Chapter 1593: Chapter 937: Backlash_4
Yang Xiao knew that it must be the protective magical artifact on Jiang Qingluan’s body taking effect, that burgundy leather jacket, which fronted the fisherman’s fatal attack.
This was definitely a top-grade magical artifact, its protective ability was perhaps comparable to the armor on the Mirror Ghost, the Yi Sect was indeed willing to spare no expense for Jiang Qingluan.
If not for this protective magical artifact, she would have been killed by the team of East Japan Ninjas during the previous entry into the Secret Realm.
Walking and stopping, everyone was circling around the Secret Realm Core Area, Jiang Qingluan was continuously adjusting the direction, with the snake bone string on her body, Jiang Qingluan could sense the changes in the Secret Realm and thus avoid danger.
After the previous fierce battles, everyone’s food, especially bottled water, had been lost, altogether only one still fairly intact backpack was left, currently on Nalan Shuo’s back.
"I’m so thirsty, I’d be willing to trade one hundred thousand bucks for a can of coke right now." Said the Chamber of Commerce man, propping on a broken tree branch, licking his dry, cracked lips.
"I’ll offer two hundred thousand." Sand Woman, as the man’s companion, unhesitatingly raised the stakes.
"Are you serious?" Upon hearing about the money, Yang Xiao was instantly intrigued.
"Of course."
"What if it was an ice-cold coke, brand new, in a glass bottle?" Yang Xiao asked.
"Two hundred thousand." The Chamber of Commerce man thought Yang Xiao was joking, after all, in this ghostly place, forget coke, even clean water was hard to find.
This is the Secret Realm World, actually, there was no shortage of water sources along the way, but they dared not drink.
"Two hundred thousand, once, anyone further raising the stakes?" Yang Xiao keenly noticed a commercial opportunity, he genuinely had some, stored several dozen boxes inside the Mirror Secret Room, all glass bottles, he’s a man of taste, ever since circumstances improved, he no longer drank from plastic bottles.
"Three hundred thousand, I’ll take whatever you have, and also provide me a straw." Sand Woman joined in the fun, still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
"Are you serious?" Three hundred thousand could buy that old, shabby little apartment Yang Xiao used to rent, and now it’s only worth a bottle of coke.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Shuo said nothing, just quietly smiled under the mask, he knew inside Yang Xiao’s Mirror World there was a secret room, definitely had stock there.
Seeing Yang Xiao’s serious demeanor, unlike joking, the Chamber of Commerce duo was somewhat uncertain, but they were not people lacking money either, after reaching this level, earning money was the easiest thing for them, what they truly lacked were intelligence, background, and magic artifacts truly suitable for them.
Seeing the price was close, Yang Xiao summoned the Soul-Capturing Mirror, disappearing in a flash before everyone’s eyes, at this moment the Chamber of Commerce duo was startled, they forgot Yang Xiao had a space-type magical artifact in his possession.
Arriving at the secret room, pushing open the door, he saw the Mirror Ghost lying on the single bed, virtually unresponsive to his arrival.
The Mirror Ghost was seriously injured, having first killed the Stone Beast, then impersonated Jiang Qingluan to withstand the fisherman’s heart-piercing black light, enduring till now was truly remarkable.
Yang Xiao decided to arrange for the Mirror Ghost to rest and recuperate, at least in the next half month, the Mirror Ghost feared he couldn’t fully recover, once leaving here, he also needed a good rest.
Initially, before leaving, Dean Sheng sternly mentioned him, to be cautious controlling the Mirror Ghost fighting opponents far exceeding its strength, once the Mirror Ghost suffered serious injury, it might lead to issues with the wooden wedge driven into its body, the Mirror Ghost itself is a ghost and also a threat.
Moreover, never to overly squander the Soul-Capturing Mirror, the Mirror Ghost and Soul-Capturing Mirror are united, once the Soul-Capturing Mirror loses control, the Mirror Ghost will also lose control.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiao first inspected the Mirror Ghost’s injuries, it was injured all over, a broken arm and leg, the penetrating abdominal wound was shockingly severe.
Yang Xiao took out the Human Bone Staff cautiously to guard, while his other hand carefully reached into the gaps of the armor, gradually exploring inside, if the Mirror Ghost suddenly changed, he would strike directly with a staff.
After feeling momentarily until he touched the wooden wedge driven into the Mirror Ghost’s body amidst the muddy flesh, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was only at that moment Yang Xiao realized the Mirror Ghost’s injuries were far more severe than he anticipated, its chest had been pierced through.
If it were a person, it would have been long dead by now, but for the Mirror Ghost it was almost the same as a dead man, it could only lie here, waiting for recovery little by little, which would take a long time.
During this period, Yang Xiao couldn’t command the Mirror Ghost to fight anymore.
"Well done, take good care of your injuries, this time you deserve credit." Yang Xiao generously promised, "From now on, we’re brothers, calling each other differently, I’ll call you little brother, you call me dad."
Yang Xiao compassionately helped the Mirror Ghost tidy the disheveled hair on its forehead, then patted its shoulder for encouragement.
The Mirror Ghost remained with that dazed look, staring straight at the ceiling as if its soul had been extracted, feeling like a vegetable.
Yang Xiao no longer hesitated, promptly turned towards the corner, picked up a box of coke, and walked out of the secret room, this box contained 24 bottles, wholesale was less than 50 yuan, but in this Secret Realm, it was worth 720 thousand.
Yang Xiao found the route to wealth, this was simply faster than robbing a bank.
Just as Yang Xiao left, a few seconds after the secret room door closed, the previously lifeless and rigid Mirror Ghost suddenly moved, slowly twisted its head towards the door direction, its eyes mechanical and numb.
Then its mouth seemed to have something wriggling inside, until finally opening wide, revealing a mouth full of teeth like shark fins’ barbs.
Sharp teeth crossed and intertwined, densely packed.
