LWGP - Chapter 226
Chapter 226: Hijacking the Kill
Wang Jiu pondered for a moment, noticing four streams of light shooting down from the main ship next to them.
Those four experts had left the ship. They were going to kill the Matriarch BOSS. Did that mean only one was left behind to protect that Young Prince?
Plus a Saling.
This strategy was a bit sloppy.
Wang Jiu was thoughtful, but she quickly formed a plan.
A race like the Zerg had occupied an entire planet. Its lair was bound to contain a large amount of energy ore, and she needed energy right now.
So…
Wang Jiu asked the young man a question: "If you were injured or died in the line of duty while participating in this battle, would your great Emperor and the Emperor's cub give you some sort of work-injury compensation or condolence payment?"
The young man was stunned for a second. The moment the green threads caressed his eyeballs, he answered without thinking, "Oh, that's a certainty. As long as it's not a heroic sacrifice, I am willing to contribute everything I have to my empire. If I were to unfortunately die, the life origin core back at headquarters would sense my death. Of course, I am also willing to do so for a beautiful goddess like you… Ah!"
With a muffled grunt, he was knocked unconscious.
"Quite clever, knowing to threaten me with the life origin core."
Then, the small spaceship controlled by the goddess was "accidentally" hit on its edge by a fireball spat out by a sand worm. The ship tilted and plummeted straight down…
Beneath the lake near the matriarchal nest, Wang Jiu exited the vessel. As she swam upwards, she turned invisible the moment she broke the surface. Then, after approaching the nest, she disguised herself as a sand worm.
The System still couldn't hold back.
"I'm just saying, when it comes to disguises, it's always rats, cockroaches, or sand worms. When are you going to turn into a creature with a bit more class?"
Wang Jiu: "The Old Demon of Black Mountain, Kayako, Sadako. You want them?"
System: "…"
Never mind then.
So you do know your own nicknames.
Lao Wang the sand worm blended into the swarm of sand worms. She didn't go too far. While the other sand worms were frantically pouring out to fight the fleet, she found a remote corner and quickly consumed resources to recover and enhance her strength.
Meanwhile, on the main ship, the Young Prince was in the main cabin watching the fierce battle below when suddenly, a loud bang came from the outer protective doors, and the red warning lights flashed.
Someone in the fleet had rebelled and was now storming the main cabin.
The Young Prince's expression changed.
She had used the ten Purple Gold Badges, the two half-legendary badges "Ice Sealed Throne" and "Dragon Seal," and the three Order Book fragments, Cloud Travel Book, Book of Xuanming, and Book of Immortality. She used them all, successfully turning the Cloud Travel Book into a complete version and upgrading the level 2 Book of Immortality to level 3 (upgrading an Order Book requires two copies for each level). This produced three complete Order Books—Ice Sealed, Cloud Travel, and Undead—along with the fragmented Book of Xuanming.
Ice Sealed belonged to the Light Order system. Wang Jiu had originally planned to trade it for a complete Undead or Evil Order book, but the spacetime tunnel had been incredibly perilous. To save her own life, she had no choice but to use it. She didn't regret it now, though, because the Fourth Spacetime was too strong. To survive, she had to use every resource available. As for exchanging for a complete Order Book, even a king like Qing He would probably need a significant amount of time. Wang Jiu couldn't wait.
Xuanming at level 0.5, Cloud Travel at level 1, Ice Sealed at level 1, and Undead at level 3—this was Wang Jiu's current Order Book situation, which also represented her top-tier soft power.
As for her hard power, that came from activating and strengthening her badges.
After frantically pouring in strengthening resources, Wang Jiu's average attributes had been pushed to a crazy 110,000, and this was without even touching the resources worth approximately 5.2 million goblin shop points.
Badges truly were the royal road to increasing average attributes.
System: "You're not planning to use them? Oh, saving them for your Old Lady?"
What's the point of asking the obvious?
