"Is he finally dead?"
Zhao Futu felt a great relief in his heart, and suddenly found his limbs weak, causing him to fall to the ground. Only then did he notice a terrifying wound on his body, inflicted by the knives and swords thrown by Dong Min. The wound, three inches long, extended from his back to his waist. If he hadn't dodged in time, the blade would have split his skull!
Zhao Futu looked down at his gains and then smiled foolishly, muttering to himself, "As expected, the rewards from battlefield missions are much greater. I already have nearly 7000 survival points. If I sell the two bandit sets, I should be able to gather 10,000 survival points to fully upgrade all my basic skills."
"No wonder they say that completing a battlefield mission makes the main mission much easier. The rewards are almost equivalent to one or two main missions."
He got up, put away the silver key, and then began to examine the soul fragment in his space.
From the outside, it was just a faintly glowing golden orb, with a vague human figure visible inside, as if a soul was bound within. This无形中透露出了这个神秘空间的残酷性,那些被击杀生物死后所掉落的灵魂碎片。它的外表并不算是非常起眼,但是赵浮屠一看它的属性却是大吃一惊!
The attributes of the soul fragment were as follows:
"Dong Min (Two-Star Soul Fragment)." (Condition: Good.)
"Origin: The Yellow Turban Rebellion."
"Item Rarity: Gold."
"Material: Soul."
"Weight: 15 grams."
"Effect 1: Devour. Permanently increase Strength by 10 points, Agility by 5 points, and Vitality by 5 points. Activate the Soul Fragment's Bloodline, automatically locking the main battlefield to the Three Kingdoms era. Fusion requirement—Rule Body." [Contractor No. 1013 has an ordinary body and cannot fuse the Soul Fragment. Please upgrade to a Rule Body before attempting.]
"Effect 2: Summon Soul Fragment. The contractor can summon the Soul Fragment once per mission space, with the Soul Fragment's attributes at 60% of its original state, lasting for 10 minutes. Cost: 1000 survival points, Large Soul Fragment *1."
"Effect 3: Fusion, Forging, Absorption. The Soul Fragment can comprehensively upgrade certain equipment levels!"
"Evaluation: This is the Soul Fragment of the historical Three Kingdoms general Dong Min, containing a unique power specific to the Three Kingdoms plane. You can sell it to the space for 15,000 survival points, 1 D-grade Soul Crystal, and 10 Merit Points."
...
Zhao Futu looked at the data, his eyes revealing a hint of shock. Although he had already estimated that the Soul Fragment was valuable, he never expected it to be this valuable, especially the first devour effect, which almost comprehensively boosts the contractor's attributes, equivalent to the rewards of several space missions.
"Rule Body?" Zhao Futu looked at the words, deep in thought.
This was undoubtedly a special piece of information he had never encountered before. It was likely that the Rule Body was a secret the space had yet to reveal. The contractor's physical strength had already far exceeded that of ordinary people. If this continued, what level would it reach? The potential of the human body has its limits. According to his original estimate, the space could strengthen the body to the limit of human technology, which is the ability to lift two tons.
This is the limitation of the human body. To break this constraint, a change in the body itself is necessary.
His gaze swept over the last line. Although the rewards for selling it to the space were very rich, Zhao Futu undoubtedly abandoned the idea. Gold-rarity items had never appeared on the market, and the most rare were deep blue items. The value of such items was hard to estimate, and exchanging them with the space would definitely be a loss.
Moreover, the Soul Fragment had a summoning effect, which was very powerful even if used once per mission.
Zhao Futu was well aware of how terrifying the historical generals of the Three Kingdoms battlefield were. Even a third-rate general could crush a large number of contractors. This kind of assistance could often save lives and instantly turn the tide in critical moments. He would never sell it for a bit of immediate gain.
He stored Dong Min's Soul Fragment in his space and then focused on the silver key.
A silver key theoretically could open items or equipment of silver rarity or higher. If he was lucky, it might even open a gold-rarity item. However, Zhao Futu didn't believe he had such good luck. With his luck, which couldn't even find money on the street, getting a common silver-rarity item would be good enough.
He turned around and ordered the others to clean up the battlefield, then instructed the guards to cut off Dong Min's head to claim a reward from the Great Virtuous Teacher.
Although he now knew that this person was not Dong Zhuo but Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min, he couldn't immediately expose the truth. He had to wait until they reached the Yellow Turban camp for others to reveal it. This way, Zhao Futu's earlier lie about calling him Dong Zhuo and inciting the Yellow Turbans to fight to the death would be complete.
After all, they were brothers, so being mistaken for Dong Zhuo wasn't too far-fetched.
Zhao Futu could easily explain himself and then distribute the rewards from the Great Virtuous Teacher to them, slightly appeasing them.
Although Dong Min was not as powerful as Dong Zhuo, he was still a legitimate general. With the Yellow Turban forces in other provinces severely weakened, many leaders like Ma Yuanyi, Zhang Mancheng, and Zhao Hong had already been killed. At this time, the Yellow Turban forces were severely weakened, and the Great Virtuous Teacher Zhang Jue would not be stingy with rewards for Zhao Futu, who had killed a Han general.
Soon, he led his army toward the main camp of the Yellow Turbans.
Now, the Yellow Turban generals Zhang Jue, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang were gathered in the Julu and Guangzong regions. Yellow Turban followers from all over had gathered there, and the Yellow Turban forces had grown to hundreds of thousands. With the Great Virtuous Teacher Zhang Jue's victories over Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo, the Yellow Turbans now had the idea of formally marching south from Ji Province to engage the Han army in a decisive battle.
Zhao Futu's killing of Dong Min extended his stay in this plane to 15 days. If he was lucky, he might even catch the major battle between the Yellow Turbans and the Han army!
Such a large-scale battle with hundreds of thousands of participants was enough to make him feel incredibly excited just thinking about it.
