Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

Chapter 388: Chapter 274: Player Trait [Tongue of Death]! Ivsha’s Favorite?

"Twenty drops of blood, and not a single one less."

Kanlutia gave Su Xuan a playful smile, then ducked back into her coffin.

This made Su Xuan a little curious about the coffin’s internal structure. ’Does it have some kind of special hidden compartment?’

"Found it!"

A moment later, Kanlutia emerged from the coffin with a dazzling, golden-yellow gemstone.

Su Xuan’s gaze swept over it, and the gemstone’s information appeared clearly in his vision.

[Sun Stone (Mythical): A stone containing Sun Divine Power, symbolizing the Pope’s authority.]

"A Mythical-quality item..."

Su Xuan watched this unfold, a glint in his eyes.

’If this Sun Stone is a Mythical-quality item, and Lucia’s Sun Staff also has a Sun Stone... doesn’t that mean it’s also a Mythical-quality piece of equipment?’

HISS~

’So Lucia is an Adventurer who came with her own Mythical equipment!’

"Here."

Kanlutia tossed the Sun Stone directly to Lucia.

Lucia caught the Sun Stone and turned her gaze to the Sun Crown. She noted that to perfectly fuse the Sun Stone with the Sun Crown, it would require another round of meticulous forging.

Her eyes shifted toward Su Xuan, and they seemed to hold a hint of an earnest plea.

Su Xuan noticed the subtle change in Lucia’s expression and asked, "Need my help?"

Lucia nodded slightly, replying softly, "Yes."

She then handed both the Sun Crown and the Sun Stone to Su Xuan.

She explained, "For now, the people of the Bright Church Court cannot know about this item. As for the secrets behind it... when I have the chance, I will explain everything in detail."

Su Xuan nodded. "Alright, I understand."

He took the two items. The repair and forging work could once again be handed over to that Player named ’Red’.

Kanlutia licked the corner of her mouth, her eyes revealing a craving for Su Xuan’s blood. She asked eagerly, "Human, when will you offer me those twenty drops of blood?"

"Don’t worry, I always keep my promises." As Su Xuan spoke, he sent the two items directly to his personal Blacksmith.

This time, however, the other party didn’t seem to respond immediately, likely busy with other matters.

Su Xuan clapped his hands lightly, drawing everyone’s attention back to the mission. "Alright, it’s about time. We should get to our commissioned quests."

Just then, the Elf Sisters also arrived at the Guild. Everyone was present.

Su Xuan immediately made arrangements, dividing the Guild members into two teams.

He would personally lead one team to handle the C-Level commissioned quests.

The other team would be led by Rosaline, who, along with Ivsha and the Elf Sisters, would be responsible for the daily C-Level quests.

Commissioned Quest 1 (C-Level): Kill the Snake of Death (0/1)

Quest Rewards: 20 Gold Coins, 200,000 EXP, Ascension Crystal x5

Warning: This quest is extremely dangerous. Please proceed with caution!

With a brief flash of white light from the Teleportation Array, the group instantly arrived at the designated quest location.

"Snake of Death..." Su Xuan stared at the description on the quest panel, his brow furrowing slightly as a trace of doubt rose in his mind.

It was the first time he’d ever seen the word "Warning" appear in a quest notification.

"Is our target this time the Snake of Death from the epics?" Lucia asked softly, standing beside Su Xuan.

"Yes." Su Xuan nodded, then turned to Lucia and asked curiously, "Lucia, you know something about this Snake of Death?"

"A little."

Lucia replied, "The Snake of Death is described in the epics as a Demon that devoured a drop of Demigod’s Blood. According to the records, it should have been sealed long ago by a Purple-robed Priest from the Sun Sect Country. I didn’t expect it to be out causing trouble again."

"Why wasn’t the great serpent killed back then?" Su Xuan asked in confusion.

"That I’m not too sure about. It happened several decades ago." Lucia shook her head, unable to answer Su Xuan’s question.

"..."

Su Xuan rubbed his chin, lost in thought for a moment.

Just then, Mare Rhine brought the group to their destination.

The group looked down at the dark water below as a nauseating stench wafted up to them.

"What the hell is this place? It stinks!" Mare Rhine flapped her wings in disgust, her brow tightly furrowed.

"A war once broke out here. The bottom of the lake is filled with countless corpses," Lucia explained.

"I have no intention of going into a place like this," Mare Rhine grumbled, her face full of reluctance.

"This True Ancestor concurs."

Kanlutia agreed. She didn’t want her new clothes to get stained with such filth.

Lucia thought for a moment, then said, "That Snake of Death holds a deep resentment for the aura of Light. We can use that to lure it out."

As she spoke, she took out a golden pearl and gently tossed it toward the lake’s surface.

The pearl hovered over the dark water, instantly emitting a brilliant aura of Light.

"Now we just wait."

"Alright."

