Chapter 598 Death’s Contract
Lu Yu and Xu Mo opened the scroll, and a ray of light flashed and swallowed them.
The light disappeared, and the two men also disappeared.
Inside the military base, the soldiers were busy dealing with the aftermath, and few people noticed the two missing people.
Xu Mo emerged from a pile of fallen leaves in the dense forest outside the upper house stronghold. He patted the dust off his body and looked around vigilantly.
The next moment, Lu Yu appeared behind him.
“Okay, we’ll teleport to the mines and set off from there.”
Lu Yu walked out and took out two scrolls.
Xu Mo slowly opened it and looked at it carefully.
“This looks like a fixed teleportation scroll. It will teleport you between two fixed locations. In other words, if someone wants to use your scroll to teleport to the mines, they must first destroy your stronghold.”
Lu Yu nodded and continued, “That’s right, that’s it. Now, let’s teleport over.”
Hearing that, Xu Mo nodded and began to inject energy into the scroll.
The stronghold of the upper house was located here, but to speed up, the two of them didn’t plan on entering it.
The scroll unfurled, and a light flashed, engulfing the two of them as it took them away.
Two figures suddenly appeared on a snow-capped mountain peak, adding a little color to the all-white scenery.
“Look, the mines are below us. We just took control of it.”
“The scale of this mine sure is huge. How many of the crystals you mentioned can be mined? What’s the efficiency of that?” Xu Mo asked.
“We’ve only just started working, so I haven’t considered or counted the efficiency of it yet. However, Claine Crystals aren’t easy to mine, but there are many other precious crystals in there.”
“You guys sure picked up a treasure.”
At that moment, Lu Yu took out a map and pointed out the location of the Truth Department.
“We will need to go north and slightly eastward. There are fewer mountains over there, unlike the layers of mountains here.”
“As long as we get there, we’ll be able to see the headquarters of the Truth Department.”
Xu Mo looked at the map and nodded. “No problem. Let’s set off and see their true colors!”
“Yup, follow me. There’s only one tunnel to the outside world unless you can climb over this steep mountain.”
“It’s not difficult for us cultivators to climb this mountain. However, there’s no need to waste our energy now.”
Lu Yu only smiled and didn’t say anything.
He was right, as climbing up this mountain peak was possible. It would, however, be a waste of energy and embarra.s.sing. It was better to walk through the tunnel.
The two of them walked in the dark tunnel, following the faint light of the crystal.
“I’ll join the military after this ancient ruins expedition is over.”
Lu Yu’s words piqued Xu Mo’s curiosity.
“Oh, really? So fast? Has the military agreed to it?”
Lu Yu smiled helplessly. “They can’t wait for me to come over, especially after I found out such important information.”
“I’m looking forward to seeing you in the military. Your future achievements will definitely exceed everyone’s imagination.”
Lu Yu smiled humbly. “No one can say for sure what will happen in the future.”
“By the way, after I go to the military headquarters, can you take me to find that person?”
Xu Mo frowned. “Are you talking about the person from three years ago?”
Lu Yu nodded. “That’s right. Bring me to that person. I’m really curious how that person knew about my future.”
Xu Mo chuckled. “Don’t overthink it. There are many strange people in the military as they’ve gathered many strange people doing strange things. Maybe he’s someone who can predict the future and knows you’re set to achieve big things.”
“Don’t joke around. There are no so-called prophets in this world. Some scammers will pretend to be prophets, but they usually spout nonsense.”
Xu Mo waved his hand. “You’re right that there are no prophets in this world. We will need to ask him face-to-face, but I’ve almost forgotten what he looks like.”
“If you can find him, that would be for the best.”
“What if you can’t? Wouldn’t that be a pity?”
“It’s fine. I maintain a file for every mission I complete. I’ll find out where he is after I check it.”
Lu Yu was slightly relieved upon hearing this.
“That’s great… I’ll have to trouble you with this.”
“It’s no trouble at all. It’s my honor to be able to help a talent like you.”
The two chatted as they walked forward. Xu Mo’s tone of voice was very calm and soothing, with barely any emotional fluctuation.
The first time Lu Yu saw him, he felt strange. This person seemed to be able to see through many things, and his att.i.tude toward many things was quite indifferent.
Suddenly, Lu Yu recalled the moment when he shook his hand. Xu Mo’s hands were cold like ice, not the temperature that a normal person should have.
Lu Yu’s curiosity was piqued. He slowly stopped talking, and the two of them silently walked forward.
Lu Yu activated his Eye of the Dragon G.o.d and glanced at Xu Mo, and what he saw surprised him.
[ Xu Mo ]
[ Overall strength: Platinum rank 2 ]
[ Talent: Death’s Contract (SSS-Level). Sign a contract with the G.o.d of death and obtain the crystal of immortality. After each death, the contractor’s consciousness will return to the crystal and get a new body rebuilt. Prerequisite: talent will be triggered after the contractor’s death ]
[ Death’s Contract: An enemy will die after getting attacked 13 times. ]
His talent was SSS-level! Moreover, Lu Yu was shocked by the unique trait of this talent. He had never seen such an effect before.
This description wasn’t straightforward enough, but Lu Yu could still understand it.
All in all, Xu Mo was a dead man walking. His original body was stored in a crystal, and the body he possessed currently was a body made of a type of crystal.
It could be said that if Lu Yu killed Xu Mo now, he would disappear on the spot, and another one would be created from his crystal of immortality.
This talent was outrageous. Lu Yu couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh at Xu Mo’s immortality. Didn’t this mean that he could do whatever he wanted?
If the enemy could not find the crystal he hid his body in, he could do whatever he wanted!
At that moment, Lu Yu realized Xu Mo was the most suitable person for any special mission, especially those hazardous ones!
However, this talent wasn’t only strong because of its immortality. It also came imbued with a powerful killing skill. As long as he attacked an enemy 13 times, he would kill it instantly!
This technique was terrifying. If one didn’t know his talent and fought him, they wouldn’t even know how they died.
At that moment, Lu Yu felt that Qin Yang’s SSS-level talent was nothing compared to Xu Mo’s…
