Chapter 81

Suddenly, a loud voice rang out from the crowd.

"Everyone, stop!"

"Someone must have had a treasure map; they used the treasure map to loot it!"

Once these words were spoken, a glimmer of reason flashed in everyone’s eyes.

"Right... that's it, the treasure map has the highest looting priority!"

"Hiss! What you say is indeed true!"

"The looting distance of the treasure map is much further than ours!"

"Damn it, who is it!?"

The reason in everyone’s eyes only flickered for a moment.

Afterward, it instantly turned back into greedy killing intent.

They looked around, cold light flashing in their eyes, as if they wanted to search the crowd to find out who had taken the treasure chest!

The slaughter continued!

"It could be that swordsman called God of Slaughter; he must have used the treasure map to loot it while he was stealthily escaping!"

"But it's also possible that he hasn't left yet and is still among us!"

"Or perhaps the holder of the treasure map is among us right now!"

"Regardless, we must kill until someone voluntarily hands over the treasure chest, kill!!!"

The scene was noisy, and everyone was dealing lethal blows.

After today... less than half of the people on the field would remain alive.

Su Ming was teleported nearly a hundred meters away by the Stealth-Teleportation Art.

In this dungeon, the white mist was extremely dense, blocking people’s vision.

Basically, beyond fifty meters, you couldn't see anything.

So after Su Ming escaped, he was basically safe.

He immediately activated Lingbo Micro-steps and quickly fled.

He moved far away from that group's battlefield.

Turning back to look, they were still fighting each other.

Loud noises and screams continued to ring out.

Su Ming’s expression was cold as he said in a deep voice.

"Very good, keep slaughtering; even if only half of you remain, I will take revenge on each of you in the future..."

He clenched his fists and put away all his swords.

He had already memorized the appearance of everyone there!

At the same time, his heart was filled with anticipation for the Diamond Treasure Chest.

And a bit of curiosity.

Who... exactly saved him?

Su Ming sprinted for several miles.

Finally, beside a cold ice lake, he saw a young man.

He had messy short hair and was wearing a light blue long robe.

In his right hand, he held a long ebony staff.

Its quality would not be low.

Su Ming immediately scanned his information.

[Yu Mian]

[Race: Half-Elf]

[Level: 37 (0/300 EXP)]

[Class: Mist-Hidden Mage]

[Strength: 47]

[Constitution: 50]

[Agility: 27]

[Spirit: 363]

[Luck: 82]

[Talent: Magic Affinity (He has half-elven blood flowing through him, so he is naturally gifted with superior intelligence and has a strong affinity for magic)]

[Skills: Stealth-Teleportation Art, Heavenly River Rainstorm, Liquid-to-Ice Solidification, Falling Waterfall, Rain Barrier Art, Appearance Disguise Art]

He was actually... a half-elf!

He was actually a half-elf!

That is, a child of a human and an elf.

Not accepted by human society, nor accepted by the elven race, they are considered to have tainted blood.

But this person was very smart.

He had learned the Appearance Disguise Art to hide the pointed-ear features of a half-elf.

In this way, he could live freely in human society.

Except for someone like Su Ming, who possessed the Eye of Insight and could unreasonably detect all information, it was difficult for others to see through his true race.

No wonder he could use the Stealth-Teleportation Art!

This is a skill that can only be learned at the Fourth Rank.

Because he was a half-elf, he was able to break the rules and learn it at the Third Rank.

The skill tree of each race is different.

Compared to humans, the elven race has a much stronger learning ability for magic-related skills.

Moreover, the innate spirit of an elf is higher than the human limit.

When a human first awakens at level one, the limit of their spirit attribute is 10 points.

While for the elven race, it is 20 points.

From this point, one can see the elven talent for magic.

"Why save me?"

Su Ming stared at him and asked calmly.

Yu Mian slowly turned his head and looked at Su Ming.

He stretched out a hand.

"My name is Yu Mian."

His voice was very pleasant, low and deep.

This is the advantage of the elven race; as long as you have elven blood flowing in you, your appearance will naturally not be ugly.

Any random elf is top-tier in terms of human aesthetics.

However, this half-elf player named Yu Mian did not look as elegant or noble as the stereotypical elves in people's minds.

Instead, his whole body was filled with a decadent aura!

He was unshaven, and his hair was messy.

His mage robe was also covered in stains.

Getting slightly closer, one could even smell a faint scent of alcohol on this guy.

"God of Slaughter."

Su Ming shook hands with him, and they exchanged names.

Knowing the other person's name allowed for remote communication.

Su Ming used his title instead, which had the same effect.

"God of Slaughter?"

"Hmm... this title is a bit creepy."

He smiled slightly and said.

He knew that Su Ming had given his title, not his real name.

Afterward, his expression became serious.

He stared at Su Ming, his eyes flashing with sharp light, and said.

