Chapter 77: Body Taken Away

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The huge Four Symbols Heavy Sword mercilessly pierced the chests of Tao Yaoyao and Jiang He.

Even Tao Yaoyao, not to mention Jiang He, had a face full of disbelief.

Their health bars instantly dropped to zero.

Looking at their shocked expressions, Mo Xiao’s face remained unchanged, showing no remorse.

He casually withdrew the Four Symbols Heavy Sword.

He did not feel guilty at all.

[You killed the evil spirit Tao Yaoyao and gained 10,000 experience points!]

[You fiercely rubbed Tao Yaoyao’s core and obtained the talent ‘Mental Interference’!]

[Mental Interference (SS-rank): After activation, you can influence the thoughts and actions of others to a certain extent based on their soul strength.] “…” Looking at this talent, Mo Xiao was silent for a moment. “Soul strength? What attribute is that? Is it a mental attribute?”

[The strength of the soul has yet to be digitized. It is a special characteristic of living beings and not a mental attribute. The specific strength is for players to explore on their own.]

“Fine…”

Mo Xiao could only give up after hearing the system’s explanation.

[You rubbed Jiang He’s heart fiercely and gained the special talent ‘Virgin Mother Power.’

“???”

Hearing this name, Mo Xiao’s expression instantly became lively. “What’s this? Virgin Mother Power? Is Jiang He really a Virgin Mother?”

[Virgin Mother Power: A power that can only be awakened by benevolent individuals. Increases healing effects by 200%, healing received by 200%, and damage dealt to evil creatures by 500%. It comes with a skill, Divine Healing: Restores 50% of the target’s health after use.]

“Healing abilities? Although the name is somewhat nauseating… it’s actually quite strong.”

Mo Xiao commented and looked at Jiang He on the ground again, sighing helplessly. “We were friends after all. I should bring your body back with me.”

Just as Mo Xiao was about to approach Jiang He,

countless scarlet vines suddenly rose from the ground.

They instantly wrapped around the bodies of Tao Yaoyao and Jiang He.

“Scarlet Demon Vine?!”

Mo Xiao suddenly frowned. Just as he was about to strike with his sword, a huge stone, similar to the scarlet demon vine, shot out.

It was as if a huge fist had slammed hard into Mo Xiao’s body.

“Clang!”

Seeing this, Mo Xiao instinctively raised his sword to block.

However, the expected damage rebound did not appear.

Instead, he was sent flying over 10 meters away, almost being thrown out of the cave.

“This is… a knockback skill?”

The rebounding ability of the Black Tortoise Armor could only reflect damage, and Mo Xiao had no way to deal with control-type skills.

Unless he hadn’t put away his attack just now, triggering the invincible effect of the Four Symbols Heavy Sword.

However, considering the number of powerful monsters Mo Xiao had encountered, his first reaction to an attack was naturally to activate his shield reflection.

“Human!! You win this time! Our clan will completely eradicate you next time!”

Without waiting for Mo Xiao to continue attacking, the scarlet vines wrapped around Tao Yaoyao and Jiang He and disappeared into the ground.

“Jiang He was also taken away…”

Watching Jiang He and Tao Yaoyao disappear, the uneasiness in Mo Xiao’s heart intensified.

“Just now, it seems I didn’t receive the notification of Jiang He’s death… but…”

Mo Xiao frowned and opened the team panel.

At this moment, Jiang He’s message had already disappeared from the team.

“Is there a bug? It shouldn’t be…” Mo Xiao was silent for a long time before finally shaking his head.

Obviously, he was unable to figure out the reason and not willing to dwell on it.

“But since Tao Yaoyao is an evil spirit, then…”

Thinking of this, Mo Xiao quickly opened his mission panel. Sure enough, the previous mission had disappeared.

“Damn it! The mission is gone! I wasted so much time!”

Seeing the vanished mission, Mo Xiao was close to exploding in anger.

Just as Mo Xiao was infuriated, the system’s voice rang out again.

[Based on the developments, Tao Yaoyao turns out to be an evil Wood Spirit, and the Wood Spirit Village seems to have been taken over by evil spirits. Rumor has it that a unique creature is imprisoned in this cave. Please find it, player!!]

[Mission updated!]

[Find the special creature in the cave!]

“This mission can update in real-time too?”

Looking at the information in front of him, Mo Xiao was slightly stunned. “But it looks like this one is easier than the previous one… the reward won’t decrease, will it?””

[The reward will not change. Players can rest assured to complete it!]

“That’s good. Let’s go.”

Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the cave.

“Demon Vine, is Tao Yaoyao really dead?” The illusory figure frowned and asked.

“Don’t worry, Demon Flame. Tao Yaoyao is just her host body. It’s not that easy to shatter her core with one strike,” Demon Vine said very calmly.

Demon Flame nodded slightly. “That’s good, but why did you bring this human along?”

“Because she’s not dead yet.” As Demon Flame spoke, the scarlet vines slowly dissipated.

A blood-colored ball appeared directly above Jiang He.

The next moment, a blood-colored light directly hit Jiang He.

“Cough cough!”

As this energy hit her, Jiang He’s health instantly fully recovered.

She opened her eyes abruptly, instinctively shouting, “Mo Xiao!”

“She didn’t die? Does she have some special equipment?” Demon Flame asked curiously while looking at the now-conscious Jiang He.

“She probably does, but it doesn’t matter to us,” Scarlet Demon Vine said ferociously.

Hearing these two voices, Jiang He finally reacted. “Scarlet Demon Vine? Demon Flame Giant?! Let go of me quickly! Mo Xiao will come and kill you soon!”

Looking at the two monsters before her, Jiang He was terrified. After all, both of them were high-level bosses whose attributes she couldn’t even see!

“Who you are doesn’t matter, and who’s coming for us doesn’t matter either. Now you belong to us.”

Just then, the cold voice of Tao Yaoyao sounded slowly in Jiang He’s mind.

“Yaoyao?”

Hearing this voice, Jiang He was slightly relieved. She wanted to ask her to help, but suddenly, she froze.

Because she remembered that it seemed to be because of Tao Yaoyao that she got into trouble in the first place.

“Human beings are so naive. The soul is truly weak. A slight temptation and they fall for it.” Tao Yaoyao sneered, “Don’t worry, just sleep peacefully. Your body is mine!”

Jiang He couldn’t even shout before countless vines completely enveloped her.

A few minutes later, Jiang He slowly stood up from the ground. “Is this a human body? It’s really weak-”

“Tao Yaoyao, oh no, Jiang He, do you need us to help you level up?”
