Chapter 32
Thinking seriously affected one’s mental health a lot . In the past, senior Zhuge Kongming was so immersed in the matter of punishing a soldier by a bamboo stick that he was strained to death in the end due to his overthinking .
Unconsciously, Palin’s complexion was getting pale as the vitality in his body rapidly declined . With the eyes of a normal person, one could see that was the transformation towards death .
As Sui Xiong could feel that something was going wrong with him, he hurriedly poured his dark power to supplement his vitality .
“Highness, what’s wrong with brother Palin?” Gerrard used his mental power to ask .
Sui Xiong silenced for a moment before openly telling him about Palin’s situation .
“What?! His spirit has left his body long ago . So right now, does it just rely on the vitality and the memory remnants of the body to operate? But he looks really normal to me, does not have even the slightest problem!”
“I also don’t know what’s happened . ” Sui Xiong opened his tentacles, showing a “can’t do anything” posture, “I do know one thing that once he has completely lost the external supplement, and the vitality in his body is used up, so he will immediately die . Therefore, as you can see, I have to constantly give him vitality . ”
“But that is not a long-term plan . Can’t we perhaps supplement a large amount of vitality in one time?”
“Wrong . . . You don’t understand this . In general, his body can not receive too much vitality . Adding too much will cause more harm than good . ” While saying, Sui Xiong suddenly got an idea as he had come up with a method .
On Earth, there was a flu medicine called “Ibuprofen Sustained Release Capsule” . The shell of the capsule would affect the speed of the capsule dissolution and the operating effect of the capsule in twelve hours (he also wasn’t sure whether it was really like this or not) . Following this idea, he could also do this much!
He immediately started doing it right after thinking . He tried putting an abundance of vitality into a ball and used a dissolvable colloid to make a shell in a shape of a bee’s nest . Every hole had a sufficient amount of vitality in one time for Palin; but the thickness of each hole was different . . . . finally, the diameter of this ball was about one centimeter .
Of course, this was just an experimental product . He needed to conduct a thorough check to guarantee its safety . Therefore, Sui Xiong didn’t hurriedly give this pill to Palin but put it in his body whose gastric structure was similar to a human’s .
It was to do a clerical experiment first .
However, this matter was not urgent since the task of greater importance right now was to handle the spoils .
The defeated God of Conspiracy’s messenger, the “Four Faces monster” had become Sui Xiong’s spoils . This bizarre living creature hid a tremendous fighting power . His magic had already been on the master level . Sui Xiong swallowed it up and carried out a detailed analysis . He was somewhat surprised that he had gotten such a big harvest .

The spirit of this God of Conspiracy’s messenger, the “Four Faces monster”, contained a little bit of the God Power of the God of Conspiracy .
The main priesthood of the God of Conspiracy was conspiracy, cheating and illusion, in addition to, evilness ah chaos, ah darkness . . . There were a bunch of other scraps that he temporarily couldn’t count . In general, in comparison to the God who were in charge of darkness, guardian and death, who almost didn’t know anything, the gatekeeper of the Night God system, the sleepless God, this God of Conspiracy could be considered as a multi-talented magician .
Through the God Power analysis, after comprehending this God’s power, one could start learning to imitate . Sui Xiong had done this kind of thing before . However, regardless the quantity or the quality, the God Power he got this time was far beyond the last one he got from the shrine . It was pure and majestic . Although it was only a little, it was at least eight-tenth of the power of one strike from Sui Xiong . If that Four Faces Monster could really display its God Power at full force, Sui Xiong would absolutely not be able to catch it easily like that .
God Power analysis required technical works, which couldn’t be done in a short time . On the contrary, Sui Xiong was not in a rush . He slowly finished it . In any case, time didn’t have much meaning to him at this moment .
That year, when he cultivated at the ocean trench, God knew how many years had passed . Based on the heat and cold variations from the start, it would be around two years . He didn’t remember clearly afterward . Basically, he was too lazy to remember .
As compared to those boring and long times, the time that he needed to spend on analyzing God Power was not worth mentioning .
His two subordinates also didn’t have much concept about time . Gerrard was a type that would immediately fall asleep after being full . Before that, he usually spent most of his time thinking about his religious God’s matter . Ever since he got such a clever companion like Palin, he became more sluggish, and didn’t want to think anymore . His level of laziness would make other’s blood boil . By contrast, Palin, the body without spirit, completely didn’t need to sleep . From day till night, except for reading books, he thought . His diligence made others feel ashamed .
Sometimes, Sui Xiong also wished that those two could have shared each other’s traits . . .
Months and days had passed by like this . The giant jellyfish on the sky didn’t need food . In the treasure cave, the other two could also use magic to make food, on the contrary, they didn’t feel uncomfortable .
