Jiang Kai slowly opened his eyes, a gentle ray of sunlight shining into them, causing him to squint.

"Kai, you're awake!" Yuan Zhu suddenly shouted.

Jiang Kai frowned slightly as his previous memories gradually became clear.

He propped himself up to sit and found his entire body wrapped in bandages.

Yuan Zhu, Ruan Yu, and Hu Yan were all gathered around him, in similar conditions, also covered in bandages.

Jiang Kai looked around and saw Nuannuan sleeping in a haystack nearby.

"What's wrong with Nuannuan?" Jiang Kai asked.

Yuan Zhu excitedly replied, "She used her Benevolent Healer ability to save the four of us and couldn't hold on herself."

Nuannuan's Benevolent Healer could sacrifice her own stamina to delay the injuries of others, buying time for treatment.

But Nuannuan's level was too low, saving four people on her own was almost unbelievable to Jiang Kai.

"She used the time she bought to treat our injuries and remove the corpse poison, but she fainted herself," Hu Yan added.

Jiang Kai tried to get up but found his body felt like it was falling apart.

He then realized he had more wooden splints on him than the others.

"Don't move, you're completely fractured. These splints were set by Nuannuan to stabilize you," Hu Yan said.

Jiang Kai looked again at the sleeping Nuannuan, feeling grateful.

The Fire God Squad managed to survive this time, all thanks to Nuannuan!

"Is Nuannuan alright?"

Hu Yan nodded, "I checked, she's just exhausted. She should be fine after a day or two of rest."

Jiang Kai finally relaxed, then asked, "What about the Ghost Corpse King?"

Hu Yan replied, "I was still a bit conscious at the time. Your dart severely injured the Ghost Corpse King, and Nuannuan seized the opportunity to deliver the final blow. She temporarily stored the corpse card and treasure chest card, saying she'd give them to you when you woke up, but she fainted first."

Hearing this, Jiang Kai couldn't help but smile.

"That girl, she knew to kill the Ghost Corpse King, otherwise, all that experience would have been wasted on me."

Jiang Kai was already at max level, and without a class change, any more experience would be wasted on him. Nuannuan, however, needed the experience the most right now.

"The experience from the Mutant Ghost Corpse King could exceed a hundred thousand, no wonder Nuannuan could save the four of us." Jiang Kai's previous doubts were thus dispelled.

On the battlefield, Jiang Kai needed decisive teammates like this!

The next day, Su Nuannuan slowly woke up. Remembering the battle from the day before, she ignored her weakness, quickly getting up to tend to everyone's injuries.

Jiang Kai's injuries were the most severe, so Nuannuan checked on him first.

"Nuannuan, you..." Jiang Kai was about to say something.

"Don't talk, let me check your fractures first," Nuannuan interrupted him unceremoniously.

While checking Jiang Kai's splints, Jiang Kai couldn't help but say, "Nuannuan, are you okay? You should rest first."

"I'm fine, just exhausted before. A night's rest did wonders. Besides, I'm just checking and changing bandages now, it doesn't take much energy."

When Nuannuan was checking the bandages on Jiang Kai's chest, they were face to face, and Jiang Kai said, "Nuannuan, thank you. Without you, I would have been dead for sure."

Nuannuan looked up and met Jiang Kai's eyes, pausing for a moment...

Although Brother Ruan had already taken the crown as the biggest flirt in the Fire God Squad, Jiang Kai was still an undeniable potential contender.

Back then, this guy stared at her for a long time! And what's worse, he wasn't even drunk!

Seeing Jiang Kai looking at her so seriously now, she felt a bit uncomfortable...

Nuannuan quickly looked away, flustered, "If you're thanking me, does that mean you don't see me as one of your own?"

"No, no!" Jiang Kai quickly said.

"Then don't say it again," Nuannuan said, tightening the bandage, causing Jiang Kai to grimace in pain.

"They almost died saving you, and you didn't thank them!" Nuannuan glared at Jiang Kai.

It seemed she was angry...

"Cough, cough, alright, I won't say it again... By the way, what level are you now?" Jiang Kai quickly changed the subject.

"Level 18. The Mutant Ghost Corpse King gave 130,000 experience, I went from level 12 to 18."

"Oh, here's the loot for you." Nuannuan handed Jiang Kai a few cards.

A corpse card, a treasure chest card, and a weapon card, which was Jiang Kai's unretrieved Nine Tribulations Chasing Death.

Seeing the treasure chest card, Jiang Kai immediately got excited and called the others over, "Come on, let's open the treasure chest! Old Hu, who should open it?"

