I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 593 - 432 New Myth and Old Myth_2

Chapter 593: Chapter 432 New Myth and Old Myth_2

Tie Kui, Dadao Gang, and the group behind them looked at the unremarkable wooden figure in amazement. Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.

Nearly Immortal Level!

And it’s called the “Greedy Demon God”!

What does this imply?

You must know, in the world governed by the Mind, names cannot be chosen carelessly.

If the name and function don’t match, it could certainly affect the effectiveness of the item!

Greedy Demon God… How greedy?!

They weren’t even sure if their prepared medical expenses would be enough!

Moreover, the name Demon God… sounds quite impressive…

“We naturally trust your craftsmanship… haha, using Inferior Grade insect shells, yet you managed to create a Legendary… this one you meticulously crafted, it’s exceptionally powerful,” Chairman Tie Kui rubbed his hands together and offered some courteous words, “As for the medical expenses, we plan to sell this piece of Legendary Equipment.”

“Whether it succeeds or not, it’s the only thing we have to sell.”

The undertone of that statement is: there’s nothing more we can afford for the medical expenses.

Lu Yuan also understood the other party’s difficulties, turned his head, and saw a dark gold-colored axe.

Well, Craftsman Master Furnace Wheel, seems only to make axes.

This Legendary Quality axe is almost the same as “Earth Splitting Axe,” at about 2300 Spirit Essence, considered slightly below middle Level among Legendaries.

However, this time, Furnace Wheel along with the other dozen craftsmen did not return to the underground.

Craftsmen’s interactions require a lot of time, and a mere half-a-year is obviously not enough. Moreover, the social atmosphere in Green Grass City is quite good. These craftsmen were quite happy and stayed, so the Underground Alliance simply let them further learn for a while, to learn more than just making axes all day. It really wouldn’t be useful in a real battle.

“Brother Lu, if you fancy this axe, take it! Just try your best, even if it cures to death, we won’t commit fraud with medical expenses. Trust our credibility… Anyway, the Bullhead Clan, we don’t wage war with humans,” shouted the Minotaur.

Tie Kui’s body involuntarily trembled, subconsciously wanting to scold this Bullhead.

Then realized it quickly, and desperately held back his anger: “Damn it, I should have gagged the Minotaurs long ago.”

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan was chatting with old Bull: “Chief Niu, your words add so much pressure… we humans are peace-loving and value credibility, we never talk about waging war.”

“Wait till you see the Ancient Worm, don’t be scared to death! My Alliance is truly strong!” the Minotaur proclaimed with lofty pride.

“Alright, alright, we are looking forward to it…”

A few soldiers approached the altar and operated a bunch of gears.

Suddenly, countless gears started to rotate, a rumbling sound arose, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

A few minutes later, part of the ground collapsed, revealing a large hole.

A rotten smell came face-to-face, causing all the People of the Underworld to feel a “thud” in their hearts; this particular smell was even richer than before, indicating that the Ancient Worm was not in a good state, even the talkative Bull was dumbstruck.

“Everyone, step back a bit, we are going to pull out the Ancient Worm.”

The rumbling grew louder, and a giant creature, entirely black and faintly glowing, was lifted from the small cave.

Even with mental preparation, seeing the actual thing still sent shivers down their spines…

What is this thing?

A real… mountain peak!

It was indeed a massive creature comparable to Green Mountain, possibly having a length of 1.4 kilometers, a height of six or seven hundred meters, and could weigh tens of millions of tons, even reaching the level of hundreds of millions of tons.

Just this tonnage alone, is many times larger than Opium poppy, Painted skin!

A gigantic… beetle!

Shaped like a rhinoceros beetle, its head was adorned with a black horn weighing millions of tons, shiny and impressive.

“Is this a species left from the Ancient times?”

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but hold his breath, looking intently, and instructed his companions: “Everyone, do not use any Superpower, to avoid catching the Withering Disease.”

