The scattered bones quickly gathered together and reformed into the shape of the little skeleton.
The Little Skeleton's skill was "Rebirth." It could devour the bones even if they were crushed.
Rebirth was a must-have skill for the undead creatures.
The Little Skeleton looked at Su Ping and then at the bone blade at its hip. The Little Skeleton was relieved to see that the bone blade was still there. The Little Skeleton pulled out the bone blade at once and stood in front of Su Ping, looking around vigilantly.
Su Ping was relieved after they left the forest. It seemed that the Dead Souls had some kind of restriction that prevented them from leaving the forest. Su Ping had confirmed this many times in the cultivation sites without exception.
After the Little Skeleton was called back, a gust of cold air was approaching him from behind. Just as Su Ping speculated, the gust of cold air stopped at the edge of the forest and didn't go after him.
Su Ping looked back. There was a cloud of dark fog by the edge of the forest. He could faintly hear some vicious and resentful roars.
Su Ping was relieved to see that the rules of the cultivation sites were in effect. He told the Dark Dragon Hound and the Purple Python to slow down. While they were running away, they had to be discreet in case they provoked something else after getting rid of the Dead Souls.
After they were out of danger, Su Ping told the Purple Python to put up a scale shield to protect him. Then, he took out the scroll and reached his consciousness into it.
Inside the scroll.
Tang Ruyan stared at the falling fruit tree, dumbfounded. She didn't know that not only did Su Ping rob them of their Spirit Fruits, but he also didn't let go of the fruit tree. How heartless!
Of course, if it were her, she would have done the same thing. She would rather destroy the fruit tree than keep it.
After all, the circle was only so big. If someone else got what she couldn't get, she would be helping her enemy.
She came to the fruit tree and hesitated whether or not she should destroy it. Anyway, she wouldn't have a good ending if she fell into Su Ping's hands. She might as well let Su Ping suffer a greater loss.
However, doing so would inevitably incur the wrath of Su Ping. In a situation where death was not certain, she still wanted to strive for survival. Perhaps she could use this fruit tree to threaten Su Ping in exchange for a chance to escape?
"Now that this fruit tree has fallen into my hands, it has given me a chance." Tang Ruyan sneered. She had figured out how to negotiate with Su Ping. She would destroy the fruit tree if Su Ping refused.
Just as she was thinking, Su Ping's consciousness suddenly entered the picture scroll. His consciousness condensed into a huge face, as if it was above the clouds, overlooking the entire picture scroll space.
His face was extremely cold as he said coldly, "Take care of this fruit tree for me. If a leaf is missing, not only will you die, but your Tang family's reputation will be ruined and you'll be ridiculed by countless people!"
With that said, Su Ping's huge face disappeared and he left the picture scroll.
Tang Ruyan stared at the disappearing face in a daze. She blinked.
She hadn't even had the time to negotiate or threaten him, but she had already been warned?!
Was this man not afraid that she would destroy the fruit tree in a fit of anger?
Tang Ruyan came back to her senses. She was fuming with anger. She wanted to smash the fruit tree into pieces. Damn it!
Not only was Su Ping's tone abominable, but the content of his words was even more abominable. He had pointed out what she was most afraid of!
She was ready to die. However, she would never want to die in such a humiliating way and drag down the reputation of the entire family.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
She clenched her teeth. Her cheeks were puffed up with anger. Su Ping left right after the warning. He didn't even give her a chance to negotiate. All the lines she had prepared were in vain.
Tang Ruyan stared at the fruit tree in front of her, wishing that she could destroy it. However, her reason told her not to do so. After all, she was not at the end of her rope yet. Once the fruit tree was destroyed, she would die even if she had to fight Su Ping to the death.
"I'm so angry …"
Tang Ruyan could not quell her anger. She walked back and forth on the spot.
…
After warning Tang Ruyan, Su Ping's consciousness returned to the outside world. He put away the picture scroll. If Tang Ruyan wasn't asking for death, she wouldn't have harmed the fruit tree. After all, everyone wanted to live. They wouldn't give up hope unless they were faced with a desperate situation.
