    Chapter 129: Death Avatar’s Super Evolution (Subscription Requested)

    Following the fat man’s words, several strong men approached carrying two chests.

    They placed the chests in front of the Death Avatar and opened them on the spot.

    One chest was filled with arm-thick pure blue crystals; the other contained metal shimmering with a silvery light.

    The Death Avatar glanced at Gu Xi, then slapped the ground.

    Three Dragon Blood Crystals and seven Dragon Steels flew into the air.

    The Death Avatar inhaled the ten materials. Blue veins then appeared on its bones.

    These veins were fleeting, but Gu Xi could clearly sense that the Death Avatar’s bones were no longer as black as before; instead, they possessed a metallic luster.

    If sunlight shone on the Death Avatar from a different angle, a blue film could be seen coating its surface.

    [Name: Death Avatar (Summoned Creature)

    Race: Bone Dragon Form

    Level: 12 (0/0)

    Talent: Rule Creature

    Status: Life (960/960), Mana (450/450)

    Attributes: Strength 12.4, Agility 9.6, Constitution 9.6, Intelligence 16, Perception 10.4, Charisma 10.2

    Skills: Death Dragon Breath, Undead Creature, Curse Attack, Intangibility, Melting Ray (Fusion Skill, ten uses per day), Dragon Steel Membrane (Fusion Skill, resists magic below level 2), Crystal Dust Storm (Fusion Skill, flying black mist inflicting 15 damage per second)]

    Looking at the Death Avatar’s new attributes, Gu Xi couldn’t help but marvel at its growth.

    Not only had its attributes increased, but the three new skills alone were incredibly powerful.

    The Melting Ray was obtained from absorbing the Cyclops’s combined corpse eye. The ten daily uses of the Melting Ray were now used by the Death Avatar like a machine gun.

    The Dragon Steel Membrane was clearly the metallic film coating the Death Avatar’s body. Before, when part of the Death Avatar’s body had become metallized, Gu Xi thought it would only strengthen its physical hardness.

    However, after absorbing the Dragon Steel, the effect was fully activated, also activating enhanced magic resistance.

    Now, all magic below level 2 did virtually no damage to the Death Avatar. If combined with a mirror counterattack, any magic hitting it could potentially be reflected back.

    Gu Xi wasn’t sure about the Crystal Dust Storm, but he believed it was related to the black mist storm created when the Death Avatar flew. The previous Dragon Blood Crystal fusion seemed to have caused this skill change.

    After reviewing the Death Avatar’s new attributes, Gu Xi turned to the fat man.

    “How many Dragon Blood Crystals are needed for a Bone Dragon and a Ghostly Dragon? Divide up the rest for me. Oh, and I have a Headless Knight Training Manual, purple quality. Do you want it?”

    “A Bone Dragon only needs one Dragon Steel; a Ghostly Dragon needs one Dragon Blood Crystal and two Dragon Steels.”

    The fat man was quite familiar with this, instantly stating the materials required for Bone Dragons and Ghostly Dragons.

    However, most players here were only level 5, far from being able to obtain a Bone Dragon.

    At most, they would only buy one Dragon Steel, or perhaps one Dragon Blood Crystal and two Dragon Steels, as a kind of wishful thinking.

    If they ever surpassed level 5, they would then start preparing for a Bone Dragon.

    Gu Xi’s bulk purchasing was unlike anything the onlookers, or even the fat man, had ever seen.

    But the fat man reacted quickly, immediately dividing the remaining materials.

    “Your purple equipment is worth seventeen Dragon Blood Crystals. With a Dragon Blood Crystal to Dragon Steel exchange rate of two to three, you took three Dragon Blood Crystals earlier, plus seven Dragon Steels, so I’ll count that as seven Dragon Blood Crystals, and you still owe me one Dragon Steel. The remainder, exchanged proportionally, is four Dragon Blood Crystals and nine Dragon Steels. If you take them proportionally, that’s four Dragon Blood Crystals and eight Dragon Steels, and you give me back the extra one.”

    The fat man’s calculation was incredibly convoluted. Gu Xi listened as he meticulously calculated each piece, feeling his brain overheat.

    “Fine, don’t bother. Just tell me, is this the correct amount?”

    “Yes.”

    The fat man nodded confidently, with the air of a mathematical genius.

    Gu Xi didn’t even want to comment.

    It was clearly elementary-school-level finger counting, something even older elementary school students wouldn’t bother with, yet he was boasting about it.

    After collecting the corresponding number of Dragon Blood Crystals and Dragon Steels, Gu Xi asked again, “Do you want the purple Headless Knight Training Manual?”

    “No, you should take that back to the guild to sell it. You won’t sell it here. Most people who can enter this world lack potential. Giving this item, which requires level 10 to use, to them now is a waste.”

    Gu Xi understood the fat man’s words were correct.

    But he immediately pointed to the Death Avatar and said, “Do any of you have anything that can be used by it? Anyone, show me what you have. I have some other equipment. If we can agree on a price, anything is negotiable.”

    Gu Xi said this while taking out some of his previously acquired useless items.

    Things like the Dragon Tear Bracer, a large quantity of unidentified potions relying on luck, and Skeleton Warhorses—anything Gu Xi deemed useless was placed before the Death Avatar.

    Seeing the array of items before the Death Avatar, some of the onlookers became excited.

    “So many things! Look, that’s a Skeleton Warhorse, even a green +1 one! If I just train it, I can pass my Death Knight riding exam!”

    “That’s a strength-enhancing bracer! My strength has always been just a little short. This is a great thing!”

    “Hey, these potions look interesting. Should I gamble?”

    While they discussed in small groups, a thin Undead Mage cautiously approached.

    “How much for all the potions together?”

    “Green-quality materials or items will do, as long as it satisfies him. I don’t care about these.”

    Gu Xi said with a smile.

    “That’s not too expensive. I’ll take all these potions. I don’t have money, but here, what do you think of this?”

    The thin Undead Mage pulled out a mud-covered stone tablet from under his robe. The tablet was inscribed with words and looked like a tombstone.

    But Gu Xi felt something different when he saw it.

    “This is… a building blueprint?”

    “Yes, a blueprint for a medium-sized plot building. It must be near a graveyard or burial ground. It’s called a Graveyard Herb Garden. It uses the graveyard’s Yin energy to grow herbs like graveyard moss and blood lichen. I know medium-sized plots aren’t very valuable, but this is all I have left. I’ve exchanged everything else for herbs. Please help me.”

    “It’s a deal!”
