Chapter 169 - Obtaining the Talent of the Spirit Vehicle!
Chapter 169: Obtaining the Talent of the Spirit Vehicle!
They walked through the night under Gran’s lead towards the tent for light injuries.
At this moment, the other lightly injured soldiers had already returned to their respective teams.
Therefore, in the huge tent, only Song Kuaidi was lying on the bed.
With his Civilization Archive confiscated, he had nothing to do but stare at the top of the tent in a daze.
His thoughts raced.
“Song Kuaidi, the lord is here,” Gran said calmly from afar.
“The lord?” Song Kuaidi looked happy and sat up from the bed.
He acted as if nothing had happened, but he was actually panicking in his heart.
In the beginning, he had cooperated with Xu Yuan and came up with some small schemes and tricks to kill Lin Ye and take everything from him.
However, before his plan could come to fruition, it was ruined by Lin Ye with the help of the Four Sacred Halls.
Before Xu Yuan could even use most of his abilities, he was already dead.
Even he was dragged down and became a prisoner.
Other than that, he could not be sure if Lin Ye was thinking of killing him to silence him or if he simply wanted his talent.
Concluding from that, in order to survive, he could only use the secrets of the ancient ruins that Xu Yuan had explored when he was alive as his gambling chip.
He firmly believed that as long as Lin Ye was an ambitious person, he would definitely not let a peerless treasure like the ancient ruins go.
As expected, Lin Ye arrived as planned.
“Greetings, Lord Lin Ye. I’m Song Kuaidi. Nice to meet you.”
Song Kuaidi had a good attitude. He quickly stood up and said humbly,
“There’s no need to be polite with me. Please sit down and talk.”
Lin Ye nodded and went straight to the point. “I heard that you have a secret to tell me?”
“Yes, that is true.”
Song Kuaidi nodded and looked at Priest Gran beside Lin Ye from the corner of his eye. He said solemnly, “This matter is of utmost importance. I hope to only talk to the Lord alone.”
“How fragile.” Priest Gran couldn’t help but curse.
“Forget it, don’t stoop to his level. Go out first. I’ll listen to you. If you can’t satisfy me, I’ll avenge you.”
Lin Ye smiled and dismissed Priest Gran.
“Speak. There are only the two of us left now. There’s no need to worry about your safety.”
“If I talk, can you spare my life?” Song Kuaidi begged.
“That will depend on the value of your secret. If it’s enough, not only will I spare your life, I will also give you an opportunity.” Lin Ye smiled with narrowed eyes.
Upon hearing that, Song Kuaidi heaved a sigh of relief.
Ever since he was helped out last night, he had been feeling uneasy, afraid that he would accidentally step behind Xu Yuan’s shoes.
Now that he heard Lin Ye personally promise him, he was filled with confidence. He quickly said, “I know the location of an ancient ruin. It was that fellow, Xu Yuan, who discovered it. With the Eye of Luck, he discovered a map of the ancient ruins. In order to fool everyone, he even dismissed all his subordinates and sneaked into the dark fog alone to search for treasures.”
“He didn’t know but I’ve always been guarding against him. After entering that strange land, I drove my spirit vehicle and followed him.”
“That’s a little weird. Xu Yuan’s Eye of Luck didn’t discover you?”
Lin Ye raised his eyebrows. After controlling the Eye of Luck, he deeply understood how terrifying this ability was.
The Eye of Luck could peer into the dark fog, as well as peek at one’s aura.
Even if the other party was skilled in concealment, it was difficult for them to escape the fate of being locked onto.
At a glance, as long as the said thing had life force, there would be halos of light with varying strengths and weaknesses.
This kind of thing could not be avoided. Probably only some special protection could block it.
But clearly, in the early stages of the zombie wave, only a few people could have such an item.
For example, the ‘little mice’ hiding around his territory.
“My lord, you might not know, but this has to do with my talent.”
As he spoke, a thought flashed through Song Kuaidi’s mind and a green spirit vehicle appeared beside him.
He smiled and said, “My lord, I’ll sit in there now. Try and see if you can see my luck.”
Moments later, Song Kuaidi entered the car.
A wisp of a golden glow arose in Lin Ye’s eyes.
In front of him, Song Kuaidi seemed to have vanished into thin air.
