One force can overcome ten techniques.
The dried corpse that Yamamoto Ichiro had struggled with for so long to kill was taken care of by Qin Mian with just two blows of his bone.
what……
Just then, Scarlett gasped, as if she had been pulled from drowning, and sat up abruptly, her chest heaving as she gasped for breath.
Her blonde hair was soaked with cold sweat, with a few strands clinging to her pale cheeks and neck. Her eyes were filled with a dazed and terrified look, as if she had just experienced a nightmare that had exhausted all her mental energy.
Qin Mian looked at her, unable to tell whether the woman was acting or genuine.
Scarlett took a while to catch her breath. She looked at the body lying on the ground with lingering fear, then at Qin Mian, her eyes filled with a mixture of gratitude and complex emotions. Her voice was slightly hoarse: "Qin...did you save me again?"
Qin Mian narrowed his eyes, his tone laced with undisguised sarcasm: "Yeah, so what? How are you planning to repay me this time? Another 'offering yourself' hypnotic drama?"
Scarlett felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, but she pretended that nothing had happened and gratefully said to Qin Mian:
"Qin, thank you, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have already been corrupted by the will of that dried corpse!"
Qin Mian scoffed and ignored her.
"Where's Yamamoto Ichiro?" Scarlett asked, not seeing Yamamoto Ichiro.
Qin Mian said, "They ran away!"
"He ran away? With such a big storm outside, where could he have run to?" Scarlett asked in surprise.
Qin Mian shook his head, "I don't know, but this guy's ninjutsu is indeed quite something."
Scarlett frowned slightly. "Just now...did he reveal any special abilities he acquired in the dungeon?"
Qin Mian shook his head again, "No, they only revealed some ninja abilities and some tools."
"Oh, that's a real shame!" Scarlett said with some regret.
"Qin, I apologize again for what happened before, but I hope you can understand me. I'm just a pretty face, and I was only trying to protect myself. Besides, I did my best to keep that dried-up corpse from attacking you!" Scarlett said.
Qin Mian was surprised. He had been wondering why the dried corpse hadn't attacked him but had instead focused on attacking Yamamoto Ichiro. Now he understood.
Of course, Qin Mian wouldn't completely believe Scarlett's words.
"Forget it, let's not dwell on the past. Let's get some rest!"
Qin Mian walked to the side.
"Sigh..." Scarlett could only sigh helplessly at Qin Mian's attitude.
"Did I do something wrong?" she murmured, seemingly regretting what she had done to Qin Mian.
Qin Mian opened the dungeon introduction page directly, and was immediately delighted upon seeing it.
Sure enough, his contribution rate had exceeded 50%, reaching 51%.
[Congratulations on unlocking the 50% contribution achievement for the current dungeon for the first time! You are granted one chance to draw a prize. (The prizes are all items and abilities available in the current dungeon.)]
Qin Mian's breathing became rapid, and he chose to extract the sample directly.
On the virtual panel in front of them, a magnificent treasure chest, carved with strange snake patterns and seemingly made of obsidian, appeared out of thin air, slowly opened, and burst forth with dazzling light.
[Congratulations! You have obtained the A-grade item, the Serpent's Eye Scimitar of the Queen of Jingjue.]
[The Serpent-Eyed Curved Blade of the Queen of Jingjue: This blade is crafted from rare 'Serpent Blood Iron' found deep within the Ghost Cave. Forged by the top craftsmen of the ancient city of Jingjue, it underwent a secret ritual upon completion, imbuing it with a faint aura of ancient serpent god power and the royal will of the Queen of Jingjue. The blade possesses extraordinary power, capable of cutting through iron like mud, and has an additional restraining effect on evil spirits and corpse-like entities. It can also serve as a token of identity. Discover its many other functions for yourself.]
Grade A item?
This was Qin Mian's first time encountering dungeon items, and he had no idea that items were graded, but the letter "A" usually represented high-grade items, so it shouldn't be bad.
Moreover, judging from the description, it seems quite impressive.
After all, the Snake God has always been the biggest boss in the background of the entire Ghost Blows Out the Light series. This knife is imbued with the Snake God's power, so it must be extraordinary.
Most importantly, he didn't even have a single weapon in this dungeon, so getting a scimitar is like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
Qin Mian turned his back and took out his curved sword.
This scimitar is only about the length of an adult's forearm. Its scabbard is inlaid with all sorts of colorful gems, making it look incredibly valuable, but it has a somewhat tacky feel to it.
Putting everything else aside, if Qin Mian could take this scabbard out, it would definitely fetch an astronomical price, allowing him to experience a qualitative leap in his quality of life.
"This Queen Jingjue is really extravagant, but her taste is just so-so. With so many gems, she gives off a nouveau riche vibe!" Qin Mian muttered to himself.
The hilt was cast in the shape of a coiled serpent, with its head raised as a guard and its mouth slightly open, revealing the blade about to be drawn.
The most peculiar thing is that in the center of the snake's head, there is a raised, fleshy carving. In the center of the fleshy carving is an oval ruby that is as red as blood and has a slightly flowing luster as if it is alive. It looks just like the cold vertical pupil of a snake. If you stare at it for a long time, you will have the illusion that your mind will be sucked in.
Qin Mian gripped the hilt and drew the sword.
The knife was dark red all over, as if it had been stained with the venom of a viper. Its blade gleamed coldly, captivating the eye.
Near the hilt of the blade, there were several strange, twisted, snake-like runes engraved on it, none of which Qin Mian recognized.
"A fine knife..."
Although he didn't know much about knives, Qin Mian could tell at a glance that this knife was definitely extraordinary.
He picked up a piece of bone that had just broken, then cleaved it with his knife. A flash of dark red light passed by, and with almost no resistance, the bone was silently broken in two, the cut as smooth as a mirror.
"Such a sharp knife..."
Qin Mian liked it more and more the more he looked at it.
After playing with the knife for a while, he hid it away and tried to avoid using it whenever possible.
Because once it's used, others might be able to deduce from the knife that he has already received a reward.
The sandstorm outside continued, and Qin Mian gradually fell into a light sleep. He didn't know how much time had passed when he suddenly heard Andreev shouting outside.
"Scarlett, Qin Mian, Yamamoto Ichiro, are you there?" His voice was loud, instantly waking Qin Mian up.
Scarlett, sitting opposite her, also sat up sleepily and exclaimed with delight, "It's Andreev's voice! He's alright..."
Qin Mian hurriedly looked outside. The sky was just beginning to lighten, but the earth tornado had long since passed, leaving only a small wisp of sand howling.
"Let's go out and take a look!" Qin Mian strode out.
As soon as they went outside, they saw Andriff carrying a wild goat and shouting loudly in the distance. Beside him were Alice, Park Gook-chang, Aku-ku, and Kia, among others.
Except for Yamamoto Ichiro, all of these people managed to escape the tornado unscathed.
This surprised Qin Mian.
