The Boss Behind The Game Chapter 136

Chapter 136 - The Big Treasure

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Beiqi, Nightmare Zone.

A silhouette was loitering suspiciously near Nightmare City, with iron shovels in both hands and a gunny sack tied on his waist.

After circling Nightmare City once, Hu He took a compass from his pocket. It was made according to the instructions in the ancient records. He glanced at it for a while, before stretching his hand behind and waving at something.

Something sickly thin appeared from behind him. However, the head of the deformed creature was exceptionally large. It immediately walked forward and took the iron shovels from Hu He’s hands. Then, it vigorously dug at the side of the city wall.

From the zombie-finding compass, Hu He could tell that there was definitely a corpse of an immensely strong person within Nightmare City. Its Zombie Energy Value was so strong, its strength greatly outweighed Cha Na’s. Hu He’s power would definitely increase tremendously if he obtained it.

Although he had thought of entering through the city gates, a Zombie Poison Formation had been placed at the city gates. He barged in twice, but his attempts were futile. The only solution left was for Hu He to find another way.

With the help of the zombie spirit of Cha Na’s immense power, a tunnel through the city wall was soon created.

Hu He glanced at the hole, and checked the Zombie Energy Value shown on the compass again, before going through the tunnel.

After entering it, Hu He was surprised when he found that the sky of Nightmare City had numerous coffins floating in the air. Each coffin was tied together by a connecting rope, while the entire city seemed completely empty. Furthermore, the doors of all the large buildings were closed, while pieces of burnt golden paper were strewn all over the streets.

Although this was a terrible sight to behold, Hu He had already prepared himself mentally for it. Thus, without panicking, he brought out his compass again, and began to search for the source of zombie energy in the city.

After determining the location, Hu He hunched forward and began making his way to the center of the city.

As he was walking, he began to feel a little chilly. It felt as though a gust of evil wind was blowing around him, as pieces of the golden paper on the ground fluttered about in the air. The floating coffins shook slightly from the blowing wind, creaking noisily as wood came and brushed against each other.

Hu He shivered slightly, he felt that the place was too bizarre.

However, it did not affect his desire for the powerful corpse, as he continued onward with quickened steps.

After an entire journey on edge, he finally arrived at the central zone. A gigantic blood-red coffin caught his eye, as his digitized compass dinged repeatedly, indicating that the zombie energy was off the charts.

“This is a big treasure!” Hu He’s eyes glowed brightly.

However, he did not open the coffin immediately. Instead, he walked around the blood coffin twice, and made Cha Na’s zombie spirit touch it several times, to ensure that there was no danger before approaching it.

As he stood next to the blood coffin, he patted the gunny sack and summoned three Zombie Skeleton Warriors from it. Then, Hu He pointed a finger at the blood-red coffin and said…

“Open it!”

Upon hearing the command, the Zombie Skeleton Warriors and zombie spirit of Cha Na immediately approached the blood coffin and began to push the coffin cover.

To Hu He’s surprise, the blood coffin’s cover was extremely secure. It did not budge an inch, even though it was violently pushed by four zombie spirits.

Hu He felt puzzled, because other than the three Zombie Skeleton Warriors, he knew that the zombie spirit of Cha Na was extremely powerful. His strength could match the top Rune Masters in the game. In fact, he might be even stronger. Even so, they could not open the coffin cover, it must be extremely heavy.

Still, Hu He did not feel discouraged. After collecting his thoughts, he raised the iron shovels in his hand and began to smash the coffin cover.

As Hu He was smashing the blood coffin, Hiderigami who was lying in it and recovering from his injuries, suddenly opened his eyes. Then, he slowly closed them again.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The crashing sounds kept coming from above, causing the deeply asleep Hiderigami to open his eyes again.

A string of Power of Blood Qi began to flow out of Hiderigami’s body, and headed toward the coffin cover. However, before it reached the coffin cover, it quickly dissipated.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The cover was being struck endlessly. Hiderigami widened his eyes, he really wanted to kill the rascal who was disrupting his slumber.