Wang Jiu didn't respond. She checked her current stats. Her Spirit Power was at 120,000, average attributes at 110,000, and HP at 9,000. Not to mention her other secondary attributes; her critical damage had reached 3,500%, and secondary stats like armor penetration, immunity, and damage increase had all skyrocketed several times over.
She then confirmed the reward for participating in the Sichuan Undead war, which she hadn't let the system settle before.
Although she wasn't the leader of the Bashu Territory, the main force in the Sichuan Undead war, the System's eyes were sharp and its judgment was quite fair. It gave Wang Jiu one reward.
Yes, just one.
It was the stingiest participation reward in history in terms of quantity, yet Wang Jiu felt the System was being quite generous.
"This thing isn't above my level?"
The System rolled its eyes. "You've already surpassed your level, so you won't allow the System to do the same? But speaking of which, you should thank that Black Witch Organization."
Wang Jiu smiled. "I should thank them, but the System is also considerate. Did you see that I was dabbling in bloodlines and specifically send me this Witch-style Blood Fusion Seal?"
It was a half-step legendary special item that could assist her in absorbing blood.
Right, she had two drops of blood on hand, but she still had no method for using them, as they looked very dangerous.
Song Yin didn't say, but absorbing that Xuanming blood must have come at a great price.
And the Frost Bone Dragon King only managed to condense a single drop of blood from its massive draconic body due to its innate bloodline. One could imagine how precious they were.
The Witch-style Blood Fusion Seal was a godsend. As far as she knew, the goblin shop didn't seem to sell it, which meant it was extremely precious and out of stock even there.
System: "It probably sensed that your essence is well-suited for blood-sucking."
Oh ho, throwing shade at me?
Wang Jiu raised an eyebrow and used her insight to check on the situation with the four experts fighting the Matriarch BOSS. Of course, with the enhancement from her basic Order Books, her Demon's Eye could now penetrate more than a dozen nest walls to see the Matriarch BOSS directly.
She was somewhat astonished. The level 65 Sand Worm Matriarch's average attributes were actually 180,000.
"They're all half-step legendary, so why such a huge gap? Is it because of the level?"
System: "It's because of its genes. It should have evolved several times."
Wang Jiu: "For example, by eating humans to evolve? Do all sand worms possess this kind of talent?"
She had seen a lot of excrement along the way, and some of it faintly showed remnants of human skeletons. Clearly, many people had been swallowed alive.
System: "Something like that, but the evolutionary frequency of the entire race is far lower than the Matriarch's. Their digestion and conversion rate of bloodlines is insufficient. Some are even too weak to withstand the blood of high-level players. The Witch-style Blood Fusion Seal you obtained is for improving this aspect, and it can also reduce the possibility of backlash."
Wang Jiu was examining it, only to find that it was incomplete.
System: "The complete version is legendary. Getting an incomplete one is already pretty good. This thing isn't a wholesale product; it's unique, a legacy item with some history. It's incomplete because it was shattered. But you can obtain the complete version through special channels, depending on whether you have the capital and opportunity. But you should be down-to-earth. The incomplete one is enough for you. You're only level fifty-three. You want to fly before you can even run?"
In short—it required connections and burning money.
"You talk it up so much. If I use both drops of blood at once and suffer a backlash, I can sue you, right?"
System: "???"
Wang Jiu wasted no more time and consumed both drops of blood at once.
The System was speechless, silently cursing Lao Wang for being shameless, but it didn't say anything more. Based on its understanding of Lao Wang's constitution and the Witch-style Blood Fusion Seal, she could handle these two drops of blood.
The only question was how much time it would take.
Speaking of which, those four blockheads over there were fighting so hard. Thinking of a certain possibility, the System revealed an elegant yet sleazy smile.
Waiting for Lao Wang to hijack the kill?
The main ship was a scene of slaughter, but it took half an hour to stabilize the situation. The captured rebels looked at Saling and the black-robed person beside her in disbelief, gritting their teeth. "I never thought, I never thought a Chief Medical Officer would have a king-level expert hidden by her side. His Majesty truly dotes on his son."
