The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 625 - 22: Abyss Demon Coin, Spirit Court Guard_2

But he doesn't have any good solutions either.

In the current situation, he can only follow the main group.

If he strays off on his own.

For small personal ships like theirs, they wouldn't get far before being devoured by the Star Thieves, not even leaving a bone shard behind.

"Although it's not exactly a rare event... but to be this unlucky, to encounter it the first time I step out.

There's still a feeling of having a Gugu Bird around...

Misfortune always lingers..."

Lu Yuan sighed inwardly.

In the following time, Lu Yuan didn't have the heart to continue cultivating.

After some thought, he decided to hide back in the Cultivation Room and take out that huge pile of messy items he bought earlier at Ellis Trade Square.

He activated the [Extraordinary Contact] skill on his [Mysterious Scholar (Extraordinary)] profession panel, summoning the gray vortex connecting to the unknown, then tossed in the items one by one.

"[Extraordinary Contact], Experience Points +1..."

"[Extraordinary Contact], Experience Points +1..."

.....

Lu Yuan watched the experience points of the [Extraordinary Contact] skill on his profession panel jump up bit by bit, purely killing time out of boredom.

Previously, when he tossed fruits into the vortex, every time after a throw, the creature on the other end would return a thoroughly gnawed core.

Now this pile of odds and ends looks about finished... yet there's no response at all.

Well, not exactly.

When Lu Yuan tossed in some unknown concoctions with dubious effects that smelled slightly foul and seemed to be scraped together from some stall.

A few wisps of green smoke emerged from the vortex, looking much like the stinky fumes after a tummy ache...

"Whoosh——"

As the pile of items was about to be entirely sacrificed, Lu Yuan grabbed a black, hard object, uncertain whether it was a joint or a stone, and casually threw it into the gray vortex.

After this round of "sacrifice," his [Extraordinary Contact] had already leveled up to lv2, along with gaining some experience in his [Mysterious Scholar (Extraordinary)] profession, getting closer to the next level.

As he was contemplating, the gray vortex in front of him gradually shrank.

Lu Yuan was just about to seamlessly transition to the next round of summoning and sacrifice.

But at that moment....

"Pop——"

Just like the sound of spitting watermelon seeds, at the moment the gray vortex was about to vanish, a bright, sudden object flew out from the vortex.

With a "ding" sound, it landed on the ground with a clear and pleasant ring.

Lu Yuan's action of grabbing the next sacrificial item instantly froze, and his whole body was stunned, staring at the unexpected, unanticipated "return item," gradually showing a strange expression on his face.

He reached out and gently picked up the item that fell on the ground.

Lu Yuan didn't know how to describe this object.

It looked like a crudely made trinket.

About the size of two fingernails, it was unknown what kind of metal it was forged from, dark yellow in color, slightly hot to the touch, and even emitted a faint, sulfur-like pungent smell.

The shape of this metal piece was irregular, with one side smooth and shiny, clean and tidy.

The other side had a pattern.

It was a strange creature with skinny arms and legs but a large, round belly.

Grinning widely, it revealed a mouth full of tiny, sharp teeth.

It looked bizarre, eerie, yet somewhat comical and laughable. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Hee hee hee——"

As Lu Yuan examined the metal piece in his hand, suddenly a strange, evil giggle sounded in his ear.

"Who?!"

Lu Yuan abruptly looked up, scanning the surroundings.

Initially thinking it might be the Star Thieves attacking the spaceship systems again.

But after a thorough check....

The eerie, creepy laughter seemed to be emanating from the strange metal piece in his hand.

Lu Yuan tried a few more times.

Sure enough, as long as he held the metal piece and gently rubbed the side with the strange creature pattern, he could hear the eerie "hee hee" laughter.

The sharp, piercing laughter matched perfectly with the skinny-legged, big-bellied creature on the metal piece.

"What exactly did I throw into the vortex?"

Lu Yuan stared at the metal piece in his hand, recalling his last sacrificial process.

If he remembered correctly, what he threw into the gray vortex should have been a piece of..."fossil" bought casually from Old Man Qiqino's stall?

