Chapter 35
Life Crystal
“The Guardian’s Treasure Chest? Is it something exclusive to this place?”
Mo Xiao glanced at the treasure chest he had never seen before and curiously rubbed his chin. “Who cares? Let’s just rub it first.”
[You rubbed the Guardian’s Treasure Chest, and it transcended into the Defender’s Treasure Chest!]
“Guardian Treasure Chest… Looks like there will be more guardians ahead…”
[You have opened the guardian treasure chest and obtained the Vitality Stone.]
[Vitality Stone: When used, it increases maximum health by 300 points.]
“Damn! 300 HP upper limit?!”
Seeing this number, Mo Xiao’s eyes instantly widened.
300 HP was equivalent to 30 physique points!
Mo Xiao licked his lips and grabbed the stone in his hand, vigorously rubbing it.
[You rubbed the Vitality Stone, and it transcended into the Life Crystal!]
[Life Crystal: Increases maximum health by 3,000 points after use!]
“!!!”
Three thousand!
Mo Xiao’s current HP was not even close to 3,000!
Without hesitation, Mo Xiao fiercely rubbed the crystal in his hand again.
However, it was evident that this kind of thing could only transcend once.
“If it could transcend again, I could probably increase my maximum health by 30,000. What a pity, it can only transcend once. Let’s use it directly.”
[Life Crystal has been used. Current maximum health is 4,750.]
“Wow, my health is probably higher than most tanks now, isn’t it?”
Mo Xiao nodded in satisfaction and directly took out the guardian’s saber.

“Damn… Level 45 equipment? So, the monster I just killed was at least level 45? Am I really this awesome now?”
Previously, he could only defeat these kinds of monsters by relying on the tenfold damage from the Power of a Thousand Catties.
But just now, he didn’t even trigger the Strength of a Thousand Catties, yet he managed to take down that thing with just the Flying General’s Bow and the Black Tortoise Armor.
It had to be said that the Flying General’s Bow and Black Tortoise Armor were really powerful.
Looking at the saber in his hand, Mo Xiao immediately put it away.
After all, this was a level 45 equipment. It was not something he could use now.
Instead of having tempting attributes that made him eager to try it out, it was better to store it away.
Mo Xiao put away his saber and looked at the place where he had come from.
The previous passage had disappeared by now, directly blocked by a stone wall.
It was evident that there was no turning back. The gate behind the guardian, which had been closed earlier, was now open. Mo Xiao’s only option was to continue moving forward.
After contemplating for a moment, Mo Xiao walked directly into the next passage.
[Congratulations on passing Trial 1. Would you like to enter the next Trial space?]
As soon as Mo Xiao entered the passage, the system prompt sounded again.
“If I don’t go in, I can’t go back…” Mo Xiao sighed with some frustration and said, “Enter!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everything blurred before his eyes, and he appeared in a completely new open space.
Compared to the previous trial area, this open space was much larger, not only in terms of area but also in height..
However, Mo Xiao did not see any monsters.
“Such a large place… I hope there won’t be any flying monsters here.”
[You have arrived at the trial ground 2. Please complete the trial!]
As the system prompt sounded, the entire trial area began to tremble violently.
In the next moment, the sound of three heavy objects landing could be heard.
Three Guardian No. 1s descended from the sky at the same time and appeared in the empty space.
Wearing the same armor and wielding the same saber, they were clearly identical to the monsters in the previous trial area.
“It seems to be the same type of monster, but having three of them at the same time might be challenging to deal with.”
Mo Xiao squinted his eyes, looking at the three Guardians standing side by side, as he slowly drew his Flying General’s Bow.
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”
In an instant, the sound of five arrows cutting through the air could be heard.
One large and four small arrows flew towards the guardian at the edge.
-26,080!
-13,040!
-13,040!
-13,040!
-13,040!
Instantly, a series of damage that broke through 10,000 appeared above the guardian’s head. It was evident that the Strength of a Thousand Catties had been triggered.
It instantly killed the guardian.
[You have slain Guardian No. 1 and gained 10,000 experience points!]
However, in the instant the guardian was slain, the other two guardians simultaneously opened their eyes..
Two deafening roars echoed.
They charged straight towards Mo Xiao.
“Looks like I can’t kill them one by one…”
Seeing the two guardians rushing towards him, Mo Xiao quickly retreated.
His Flying General’s Bow continued to fire at the guardians.
Before the two Guardians could get close, their health bars had already hit rock bottom.
“Two more shots!” Mo Xiao remained composed and shot two arrows directly.
Another string of numbers appeared.
The HP of the two guardians decreased to zero at this moment.
However, their bodies did not disappear. Instead, they fell slowly to the ground.
They gradually emanated a crimson glow.
In the next moment, vines devoid of crimson color burst out from the fallen Guardian’s body, spreading in all directions like blood.
Seeing the rapidly approaching vines, Mo Xiao was momentarily stunned.
In that moment of hesitation, the eerie vines directly brushed against Mo Xiao’s leg.
[-2,000!]
Immediately, a terrifying amount of damage surged from Mo Xiao’s body.
Startled, Mo Xiao’s pupils contracted, and he turned around to run.
If it weren’t for consuming the Life Crystal just now, he would have been done for!
“What the hell is this thing? Such high damage!” Mo Xiao looked bewilderedly at the red vines that covered almost the entire area, his face filled with confusion.
Even with the use of Detection Skill, he couldn’t see any information about these red vines.
Mo Xiao’s health had been restored to full with the help of the Dragon King’s Pendant, but he still didn’t want to touch this thing again.
Just as he was pondering, the vines finally stopped expanding outward and started to retract rapidly. The crimson vines, like claws, curled up everything they touched and rapidly contracted toward the center, including the previously slain Guardians by Mo Xiao.
Before long, all the red vines disappeared, leaving behind a peculiar red giant egg in the center of the area.
Before Mo Xiao could use his detection technique, a pair of demon wings full of holes stretched out from the egg first.
An earth-shattering roar sounded.
A monstrous being with three heads, six arms, a pair of wings, and wearing crimson armor directly appeared in the center of the field.
