Chapter 28: Chapter 28 - A Dangerous Treasure
Liu Xin didn't bother looking at the jade and stored the flower in his storage ring. As long as he has this flower, his points will remain, if this flower is taken or stolen, his points will disappear too.
He looked at the map and travelled to another herb location.
It wasn't that far, only some km away. He appeared near the herb, maybe some hundreds of meters away.
At this time, his sense tingled. A huge, probably bigger than the previous yellow dot rapidly rushed toward him.
Thump! Thump!
The land shook as the sound of footsteps intensified. A huge figure, if compared to anything, tens of elephants stacking on each other, and a giraffe at the top, that much height of the monster would be.
In a sense, more than 100 meters in size, with a terrifying aura lingering aura, the monster emerged from the darkness.
The land around was nothing but dense forest, however, the monster that came seemed to perfectly fit around without having to break any tree for movement.
Leaving its height, it had a big head with two lines around its face which had countless pupils. Devoid of a nose, and a mouth that was so small which doesn't fit in its face at all.
It had a body of a monkey but was devoid of fur and only snow-white skin. Ten huge hands sprawled around his body, and four legs on the bottom.
The legs weren't normal, they looked long, sharp and tiny like a spider.
Roar!
A loud roar leapt from its mouth which shook the trees.
"Why are you here, human?!" In a very eerie voice, the monster spoke.
"!!" Liu Xin's eyes widen as his body straightens.
Those monsters who can speak have either great cultivation around nascent souls or pure and noble bloodlines.
From the looks of it, the monster only had a yellow dot, so it should be around Foundation Building Stage, so its bloodline should be noble.
Calming himself down, Liu Xin softly said, "I am here for the herb."
The beast's eyes redden as his whole line turned red. "That herb is for me. Go back." The beast's voice was polite, but it contained hidden malice.
Liu Xin frowned. He wasn't furious, but he again looked at the beast. "I want that herb."
"Don't make me impatient, human. I am feeling generous today, so I won't harm you. Go quickly, or else..." The beast thumped the ground and cracks appeared.
From the looks of it, the beast looked strong. 'I don't feel any suppression from its strength nor aura. I feel like something is wrong.'
Liu Xin frowned deeply. For a beast, if the human is lower in strength than them, they won't hesitate and kill them in one strike. They don't give warnings twice.
Even if the beast seemed strong and furious, it only cracked the ground. That was very strange, as it could just crush him.
Its speed should be greater. Nobel bloodline beasts are arrogant in nature and they hate humans the most. In any case, the beast's behaviour is weird.
Only one thing came to his mind. 'Illusion.' He opened his system.
He had 1000 high-grade spiritual stones. He hasn't upgraded any of his system functions, so he decided to upgrade it today.
But before that, he searched illusion-breaking eyes in the store.
And he found many of them ranging from 500 spiritual stones to... the number had many zeros so he didn't bother.
He looked at the one which cost 600 and required a graphic card to be level 3 and 1 GB Ram.
First of all, he bought the eyes.
[Ding!]
[Purchased Successful]
[Stored in-store space....]
He then looked at his specs.
[Cultivation PC]
[Motherboard: Liu Xin (Upper Foundation Building Realm)]
[Processor: Divine Sense (2 GHz)]
[Operating System: Dantian {CultivateOS 2}]
[RAM: Perception (256 MB)]
[Storage: Sea of Consciousness (1 GB)]
[Graphic Card: Spiritual Perspective (Qi Spiritual Graphic 1.0 )]
[Sound Card: Divine Hearing (Spiritual Sound Hearing 1.0 )]
[Network card: Data Processing (Qi Network}]
Everything can be upgraded by Spiritual Stone, but it requires a high grade.
He upgraded the graphic card. First, it required 10 spiritual stones, and then level 4 required 100.
He wanted to level it up to 5, but not only did it contain 1000 Sptitual stones but also Superior Demon Eyes.
He didn't care much and upgraded his ram to 1 GB.
After reaching 2 GB, he required additional material High Void Spritual Grass to upgrade more.
He only had around 100 Sprtiual Stone left, so he upgraded other specs by one level.
[Ding! All specs upgraded to 3]
[System upgrade available!]
[Do you want to upgrade it?]
[Yes] [No]
He cancelled.
[Ding!]
[Please upgrade it sooner]
With that, the hologram disappeared. Another hologram which was small and required his focus to expand was in the corner of his eyes.
[Operating System Upgraded]
[Function Upgraded]
[A new feature Downloading...]
While a lot of things happened, the time wasn't more than a minute. The beast frowned but stare at Liu Xin.
Liu Xin equipped the 'Seeing Through the Illusion', an Upper-Grade eyes.
Yes, not a skill but real eyes. His eyes glowed. Bit by bit from the side, the eyes dissolved and a new one replaced them.
In just a matter of seconds, the eyes which were more grand, white in colour and had customizable pupils were on his face.
He looked at the monkey beast. His pupils expanded and glowed black. The black spread in his white eyes and a light emitted from his eyes.
The light pierced through the monkey beast and suddenly, the beast shrank.
His eyes returned to normal, however, the big and terrifying beast shrank to the size of a normal monster.
It had two eyes, four limbs and normal looking body. The only special thing was it had a special aura and could speak.
"Leave now! If you don't leave in three seconds, I will kill you!"
Liu Xin's lips twitched. His illusion has shattered but he still thinks his illusion is intact.
"Really? I want to see how you can kill me." Liu Xin smiled as he cracked his knuckles.
"Huh?" The monkey was full of question marks. Liu Xin appeared infront of him.
"Wait! Wait!!"
In the forest, a loud scream echoed. Every animal who heard this shivered and prayed.
Rest in peace.
