I can find treasures in my dreams.

Chapter 545 Trophies

A minute passed.

"Keng!"

Accompanied by the sound of a sword ringing out.

A sword light carrying a sharp killing intent slashed down from the sky, instantly piercing into the water hundreds of meters deep, accurately striking the high-level knight-level spirit beast.

Before the sword light even arrived, the severely wounded soul of this strange beast already showed signs of dissipating.

In an attempt to save its life, it made a final, desperate struggle.

A deep blue crystal ball, about the size of the beast's eyeball and roughly the size of a basketball on the planet Azure, was spat out by it.

The crystal ball vibrated with a "hum" and instantly expanded into a phantom water curtain. The surrounding water instantly split into hundreds of water walls, completely surrounding the strange beast.

Each wall of water was extremely dense and viscous. Even for a knight with amazing physical strength, it would be difficult to insert an arm into a wall of water and then pull it out.

But this is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The sword light effortlessly pierced through all the water walls and then easily penetrated the water curtain.

This demonstrates just how terrifying the power of the Law of Destruction is.

The sword light split into three, each striking one of the three "brain-like" objects.

"Boom! Boom!"

The three brains exploded simultaneously.

This powerful monster, which had roamed a mysterious sea for hundreds of years and had wiped out countless exploration teams from the civilized world, has now perished.

Yang Fan immediately smiled.

This is the second time he has killed a high-ranking knight. The last time it was a powerful figure from the Blue Sky Civilization, and now it has been a primordial monster.

The sword light swept back, bringing back a blue crystal sphere.

Yang Fan glanced at it, and his smile deepened.

Because this is actually the top-tier item among level four rare materials—the Lan Shui Ming Pearl.

This should be the most valuable treasure in the Spirit Beast's waist pouch. Even some Venerables who are not wealthy enough will take a second look at this item.

Just by acquiring this trophy, this battle has already been a huge success.

A glint of light flashed in Yang Fan's eyes, and he instantly understood the purpose of the Lan Shui Ming Pearl.

He extended a finger and tapped it lightly. The basketball-sized crystal ball spun and shrank to the size of a fish ball in the blink of an eye.

"Wow~"

Water waves emanated from inside the crystal sphere.

A supernatural water-based power of extremely high level descended upon the turbulent currents below, stirring up the corpses of strange beasts that had sunk to the bottom of the river.

A water dragon shot into the sky, bringing the enormous corpse to Yang Fan's front.

He waved his hand and put it into his spatial ring.

at the same time.

Jade Cicada swept past, instantly absorbing the remaining True Source Value—962 points.

This surprised Yang Fan slightly.

Despite the fierce battle, the beast still had a lot of True Source Value left, which was entirely worthy of the title of High-Rank Knight.

In addition, he saw a huge surprise.

[Nine Luminaries Spirit God]: Not activated, mid-grade mental ability, activation requires 3260 Spirit Source Points and 380 True Source Points.

Judging from the energy required to activate it, this is definitely an exceptionally powerful mental ability.

Yu Chan also provided a detailed explanation, stating that the Nine Luminaries Spirit God can not only greatly enhance mental strength, but also has many wonderful uses.

For example, when the beast was attacked by the powerful Yang Flame, it released a mental force field that actually blocked more than 90% of the Yang Flame's fire. This was the effect of that ability.

The force field has a name—the Celestial Ring of the Spirit God.

For example, when the strange beast was being tracked by the high-level magic line, it was able to interfere with the magic line, which was also a miraculous effect of this ability.

As is customary, directly activating superpowers is not cost-effective; fusion is the most efficient way to save True Source Points.

Yang Fan grasped the jade cicada, quickly scanned it, selected the previously activated low-grade ability "Refining Spirit" and several other unactivated abilities, and activated the fusion function.

The True Source Value dropped by 165 points instantly, and a powerful new ability was added to the list of abilities.

[Nine Luminaries Spirit God: Activated, mid-grade mental ability, currently at 32% evolution level.]

The attributes also saw a leap forward.

Physical Strength: 1495

[Spirit value: 3084]

【Yuan Gang: 44625】

The physical strength value didn't increase much, only a little over 20 points, but the mental strength value increased by more than 150 points in one go, finally breaking through the 3000-point mark.

For a mid-level knight, this is an extraordinary increase.

This once again confirms a statement in the "Secret Codex"—starting from the Knight level, the benefits of improving one's supernatural abilities far outweigh those of improving physical attributes.

With a thought, two large clusters of pale silver magic lines quickly appeared in Yang Fan's mind.

