I'm not just human!

Seemingly because Xia Fa didn't even possess the aura of an Outer God, this Mystic Star Spirit, clad in light purple-black armor yet possessing unbelievable power approaching the level of "Laws," completely disdained to kill him, instead choosing the second weakest of the three Outer Gods, the [Philosophy Pencil].

Just as its giant sword was about to strike again, the [Philosophy Pencil] seemed to be enveloped by the immense force of that law-level power, unable to move at all, just like the [Dense White Dwarf].

when--!

But the next instant, a crisp, loud sound rang out, as if the greatsword had struck metal.

A golden coffin was placed inside, trapping the "Philosophy Pencil" inside. The giant sword struck the coffin lid.

Although the golden coffin lid was deeply dented and almost broke, it was ultimately not broken.

The figure of a fanatical tomb raider appeared beside the coffin, a pickaxe in his left hand and a treasure-hunting compass in his right. His feet were planted on the three astrological directions of "Da Pi", "Shen Nie", and "Xie Gong", and his gaze was fixed on the mysterious star spirit who looked like a priest.

boom!!!

The next instant, a dense aura of death surged from the three star directions and rose from the body of the fanatical tomb raider. His strength instantly surpassed the peak of the Outer God and approached that of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable!

Although it is still some distance from being a true Quasi-Celestial Venerable, its power has already subtly surpassed that of the Mysterious Star Spirit!

The priest-like spirit star gave the fanatical tomb raider a deep look, then turned around, stepped into the void, and disappeared.

"call--"

Xia Fa breathed a long sigh of relief. For a moment just now, he even thought that the Mystic Star Spirit was going to wipe everyone out, or that only the physical form of the fanatical tomb raider might survive.

Fortunately, the fanatical tomb raider, being a physical entity, was indeed quite powerful, and actually managed to drive away the Mystic Star Spirit.

"Da Pi," "Shen Nie," and "Xie Gong" are the three major astrological directions that govern death penalty, corpse transformation, and evil creatures. In a sense, when a fanatical tomb raider sets foot in these three directions, it is almost equivalent to going all out.

The Crimson Demon Tree emerged from the black flesh wall, wiping the sweat from its brow with its vine-like branches. Its sweat was actually blue, like tree sap.

"Damn it, what was that thing just now? How could it be so terrifying?"

The Philosophy Pencil also emerged from the golden coffin. The pencil itself had turned a striking white from its dark brown color, and the words on the book that had replaced its head had vanished in fright. It exhaled a breath of stale air, weary from its recent brush with death.

"That must be the Mystic Spirit that the Frenzied Tomb Raider mentioned, right? I just didn't expect it to be so powerful..."

The fanatical tomb raider then withdrew his imposing aura and nodded:

"Yes, I think I guessed wrong about its origin..."

Actually, even without the enthusiastic tomb raiders mentioning it, everyone knows that this Mystic Spirit is no ordinary creature.

That single strike from the giant sword shattered the combined defense of three Outer Gods and effortlessly killed the [Dense White Dwarf]!

This level of strength is far beyond the level of an Outer God; it's almost on par with a Quasi-Celestial Venerable!

Remembering the [Dense White Dwarf], everyone then looked at the nearly shattered, fleshy floor of the tomb.

Where the giant sword struck, a deep crater of flesh and blood was smashed into it!

If this weren't the tomb of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable, which had been reinforced by that Quasi-Celestial Venerable himself, then that attack alone would have been enough to overwhelm an entire star system!

"Ugh……"

The Crimson Tree sighed deeply. Although it wasn't close to the Dense White Dwarf, seeing Him killed still made it feel a sense of shared sorrow.

[Philosophy Pencil] is slightly better, perhaps because it has a scholarly temperament and is more calm in the face of problems, or perhaps because it is not very familiar with [Dense White Dwarf], which leads it to analyze things more:

"From this perspective, He must be an Outer God formed from six Star Gates and a white dwarf star, right?"

The avid tomb raider nodded:

"Yes, many dense star clusters are like this. Either the white dwarf star developed intelligence over time and then gathered enough Stargates while wandering in the Protoss Realm, or one of the Stargates became active, gathered the other Stargates, and then merged into the body of this white dwarf star."

Xia Fa was stunned. Could one really achieve the status of an Outer God in this way?