But these days were extremely uncomfortable for Rennes . Since the last time when he suffered a huge loss of subordinates by Siu Xiong, the God of Conspiracy also no longer paid attention this area . ToRennes who was wholeheartedly waiting for his religious God’s reply, one day felt like a year . Right now, he could feel that he was weakening every day, that he was slowly getting closer to the death but he completely saw no hope of entering the God Kingdom . This kind of desperate life almost drove him insane . Afterward, he could just rely on sleeping pills to sleep . After taking this kind of pill that could put a buffalo to sleep, he still woke up in the middle of the night, cried, yelled, being terrified like a son that had been abandoned by his parents .

In desperation, he carefully thought . He felt there must be a reason why the God of Conspiracy didn’t reply to his prayer . This biggest possibility would definitely be that his scheme had been completely successful—-in other words, that Impassable Cloud Scroll might have a problem since it wasn’t properly activated . In another words, that giant’s bone bracelet didn’t only have the restoration magic, but it could also disperse the magic . . . after carefully thinking, his plan indeed had many flaws, it was not strange that an accident had happened .
“My plan definitely hasn’t succeeded . Meanwhile, I recklessly bragged to Highness, making him angry!” After thinking again and again, Rennes was drenched in sweats from fear, “The only way I can save this situation is to go make things right again!”
Even if it was the case, his legs were immediately flabby when thinking of directly facing the angry giant .
After having endured for one month, Rennes finally couldn’t bear this life anymore . Therefore, he decided to bring the remaining subordinates, which were not many, from the Thieves Guild and a good shaman to the Ruhr’s treasure location .
“So, you want us to deal with a giant?” When they camped along the way, the shaman asked .
“Right, a giant . ”
“How is his strength?” The shaman asked .
“His power is tremendous . His body is extremely sturdy . His speed is also very fast . Moreover, he is unusually not stupid . ” Rennes said .
The Shaman thought for a while and then asked, “Does it have other significant abilities? Or any kind of specific equipments?”
“There is a high-level magic item . That is a bone bracelet which can provide a restoration magic . ” Rennes continued . “I guess that a God has probably been put in it . ”
“This is impossible!” The shaman immediately rejected this guess, “That giant doesn’t have his own God . I also can not think of any God that could give a holy item to a giant and doesn’t order any holy warrior to get it back . He must be an ancient spirit tribe . These kinds of Savage tribes usually believe in their ancestors . Accordingly, many ancient spirit holy items are discovered . ”
Regarding the magic matter, of course, this type of professional had more authorities . Hence, Rennes didn’t insist on his opinion . On the contrary, he asked the shaman how to deal with this giant .
“The best method to deal with a giant is to use magic to lure him to throw himself off of a cliff . But based on what you have said, that is an airtight cave, where we have to use the transmission magic to access . Then, this method is impossible . . . ” The shaman thought for a while and then asked, “how high is that cave? How wide is the area?”
“It is not high . ” Rennes answered honestly, “the area is a little bit narrow . The giant somehow has to bend his back while standing inside that place . ”
The shaman’s eyes lit up . He immediately got an idea .
“If this is the case, then this is simple . ” He smilingly said, “I’ve gotten a solution to deal with this giant one in a cramped place . When the magic descends, I guarantee you that it will be badly bruised, or it might directly die . ”
Rennes rejoiced for a moment . However, after thinking back, he was a little worried, “Just in case, if he isn’t stuck there to death?”
“So, I will definitely lock it up, and make it unable to move . ” The shaman, who had planned in advance, said, “when the time comes, I will use another magic—–”
When speaking till here, he thought for a while then asked, “Do you mind losing this bone bracelet?”
“I don’t mind of course!” Rennes firmly said, “There is a bigger treasure behind!”
“Just that, give it to me . It is extremely easy . ” The shaman stood up, dusted ashes off his clothes, and directly went back to the tent to sleep .
As this was the battle of brains not strength, the shaman didn’t need to join the night vigil . On the contrary, he was allowed to take a full night rest . Thereby, he could be stable to display the magic . This was also the main reason why Rennes brought along a group of subordinates .
Anyway . . . facing such a formidable giant, no matter it was arrow or sword, they were both unlikely to have any big impact on him . In the end, one could only rely on magic to win this battle .
After seeing the Shaman resting, Rennes sat next to the campfires, stared at the burning flame, and fell deeply into his thoughts .
If that giant didn’t really die, if he could mightily resist the Impassable Cloud Spell, if that bone bracelet was really a God will holy item . . . .
He sighed deeply, his face was indescribably exhausted .
On the corner of the camp, the vice president had silently showed up . He didn’t say anything but gazed attentively at these things as his eyes were sparkling .
“This old man will be done for sure . ” A thought that had never appeared in his head slowly sprouted, “Or . . . I should make some plans for me . . . ”
