Chapter 1039: Four-Colored Spoils

Hiss—

As the crowd dispersed, a sharp cry rang out from within the red flames!

All that could be seen was the rising scarlet flames transforming into the shape of a flying bird.

As this flame bird flapped its wings and rose, the surrounding spreading gray deathly aura was completely burned away by the red flames.

Then the red flame bird began to surge upward into the sky.

That was…

Zhu Que!

Afterward, the flame Zhu Que that had rushed into midair slightly lowered its head; its eyes made of fire glanced at Su Sheng and the others, then gave a small hop.

Immediately after, the flame Zhu Que raised its head and let out a piercing cry, then slowly dissipated.

Afterward, scattered flames turned into sparks that fell, but they gradually extinguished before reaching the ground.

Only the solitary, silent tomb in the city remained.

And where the boss had been, there was no trace of it left—just a pile of white ash on the ground.

Besides that, there was a heap of spoils!

Dead!?

No, a boss this big just died like that?

It still had 10% health, and the health axis? The frenzy skill?

Nothing at all, just like that?

This is really letting down the facade of that pseudo‑lord‑level boss, isn't it?

However, combining the boss's earlier muttering lines.

Su Sheng already had a rough idea in his mind.

After this boss died, it transformed into an undead, and then, through the protection of the Zhu Que true spirit, it broke free from the Undead Overlord's control.

And this boss, when at the 10% frenzy health axis, was preparing to use undead power.

However, because it bore the Undead Overlord's gaze upon itself, it ultimately failed to hide its actions and successfully drew the Overlord's attention.

As the Undead Overlord, it naturally commands all undead beings.

Now that it has discovered such an undead not under its control, the Undead Overlord naturally prepares to seize control of it by force.

Although that boss was already an undead, it did not wish to be controlled by the Undead Overlord, so it directly burned its entire true spirit with the Zhu Que divine fire—an alternative form of suicide.

Having roughly figured out the cause and effect, the scholar's heart could not help but be greatly astonished.

It seems the operational logic of the 'Zhu Lu' game world is far more intricate than I imagined.

I never expected, never expected that because of the Undead Overlord's gaze, there would actually be this additional effect.

However, at the same time, Su Sheng's heart also felt a bit of relief.

This boss's difficulty is truly abnormal.

During the earlier little frenzy health axis, everyone almost got wiped out.

Heaven knows how difficult this 10% frenzy health axis will be; even if we manage to get through it, we'll likely suffer heavy losses.

Although Su Sheng had just exhausted all his means and prepared to resist.

Among them, the victory hymn shield's invincible skill, which had never been used before, has now been activated, preparing to hard‑tank the boss's this frenzy health axis.

I never expected that instead, this unexpected situation would occur.

This can also be considered a pleasant surprise.

Not only that!

Swish—

In an instant, many members of the Yan Huang around them began to flash with golden light.

Leveled up!

Some Yan Huang players leveled up, while some Yan Huang players were just a bit short of experience.

Now that this boss is dead, following the dungeon's rich rewards, naturally many people who were on the verge of leveling up directly did so.

This includes Su Sheng!!

Level 71!

All along the way, Su Sheng's contribution value has not been low.

Furthermore, earlier he alone devoured a boss's experience; adding this boss assault, Su Sheng, whether in output or in taking damage, ranks first, naturally also consuming the lion's share of experience.

Now that we've killed this boss, he leveled up directly, which was also expected.

Although the experience required for leveling up now is extraordinarily huge, the dungeon's experience reward is also very abundant.

Furthermore, don't forget that Su Sheng has been wearing that devil's contract ring that adds experience.

But at this moment, nobody has the mind to worry about their own level.

Everyone stared intently at the spoils left behind by the boss's death.

Everyone's eyes burst with delighted light, including Su Sheng himself.

Because that spoil is truly exceptionally attractive.

A column of colored light shot up into the sky.

Indeed, colored!!

However, besides that, there was nothing else—only a column of colored light!

Divine Artifact!!

And it's four‑colored!!

Four-Colored Divine Artifact quality!!

Mainstream players still mix blue gear with green gear.

Those who can wear a few more purple pieces are already considered minor masters.

Someone who can equip a single epic piece is definitely a great master.

Red Legend is no longer within reach of ordinary players.

As for Divine Artifacts, you can see on the equipment leaderboard the scant number of Divine Artifacts.

Compare that with the massive global player base.

Then you can know just how scarce Divine Artifacts are.

So on the Yanhuang side, Su Sheng holds a Demon God Lightning and a Victory Anthem Shield, while Lu Zhe holds a Heavenly Cluster Cloud.

One guild possesses three Divine Artifacts.

I wonder how much saliva the numerous guilds on the Domestic Server have shed.

Of course, they still don't know about the Demon Contract; otherwise they'd be insanely jealous.

Demon God Lightning, Victory Anthem, and Demon Contract—three Divine Artifacts—make Su Sheng's equipment extravagance far ahead.

Moreover, the Brahmin God-Slaying side has never revealed any news about the Demon Contract, so it's estimated that aside from Brahmin God-Slaying, no one knows that a defying Six-Colored Divine Artifact also resides in the Yanhuang Guild's hands.

After all, Brahmin God-Slaying clearly understands how crucial this game is.

And he belongs to the high caste, although the officials cannot openly intervene.

But if the officials know he obtained a Demon Contract and then conceal it, handing it over to the people of Huaxia,

Even if he is of high caste, he must still face a considerable punishment.

Thus he never dares to expose the matter, only grinding his teeth and swallowing it himself.

…

Currently this BOSS is very difficult, but the loot lives up to its difficulty.

Of course, Su Sheng knows this in his heart.

Considering the special circumstances of this Dungeon.

Moreover, the BOSS's rank is ultimately only pseudo Commander Rank.

Most likely this Four-Colored loot is just some kind of item, not equipment.

However, this is a Dungeon akin to a garrison raid, so even if it's an item, it should be useful for the garrison.

Thus Su Sheng is mentally prepared, yet also somewhat hopeful.

"Chairman, go pick up the loot,"

Even the usually calm Zhang Zhi's voice reveals a hint of excitement.

After all, this is Four-Colored Divine Artifact loot, who wouldn't be excited?

Su Sheng didn't hold back, strode forward and picked up the loot.

But as he looked at the loot's attributes, Su Sheng raised an eyebrow.