However, due to the battle with the Evil God’s clone, he suffered heavy injuries and the Power of Blood Qi within him was almost depleted. Currently, he could hardly move.

“Why is it so hard?” after spending nearly all day smashing at it, Hu He wiped his sweat away and bent over to place his ear on the cover of the coffin.

He seemed to have heard something moving inside it.

A moment later, he was certain that he had misheard it, and merely sat on the coffin cover, as he fell deep into his thoughts again.

If he gave up now, he would not be satisfied. However, the coffin cover was too hard to open with his current abilities.

After thinking for a while, Hu He’s eyes brightened, as he opened the shop interface and scrolled through the special tools inventory.

[Shorthand Iron Shovel (White)]: Digging tool

Tool Attributes: Hardness 1, Damage 1

Price: 1 Soul Coin

[Fine Iron Shovel (Blue)]: Digging tool (Can be used as a weapon)

Tool Attributes: Hardness 3, Damage 3

Price: 15 Soul Coins

……

Hu He scrolled through the list of tools, before stopping at a golden iron shovel.

[Gold Shovel (Purple)]: Special tool made by Beiqi’s best blacksmith.

Tool Attributes: Hardness 10, Damage 12

Tool Special Attributes: Sharpness Level 3

Price: 100 Soul Coins (Warning, this item is a limited item, there are only five left.)

Hu He had a headache while looking at the item prices. However, he grit his teeth and purchased it. Immediately, a gold shovel appeared in his hand.

“Open it for me!” Hu He held the Gold Shovel and vigorously hacked the blood coffin.

“Clang!”

The sound of metal clashing against metal thundered upon each impact. However, Hu He gladly noticed that the Gold Shovel created a tiny dent.

Even though the effect was not tremendous, Hu He knew that there was a possibility. He immediately passed the Gold Shovel to zombie soul Cha Na, who began smashing the coffin open.

However, Hu He felt a little frustrated as the smashing went on. Even though the Gold Shovel could damage the blood coffin, it was taking too long. If this continued, it would take forever to open it.

Seeing as the shovel was a limited item, once it broke, the market would have one less Gold Shovel. He could take advantage of its rarity in the future. Hence, he grit his teeth and bought three more Gold Shovels from the shop. Then, he gave them to the other zombie spirits and ordered all four of them to continue opening it. On the other hand, Hu He merely sat by the side, as he opened the game’s built-in forum to pass time.

“Clang clang clang! Bang bang bang! Ding ding ding!”

The sound of metal clashing endlessly reverberated through the air.

Hiderigami, who was still lying inside the blood coffin, opened his eyes widely in annoyance, feeling as though he was going crazy.

He could not fall asleep with the noisy ruckus. Furthermore, the Power of Blood Qi inside that was slowly healing his body, was continually disrupted by the incessant knocking.

“Splurt!”

Hiderigami vomited a lump of regurgitated Blood Qi from his mouth, splattering it all over the inside of the blood coffin.

“Cough cough!” his body’s worsening condition made Hiderigami begin to cough uncontrollably.

“Wait!” Hu He had a sharp hearing, and quickly stopped the zombie spirits from continuing. He approached the blood coffin again, and moved his ear closer to listen closely.

“Bang, bang! Is anyone there?”

Hu He asked as he knocked twice on the blood coffin.

A moment later…

As he did not hear any reply, Hu He pointed a finger at the blood coffin and ordered, “Continue smashing!”

“Wait… hold on! Cough, cough!” Hiderigami’s weak voice echoed from the blood coffin.

“My goodness, the corpse has come to life!” Hu He’s eyes widened in disbelief. Then, he knocked on the coffin twice again and asked, “Are you the one speaking?”

“Cough, cough… that’s right, it’s me, can you stop banging?”

If Hiderigami had enough energy to open the coffin cover, he would have immediately devoured the people outside.
