Super Invincible Upgrade

Chapter 163: Chapter163

"Dead?" Zhou Peng was stunned and couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Dead? How can I bring her back? How can I complete the task? How can I get the Dark Tower?" Hong Yue's death had nothing to do with him at all. But when he accepted Zi Yue's task, Hong Yue's life and death became very important to him. Now that Hong Yue was dead, he couldn't complete the task at all. If he couldn't complete the task, Zi Yue at the fourth level of Qiankun Realm would definitely not give him the Dark Tower, let alone other rewards. Impossible! The system couldn't make such a mistake. Even if there are changes in the tasks issued by the system, it will only change in the task level. It's impossible to cancel the task. There must be something wrong somewhere. Looking at their painful expressions, it didn't seem like they were deceiving Zhou Peng. If this is the case, did he come here in vain? "Damn it. You can't坑 me like this, right?" Zhou Peng cursed inwardly. Looking at Luo Yue, he asked, "Could it be someone with the same name? Zi Yue couldn't ask me to bring a dead person back." "Princess Zi Yue has only one sister, Hong Yue." "She died of exhaustion of lifespan more than three hundred years ago and grew old and died in the tribe." When Luo Yue spoke, his expression was very heavy. Hong Yue's death was a blow to the tribe. But when he heard that Zi Yue was still alive, a glimmer of hope was kindled in his heart, the hope of the Underworld Sea Race. The Luo clan was once a large clan among the Underworld Sea Race and a guardian clan. During the drastic changes three thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Luo clan tried their best to resist, but still couldn't stop Luo Yu's massacre. However, they managed to rescue the two daughters of the Underworld Sea clan leader. Zi Yue led some clansmen to leave the Underworld Sea territory and look for a place to recuperate. When they broke through to the Great Perfection realm, they would take back the Underworld Sea territory again. At that time, Hong Yue didn't want to leave. In the end, she followed other clansmen and lived at the edge of the desert. She didn't practice any cultivation techniques all her life. In the end, her lifespan was exhausted and she grew old and died in the tribe. The Luo clan was extremely distressed by Hong Yue's death but could do nothing. For thousands of years, they have been waiting silently, waiting for Zi Yue's return. But they all knew that Princess Zi Yue might never come back. Back then, Luo Yu chased and killed them all the way, causing countless casualties. Zi Yue might have died on the run. Now hearing the news that Zi Yue wasn't dead, Luo Yue was extremely excited. But Zhou Peng couldn't be happy. He reanalyzed Zi Yue's words in his heart. From her expression and demeanor at that time, Zhou Peng was sure that Hong Yue was not just a simple sister relationship. There must be extremely important things hidden. What exactly were they? He couldn't figure it out. Looking at the task system in the system again, the task hadn't been canceled. As long as the task continued, it meant that Hong Yue's death wouldn't affect the progress of the task. Then Zhou Peng was shocked and immediately asked, "Is Hong Yue's body still there?" "What do you want to do?" Hong Yue was a princess of the Underworld Sea Race. Now that she was dead, how could an outsider defile her? Luo Yue was immediately angry. The killing intent on his body burst out suddenly. The veins on his arms bulged and a powerful aura was instantly released. "You misunderstood. I always have to give an explanation to City Lord Zi Yue." Zhou Peng immediately explained. But in his heart, he was secretly anxious. "If the body is still intact and I want to take it away, it seems that it won't be an easy thing. I have to think of a way." The atmosphere eased. Luo Yue apologized with a smile and said, "I'm really sorry. Princess Hong Yue's body is still there. And after hundreds of years, it hasn't rotted at all. It's just like she's still alive." "Sure enough." Zhou Peng's heart skipped a beat. He fell silent and showed a look of difficulty. "Does Brother Zhou have any difficulties that are hard to tell?" "Just tell us if you have anything. Since you are sent by Princess Zi Yue, we will do our best to help you." Luo Yue said boldly. The old woman also looked at Zhou Peng and said, "If you have any difficulties, just tell the clan leader." "It's useless to say..." "I'm worried about offending your noble race." "Although City Lord Zi Yue must ask me to bring Hong Yue back, but now..." Zhou Peng stammered and showed a look of difficulty on his face. But in his heart, he was secretly testing. If Luo Yue agreed to let him take Hong Yue's body away, that would be the best. If he didn't agree, what should he do? Rob by force? Luo Yue's strength was not simple. Zhou Peng was no match for him at all. Moreover, there was one more thing. He had no idea where Hong Yue's body was placed. But one thing was certain. This place could be entered. Otherwise, Luo Yue wouldn't say that the body hadn't rotted in hundreds of years. If Luo Yue hadn't gone in and seen it, he definitely wouldn't say such words. It seemed that it was necessary to carefully inspect the terrain. Zhou Peng thought secretly in his heart and made the worst preparations. "Princess Hong Yue's body will not be let you take away. Unless Princess Zi Yue comes in person, no one can take away Princess Hong Yue's body." Luo Yue's eyes flashed and he said resolutely. Zhou Peng had expected such a result long ago. Now he was even more certain that there was a mystery hidden on Hong Yue. Perhaps even Luo Yue, the clan leader of the Luo clan, knew something. Immediately, Zhou Peng didn't continue to insist. He sighed softly and said, "I don't know how to explain to City Lord Zi