The group eagerly gathered around.

Hu Yan said, "Our Fire God Squad always has good fortune after surviving a disaster, it doesn't matter who opens it."

"Then let Kai open it," Ruan Yu suggested, "He was the closest to death, maybe his luck is the best."

Jiang Kai's face darkened, not expecting that nearly dying would be seen as a good thing...

But with the treasure chest right in front of him, Jiang Kai couldn't resist. Seeing no objections from the others, he eagerly rubbed his hands together, "Open it!"

The biggest difference between the Ghost Corpse King's treasure chest and those of beast-type monsters was that the Ghost Corpse King's chest mainly contained equipment, with almost no ores, and it also had skill books, class change materials, and other rare treasures!

This time, Jiang Kai's luck was indeed good. As soon as he opened the chest, he saw it was filled with rich loot.

They immediately began to inventory and appraise the items.

After pulling out four pieces of second-tier armor and three pieces of third-tier, the first valuable item emerged!

"This knife is called the Butcher, a fourth-tier Executioner weapon, the strongest equipment for Executioners currently! Only two have appeared in all of China, and this is the third!" Nuannuan said, looking at the information on her watch, "It's valued at 7.7 million Star Coins!"

"Wow, 77 million Chinese Yuan, almost a billion?! The initial class change materials for Executioners are only a few million, this weapon could get ten sets of Executioner class change materials!" Yuan Zhu exclaimed.

"What's so surprising? This is a top-tier fourth-tier weapon, Executioner weapons are much more expensive than those for Martial Apprentices and Soldiers," Hu Yan said.

Unfortunately, it's Executioner equipment, and there's no Executioner in the team, so the Butcher would likely be sold.

Jiang Kai continued opening the chest.

After a few more pieces of armor, Jiang Kai pulled out a black cloth coat, waiting for Su Nuannuan to appraise it.

However, Nuannuan looked at her watch for a long time, then widened her eyes in surprise at Jiang Kai, "No record!"

"No record?" Jiang Kai also became nervous.

This meant the equipment had never appeared before!

He immediately used an appraisal card.

[Death Spirit Armor, third-tier armor, Defense 27 points, Strength 24 points, Physique 18 points, Agility 33 points, Mental Strength 71 points.]

[Special Effect 1, Death's Mercy, can lower usage requirements by up to two tiers. Special Effect 2, Death Spirit State, grants a three-second death spirit state within ten minutes, immune to neural attacks for three seconds. Special Effect 3, Death Torment, inflicts a mental attack on the enemy, causing them to experience the torment of impending death continuously (this attack only works when the enemy is severely injured), lasting until the caster's mental strength is exhausted.]

Seeing the description of the Death Spirit Armor, Jiang Kai was even more shocked.

As a third-tier armor, the Death Spirit Armor had excellent attribute boosts, especially in mental strength, adding a whopping 71 points!

Not only that, its special effects were even more impressive.

The power of Special Effect 1 lay in directly lowering the usage level requirements by two major tiers, allowing first-tier use of third-tier armor!

Special Effect 2 was the essence of the Death Spirit Armor, granting a three-second state every ten minutes, immune to neural attacks, such as the sound attacks of mermen or certain neurotoxic poisons, which fell within this effect's range!

Only Special Effect 3 was somewhat lacking, as it could only be used when the opponent was severely injured, making it less practical in combat, but it was a great tool for tormenting others!

This armor was an outer armor, very practical for Jiang Kai, and combined with his Ghost Inner Armor, it provided immunity to physical attacks every ten minutes and neural attacks for three seconds.

"Jiang Kai, this equipment is so strong!" Yuan Zhu couldn't help but exclaim.

Jiang Kai nodded, temporarily putting away the armor and continuing to check.

After a few more pieces of high-attribute equipment, at the bottom of the chest appeared a fish-dragon-shaped cyan jade pendant and a... card?

"Wow, a treasure!" Hu Yan and the others immediately focused on the jade pendant.

Treasure items were always highly valued, so it was no wonder their attention was drawn to the pendant.

However, Jiang Kai's eyes were on the card.

The card was rectangular, about ten centimeters long and six centimeters wide, and very thin.

It emitted a faint dark purple mist, and on the side facing Jiang Kai, there was a fierce-looking face drawn.

Ignoring the others appraising the jade pendant, Jiang Kai picked up the card, frowning, and used an appraisal card.

Soon, two lines of text appeared on the appraisal card.

[King of Hell's Order.]

[One of the Lord God Cards, Hidden Weapon.]
