Chapter 171 - 163: Sacrificial Black Coffin and Talent Arrangement (3K) _1
The space gate finally closed, showcasing the vast wilderness in front of him Tall, robust trees stood erect, rustling and crackling as the wind blew.
“It’s safe now.”
Mu Yuan murmured to himself.
Even though he failed to collect any loot and felt somewhat regretful, it was unsure whether the giant shadow was dead. After all, the Nine-headed Roaring Thunder Flame Dragon was a large-scale magic technique primarily aimed at area damage.
He didn’t dwell on it too much, as safety was paramount.
The mission had been completed satisfactorily, and the only additional expenditure was the large-scale magic technique. If he could squeeze Isloa a bit more, he would have a new technique, which was completely environmentally friendly and waste-free.
The dozen or so witches he had just ‘recruited’ were still in shock and tense, and their physical condition was rather poor, so Mu Yuan merely showed them a little attention before leaving.
The rest would be taken care of by Isloa.
But unexpectedly, Isloa herself was at a loss.
Lord, do you really have no opinion on witches?”
“You’ve asked this question before, haven’t you? It seems I haven’t completely persuaded you yet. Well, let me put it this way…” Mu Yuan gave an example, 1 ‘You can look at what our main force in the Tianyuan Territory is.” Isloa thought carefully.
Halberd Guard, Treeman, Flower Fairy?
No, none of them. It was the Skeleton General, adorned in heavy grey-black armor. It was the Skeletons, the Undead.
In the Eagle Kingdom, witches were discriminated against and seen as enemies However, their circumstances and treatment were somewhat better than those of the Undead and Undead mages. If the latter were discovered, they would be immediately sent to the pyre.
In this regard, staying in the Tianyuan Territory indeed provided some peace of mind.
“Hmm, I see.”
Said Isloa.
On the contrary, Mu Yuan felt that it was the Eagle Kingdom that was too backward. Witches and high-ranking Undead were highly despised? Look at the current era, both witches and high-ranking Undead are very popular troop types. If you were to say which class was not very popular, it would be the Goblins.
The team quickly returned to the territory, and the witches…the girls were settled in newly built high-end houses.
Mu Yuan had prepared a building for them. It would be somewhat crowded for 13 or 14 people to live there, but the environment was many times better than normal civilian houses. This was preferential treatment for talents, the girls needed a suitable environment to rest and recover at this point.
He also asked Tianyuan’s First Doctor, ‘Holy Light Master Sacrifice- Lainey’ to take a look.
As for himself, he opened the territory panel and pulled up the information about the dozen or so witches he had just ‘recruited’.
‘Black Crow-Sophia’
‘Rank: Rare Three-star’
‘Level: Second-Order Seven-level’
‘Skills: Crow’s Call, Black Feather, Feather Transformation, Black Claw,
Fireball Technique, Wind Blade,…’
‘White Wolf-Lian Yue’
‘Elk-Irene’
‘Fox-Daisy’
All four of them are of the Rare Three-star rank.
They possessed the highest rank among the witches.
This rank potential was not low, if they could cultivate normally and steadily it would not be difficult to climb to the peak of the second-order step by step If they were a little bit more diligent and had enough resources, they had a good chance of stepping into the Third-order Warlord Level.
Mu Yuan didn’t know the specific situation in the Bright Empire, the strongest human race before the great catastrophe, but in the Eagle Kingdom, a third- order war general was sufficient to serve as a city lord of a large city. The Central Magic Academy where Isloa was enrolled, had teachers at the Second- order level.
Unlike the present era, in the Tai Xuan Alliance, many veteran players could bring out a squad of Elite-level Second-order troops on their own.
“The ranks of the other witches are much lower, with only four stepping into the Rare Rank.
“Among the witches, Black Crow, White Wolf, and Elk are Elite-level, with Black Crow having the highest level and probably the strongest combat power followed by White Wolf.”
Of course, what Mu Yuan saw in recruiting the witches was not their combat power, but their talent.
Except for White Wolf, it seemed that all four were from noble families, cultured individuals, and some of the other witches also possessed talents and skills.
Compared to the vast majority of illiterate refugees, they already had many advantages.
“Setting up schools, processing documents, and organizing trade caravans could all be arranged quickly.”
Mu Yuan thought.
Everything would have to wait until the witches had finished their physical examinations and recovered.
He turned his head and saw Duo Lai tapping on the black coffin placed on the floor, producing a crisp bang.
He almost forgot. They had brought this coffin out of Trick City.
It appeared that the underground space was immune to monster intrusion, which was somewhat related to the coffin.
Could this really be a treasure?
“It is a treasure, but the specific function is not clear.”
Duo Lai said.
Mu Yuan took a look and identified it with the abilities of a Lord.
‘Sacrificial Black Coffin’
‘Category: Special’
‘Function: Those who sacrifice to the Black Coffin can reap rewards.’
Mu Yuan: “???”
This explanation was very vague, but some of the more advanced items, especially special ones, were indeed hard to identify at a glance unless they were opened from the box of light balls.
He wasn’t in a rush, he immediately fetched several Rare-level appraisal stones from the next warehouse. It was one of the tools that he had been hoarding from time to time.
He took one and patted it against the Sacrificial Black Coffin.
Pa-1
The light was dazzling, enveloping the entire black coffin. After several seconds, it gradually dissipated.
On closer inspection, the description of the black coffin has become more detailed, but not enough. He continued to use the identification stones, one after another. Finally, the accumulation of stones let the black coffin’s description become clear.
