
Item Type: Mysterious Item
Item Owner: Lu HaiKong
Item Description: This is a mysterious and powerful necklace. The wearer will have the right to reclaim their life from the hands of the King of Hell.
The item description was straightforward, even simpler than the previous Phoenix Tear. The only change was the name, now called Phoenix Blood.
Lu HaiKong was extremely pleased with this necklace. As the owner of this item, he didn't need the system's introduction to understand its effects.
Just as the system stated, the necklace had indeed been enhanced. Now, this Phoenix Blood not only possessed the ability to rebirth but also had an additional function to assist in cultivation and store inner strength.
Lu HaiKong had just learned about this effect, and he needed to test it to understand its specifics.
Lu HaiKong was satisfied that the second Mythical Treasure Chest had repaired the necklace. After playing with the Phoenix Blood for a while, he hung it around his neck, ready to open the last treasure chest.
The first two of the three Mythical Treasure Chests had already yielded such rewards, leaving Lu HaiKong content. In his opinion, this round of treasure chests had been a success, and even if the last one didn't yield much, it wouldn't be an issue.
However, Lu HaiKong didn't expect his luck to be so good. When he opened the third treasure chest, a crystal the size of a fist appeared before him, translucent and pure.
The crystal was a dull yellow, with a somewhat uniform color. Lu HaiKong could vaguely see something hidden within it.
This was the first time Lu HaiKong had encountered such an item, and out of curiosity, he examined it closely. After a while, he activated his powerful Celestial Eye Technique to appraise the crystal.
Mountain Crystal (Guardian Beast)
Item Type: Mysterious/Territory Item
Item Description: This is a mysterious territory item that grows by feeding it money and the faith of territory residents.
Usage: Place it on the Assembly Hall or the city walls.
Another straightforward introduction, but this time, Lu HaiKong's pupils constricted at the sight of the item.
He never expected that this translucent, amber-like crystal, resembling a piece of fine glass, was actually a Guardian Beast. He had coveted this item when he first saw it on the Han Camp's Merit Exchange List, but the conditions weren't right then, so he hadn't redeemed it. Now, he had acquired it under these circumstances.
Lu HaiKong was well aware that the simpler the introduction, the broader the functionality and the higher the value.
Although the system's description was brief, Lu HaiKong, with his Celestial Eye Technique, understood many things not mentioned, such as how to make this creature absorb faith and its range of activities.
However, since Lu HaiKong hadn't actually used this Guardian Beast yet, he wasn't entirely sure about its capabilities. It would only become clear once activated.
In the 1691st chapter, a glance at the book confirmed it was the correct version.
As he thought about activating the Guardian Beast, Lu HaiKong hesitated slightly, wondering where to place it. Should he put it in the Flame Yellow Mountain Fortress or use it in the Northern Seal?
After a few minutes of consideration, Lu HaiKong made a decision.
"Although most of the wanderers have evacuated the Northern Seal, there are still quite a few remaining, and various forces have spies there. It's better to place the Guardian Beast in the Flame Yellow Mountain Fortress."
Aside from this reason, there was another factor—the Flame Yellow Mountain Fortress was the most secretive place under Lu HaiKong's command.
As Lu HaiKong's starting point, the Flame Yellow Mountain Fortress not only had the Fire Battalion, a 'military academy,' but also the Shrine of Spirits, which produced talent for the Fire Battalion. Behind the fortress was a ranch for the Beast Cultivation Program, and within the fortress were Lu HaiKong's Blacksmith Camp and Woodworker Camp, two military industrial forces.
With all these elements combined, it was clear how important the Flame Yellow Mountain Fortress was to Lu HaiKong. As Lu HaiKong had been deploying strong defensive forces there for a long time, it was inevitable that someone would target the fortress eventually. Therefore, he needed to further enhance its defenses.
Currently, the primary defensive force outside the fortress was Pan Feng's personal guard legion, along with a defensive force led by Ma Pian, whom Lu HaiKong had transferred there recently. There was also another force.
This force was somewhat special because, to some extent, it wasn't a human force but a spirit force, and the one controlling it was the recently born Dynasty, an English spirit.
After being born as an English spirit, Dynasty immediately displayed exceptional abilities, even capable of selecting and nurturing fallen soldiers into English spirit soldiers. If this force were fully developed, they alone could ensure the safety of the entire Flame Yellow Mountain Fortress. However, unfortunately, this force was still in the process of being nurtured, and Dynasty had fallen asleep again to nurture the English spirit soldiers, so their future was promising, but they couldn't take on significant responsibilities yet.
Therefore, Lu HaiKong decided to use the Guardian Beast in the Flame Yellow Mountain Fortress, hoping it would protect the fortress until the English spirits matured. After all, although Lu HaiKong had transferred Pan Feng there, he didn't intend to confine him to the fortress.
Having made his decision, Lu HaiKong prepared to take action.
"I've opened all the chests, and now there are only two rewards left. Surely, the rewards won't be like the chests, suddenly giving me millions of gold to crush me, right? Let's go to the Assembly Hall to claim those two rewards."
As Lu HaiKong spoke, he held the Guardian Beast and was about to head to the Assembly Hall.
Just as Lu HaiKong was about to leave, a sharp gaze caught his attention, and he inadvertently saw a figure outside the training ground, looking timid and hesitant.
Despite the distance, Lu HaiKong instantly recognized Pan Feng.
Seeing Pan Feng's timid appearance, Lu HaiKong was taken aback, realizing what he was afraid of.
Recently, Lu HaiKong had been taking Pan Feng out for training during his free time, always at the training ground. Over time, Pan Feng had become sensitive to the combination of Lu HaiKong and the training ground, worrying that Lu HaiKong might call him out for another round of harsh training.
Seeing Pan Feng's expression, a wicked smile crept onto Lu HaiKong's lips...
