Chapter 388

"Sister, we've only just met..."

In Jiang Lan's eyes, there was some hidden reluctance, but she had to do this.

She said seriously, "Yunqing, you should have seen the effect of the heirloom necklace father gave us."

"As long as we don't die at the same time, we can survive."

"Therefore, we cannot be together and give the enemy a chance to wipe us out in one go."

"We must separate by a hundred miles, a thousand miles, ten thousand miles, as far as the ends of the earth."

"This way, no one can kill us both at the same time, and we can survive, grow up, and avenge father and mother."

"Besides..." As she spoke, Jiang Lan glanced at Su Ming from the corner of her eye, seemingly wanting to remind her sister to be wary of this guy...

But she thought about it—if it weren't for Su Ming, her sister would have died ten thousand times already.

Taking a step back, even if her sister really did that with him, so what? Life is greater than everything; in the end, she remained silent.

Jiang Yunqing's eyes were red, and she understood her sister's meaning.

But she was still somewhat reluctant.

"Sister, then when will I be able to see you again?"

There was some glimmer in Jiang Lan's eyes as she gently stroked her sister's hair and said with a bitter smile.

"I..."

The next instant, white light flashed, and the dungeon settled.

Everyone left this dungeon world.

Jiang Yunqing ultimately didn't get to hear her sister's last sentence.

The two sisters were separated from this day on.

Su Ming took advantage of the last moment before his body disappeared to activate the Lingbo Micro-Steps, arriving at Ji Yao's side and pulling her into his arms.

This way, he could take her with him for the settlement, so she wouldn't have to return to the initial location in the outside world alone.

As long as they were teammates in the same party, this could be done.

In the distant battlefield, Lei Chen transformed into thunder, still maneuvering among countless experts.

The number of Zhang family assassins was endless, coming from all directions to surround and kill him.

The Yin-Yang Fist Master Zhang Xiangsheng also used a very high-tier antidote, temporarily resisting the toxicity of the Death Poison Wang Lin and recovering quite a bit of combat power.

After all, he was a fifth-turn expert, not to mention that having sold his life for the Zhang family for so long, he wouldn't be short of high-tier items; even if poisoned by an epic-grade item, he had things that could temporarily alleviate it.

After Zhang Xiangsheng recovered his strength, he joined forces with a group of experts, forcing Lei Chen to retreat step by step.

If it weren't for Zhang Xiangsheng, Lei Chen, with his fifth-turn realm, could have crushed the third-turn and fourth-turn players on the scene in an instant.

Unfortunately, with Zhang Xiangsheng holding him back, he fell into a very passive situation.

Blood spilled from the corner of Lei Chen's mouth, and he felt that his mental power was also running low.

Suddenly, a voice appeared in his mind.

【World Boss is dead, beginning settlement!】

Lei Chen was incredibly shocked!

Everyone on the scene also had trembling eyes!

Zhang Xiangsheng's expression was ugly, and he almost couldn't help but roar in his heart: Just when he was about to beat this troublesome Thunder Venerable to death, the dungeon settled at this time?

The assassins and solo players were also dumbfounded.

"The dungeon is actually settling!? Doesn't that mean all our efforts for so long were in vain?"

"Damn it! My brother died in this battle just to catch that woman and take the bounty."

"Now, all previous efforts are wasted!"

There was no time for people to complain; soon the dungeon closed.

A white glow lingered on everyone's bodies.

Afterward, they each appeared individually in a white, void space.

This dungeon had been completely finished, and all players were forcibly exited.

Su Ming stood in the settlement space, holding the unconscious Ji Yao in his arms.

Ji Yao's condition was extremely poor; her whole body was trembling, and her fair skin was covered in dense purple blood vessels.

Under normal circumstances, vampire conversion is performed while the person is still alive.

But Ji Yao had been injected with vampire essence blood while in a near-death state; this was a rare situation in the world.

Su Ming couldn't predict what changes would happen to her...

So at this very moment, he was incredibly worried.

At this time, the dungeon's settlement information popped up.

【Player: Slaughter Su Ming】

【Killed Corrupt Villagers X 88】

【Killed Boss Burning Bone Giant】

Su Ming's score rose slowly.

【One-hit kill on Boss】

【High-level player challenging low-level dungeon, score reduced】

【Final Evaluation: B-grade】

【Settlement Reward: Strength Enhancement Pill】

This time in the Corrupt Mountain Village dungeon, Su Ming didn't come to get loot, but to save someone.

So he didn't kill many monsters or explore many treasures at all; he just rushed through.

It was a second-turn dungeon anyway, so he didn't expect to get any supreme treasures; he was satisfied to have this reward.

He scanned the pill in his hand to check its effects.

【Strength Enhancement Pill (Gold Top-Tier)】

【After use, can permanently increase one's strength attribute by a small amount.】

It was very similar to the Marrow Strengthening Pill, but this pill only increased one attribute, making the effect more concentrated.

Su Ming had once used a Millennium Purple Vein Lingzhi, which increased his overall attributes.

Now with this pill, his attributes would be much higher than players of the same realm.

He directly performed sublimation.

Afterward, a brown-black pill landed in his hand.

【Ancient Rhinoceros Strength Pill (Shi Shi Mid-Tier)】

【Muscles and strength like coiled dragons, one pill down and you can pull up a willow tree. A pill refined from the bone and blood of an ancient giant rhinoceros as the main material, added with ginseng, Mad Evil Meat-Swallowing Grass, Iron Bone Flower, and many other materials. The effect is powerful and can permanently increase the user's strength attribute; one person can only have it take effect once in a lifetime.】

Su Ming immediately swallowed it.

Suddenly, an unprecedented, scorching power surged into his limbs and bones!

Su Ming's muscles bulged slightly, and the abundant power began to sweep through his bones and limbs like flowing water.

The violent muscular blood energy rushed straight to his crown, making his whole body shudder.

Ji Yao in his arms was even made to let out a muffled groan by the heat of his body.

After more than ten seconds, the scorching power of the pill was completely absorbed and dissipated by Su Ming.

【Strength Attribute +100】

It directly increased his strength attribute by 100 points!

That was equivalent to Su Ming's effort of ten levels.

One level only gives ten free attribute points, so this was equivalent to leveling up 10 times!

This was the effect of an epic lower-tier item, and it was permanent.

It's just a pity that things that permanently increase attributes are truly too rare.

Otherwise, just by popping pills, one could pop out a peerless genius.

Su Ming looked at his personal profile and also upgraded the skill 【Yin-Yang Fist Technique】 he had just seized from Zhang Xiangsheng.

【Sublimation successful!】

After Su Ming's Myriad Object Sublimation talent was upgraded by the fourth turn, it no longer had loot restrictions, and the skills he seized could also be sublimated.
