I Am Loaded with Passive Skills - Chapter 1437

1437 Gift From the Universe 1

The sky was bright.

In the vast kingdom of Giants, the three human figures on the long street seemed so small and insignificant.

“Finally, I’ve managed to escaped from that accursed place!”

The old man Elder Xie who walked with a limp and was dressed in ragged clothes, clutched the dark, withered branch tightly in his hand. There was still a trace of gloom and horror on his face, but there was also a trace of joy in his eyes that he managed to survive this disaster.

!!
He would never forget that eerie place where a red moon hung in the sky and the mountain of corpses piled up high in the Blood Sea, in his entire life.

Especially the seven tall Blood Trees in the middle of the Blood Sea, and the terrifying corpses that hung from the branches. It was truly a nightmare within a nightmare!

If it wasn’t for the fact that he managed to flee for his life and had mastered some mental defense techniques…

Elder Xie believed that even with his higher void level, he would most likely have ended up like those guys who had been tempted and became skeletons that hung from the Blood Tree.

“Alright, it’s good that we were able to escape.”

“We’re so far away. I don’t think those ghostly things can find us.”

Ghost Granny who stood beside him was hunched over and she panted heavily. Through her torn clothes, one could see her mangled flesh and blood, as well as the ugly scars that still oozed pus, but were already on the verge of healing.

Ghost Granny didn’t care.

This was the price one paid to live. It was good that she didn’t lose her life.

She held a dead branch in her hand too. After she panted for breath, she gently stroked the dead branch from top to bottom as if it was a treasure. Then, she raised her face and said gloomily, “Reverend Huang Yang, remember what you said back in the Blood World! This time, you all owe me a favor, a huge favor!”

“Hehehe hehe hehe,” Reverend Huang Yang laughed, his face pale, but his exuberant mood could not be contained.

“Don’t worry, I’m not like you Three Incenses assassins. One of the principles of our sect is honesty. You saved my life this time, and I’ll definitely repay you in the future.” Reverend Huang Yang solemnly promised, his eyes fixed on the strange blood-red bead in his hands, as a vague red light flashed from the bottom of his eyes.

“How many years have we been friends?” Elder Xie chuckled as he looked at Ghost Granny, unable to see any other internal emotion. “We’ve worked together for so many years. You should trust me. At least I won’t kill you and steal your treasures.”

In the world of assassins, Elder Xie, Ghost Granny and Little Ninja, this ‘family of three’ were infamous.

If it had been anyone else, they might really have killed each other after the tribulation, but Ghost Granny and Elder Xie knew that it wouldn’t be good for either of them to hurt each other.

Furthermore, they had gotten an even score this time.

The Blood Tree’s Yin Branch!

They had risked their lives in the nine extreme grounds of the Blood World and each of them had one of the Blood Tree’s Yin Branch that they had broken off from the seven illusory Blood Trees. There was no unfair distribution.

The matter about the killing after the tribulation…

Elder Xie and Ghost Granny looked at each other and then at Reverend Huang Yang.

“What are you up to?” Reverend Huang Yang’s Perception was very sharp. He immediately looked away from the blood-red bead in his hand and stared vigilantly at the two people in front of him.

“Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem… Elder Xie coughed twice and said weakly, “It’s nothing. I’m just curious. What exactly is this thing that you risked your life to snatch?”

Ghost Granny also looked over curiously.

After being transported from the Deep Sea to the Sky City, the seven higher void levels gathered together and landed in the Blood World.

After struggling for more than a day in the Blood Sea, the seven of them finally became three when the other four higher void levels were all devoured by the Blood Tree.

In the end, Ghost Granny managed to break free of the restraints with the help of a secret soul art. After she heard the desperate pleas of Elder Xie and Reverend Huang Yang, she also helped them escape successfully.

She and Elder Xie each got the Blood Tree’s Yin Branch, but Reverend Huang Yang did not get anything.

When the last wave from the Blood Tree’s attack came, she and Elder Xie had already started to run. However, Reverend Huang Yang had turned around and rushed into the midst of the Blood Sea, dug out this blood-colored bead, and then successfully escaped with the two of them.

It had to be said that this Daoist priest was really greedy!

However, he succeeded in his greed. Ghost Granny was impressed and told him. Under these circumstances, her life mattered more. It would have been impossible for her to turn back!

“Ha.” Reverend Huang Yang only chuckled when he heard this. “The two of you have escaped from death and even managed to obtain the Blood Tree’s Yin Branch. If I ran out with you without getting anything, wouldn’t I have wasted this life-and-death trip?”

Elder Xie laughed eerily, but his attention was not diverted. He continued to stare at the blood bead with a burning gaze and said, “So, what is this?”

“I’m not sure,” Reverend Huang Yang shook his head, “I can’t get the Blood Tree’s Yin Branch, but I had to find something, right?” Although I don’t know what it is, I can feel that it is at least a treasure at the higher void level. Who knows, once I figure out its use, I might be able to obtain a Saint opportunity from it?”

“Hey!” After a self-mocking remark, Reverend Huang Yang put away the bead and laughed, “Actually, if we really want to do a comparison, my bead is definitely not as good as your Blood Tree’s Yin Branch, but it’s better than nothing, isn’t it?”

Elder Xie and Ghost Granny laughed at the same time.

These words were certainly true. The Blood Tree’s Yin Branch had been broken off from the Blood Tree, one of the Nine Great Ancestral Trees. The increase in combat strength was extremely terrifying.

What could be better than this in this world?

When they saw that Reverend Huang Yang did not elaborate further, the two assassins didn’t ask any more questions.

After they recovered from the previous horrifying experience, Elder Xie sized up the unfamiliar ancient city and asked, “So, what are your plans now?”
