Chapter 24

Broken Glass Escapes By Itself

Tian Xing was dead!?

Although they often saw players die, some people felt that the death of these players was a distant thing.

Tian Xing was one of them!

Although he was not in the top 20 of the Leaderboard, he was still the vice hall master of the White Tiger Hall of the Feng Ling Dynasty. He was still in the top 100.

The nation had two billion people. Excluding those who did not enter, there were still more than one billion players! It was already very impressive to be ranked in the top few hundred among the one billion players.

However, such a person had been killed… and by the same person twice in a row.

“Holy sh*t! Tian Xing is really dead! F*ck!”

“Although it’s normal to die, who would have thought that he would die in the starter village? He could only have died at the hands of a powerful monster. He was actually killed in the starter village.”

“But it’s over for Bai Ye. He killed the White Tiger Hall’s Vice Hall Master. This grudge has been formed with Feng Ling Dynasty. There are not many members in the starter village right now. Once he leaves the starter village, there will be members of the Feng Ling Dynasty wherever there are players. They might be able to gather tens of thousands of people in an hour. He won’t be able to play in the future.”

“…”

“Phew… Phew…”

After Old Dream Tian Yu left, he sat down, panting heavily.

He was so close to death just now.

Fortunately, he had the Space Scroll from The World that allowed him to travel anywhere within a thousand meters. Otherwise, he would have been a corpse by now.

However…

When Old Dream Tian Yu thought of Feng Ling, he gulped.

He glanced at the message from his friend.

“Tian Xing was killed.”

His pupils dilated.

That Bai Ye really dared to kill the core members of the Feng Ling Dynasty?

Following that, Old Dream Tian Yu used his communicator to call Feng Ling.

“How was it?” Feng Ling asked instantly after picking up the call.

He thought that there should be no problem.

“President, Tian Xing is dead,” Old Dream Tian Yu said.

“I asked you if Bai Ye is dead.”

Feng Ling did not seem to care about the life and death of his people.

“No… we failed.”

“F*ck! Trash!” Feng Ling cursed.

“President, Bai Ye’s pet seems to have a skill that can dispel control effects. Originally, Bai Ye was already stunned, and killing him was a matter of time, but… Who would have thought that a Grade 7 pet in the Starter Village could dispel control effects? It dispelled a Divine Emperor-level scroll.”

Feng Ling clenched his fists.

“President, you really can’t blame me for this. No one expected such a situation to happen.”

Feng Ling took a deep breath and asked, “Where’s the Blazing Fire Scroll? It can’t kill him either?”

“Blazing Fire Scroll… There was no time to use it at all. I couldn’t even take it out. President, I only have 150 HP left. I need to watch out or I’ll get killed by him,” Old Dream Tian Yu said sadly.

“150 HP? What nonsense is this? Can he take out 150 HP in one hit?”

“He took 300 HP in one hit.”

Feng Ling, “…”

F*ck! Why?!

“Phew—”

Feng Ling took a deep breath.

“Trash! If you can’t kill Bai Ye, you can forget about being the White Tiger Hall’s Hall Master.”

Feng Ling hung up.

…

On the other side, Chu Bai carried Lil Xue’er on his shoulder and continued deeper into the Flame Valley.

“Lil Xue’er, here.”

Chu Bai handed a meat bun to Lil Xue’er.

“Woo—”

Lil Xue’er cried out happily and sat on Chu Bai’s shoulder. The two little paws in front of her held the meat buns as she ate happily.

She was too cute. This little fox was too cute. Even a man like Chu Bai found her adorable.

It was all thanks to Lil Xue’er that he was able to survive this time.

Moreover, Chu Bai could not understand why Lil Xue’er’s favorability toward him was 90 points when she first recognized him as her master.

Ordinary pets would only have a favorability of about 60 after they recognized their master. If it was below a certain level, the pet would leave the master-servant contract.

This was also the only way to terminate the master-servant relationship other than the death of the pet.

“Eat more. There’s still more after you’re done eating,” Chu Bai said with a smile.

“Woo—”

...

