"So, if I kill your main body, there's a chance a scarlet card will drop, and then I can retrieve your equipment from the scarlet card?"
Qin Jie asked with a frown.
Hearing this, Shu Zida's expression changed: "Why are your thoughts so dangerous?"
"Then what do you mean?" Qin Jie retorted.
"What I mean is, I have a way to give you all the equipment on me."
"My Soul was split into two, a bit lighter than that crazy woman's. Although I failed my mission, because the Paradise couldn't figure out exactly who the target for execution should be, I managed to survive."
"Normally, when a Contractor dies, everything on him is confiscated by the Paradise. But my situation is like dying without fully dying, so my equipment and such are actually still on me,"
"Therefore, my original body still has the identity of a Contractor. As long as you take out the Seven-Faced Warrior guarding my corpse, I can temporarily return to my body and then trade the equipment on me to you."
"However, if I do that, I'll probably be detected by the Paradise and executed on the spot. So I'll give you as much valuable equipment as possible."
When discussing death, Shu Zida didn't show much emotion. In his current situation, death was inevitable.
Since that was the case, it was better to increase Qin Jie's chances of survival; at least then he could die with some peace of mind.
Aside from those who, like Qin Jie, actively entered this world, Shu Zida and the unlucky C, who were assigned to this world, were not very honest people. So Shu Zida was not a good person.
It was simply because Qin Jie leaving this world alive would be helpful to his wife and daughter.
Qin Jie did not refuse the suggestion, "Okay."
Shu Zida gave Qin Jie a resentful look, "My suggestion is so self-sacrificing, and your reaction is so bland?"
Qin Jie shrugged, "I prefer to express my feelings through action."
"I hope you're truly a man of action," Shu Zida mumbled, then began to lead the way.
Because of the Magikarp just now, the water level on the ground was much higher. Not only that, but the surrounding palaces were largely destroyed, so Qin Jie couldn't walk on the eaves.
Suddenly, Qin Jie's brow furrowed slightly. The devouring abyss switched to its greatsword form, and then he swung it violently.
"Bang!"
The sword strike in the water was like a muffled thunderclap rising from the ground, directly creating a vacuum in the area. Under Qin Jie's sword, a Magikarp Derivatives was struggling madly, and after a moment, it stopped moving.
Below the water surface, a large number of dark shadows moved. It seemed that because of the Magikarp, a large number of Magikarp Derivatives had appeared in the water.
Unlike Shuisheng Village, these Magikarp Derivatives were much stronger in the water than on land. Therefore, Qin Jie had to constantly activate his Eye of Insight to prevent attacks from the Magikarp Derivatives.
Shu Zida, as an Okami Guard, didn't have to worry so much. These Magikarp Derivatives wouldn't attack him; otherwise, he would have died halfway already.
"Hey, buddy, be careful. These fish aren't as gentle with you as they are with me," Shu Zida kindly reminded him, but secretly felt a little pleased.
After all, Qin Jie's previous attitude seemed a bit arrogant to him. If he didn't genuinely need the other party's help, he wouldn't have been so humble.
"Got it."
To this, Qin Jie only responded faintly.
Shu Zida could only lament.
"Damn it, why did I meet a mute before I died? Is it so hard to say a few more words?"
A moment later, the two finally arrived at a dark, narrow passage. At the end of the passage, a faint purple fire could be seen.
This was the symbol of a vengeful spirit creature.
"Wait a moment at the entrance."
Qin Jie instructed, then walked in without looking back.
Watching Qin Jie walk in, Shu Zida grumbled with some dissatisfaction.
"Just a moment, as if you can really do it that easily."
"That Seven-Faced Warrior is a Great Vengeful Spirit, and he also has mutations. I remember when I wasn't dead yet, I was considered a powerful expert in my own right, but unfortunately, the Seven-Faced Warrior was superior in skill, and I was not in good condition at the time, so I made one wrong move and lost to the Seven-Faced Warrior."
In fact, his strength at the time was indeed not bad, but none of his equipment could resist the Seven-Faced Warrior's instant-death Spell, resulting in him being killed on the spot in one encounter.
"That Seven-Faced Warrior possesses purple ghost fire that can trigger instant-death effects, as well as powerful laser Spells. Although his melee combat is a bit weaker, he can quickly shift his position, making him excellent at escaping."
"Not to mention he's also a vengeful spirit, immune to a lot of physical damage."
"Bad news."
Shu Zida frowned.
"I didn't even ask if that guy had Divine Flying Snow on him. If he doesn't, he'll probably have a nine out of ten chance of dying against the Seven-Faced Warrior."
"But that guy looks like a ruthless person. I have a hunch he should be able to defeat the Seven-Faced Warrior."
It should be fine, right?
Probably.
"Hey."
A hand silently rested on Shu Zida's shoulder, startling him into a sudden tremor. He saw Qin Jie standing behind him.
"Can't you just say hello properly? Do you have to use such a terrifying method?" Shu Zida said angrily, then asked proudly, "So, did you realize you forgot to bring Divine Flying Snow? I actually have one."
"No need." Qin Jie shook his head, "I've already dealt with him."
?
These words immediately caused Shu Zida's brain to momentarily crash. He clearly didn't understand what Qin Jie was saying for a moment. After a while, he frowned and asked, "Your lying skills are too poor, and even if you lie to me, it's meaningless. After all, the only valuable thing I have is a Samsara Merchant Guild savings card, and even if you trick me into dying, you can't use this card."
"Really dealt with him."
Qin Jie repeated again.
This answer made Shu Zida crash again for a moment, but seeing that Qin Jie's expression didn't seem fake, he hesitated and asked.
"Really dealt with him?"
Qin Jie was a bit speechless.
How should he put it?
The Seven-Faced Warrior was indeed the strongest Great Vengeful Spirit he had encountered so far, even stronger than the enhanced Wu Shou he had met before.
But Qin Jie fought him with an inexplicable ease.
The general process was:
Enter the cave, activate Hunting Perspective.
The Seven-Faced Warrior attacked Qin Jie, which triggered the effect of the tengu mask, causing his body to become visible, and he took a fully charged Thunderclap.
Then the Seven-Faced Warrior subconsciously used teleportation to escape. Because one teleportation couldn't create enough distance from Qin Jie, he simply used it twice in a row.
Then he instantly lost 80% of his health and died on the spot.
The entire kill process took less than 10 seconds, and Qin Jie gained 6 attribute points and a blue treasure chest.
After confirming that Qin Jie had killed the Seven-Faced Warrior, Shu Zida's entire expression changed.
In his current state, it could be described as disbelief.
Qin Jie killing the Seven-Faced Warrior was like the Seven-Faced Warrior killing him, which made him feel a bit overwhelmed.
Buddy, are you really LV6?
