Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Making a Fortune

Translator: 549690339

A joke! The power of the Heavenly Fire isn’t something this Ghost Crocodile can withstand!

Almost instantly when Jiang Xiaobai ignited the Heavenly Fire, the horrifying high temperature had incinerated everything around him into nothingness.

The Ghost Crocodile struggled only momentarily before it died on the spot.

Jiang Xiaobai quickly sealed the deadly weapon, panting heavily, and hastily absorbed a handful of Lingshi.

“Damn it, even after breaking through to the early stages of Transcendence, my power isn’t enough to sustain the Heavenly Fire for a long duration. Just a short while, and it nearly drained half of my Spirit Force?”

Jiang Xiaobai was secretly shocked.

Luckily he really did manage to break through, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to activate the Heavenly Fire like that. Even if he did, it would only have been for an instant and wouldn’t have been as effective as it was now.

But nonetheless, Jiang Xiaobai managed to get out of his current predicament.

He immediately crawled out through a gap created by the fire. Looking back, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but shake his head.

The huge body of the Ghost Crocodile was almost instantly burned into two by the Heavenly Fire. The burned part seemed to disappear into thin air.

Poor thing, a leader at the Peak of the Late Integration Stage, died such an unknown death.

“Can’t blame anyone for this, nobody asked you to eat me, right?”

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and then quickly made his exit.

That Ghost Crocodile was indeed a king among its kind. Hence, there weren’t any more crocs rushing over from this large area. Jiang Xiaobai bolted after slipping out of the swamp, not encountering any Ghost Crocodiles along the way.

Thus, he managed to exit the danger zone safely, letting out a huge sigh of relief.

He looked at the dark space in the distance, his lips curling into a cold smile.

“Hmph, now that I am in the early stages of Transcendence, I have many more tricks up my sleeve. I really want to see what you guys can do to me!”

“Just wait for me to take my revenge!”

After finishing his sentence, Jiang Xiaobai let AnRan out.

Feeling the fresh air outside, AnRan burst into tears of joy.

“God, it was so dangerous. Is this how risky adventures are? I want to go home, I want to go find my mother!” AnRan began to talk nonsense.

Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded, and gave him a smack on the behind.

“What the hell are you talking about, wanting to go back and find your mother?”

“It’s just a bit dangerous following me, but you were supposed to experience danger, right? We are not adventuring, we are pursuing revenge.”

AnRan glared at Jiang Xiaobai and complained, “Ah, Boss, I’ve known you for so long and must say that when it comes to creating trouble, you are top-notch.”

“If you dare to claim the second spot, no one in this world dares to claim the first.”

“Following you is simply too exhausting.”

“Go away.” Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand impatiently, “Alright, spare me your post-traumatic philosophy. Let’s gather our loot and start making money.”

Upon hearing the word ‘money’, AnRan’s eyes started to shine immediately.

This fat guy only loves money, he’s literally letting it control his life.

His previous fear was completely gone. He immediately grabbed Jiang Xiaobai’s hand, “Let’s go, Boss. Today let’s make a fortune. When we get out, I don’t demand much, just give me a share.”

“Given our close relationship, you definitely wouldn’t be stingy, right?”

“Get lost. We’ll talk about what happens after we get out, I have a feeling that it won’t be peaceful after this time.” Jiang Xiaobai muttered.

“Humph, there’s never a single day of peace with you.”

Regarding AnRan’s complaints, Jiang Xiaobai did not respond, he really had a feeling.

It suddenly appeared.

Just now, a sudden heart palpitation, he didn’t know why.

It felt like a premonition.

“Whatever, let’s focus on the current problems first.”

Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself, and didn’t overthink. He began gathering wealth with AnRan again, or rather picking up money.

With his method, finding the Ghost Mother Flowers was as simple as cutting leeks.

Afterward, they madly collected a significant amount of Ghost Mother Flowers, ending up with nearly a hundred of them, which was quite the fortune.

“We’re rich! When we get out of here we’ll officially be rich. With billions of top grade Lingshi, I’ve never seen so much money in my entire life!” AnRan excitedly yelled.

Jiang Xiaobai, on the other hand, was indifferent. Money or no money didn’t matter much to him.

Because damn it, this bit of money wasn’t enough!

“Sorry Boss, it’s just that my money making method isn’t good enough. Please don’t be too angry.” Jiang Xiaobai sighed inwardly.

If outsiders knew what he was thinking, he would probably be slapped in the face and shouted at — Do you have no shame?

“It’s about time, we can’t waste any more time. Let’s go find Xiao Yuwei.” After checking his loot, Jiang Xiaobai urgently led AnRan to find Xiao Yuwei.

This place was too vast. Apart from meeting Xiao Wuwei due to good luck before, they hadn’t seen anyone else.

Finally, they found Xiao Yuwei who was solo battling a Purple Stone Beast in the late stages of Transcendence.

There were several experts standing nearby ready to help at any time.

I have to say, it’s only this time that Jiang Xiaobai really got to see Xiao Yuwei’s combat abilities. She easily suppressed the Purple Stone Beast, seeming to destroy it at any moment.

And as the princess of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, her moves were numerous. The Purple Stone Beast was no match for her.

Jiang Xiaobai had not been there for long when she pierced the Purple Stone Beast’s head with a sword.

After removing the purple gem from its head, Xiao Yuwei turned her gaze to Jiang Xiaobai. “How’re your gains?”

“Huge.”

“Guaranteed to make you the top winner of this round.” Jiang Xiaobai said with a light smile.

Upon hearing this, the crowd sneered at him.

“Jiang Bai, don’t flatter yourself. What capability do you have to make such a boast?”

The Transcendence Stage powerhouse who had been on bad terms with Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but sneer.

But the moment he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly appeared in front of him, with his sword aimed at his throat.

“Say one more word, and I’ll take your head off.”

Jiang Xiaobai’s face was expressionless and his voice was ice cold.

All of this happened in a flash, everyone’s gaze shifted to him in annoyance.

Just as someone was about to speak, Xiao Yuwei let out a cold huff.

“Enough Jiang Bai, don’t think you can do as you please just because you’ve broken through.”

Xiao Yuwei spoke in a cold voice, “Hand over the stuff. If not, don’t blame me for being rude.”
