“Killed Moksha Realm Ninja King in a unique manner. Assessing the level of danger for the battle…

“Danger Level: Class S!

“Battle Assessment: Class A!

“Comprehension +1. Level for Golden Bell Cocoon increased by 1. Golden Bell Cocoon: Level 97.67. Level for Seven Stars Sword Styles increased by 1. Seven Stars Sword Styles: Level 97.31.

“Ninja King has died. Please hurry and kill the remaining ninjas in the second level of the royal mausoleum so that you can return to the Murong Clan and report your success!”

Happy lay quietly on the pile of rubble in the tomb while he stared at Ninja King’s corpse in the distance before finally releasing a huge sigh of relief. He relaxed and just breathed a few times before he sat up cross-legged with great difficulty under Old Swordsman’s indifferent gaze. He then fed himself a Dew Pill and activated Constellation Breathing Technique.

Quite a number of bones in his body were shattered, and he was in great pain. Doing any sort of action was extremely difficult. Fortunately, he had the protective incense pouch with him, and Old Swordsman was sitting by the side, protecting him. Otherwise, Happy would not have dared to be so arrogant and careless that he would heal himself without any hesitation.

Once Ninja King died, he was considered to have completed his clan quest, and what remained was just some normal tasks of clean up.

Happy used a few minutes to treat his wounds before taking another Dew Pill. Then, he checked his Universe Bag. He had used up quite a lot of Dew Pills in his trip to the royal mausoleum. Four bottles were gone!

“Well, it’s worth it!”

Happy cast a glance at the Ninja King’s corpse, which was not very far away from him, and put on a happy smile. He walked over slowly and crouched down before he started groping about. In the end, he brought out a silver Universe Bag, and the smile on his face grew brighter. His heart quickly began racing in excitement.

He had thought that with an NPC joining the battle and contributing the most in killing Ninja King, he would not be able to get any loot from the fight!

He quickly opened the Universe Bag and looked inside.

He shuddered.

A sparkling, golden armor lay in the Universe Bag.

“No way… so good?”

Happy got so excited that his throat became dry. He gulped laboriously and brought out the Golden Armor.

When he held it in his hands, he felt that it was different from what he expected.

His expression changed.

“No way?”

He brought it up and took a good look at it. There were plenty of sword tears on the armor, and it was damaged in multiple areas. There was even a terrifying hole at the chest.

[Damaged Golden Armor:

[An armor belonging to a general from the Yan Dynasty. During the fight between Ninja King and Old Swordsman, Golden Armor was badly damaged. It cannot be worn and has lost its protective functions. It can only be repaired if the user finds Stone with Water, Unakite, and Vajra Stone and ask a Master Level Tailor to repair it.

[The repaired armor will provide 800 defense. Reduce 20% of internal injury damage ,and maintains the user’s posture unless instant damage dealt surpasses personal defense and damage is more than 1,000. If conditions are not met, user’s posture will remain, and actions will not be interrupted. Increase dodge rate by 20%. Increase Body Movement by 10.]

It was an incredibly great equipment with great attributes!

But when Happy saw the descriptions at the start, he suddenly felt helpless and gloomy, so much so that he wanted to cry, but could not. There was no way he would be able to wear the damaged Golden Armor for the time being.

Even though he could repair it, there was no way he could easily find a Master Level Tailor.

Besides, among the three items that were mentioned, aside from Vajra Stone, which was something dropped by Ninja King’s clone, and which he already had, the other two crystals were something that he remembered being pretty rare even in his previous life!

As of then, there should be no one who had Stone with Water or Unakite. Even if someone had been digging through crystal mines or ore mines day in and day out for half a year since the game was launched, it was impossible for them to have obtained it.

Those two items were at the second level of the crystal mines and in a narrow cave.

Even though that place was small, there was a Stone King that served as a garrison there, and he was a rare monster that made many martial artists so wary of him that they did not dare to venture near it. That monster was born from high-grade ores.

Its qi cultivation was equal to that of Ninja King equipped with Golden Armor, but Stone King was even more durable, and his defense was higher. He was not slow either, and even Old Swordsman would not be his opponent!

Perhaps because Old Swordsman had been the main contributor in killing Ninja King, there nothing else in the Universe Bag aside from this damaged and useless Golden Armor. It made Happy really disappointed.

But fortunately for him, the most difficult part of the quest was over.

Once he returned to the Murong Clan, he should be able to receive some good rewards.

When he thought of that, Happy finally decided to forget about the great disappointment brought by the damaged Golden Armor. He sighed and tossed the armor into his Universe Bag.

He focused, and his gaze suddenly land on Ninja King’s silver Universe Bag.

Happy’s eyes swiftly brightened up. ‘Happy, you idiot. You didn’t just get one “souvenir” from this trip! Silver Universe Bags can also be considered as masterpieces. Not only can they contain more items, they are more exquisite and easier to carry. They can be used to fend against the petty tricks used by thieves and bandits.’

Happy quickly transferred all the items from his Universe Bag into the silver Universe Bag, then tied it to his waist and hid it under his belt. There was no bulge since it was really thin.

The Universe Bag’s mouth was facing upwards, and Happy left it open so that it would not affect his speed when he took out items during battle.

“I can’t be considered to have received nothing.”

Happy smiled and cast a glance at Old Swordsman before he lifted his feet and left the tomb with the heirloom seal.

*****

He faced no obstacles in the tunnel to the right in the second level of the royal mausoleum while he went to an area near the main hall located at the end of the second level of the royal mausoleum.

Even Happy had to stop when he arrived at that place. He observed the group of ninjas in the hall from the distance while staying on guard. There were dozens of Cloning Ninjas and Japanese Ninjas mixed together, and there were even a few Shadow Warriors who had cold gazes mixed in. He could also see dozens of Knife-throwing Ninjas at the back.

That lineup was even more terrifying than Ninja King!

If he went in there recklessly, he would surely die.

But Happy could see a few familiar faces at the other end of the hall. They were doing their best to use all sorts of hand signals to catch his attention.

Happy was stunned for a moment before he smiled.

Flap, flap, flap!

A snow-white messenger pigeon flew over.

[Where’s Ninja King? You shook him off?]

[Yup! He’s held back by a puppet. There are quite a lot of ninjas in the hall, so let’s work together. Each side should lure half of the ninjas into their tunnel.] When Happy replied to the message, he also made a suggestion.

[Alright!]

The reply from the other side was very simple.

Thud!

Thud!

The ninjas in the hall suddenly noticed that invaders had appeared in both tunnels. They let out a strange cry and split up to charge at the enemies closest to them.

All of them moved and charged into the tunnels.

There were hundreds of people in the tunnel across from Happy. They had made preparations and blocked off the ninjas in a corner. Because of that, the Knife-throwing Ninjas behind the rest did not have a clear field of vision and could not attack. The players then began to shave off the Cloning Ninjas and Japanese Ninjas one by one.

Happy’s side was even more exciting!

Because he was alone…

Once he lured a large group of ninjas into the depths of the tunnel, soldier puppets rushed at them. Then, Happy activated his improved Golden Bell Cocoon and charged into the midst of the ninjas as well!
