Chapter 243: Chapter 243 – I Choose 3!

Translator: 549690339

Jiang Xiaobai swore that he had never seen such a stunning scene in his life.

If there were other cultivators here at this very moment, they would undoubtedly be scared shitless, losing consciousness from fear.

Yes, merely witnessing such a scene could stir such fear!

Simply because, the sight before them was too terrifying.

The massive black silhouette was indeed a mountain, looking vast from afar, and when they drew nearer, it genuinely seemed endless.

And this mountain was a hollow stone one, filled with numerous small and large holes.

What unsettled Jiang Xiaobai more was that from these holes, mad dogs would occasionally peek out.

As the pack of mad dogs drew closer, the initially quiet Great Skull Mountain began to teem with life.

Bang!

The sky seemed to have exploded, as the pack of mad dogs began barking and howling.

The sound was deafening!

The sky seemed to shatter under the cacophonous howls.

From the endless towering mountains, countless crimson eyes emerged, their glow alone illuminating the sky.

The entire mountain silhouette was completely exposed before their eyes.

In that instant, both Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan felt a chill from their feet rising to their heads.

Goosebumps appeared on their skin, their bodies trembling!

“Gulp”

AnRan swallowed and stuttered, his face full of fear and quivering, “Boss, I… I finally understand why those powers didn’t think about fighting the mad dogs.”

“No… no shit, I’m not blind!”

Jiang Xiaobai replied arrogantly, unconsciously wiping the sweat from his forehead.

There were just too many.

Their drooling mouths could drown him and AnRan entirely.

This scale of terror, even if all the people from the top factions who came to Mad Demon Valley gathered here, it would not make a difference.

It would be inadequate, to say the least.

“Boss, shall…shall we continue?” AnRan kept swallowing his saliva to suppress the fear in his heart.

Jiang Xiaobai, shivering, was about to speak when his body suddenly shivered.

“Congratulations, you have triggered a choice!”

“Choice one: Leave the mad dog den, reward ten years of cultivation.”

“Choice two: Approach within twenty miles of the mad dog den, reward fifteen years of cultivation.”

“Choice three: Enter the mad dog den and steal at least one Frenzy Demon Stone, reward twenty reputation points, thirty years of cultivation, and a lower immortal stone.”

The system actually proposed choices at this moment.

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned. How was he supposed to proceed? Clear as day, going into the mad dog den to steal would be suicidal.

It was absolutely suicidal. These mad dogs varied in strength, but there were just too many of them. They could easily swarm him in the blink of an eye.

Die instantly without enjoying the rewards? What a joke!

Looking at the reward for the third option, it was extremely tempting.

Especially the thirty years of cultivation. Jiang Xiaobai was certain that if he received these thirty years of cultivation, he would be able to achieve Transcendence.

Even if he couldn’t achieve Transcendence, it would increase his progress significantly, making the Transcendence stage a closer goal.

“Boss?” AnRan saw that Jiang Xiaobai didn’t react and suddenly felt panic rise in his heart.

He had a feeling that his boss was about to drop a bombshell.

And his weak heart would not be able to handle it.

At that moment, Jiang Xiaobai was lost in thought.

“Only a tiny bit more to the initial stage of Transcendence, this is a golden opportunity!”

“The reward is so generous it’s unbelievable, whether it’s reputation points, or that immortal stone, they are both rare acquisitions.”

“Especially reputation points, they are the most precious stuff. Even in this life-threatening mission, there are only twenty reputation points!”

Jiang Xiaobai was having second thoughts.

He was well aware of how much help it would be to his plan if he could make a breakthrough and reach the Transcendence stage at this moment.

Not only would it greatly increase his own strength, but it would also complete the previous mission.

Stabilising cultivation was certainly beneficial, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t know exactly how, but it must be of great benefit.

Most importantly, there was a random teleportation token in this choice of the mission.

A life-saving item!

However you calculate it, it’s worthwhile. But the problem was, if he truly accepted the mission, it would be suicidal.

With so many mad dogs, sneaking in to steal, wasn’t it seeking death?

If discovered, he would be instantly engulfed by the waves of mad dogs.

Dead as a doornail.

On one hand death, on the other, significant gains.

The more significant the risk, the more substantial the gains, you gotta risk it to get the biscuit.

An excellent method to get rich quickly, indeed!

However…

Jiang Xiaobai abruptly lifted his head, his gaze fixed on the mountain silhouette ahead, and a glint of resolve flickered in his eyes.

“Boss, you’re not…”

“Stop babbling, just wait here, I’ll be right back!”

Jiang Xiaobai said, intending to test his plan to see if it would succeed. If it worked, he would take the mission!

AnRan by his side was stunned, freaking out, fearing that his boss was courting death!

AnRan wanted to say something, but Jiang Xiaobai disregarded him. In an instant, he disappeared from the spot using earth escape technique.

Leaving only AnRan standing there in a daze.

At that moment, Jiang Xiaobai was slowly moving underground using his earth escape technique. Honestly, he had to summon great courage to use this method here.

That was because he didn’t know what unusual things might hide in the earth of Mad Demon Valley. What if there was some unknown danger lurking underground?

Fortunately, there were no problems after using the earth escape technique, proving it to be pretty robust.

The two thousand or more mad dogs ahead were slowly moving towards the mountain. Along the way, there was continuous barking and howling, all very lively.

Jiang Xiaobai quietly snuck up, simultaneously launching his “Divine Concealment” to its maximum state. He soon arrived below the pack of mad dogs.

Jiang Xiaobai held his breath, sensing his surroundings and then gradually eased his breath.

The mad dogs hadn’t discovered him.

Next, he moved near the back end of the mad dog pack, gritted his teeth, and emerged from the ground.

Just as he came out, the last mad dog instantly turned its head, snarling at the direction where Jiang Xiaobai was standing.

The noise alarmed the pack of mad dogs, and almost all the mad dogs turned their heads towards Jiang Xiaobai.

“Roar!”

“Woof!”

The furious roar of the mad dogs echoed, and a flock of mad dogs, like a tidal wave, rushed towards Jiang Xiaobai.

This scene almost scared Jiang Xiaobai out of his soul. Without any hesitation, he immediately dived into the ground using the earth escape technique.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai disappear in a flash, the leading mad dogs were taken aback. They hurried to the spot where Jiang Xiaobai had been standing, sniffed around, and disheartenedly scratched the ground with their paws.

Eventually, they gave up after a few furious roars.

Jiang Xiaobai, hiding underground, let out a sigh of relief.

At the same time, an excited smile appeared on his face.

The plan was viable!

“System, I choose the third option!”
