Earth's Best Gamer - Chapter 268
Chapter 268: The First Transcendent War Trophy
“Change one’s talent?
“Is it similar to the Contract talent dropped by the seed of providence player of the Eagle Men?!”
Ji Ye’s face lit up.
Of course, the King’s Soul dropped by the captain of the Ghostship was more valuable.
The “Contract” talent could only be used five times, but this one was permanent and unlimited.
But in Ji Ye’s opinion, compared to the ability to enable something without any talent to gain one, the greater significance of this object was that it could change one’s talent. It would be particularly useful for heroes without much potential.
Take the heroes of the Twin Dragon Island as an example.
The potential of heroes in the Land of Inheritance was determined by their fame and popularity.
Therefore, popular heroes like Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Zhao Yun, and Yan Qing came with high talent potential, so were Ninth Uncle and Nie Xiaoqian.
Whereas Ruan Xiaoer, a Superior hero, who was quite capable in battles, only had mediocre talent potential. His talent only enhanced his explosive force when fighting in the water, which was a lot less significant than the King’s Soul dropped by the captain of the Ghostship.
That talent could definitely be changed to something else!
Apart from the talent that looked like a blob of light, the other objects dropped by the captain of the Ghostship were quite impressive as well.
First of all, there was the invisible weapon he used to ambush the enemy in the dark.
[Invisible Harpoon]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-7]
[Rarity: Excellent (Rare)]
[Description: A weapon made of the hardest bones of a Commander Invisible Fish. It is incredibly strong, and when hit by the harpoon, a living creature would be poisoned and paralyzed.]
The weapon had a Rare hidden property. Had it not been for Ji Ye’s acute perception and the Power of Dragon Valiance, he might have been hit already.
With his Extraordinary Healing talent, he should be able to quickly get rid of the negative effect, but when fighting against another capable being, the tiniest mistake could become fatal.
Apart from the Invisible Harpoon, Ji Ye was quite interested in the pair of dark red sabers that could withstand his Dragon-Subduing Strike.
Although his Dragon-Subduing Strike wasn’t as powerful as that of Guo Jing, who had mastered the Transcendent knowledge, his Yin and Yang Sutra had reached Extraordinary Rank-8, which meant that the level of his inner strength had already exceeded that of Guo Jing, who was a peak Extraordinary Rank-7 in the Battlefield of Providence.
“Twin Dragons Emerge From Water” wasn’t a particularly destructive strike, but it wasn’t something that a common weapon could withstand.
[Horn Demon Machete (a pair)]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-6]
[Rarity: Perfect]
[Description: The weapon left behind by a Commander Snake Monkey after it was killed by the captain of the Ghostship. It is said to have been made from the horns of a creature with the demon bloodline. Although its level had decreased after sustaining a major damage, it is still an impressive weapon!]
“A Perfect weapon! No wonder…”
When Ji Ye picked up that light blob containing the pair of machetes, he saw the property of the weapons, and his eyes lit up.
Perfect objects could exert all their extraordinary power in an instant, which was why the machetes could withstand his strike for a brief moment.
Unfortunately, after he activated his Dragon Aura, the machetes could no longer withstand his force and were damaged. Otherwise, they would have become a pair of Extraordinary Rank-7 equipment by now.
After that, Ji Ye put down the demon machetes and picked up the shield with a dragon head.
Of the four weapons, this shield was definitely the most valuable one.
Because the blob of light was covered not only by the Extraordinary white light; there was also a hint of silver light as well.
[Shield of Red Dragon]
[Level: Special]
[Rarity: Superior]
[Description: It was left behind by the Tyrant Lizard after it was killed by the captain of the Ghostship, and it is said to have something to do with a red dragon.]
“The Tyrant Lizard?”
Ji Ye remembered the Dragon Piss Liquor he picked up on the deck, and the Tyrant Lizard was mentioned once in the description. Many of the creatures he fought also had the description of Ghostship Crew (Tyrant Lizard) on them.
“Are Tyrant Lizards members of an alien race, who have been defeated by the Ghostship and lost their resources and souls?”
Ji Ye considered that possibility.
The shield was quite formidable. The temperature of its dragon fire was even higher than that of his Extreme Yang energy.
When Ji Ye first faced the dragon fire of the Ghostship captain, who had taken his Giant Dragon form, he had to activate his Flood Dragon Bloodline to control the seawater to fend off the dragon fire.
And after the Ghostship captain turned into his human form, the dragon breath he activated in the shape of a shield was a lot less effective than the first one, but it was still powerful enough to fight against both the Jade Dragon Sword and Icepick, which were both Extraordinary items.
It was one of the most powerful objects with Transcendent power he had ever seen.
Naturally, the more powerful it was when wielded by an enemy, the more satisfying it would be when it became a war trophy.
But Ji Ye’s favorite was the last item.
It was a parchment wrapping around the Ghostship captain’s heart, and it was giving off a light faint silver glow.
[Devil’s Parchment]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-1]
[Rarity: Superior (Rare offering)]
[Description: The captain of the Ghostship obtained this Transcendent treasure during one of his adventures. After signing a contract with the devil, he brought a great number of souls to the latter. The treasures on the ship would lure living creatures aboard, and their souls would all become part of the ship and would be trapped there forever!]
[Note: In the legend of the Four-Armed Snake Man, the captain of the Ghostship was a villain that could stop babies from crying at night. It was a very valuable offering that could only be used when a settlement reached the Transcendent level!]
“A Transcendent item?”
This was the first time that Ji Ye had had direct contact with a Transcendent item.
He had seen a lot of Transcendent items in the City of Humans.
And they were almost all more advanced than the Devil’s Parchment.
But because of his limited purchase rights, he couldn’t buy any of them. But this parchment was a war trophy that belonged to him.
Although the offering property meant that he couldn’t use it directly, it didn’t affect the item’s value and significance.
And to be frank, if this item didn’t have the offering property, the Twin Dragon Mount probably wouldn’t find it safe to use it.
After all, from its name and the fact that it had wrapped around the captain’s heart, to the information in the description and the note, one could see that there was something evil about this item. A “devil” that was at least a Transcendent being could even be involved.
Had it been a regular war trophy, they would have to find a way to use it safely.
But since it was an offering, they wouldn’t have to worry about that.
Because an offering could be cleansed and suppressed by the power of providence of the Human race and the summoned hero.
…
Apart from the seven war trophies dropped by the captain, there were quite a few valuable items that were salvaged by the Dragon Tooth Battalion.
The golden coral tree was one of them.
[Golden Coral]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-8]
[Rarity: Excellent (Rare)]
[Description: A type of rare living coral. The powder made from it could enable one to breathe and talk underwater for a period of time (it could be cultivated).]
There were also some magical potions that could off one’s buff.
There was the “Ox Potion” that could enhance one’s strength, the “Eagle Potion” that could increase one’s speed, and the “Stone Skin Potion” that could boost one’s defense ability…
There were only a few bottles of each potion, but to Ji Ye, even one bottle was enough. With his Fusion talent, he could analyze the composition of them all.
And the existence of the potions made Ji Ye believe that the Ghostship had attacked the settlement of some alien race.
The crew of the Ghostship consisted of soul creatures only, and they wouldn’t need the magical potions that could enhance one’s physical strength.
Moreover, the captain and crew should be categorized as monsters, but they had dropped the Souls of Civilization. Could it have something to do with the fact that they had ransacked a settlement?
Maybe Ji Ye could find the answer to that question somewhere.
