Chapter 1230: The Airhead

Although the Blade Master Kong had died, that green flame was still burning fiercely. This should be the Ghost Flame, a necessary condition for opening the inner checkpoints of the mausoleum.

As soon as Su Xiao killed Blade Master Kong, a prompt appeared.

【You have killed Blade Master Kong.】

【You have obtained Ancient Necrotic Essence x3.】

Three black crystal fragments appeared in Su Xiao's hand. Killing Blade Master Kong yielded neither World Source nor a treasure chest, and since Su Xiao's Spirit Eater talent had already devoured 200 points of mana, he did not gain any permanent mana increase either.

Su Xiao examined the black crystal fragments. Each was about the size of a thumbprint, smooth to the touch, and contained a type of energy he had never seen before.

Introduction: The essence of an ancient bloodline Necrotic, extremely rare.

Seeing the data for the Necrotic Essence, Su Xiao understood why he had only obtained three pieces after killing Blade Master Kong.

First, each piece was worth 3% World Source or 80,000 Paradise Coins. If neither was needed, they could be taken to a designated location in the mausoleum to be exchanged for set treasure chests.

Even if none of those were desired, they could be used directly to enhance one's own abilities, though only up to three could be used.

Su Xiao stored the 【Ancient Necrotic Essence】. Even for enhancing abilities, these items could not be used now. Based on past experience, using enhancement-type items was never a quick process, and they should never be used while in a dangerous situation.

The amount of 【Ancient Necrotic Essence】 obtained basically determined how many benefits Su Xiao could reap within the Xiya Sanctuary.

The high amount of World Source and Paradise Coins were very tempting, not to mention the set treasure chests and the ability enhancements; 【Ancient Necrotic Essence】 was definitely something the more of, the better.

Even if Su Xiao didn't use them in the Xiya Sanctuary, he could store them and sell them in the trading market; enhancement-type potions or items were among the best-selling commodities.

The rewards for killing Blade Master Kong looked generous, but one shouldn't forget that this was with Gos participating in the battle. Gos's participation would lead to a significant reduction in rewards. Under normal circumstances, Blade Master Kong should have dropped at least five to six pieces of Necrotic Essence. Even if he had chosen to exchange them directly for Paradise Coins, that would have been a gain of over 400,000 Paradise Coins, not to mention that Necrotic Essence could fetch even higher prices in the trading market.

The Xiya Sanctuary was worthy of being a hidden area; just killing Blade Master Kong yielded such rewards.

Su Xiao wiped the blood off Zhan Long Shan, sheathed the blade, and looked at a metal archway not far away.

This metal archway was seven meters high and four meters wide, with fist-sized holes along the edges and a flame pattern in the center.

According to Su Xiao's guess, opening this metal archway should require the scorching heat of the Ghost Flame.

"Wuu~"

A sobbing sound came; the airhead princess was squatting on the ground, wiping away tears. In front of her on the ground was a pile of ashes—that was Gos's remains.

"He's dead. Crying won't do anything. Keep going deeper into the mausoleum."

Su Xiao walked up to Alisa Herbert. Alisa looked up at Su Xiao, her eyes teary, like an abandoned little beast. When Su Xiao kicked Gos away earlier, Amu had happened to block Alisa's view; it was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang who had signaled Amu to do so.

In Alisa Herbert's view, Gos had suddenly charged at Blade Master Kong and was killed after being surrounded and overwhelmed.

Alisa had wanted Su Xiao to support Gos earlier, but Su Xiao's excuse was that he had been injured while fighting Blade Master Kong and needed to rest for a moment.

Even if Alisa had known the cause of Gos's death, Su Xiao had ways to handle it; the difference would be whether Alisa would cooperate in opening the subsequent mechanisms.

"Keep moving forward."

Su Xiao grabbed Alisa by the back of her collar and hauled her up, forcing her to stand steady.

"He... he..."

Alisa sniffled. It was no wonder she was so sad; Gos was the person she had spent the most time with.

"He's dead."

Su Xiao had no talent for comforting girls. Hearing this, tears welled up in Alisa's eyes again.

"He was protecting me..." Alisa's tears rolled down, and she tried hard not to cry out loud.

"Don't flatter yourself. He was doing it to leave the mausoleum."

As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, Alisa burst into tears. This gave Su Xiao a headache. Just as he was hesitating whether to knock Alisa unconscious and carry her away, Alisa's sobbing grew quieter.

"Father and Gos are both watching over me from heaven. I cannot fail their expectations."

Although Alisa was a bit of an airhead, her ability to comfort herself was top-tier; this was something she had developed from staying at home.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang rolled his eyes. That look seemed to say: "Neither your father nor Gos were good people; it's impossible for them to be in heaven. Especially your father—that old lion probably wouldn't even be accepted by hell."

Of course, Alisa didn't understand what Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang meant. She still thought Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was comforting her, so she hugged Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and her eyes turned red again.

Thud.

After a soft muffled sound, Alisa fainted directly. Su Xiao hauled Alisa up and tossed her toward Amu; he didn't have time to waste here.

Su Xiao observed the surrounding environment, but a few dozen seconds later, an unexpected situation occurred.

"Wuu~"

Alisa whimpered and woke up, which surprised Su Xiao. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was even more astonished.

"Did I just fall asleep?"

Alisa looked at Su Xiao in confusion, her eyes blank. The scene was extremely awkward.

The reason Su Xiao hadn't knocked Alisa out was because her constitution was special, and also because he hadn't used much force. With his strength, if he didn't control it well, Alisa's neck would be shattered.

"That's right, you slept for ten hours."

Su Xiao had already thought of a countermeasure.

"I... slept for that long?"

Alisa was full of bewilderment.

"To wait for you to wake up, we've been waiting here for ten hours."

"This..."

Alisa felt a bit guilty. She covered her aching neck and struggled in Amu's hand, so Amu let her go.

Su Xiao ignored the somewhat guilty Alisa. He took an iron rod from his storage space and placed it into the Ghost Flame. The iron rod was quickly ignited.

Su Xiao walked up to the metal archway and pressed the burning end of the iron rod against the metal door. However... nothing happened.

The metal door was not afraid of the scorching green flame; instead, the iron rod in Su Xiao's hand was gradually burned to slag.

"Um..."

Alisa spoke weakly. She sniffled, as if she wanted to say something.
