369: murderer

"Uncle Chen Hean's Storage Ring was taken by someone?"

"Doesn't that mean..."

Chen Jian frowned slightly, and his expression involuntarily turned ugly; the rest of his words were self-evident.

"Could it be that this Song Jingyan had other Sky Soaring Warrior accomplices?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Heping shook his head:

"I investigated before the operation, and on the way here with him, I also probed him indirectly."

"His arrival at the Underground was entirely accidental; he was trying to find the killer who murdered a Martial Artist with potential from their Kapi Alien Race."

"He guessed the killer's strength should be an Advanced Martial Artist. Besides, only one person was traveling with Song Jingyan, and it was precisely because of that person that he discovered the secret of the Egg God's equivalent exchange."

"Hmph!"

Chen Heping snorted at this point. A mere low-class civilization, even the road they came from collapsed, yet they still delusionally wanted to share in our spoils; they truly didn't know how to value their lives.

Thinking about how the other party was bargaining with him on the way here, demanding a temporary price increase or else they wouldn't do the job, Chen Heping found it amusing.

After speaking, he put Song Jingyan's head into a sack, which already contained his body.

"Let's go. We'll take Song Jingyan's corpse to trade first."

"A dead one is only half price. Unless there are two corpses, this half price will be watered down. We can only get one Small Lingkong Pill now."

"Both Hean and I have consumed this resource. Eat this thing in a moment, and you can raise your Rank to Level 22. Then we will go take our revenge!"

"Since the other party could kill Hean, they must be a Sky Soaring Warrior."

Chen Heping said in a deep voice.

Although he was eager for revenge at this moment, he did not lose his composure due to anxiety. He knew Hean's physical condition was poor, but he still wasn't someone an Advanced Martial Artist could kill!

The person who did it was definitely a Sky Soaring Warrior!

And the Rank wouldn't be too high.

He was very confident in the above speculation. Picking this time to act and precisely obtaining the Storage Ring before leaving was definitely the work of some village chief!

"They must have traded for some rare resources from those Surface Alien Race and secretly made a Breakthrough to become Sky Soaring Warriors!"

"Xiao Jian, the killer is likely some village chief. When the time comes, we will strike together!"

"Yes, Godfather!"

Chen Jian replied in a solemn voice.

At this moment, he was standing with his back to Chen Heping, bowing his head respectfully; no one noticed the slight, imperceptible upward curl of his lips.

...

Five seconds later, three small balls of light flew toward Chen Du.

Chen Du reached out to catch them, and upon closer inspection, he discovered they were three blue round beads the size of Maltesers.

"Small Lingkong Pill."

Chen Du recognized this item immediately. Although it was called a pill, it wasn't a product refined by anyone; it just looked like a Medicinal Pill, but in reality, it was a type of fruit.

As for the tree that grew this fruit, it was said that even the Great Civilization didn't have it, and its origin remained a mystery to this day.

Its function was to allow a Sky Soaring Warrior below Level 25 to raise their Rank by 1 level, but if you were Level 24, you couldn't raise it by a full level; you could only raise it by 0.9 levels.

Because Level 25 belonged to the range of an Advanced Aerial Warrior, it didn't fall within the effective range of the Small Lingkong Pill; the limit of the Small Lingkong Pill's capability was Level 24.9.

Where there is small, there is big; there must be a Great Lingkong Pill above the Small Lingkong Pill.

Its function was also to raise the Rank by 1 level, but the difference was that the Great Lingkong Pill could be used by Advanced Aerial Warriors above Level 25. Similarly, its upper limit was Level 29.9.

Whether it was the Small Lingkong Pill or the Great Lingkong Pill, both were considered high-grade goods within the High Martial Civilization.

Only those Sky Soaring Warriors who had a very good chance of reaching Level 25 would be bestowed with a Small Lingkong Pill.

And only a Domain-level Genius like Chen Du would have the opportunity to be bestowed with a Great Lingkong Pill after reaching Level 25.

However, the Great Lingkong Pill was simply too rare; Chen Du estimated that there shouldn't be any in stock within the High Martial Civilization.

He lowered his head to look at the time on his wristband: November 26th, 2:47.

Three days ago, he synthesized one purple devouring grass, and later, while traveling for two days, he synthesized two more. Now, Chen Du had a total of 3 purple devouring grasses in his hands.

They were synthesized on these three days: November 23rd at 00:47, November 24th at 00:47, and November 25th at 00:47.

Because the cooldown time of the golden shovel was 24 hours, Chen Du didn't want to waste a single second, but the situation was different this time. With the twists and turns along the way, plus the battle and returning, 26 hours had passed unknowingly.

Although he wanted to test if three Small Lingkong Pills could be synthesized into one Great Lingkong Pill, Chen Du still chose to continue with his original plan.

First, let's see if 3 purple devouring grasses can be synthesized into 1 golden devouring grass.

Because neither was an immediate necessity, Chen Du wasn't in a rush. The golden devouring grass was fundamentally different from other devouring grasses, and Chen Du didn't even know if he could synthesize it.

As for whether the Small Lingkong Pill could be synthesized into a Great Lingkong Pill, he could just wait another day; he didn't need them for the time being anyway.

After all this was completed, he would frantically synthesize secret relics to see if anything higher-grade would appear. Chen Du currently had the most secret relics in his hands, so he could synthesize them to death.

Immediately, Chen Du put the three Small Lingkong Pills into his Storage Ring and took out the 3 purple devouring grasses inside.

These 3 purple devouring grasses were all synthesized by Chen Du using red devouring grasses.

Afterward, he neatly placed the three purple devouring grasses on the ground, took out the golden shovel, aimed it at them, and chanted as if it were a spell:

"Synthesize!"

Under some unknown power, the three purple devouring grasses quickly underwent a three-in-one synthesis, turning into one golden devouring grass.

"It succeeded."

Chen Du muttered to himself. He was about 50/50 on whether he could synthesize it, and now it remained to be seen if he could synthesize a quality above golden.

However, this process wasn't that fast. Even if Chen Du synthesized all his devouring grasses, he could only produce two more purple ones.

To verify what was above golden, he would still need four purple devouring grasses.

This stuff was monopolized by the Great Civilization, so the difficulty of obtaining more later would still be very high, and the synthesized items wouldn't break their essential effects.

In other words, the function of the devouring grass was always to help lives in the Martial Artist stage raise their Life Strength talent; it was just a matter of how much it raised it.

Chen Du bent down and collected the golden devouring grass that had just been synthesized on the ground into his space; it was different from the golden devouring grass he encountered at the Big Ear Civilization's den.

That one didn't have its feet cut off; it died of old age, or rather, it went through the Reincarnation unique to the golden devouring grass, which was why it left behind something suspected to be seeds.

Unfortunately, the Small Civilization didn't understand knowledge in this regard. Even though Chen Hean was a Sky Soaring Warrior, he only knew the effect of the devouring grass, and he even learned the information about the golden devouring grass from Chen Du.

However, there was no help for it; for this kind of monopolized product, it was very difficult for a Small Civilization to have a way to come into contact with it.

"Now then..."

After finishing these things, Chen Du turned his gaze toward a certain direction.

"It's time to take a trip to the Sad Frog Civilization!"

...

Big Ear Civilization, at the palace.

A weed, with some incredible speed, precisely avoided all perception and successfully entered a room.

Looking at the corpses all over the floor, it fell into silence.

Then, the weed slowly grew larger, turning into a slender metallic life form with five claws.

After the metallic life form quickly confirmed the corpses on the ground, it let out a sound of confusion:

"Strange, where is Chen Hean?"
