Chapter 313: Chapter 313: Snatching the Monster

Translator: 549690339 |

Seeing the NPCs start to fight over the monsters, Song Jian began to laugh. Seeing a mummy that only had less than a tenth of its vitality points left, Song Jian immediately pulled out a self-destructing robot from his inventory and directed it toward the mummy.

The self-destructing robots moved on tracks, their speed was incredibly fast, and their compact size made them nimble among the monsters. As it reached the mummy, its warning light started to flash urgently.

Boom!

A massive explosion resounded, causing a damage of over two hundred points to all the monsters and NPCs within a three-meter range. The mummy let out a roar and instantly turned into a pile of ashes, unfortunately, it didn’t drop any gems.

Song Jian gave a snort, his gaze shifted to other mummies.

However, the explosion drew all of the NPCs’ attention to Song Jian. In particular, those NPCs who were just attacking the mummy looked horrified.

One NPC was even blasted by the self-destructing robot to the brink of death.

“How dare you…” That NPC pointed at Song Jian, his face full of anger.

“Huh, the experience points from the final hit are quite high!” Song Jian said with surprise.

“Human, your actions will provoke public outrage. Even if you’re powerful, you can’t possibly fight against so many people…” A bull-headed beastman shaman, holding a bone wand, turned towards Song Jian.

“What, only you guys can snatch the monsters, and others can’t?” Song Jian retorted.

The shaman priest was at a loss for words, looking at the NPCs fighting over the mummies, he sighed and shook his head without saying more.

The NPCs were not all on the same page. They belonged to different factions, some of them were even enemies. But because there were so many players, these NPCs felt pressure and nerves, forced to unite and form a loose alliance. However, this alliance couldn’t hold up in the face of self-interest.

Song Jian didn’t care about that, seeing another mummy was almost out of vitality points, he immediately let loose another self-destructing robot.

Ba-ba-ba~

The self-destructing robot rushed towards the mummy. At this moment, the NPC that had been hacking at the mummy saw its vitality points had fallen to half and immediately showed a drastic change in expression. Rather than being hit by the mummy, it rapidly retreated. The explosion radius of self-destructing robots was three meters. If it waited till the moment they worked their way over, it would be too late to escape.

Boom!

Another thunderous noise, the mummy with less than a hundred vitality points was blasted into pieces. The surrounding NPCs scampered away in panic, none dared to get within a 3-meter radius of the mummy’s corpse.

Just then, Song Jian’s eyes brightened. He seemed to see a red gem roll down from the mummy’s body.

Sword Shadow Step!

A dark figure pounced at the mummy. Some NPCs seeing that Song Jian intended to snatch the gem began to attack him. Energy beams of various colors blasted at Song Jian all at once.

Boom! MISS, MISS, Boom!

About half of the attacks were directly dodged, Song Jian was taken by surprise, he swiftly scooped up the gem and turned around. Like a shadow, he rushed towards the NPC attacking him that was closest to him.

“Don’t, Stop, 1…” The face of that NPC changed drastically, it hadn’t expected that Song Jian would actually dare to fight it amidst so many people.

Broken Wing Dance!

Sword Silk!

A series of attacks followed, instantly killing this NPC who had over eight hundred vitality points.

Leisurely picking up the items dropped by the NPC, Song Jian looked around. His eyes were filled with killing intent, and a hint of black shadows began to float around him, like tentacles of a devil.

Qian Xiaohao sneered, ready to step forward and reprimand Song Jian, even thinking about rallying everyone around to kill him and see if he could burst out the “Sword Finger” skill.

But he was held back by his last remaining follower, who whispered in his ear, “Young Master, look at the black mist on him, that’s the mark of an abyssal demon. He’s been marked by an abyssal demon. If you kill him, I fear you will replace him, becoming the next target of the abyssal demon…” “What? How could he possibly provoke such a terrifying existence?” Qian Xiaohao’s eyes were full of surprise.

Staring at Song Jian for a while, there was struggle in Qian Xiaohao’s eyes. After hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed; “He can perform Sword Finger, he surely possesses Invisible Sword Qi, what a pity…” After Song Jian had killed an NPC, not all NPCs were stunned by his actions. Two of the level twenty NPCs snorted, about to step forward, but saw that Song Jian unleashed over a dozen self-destructing robots all at once that surrounded him.

This moment immediately silenced everyone. Over a dozen self-destructing robots, each capable of causing over two hundred points of damage, this many self-destructing robots could instantly kill any one present. If Song Jian was heartless, he could even take a lot of NPCs down with him.

“Human, what do you want exactly?” An elf NPC tightly clutched his battle bow, his face full of confusion as he asked.

“I need a hundred red gems!” Song Jian replied with a slight smile.

“Impossible! Not every monster here can drop a gem, and not every gem dropped is necessarily red. Your request is impossible to fulfil!” The elf NPC immediately rebutted, angered.

Shrugging, Song Jian said: “Well, I’ll just farm for loot myself.

Is that farming for loot yourself? You’re just stealing monsters, are you clueless?

The elf NPC was left speechless in frustration. If Song Jian continued causing chaos, everyone would have to reserve some energy while fighting monsters. When would they be able to kill all these mummies?

You have to understand there’s more than just that in the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace!

“I can give you all the red gems dropped by these mummies, plus an extra Life Fruit. Regardless of how severe your injuries are, you can fully recover by consuming it, what do you think?”

Song Jian hesitated for a moment, he only had a few more than ten self-destructing robots left. Even if he could snatch every time and every mummy he snatched could explode with a red gem, he could at most obtain a dozen more red gems.

If he accepted the deal proposed by the elf NPC, his harvest would naturally be larger.

“Will they listen to you?” Song Jian glanced at the other NPCs.

Seeming to possess high status, the elf NPC looked around, his gaze only lingered on Qian Xiaohao for a moment. As Qian Xiaohao nodded slightly, the elf NPC showed a smidge of smugness in his smile: “This, I will certainly guarantee for you!”