Lil Xue’er kissed Chu Bai’s neck.

Chu Bai smiled and carried her on his shoulder.

“Scorching Sun Flower, a spirit herb that lives in a scorching place. The entire Flame Valley is suitable for the growth of the Scorching Sun Flower, but you have to find a place where the sun can’t shine.”

Chu Bai muttered to himself.

The plant lived in a hot area, but no sunlight could shine on it. This was the environment where the Scorching Sun Flower grew.

In front of him, the monsters had generally reached Level 8, which was nothing to Chu Bai.

“Woo—”

At this moment, Lil Xue’er kept calling out to Chu Bai.

“Hmm? Is something there?”

Chu Bai turned his head and glanced at Lil Xue’er on his shoulder.

“Woo—”

...

Lil Xue’er jumped down from Chu Bai’s shoulder and ran forward.

“Wait for me, Xue’er.”

Chu Bai chased after her.

After running for a while, Lil Xue’er turned her head to check on Chu Bai’s position before continuing to run forward.

“Did Lil Xue’er discover the Scorching Sun Flower?”

Soon, Lil Xue’er brought Chu Bai to a cave.

In the pitch-black and scorching cave, a fiery red flower grew in a corner.

Chu Bai looked over.

“Scorching Sun Flower!”

Chu Bai revealed a pleasantly surprised expression and quickly walked over.

[Scorching Sun Flower]: Grade: Demon, a spiritual medicine that grows in hot areas. It has very magical effects.

“Woo—”

Lil Xue’er was still calling out to Chu Bai non-stop.

“Yes?”

When Chu Bai saw that Lil Xue’er was about to continue walking into the cave, he frowned.

“Didn’t you bring me here for the Scorching Sun Flower?”

Lil Xue’er nodded.

“Wait for me. I’ll collect the Scorching Sun Flower first.”

Chu Bai squatted beside the Scorching Sun Flower and cast Gather.

“Ding… Gathering failed. Gathering proficiency increased.”

“Ding… Gathering failed. Gathering proficiency increased.”

“Ding… Your Gathering skill has been upgraded to Level 2.”

Previously, he had used Gathering many times to collect the [Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor’s Eggs], so there was nothing unusual with it upgrading to Level 2.

Gathering Skill: Basic Class Skills for Players. Can be used to gather plants, items from dead monsters, crystals, and so on. Currently has a 100% chance of successfully collecting Bronze items, a 100% chance of successfully collecting Silver items, a 30% chance of successfully collecting Gold items, a 3% chance of successfully collecting Demon items, a 0.1% chance of successfully collecting Celestial items, a 0.01% chance of collecting Divine Emperor items, and a 0% chance of collecting Super Divine items. No cooldown, no mana consumption. Current Level: 2

Level 1 Gathering had a 1% chance of collecting Demon items. Now, it had improved quite a bit.

“Ding… Gathering failed…”

“Ding… You have successfully collected [Scorching Sun Flower].”

Chu Bai picked up the Scorching Sun Flower and looked at it before putting it into his spatial ring.

This mission was considered completed.

Lil Xue’er was still waiting for Chu Bai.

Seeing that Chu Bai had finished collecting, she called out and ran inside.

“Wait for me.”

Chu Bai hurriedly chased after her.

After Chu Bai chased after her, he saw Lil Xue’er stopping in front of a wall.

“Woo—”

Lil Xue’er called out to Chu Bai.

“What happened?” Chu Bai asked doubtfully.

However, at this moment, the Broken Glass in his interspatial ring flew out on its own.

“What?”

Seeing this scene, Chu Bai was shocked.

He had never seen such a phenomenon before!

The shattered glass shone with seven-colored light and pierced through the wall. At the same time, the entire wall became like water.

“Woo—”

Lil Xue’er looked at Chu Bai and called out, then jumped in.

“Lil Xue’er.”

Chu Bai shouted and found that Lil Xue’er had passed through the wall and disappeared from his sight.

Chu Bai did not hesitate and instantly stepped in.

The moment he stepped in, he felt that he had lost his footing.

He was falling!
