Chapter 730 Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll!

Cheng Yu looked at Ren Xiaosu as he prepared to leave with Yang Xiaojin and the others. He could not understand what they were talking about. What did setting up camp here have anything to do with waiting for death?

“What do you mean?” Cheng Yu asked.

“Wasn’t the ambush at this place devised by the Pyro Company?” Ren Xiaosu asked. “Of course it was. Who else could it be other than them?” Cheng Yu said.

“And what is the Pyro Company after?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

What the Pyro Company wanted was the DNA samples of supernatural beings!

That was why the Pyro Company members immediately went to collect the DNA samples after the tarantulas attacked the group. But this time, all of the teams had suffered heavy casualties. If they were to set up camp again on the spot, they would probably be attacked immediately by the Pyro Company. This was not speculation but a certainty.

It wasn’t like the rest of the people were stupid either. Something clicked in their minds the moment Ren Xiaosu said that.

No matter what injuries they had sustained, they still got up from the ground.

Yang Xiaojin watched this unfold quietly. Back in the Jing Mountains, if the private troops had listened to Ren Xiaosu’s suggestions more, they would not have been completely wiped out.

No, wait! They were not completely wiped out. Xu Xianchu had still managed to survive.

As they were about to leave, Wang Yun led his subordinates to do something in the forest nearby. However, no one had a clear look at what they were up to.

Curious, Cheng Yu asked, “I saw you all holding some grenades just now. What are you all trying to do?”

Wang Yun smiled and said, “We’re leaving a surprise for the Pyro Company, of course.”

The route Ren Xiaosu chose to leave by had slightly deviated from the original plan. They did not head directly towards the interior of the Pyro Company’s Sacred Mountains in order to avoid encountering the Pyro Company’s combat troops.

Before they could get far, those who had doubted Ren Xiaosu earlier heard an explosion come from the direction of the canyon. Wang Yun’s grenade trap must have been triggered by the Pyro Company’s members.

At this moment, everyone felt a sense of relief. They were fortunate to have left beforehand. Otherwise, the team would have lost even more members.

Cheng Yu found a spot downwind and sat down. One of the wounded suddenly said, “Many of you here are superhumans. Actually, even if we encounter the frontline troops of the Pyro Company, I doubt you all have anything to be afraid of. It’s just that none of you are willing to do anything about it. We haven’t even entered the interior of the Sacred Mountains yet. I’ve calculated that it will take at least another two to three days before we can get there. It wouldn’t be a good thing for all of you if we lose too many people now, right?”

Another wounded person was placed on the ground by his teammates. The wounded person was panting heavily and looked like he was on the verge of dying.

“They’re the ones who were injured today, but we might be the ones to get injured tomorrow. In a place like this where we can’t even call for backup, the consequence of getting injured is death,” a middle-aged man said.

“Why are you saying such depressing things now?” Luo Lan curled his lips. “We’re all here for our own interests, so don’t make it sound like we’re martyrs.”

But no matter what Luo Lan said, it would not change this fact.

Even though they were all from different forces, everyone came here with the same purpose. The deaths of the others would also somehow cause them to feel depressed. Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu heard the voice from the palace say in his mind, “Quest: Show the wounded there is hope.”

Ren Xiaosu frowned. The definition of this quest was way too vague. How was he supposed to show them there was hope?

He looked at the wounded personnel, then at Luo Lan before suddenly taking out a small vial of black medicine and pointing at the wound on Luo Lan’s leg. “This is a secret ancestral remedy. Luo Lan was also shot just now, but his wound has already started healing. In another eight hours, he will be able to move freely again like a normal person. The wound will fully recover in two days.”

When everyone heard this, they immediately turned to look at Luo Lan. Indeed, the gunshot wound on Fatty Luo’s leg had already stopped bleeding

Earlier, some people noticed Ren Xiaosu had secretly applied the medicine for Luo Lan. However, they did not expect the medicine to be so miraculous.

Everyone’s eyes lit up. Immediately after, they saw Ren Xiaosu put the black medicine back into his pocket.

Cheng Yu wondered, “Didn’t you take the medicine out for everyone to use? Why did you put it away again?”

“Oh?” Ren Xiaosu replied, “I just wanted to show it to you all.”

Cheng Yu was confused. So were the wounded. Based on Ren Xiaosu’s understanding, the palace had only issued a quest for him to show his teammates hope. Since they had seen it, he felt it should be enough.

The voice from the palace said, “Quest complete. Awarded Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll!”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. He wondered that if the palace’s reward criteria had a correlation to the quest’s completion level, then did it mean the palace thought he had done a good job this time?

For a moment, Ren Xiaosu could not figure out what the palace was really trying to get him to

do.

But no matter what, the reward was still a Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll. He had not received such a good item in a long time!

Luo Lan’s power that allowed him to summon his dead friends had been on Ren Xiaosu’s mind for too long now. He really had very high hopes for this power.

In the current times, the lives of humans were as worthless as weeds. One minute, you could be chatting with your friends, and the next, danger and disaster might befall everyone.

Perhaps those friends might lose their freedoms after they became the golden figures that protected the user, but this was the only power Ren Xiaosu had come across so far that could “extend” life.

Moreover, Luo Lan’s dead comrades clearly still retained consciousness.

As Luo Lan’s mental strength was limited, he could not keep those golden figures outside for long. But it was different for Ren Xiaosu. He could!

It could be assumed that Luo Lan had only awakened such a power because he sincerely cherished the lives of those soldiers.

Superpowers were an extension of a person’s willpower.

But just as Ren Xiaosu was about to use this Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll on Luo Lan, he hesitated again.

That was because Ren Xiaosu knew that Luo Lan was someone who always pretended to be weak, so he must have many other master-level and above skills on him. What if he could not pick that specific superpower to copy?

Would life be that smooth-sailing? Could he always get what he wanted? In the past, he might have managed to duplicate the right skills because of Yan Liuyuan’s luck enhancement on him. But now that he did not have the luck enhancement anymore, Ren Xiaosu had to be more cautious.

Ren Xiaosu looked at Luo Lan and wondered if he should first incapacitate all of Luo Lan’s other master-level skills before using the scroll on him?

But how should he incapacitate him? Break his hands and legs?

Luo Lan realized that Ren Xiaosu was sizing him up, but he was a little spooked by it. He got an ominous feeling.

But at this moment, the voice from the palace said. “You may choose to learn a specific skill using three Perfect Skill Duplication Scrolls.”

Ren Xiaosu’s eyes lit up. Although it was a little wasteful to use three scrolls to learn a specific skill, it would definitely be worth it when said skill was especially important!
