Chapter 27: Bachiyas Blessing

Bro, what did it feel like? Zhang ZhengXiong pulled over the indifferent Ye Cang, who had a handprint on his face, and asked quietly.

36Es. What do you think? Ye Cang made a fist with his hand and smiled.

If I knew, I would have gone to loot the corpse Zhang ZhengXiong looked over at ThornyRose who was angrily glaring in their direction. The words Im also extremely unlucky. Could you block me like that too? got stuck in his throat and he swallowed them back down.

ThornyRose felt so angry she wanted to yell some more. All sorts of feelings were welling up in her heart, but they werent good feelings. She saw FrozenBlood sniggering and had nothing to say. She lost her first kiss just like that. Even if it was in virtual reality, it was still her first kiss. Although it wasnt on purpose, all she got was a single sentence: please conduct yourself more appropriately. She clenched her jaw so hard that the sound of grinding teeth echoed through the cavern. She looked at Ye Cang acting indifferent, and her fist balled up even tighter. She couldnt stop shaking in anger.

GreenDew thought to herself: Sister Roses hatred towards that knight just shot up another few levels.

Brother LilWhite. Something good came out! A battle axe, a sword, as well as a skillbook. Lin Les words brought ThornyRose back from her angry thoughts. A dark red battle axe, a longsword that we almost as high as Lin Le, about 160cm.

His luck really isnt normal, GreenDew thought. They actually found a pair of weapons and a skillbook!?

ThornyRoses chest tightened. Three things and none of them were useful for her. That axes stats was really too violent, and that swords effect was really outstanding. It could be said they were top-notch equipment for the present stage of the game. Her gaze landed on the berserk skillbook and she hesitated a bit. Although she was tempted, she had already decided to be a defensive fighter. She shook her head and sighed. Its all for the sake of the hidden story quest. She saw Ye Cangs inquiring gaze and unhappily said: You three can split the items, but give us two gold as remuneration.

Ye Cang didnt say anything. He wasnt in the mood to speak right now. He nodded his head which still had 5 bright red fingerprints on it and threw two gold over. He then took the three things Lin Le brought over. He took the two handed sword for himself, and simply fastened it onto his back in a way that could be easily drawn. To him, the sword wasnt too heavy or too light. It was the perfect weight to still be easy to handle.

As for the heavy axe and the skill book, they were both distributed to Lin Le. Lin Le became the one who reaped the most reward. The dark red, heavy axe that was almost as big as he was went on his back making him feel like a berserker. He raised his chin proudly.

Regarding the loot distribution, FrozenBlood and GreenDew had no objections. After all, they couldnt use any of the items. Also, gold coins was something they really needed right now.

ThornyRose crossed her arms. She looked at the five fingerprints she left on Ye Cangs face and seemed to have calmed down. She didnt know why, but she felt like laughing. FrozenBlood saw ThornyRoses appearance and smiled. What, fallen for him?

Get lost! Dont mess with this lady. ThornyRose glared angrily. Originally her heart was already in turmoil. Now, she could fly into rage at any moment. She had to continuously control her mental state.

At this time, the lava in the cracks on the ground started emitting a red light. ThornyRose was calming her heart and happened to see this. She shouted: Somethings happening!

Everyone quickly gathered together, wary of the red light that was flowing like wisps of air and condensing together not far away.

The silhouette of a woman slowly took shape. It faintly said: Brave warriors, thank you for defeating that greedy lava lamia and freeing this volcano

Everyone sighed in relief. If it was another dreadful boss, in the situation where they didnt have the rune stone, it was basically guaranteed they would all be sent back to town.

Youre too kind. If I run into injustice, I draw my blade to help. How could I allow these sins to pass while I live? Ye Cang stepped up and slightly bowed, touching a fist to a palm1.

Exactly! Lin Le raised his axe going following Ye Cangs lead.

Hah ThornyRose who was planning to reply, let out a sigh.

What does that mean? Anyways, to express my thanks, please receive my blessing! The silhouette made of red light let out of burst of energy that enveloped everyone. The volcano began becoming active again and the nearby rocks were submerged in lava.

Everyone felt a warmth in their body.

Congratulations, youve receiving Bachiyas blessing. Permanently gain +1 Constitution and +1 Fire Resistance.

ThornyRose, FrozenBlood, and GreenDew became happy. They were actually awarded a permanent attribute and fire resistance. This trips rewards were rather good. Naturally, compared to the three guys, they could only smile bitterly.

The red silhouette gradually dissipated. Im going to continue my slumber. Farewell, brave warriors.

ThornyRoses mood had become a lot better. Everyone turned around to leave and found that the exit was completely gone. All that was left was a chasm that they couldnt possible cross. Peering at the surroundings, they couldnt find any other path. Whats going on? This NPC was really too wicked. Giving a rewards and then giving them death. Although they wouldnt lose too much experience from just dying once.

How do we cross? ThornyRose asked as Ye Cang came to the chasms edge and looked down at the lava. The other side was too far.

Ye Cang indifferently smiled. He took out a bundle of rope. He tied a big loop and a small loop. The small loop was tied onto his arrow. He aimed high at the other side. ThornyRose frowned, it wouldnt work, the arrow couldnt possible support their weight.

Im afraid this wont work ThornyRose said. FrozenBlood and GreenDew also didnt have any hope.

Shoo~ The arrow flew out, and stabbed into the rock wall on the other side. Ye Cang continued to calmly smile. He gave the rope a few good tugs.

ThornyRose sighed. Like I said

At this time, the big loop perfectly caught on a stalagmite. ThornyRose looked at the rope that was not falling and couldnt believe her eyes. She knew that this guys eyes could see further than the rest of them in the dark, but she still raised her eyebrows in surprise. This guy still has such skills hidden up his sleeve.

FrozenBlood sighed, this dangerous situation could be considered dissolved.

You should cross first. One at a time. Quickly. Ye Cang tied this side of the rope onto a stalagmite and urged ThornyRose.