"I saved you... for no other reason."

"I had a few friends who died at the hands of that elite dual-sword skeleton; you helped me avenge them."

"And..."

Speaking of this, Yu Mian paused.

"I was the one who lured that group of people over; I just wanted them to kill the elite skeleton."

"I put you in the middle of a disaster, so I bear a great responsibility."

Hearing this, Su Ming’s eyes showed slight surprise.

This guy is really smart.

He had previously specifically said on the world channel that there was a treasure chest here, but it was guarded by an elite monster, telling people not to come.

In reality, he was just utilizing people's contrarian psychology.

If he had said there were no monsters here, only a treasure chest, the crowd would have thought there was a trap and wouldn't have dared to come.

He really had a perfect grasp of human nature.

"By the way... I could also look for an opportunity to see if I could reap the benefits as the fisherman, and seize the treasure chest."

A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

The so-called mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

This Yu Mian was the oriole.

This plan could be called killing two birds with one stone.

Su Ming looked at him, feeling a sense of wariness in his heart.

This Yu Mian had no elven aura at all.

Instead, he was just like an ordinary decadent man.

He must have gone through some story.

"I saw earlier that you have a treasure map."

"You have the highest looting priority."

"So I knew that as long as I could save you, you would be able to bring the treasure chest over..."

Yu Mian said with his eyes slightly narrowed, like someone who was deep in calculation.

Su Ming’s expression was calm, and he made a prompt decision.

He took the Diamond-mid-grade treasure chest directly out of his personal space.

Saving his own life was indeed no problem.

But without Yu Mian, he wouldn't have been able to get this treasure chest.

Therefore, he deserved a share.

The heavy treasure chest landed on the ground.

The crystal-clear treasure chest was inlaid with various diamonds.

Su Ming’s actions were very straightforward, without any hesitation or delay.

Repaying grudges with grudges and kindness with kindness—this was Su Ming’s nature.

"Without you, I wouldn't have been able to get this treasure chest."

"So, you can pick one treasure to take later."

Su Ming said in a deep voice.

"Hmm... you are not as shameless as other humans."

Yu Mian’s expression was calm, and he said steadily on the surface.

But in reality, as he watched Su Ming’s actions, he was also sweating internally.

Because the moment he mentioned the treasure chest, Su Ming suddenly raised his hand.

It was hard not to mistake that for Su Ming wanting to kill him to keep the treasure for himself.

Fortunately, this swordsman player named God of Slaughter wasn't that evil.

He hadn't misjudged him.

After all, Yu Mian had also seen earlier how Su Ming single-handedly killed the skeleton swordsman and fought hard while surrounded by that group of people.

That posture was truly outstanding.

So he didn't dare to underestimate Su Ming’s strength and had been on guard in his heart.

He was a mage, and melee combat was his weakness; once Su Ming launched a sudden sneak attack at this distance, he would be at a great disadvantage.

"Humans?"

"Haha, hearing you say that, Brother Yu, it's as if you aren't human yourself."

Su Ming joked; although he knew Yu Mian’s true race, he didn't expose him.

Everyone has their own secrets.

Yu Mian just smiled it off.

Afterward, Su Ming’s expression became serious.

"No matter how many items are opened from the treasure chest, you can only take one."

"After all... I put in the lion's share of the effort."

He said slowly with a solemn expression.

In his past life, he had been open-hearted to others, only to be betrayed.

So in this life, he naturally had to put his own interests first.

Hearing this, Yu Mian nodded.

It was actually fair enough.

After all, Su Ming had given him the power of priority selection.

This was actually more precious than other treasures.

A Diamond Treasure Chest might only open one Diamond-grade treasure, and the others might be Platinum-grade.

The value gap between Platinum and Diamond is like the difference between heaven and earth.

Being able to choose first meant he would definitely be able to take the most valuable treasure.

"Fine, open the chest."

He said.

Su Ming opened the treasure chest directly.

[Opening Diamond Treasure Chest!]

[Melt-Cold Alloy (Diamond-mid-grade forging material)]

[Dragon-Slaying Art - Skill Scroll (Diamond-low-grade sword skill)]

[Vampire Potion (Platinum-high-grade)]

Three items in total!

Looking at these items, Yu Mian frowned.

There wasn't a single item for a mage!

The drop rate of items depends on each person's luck value.

Because Su Ming’s luck attribute was too high.

So basically, the things that dropped were all things Su Ming could use.

Su Ming stared at him quietly, waiting for his choice.

He thought this person would choose the Melt-Cold Alloy.

This was a Diamond-mid-grade forging material.

Weapons forged with it would at the very least be of Diamond quality.

It wouldn't even be impossible for them to rank as Epic-grade.

"Tsk..."

"Nothing I can use."

Yu Mian frowned.

He was silent for a moment, and finally took a step back.
