Chapter 71: Phantom Good Brother, Grandpa Has Arrived!

Now Su Hao's mental power has reached the level of a Supernatural Second Rank, and the consumption of using the Item Appraisal Technique is almost unable to keep up with the speed of automatic mental recovery.

Even if he uses the Item Appraisal Technique continuously for a whole day, he doesn't get tired.

Thus, after entering the underground tomb, Su Hao used the Item Appraisal Technique on everything he could see around him.

Then this scene appeared: Su Hao would sometimes tear down the walls, sometimes pry up the floor tiles.

Floor tiles made of first-rank limestone boulders? Pry them away!

First-rank phosphorescent lamps? Tear them down!

First-rank rotting furniture? Take them away!

……

As long as it was a supernatural item, Su Hao left none behind.

Although these things can't compare to those in Andrew Grandpa's house, they are at least supernatural items—how could they be left here?

In this way, Su Hao walked and stopped, from the entrance of the underground tomb all the way to in front of its final chamber, tearing things apart along the way.

Just like a locust swarm passing through, this underground tomb was almost torn apart by Su Hao into a wasteland.

Even now, having reached the door of the final chamber, Ling Xue'er and the others still occasionally glanced back, their eyes twitching involuntarily.

No, boss, are you doing demolition? You even pried away a brick!

Indeed, there's a reason he could become a boss; ordinary people couldn't carry out exploration this thoroughly.

At that moment, Ling Xue'er's mind flashed with insight, connecting to what Su Hao had said at the entrance, and she looked suddenly enlightened.

It turns out the boss is teaching us what true exploration is.

Indeed, even if these things were truly good stuff, what use would they be to a powerhouse like the boss?

He does this precisely to personally demonstrate to us how to conduct exploration effectively.

This is Boss Su Hao—I'm literally crying!

I will surely not waste the boss's painstaking effort; from now on, no matter what place we explore, we must do as the boss demonstrated—useful or not, take everything we can carry, and what we can't carry…

…then we'll tear it down and take it away!

No, no, the boss's painstaking effort can't be known only by me; I must tell the other members of the God Summer Doomsday Investigation Group so they too can conduct exploration effectively.

Afterwards, Ling Xue'er and Pu Wenyao, etc., exchanged glances, each firmly nodding, obviously they had come to the same conclusion as Ling Xue'er.

Su Hao would never guess how his actions would affect the members of the God Summer Doomsday Investigation Group.

In the near future, the God Summer Doomsday Investigation Group earned the nickname 'God Summer Demolition Team' precisely because of Su Hao.

At the same time, Su Hao's action also preliminarily influenced the future direction; at least in his memory, the God Summer Doomsday Investigation Group had no such title.

But Su Hao didn't know any of this; at that moment, he saw, above the altar in the final chamber, a semi-transparent figure in a black robe, whose face showed a brilliant smile.

"Hahaha, phantom good brother, Grandpa has arrived!!"

Su Hao laughed loudly, took out a Flame Fire Dragon Fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.

Hearing this, Ling Xue'er and the others were slightly stunned, their admiration for Su Hao increasing a bit.

Who would have thought this second-rank undead was actually the boss's good brother—his connections are too vast!

However, Su Hao's subsequent performance left them somewhat speechless.

No, boss, isn't this damaging your expert image?

Only saw Su Hao stuff the Flame Fire Dragon Fruit into his mouth, chew it haphazardly a few times, and just as he was about to swallow, his face slightly changed, his Adam's apple twitched twice, he stretched his neck, and forcibly stopped the swallowing motion.

Afterwards, they chewed a few more times, took out an empty plastic bottle, and, like becoming a pea‑machine‑gun shooter, spat out all the seeds of the Flame Fire Dragon Fruit.

"Whoosh——!"

"Phew, phew, I almost swallowed the seeds too!"

Su Hao took a long breath; if he had really swallowed the seeds, then to plant them he'd have to rely on pulling them out…

"Whooo——!"

As Su Hao spat out the seeds and swallowed the flesh, he immediately felt his mental power and physique receive a noticeable boost.

Around his body, within that thick layer of blood‑qi, blazing flames erupted.

Merely standing beside Su Hao, Ling Xue'er and the others could all feel a wave of heat approaching.

How terrifying! The boss eating just a fruit can produce such a change.

Indeed, the boss's earlier actions were precisely to personally demonstrate to us what true exploration is.

Ling Xue'er and the others exchanged glances, solidifying their earlier idea even more.

"Step back a bit!"

Su Hao didn't pay attention to Ling Xue'er and the others' own brain‑filling; after telling them one sentence to avoid friendly fire, he strode into the room.

"Intruders, die!"

As Su Hao stepped over the threshold and entered this burial chamber, the phantom above the altar 'whoosh'‑ed up from the central chair, his eyes flashing a cold, eerie light.

Subsequently, his right hand slightly opened, and that red book floated above his palm, automatically turning its pages, preparing to attack Su Hao.

However, Su Hao's move was a step faster than his.

At the moment the phantom rose, Su Hao extended his right hand and, with a 'snap', lightly flicked his fingers.

"Scarlet Touch!"

Over the past day or so, Su Hao used Scarlet Touch dozens of times, and by yesterday evening his proficiency had risen to mastery.

Although the casting speed isn't instant, it's not much slower than the original Blood Whip Technique.

Moreover, when the Blood Whip Technique reaches mastery, the summoned scarlet tentacles are no longer just three.

The next moment.

Above the altar, on the ground around the phantom, suddenly five pools of blood appeared.

Five tentacles, each over thirty centimeters in diameter and about three meters long, entirely made of fresh red blood, stretched out from those five blood pools on the ground.

As the ghost had just begun to prepare magic, Su Hao struck at it with lightning speed, whipping it violently.

Even though the ghost was a spiritual being without a physical form, after being struck by those tentacles its body visibly trembled and its face showed a pained expression.

But it wasn't over yet; after the five crimson tentacles whipped the ghost, they didn't cease their assault but instead tightly coiled around his body.

Su Hao's mental strength now is not inferior to that of a Supernatural Second Rank.

Moreover, the Crimson Touch is inherently a Supernatural Second Rank skill gained through synthesis; it has reached mastery and also works against spiritual bodies.

Even though the ghost on the altar is a Supernatural Second Rank monster, it cannot easily break free from the five crimson tentacles' hold in a short time.

Ling Xue'er: ．．．

Pu Wenyao: ．．．

Ah? No, boss, is this how you greet your good brother?

Just a moment ago, Ling Xue'er and the others were still thinking Su Hao had wide connections, even knowing Supernatural Second Rank undead creatures.

But the next moment, Su Hao bound his so-called "good brother" and beat him up.

Ling Xue'er and the others' expressions changed, but Su Hao didn't notice; after releasing the Crimson Touch, he continued to mobilize his mental power, communicating with the Blood Flame Technique runes in his mind, preparing his second skill.

Even though the ghost good brother is a Supernatural Second Rank being, relying solely on the Crimson Touch it cannot kill him quickly; if the delay drags on, something might go wrong.

As the Crimson Touch continued to coil and tighten, the ghost's expression grew ever more painful.

But after all, this is a Supernatural Second Rank being; how could it just sit and wait for death?