One of the bundles was connected to the crocodile monster that had just given up and left.

The other beam pointed towards the Black Whirlbirds.

If you run into this knight, none of you will escape!
But he was immediately proven wrong.

The second magic thread only extended for a little over a hundred kilometers before reaching its limit and being forced to stop.

Yang Fan paused for a moment, looking surprised: "These birdmen are fast. It seems difficult to catch them."

It's obvious to anyone with a brain that the Black Whirlbirds possess a spatial teleportation technique, and they were terrified of the "Great Sword Set," which is why they hurriedly fled.

On the other hand, this shows that the Black Xuan civilization is not weak, otherwise they would not have dared to hunt the Crocodile Monster.

Yang Fan shook his head, filled with regret as a large sum of True Source Values ​​seemed to have grown legs and slipped away.

ten minutes later.

The mid-level knight-level crocodile monster lay motionless on the ground, every scale on its body etched with the word "fear".

It could not help but be terrified, for a terrifying great sword, the Taiyue Sword, was hanging over its head.

The Taiyue Sword trembled slightly from time to time, as if it longed to drink its blood.

The crocodile monster had a strong intuition from the depths of its soul that no matter what methods it used, it would be absolutely unable to withstand the sword's strike.

In other words—once the sword is drawn, death is certain!
Yang Fan, holding the Tiger Talisman of the Sacred Artifact Legion, glanced indifferently at the Crocodile Monster: "Open your soul."

There are still some "empty slots" inside the sacred artifact, and he plans to turn the crocodile monster into the first knight-level battle spirit.

Because the resources of the Beast Maze are richer than those of the Deathly Black Sand Sea and the Weeping Green Sea, the Azure Civilization will inevitably develop this place. The Crocodile Monster is not weak and its various abilities are quite balanced, making it very suitable to be a bodyguard for the Azure people.

The crocodile monster kept its eyes tightly closed and did not react at all.

This is a silent form of resistance.

This is normal.

After all, no living being would willingly open its soul to another, because there is only one consequence of doing so—becoming a slave.

Yang Fan added casually, the threat in his words clear: "If you don't agree, I'll skin you alive and pull your tendons out."

"Keng!"

Taiyue Sword responded positively.

The crocodile monster shuddered and its neck shrank even shorter.

Yang Fan thought for a moment and then used a new threatening tactic: "I will also imprison your soul for three hundred years."

On a whim, he took out the Evil Spirit Curse Jar.

"Ah~"

A piercing scream rang out, and a blood-red skull floated out of the black stone jar. Yang Fan didn't push the other party to the brink: "As long as you serve the Azure Civilization for 100 years, I will give you your freedom."

The soul of a mid-ranking knight is too powerful; the sacred artifact cannot forcibly capture it, so he can only resort to coercion and enticement.

Five seconds later.

The crocodile monster finally gave in.

It let out a howl and voluntarily released its soul defense.

Yang Fan gripped the sacred artifact and swiftly sent legion marks into the crocodile monster's soul.

Previously, he could easily make a contract with the Centipede Overlord of the Black Sand Sea with just one mark.

This time, however, it took more than twenty marks to successfully capture the crocodile monster.

Upon closer inspection of the sacred artifact, one can see a small, grotesque crocodile-like phantom swimming merrily within it.

at this time.

Yang Fan suddenly felt like he was being spied on.

He quickly turned his head to look at the sky, and a high-level magic line instantly extended out.

The pale silver magic line instantly extended thirty kilometers, immediately locking onto a supernatural mark.

The Observatory then provided feedback—it was the Black Whirlwind Knight's spying.

Yang Fan frowned and quietly activated the Nine Luminaries Spirit God: "How dare you peek at this knight! I'll teach you a little lesson!"

next moment.

An invisible spiritual shockwave crashed towards a hidden supernatural mark.

This kind of remote mental attack is precisely the specialty of the Nine Luminaries Spirit God.

Hundreds of kilometers away.

The Black Whirl Birdman, a mid-level knight-level creature that Yang Fan had encountered earlier, suddenly let out a painful "ga" and closed its two bird eyes tightly.

A very thin strand of bright red blood immediately flowed down from its left eye.

However, due to the great distance and the knight's extremely strong physique, the injury was only minor to it.

Another mid-ranking knight looked over, a hint of surprise in his bird-like eyes.

The wounded Black Whirl Birdman opened his right eye, a look of shock flashing in his pupil: "We've been tracking the Crocodile Monster for over three years, and it's already been subdued by that human knight!"

The mid-ranking knight was stunned.

Subdued?
How long has it been?

