Chapter 207 - 162: Sacrifice to the Netherworld King, Seizing the Demon Beast’s Territory

Chapter 207: Chapter 162: Sacrifice to the Netherworld King, Seizing the Demon Beast’s Territory

Fang Xiu took out the Law of Life.

Sacrificing certainly had its benefits.

He could gain 1% of his Life Value each time.

And by now, Fang Xiu had already gained a total of 15% to his Life Value from Sacrifices.

"Is that the Magic Staff you received as a reward for your first Sacrifice?"

At that moment, Principal Xiang was looking curiously at the staff in Fang Xiu’s hand.

After all, this Magic Staff looked exceptionally fine.

And to think Fang Xiu had traded a single Demon Crystal for it.

That struck Principal Xiang as utterly incredible.

"Yeah, I got lucky. The Goddess of Life probably happened to need a Demon Crystal to fix her bracelet."

Fang Xiu nodded slightly.

He was, of course, telling the truth.

But who would ever believe such a thing?

"Haha, perhaps. Say, could I take a look at this Magic Staff?"

Principal Xiang chuckled.

He naturally didn’t believe Fang Xiu’s words, assuming he was just making a joke.

After all, how could a mere person possibly know what a deity needed?

Even a Sacrificial Master, who might be able to sense what a deity lacked, would never be told by the deity what the item was for.

Of course, no one knew that Fang Xiu possessed a system.

A system that not even the most powerful Prophet could foresee.

"Sure."

Fang Xiu nodded slightly and handed the Life Staff to Principal Xiang.

He wasn’t worried that Principal Xiang would covet his Life Staff.

Besides, in anyone else’s hands, only its basic Attributes could be seen.

The hidden Skill, the one that increased his own Life Value by 1%, was concealed.

Unless Fang Xiu unbound the staff, no one would be able to see its secrets.

"This really is a fine item!"

Even without the hidden Skill,

Principal Xiang felt that this [Life Staff] was a fine item.

Ever since Fang Xiu had learned how bizarre the stats on this world’s weapons could be,

he also felt that this staff was actually quite good.

"Here you go!"

After observing it carefully, Principal Xiang handed it back to Fang Xiu.

Taking back the Life Staff,

Fang Xiu didn’t hesitate any longer and directly activated his Sacrifice Skill.

"Respected Mr. Netherworld King, I now Sacrifice this Netherworld King Armor Fragment to you. I hope you like it!"

Fang Xiu casually chanted a line.

A ray of light enveloped the stone fragment.

He had no idea why these Deities all loved to be praised.

’Can’t I just activate the Skill and silently dedicate the Sacrifice to someone in my head? Isn’t that enough?’

’Doing it like this is so much trouble.’

Of course, if it meant getting good rewards, Fang Xiu wasn’t afraid of trouble.

When the light faded,

the box in Fang Xiu’s hands had already disappeared.

In its place was another box.

It was a little larger than the original.

But not by much.

"What is this?"

Fang Xiu was a little curious.

After all, the Netherworld King had even taken the box.

The item he gave in return had to be good, right?

Meanwhile, Principal Xiang watched from the side, also curious.

Fang Xiu made no attempt to hide it from Principal Xiang.

There was no way around it; the item had been left behind by the principal’s grandfather.

Since Fang Xiu had used it for a Sacrifice, there was naturally no way to hide the resulting item from Principal Xiang.

Of course, Fang Xiu had never intended to hide it in the first place.

No matter what appeared inside.

With that thought, Fang Xiu opened it directly.

A flash of light emerged from the box.

It vanished in an instant.

At this moment, both Fang Xiu and Principal Xiang were staring at the box with great curiosity.

Soon, the item inside became clear.

It was a statue.

It was pitch-black all over, making it impossible to tell what material it was carved from.

"What... is this?"

Fang Xiu examined it closely but couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

’What on earth is the use of this statue?’

Moreover, the carving was very crude.

It wasn’t in anyone’s likeness.

It was just a basic shape.

It looked a bit like one of those little shadow figures from an anime.

Lurking in the darkness, flashing a strange smile.

Except, this little charcoal-black figure had no facial features.

"I’ve never seen this thing before either!"

Principal Xiang frowned slightly.

Forget Fang Xiu; even he, a man who had lived for decades, had never seen such a thing!

"System, analyze this. What is it?"

Fang Xiu directly called upon the system.

After all, there was nothing that could stump Tongzi.

[Ding! Substitute Stone Statue detected. Cannot be Sacrificed!]

The moment Fang Xiu finished speaking,

the system’s voice sounded once again.

Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback. ’What in the world is this so-called Substitute Stone Statue?’

However, after the system gave its result,

a detailed description appeared on the Substitute Stone Statue.

Fang Xiu picked it up directly and took a look.

[Substitute Stone Statue: Drip blood onto it to activate. After activation, you will gain a death substitute. If you die, you can resurrect at a set revival point.]

A simple and brutally direct introduction.

Fang Xiu liked it a lot.

"Resurrection? So you’re saying, even if I get killed right now, I have a chance to come back to life?"

Fang Xiu was very excited. "Doesn’t that mean I have an extra life now?"

This was no different from having an extra life!

Without a moment’s hesitation, Fang Xiu took out a dagger, cut his finger, and dripped his blood onto the [Substitute Stone Statue].

Soon, there was a reaction.

A flash of light swept over it, and facial features began to form on the statue.

It transformed directly into Fang Xiu’s likeness.

"Holy crap, this statue is way too handsome, isn’t it?"

Fang Xiu was thoroughly shocked.
