Chapter 2241: Envy

"Are you stupid? Run!"

Nita pulled out the rapier from her chest, tossed it lightly, and gripped the hilt.

Shangyue was silent for a moment before taking out a small piece of White Fat Candle and rushing into the black fog. At such a time, if she hesitated, she would be a pig teammate.

Just as Shangyue reached the door, she was blocked by Baha. Baha's expression was somewhat depressed; it couldn't fly now.

The smile on Nita's face gradually disappeared. The reason she didn't run was that she knew she couldn't escape.

As for why she covered Shangyue's escape—friendship with Shangyue? Not at all. Nita was a very smart woman. She knew she had gotten into big trouble. Although she didn't know how big this trouble was, if not handled well, everyone related to her would die, silenced to the last person.

To solve this trouble, there were two methods: 1. Create an illusion that she and Shangyue had a deep friendship, so everything would make sense; 2. Kill Su Xiao, which would be equivalent to cutting off the origin of the big trouble.

Clearly, killing Su Xiao was harder, so Nita chose the former.

Just as Nita was thinking about whether there were any loopholes, a long blade had already slashed over. She subconsciously held the rapier in front of her.

*Clang. *

The rapier snapped in response, and the long blade slashed across Nita's throat. Blood splashed. Her physical defense was almost non-existent under the blade edge of the Dragon Flash.

Nita's eyes widened because she felt that Su Xiao was even stronger than just now by a large margin.

With her throat slashed open, Nita still didn't give up fighting. She tilted her body, wanting to lunge to the side.

A flaw!

Su Xiao's kick, nearly faster than an afterimage, landed straight on Nita's lower abdomen.

With a *bang*, Nita made intimate contact with the wooden wall behind her. Her whole body went numb.

*Puchi. *

The long blade pierced through Nita's chest, directly piercing her heart, the tip of the blade stabbing into the wooden wall behind her.

"Cough~"

Nita coughed up specks of blood. Facing Su Xiao at full combat power, she didn't even have a chance to counterattack.

"Do I have no... value to use? Really envy that... silly Feather tribe young lady, having you monsters... protect her from death."

Leaving these words, Nita's arm dropped.

Su Xiao pulled out his blade and came to the door. Baha was lying on the ground.

"Stop feigning death."

"Gaga, Boss, my acting was good, right?"

Baha stood up and shook the bird feathers on its body. This was the second time Shangyue had escaped, but Shangyue herself didn't notice Baha's acting just now. From her perspective, the first escape was because she feigned death well, and the second was because Nita was covering her.

Su Xiao took a gray stone from his bosom. This was something from an old Demon. His hand clasped it.

With a *crack*, cracks appeared on the gray stone.

"The timing is not suitable for contact."

An aged voice came from within the gray stone.

"A female Feather tribe member, I bumped into her twice. When the gray stone touched her, the temperature released wasn't low. Ask that old guy of the Feather tribe. If it's not important, I'll just kill her."

"Wait."

"Fine."

The gray stone in Su Xiao's hand was full of cracks. Judging by the situation, it would shatter completely after two more uses.

At most five minutes later, a heat sensation appeared on the gray stone in Su Xiao's hand.

"Not important. Kill her."

"Oh."

"Not going to extort a bit? Met twice, quite a lot of trouble, right?"

The aged voice let out a low laugh. This was the low laugh of an old Demon.

"Can it be done?"

"Of course. Wait where you are. The Feather tribe side will find a way."

The heat on the gray stone dissipated. Su Xiao lit a cigarette and sat in the wooden house to wait. About half an hour later, rustling sounds came from outside the wooden house.

A small black hand reached out from the black fog, placed a small wooden jar at the door, and then retracted into the black fog.

【Hint: Void Tree notarization mechanism has been triggered.】

【Checking...】

【Check complete. This is a normal gain.】

【Notarization complete.】

Seeing this hint, Su Xiao stepped forward and picked up the small wooden jar on the ground.

