From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 401 - 277: Witch Demon’s Life Protection Box, Skill Upgrade_2

Chapter 401: Chapter 277: Witch Demon’s Life Protection Box, Skill Upgrade_2

Following that, the three of them ventured further into the cave, guided by the light emitted from the Chongming Bird and got a clear view of the cave’s contents.

Lin Zeyu walked over, picked up an item from the ground, and said, "A Level D gemstone and a Level C ornament, this is quite nice. Did these come from a pile of corpses? This ring is still on a finger bone."

Having found the Treasure Location, Lin Zeyu chuckled, flipped his hand, and drew the revolver again, pressing it against the head of the Void Soul Stealing.

"Gurgle gurgle..." The Void Soul Stealing hastily pleaded for mercy, pushing all the items in the Treasure Location towards Lin Zeyu.

It seemed to be offering these treasures in exchange for its life.

"Your items are only Level D or C, not enough to trade for your life, better to just die. I’ll shoot just once, guaranteed painless, okay?" Lin Zeyu said as he prepared to pull the trigger.

"Gurgle gurgle..." The Void Soul Stealing quickly used its remaining claw to scribble characters on the ground.

Because the Void Soul Stealing lacked a complete language system, it could only produce gurgling sounds.

In the Abyss World, there were no issues communicating with its kind, but communication with humans was quite troublesome.

The three of them couldn’t understand what it was squawking about and could only guess it was begging for mercy.

However, once it began writing on the ground, Lin Zeyu finally understood.

It was Quel’dorei script, a language loaded into them when they were transferred to this world, so they could understand it.

Lin Zeyu’s eyes widened when he saw the words, and he waved back at his companion, calling out, "Lu Heng, come and see, it has written ’Life Protection Box.’"

Lu Heng had already seen it, the characters scrawled by the Void Soul Stealing on the ground were indeed "Life Protection Box."

"Do you have the Life Protection Box here?" Lin Zeyu quickly searched through the pile of miscellaneous items, hoping to find the Life Protection Box among them.

Lu Heng immediately judged, "The Life Protection Box can’t be here, if it refers to Dionysus’s Life Protection Box, if the Box were here, Dionysus would sense it and come to reclaim it."

That is to say, what the Void Soul Stealing intended to convey was that it knew the location of the Life Protection Box.

Lu Heng crouched down and asked, "You know where the Life Protection Box is?"

"Gurgle gurgle..." The Void Soul Stealing nodded in response.

"Good, lead us to Dionysus’s Life Protection Box, and I will spare your life," Lu Heng promised.

The Void Soul Stealing had little Combat Power; its biggest threat was its thievery.

So sparing its life wasn’t too big of a deal.

"Gurgle gurgle..." The Void Soul Stealing immediately flew out, ready to lead the three to the Life Protection Box.

For the Void Soul Stealing, it could reach many places inaccessible to ordinary people.

Thus, it could locate treasures hidden from the common man.

In other words, it must have seen Dionysus’s Life Protection Box but dared not steal it due to fear of Dionysus.

After all, a Witch Demon could sense their Box, and stealing a Witch Demon’s Box without the strength to make it one’s own was akin to courting death.

Obviously, this particular Void Soul Stealing dared not steal Dionysus’s Life Protection Box, but it knew where it was.

Under threat of death, it had no choice but to trade this secret for its life.

The three followed the Void Soul Stealing, continuing deeper into the Twilight Mountain Range.

Before setting out, Lu Heng told Terres he could return to Storm Cliff first.

Upon hearing that Dionysus’s Life Protection Box had been located, Terres’s eyes shone with excitement, insisting on coming along.

So, the group of four followed the Void Soul Stealing into the depths of the Twilight Mountain Range.

After nearly a day’s journey, the Void Soul Stealing arrived at an underground altar.

The altar was situated in an underground space, protected by Rune Arrays, invisible to a Perceiver from the outside.

It wasn’t until the Void Soul Stealing entered that Lu Heng and company realized there was another layer of space inside.

Lu Heng chopped through the mountain wall and entered the underground altar.

In the center of the altar, there was a stone platform.

Placed squarely on the platform was a box encrusted with gemstones.

The box was already open and wisps of Evil Spirit energy were spilling out.

In another corner of the altar, a skeleton was slowly standing up, absorbing the energy from the Life Protection Box.

This was unmistakably the Resurrection Ceremony of a Witch Demon.

This skeleton was the new vessel chosen by Dionysus to house his soul.

The Resurrection Ceremony was already halfway done; in another day, Dionysus would be successfully revived.

The hiding spot for his Life Protection Box was indeed secretive; to aimlessly search the Twilight Mountain Range without knowing the exact location would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Luckily, they had the guidance of the Void Soul Stealing; otherwise, they would not have found it so quickly.

As Lu Heng stepped into the altar, the skeleton, energized by the Life Protection Box, suddenly shook.

Dionysus was in the midst of the Resurrection Ceremony, his most vulnerable time.

Not just Lu Heng, any Superpower User could pose a significant threat to him now.

Lu Heng drew the Aurora Blade and approached the Life Protection Box.

At that moment,

an apparition emerged from the Life Protection Box, the very image of Dionysus.

He threatened, "Get out! Otherwise, I will make you regret everything you’ve ever done!"

Lu Heng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you hit to the head? I’ve found your Life Protection Box, and you still dare to talk to me like this. Now kneel down and beg for mercy, and I might just give you a chance to live."

Dionysus’s face turned extremely unsightly. After remaining silent for a while and seeing Lu Heng drawing ever closer, he finally spoke in a tone of negotiation, "Let’s make a deal."