Su Xuan nodded lightly, sitting on Mare Rhine’s dragon back and waiting patiently.

While they waited, Su Xuan moved closer to Lucia and asked, "Lucia..."

However, before he could finish, Lucia cut in, "Don’t worry, I keep my word. I’ll compensate you in a way you like."

"Actually..."

Su Xuan froze for a second. Just as he was about to speak again, Lucia interrupted him once more. "But it has to be within my power. Those... strange things... I won’t do them."

As she spoke, she shot Su Xuan a resentful glance, clearly still holding a grudge about what happened that morning.

After all, making her follow Su Xuan’s strange requests was far beyond her limits.

Su Xuan touched the tip of his nose and gave a helpless smile. ’Looks like Lucia is still mad about this morning.’

"Ahem~"

He cleared his throat, deciding not to bring up the topic for now. "I haven’t thought of anything yet. I’ll tell you when I do."

"Fine. I’ll be waiting."

Lucia nodded slightly, showing her agreement.

However, in the middle of their conversation, the lake’s surface suddenly began to tremble violently.

"It’s here!"

Everyone scrambled to their feet, their gazes locked on the turbulent surface of the lake.

A moment later, a hundred-meter-long, pitch-black serpent shot out from the water, lunging straight for the pearl that was emitting a brilliant light.

[Snake of Death (Epic)]

Level: 65 (?/45500)

Race: Great Serpent

Power: 1602 / Agility: 1322 / Magic Power: 884 / Physique: 2214

Growth: 10 (Gains 10 points in All Attributes with each level up)

Skills: (Expand)

Trait: [Snake of Death] (Defeating this unit grants the Player the Trait: Tongue of Death!)

"Hm?"

Su Xuan glanced at the Snake of Death’s information panel, a puzzled look on his face.

He didn’t quite understand why defeating this giant serpent would grant the trait [Tongue of Death].

But there was no time to think. The great serpent had already opened its massive mouth, preparing to swallow the golden pearl in one gulp.

At that critical moment, Lucia gently lifted a finger. Pulled by some force, the golden pearl instantly flew away and landed securely in her palm.

"HISSSSSS—"

Having lost its target, the Snake of Death immediately turned its fury toward Mare Rhine in mid-air. Its enormous body twisted as it launched a ferocious attack against her.

"You foolish little snake, how dare you bare your fangs at a Giant Dragon? You’re courting death!"

Mare Rhine snorted coldly, her massive Dragon Claw swinging down without mercy.

Before the Snake of Death could react, it was struck by the heavy blow. Its massive body instantly lost its balance and slammed back into the lake, sending up a huge splash.

"HISS—!"

The Snake of Death seemed to realize the gap in power between itself and Mare Rhine, and it began to look for a chance to escape.

However, Lucia’s Light Magic was already prepared.

Golden chains shot out like lightning, instantly binding the Snake of Death’s enormous body and pinning it firmly to the lake’s surface.

Seeing this, Su Xuan turned his gaze to Kanlutia. "Your turn. Put on a show."

"Hmph, you need me for such a trivial matter?" Although Kanlutia complained, she didn’t hesitate to act.

She took a few steps forward and raised a slender, jade-like finger.

In an instant, a crimson orb of blood formed at her fingertip.

Kanlutia flicked her finger lightly toward the trapped Snake of Death, and the crimson drop instantly pierced the space between its brows.

Almost simultaneously, the Snake of Death’s still-massive body began to shrivel at a visible rate. Its Life Force drained away rapidly until it became a lifeless, desiccated corpse that sank heavily to the bottom of the lake.

"?"

’Did Kanlutia just use her own Magic Power to drain all of the Snake of Death’s blood?’

The next second, the drop of blood that had flown out returned to Kanlutia’s fingertip. She offered it to Su Xuan with a smile. "Human, this is for you. This True Ancestor has no use for something of this caliber."

As she finished speaking, the drop of blood fell into Su Xuan’s mouth.

[You have obtained blood from the Snake of Death. Your Physique has increased by 50!]

"?"

Su Xuan stared blankly for a moment when he saw the notification.

He never would have thought Kanlutia had such an ability—to turn an enemy’s blood into a stat-boosting item.

[Congratulations on defeating the Snake of Death! You have obtained the Player Trait: Tongue of Death!]

[Tongue of Death: Your tongue gains an Epic enhancement! Attack Speed +500%! Attack Power +500%! Furthermore, your tongue gains an Invincible effect!]

"?"

The description for the [Tongue of Death] trait left Su Xuan with a complicated expression. He could understand the stat bonuses, but what did the word "Invincible" mean?

’Could it mean that if I encounter a fatal threat that could destroy my body, only my tongue would survive?’

This...

Su Xuan stood there, stunned for a moment, then his gaze shifted to Lucia.

"Hm?"

Lucia looked back, confused. She didn’t understand why Su Xuan was looking at her so strangely.
