Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 258 - 219: Red Light Treasure Chest, White Bone Demon

A golden light flashed before Wang Yi, and a Red Light Treasure Chest appeared.

He was overjoyed but suppressed the urge to open it immediately. Instead, he piloted the Galaxy Airship over to Li Longyu and the others.

"You’ve all worked hard. We’ve killed a hundred million enemies and received the reward. Come on up and rest!"

A moment later, Li Longyu, Xiang Yun, Wang Bushi, and the others gathered inside the Galaxy Airship. The airship then began to slowly traverse the battlefield, heading for the exit on the opposite side.

Wang Yi clasped his hands and bowed to the Red Light Treasure Chest, saying, "It’s time to open another Treasure Chest. I really hope I get a Blind Box."

He reached out and lifted the lid of the Treasure Chest. A brilliant red light flared, and a Red Light Chaos Egg, a Red Light Blind Box, and a Red Light Scroll flew out, hovering before Wang Yi.

[Bone Battlefield Special Chaos Egg: Red Light Quality, Bound. Consume 100 Chaos Energy to incubate an Undead Musician servant for you. This servant possesses extremely high artistic Talent, is proficient with all musical instruments, is obsessed with music, has a pure heart, and possesses five skills.]

[Bone Battlefield Special Chaos Blind Box: Red Light Quality, Bound. Consume 100 Chaos Energy to open. Guaranteed to contain a Bone Battlefield-related item. 40% chance of a Red Light item, 60% chance of a Gold item.]

[Skeleton Soldier Summoning Scroll: Special Item, Consumable. Upon use, summons one hundred million Skeleton Soldiers to fight for you. The Skeleton Soldiers are set as cannon fodder and will last for 12 hours.]

’These rewards aren’t half bad...’

After a moment’s thought, Wang Yi immediately incubated the Red Light Chaos Egg.

「At that same moment, at the first station Wang Yi had passed—the abandoned Chaos City—Wei Shenming and Bai Xianyi finally made it ashore.」

The two of them collapsed to the ground like heaps of mud, not wanting to move an inch.

"Dammit. Chased by zombies in outer space, swimming for over seven hours without a moment’s rest... who would even believe this story if we told it?"

Wei Shenming grumbled, feeling like he’d put in a huge effort today. Even running a marathon couldn’t compare.

Bai Xianyi said, "At least our hard work wasn’t for nothing. Now that our skills and items are unsealed, we can continue exploring."

"That Sun Wukong is up ahead. Do you really think he’ll leave any opportunities for us?"

"That Sun Wukong... he ruined my opportunities in the World of Suffering. If he ruins them again here in the Corridor of Chaos, he’ll truly be a ’destroyer of opportunities’!"

"As long as Wukong lives, there will be no peace in this world!"

"Get up. We have to keep moving..."

Bai Xianyi gritted her teeth and got up.

A moment later, the two of them arrived behind the abandoned Chaos City, before three exits.

After some discussion, they also chose to head to the Bone Battlefield. By the time they entered, however, Wang Yi was already standing at its exit.

His team had gained a new member—or to be more precise, a "White Bone Demon."

Her name was Beruna. She was a Necromancer whose true form was a skeleton, but she could transform into the appearance of a beautiful young woman. She possessed five skills: [Human Disguise], [Soul Resonance], [Music Domain], [Overture of the Dead], and [Instrument Proficiency].

She had a level setting and was currently Level 1. She could gain Experience Points by performing music to level up.

Of her five skills, [Human Disguise], [Soul Resonance], [Music Domain], and [Instrument Proficiency] were all passive, while [Overture of the Dead] was a Summoning Skill.

When Beruna played the [Overture of the Dead] on any instrument, she could summon an Undead Army. The quality of the Undead Army was related to her level. If she were to play it now, she could only summon one thousand Skeleton Soldiers. The skeletons could fight during the overture but would disappear the moment the music ended.

’She’s not bad. She can occasionally participate in battles... I still have that piano loom sitting idle in the Chaos Warehouse. It’ll be perfect for Beruna.’

Wang Yi thought to himself.

As for the special Red Light Blind Box from the Bone Battlefield, Wang Yi didn’t open it yet. He was busy examining the three glowing orbs that served as exits, deciding to head to the third station first.

[Exit 1: Leads to the One-Star Station: Melancholy Canyon in the Shadow World. You may be able to obtain food supplies within, but beware of the sorrowful demonic music that appears from time to time.]

[Exit 2: Leads to the Three-Star Station: the Death Pyramid in the Valon World. Within, you can obtain Construction Drawings for a Soul Altar, Mummy Fashion, and more.]

[Exit 3: Leads to the Two-Star Station: a junkyard in some Abandoned World. You may be able to scavenge some useful items there.]

’Huh, the Valon World...’

Wang Yi’s heart skipped a beat.

The Valon World was a Newbie World!

Luan Bu and his people were from the Valon World!

Wang Yi hadn’t expected to have a chance to enter another Newbie World inside the Corridor of Chaos.

’A trip to the Valon World wouldn’t be bad. The Soul Altar... I heard Dog Head Ji Liangren mention it. It seems to be a building that can resurrect resident Players. It’s definitely worth collecting!’

Wang Yi made his choice quickly, not even asking Hu Miaosuan this time.

After letting everyone rest for another moment, Wang Yi led the team into the second exit.

「He had barely left when Bai Xianyi and Wei Shenming arrived, riding their swords.」

The two of them hadn’t even bothered fighting the skeletons on the Bone Battlefield; they had flown directly across it on their swords.

"Was that Sun Wukong’s team just now? They just left?"

"They were probably fighting Skeleton Soldiers on the Bone Battlefield!" Bai Xianyi narrowed her eyes. "Following behind Wang Yi is not a wise move. We’d be better off going to the junkyard. We might find some treasures there."