However, he also knew that compared to the orthodox path to godhood, which involved a hundred secret contracts and three eternal credentials, this [Dense White Dwarf] path, while making it easier to achieve the status of an Outer God, would likely be impossible to advance any further in this lifetime.

After a moment of silence, they erected an inscription for the [Dense White Dwarf] in the oval-shaped tomb chamber, which was personally written by [Philosophy Pencil].

Then, with tears in his eyes, he divided the six Gates of the Stars. Since the fanatical tomb raider said he didn't need any, Xia Fa, [Crimson Tree], and [Philosophy Pencil] each got two.

Perhaps because of the death of the [Dense White Dwarf], everyone felt an immense sense of crisis for no apparent reason. At this moment, they truly realized the dangers within this quasi-celestial tomb.

If they're not careful, one of them might be the next to die.

"This Star Spirit is indeed mindless; it only knows how to possess. Those evil spirits and monsters were almost scared away by the [Absolute Attack] little brother, but they came back and attacked us instead. They must have sensed the approach of this Star Spirit and been influenced by it."

[Philosophy Pencil] analyzed the situation just now. As an unknown being of the "Philosophy Servant" type, it unconsciously took on the role of strategist and advisor in this tomb raiding team.

In fact, Xia Fa could also act as a strategist and advisor, but he knew far too little about the mystical knowledge above the level of gods. Right now, he could only listen to the analysis of [Philosophy Pencil], which was also a form of learning for him.

Then the Philosophy Pencil continued:

"Because it possessed the strange flesh and blood of the people we killed, it became naturally filled with hatred for us, which is why it attacked us recklessly. But because it possessed the strange flesh and blood, it also acquired the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, which is why it was able to be driven away by the fanatical tomb raider."

The avid tomb raider nodded:

"Possession spirits are usually unconscious. It's a pity that our team didn't sign a contract with the Star Spirit Master. Otherwise, it would definitely have chosen to possess the Star Spirit Master's contracted person, which would have greatly enhanced our team's strength."

Xia Fa's heart stirred. His next overlord-level secret contract was the [Star Spirit Law Lord]. It was just a pity that he hadn't finished understanding the [Fairy Tale World] yet.

He immediately took the opportunity to enter a meditative state and checked, discovering that after the battle with the strange beings of the Outer God rank, his understanding of the [Fairy Tale World] had progressed to over 30%.

However, there is still a long way to go to reach 100%.

"But why is it so powerful?"

Xia Fa asked curiously, clearly impressed by the power of this Mystic Star Spirit.

Even when the three Outer Gods exerted all their strength, they couldn't withstand a single blow from it, and that was only when it was possessing the shattered flesh and blood of the monsters!

If this were to possess an Outer God who had signed a contract with a Celestial Spirit Lord... I can't even imagine how much it would enhance one's power.

And if it were to possess me... I can't even imagine how much I would improve!

The Philosophy Pencil shook its head:

"I don't know. I used to think that this Secret Star Spirit was a combination of a part of the soul of the tomb owner, that is, this Quasi-Celestial Venerable, and a Star Spirit after his death, but now it seems that this is not the case at all."

Even the most avid tomb raider sighed softly:

“I don’t understand either. Let’s do this: I’ll go and retrieve the treasure, then we’ll rest until your divine powers are fully restored before we set off again.”

After their ordeal, the Crimson Demon Tree and the Philosophy Pencil had exhausted most of their external divine power. Upon hearing this, they immediately agreed, as they couldn't have asked for it more.

Xia Fa didn't expend much divine power, but he still wanted to rest. The oppressive feeling from the mysterious star spirit was too intense, and he needed to slow down.

At the same time, he also began to ponder how he could possibly capture this exceptionally powerful and mysterious Star Spirit.

The avid tomb raider then flashed to the shrine for the second time, and this time he finally took down the black gem box without any hindrance.

A flash of light appeared in His hand, and countless ancient runes emerged, pouring one by one into the black gem box.

The ritual sealing array, which was originally extremely difficult to break and was personally set up by a quasi-celestial being, was easily broken by him. It can only be said that he is indeed an entity related to the rules of "tomb raiding".

With a click, the black gem box opened, revealing a miniature wish wheel lying quietly inside.

"The incomplete ancient treasure is severely incomplete. Because it is made of Absolute Cut Copper, it requires about five pieces of Absolute Cut Copper the size of watermelons to repair. Moreover, even if it is repaired, it is still an incomplete ancient treasure, not complete, but it can be used normally."