Yue." With Zhou Peng's sigh, Luo Yue was secretly cautious in his heart. He didn't know Zhou Peng at all. An outsider suddenly appeared in the Underworld Sea territory. Although he was seriously injured, what was his purpose? Wanting Hong Yue's body? Was he really sent by Princess Zi Yue? Or was he sent by Luo Yu? Did he already know that Hong Yue was the saintess of the Underworld Sea Race and possessed the Heart of the Underworld Sea? Thinking of this, Luo Yue became even more puzzled by Zhou Peng's appearance. The Heart of the Underworld Sea within Hong Yue's body was the last hope of the Underworld Sea Race. If it fell into Luo Yu's hands, they might never have a chance to turn things around. For this reason, Luo Yue had to be careful. Only the clan leader of the entire tribe knew about this matter. Others didn't know at all. "Brother Zhou, when you see Princess Zi Yue, just say that Hong Yue is intact and wait for her return." Luo Yue suddenly smiled and said. "Hong Yue is intact and wait for her return?" Zhou Peng repeated this sentence inwardly. He was even more certain that there was definitely something mysterious on Hong Yue, something extremely important, even something that could determine fate. "I remember." Zhou Peng nodded. This matter shouldn't be forced. Forcing it would only make Luo Yue more vigilant. Now he had to make Luo Yue trust him. Although he didn't deceive Luo Yue, Luo Yue's reaction was normal. If he had known a person for less than a day, he couldn't trust him either. "Clan leader." A heroic voice came from outside the tent. Just by hearing the voice, one could tell that this person was a burly man. Luo Yue regained his composure and looked at the old woman and said, "Don't spread the news that Princess Zi Yue is still alive. Luo Feng can't know either." "This old servant understands." Zhou Peng immediately nodded as well. "Come in." Luo Yue coughed half a sound and said. A burly man, a middle-aged man with bulging muscles and holding a trident walked in. Seeing Zhou Peng, he laughed heartily and said, "Hey, kid, you survived?" Zhou Peng felt his aura was very familiar. Thinking of the moment before he fainted, his eyes immediately widened and he said, "Thank you for saving me." "Haha..." The burly man's name was Luo Kuang. He was and didn't care about trifles. But he had a hot temper. He was generous to friends but extremely cruel to enemies. "Luo Kuang, is the bait set?" Luo Yue asked. "It's set." Luo Kuang replied. Then he worriedly asked, "This eighth-level electric eel's crystal core has burst. I'm afraid it can attract tens of thousands of sea beasts. Can our tribe hold it down?" "If we can't hold it down, we have to hold it down." Luo Yue's expression changed slightly and he said, "Today, the messenger of the Demonic Cavalry Armor came and asked us to pay fifteen thousand crystal cores. If we can't pay, I'm afraid the entire clan will be in danger." "What?" Luo Kuang was immediately furious. A fierce and evil aura burst out. His eyes glared and his two sword-like eyebrows stood upright. He was extremely angry. "Big brother, if it goes on like this, it's better to fight. Fifteen thousand crystal cores. Unless we don't let a single sea beast escape this hunt, we won't be able to gather them all." "So, we must hold the exit this time." "Hold the exit? What can we use to hold it? Even if it's you and me, we can't withstand the trampling of tens of thousands of sea beasts. You know Luo Feng's injury. How many of our tribal warriors aren't injured? I think it's good if we can hunt two thousand this time." Luo Kuang said bluntly. "Tens of thousands of sea beasts?" Zhou Peng didn't listen to anything else. Just hearing the words "tens of thousands of sea beasts" made his blood boil. Tens of thousands of sea beasts. How many tens of thousands of experience points would that be? If they were all hunted down, wouldn't he break through to the Void Entrance realm instantly? ". Zhou Peng was excited. He was thrilled. Without thinking much, he immediately said, "To repay your life-saving grace, I will hold the exit and won't let a single sea beast escape." "You?" "You?" Luo Yue and Luo Kuang said in unison. They looked at Zhou Peng in surprise. After being stunned for a few seconds, they ignored him again and started discussing countermeasures. They blatantly ignored him. Zhou Peng's eyes were blank. He didn't expect that his strength was so weak in their eyes. They didn't even look at him seriously. But such a good opportunity, how could Zhou Peng miss it? Now was the crucial moment to break through to the Void Entrance realm. Breaking through to the Void Entrance realm and having Void Entrance divine power would give him more chances of taking away Hong Yue's body. The key was that if he guarded the exit well for them this time, he would definitely gain Luo Yue's trust. At that time, things might be much easier. In addition to these, Zhou Peng also thought of the "Underworld Sea Strange Fire" task. If possible, collecting a little strange fire and taking it back to exchange for merit points would also be good. "Well..." Zhou Peng hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I participate in your hunt?" "You are too weak. You are not suitable. You just stay in the tribe and help Grandma take care of the injured. Moreover, you are not from our tribe. If you get injured, it's not good." Luo Yue replied. Then he started arguing with Luo Kuang again. He was blatantly despised. This was the first time he had been despised so directly and simply. Zhou Peng couldn't say a word. He just wanted to hide in a corner and draw circles to curse them. In any case, he must go. Such a good opportunity to break through to the Void Entrance realm. How could he waste it? Tens of thousands of sea beasts. Where can he find such a holy place for leveling up? Zhou Peng decided to secretly follow them...!