【You have obtained Cherry Wind Wine.】

【Cherry Wind Wine】

Origin: Void · Feather tribe · Cherry Wind Forest

Quality: Saint-Spirit-grade

Type: Recovery item/Permanent buff item.

Usage Effect 1: If drunk during combat, it can immediately restore 100% health/mana and remove all abnormal states of Tier 7 or below.

Hint: The recovery effect of this item will still achieve full recovery after the real stamina attribute breaks through the 150-point barrier.

Hint: The Cherry Wind Wine contained in the wooden jar can be drunk three times.

Usage Effect 2: If drunk when not in combat, it can permanently increase 2500 health and 1100 mana, and permanently increase 2 points of real strength and 3 points of real agility attributes.

Score: 1000 (Saint-Spirit-grade item score is 700–1000 points)

Introduction: A secret treasure of the Feather tribe.

Selling Price: 635,000 Paradise Coins.

Seeing the attributes of 【Cherry Wind Wine】, Su Xiao was quite satisfied, but the hint for this item made him think of one thing.

Breaking through the 150-point barrier of attributes should be a major hurdle. At that time, the real attributes that break through the barrier will have a 150-point real attribute reward effect; strength, agility, stamina, and intelligence attributes are all the same.

The 150-point attribute barrier, Su Xiao felt, should be more difficult than breaking through 80 points. This might be the division of strength between Tier 7 and Tier 6.

Judging from the data of 【Cherry Wind Wine】, after the stamina attribute breaks through the 150-point barrier, the recovery item Su Xiao is currently using, the Ancient Secret Medicine, should not be usable anymore.

It's not that after the stamina attribute breaks through the 150-point barrier, the Ancient Secret Medicine has no recovery effect, but the recovery effect will decrease geometrically.

After Su Xiao's many improvements, the Ancient Secret Medicine can restore 90% health, but if the stamina attribute breaks through 150 points, the recovery effect might decrease to 10–15%.

Don't think this is very low; this is still an optimistic guess. Now Su Xiao's stamina attribute is 140 points, and the Ancient Secret Medicine is still effective, but the recovery speed is getting slower and slower.

If it is said that when Su Xiao's stamina attribute was 100 points, drinking the Ancient Secret Medicine only took 2–3 seconds to achieve the maximum recovery effect, then now it takes at least 12–23 seconds to achieve the maximum recovery effect.

It is precisely for this reason that Su Xiao will not risk drinking the Ancient Secret Medicine when fighting a strong enemy. The recovery speed is too slow. It takes 23 seconds to achieve the maximum recovery effect. Once the enemy seizes the opportunity, Su Xiao could die at the enemy's hands in less than 10 seconds, let alone 23 seconds.

【Cherry Wind Wine】 is a good life-saving thing. After drinking it during combat, it immediately restores 100% health/mana, and it can be drunk three times in total.

And when not in combat, drinking 【Cherry Wind Wine】 in one go can permanently increase 2500 health, 1100 mana, 2 points of real strength attribute, and 3 points of real agility attribute.

Just the attribute increase is equivalent to about one-third of the attribute points obtained by Su Xiao in an S-comprehensive evaluation.

What's more, it can also increase 2500 health and 1100 mana.

Whether to use it as a recovery item or drink it all at once to permanently increase attributes, there is no need to choose.

Tearing off the jar seal, Su Xiao drank the Cherry Wind Wine in a few gulps. It was slightly spicy at first, and after drinking, there was a faint sweetness.

"Ha~"

Su Xiao exhaled a breath of wine. The improvement effect was very gentle. His body was gradually becoming stronger, and after a few hours, the improvement would be completely finished.

Those two old guys were very generous. Looking at the empty wooden jar in his hand, Su Xiao even wanted to catch Shangyue back again. Ordinary enemies only drop treasure chests upon being killed, while Shangyue belongs to a "special individual" that can be reused. Catch her once, and you can get some good things.

Su Xiao just wanted to stand up, feeling slightly drunk. 【Cherry Wind Wine】 didn't feel very strong when drinking, but after a while, it was clearly a bit heady. ===== CHAPTER 2242 =====