"Alright, I’ll follow your lead!"

And so, Bai Xianyi and Wei Shenming entered the third exit.

「Meanwhile, Wang Yi had arrived in a vast Yellow Sand Desert. He looked around and spotted an oasis in the distance. A few short trees grew in the oasis, along with a colossal black pyramid.」

That pyramid was clearly the Death Pyramid.

"DING! You have arrived at the Death Pyramid, the third station of this Secret Realm in the Corridor of Chaos. Your area of activity is a five-li radius. The Death Pyramid is connected to an underground labyrinth containing a large number of sarcophagi. Opening a sarcophagus has a small chance of yielding the drawings for a Soul Altar and Mummy Fashion, and a large chance of releasing a mummy monster."

"DING! Find the Secret Realm’s exit deep within the underground labyrinth beneath the Death Pyramid. Passing through the exit will lead you to the next station!"

"DING! Please note, the Secret Realm’s exit will close in 12 hours. If you fail to enter the next station before it closes, you will be eliminated. Your team will be teleported back to your original world and will be unable to enter the Corridor of Chaos again."

Wang Yi narrowed his eyes. The Secret Realm’s exit was deep inside the Death Pyramid. ’Looks like we’re in for a full map exploration this time,’ he thought.

"Labyrinths are the worst!"

Just as Wang Yi said that, he suddenly saw billowing clouds of sand in the distance. Above the dust, two Players were approaching on flying skateboards, with what looked like a large army below them.

’Players from the Valon World?’

Wang Yi took a closer look and recognized one of the Players on a flying skateboard—it was Luan Bu.

’Huh, speak of the devil. I just arrived in the Valon World and I’m already running into the old invaders?’

Wang Yi found this interesting. He glanced at the Death Pyramid again, then said to Li Longyu and the others, "Kill first, treasure hunt later!"

With that, he steered the Galaxy Airship to intercept Luan Bu’s forces.

「At this very moment, Luan Bu was staring at the Death Pyramid.」

’Another Death Pyramid has appeared! Excellent! I’ll plunder it before anyone else finds it and take all the resources inside!’

Just as Luan Bu was thinking this, he suddenly saw an airship appear ahead.

’Huh, where did that airship come from? Why does it look a little familiar?’

Luan Bu rubbed his chin.

Not far from him, the World Observer Ruan Saint, who was also on a flying skateboard, suddenly cried out in alarm, "Stop! Stop, now! The one approaching is Yang Jian!"

"Yang Jian? Which Yang Jian?"

Luan Bu froze for a second, then a shiver ran down his spine. He slapped his forehead and said, "The Yang Jian from Huaguo Mountain in the Typhon World?"

"That’s him!" said Ruan Saint. "And he’s brought 14 subordinates with him. Looks like he’s here to screw us over!"

"I can’t believe this Yang Jian also has the ability to travel between stars. And he actually found his way here!"

Luan Bu clenched his fist, glanced down at the large force of Scorpion Knights and Yellow Sand Warriors he had brought, and then said to Ruan Saint, "That Yang Jian only brought 14 subordinates. I have 200 Scorpion Knights and 200 Yellow Sand Warriors here. You’re telling me we can’t take him in a direct fight?"

"What are you thinking? Don’t be rash! That guy is the one who killed Roushan Duo’Er! We can’t afford to provoke him. Run!"

The Chaotic Servant gritted his teeth, but ultimately listened to Ruan Saint’s words. He yelled, "Full retreat! Turn the army around!"

But while he wanted to retreat, Wang Yi had no intention of letting them go.

The Galaxy Airship accelerated, swiftly arriving above them.

The hatch opened, and Xiang Yun, clad in his Ion Beast Armor, was the first to charge out.

"Fall of the Demon Dragon!"

He roared, and the Black Flame Demon Dragon descended from the sky. With a mighty cry, it caught Xiang Yun on its head.

Xiang Yun stood atop the Black Flame Demon Dragon’s head. He raised his long spear, and black lightning immediately crackled around the dragon’s body. Its flight speed increased dramatically, and it quickly surpassed the Galaxy Airship.

This was Xiang Yun using [Thunderbolt Stab]. Riding the Demon Dragon with the force of a thunderbolt, he slammed into the large army below. Black lightning coursed through the ranks, and what followed was a slaughter akin to mowing down grass.

Be they Scorpion Knights or Yellow Sand Warriors, none could stand against Xiang Yun for a single exchange. He swung the Dragon Gallbladder Overlord Spear, and wherever he passed, men and their mounts were sent flying.

"My Soldiers!"

Luan Bu cried out in alarm.

Seeing the Galaxy Airship drawing ever closer, he and Ruan Saint crushed a Jade Talisman at the same time.

The next moment, both of their figures vanished as they teleported back to the Oasis Territory.

They had crushed a Teleportation Jade Talisman. This talisman was a functional product created after Luan Bu’s Heart of Chaos in his Oasis Territory reached Level 3. Crushing the talisman allowed for instantaneous teleportation, much faster than a Town Recall Scroll.

But it could only be used on one person at a time!

Luan Bu and Ruan Saint had safely returned to their city, but they had abandoned the Scorpion Knight and Yellow Sand Warrior battalions they had worked so hard to build.

At this point, the eight Martial Saint Feng Yuxius also entered the fray. Their Swords and Sabers danced, swiftly dismembering one Scorpion Knight and Yellow Sand Warrior after another.

Wang Yi looked down from the Galaxy Airship and said in a low voice, "Pathetically weak!"

But to cut the weeds and pull the roots, Wang Yi wasn’t satisfied with just eliminating a few hundred Soldiers. He wanted to wipe out Luan Bu and destroy his territory to prevent any future trouble.
