Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 639: Chapter 572: Little Best Chapter 639: Chapter 572: Little Best “What’s going on?

How did you get caught?”

Tao Yu asked casually, his interest piqued.

He hadn’t expected Saruman to actually detain Pioneers, originally thinking it was just those three.

Those three had been collared and put to work by Saruman, while the situation with Gant remained unclear.

When Gant, his face bruised, heard Tao Yu’s words, he replied with a bitter expression,

“I teamed up with Master Pu Zi to take on an exploration task of this world, and we heard about a famous white-robed wizard here, but then… oh…”

Gant was considered a standout in the New Development Area, a Senior Partner, and Pu Zi was nearly a World Breaker.

Add to that a mechanical adjustment for surveillance and drones, and an entity with insect Perception.

It was a formidable team, even luxurious by Old Development Area standards.

Ordinarily, gathering information in the World Fragment was not a major issue; despite their youth, they had plenty of experience passed down from their elders.

“False information kills, they said it was a renowned white-robed wizard, but we had just sent a drone to scout and saw something we shouldn’t have, then he captured us, we were at an informational disadvantage…”

Gant shook his head in dismay.

Who would have thought that this ostensibly righteous and saintly white-robed wizard would secretly engage in such disgraceful acts?

It completely baffled them.

“Later he asked us if we were willing to serve him, if so, we should wear a collar.

We tried different things, the three of them wore the collars, and I looked for an opportunity to return for help, but the place where he kept me had high energy reactions, making it impossible to escape…”

Tao Yu nodded at Gant’s words.

Under the assumption that the native inhabitants of the fragment didn’t know the Pioneers’ information, the Pioneers had a great chance to flee.

But alas, Saruman was a powerful wizard, and the place he used for detention was no ordinary prison.

After all, it was capable of containing even Gandalf.

“Alright, you’re relatively lucky, those three have already been executed by Saruman.”

Tao Yu gestured with his lips toward the three stripped bodies on the ground.

Gant, having seen them wear collars, knew that these three headless corpses, their heads exploded like watermelons, were indeed killed by the white-robed wizard.

This made him somewhat frightened and also a bit envious of Tao Yu.

All along, this Mr.

Tao really had good luck.

Inner Power System, Unobtainium, Spice, he had secured considerable resources.

With the support of the Suns, he was clearly reaping significant benefits.

Seeing so many people beside him, he realized that they must have leveraged local forces and successfully seized control here!

The specific benefits he didn’t know, but he saw people rummaging through towers earlier.

Just from Pu Zi, the son of Floating City alone, the loot must have been substantial!

“Mr.

Tao, our team flipped this time, heavy losses; Master Pu Zi is dead, so I fear I must go back and explain.”

Gant said cautiously.

“Yeah, just tell the truth.”

Tao Yu understood what Gant was implying, whether to hide his own involvement.

If it were before, Tao Yu would indeed worry about the trouble.

After all, even if he didn’t kill them himself, having looted quite a bit from Pu Zi, he could still draw some attention.

When one was weak, one couldn’t afford the scrutiny from Floating City.

But now, it was time to flex his muscles a bit; Pu Zi’s family only had one Catastrophe Level, Tao Yu really didn’t mind these minor issues.

“Thank you, Mr.

Tao, I’ll make sure to tell it exactly as it was, it was that white-robed wizard’s doing.”

Gant breathed a slight sigh of relief in his heart.

Although his status was not low, coming out with Puzi and then returning alone would surely bring him trouble!

After all, he was just an Inner City offspring.

Even though the Gan Family was the foremost family in the Inner City, and to some extent could be compared to some of the struggling families of Floating City, they still fell far short of a family with a Catastrophe Level member like Puzi’s.

Now that the “Eight-Armed Vajra” had agreed to explain himself, there was no doubt he could avoid some unnecessary torment.

Otherwise, if he had been killed to vent someone’s anger, his family could hardly say anything…

…

Tao Yu watched as Gant hastily left Orthanc, borrowed a horse, and headed straight for the Rainforest to leave Middle-earth and find a place to return.

He knew the impact on him here was quite significant.

Hearing that the White-Robed Wizard Saruman Wei Guangzheng had nearly perished upon setting foot here, one would naturally start to question their life.

Now, having cleaned up the battlefield, apart from the gains from digestion, Tao Yu had indeed scavenged quite a bit from the area.

First were the White Robe and Black Scepter left behind by Saruman as he fled the Innate Barrier.

[Black Scepter]: An item crafted of a magical material that enhances the vitality of spiritual power and the condensation of mental force; the scepter’s attack will add a proportion of spiritual damage according to the bearer’s spiritual power; can absorb ten thousand Yuan Force.

[Wizard’s White Robe]: A symbol of status, wearing the robe presents a bright image to others, disguises negative aura, and has excellent mental and physical defense; can absorb fifteen thousand Yuan Force.

It must be said, both items were quite impressive, especially the [Wizard’s White Robe] which delighted Tao Yu, as it could cover the more feminine aura he currently carried.

And it inherently possessed excellent defensive capabilities, not just a purely support item.

“Looks like it’ll be a scepter in one hand, a sword in the other from now on.”

Tao Yu used to have a Black Iron Greatsword with a Concentration Effect, but its level was too low and it had long since become ineffective, resulting in its disuse.

This [Black Scepter] just nicely filled that gap.

With the [Black Scepter] in his left hand and the [Sword of Light and Shadow] in his right, draped in the [Wizard’s White Robe], he was indeed becoming quite orthodox.

Aside from Saruman’s two items, the other things, although of some value, were of little use to Tao Yu himself.

However, pieced together, they were worth at least several hundred thousand Yuan Force.

Adding in some items from Puzi, the value broke the million mark.

And Tao Yu, checking Puzi’s corpse and extracting his spinal cord, discovered several special runes engraved on it.

[Inheritance Runes]: Limited to bloodline use, grants a certain shapeshifting ability.

Because it was bloodline-restricted and there was corresponding pollution information interference, Tao Yu, not implanting it himself, could not tell what this shapeshifting ability was.

Even though his own abilities were already quite formidable from The Underworld, he had no interest in stuffing things into his body willy-nilly.

He decided to just set it aside for now, planning to later ask Puzi’s family if they would like to redeem it.

“Since it’s bloodline-restricted, it should be quite valuable.”

Tao Yu also had a [Neural Acceleration Module] mechanical modification device, which he could now actually consider selling.

Later, Tao Yu casually divined the items dug up from Puzi.@@novelbin@@

However, he was slightly surprised the next moment as he watched the spinning coin, somewhat astonished.

The divination was interfered with…

“Although I don’t know the reason, Floating City indeed has some anti-divination artifacts, but what is he hiding…”

Tao Yu then performed Spirit Communication on the other two Inner City Pioneers.

Although the information fragments were messy and incomplete, there were relatively no traces of interference.

This made Tao Yu hesitate and feel uncertain, yet he remained cautious.

He would see if Puzi’s family had any reactions when he returned…

“It’d be just the right time to sell the items back to you and see if you’d take the opportunity to cause trouble.”

Tao Yu thought fishing might still be feasible, as the risks were currently manageable for him…