Saling was about to say, is there something wrong with your brain? What father doesn't dote on his son, especially his only son?
But then, a certain Young Prince, having come to his senses after the tables turned, immediately undermined her. "He's just afraid that if I die, people will force him to marry a wife and have more kids! He just loves messing around, with mistresses flying all over the place, flirting with anyone convenient without taking responsibility. That's why he doesn't want another Empress to manage him. You stop spouting nonsense!"
Saling: "…"
I feel personally attacked. Thank you, Young Prince, for not naming names.
The rebel didn't get a chance to say much more, because the black-robed figure had already pulled down his hood, revealing a cold, scarred face. He glanced at the rebel. "Those who speak nonsense and slander His Majesty shall die!"
And with that, the rebel was executed.
The Young Prince: "…"
I suspect you're throwing shade at me too, esteemed General Feng Liao.
Saling and Feng Liao paid no mind to this idiotic Young Prince. "Liao Guang and the other three just sent a message. That Matriarch is exceptionally formidable. They're afraid they'll need some time to take it down."
Feng Liao shook his head. "This group of rebels are just pawns. There's someone else behind them. If we linger here too long, the forces deployed by the other party might see an opportunity to attack again, threatening His Highness's safety. Even with me here, I fear I won't be able to fend off a swarm of enemies. It would be disastrous if I failed to protect him. I will go down and end this. We leave immediately after cleaning up."
The dignified crown prince of the empire leading a fleet to exterminate the Zerg—if they were to give up halfway, it would be bad for the prince's reputation. Even though he was still young, too many people were watching.
Moreover, their Emperor was always cold and strict and would certainly hold them accountable.
Saling thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Then, Feng Liao bowed to the Young Prince, requesting permission to descend.
The Young Prince: "If I said no, would you not go?"
You don't listen to me at all, so why even bother asking?
Feng Liao: "Rest assured, Your Highness. I will be right back."
Then he flew down.
The Young Prince puffed out his cheeks, both angry and helpless.
These confidants of his father were all so annoying!
And one minute prior, Wang Jiu had just finished absorbing the two drops of blood. She glanced at her attributes, which had skyrocketed to an average of 150,000, and was shocked by the terrifying power of those two drops. She also suddenly understood why those high-bloodline races had such high average attributes—it was because their base was high, and their high bloodline allowed them to evolve by devouring other bloodlines.
Clearly, the Black Witches had already begun to master this path. A single drop of Xuanming blood was used on a Holy Son like Song Yin, so what about the others?
And if the Black Witch Organization was like this, what about the Fourth Spacetime and the other spacetimes?
Wang Jiu grew vigilant, but she immediately went out, teleporting and flashing, activating all four of her Order Books.
Darkness, evil, undeath, mixed with the bone-chilling cold of ice. The moment this extreme aura appeared, the four imperial experts with average attributes over 100,000 were terrified. They watched in horror as the blood was drained from their bodies. The Matriarch, which they had worn down to 30% HP, had its health bar instantly wiped out in a sudden critical bombardment and collapsed with a thud. The four of them, who had tried to flee and send a distress signal, were all entangled by green threads and stuffed into a cage.
She wanted to kill the four of them, but she was wary of the empire behind them, which likely had an unknown number of king-level experts. As a newcomer, being too arrogant could get her struck by lightning. And murder was the hardest grudge to resolve. She had to control her force.
Wang Jiu had hijacked the kill and taken hostages; she never intended to waste time. Moreover, she sensed an aura from above… someone was coming!
Good thing she had already changed into another face and form.
The other party also sensed Wang Jiu and struck with lightning speed, instantly locking down the entire nest.
A great expert!
His average attributes were over 200,000, and it seemed he wasn't even wearing mecha.
Where did he come from? Did Saling give birth to him in a second?
If I had known, I would have just killed those four and run!
This Fourth Spacetime is a bit toxic.
