Seized by the System

Chapter 717: Gravel

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Unwittingly, it had been half a month since Vigilante A entered the Land of Sanguinity.

Other people would not be able to continue battling like this and would need to consume the reserved supplies in their Interspatial Equipment for food and water to restore their physical strength. They would also need a certain period of rest and sleep to restore energy and attention.

However, to him, there was no such concern.

The supplementary capability of the Dragonization Ability where he would not go hungry for a year after eating one full meal guaranteed unlimited physical strength.

Since Sir System was in control, and it was a System that did not have energy or attention, it would always be accurate.

Therefore, in the River of Blood, the System’s naturally had the highest efficiency compared to others when it came to fighting and killing.

On this day, Fang Ning was currently studying a map with Anderson in the Dragonic Penitentiary Warden’s office.

The map was full of crisscrossing lines. It was a map of the Land of Sanguinity.

After half a month of exploration, this arcane realm was finally fully explored.

It was different from the Land of Heritage, where the Truth Department had fully explored beforehand. With all the geographical and cultural information already available, there was no need for Vigilante A to start all over again.

However, the USA had been the first to explore this place. Due to it being a special arcane realm, there was no complete information, and Vigilante A could only start from scratch.

After half a month’s work, he finally succeeded.

On the map, the crisscrossing red lines were the main stream and tributary of the River of Blood, which covered almost the entire arcane realm.

At a glance, it really did look like the blood vessels of a human.

The entire arcane realm was shaped by hills and forests to the West, plains to the East, and the River of Blood from West to East, which finally converged into a large lake in one part of the plains.

However, the area of the lake had obviously shrunk over the past few days, and on the contrary, the middle section of the River of Blood had bulged like an aortic aneurysm.

“Look, we are currently located in the West of the arcane realm, in the upper reaches of the River of Blood. The alchemists are located in the middle of the arcane realm, in the middle section of the River of Blood. This bulge is only three hundred kilometers away from us. It’s very near.” Anderson strategized while looking at the map.

However, because they had just failed in their speculation once, Sir System did not believe him very much...

“Those alchemists look like fish back in water...” Fang Ning said faintly.

“Uh, please forgive me, I previously neglected an important problem. This land has its own matured consciousness, and this group of alchemists seems to be in accordance with it. Therefore, unknown changes occurred.” Anderson hastened to explain themselves.

“Great minds think alike. I think so too. This world is in its mature period. Unlike other arcane realms, it has its own definite will. The closing of the entrance proves it.” Fang Ning frowned.

“Exactly. Moreover, I recently concluded that there’s great conflict between how we and the land itself does things. It is cruel, merciless, and leaves no margin for error. It’s poles apart from the path of love and justice that the Venerable One pursues. We must be fully prepared to defend against the worst.” Anderson said solemnly.

“Yes, that’s very important. You’re quite conscientious. Keep up the good work.” Fang Ning nodded and took a final look at the map before leaving the Draconic Penitentiary.

“Yes, I’ll persist in digging out all the secrets of this arcane realm.” Anderson hurriedly agreed, because this was the whole meaning of their existence.

Right now, they were equivalent to a brain that accepts external informational input, processes the results, and fed them back to the two Venerable Ones.

After leaving, Fang Ning hurriedly said to the System, “This is bad. Our true opponent isn’t that William.”

“Then who is?” The System asked lazily.

“Of course it’s this group of evil alchemists. I think the arcane realm didn’t know their value in the past, but after they started establishing the Astral Formation and refining those souls with sinister methods, they met the root objective of this arcane realm, because it absorbs the souls of the deceased of this world and uses it to strengthen itself. When those alchemists entered, they played the role of the ‘gravel’ that enters the gastrointestinal tract of hens, helping it digest and absorb those souls so that it doesn’t have to resort to the inefficient method of reincarnating after killing. It obtained a highly efficient method instead.” Fang Ning hurriedly said.

“No wonder Anderson’s judgment was wrong. Looks like the reason why their formation worked was that the Heavenly Axiom of this arcane realm opened a backdoor for them! Damn it, I’ve always been good to people and am supported by many because of that. Who would’ve thought that I’d be restricted everywhere after entering this place, but it would be those evil people who are like fish back in water and complement each other well? They collude with each other to refine human souls. I have to get rid of them quickly!” Sir System said furiously.

“Yep, so stop farming experience points for now and go watch them closely. They’re the ones that are troublesome.” Fang Ning instructed.

“Ugh, although the experience points here have decreased, it’ll be such a waste if I don’t farm them...” Sir System killed a carp monster in massing and said reluctantly.

“Look at you. You always cherish your body when doing big things, but forget your life when seeing small profits. This is exactly the time where you need to focus. You keep looking at these sea monsters in front of you but ignore those alchemists. When they succeed, we’ll definitely meet with a catastrophe.” Fang Ning said sternly.

“Fine, I’ll do it. What’re you losing your temper for?” Sir System said, embarrassed.

“Hmph, just go already. Won’t you know who’s in charge if I don’t nag at you?” Fang Ning snapped.

“Of course it’s me.” Sir System said with conviction.

“Get lost.” Fang Ning was speechless.

Thus, Vigilante A came out of the water and sped East along the river.

This scene fell into the eyes of Qiao Zijiang, who was not far away guarding her brother and uncle.

“Hm? What’s the Venerable Dragon God doing now?” She secretly wondered.

Then, she turned her eyes back into the river.

There, Qiao Anping and Qiao Zishan were currently in a desperate fight. Every move and action seemed to be entirely instinctive and required no thought at all.

This was the so-called ‘highest quality’.

“This place really is the best place to improve yourself.” Qiao Zijiang sighed, “What a shame that it just doesn’t suit me. It’s better to let Long Fan and the others enter.”

“The hell, you lost your memories, but you still remember me!” The Stygian Snake Long Fan, who had been lazing around to the side suddenly became alert and said gloomily.

“Heh, I’ve already figured out the rule of this land when it comes to sealing of memories. The more unimportant something is, the more you won’t forget. It’ll only make you forget the important people and items.”Qiao Zijiang smiled.

“Oh, so I’m one of those unimportant things in your memories...” Long Fang understood and immediately became dissatisfied, “How many times have I gone through fire and water for you? How could you be like this? It really is too hurtful. You don’t have feelings at all. In the future when you send yourself off to your death, don’t remember me.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely remember you.” Qiao Zijiang affirmed. “I suggest you take this opportunity and train in the river. According to my observation, killing the sea monsters in that river can greatly enhance the strength of your soul.”

“Hiss... Why didn’t you say so earlier about such great benefits?” Long Fang muttered and quickly went to the river.

“I’ve already said it before. Killing in this place will let you gain power, but you were afraid of death and didn’t dare to enter the river. Even that Xu Rui entered the river to cultivate. He’s barely been seen these few days, and he was riddled in scars when he came back ashore. Had it not been for those treasures that took turns to protect him, he would already be dead three times over.”

At this time, Long Fan already reached the river. It saw the countless black shadows in the river and grew afraid again.

“Forget it, I’ll obediently stay on dry land. Besides, I can always rely on Big Brother’s pills to strengthen my soul. I don’t need such a dangerous cultivation method.” He said with a clear conscience.
