Chapter 2217: Chapter 2217: Medicine Shocks the World (2)

Chuzheng ran a certain distance, the demonic beast didn’t catch up with her, the fragrant scent of the grass and trees diluted the rotten smell in the air.

After confirming there were no demonic beasts behind, Chuzheng leaned against a tree gasping.

Coming here was so thrilling... it nearly scared me to death.

Chuzheng caught her breath a few times, looking down to check out her clothes.

The fabric felt cool and smooth to the touch, such material was not something ordinary people could use.

Chuzheng rummaged through herself thoroughly.

She found a pouch containing a Jade Pendant, which had a carved inscription—Chen Yin.

Besides this, she also found the words ’Chen Yin’ at one corner of the hem.

This ought to be the name of the body she currently inhabited.

Chen Yin...

The original owner’s memory had no information regarding this body’s past.

Chuzheng irritably stuffed the Jade back, deciding... to first find something to fill her stomach, she was so hungry.

While eating, Chuzheng took a glance at the game’s main storyline.

[Main Storyline: Player, please suppress the demonic beast progress 0%]

Chuzheng: "..."

Is this suppression meant to kill or cripple?

Chuzheng felt this comprehension was a bit difficult for her.

Can’t you say it more straightforwardly!

After pondering for a while with no conclusion, Chuzheng decided to play it by ear.

[Main Quest: Please acquire three Demonic Beast Cores within a time limit of two hours.]

Chuzheng blinked and asked: Should I catch them myself?

[Missy, remember what we are doing, no need for you to get your hands dirty! If you do it yourself, it doesn’t count.] King’s Account kept smiling.

Of course, Chuzheng knew it didn’t count, she just said it casually.

[...] Missy, does your card know you’re this cheeky?

Chuzheng filled her belly, dusted off her clothes, and stood up.

Demonic Beast Cores are the power cores of demonic beasts, the energy humans and beasts cultivate is different, so to utilize the beast core power, the core must be purified.

Not just anyone can transform it.

In Jiuzhou Continent, these people are quite popular and are referred to as Purification Demon Masters.

Similarly, Purification Demon Masters are very rare, and they usually serve large factions.

Cultivators either pay high prices to hire Purification Demon Masters or can only join these big factions.

Chuzheng pondered while moving in the opposite direction of the solitary mountain, the sounds of battle she heard upon waking were now gone.

However, after walking a while, Chuzheng felt extraordinarily exhausted.

Seems like... her stamina was swiftly depleting.

Not ’seems like’, it is!

Damn!

What’s going on?

[Missy, I suggest you go back and retrieve that coffin.]

Why?

[Just a suggestion.] King’s Account said crisply.

"..."

Chuzheng recalled the memories she received; the original owner in this body seemed always very weak.

It wasn’t just the body itself; even when rested well, she’d still soon feel limp.

That’s why when Meng Weihan and his crew found her, she had no chance to resist.

The coffin...

Could my alias possibly be a vampire?

No, no way.

Chuzheng wasn’t sure why King’s Account suddenly mentioned it but considering it had never harmed her except during mission assignments, she decided to heed King’s Account’s advice.

—Go fetch the coffin!

-

The coffin lay overturned at the bottom of the ’solitary mountain’, with several demonic beasts hovering nearby, one of them even pawing at the coffin, trying to flip it.

Apparently due to clumsy maneuvers, they didn’t succeed in flipping the coffin.

The demonic beast grew impatient, slammed a paw down, then roared angrily at the coffin.

Chuzheng crouched in the grass: "..."

As if witnessing idiocy.

So many demonic beasts, how am I supposed to sneak... I mean, fetch it?

Chuzheng held her face, deep in contemplation.

A death mode right from the start.

It’s so difficult for me, this weak and helpless little soul.

A mission countdown hovered above Chuzheng’s head, leaving her little time for pondering.

So Chuzheng quickly set into motion.

She stealthily moved to the closest spot near the coffin, marking the positions of the demonic beasts.

Chuzheng felt the ground for a few stones, weighed them, and hurled them at one of the demonic beasts.

"Roar!"

The demonic beast, hit by the stone, turned and growled lowly.

The beast behind it, baffled by the roar, swished its tail, deciding to ignore the commotion.

That beast growled twice, but hadn’t stirred up much, so it turned its head away.

Chuzheng continued hurling stones at the growled-at beast.

Under Chuzheng’s intervention, the two beasts soon engaged in a scuffle, while others observed from the side before eventually joining in.

The scene swiftly escalated into a brawl.

Chuzheng seized the opportunity to sneak near the coffin.

As she approached the coffin, a beast at the periphery that hadn’t joined the brawl suddenly turned its head to look her way.

Its eyes, as large as bronze bells, stared fixedly at Chuzheng.

Chuzheng: "!!!"

Damn!

Chuzheng cursed quietly, pressed the coffin edge, and sucked it into her Space, then bolted.

"Roar!"

That demonic beast let out a low growl, causing the others engaged in the brawl to cease simultaneously, and the next second, they all charged after Chuzheng.

If someone could view from the sky right now, it would be an awe-inspiring sight.

Chuzheng genuinely felt exhausted.

Her physical condition felt as if weighted, her legs like lead.

After shaking off those demonic beasts, Chuzheng felt she’d lost half her life.

No software, however optimal, can pull three-mao hardware!

Chuzheng gasped as she clutched her waist and chatted with King’s Account.

"Got the coffin, so why am I still like this?"

King’s Account remained silent.

"Don’t play dead."

King’s Account still stayed silent.

"..."

So frustrating!

King’s Account continued playing dead, entirely ignoring Chuzheng.

Chuzheng, gasping and frustrated over her frail condition, could do nothing but hug herself in anger.

Chuzheng retrieved the broken coffin, intending to inspect if it was an important tool.

King’s Account mentioned it specifically, urging her to swipe... take it back.

The coffin is black-colored, neither wood nor jade.

The outer patterns on the coffin, featuring flowers, birds, insects, beasts, intertwined vines, and impressive carving skills.

Such an item felt less like a coffin, more like artwork.

However, the coffin lacked a lid.

The surrounding of the solitary mountain was littered with wooden coffins, shattered beyond recognition; if there were intact lids, Chuzheng wouldn’t possibly overlook them.

Unless...

They were buried underneath.

Then she’s helpless, she can’t excavate in front of so many demonic beasts, right?

No way!

Not in this lifetime!

After inspecting the coffin, Chuzheng suddenly felt her body wasn’t as weary as before.

"???"

Recovered?

Chuzheng couldn’t fathom what was going on, decided to no longer ponder, and proceeded to complete the task.

However, once she stashed the coffin in her Space, she soon felt her physical strength draining again.

Damn!

After experimental attempts, Chuzheng confirmed that only when the coffin was outside did her body not feel weak.

Moreover, she couldn’t be more than ten meters away from the coffin.

Chuzheng gazed up at the sky, what kind of crap tool is this? Bastard come out and duel!!