Unclear.

Probably Qiqino himself wasn't sure.

But who would've thought that after sacrificing that little thing to the vortex, something would actually be returned!

This was Lu Yuan's first truly "successful sacrifice."

"The question is... what exactly is this thing for?"

Lu Yuan mused as he looked at the strange metal piece in his hand: "Being able to emit eerie laughter, it's obviously not an ordinary item, at least an extraordinary artifact...

Oh right, I almost forgot I have that skill!"

Lu Yuan lightly tapped his forehead.

On the [Mysterious Scholar (Extraordinary)] profession panel, there are three basic professional skills.

Apart from [Chaos Divination] and [Extraordinary Contact], there's also [Mysterious Perception], isn't it exactly for situations like this?

"Haven't used it for so long, almost forgot I had this skill...

Let's give it a try."

Lu Yuan held the metal piece and attempted to activate [Mysterious Perception].

As the skill activated, the metal piece in his hand seemed to heat up suddenly.

Immediately after, a piece of information was relayed to Lu Yuan's mind—

[An Abyss Coin sealing a Fallen Demon.]

[Toss it, and you have a chance to unseal it, summoning the greedy Fallen Demon from the coin.

PS: If it's in a good mood, maybe it will help you once.]

"Abyss Coin... Fallen Demon..."

"So, the strange creature depicted on this coin is what they call a Fallen Demon from the Abyss?

Just tossing the coin can summon it?"

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, finding it unbelievable.

The first successful use of [Extraordinary Contact] actually got him such an item.

It seems pretty useful, able to bring out a temporary helper during crucial moments.

But it seems there's quite a bit of uncertainty.

If luck isn't on your side, what gets summoned might not be a helper, but an opponent eager for your life.

"Perhaps I should find a chance to try it out..."

Lu Yuan didn't plan on keeping this thing with him for too long.

The words Abyss, Demon... along with the effects of this Fallen Demon Coin.

It looks like a restless time bomb, possibly going off unexpectedly.

However, acquiring this Fallen Demon Coin ignited a strong interest in Lu Yuan for the skill [Extraordinary Contact].

Succeed once, then there might be a second, third time....

Exchanging some worthless "junk" for some strange objects that might come in handy.

It's definitely a worthwhile endeavor.

"And... what exactly is the Abyss?

Next time in the Crow Dreamscape, I should ask the Crow God if she knows anything..."

Lu Yuan toyed casually with the Fallen Demon Coin in his hand as he pondered.

He was just about to offer the remaining few items as sacrifice, hoping for another stroke of luck.

At this moment, the door to the Cultivation Room was knocked.

Lu Yuan's expression shifted, quickly pocketing the coin, then opened the door and stepped out decisively.

Lu Feng stood outside, looking at him calmly.

"What's up?"

Lu Yuan asked.

"Good news."

Lu Feng replied, "We might be arriving at Lilva Planet soon."

"Hmm?!"

Lu Yuan felt a mix of surprise and excitement, unable to contain himself: "The Star Thieves are gone?"

"Yes."

Lu Feng nodded.

"They've temporarily left, shouldn't be coming back anytime soon."

"Why?"

Lu Yuan was curious.

Lu Feng didn't explain, just led him towards the observation deck.

Upon arrival, Lu Yuan saw the scene outside the spacecraft through the porthole.

At the front of their fleet, a silver-white spacecraft was taking the lead position.

Lu Yuan, being observant, noticed that the top of the spacecraft had a silver-white mecha hovering above it.

It looked quite large, entirely silver-white.

It had a pair of sleek white metal wings and a lizard-like long tail.

The mecha emitted a strong white glow all over, strangely giving off an aura of superiority and inviolable sanctity in the dark, silent night sky.

"It's a Spirit Court Guard."

Lu Feng's voice softly echoed in his ear.

"The person piloting that mecha represents the supreme will of Duoling in this Starry Sky....

We're lucky, this fleet happens to have a Spirit Court Guard accompanying us.

With a Spirit Court Guard protecting the fleet, even the most unscrupulous Star Thieves would have to think twice about whether they can afford to provoke...."