The avid tomb raider was not only the "coach" of this tomb raiding team, but also the "expert," judging the value of the wishing wheel with just one glance.

Upon hearing that it was a weapon, Xia Fa immediately lost interest and instead hoped that the Crimson Demon Tree or the Philosophy Pencil would accept it.

After all, this tomb raiding team distributed the spoils fairly. The two of them took the severely damaged ancient treasure, so they could then feel at ease taking the Eternal Token if they could actually find it.

Moreover, this ancient treasure actually requires five watermelon-sized pieces of Absolute Cutting Copper to repair, and even if it's repaired, it will only be a damaged ancient treasure... so he'd be even less willing to take it.

Five watermelon-sized pieces of perfectly cut copper... to find in this era is nothing short of a pipe dream.

He also possesses the complete Rhine Dawn Blade Armor, an ancient treasure, which has a very high compatibility with him. After all, it was personally crafted by the Ancient Ruler [Rhine Calamity], who had signed the Silver Throne, so he doesn't need any other weapons.

The avid tomb raider then turned around, looked at the three men, and asked:

"Who among you needs this? If you take this, and if we manage to successfully enter the main tomb chamber and find the Eternal Token, then we can't take the Eternal Token."

Xia Fa immediately shook his head, indicating that he had no need for it.

[Philosophy Pencil] sighed:

"I was actually missing a weapon-type artifact, but I needed five pieces of absolute-cutting purple copper the size of watermelons..."

Unexpectedly, the Crimson Demon Tree stood up and said excitedly:

"I want it, I want it, you fanatical tomb raider, give it to me! With this, I don't need any other loot!"

His black gem eyes on the tree trunk were practically radiating light, clearly showing his extreme longing for this wish wheel.

The fanatical tomb raider said:

"Are you sure? If we can't gather five absolutely cut copper pieces the size of watermelons, this wish wheel can't even be used."

The Crimson Demon Tree nodded happily:

"Yes, yes, I'm sure. To be honest, since I come from the 'Magic Tree' clan, I can directly integrate this Wish Wheel into my body and use it as a trump card. Although its power is not as great as a complete ancient treasure when activated, it is enough."

The fanatical tomb raider nodded slightly, then tossed the black gem box, along with the wish wheel within, to the Crimson Demon Tree.

The Crimson Demon Tree caught it with both hands, and without even looking at it, pressed it directly onto its tree trunk-like body, merging the black gem box and the wish wheel into it.

Of course, everyone knows that He cannot merge successfully immediately; He is simply keeping it safe for now.

Seeing that the treasures placed in the oval tomb by the Quasi-Celestial Venerable had been retrieved and there was no other danger for the time being, the Crimson Demon Tree immediately plucked tree trunks from its body, piled them into a small bonfire, snapped its fingers, and lit it.

The bonfire immediately dispelled the pervasive sour and putrid smell in the tomb, bringing everyone a rare warmth.

The Crimson Demon Tree swayed its body again, and fruits began to sprout on its trunk with a series of "pops," each one bright red and plump, resembling giant cherries.

He picked it off, ate it himself, and then handed it to everyone.

Xia Fa reached out and took it, without even scanning it with his spiritual intuition, and immediately started biting into it. He wasn't worried about the [Crimson Demon Tree] poisoning it, mainly because he didn't seem like that kind of person at all.

The fanatical tomb raider and [Philosophy Pencil] also took the apple-sized cherry and began to eat it, seemingly enjoying it quite a bit, without a shred of doubt about the [Crimson Demon Tree].

The reason is quite simple: the Crimson Demon Tree has a well-known reputation for being generous and loyal. Even if they had never been separated before, the Crimson Demon Tree would never resort to such underhanded tactics.

As soon as Xia Fa finished his first bite, he felt his divine power slowly recovering as the fruit entered his stomach. Although it couldn't compare to the flesh of the Wall of Flesh and the iced strawberry wine given by Gastis the Giant Axe, the effect was still quite good.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Fa asked curiously:

"It's quite delicious. Is this the extraordinary talent of your Magic Tree clan, Brother [Crimson Demon Tree]?"

The Crimson Demon Tree smiled:

"No, this is the power of the [Eternal Fruit] that I possess. Of course, it is also because I am a member of the Magic Tree clan that I can easily produce this fruit with the effect of restoring divine power."

Xia Fa asked in surprise:
