Chapter 286: The Mighty Ghostly Host of Ying Nation, Only Playing Bird?

Lin Mo walked over to Li Zhiyan's headless corpse.

He reached out and seized the golden glow.

The light dispersed.

A bizarre dagger appeared in his hand.

【Shadow Poison Fang (Legendary Unique Weapon)】

【Attributes: Agility +800, Spirit +400】

【Effect 1: Shadow Concealment (Enters absolute invisibility for 10 seconds; first attack after reappearing guarantees a critical strike and ignores 50% of the target's physical defense)】

【Effect 2: Blood-Stopper (Attacks inflict lethal poison, dealing 2% of the target's maximum HP as true damage per second for 5 seconds, unremovable by normal purification)】

【Effect 3: Final Instant Kill (Teleports behind a target within ten meters for a guaranteed critical strike, adding 50% bonus critical damage; cooldown: 5 minutes)】

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

"No wonder it's a unique weapon."

"Top-tier weapon for an assassin."

"Built-in true damage and teleporting backstab—excellent."

He casually tossed the dagger into his inventory.

Next,

Lin Mo walked to the spot where Jin Taicheng had been blown to pieces.

In the center of that charred ruin,

a golden glow pulsed with wild lightning.

Lin Mo picked it up.

【Thunder Frenzy Gauntlets (Legendary Unique Weapon)】

【Attributes: Strength +900, Constitution +600】

【Effect 1: Thunder Bloodline (All melee attacks deal heavy lightning penetration damage and splash to all within a 5-meter radius)】

【Effect 2: Fierce Unyielding (For every 10% HP lost, attack speed and attack power increase by 10%, up to a maximum of 80%)】

【Effect 3: Wrath of the Thunder God (Detonates all stored lightning power to deliver an immensely powerful punch; cooldown: 30 minutes)】

Looking at these attributes,

looking at these effects,

Lin Mo smirked.

"Tsk tsk tsk—each one's more outrageous than the last…"

"No wonder they were so arrogant just now."

"Pity they never got to lift a finger."

Lin Mo shook his head and stowed it in his inventory.

In the time that followed,

Lin Mo wandered through the vast ruin like he was browsing a supermarket.

Staff.

Shield.

Longbow.

Greataxe.

Every time he bent down, he picked up a legendary unique weapon.

These strategic-level resources now lay scattered like cabbage leaves—pick up a handful anywhere.

Not long after,

twenty unique weapons lay quietly in Lin Mo's inventory.

Emitting a full row of blinding golden light.

Lin Mo brushed the dust off his hands.

"Didn't expect such a haul."

"Once I get out…"

"Guo and Nie will probably scream when they see this."

Thinking of this,

Lin Mo suddenly frowned.

"Wait a minute…"

He rubbed his chin, deep in thought.

"I heard that before, when entering the Ten Nations Battlefield, few nations issued unique weapons to their prodigies."

"After all, if you die here, your gear drops."

"If a unique weapon fell into another nation's hands, it'd be a major loss."

Lin Mo glanced at the craters littering the ground.

"Why was North Han so generous this time?"

"Giving everyone a legendary unique weapon? That's absurd."

"Could it be…"

An idea surfaced in Lin Mo's mind.

"Could it be that the other six nations, like North Han, each issued their prodigies a unique weapon?"

Thinking of this,

Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

Seven nations.

Twenty people per nation.

That's one hundred and forty legendary unique weapons!!!

"Holy shit…"

Lin Mo was stunned.

"If I grabbed them all, Long Country would instantly have a unique weapon surplus!"

"This isn't a seven-nation siege—it's a seven-nation gift drop! Big benefactors!"

At that moment,

in his skill bar,

【'Fireball' suddenly stirred agitatedly.】

【"Master!"】

【"Something's up in the sky!"】

"Huh?"

Lin Mo's smile vanished instantly.

He followed the Fireball's perception and looked up.

The gray, hazy sky held nothing but layers of oppressive clouds.

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Something?"

【"Yes! In the sky!"】

【'Fireball' was certain.】

【"Far away, hidden behind the clouds—looks like a flying beast!"】

Hearing this,

Lin Mo felt a flicker of doubt.

"A flying beast?"

"This is the Ten Nations Battlefield—there aren't even ordinary monsters."

"Where would a flying beast come from?"

"And I've never heard of any flying boss spawning here."

After a brief pause,

Lin Mo stopped caring.

"Little Fire, bring it down."

【"Yes, Master!"】

【'Fireball' roared with excitement.】

【"Finally, it's my turn to strike!"】

The next second,

before Lin Mo,

a crimson flame coalesced instantly in midair.

Spinning wildly, compressing.

BOOM!

The Infernal Spiral Dragon Ball shot upward as a crimson streak, piercing straight into the cloud layer.

……

Meanwhile.

On the other side of the Ten Nations Battlefield.

In a hidden ravine where the Ying nation's ghost gods were concealed.

"Ah!"

Kojirō suddenly staggered backward two steps and collapsed onto the ground.

"Kojirō?!"

The Ying nation students around him were instantly startled.

Kamon Kyō's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"What happened?"

Kojirō gasped for breath in heavy, ragged gulps.

"Dead… dead…"

"My Crimson Flame Raven… was one-shot!"

Upon hearing this,

Kamon Kyō's face darkened instantly.

"Didn't I tell you to be careful?"

"I was careful…"

Kojirō looked aggrieved.

"I had the Raven hide in the clouds five kilometers away—no one could see it with the naked eye at that distance…"

"But…"

"Lin Mo still found it. A red beam struck it down instantly…"

After hearing Kojirō's description,

Kamon Kyō fell silent.

Five kilometers.

To be detected at such a distance…

It could not have been seen with the naked eye.

Only one possibility remained: this Long nation man, Lin Mo, possessed terrifying elemental perception.

Kamon Kyō took a deep breath and looked down at Kojirō on the ground.

"Before your Raven was killed, what did you see?"

Kojirō thought back.

"I saw…"

"Countless pits, everywhere. And corpses—everywhere—shattered, torn into pieces…"

Listening to Kojirō's description,

everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Kojirō continued:

"And…"

"I saw that Long nation man—Lin Mo."

"He stood beside one of the deep pits."

"And… beside him, there seemed to be a huge… beast? Like a fox!"

Upon hearing this,

Kamon Kyō froze.

"A beast accompanying him? A pact beast?"

He frowned.

"A pact beast?"

Hearing this, Yanagi Ken'ichi blurted out:

"What nonsense!"

"Can anyone at this level even tame a pact beast?"

He glared fiercely at Kojirō.

"Kojirō, did you panic and mistake something?"

"I… wouldn't. I saw it clearly."

Kojirō replied after thinking.

"Enough, Ken'ichi."

Amakusa Sōichirō couldn't help speaking up:

"That Long nation man already has a pact beast—do you still think this is just a natural disaster?"

Hearing this, Yanagi Ken'ichi's face flushed red:

"I don't care. I still don't believe anyone at this level could unleash such an attack—it has to be a natural disaster!"

At that moment,

Lin Mo sent another message.

【You dogs, why aren't you here yet? It's been ages—how can young people be this slow on their feet?】

【I just spotted a little bird in the sky and took it down.】

【Not sure if it's yours, Ying nation folks.】

【If it is, then I really look down on you.】

【The mighty Ying nation Ghost Gods, hiding behind birds? That's all you've got?】

【If your legs are too weak to move, just bark twice and wag your tails.】

【I'll come find you myself.】
