Undead Mage from a Cell

However, Gu Xi’s current strength was sufficient. He plunged the Cold Wind Staff into the deck, switching it to defensive mode, and its five-meter-long vines continuously whipped the ground.

Simultaneously, numerous metal fragments, resembling flying knives, wove in and out of the ground, piercing downward.

After seven or eight strikes, the deck on which Gu Xi stood was broken open, revealing a water-leaking cabin below, where a Mysterious Treasure Chest covered in coral lay.

At that moment, half of the Mysterious Treasure Chest was already submerged in water.

Gu Xi understood that if he hadn’t broken through the deck, he would have missed this Mysterious Treasure Chest by the time it fully sank into the water.

Reaching out to grasp the Cold Wind Staff, the staff’s vines rolled him towards the treasure chest.

Mere contact with the chest made Gu Xi feel as if the coral were coming alive, attempting to prevent him from opening it.

But Gu Xi wasn’t going to have any of it. Upon seeing such resistance, he casually whipped out the Shattering Staff and smashed it down hard.

With this blow, he forced back the advancing coral.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Xi opened the chest.

”I...”

Looking at the treasure chest before him, Gu Xi was left speechless.

He didn’t see anything else, he just saw the words Sacred Artifact.

Gu Xi had heard about this during his school years.

Every game generates 5 to 10 Sacred Artifacts, but no one knows where these Sacred Artifacts are hidden or how to acquire them.

It’s not something you can obtain by completing a task; it depends on luck.

Sometimes, when luck strikes, even a stone picked up by the roadside could be a Sacred Artifact.

Right now, it seemed Gu Xi’s luck had arrived. Although he didn’t know what this Sacred Artifact was, having it was enough for Gu Xi.
