Chapter 72 - 72: Too Much Excitement Is Bad For The Health
Just as the door opened and Robert walked near the door there was a feeling of suffocation from the top.
He looked up with confusion and his expression solidified.
Hiss!
On top of his head, there is a huge skeleton. By estimation, the size of the skeleton is 20 meters.
This is a skeleton of a dragon-like creature! It has four enormous claws along with a pair of bone wings with a wingspan of six meters.
On the head of the skeleton, there are four horns. Radiating astonishing coercion and striking fear in his heart.
After seeing such a huge creature Robert instinctively wanted to use White Blow with full strength but he stopped seeing that it's just a skeleton.
"Damn it! What type of decoration is this? Scared me to death!" Robert patted his chest, felt his nervously pounding heart and signed a breath of relief.
It's just a corpse! Although this is just a skeleton of some dragon type creature there was still a touch of coercion lingering all over the body.
When the dragon was alive his cultivation level should not be below. But still no matter how majestic the dragon was in his heyday but in the end, his body is used as decoration.
This is life! So many twists and turns...
For the first time, Robert felt the treatment of Spirit Beasts. There is no hatred in his heart because he has the soul of a human but he never wants to end up like this. A showcase! Therefore he has to increase his and his friend's strength as soon as possible
"Yes, who uses a decoration like this? I almost experienced a heart attack." At this time behind him, there was a voice filled with resentment. Robert looked back and saw Snowball behind him with smoked meat in his hand.
At this moment he is sitting on his buttock and has an angry expression on his face.
"You are awake?" Robert looked at him and asked with some surprise. He expected him to wake after some time.
"There is so much noise, how can I sleep?" Snowball pouted and said. He was just sleeping and having a sweet dream. Suddenly the ground started shaking and there was a loud sound that frightened him.
Robert nodded his head in understanding the movement caused by the door opening was not small.
"Since you are awake let's go inside and check out the treasures." Robert looked at him and said with a smile.
Hearing about treasures Snowball's eyes lit up as he rubbed his fluffy hands excitedly, "Okay! Let's go, we want to see the treasures."
Robert nodded and walked inside. He looked at the skeleton of a big dragon on the ceilings for one time then looked inside the room.
There is not much stuff inside the room. In the centre of the room, there is a small pond with strange purple water radiating purple fog which covered the area around it. This pond gives off a mystical feeling. But Robert felt that this pond is dangerous because for him only poisonous water has a purple colour. Although this might not be the case for the particular pond in front of him he remained cautious as he remembered what happened when he met Celli inside that Trail Ground.
Except for this, there are many shelves on the left part of the room. On the shelf, there are numerous colourful bottles.
Each rack has approximately twenty such bottles. The bottles are cloudy and obscure which prevents him from seeing the content inside. Robert was excited to see these glass bottles. These should be so-called jade bottles, right? Inside it should be pills right?
He did not go there but looked at the right part of the room. Here there is not much stuff, just some weapon racks and wooden boxes.
So what should he check first? Weapons section? Or the pill section? In the end, after some deliberation, he decided to check the pill section first because he wanted to see the legendary pill.
"Let's go there!" Robert said to Snowball as he walked toward the left of the room where all the shelves are located.
Snowball looked excited as he followed Robert. Before coming here Slither warned him I listen to Robert otherwise his daily wages will be deducted. Daily wages are food he gets three times a day. Thus he did not act rashly and waited for Robert's instruction.
He wanted to go to the right part of the room because he smelled something good from that part.
When Robert arrived near the shelf they smelled some medicinal fragrance. Although the smell is weak it is still there. This is really a pill!
Robert thought excitedly as he picked up a bottle and said mysteriously, "Look snowball I will show you something amazing."
After eating this he did not wait for his answer and opened the bottle. And medicinal smell spread out enveloping two of them.
Robert and Snowball took a deep breath and both of them felt their spirit relaxed and body comfortable.
He looked inside the bottle to see its content. Inside the bottle are a few round objects. Robert went ecstatic seeing this. It's really a legendary pill!
"Robert, what is this?" At this moment Snowball is standing on his shoulder. Robert knew about the pill but he has no clue about it.
"This is a pill that helps in cultivation…" Robert said with some excitement as he explained about the pill.
"Is it tasty?" Snowball did not understand much so he asked his priority directly. For him, if it's not tasty then he will not eat it.
Hearing him Robert's face twitched. This Foodie…
"What kind of pill is this, System?" Robert asked the system. He did not want to eat a poison pill.
"Host this pill is…" The system said in a shocking voice which made Robert's heart speed up.
*Building up the atmosphere*
*Bringing the anticipation to max level*
"This pill is….?" Robert asked the question in anticipation. Don't know why he has a premonition that he has found a treasure.
*Audible heavy breathing*
"This pill is…" System repeated the same sentence. As if the system felt that Robert's excitement had reached its peak so he gave the long-awaited answer, "This pill is a…."
"A..?" Robert asked nervously.
"... An expired pill!"
"Yes! It's an expired pi..? W-What an expired pill? I heard it right?" Robert wanted to shout in excitement but when he repeated the name he felt something wrong.
An expired pill? Are you kidding me?
"System, what's the use of an expired pill?" Robert asked with some hope in his heart. He felt maybe this pill has some unique name…..Maybe?
"Host! As the name suggests this is a waste pill with no actual value." The system said indifferently but Robert felt deep malice from this sentence.
Robert stood in the same place with a bewildered expression. A waste pill? With no actual value?
"Then what's with all that mysterious act?" Robert thought of all that anticipation and gritted his teeth in anger.
"Host, you can't blame me. It's the first time I saw an expired pill so I was shocked." The system said indifferently but Robert felt that the system was deliberately making fun of him.
"System you have changed…" Robert thought silently in his heart as he wanted to say some cruel words to the system.
But Snowball did not give him that chance, "Robert! What's wrong with you?"
Snowball asked worriedly as he saw Robert's face changing several times. From worry to ecstasy to despair. In short, his expression is very rich.
"It's nothing. Sigh let's take a look at other bottles." Robert looked at Snowball's worried face and said without explaining. He decided to take revenge and make fun of the system sometimes too.
He looked at the other pill bottles with some anticipation. Maybe these bottles contain useful pills?
But dreams are beautiful, reality is cruel. Next ten minutes he checked all the pill bottles but with no exception, every pill was expired.
Till now he did not get anything useful from this place. For the first time, Robert felt his luck was not good. Other protagonists get opportunities at every twist and turn but he only got some expired pill?
Is this real? Robert sighted but he is not too disappointed. Because he got such a big place and he has reached the blood cleansing realm. That is enough for today.
Just as he wanted to call Snowball to go back he heard his excited voice, "Robert come here! I Found a Golden pill! It smells delicious!"
He subconsciously looked in Snowballs direction and saw him holding a Green Pill Bottle with an excited face
Out of curiosity, he walked over to see the pill but he does not have much hope in his heart. Today he has experienced many anticipations and disappointments so his heart is like a calm lake without any waves.
Just as he arrived near the Snowball he heard systems voice.
"Ding… Congratulations to the host for Finding Grade four pill: Aurora Pill."
