Chapter 160 - 137: The Sea God’s Generous Reward
Chapter 160: Chapter 137: The Sea God’s Generous Reward
Fang Xiu watched the struggling Harpy before him.
But inside, he felt utterly calm.
He knew the person signing for the delivery had arrived.
"Please, let me go! I won’t attack you again. I’m willing to become your servant!"
The Harpy roared once more.
She could feel a power within the Sacrifice—one that was both familiar and terrifying.
It was the Power of the Sea God, Poseidon.
If this Sacrificial Power offered her up to the Sea God, Poseidon, her life would be over.
"Heh, I don’t need a servant. I just saved you, yet you still tried to kill me. I think I’ll just Sacrifice you. Go meet Poseidon!"
Fang Xiu said lightly.
"No! You can’t! If I kill you, I’ll recover immediately! Your Sacrificial Power can’t hold me! No!!!"
The Harpy was clearly in a state of distress.
But she wasn’t wrong. Her strength was continuously recovering.
Fang Xiu watched as the Harpy’s body began to regenerate before his eyes.
He felt a sense of pressure.
’This bird... is actually quite good-looking.’
’And she’s quite... large.’
Her upper body had already taken on a human form.
She had the features of a foreign woman.
She was very attractive—one could even say stunningly beautiful.
However, her savage expression was a major turn-off.
Looking at the Harpy, Fang Xiu just prayed that Poseidon would take her away quickly.
Meanwhile, Fang Xiu was constantly chugging Spiritual Power Recovery Potions.
It was already impressive that his Spiritual Power could sustain this for several dozen seconds.
If he didn’t replenish it quickly, he probably wouldn’t last the remaining ten-plus seconds.
Fortunately, at that moment, the light completely enveloped the Harpy.
And Fang Xiu could no longer hear the Harpy’s screams.
’Is she sent off already?’
Fang Xiu stared at the light, a little curious.
He didn’t know what exactly was happening inside it.
The Harpy’s voice had vanished completely.
After all, Fang Xiu knew about the relationship between this bird-person and the Sea God.
Poseidon’s son, Phineus, had listened to slander and cruelly blinded his own two sons.
To punish Phineus, the gods blinded him in turn.
Afterward, feeling that wasn’t enough, they sent the Harpies to continue tormenting Phineus.
The Harpies’ task was, whenever Phineus sat down to eat...
...to swoop down from the sky and snatch his food away.
For any food they couldn’t take, they would defecate on it, making it impossible for Phineus to eat.
Although this was the will of the gods...
...how could Poseidon tolerate it?
It was a complete slap in the face.
So, when Fang Xiu saw the system indicate that this Harpy could be Sacrificed to the Sea God Poseidon...
...he pretty much understood the implication.
Poseidon probably wanted revenge on the Harpy.
While this had little to do with Fang Xiu himself...
...after the Sacrifice, not only would the Harpy be unable to cause him trouble, but she also couldn’t harm anyone else here.
Most importantly, Sacrificing this thing would also yield a reward.
It was a win-win-win situation. Why wouldn’t Fang Xiu do it?
Even if it was somewhat risky.
But fortune favors the bold.
Fang Xiu felt it was the right move.
Besides, Fang Xiu’s luck had always been good.
Even before he had the Celestial Wolf Ring, his luck was good.
And now that he had the Celestial Wolf Ring...
...his luck was off the charts.
And at this moment, Fang Xiu once again witnessed just how good his luck truly was.
The moment the light finally vanished...
...Fang Xiu could clearly see that feathers were already growing back on the Harpy’s body.
But just as she was about to lunge at him...
...she vanished without a trace.
"Phew!"
Fang Xiu let out a sigh of relief.
’If that thing had actually broken free...’
’...I would’ve met my end here today.’
Thankfully, it wasn’t the Harpy that emerged. Instead, a chest was left in her place.
This chest was quite large compared to the other rewards Fang Xiu had received before.
’Is the Sea God this generous?’
Looking at the large chest in front of him, Fang Xiu walked over.
He examined it carefully. The chest was ocean blue.
It was inlaid with numerous gold edges.
It was also carved with golden patterns.
Overall, it looked high-end and magnificent, and was quite beautiful.
However, he wasn’t particularly interested in admiring the chest.
Right now, Fang Xiu only wanted to know what reward the Sea God would give him.
After all, he had sent the Sea God a great gift.
If the Sea God’s reward was too shabby, Fang Xiu wouldn’t want to go through the trouble of Sacrificing again in the future.
After all, this whole Sacrifice business not only consumed a huge amount of Spiritual Power but also involved great danger.
"Brother Fang!"
Just as Fang Xiu was about to open the Sea God’s chest...
...a shout came from outside.
Fang Xiu’s brow furrowed slightly.
’That voice... it’s Ye Fan’s.’
Ye Fan must have woken up.
After a moment’s hesitation, Fang Xiu put the entire chest away.
Then he walked outside.
"Brother Fang, what happened to me?"
Ye Fan had no idea what had just transpired.
When he had just woken up, he found all his joints had been dislocated.
And he was tied up, too.
"You were mesmerized by something here. I was afraid you’d walk over to be sacrificed, so I tied you up!"
Fang Xiu looked at Ye Fan, whose eyes were now clear and lucid.
It was obvious he was no longer under control.
Only then did Fang Xiu feel relieved and untie Ye Fan.
CRACK!
CRACK! CRACK!
Then he helped Ye Fan pop his bones back into place.
"Phew!"
Ye Fan also let out a sigh of relief.
He thought for a moment, then said, "I remember now. I think I heard someone singing, and then... and then I don’t know anything after that!"
Ye Fan looked at the bloody trench carved out by the Sacrifice not far away.
A wave of fear washed over him.
If Fang Xiu hadn’t been here, he would have been Sacrificed long ago.
"Don’t worry, I’ve already dealt with that thing. There’s a lot of good stuff inside, go take a look!"
Fang Xiu said, pointing to the altar.
Hearing this, Ye Fan hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Since Brother Fang had spoken, he naturally listened.
He then jogged toward the altar.
"Whoa, this... this... this is incredible!"
Ye Fan’s voice drifted out.
Fang Xiu shook his head helplessly.
Then he directly opened the large Treasure Chest given by the Sea God.
The reason he chose to open it outside was that he was worried that after the altar lost its effect...
...Demon Beasts might rush in.
Fang Xiu could still fend them off, but Ye Fan might not be able to.
Letting Ye Fan move things while Fang Xiu opened the Treasure Chest himself—that was the logical arrangement.
And as Fang Xiu opened the blue Treasure Chest, the items inside instantly burst forth with a dazzling light!