(Description: Open the black coffin and sacrifice a sufficient amount of monster remains to exchange for a certain amount of Remnant Souls of Troop
INote ®: The amount and rank of the Remnant Souls of Troop Type obtained from the sacrifice will be far lower than the original sacrifice.J
INote ®: The type of Remnant Souls of Troop Type obtained will correspond to the type of remains sacrificed.]
It seems to be an artifact with a very special function.”
As Mu Yuan contemplated, he immediately asked Duo Lai to fetch some monster remains.
Tianyuan Territory doesn’t collect monster corpses, only some processed small monsters such as brown bears, gray wolves, and mountain sheep, commonly known as refrigerated ingredients.
Duo Lai, with his mouth pouted, fetched some food, then pushed hard to open the coffin lid.
Creak Creak Creak Creak
The coffin lid, covered with eerie patterns, was pushed to a certain extent before getting stuck. It looked pitch-black inside, and not a single ray of light penetrated it. It was as if it was a black hole or a devouring monster’s mouth.
Duo Lai dumped all the remains of brown bears, grey wolves, etc. into it.
Oddly enough, the opening of the coffin wasn’t large, but when the whole brown bear fell in, it naturally slid in and disappeared like it had fallen into an abyss.
After a while, Mu Yuan and Duo Lai pushed the coffin lid back together. The moment the lid was completely closed, a creepy “gnawing” sound came from within the coffin.
Duo Lai wasn’t creeped out; he thought it was wasteful instead.
So many wonderful ingredients for a feast!
The gnawing sound only lasted a few seconds before ceasing. The next moment, the coffin lid pulled itself up just a little bit, as if it was deeply dissatisfied, and spit out a small Remnant Soul Light Ball.
Gray Wolf’s Remnant Soul (Common One Star)’
Duo Lai: “!!!”
You swallowed so much but only spit out one Remnant Soul? Give me more!
Thump Thump Thump!
Duo Lai was hitting the coffin with great effort, but the lid of the Sacrificial Black Coffin had been fully closed, appearing to ignore him.
“No, this kind of output rate is very normal.”
Mu Yuan said.
Duo Lai:”???” Has the lord lost his mind?
Mu Yuan said, “Sacrificial Black Coffin consumes monsters, it’s not limited to things that can be eaten like Goblin corpses, Jackal Men bones and so on. Anything that’s a monster’s corpse can be thrown in. Not only there is no cost, but it can also save the work of cremation and clean-up in the future.” Duo Lai: It seems so! Lord, you are indeed smarter than me.
Mu Yuan: (->_->)
He quickly activated several mental power seeds on the Storm Falcon, letting
the Tool Falcons hunt and bring back a group of monsters.
Soon, after several batches of tests, Mu Yuan confirmed his guess.
The Sacrificial Black Coffin indeed doesn’t pick. As long as it’s monster remains, it will swallow anything. From this point of view, regardless of how many Remnant Souls it produces, it would be a profit.”
In front of him, more than a dozen Remnant Souls were piled up, including Bat Remnant Souls, Grey Wolf Remnant Souls, Goblin Wraiths, and so on. The majority of them were Common One-star Remnant Souls.
From a waste recycling perspective, the output rate of the Sacrificial Black Coffin can’t be said to be low. But judging from the rank of the Remnant Souls produced, it’s really low.
Mu Yuan suspected that even if he fed a large number of Rare Level monster remains to the coffin, it could only produce a small amount of common level Remnant Soul
If he wanted to produce an Excellent Tier Remnant Soul, he probably had to feed it with Epic Level monster remains, right?
Not to mention whether the maximum output of the Sacrificial Black Coffin is that high, even if it is, the value of Excellent and Epic level monster remains is quite high. It may not be worthwhile to feed them to this coffin.
“For an ordinary lord, this Black Sacrificial Coffin is useful, but only to some
extent. It can earn a bit more on daily basis. But for me…”
The Sacrificial Black Coffin proves to be of significant use!
The more Remnant Souls, the faster the rate of accumulating Evolution Points.
It s important to note that purchasing Remnant Souls is not only costly, but also time-consuming.
What’s more, the Black Sacrificial Coffin can produce Remnant Souls of a specific type. Like the hard-to-amass Falcon Evolution Points, they can be accumulated in the future by hunting flying monsters like Harpies and feeding them to the coffin.
The future looks promising.
In the future, he may need to form several transport teams in addition to the exploration teams. It shouldn’t be difficult though, Tianyuan Territory has ample military power.
At this moment, the Storm Falcon and other hunting teams such as Bone Two and Bone Three that he sent out were bringing back monster remains continuously.
Mu Yuan also pushed the lid of the Sacrificial Black Coffin to the top and continued to throw monster remains into it.
Ten;
A hundred;
A thousand;
No matter how many he threw in, the pitch-black coffin seemed like a bottomless pit, it was terrifyingly dark.
As Mu Yuan closed the coffin lid, the gnawing sound came out again. This time it lasted for tens of seconds. Afterwards, the coffin lid was slightly lifted, revealing a black gap. From it, one after another, Remnant Souls were spat out. Even though they were of a low rank, the amount was quite impressive. After spitting out dozens of Remnant Souls, the coffin lid did not immediately close this time. Instead, a wisp of black smoke floated out from within it, transforming into a tall black figure.
A pair of eyes opened from within the black figure, and it let out a roar.
“What the hell!”
Upon seeing the black figure pouncing towards him, the Great Lord, Mu Yuan, instinctively threw a punch at it. Energy spread across his fist, and his power ’ was channeled through it.
Boom!!
The powerful fist smashed into the black figure’s body, crushing it as if it were a water-filled balloon.
The black smoke scattered, and the sharp roar vanished without a trace.
It was as if nothing had appeared before.
