158: Million God Gold

Xiao Xing glanced over; it was indeed a Fu Rui Pig, but its attributes were a bit insane.

With its special transcendent skill, no one could bind the Fu Rui Pig. Coupled with its health and defense, it was practically unkillable.

But nothing is absolute; its skill had a three-second cooldown.

As long as the Fu Rui Pig used Void Traversal, it could be bound or even killed within those three seconds.

Others might not be able to do it, but Xiao Xing could. If he could trigger an instant-kill effect within those three seconds, he could slay the Fu Rui Pig.

The System's settings were very harsh, but there was still a sliver of hope.

Over millions of years, the Fu Rui Pig had collected countless treasures. If it were killed, with Xiao Xing's luck value, it would surely drop a massive amount of loot.

Aurora Slash!

In the instant he thought about it, Xiao Xing made his decision.

Seeing the Sword Qi approaching, the Fu Rui Pig opened its mouth and spat out a Frying Pan.

Boom!

The Sword Qi struck the Frying Pan and exploded instantly, sending a terrifying shockwave sweeping out.

The seemingly unremarkable Frying Pan actually neutralized his skill.

Frying Pan (Advanced Cooking Tool)

Effect: When preparing ingredients below Super rank, speed is increased by 30% and quality is increased by 30%.

"Aurora Dance!"

Casting a casual glance at the Frying Pan, Xiao Xing used his skill again.

Seeing so much Sword Qi, the Fu Rui Pig looked startled and hurriedly shook its head.

Ding-ling!

The bell hanging around its neck suddenly rang.

A transparent ripple spread from the bell, blocking all the Sword Qi.

Holy crap!

Xiao Xing couldn't help but rub his nose, somewhat speechless.

He only wanted to get some benefits from the Fu Rui Pig and hadn't intended to kill it.

But with so many treasures hanging on it, making it cough something up was proving difficult.

The Fu Rui Pig was extremely afraid of death. If he dared to take a step closer, it would likely flee, which was why he planned to use skills to attack it and force it to keep spitting out treasures.

But it seemed this method wouldn't work either; he had to try something else.

With that thought, Xiao Xing stopped attacking and walked toward the Fu Rui Pig.

Oink!

Seeing Xiao Xing approach, the Fu Rui Pig raised its head and let out an angry grunt.

Although it was scared, it stayed put, unwilling to leave because it had discovered a piece of divine gold here and was almost done digging it out.

Xiao Xing ignored its grunts and continued to walk forward unhurriedly.

Oink!

Seeing Xiao Xing draw near, the Fu Rui Pig was terrified.

After a loud grunt, it opened its mouth and spat out another item that looked like a hammer.

Aurora Sword Flash!

Xiao Xing used his skill directly, appearing beside the Fu Rui Pig while dodging the attack.

Capture Technique!

As soon as he appeared, he pressed his palm onto the Fu Rui Pig's head, and a capture progress bar began to appear.

Shua!

The terrified Fu Rui Pig didn't hesitate; it activated Void Traversal and vanished instantly.

It had only summoned the courage to stay for the divine gold, but with its head pinned, it didn't dare stay a moment longer.

Xiao Xing withdrew his hand and went to pick up the Frying Pan and the hammer.

There was nothing he could do against a skill like that, unless the pig came out now.

After collecting the two treasures, Xiao Xing walked over to the pit the Fu Rui Pig had half-excavated.

Because it was an Epic Rank Ore Vein, the rocks here were extremely hard. It was difficult for players to mine Ore, though an Epic Rank Pickaxe would make it easier.

Xiao Xing crouched down, took out his pickaxe, and started digging. With the Epic Rank Pickaxe, he easily broke through the rock.

Ding! Congratulations, you have mined a piece of divine gold.

In less than ten minutes, Xiao Xing had dug the divine gold out of the rock.

System Notification: You have just obtained a piece of divine gold. It is detected that the Golden Finger has finished its cooldown. Would you like to apply the amplification?

Amplify!

He didn't hesitate and amplified the divine gold. Having a large amount of divine gold meant a large number of Divine Artifacts; there was no reason not to amplify it.

System Notification: You have amplified the divine gold, obtaining 1,000,000 pieces of divine gold.

System Notification: It is detected that your inventory is full. Excess items have been placed in a temporary inventory. Please organize it as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary loss.

Seeing the notification, Xiao Xing transferred all the divine gold into his spatial ring and then scanned the surroundings with his Eye of Death.

He guessed that the Fu Rui Pig must be watching from the shadows. Since it loved high-grade treasures so much, it certainly wouldn't give up on the divine gold easily.

If it really were nearby, he could use the divine gold to lure it out and then try to kill it.

But today's use of the Golden Finger was already spent, so he could only try again tomorrow.

He didn't see the Fu Rui Pig after scanning the area, but he poured out ten thousand pieces of divine gold anyway.

Instantly, the divine gold piled up in the cave like a small mountain, emitting a dazzling divine light.

Seeing this from within the Void Realm, the Fu Rui Pig couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It didn't know how many years it would have to dig to get so many high-grade treasures, yet here they were, right before its eyes.

Although it was timid, the sheer amount of treasure had overcome its reason. It was going to make its move.

"I know you're nearby. If you want divine gold, come here tomorrow and wait."

After speaking, Xiao Xing didn't care if the Fu Rui Pig could hear him and started picking up the divine gold on his own.

But before he could pick up many, a bell rang.

Ding-ling!

System Notification: You are bound by the Dream Sound Lock. You cannot move or use skills for 60 seconds.

Lucky Blessing!

Although the Dream Sound Lock sealed character skills, equipment skills could still be used.

Xiao Xing's reaction was extremely fast, and he instantly dispelled the control effect.

By now, the Fu Rui Pig had appeared next to the divine gold. It opened its mouth and quickly sucked the divine gold into its body.

Xiao Xing didn't make a move; he wanted to give the Fu Rui Pig a taste of sweetness so it would be easier to lure out later.

In less than a minute, the Fu Rui Pig had sucked up half of the divine gold.

Knowing the control duration was about to end, it stopped absorbing the divine gold and raised its front paw, intending to apply another round of control.

But before it could ring the bell, Xiao Xing suddenly lunged forward and stabbed it several times with the xuanyuan sword, scaring the Fu Rui Pig into fleeing with its skill.

These few strikes only dealt insignificant damage and didn't trigger an instant kill.

"I still have plenty of divine gold here. If you want it, wait here tomorrow. If you dare to come out and steal again, I'll finish you off!"

After the Fu Rui Pig fled, Xiao Xing raised his finger and opened the spatial ring.

His goal was to let the Fu Rui Pig see the massive amount of divine gold to firmly hook its interest.

His approach might be childish, but the Fu Rui Pig was just a pig; its intelligence wouldn't be that high. With so much divine gold, it was 100% certain to be lured.

Still shaken within the Void Realm, the Fu Rui Pig's eyes turned red with greed again upon seeing the millions of pieces of divine gold.

But it didn't act immediately because it had just been frightened and didn't dare to go out and steal so easily.

Although it had many treasures it could use to attack, with its low intelligence, it didn't even think of them.

If it hadn't thought Xiao Xing was completely controlled earlier, it wouldn't have dared to come out for the life of it.

After being stabbed a few times, it was now terrified to the extreme.