Su Ping told the Dark Dragon Hound to check the route carefully while he headed toward the location of the treasure.
Using the route in the cultivation site as a guide, Su Ping avoided some areas where beasts at the upper position of the ninth rank could be found. Occasionally, he would run into beasts at the intermediate position of the ninth rank or at the eighth rank. He would ask the Little Skeleton and the Inferno Dragon to kill them quickly without causing too much of a commotion.
Two hours later, Su Ping arrived at the place where the treasures were stored.
The treasure was located in an old and dilapidated hall. The outer walls of the hall were broken and dilapidated. Inside the hall were two sub-serpents at the upper position of the ninth rank. Both of them were half-human and half-snake. Their bloodlines were average, but their upper bodies were shaped like humans. They were able to master some special skills and were quite powerful.
Su Ping went to the hall and told the Dark Dragon Hound to sniff around. Soon, he figured out the distribution of the beasts in the hall.
Apart from some poisonous creatures such as poisonous insects and spiders, there were two sub-serpents. They were emitting a foul smell. The Dark Dragon Hound had fought against them in the cultivation site. The smell was familiar to the Dark Dragon Hound.
Su Ping quickly thought of a plan to seize the treasure.
He could win a head-on battle but it would be risky. He didn't want to take the risk. After all, he would be in trouble if someone else picked up the treasure in the middle of the battle. He wasn't the only one who could be the oriole.
Soon, Su Ping made a decision. He would distract the two sub-serpents.
He told the Dark Dragon Hound to put up five layers of shields for the Inferno Dragon and the Little Skeleton. Then, he told the Little Skeleton to go into the hall first. The Little Skeleton could handle one of the sub-serpents on its own.
Soon, he heard a roar coming from the hall. Su Ping was very familiar with the structure of the hall. He could tell where the other party was by the sound.
The Little Skeleton's figure flashed out. Dust rose behind him as two giant serpents, each more than ten meters long, slithered out. Their upper bodies were humanoid, but they were different from humans. Their bodies were covered in scales, their mouths were full of sharp teeth, and their ears were like two sharp knives. Their hair was like green algae, and they were poisonous snakes as thick as fingers.
They chased the Little Skeleton to the entrance of the hall. The two sub-serpents seemed to have realized that they couldn't catch up with the Little Skeleton. They wanted to give up and go back.
Su Ping told the Little Skeleton to go back and provoke the two sub-serpents again. Soon, the two sub-serpents were enraged. They chased after the Little Skeleton again. At the same time, the Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound, who were lurking nearby, swarmed over as well. The Inferno Dragon knocked down one of the sub-serpents with its "Dragon Crush" skill and then attacked together with the Dark Dragon Hound.
Su Ping took advantage of this gap. He told the Purple Python to use Ground Drilling to sneak him into the hall. They went directly to the entrance of the main hall.
The hall was covered in dust and bones were everywhere. Many of them were sub-serpents. Generations after generations, these sub-serpents had turned into white bones. Their excrement, cobwebs, snakes, and insects were also found in the hall. It was a filthy mess.
Su Ping told the Purple Python to knock open the door of the main hall. The hall was spacious. At the top of the hall was a chair with an imposing aura. On the chair was a treasure chest.
The enhancement artifact that Su Ping wanted was inside the treasure chest.
Su Ping was relieved to see the dust on the treasure chest. He knew that no one would come to take it.
He told the Purple Python to swim to the chair and take out the treasure chest. The lock on the treasure chest had decayed but there was an energy key on it. Su Ping had to know the corresponding energy formation to open the chest.
However, the energy in the energy key had dried up after so many years. Su Ping handed it over to the Purple Python. The Purple Python swung its tail and the treasure chest broke, revealing a shining gem inside.
The gem was the size of a fist. It was glowing like starlight and was emitting strong waves of energy.
Su Ping was pleasantly surprised. He waved his hand and the gem flew into his hand.
Roar!
Right then, he heard the two sub-serpents roaring outside the hall. At the same time, the ground was shaking violently as if something was quickly approaching.