He was clearly there if he looked with his naked eye, but when he used the Eye of Luck, he could not detect the other party’s aura at all.
“Your spirit vehicle can cover luck traces?” Lin Ye was speechless. This was the first time he had seen such a strange talent.
“I guess so. An awakened with a spirit carriage can see it. Dead things avoid the vehicle. Once I enter the carriage, the aura of the living will be concealed. Unless the person’s level is far above mine, or if their talent is far above mine, if I focus on hiding, people of the same level will not be able to find me.”
Song Kuaidi said confidently, “It’s precisely because of this that I can keep following Xu Yuan and discover these secret ancient ruins.”
“Interesting, continue,” Lin Ye said.
Song Kuaidi nodded. “The ancient ruin is similar to a dojo left behind by Daoists. There are many ancient weapons and talismans inside. The most ordinary ones are the talismans Xu Yuan used in your previous battle.”
“You mean, the talisman shield that can block my high explosive grenades and the Phoenix Spear?” Lin Ye narrowed his eyes, secretly jumping for joy.
Of course, he remembered about that incident.
He was very interested in those magical talismans. They were similar to the cultivation system, something that could only be encountered by chance but not sought after.
Once he obtained the precious treasures within, he might be able to cultivate something different through correlation.
This was evident from Tru family’s secret battle aura manual, The Twelve Zodiacs.
“That’s right. Most of Xu Yuan’s treasures were stolen from that ancient ruin. He’s not strong, but the Eye of Luck is powerful. It can exorcise evil and avoid dangers, allowing him to roam freely in the ancient ruins. Unfortunately, in the end, luck alone is not enough. It was too dangerous and that fellow temporarily gave up on exploring.”
As Song Kuaidi spoke, he did not forget to bootlick. “However, the lord is peerless in his martial arts and is definitely not someone a small fry like Xu Yuan can compare to. A high-level treasure land like the ancient ruins must have been prepared for someone like you.”
“It seems that I’ve underestimated the power of the Eye of Luck.”
Lin Ye couldn’t help but laugh.
After obtaining this talent, he originally only wanted to use it to search for people or gauge from their luck if one was a talent to be hired.
He never thought that this talent could actually be useful in the ancient ruins raiding industry. Furthermore, what he said made sense.
This reminded him of those tomb raiders from China.
What determining the spot with gold, Feng Shui secret techniques, weren’t those all related to luck?
However, it was more direct for him.
Xu Yuan’s luck was pretty good. After wandering aimlessly in the dark fog, he was able to discover the ancient ruins so quickly through his Eye of Luck.
Did he find a map? Or was there another reason?
With regards to this, the other party was already dead and there was no evidence, making him regretful.
“There are still many things that are worth exploring with the Eye of Luck. However, these are off-topic. The reason I’m looking for you is to work together. If you can accept me, with us in a lord-subordinate relationship, in the future, all the ancient ruins in this world will not escape our grasp.”
At this point, a fanatic expression appeared on Song Kuaidi’s face. He said, “My lord, please trust me this once!”
“Trust your ass. After all that talk, you still haven’t told me the exact location.”
Lin Ye glanced at him sideways. How could he not know what he was planning? However, he was too lazy to pursue the matter.
“Hurry up and offer your loyalty. After dealing with you, I still have to meet another thorn.”
With that, he casually grabbed the Civilization Archive belonging to Song Kuaidi from his interspatial ring and threw it to him.
Only his loyalists could get their Civilization Archives back.
That was his rule. Otherwise, they could only set a fixed time every day and chat with their family under the surveillance.
“Immediately. My lord, give me a second.”
Song Kuaidi took his Civilization Archive and was overjoyed.
He could finally become a loyalist after waiting from last night until today.
He carefully observed the situation within the territory. It seemed like they were all doing pretty well.
The atmosphere here was unrestrained and free from danger. It was especially suitable for his carefree personality.
It was much safer than following that bastard Xu Yuan everywhere.
A moment later, the system sent him a piece of good news.
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. The human lord, Song Kuaidi, has willingly given up his status as a human lord. He has offered 100% of his loyalty to become your loyalist. Please treat him well!”
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have obtained a Spirit Vehicle talent fragment offered by your loyalist!”
