Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 77 A Blessing of Luck

The golden-feathered halberd drew an arc in the air and swiftly stabbed towards the nine-tailed celestial fox.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox seemed to sense something, and its spiritual power suddenly erupted, attempting to stop the battle halberd.

However, the halberd was too fast. Even though the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox used all its skills, it still failed to stop the halberd. Its body was pierced through by the halberd, which seemed to carry the power to destroy the world.

The halberd pierced the nine-tailed celestial fox's hind leg, and the enormous impact pinned it firmly to the ground.

"Aww!"

The nine-tailed celestial fox let out a painful howl, struggling to raise its head and look at Jiang Lan, who had arrived not far ahead.

It wanted to fight to the death, but it knew that in its current state, it was no match for Jiang Lan.

Even at its peak, it couldn't withstand a single blow from this human. Now, severely injured, the possibility of defeating this human is, if not nonexistent, extremely slim.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox stared at Jiang Lan, her eyes filled with a hint of pleading.

It struggled to speak, "Humans...humans...let me go..."

A look of surprise flashed in Jiang Lan's eyes.

It can talk?

However, he didn't wonder for long. Normally, once a monster reaches the Lord level, its intelligence is basically equivalent to that of a human. However, due to the structure of its vocal cords, some monsters can speak while others cannot.

Once they reach the planetary level, which corresponds to the king level of monsters, their life level will evolve. Simply speaking is not difficult for king-level monsters.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, in particular, is among the best of its kind in terms of both intelligence and mental strength. It's not surprising that it has intelligence and can talk.

Jiang Lan's expression flickered slightly, then her face turned cold again.

Releasing the nine-tailed celestial fox is impossible.

How could he possibly let go of the first King-level monster he encountered just because of a few words from the other party?

Seeing that Jiang Lan's expression had turned cold, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox roughly understood what Jiang Lan was thinking.

However, its survival instinct prevented it from turning hostile. Instead, it spoke again, pleading with Jiang Lan, "I have... a treasure... for you! Let me go!"

Jiang Lan shook her head expressionlessly.

He was indeed a little curious about the treasure the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox had mentioned.

But I was just a little curious.

Jiang Lan knew clearly that, for him, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was the most important treasure.

Sensing Jiang Lan's resolute killing intent, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox knew that no matter how much it pleaded, it would be of no use.

It endured the pain coursing through its body and said sternly:

"Do you want to break the contract? Kill me, and the others of our kind will avenge me!"

Hong did indeed sign contracts with all the king-level and above monsters on Earth, but the contracts were signed by Hong, so what does it have to do with Jiang Lan?

Besides, even if the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox dies here, no other King-level monster could possibly see it, and even if they searched, they wouldn't be able to find it on Jiang Lan.

If we find it, that would be even better.

Jiang Lan was worried about not having any king-level monsters to sacrifice to.

"Then I'll wait."

After saying that, Jiang Lan's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, and the next moment he appeared directly beside the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

Jiang Lan flicked his wrist, and a dagger about twenty centimeters long appeared in his hand.

"laugh!"

Although the dagger was simply forged from Kro alloy, in Jiang Lan's hands it was like a divine weapon, effortlessly piercing through the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's eye socket and deeply embedding itself in its skull.

"Aww!"

The nine-tailed celestial fox's body suddenly convulsed as it struggled to remove the dagger embedded in its eye socket.

However, because its entire lower body was pinned to the ground by the Golden Feather Halberd, no matter how much it struggled, it was all in vain.

Jiang Lan hardened her heart and twisted her wrist sharply, causing the dagger to spin and churn inside the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's brain.

The nine-tailed celestial fox's body convulsed even more violently.

But this was just the body's instinctive reaction before death.

A dozen seconds later, the convulsions of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's body abruptly stopped, and it froze in place, completely silent.

Thus, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, who was at the same planetary level as Jiang Lan, didn't even have a chance to put up a decent fight before dying at Jiang Lan's hands.

At the same time, Jiang Lan heard a long-lost mechanical voice again.

[A sacrificial item has been detected: Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox (corpse) *1. Would you like to sacrifice it?]

Sacrifice!

Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

If he were a lord, Jiang Lan would have simply taken down the valuable materials and exchanged them for money.

But this nine-tailed celestial fox was a planetary-level being, and it was the first planet he had killed.

If Jiang Lan were to sell the body, wouldn't he be out of his mind?

[Sacrifice successful. Host has obtained 1 Spirit Concentration Pill (Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox) and the manual "Mental Impact".]

Jiang Lan's eyes lit up.

What incredible luck!

However, the joy on his face quickly faded.

The system's method of naming the cheat codes remains as simple and straightforward as ever.

Mental shock, as the name suggests, is aimed at the mind.

The problem is that Jiang Lan is not a mentalist and has no mental energy at all.

So, what kind of impact did he use?

A fist?

Strike your opponent's head with a fist the size of a sandbag to shock them mentally.

reasonable.

Jiang Lan squinted her eyes, as if she had suddenly remembered something.

The system just mentioned something that didn't seem to be about Body Tempering Pills?

Concentration Pill!

With a thought, Jiang Lan opened her system inventory and saw a blue, round pill lying in one of the compartments.

With a flick of his wrist, the pill appeared in Jiang Lan's hand.

He looked closely at the pill; it did seem quite different from the previous Body Tempering Pill.

The previous Body Tempering Pills were colorless and transparent, made of a glass-like material, through which you could see miniature monster patterns.

However, this Concentration Pill, although the latter two are the same as the Body Tempering Pill, has a crystal blue appearance and reflects a mysterious luster under sunlight.

If I sacrifice a monster that is above the apprentice level, will I no longer receive a Body Tempering Pill?

Jiang Lan shook his head. Not necessarily. He had only killed one king-level monster so far, and it was too early to draw conclusions.

However, since they are all pills, the effect of this Mind-Concentrating Pill shouldn't be too weak.

He pinched the pill and put it in his mouth. As soon as it entered his mouth, the pill turned into a warm current and flowed down Jiang Lan's throat.

After entering his body, the warm current did not enter his dantian as usual, but instead flowed slowly upwards, heading towards Jiang Lan's sea of ​​consciousness.

Jiang Lan seemed to vaguely understand something.

The most likely effect of this Concentration Pill is to enhance his mental abilities.

But can this one pill really make him a mentalist?