Half of its body is withered like wood, completely shriveled as if the moisture had evaporated, just like a mummy.

The other half of the body barely counts as healthy, but only just barely…

Countless black Qi surrounds it, even entangling its soul.

Even opening its eyes and making a move requires a tremendous amount of effort.

[Are you… a Myth from the Ninth Epoch?]

Suddenly, a voice rose from the bottom of Lu Yuan’s heart, ancient and hoarse, [I am Ancient Insect. The Ancient Worm, the original Myth of Anomaly [Insect], and of the same level as you.]

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but widen his pupils, somewhat vigilant. “Greedy Demon God” was his trump card, yet it was seen through in an instant.

“Ancient Insect, hello.”

[Still too weak… such a small entity, probably can’t even beat a ghost. Are you here to treat me?] The other party sighed deeply, speaking in a tone that judged from head to toe.

[The Myths of these later times, one weaker than the other… What year is it now in the Ninth Epoch?]

Frankly, being directly called “a bit weak,” Lu Yuan felt somewhat defiant.

He didn’t believe from the bottom of his heart that Ancient Insect could see through all of him at a glance.

Even the extraordinarily cunning Mirror [Demon] could not see through the “Greedy Demon God.” Could this giant insect possibly be smarter than Mirror [Demon]?

Definitely impossible!

However, Lu Yuan was no longer a rash young man and was too lazy to argue with this pitiful insect: “Senior, let’s not talk about these matters for now, how long can you hold on? My Mythical Level Puppet is specially made for healing; it’s alright if it’s a bit weak in combat.”

“I need to know just how strong your Life Force is and if it’s even possible to heal?”

[I might still be able to persevere for several more years…] Ancient Insect spoke in that ancient tone, [I have guarded this land diligently for countless years, sadly unrecognized for my service and my suffering unknown.]

[I can only wither away slowly in decrepit pain…]

[Even the descendants from the outer world have all betrayed me.]

[I… only have a few years left to live.]

Lu Yuan said sympathetically, “I’m sorry, patient, stay calm. If you only have a few years left, truly, it can’t be cured. Do you have any last words? I could pass them on.”

This was genuine, such a massive creature, even if the Greedy Demon God madly transferred Life Essence, how much would be needed?

A Legendary Axe, more than two thousand Spirit Essences, that’s not even enough to cover the medical expenses!

A money-losing business is a no-go…

The atmosphere became somewhat silent.

Ancient Insect seemed to be choked by his words, and said faintly, [New Myth, are you planning on leaving just like this?]

“Old senior, I am Greedy Demon God, I can be greedy, but I can’t lie. Your amount of Life Force, it’s not worth treating, keep your mood pleasant, enjoy the days to come.” Lu Yuan said sincerely, “The Underground Alliance can also save some money, we’ll not take that axe either.”

“Do speak your last words.”

Then Ancient Insect called out again: [How can you be so disrespectful and unkind? Can you really cure me?]

Lu Yuan faintly felt something was off with this creature: “What’s the point of lying to you? The Underground Alliance provides the medical fees! If an injury suitable for a [Ghost] can’t be cured, is that still called a Myth?”

“But with your condition, there’s really nothing that can be done, just state your last words, so I can finish this task.”

He turned his head, signaling to everyone, preparing to leave.

Unexpectedly, the Ancient Insect changed its tune: [Wait a moment, don’t go. If I grit my teeth, I could still last a few hundred years, no, perhaps even a thousand years… Is this Life Force enough?]

Lu Yuan was extremely shocked inwardly, yet his face remained quite calm: “Seems still not enough… I must take my leave.”

[Wait! If I grit my teeth, I could live for ten thousand years! New Myth, how can you just abandon me like this?]

Lu Yuan was speechless, so this aura of being at death’s door was all an act.

These old bones, one more capable of playing dead than the next, no wonder they’ve survived till now.