The injured Black-Eyed Birdman said urgently, "This human knight is terrifying. We'd better return to the Gate of the World immediately."

The mid-ranking knight nodded repeatedly: "Let's go."

soon.

A black mist suddenly rose up, and the birdmen all disappeared without a trace.

*
Azure Star.

The capital of Atinna, Brunos, is located in the southern suburbs.

Thiago, the leader of the Pampas Independence Army, stood on the top floor of a six-story building, looking down at the street below through large glass windows.

No one would have expected that this leader would be hiding in his own capital, in territory tightly controlled by the Great Xia Dynasty.

Thiago's gaze followed a couple as they walked hand in hand down the street.

Recently, groups like this have been appearing more and more frequently on the streets of Bruno.

The woman among them was a young and beautiful girl named Atinna.

The other man had a typical Daxia appearance.

Thiago also knew that the Great Xia man was 36 years old this year, while the Atinna girl was only 22.

Although the people of Daxia are not young, they are not greasy at all, and there is no baldness or anything like that.

Quite the opposite.

Judging from his appearance, this Da Xia person had a fair complexion and looked clean and refreshing. At first glance, he looked like someone around 25 years old, much younger than his actual age.

The man and woman walked side by side, and there was no sense of disharmony at all.

Thiago understood that this was not the effect of makeup, nor was it a superpower.

And this is not an isolated case.

Recently, there have been more and more Daxia people in Brunos. He has seen many Daxia people in their 30s and 50s who look at least ten years younger than their actual age.

A few months ago, the renowned Sirius Life Science, also known as Daxia Company, which produces body tempering liquid, launched a series of cutting-edge beauty products.

For example, a type of ointment called "Black Jungle" can revitalize the scalp and achieve the miraculous effect of "hair growing out of nothing" by applying it to the head once a day for about half a month.

For example, a beauty cream called "Clear Stream Water" can completely remove pigmentation, dark spots, wrinkles, and other imperfections on the face in less than a month if you apply it twice a day, morning and night.

Because of their astonishingly good effects, the two products have been on the market for more than three months, and each bottle easily costs thousands of yuan, but they have always been in short supply. It is said that the pre-orders have been booked up for two years.

Thiago had heard his female subordinates discuss this matter, and thus it left a deep impression on him.

The people from Daxia who just walked by clearly used these kinds of beauty products, which is why they look so young.

Not long after.

The man and woman approached the intersection ahead.

The girl laughed happily after hearing something the man from Daxia said. She even leaned over and kissed her boyfriend's cheek, then tightened her grip on his arm.

Thiago suddenly found this scene extremely offensive, and cursed with disgust, "Damn Great Xia people!"

He casually cursed the girl, "Shameless bastard!"

But he had to admit that, compared to the Great Xia people of the same age, the men of Atinna did indeed appear old and poor.

In addition, the people of Daxia are generally wealthier, so it's perfectly normal for their own beautiful girls to be willing to fall into the arms of Daxia men.

soon.

The Great Xia man, whom Thiago disliked, and his girlfriend turned a corner and disappeared from his sight.

He left the window and sat back down in the comfortable sofa chair.

Thiago was initially full of confidence, believing that as the independent army continued to grow stronger, they would eventually drive out the Bactrians.

But half an hour ago, devastating news came back.

His most trusted subordinate, Gwyneth, who was also one of his lovers, led the Sea Beast Legion to attack the Great Xia Navy, but then disappeared without a trace.

This dealt him a heavy blow and made him realize that he had seriously underestimated the strength of the Great Xia people.

Thiago sighed dejectedly and muttered, "It's most likely that the Great Xia Spirit Raven or the Great Xia Ghost made their move. It seems the Independent Army would be best to keep a low profile and lie low for a while."

He opened a drawer, took out an exquisite seashell, and said in a low voice, "Rebecca, pass on the word and have most people enter the secret realm for a while."

Artina's communication network has been taken over by the Great Xia, so Thiago dares not use a mobile phone and usually only uses the communication artifacts he brought back from the Beast Labyrinth.

This thing is called the Echo Magic Shell.

Although it's not as convenient as a mobile phone, at least you don't have to worry about your information being leaked.

"Om~"

The Echo Magic Shell vibrated.

Thiago heard the secretary's reply: "Yes, Master!"

He liked being called "master," as it gave him a wonderful feeling of being superior, so all his women, including his three female secretaries, called him that.

Just as Thiago was about to remove the magic shell, the shell suddenly trembled again.

A strange male voice suddenly came from inside: "Mr. Thiago, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Thiago's expression changed drastically in an instant.
