Chapter 69

Chapter 12: In Hand

Why did Ye Qi's sword skills suddenly become stronger?

Naturally, it was because of the system — Ye Qi's current skill in cold weapons was no longer at the proficient level but had reached the expert level!

When he heard the strange wolf mention that the statue appeared in the study on the left side of the hall, Ye Qi was taken aback — what did two attribute points represent? No one knew better than he, the beneficiary! The third statue was in the Thorn Tower of the Demon Hunter Headquarters, and he did not yet have the strength to retrieve it; but now the fourth statue was right in front of him, and with the Deco family, the owners, all dead, no one would pay attention to the disappearance of a statue...

Of course, Ye Qi could not casually walk into the study to take the statue under the watchful eyes of Jacob, the cold-faced man, and the newly appointed apostles — facing an enemy like the six-armed snake demon, if he did so, he would be telling everyone that there was something he wanted in the study!

How could he smoothly obtain the statue? Perhaps...

Ye Qi looked at the six-armed snake demon in the hall, and a somewhat risky idea suddenly came to mind — he couldn't walk in himself, but what if he was thrown into the study by the six-armed snake demon?

Although it was dangerous, it was worth a try!

Ye Qi hesitated slightly for a moment and then made his decision — if he didn't act now, after the battle, everything belonging to the Deco family would be inventoried by the Demon Hunter Guild, and the statue would naturally be sent back to the Demon Hunter Headquarters. Even through the reappeared statue, the Thorn Tower might discover some secrets of the statue — he, who was already closely related to the statue and the strange wolf, absolutely could not let this happen! Even if the Demon Hunters were obsessed with power, they would not accept a fellow who had made a pact with a demon!

For the Demon Hunters, these former fellows were now their targets! And Ye Qi understood that if his secret was discovered, his fate would be even worse — a powerful demon was feared, but a weak demon was coveted, and controlling a weak demon to serve oneself was not impossible for some powerful humans.

As for him, the "container"? Even if it wasn't a soul pact, after the strange wolf was forcibly "extracted," he would suffer great damage, most likely becoming a fool or an idiot...

Therefore, since he was just a container, once the contents were removed, the container, having no further use, would naturally meet its deserved fate — the stake, wouldn't it be just right? Even if the one burned to death was just a fool or an idiot.

Ye Qi could even imagine the tragic scene of being tied to the stake — a fool or an idiot looking around blankly at the pile of firewood at his feet, then being doused with gasoline...

The stake?

Ye Qi sneered, and in the next moment, he opened his attribute panel, his gaze falling on the skills section — the six swords in the six-armed snake demon's hands were not for show; if he wanted to be "knocked back" safely rather than being dismembered, it would be best to upgrade his skill in cold weapons to a higher level as insurance.

He casually spent the skill points, upgrading his cold weapons proficiency to the next level: Cold Weapons Expert. However, to his surprise, this upgrade to the expert level cost him a total of twenty-four skill points! That meant that upgrading from proficient to expert required fifty skill points, not thirty!

"Skill Cold Weapons Proficiency reaches 50, skill upgraded to Cold Weapons Expert..."

"Cold Weapons Expert: countless battles have honed your ability to work with the weapons in your hands. Effect: 30% increase in power when using cold weapons."

Although he only had one skill point left, which made Ye Qi feel a bit heartbroken, the feeling of the Yama Blade in his hand becoming even more fluid and powerful, and the thought of the two attribute points he was about to gain, made his heart burn with excitement again. The Yama Blade in his hand became even sharper, forcing back the six-armed snake demon's swords once more.

Even when Ye Qi's skill in cold weapons was still at the proficient level, he had the instincts of an excellent swordsman; and now, with the upgrade to expert, Ye Qi had become a first-class swordsman, able to draw his blade as swiftly as lightning and swing it like a whirlwind.

Therefore, even facing the six-armed snake demon's six swords, he could still hold his own! Even with the help of various enhancement spells, he could steadily suppress the six-armed snake demon. However, this was not what Ye Qi needed; what he wanted was the statue in the study.

"Whoosh!"

A coffee table in the hall suddenly flew up, heading straight for Ye Qi, who was just about to swing his sword.

Telekinesis? Perfect!

Ye Qi looked at the six-armed snake demon's slightly blue eyes and smiled inwardly — he was currently in the upper hand and could not "borrow the momentum" to go to the study; only such a "sudden" event would work.

He deliberately slowed his attack, stepping back two steps to pretend to avoid the flying coffee table, while the opponent pressed forward relentlessly. Ye Qi retreated, and the opponent pursued, the roles of attacker and defender temporarily reversed.

"Clang!"

After dodging another piece of flying furniture, the six-armed snake demon's six swords suddenly fell together, striking Ye Qi's Yama Blade. The six forces landing simultaneously made Ye Qi's shoulder sink, and he took advantage of the situation to step back, as if he were retreating due to lack of strength.

Ye!

Seeing Ye Qi "dangerously" dodge several attacks and finally fail to dodge this one, his companions all cried out in alarm, ready to rush over; Ye Qi, of course, could not let them come, and immediately shouted, "Don't come over, keep the six-armed snake demon at bay!"

"Whoosh!"

At the same time, to block the pursuing six-armed snake demon and to show that he was fine, Ye Qi raised his hand and unleashed a Burning Hand, using the force of the conical flame to smoothly fall into the study on the left side of the hall.

"The statue is behind the general history on the fifth shelf of the second bookcase from the left!"

As soon as Ye Qi fell into the study, the strange wolf directly pointed out the location of the statue.

"Ding! Obtained Magic Statue..."

"Item Magic Statue disappeared, Constitution +2..."

Seeing the statue disappear and hearing the system's prompt, Ye Qi's heart finally relaxed. Especially feeling the increase in his constitution, which made him even more delighted — among the five attributes, the one Ye Qi most wanted and was most lacking in was constitution!

"Got the statue! Kid, you did well!" The strange wolf would not praise Ye Qi without reason; usually, saying this meant he had a request. Indeed, the strange wolf continued, "Help me take out that six-armed snake demon, and I'll tell you a secret about your body. How about it?"

A secret? What secret? Could it be that they discovered I'm a穿越附体 (穿越附体 means "穿越" (chuanchuo) which translates to "穿越" (chuanchuo) meaning "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越" (chuanchuo) "穿越
