Chapter 49: Spatial Spirit Artifact
After recovering from his injuries, Su Ming looked towards the Iron Lion group. When he saw the Iron Lions attacking each other, a faint smile appeared on Su Ming's face. It seemed that the little spirit's suggestion was not bad.
"Young master, don't you even look at who I am? I am a game system that can do anything and knows everything."
"I'm going, and you're still boasting? It seems like you've really become humanized." Su Ming let out a bitter laugh, then took out the Xuan Iron Bow. As his left hand grasped the bow, two Xuan Iron Arrows were placed on it.
This is a recently learned double arrow technique from Suqina, which has not been used in battle yet, and it's just right to use it on these iron lions.
"Whoosh, whoosh"
Two dark iron arrows shot out at the same time, heading in two directions. A few seconds later, the two iron lions were hit by the dark iron arrows. It was thought that these two arrows could kill the two iron lions, but unexpectedly, only one fell down, and the other was just injured and quickly retreated from the battlefield.
The iron lion group that lost the Iron Lion King became more and more chaotic, and it was basically impossible to stop. However, there were a few iron lions that although they were in the center of the battlefield, they were not attacked by any other iron lions. After observing for a moment, Su Ming finally had an epiphany.
Those few iron lions must be female and are considered beautiful in the group of iron lions, even the wife of the iron lion king. All other male lions want to get them and become the new iron lion king.
With this unexpected discovery, Su Ming once again sneaked towards the Iron Lion group, although the bow and arrow could launch a sneak attack, the attack was too weak, and the damage to the iron lion was limited, unless it was seriously injured, otherwise it couldn't be killed.
With the silver snake sword in hand and Cloud Shadow underfoot, Su Ming charged at the lone Iron Lions with the help of the wind element. These Iron Lions had retreated on their own after being injured, but they didn't know that by retreating from the battlefield, they would face Su Ming's ruthless slaughter.
For a full three hours, Su Ming had annihilated the entire Iron Lion clan at the cost of severe injuries. At this moment, he looked as if he had just walked out of a pool of blood, his entire body covered in fresh blood, and it was unclear whether it belonged to the Iron Lions or himself.
After killing the last iron lion, Su Ming let out a sigh of relief, and immediately a sharp pain spread throughout his body, especially in his waist, which made him almost cry out in agony. Just now during the battle, his whole body was tense and he didn't feel any pain at all, but only now did he realize that he had dozens of wounds on his body, and his waist was even bitten by a male lion before it died.
He hastily swallowed two Lingdan, Su Ming sat down to rest his legs, he had already felt that his body was a bit weak, the loss of blood was too much, making him feel dizzy. After swallowing the Lingdan, the wound stopped bleeding and gradually recovered.
Su Ming was able to slaughter over twenty iron lions not only because he possessed three attributes and Cloud Footsteps, but more importantly because the iron lion group did not have an Iron Lion King. Without a king, they lost their leader and were unable to counter Su Ming's attacks correctly. At the same time, they attacked each other due to the throne, which gave Su Ming the opportunity. Otherwise, Su Ming would not have been able to complete the task, and his life would have been lost in the mouths of the iron lions long ago.
"Congratulations, young master, you have completed the task. Your cultivation level has increased by three levels, and you are now at the 15th level of the Pre-Heavenly Realm, equivalent to the mid-term perfection of the Pre-Heavenly Realm. You have also received ten Spring Transformation Pills and ten Spirit Transformation Pills as rewards."
"Young master, aren't you happy that you've obtained a reward and your strength has increased?" The little spirit thought Su Ming would show off a proud smile, but unexpectedly, Su Ming had a bitter face and completely ignored her.
"What's there to be so happy about? This is something I almost paid with my life for, I nearly met King Yama." Su Ming complained.
"Young master, actually you could have done a better job earlier. For example, you could have waited for them to finish their fierce battle, and when the lions were all injured, then you could have struck. Moreover, you could have lured out a few of them and fought them one by one. In that case, it would have been easy to kill more than 20 iron lions."
The little elf's words made Su Ming stunned, he knew that he was indeed anxious just now. This task had a time limit, but two days were enough for him to slowly grind and kill the twenty or so iron lions, there was no need to pay such a heavy price.
"Little elf, was what you just told me a quest prompt?" Su Ming thought back to some of his gaming experiences.
"Yes, young master, but your current level is too low. I can't give you too many hints while you're doing the task. I can only point out the mistakes and errors you made after you've completed the task. When your level is higher, you'll be able to get full guidance throughout the task. Good luck, young master, I'm waiting for you to become a god."
A glimmer of hope that had just risen was extinguished by the little elf's words. In the game, there is a type of gaming prop called "Task Prompt". When you feel unable to complete a task or don't even know how to do it, you can buy this prop, which will tell you how to start the task, how to complete it, and what to pay attention to during the task.
It seems that I need to seize the time to upgrade my level, although the Innate Realm is a strong one in the tribe, but in the Western City Prefecture it's nothing, must double efforts, strive to enter the Heavenly Spirit Realm as soon as possible, so I can go to the Western City Prefecture and see the ancient city.
An hour passed quietly, and Su Ming's injuries had basically recovered. Only the injury on his waist had not fully recovered. As long as he didn't fight with all his might, it wouldn't affect anything. Looking at the darkening sky, Su Ming dragged an iron lion out of the Iron Lion Territory.
"Little elf, is there a spatial ring in this ancient era?" Su Ming felt regretful that he couldn't take away the more than 20 iron lion corpses. Although he had become the general manager of the Su family's internal affairs, he hadn't taken a single penny from the Su family, so he was poor to the point of being destitute, and didn't even have money to drink flower wine.
"Young master, the spatial ring you mentioned should be a spiritual artifact made from spatial stone. In ancient times, there was indeed spatial stone, but it was always guarded by ferocious beasts in the wilderness. Without the power of a loose cultivator, it's impossible to obtain spatial stone. Therefore, this kind of storage artifact is extremely rare and usually only owned by major powers."
"Do you have it?" Su Ming asked.
"I don't have a Space Stone and I haven't activated the Refiner function, so I temporarily don't have any Spirit Vessel."
"I thought you were really omnipotent, but it seems that's all there is to it." Su Ming said disdainfully.
"Young master, although I don't have a space stone and can't forge spiritual equipment, the system has a refining function. As long as you complete the corresponding tasks, you can activate the refining function, and then you can get whatever kind of spiritual equipment you want, but the premise is that you need to have the raw materials."
