Chapter 801 The Same Answer, But Different Treatment
In good conscience, Xiao Chengfeng knew that there was a high probability that he would not have the courage, but since the toy man said he could, then who was he to argue with him? He had some guesses in his heart that his good luck could be attributed to Little Fox…or to be more accurate, the expert! ‘Hahaha, I bet the others are dying with jealousy! This is definitely a benefit of having friends in high places.’ He grinned and set his eyes on the treasures floating above his head. In the end, he chose a golden Origins Ultimate Treasure ring that could attack and trap his opponents. He could combine it with his swordsmanship to make his attacks even more lethal.
Nanan and the others may turn their noses up on Origins Ultimate Treasures, but for Xiao Chengfeng, the gold ring was definitely something he never dreamed he could one day get his hands on. As for the other parties, they nearly cussed their hearts out when they saw what Xiao Chengfeng received.
‘It’s either a divine lightning bolt or a fierce beast for the others, so what makes him so special that he not only didn’t wake up the beast but got an Ultimate Treasure in return? Can someone tell me how this all works? Is this even logical?’
“It’s your turn.” The toy man was not interested in their opinions. He pointed at Master Wind, causing him to jolt and almost piss his pants. It was as if the grim reaper himself had called on him. He was sure that he would not be as lucky as Xiao Chengfeng.
However, it is obviously impossible not to play, so he could only bite the bullet. The dice he threw landed on the number four. After four steps forward, he landed in a swamp. Immediately, his heart jumped out of his throat in fear that something terrifying would kill him there and then.
“Unfortunately, you’re stuck in a deep swamp, rendering you immobile. You’ll have to skip your next turn.”
‘That’s it?’ Master Wind started to sob with relief. Then, he laughed and said, “Wahahah, this means I’ll be safe at my next turn, too! This is great! Lucky me!”
It was better to not move in that stupid game. Who knew what would be waiting for him if he moved? The others cast envious glances at him as the game continued.
It was the turn of the only remaining lone cultivator. After he nervously rolled the dice, the number finally stopped at six. A pool of water appeared in front of him.
“Whoa!” The river was surging. A golden ax emerged from the water and appeared in front of him. “This is a…a…a fifth-grade Origins Ultimate Treasure!” The lone cultivator’s pupils suddenly dilated, unable to move his gaze from the golden ax at all.
Although he was a third-step Wisdom Elite, the best treasure on him was just a first-grade Origins Ultimate Treasure that he got by chance, while the one in front of him was actually a fifth-grade Origins Ultimate Treasure. How could he not be excited?
“Hahaha! Lady Luck’s finally smiling down at me. I can’t believe I got this kind of reward on my first turn. This game might be the point where I turn things around!
“Is this divine ax the treasure you dropped in the water?” asked the toy man.
“Yes, yes, yes, it’s mine!” The lone cultivator nodded vigorously and greedily extended his hand toward the ax.
“No, you’re lying! You’ll suffer the wrath of the heaven-splitting ax!” The heaven-splitting ax suddenly shone brightly, manifesting a golden battle spirit in the form of a brawny man who slashed at the lone cultivator’s head with an ax in his hand.
“I’m sorry! Please, don’t kill me!” The lone cultivator’s emotions went directly from great joy to great sorrow, so frightened that his heart jumped out of his throat. He tried to fight back but it was to no avail. In no time at all, he was cut down by the ax.
The others shook their heads secretly and clicked their tongues. “This game is so unpredictable. The fact that we have no say in our fate makes it even more exciting!’ They made a mental note to themselves to always remain on high alert. Even so, that did not prevent them from meeting all kinds of accidents in the game. The elder of the Ascension Sect accidentally ate the poisonous fairy grass, and his spiritual cultivation went directly from the third-step to the first-step Wisdom Elite while the elder of the Shinto Pavilion was burnt to ashes by heavenly divine flame.
When it was Yang Jing’s turn, he fell into a burrow and saw the skeletons of two skilled cultivators. It was obvious the two of them had died fighting each other since the treasures in their hands were still glowing.
Yang Jing then gained two Origins Treasures!
Next, it was Master Fire’s turn. He arrived at a river and the same question was asked of him. A treasure flew out of the water and the toy man asked if it was he who dropped it. With the lesson learned, he hurriedly denied, passing the round unharmed.
Master Wind and Master Fire smiled at the same time. They were extremely lucky compared to the Shinto Pavilion and Ascension Sect. Not only did they not die, but they did not even get injured. It was a blessing in misfortune.
Afterward, the toy man cast his gaze at Dragin. It was her turn. Everyone else also turned their attention to her. From the previous rounds, they could tell that Nanan’s group’s luck was simply astronomical, which was completely incomprehensible to everyone else.
The game should be called the game of death, and yet without fail, Xiao Chengfeng and Yang Jing obtained treasures effortlessly which made the others seeth with anger at the preferential treatment. Therefore, they could not help but wonder what exactly Dragin would encounter this time.
“It’s my turn!” Dragin rolled the dice in a relaxed manner and she got the number three.
“Three steps forward!” said the toy man. She bounced forward and came to the same river. Immediately, everyone silently shook their heads and sighed. It seemed that she got lucky, too, because everyone knew how it would all go. She would be fine as long as she told the truth.
Sure enough, a glowing spear floated out.
“Little girl, is this the treasure you lost?” asked the toy man.
Dragin shook her head and answered honestly, “It’s not mine.”
“What an honest child. I shall give you this spear as your reward.”
Everyone was dumbfounded. Even Master Fire was beginning to question his life. How was his answer any different than hers? Why did he not get the spear? Could the toy man make it any more obvious that he was playing favorites?
However, Dragin had no interest in the spear. She only wanted fruit trees, so she shook her head and said, “No, thank you.”
Whoosh! Another treasure sprang out of the water again. “This river is sorry if the first treasure wasn’t good enough. It’s willing to add another one for you to accept it. Do you want it?”
Still, Dragin shook her head.
Whoosh! Another treasure sprang out.
