The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

420: Human Nature

Everyone was incredibly excited because a quasi-heavenly item just appeared in front of them.

Feng Wu remained by Ming Xi’s side; she had no interest in the sea god’s array of accessories and didn’t care about any heavenly or quasi-heavenly items.
She had no interest in fighting for things that she didn’t need.
She had Xiao Chun, so all these other weapons were useless to her.

No one shared her opinion though.

Most of the people present were just waiting to strip the items away from the sea god.

By the end of it, he might not even have pants left.

“A bunch of idiots.” Rui Baby suddenly spoke out from Feng Wu’s hair.

Puzzled, Feng Wu reached up to touch his eggshell.

“That sea god jerk is notorious for being stingy.
He’s not going to give his things away.
Just wait and see.
The ones who rob him are going to suffer soon.” There was a bit of gloat in Rui Baby’s voice.

The sea god was notoriously bad.
If he had been a good or kind god, he wouldn’t have used human tombs to guard his own.
So anyone thinking the sea god was generous was making a big mistake.

Feng Wu and Rui Baby were talking telepathically so no one heard their conversation.

Feng Wu knew how smart Rui Baby was, so she always listened to him.
He hadn’t been wrong about a single thing since they entered the sea god’s tomb.

Feng Wu grabbed Ming Xi’s hand tightly and refused to let it go.

Ming Xi thought she was afraid so he lightly patted her on the head to comfort her.

Zo, the only other person uninterested in the sea god’s accessories, came for one thing and one thing only: the heart of water.
He had to get it and keep out it Zi Cheng’s hands.

Zi Cheng’s former friends had told him where it was, so he planned on using the opportunity when everyone was distracted and fighting for the treasure to run and get the heart of water.

The heart of water was in a special place, outside the main hall, in a lotus pond.

Originally, Zi Cheng had fallen into the pond upon entering the tomb.
She was waving her arms around when her hand touched something soft, round and ice-cold.
She knew it was the legendary heart of water the moment she picked it up.

Had it not been absorbing the weak divinity occasionally emitted in the sea god’s tomb as it grew, the heart would have taken much, much longer to fully form, and it would not have had spiritual intelligence.

The heart of water Zi Cheng picked up initially was intelligent, but it did not possess self-awareness.

Zo didn’t know why Zi Cheng didn’t fall into the pond this time, but he wasn’t going to miss his opportunity.
He had to take advantage of the chaos and get the heart of water.
Just as he made up his mind, several people gave in to their temptations.

They lunged forward and stretched out their hands to reach for the treasures on the sea god’s body.
When they did this, blue lights flew out from the sea god and they were knocked back like something had hit them hard.

Even though this sea god had been dead for thousands of years, stealing his things would not be easy.

“What?!”

“Damn!”

Those knocked back yelled and cursed out in pain.
The blow brought them back to their senses and they remembered the body in front of them wasn’t just some corpse, but a divine body.

Even if the body’s consciousness was gone, it was still a divine and they couldn’t afford to act recklessly.

They were so focused on the sea god and his attack that they didn’t notice a figure disappear from the hall.

Fortunately, the sea god did not make a follow up move.
He remained seated on his throne with the scepter in his hand.
His eyes closed and he looked like he had fallen asleep.

After the earlier results, people were more leery of a second attempt.

Ming Xi knew the current calm would be short lived.
They weren’t going to be able to resist the temptation of the treasures in front of them, so it was only a matter of time before someone rushed to try again.

Sure enough, someone rushed out five minutes later.
Others followed closely.
The second wave of people was even bigger than the first wave, but this time they were better prepared.
They used various means to protect themselves.

Blue light flashed again, but this time the number of people it rebuffed was small.
Most kept their momentum and successfully snatched items from the sea god’s body.

“Whoa! Holy item!” shouted one man.

“Teleportation magic?! Why didn’t I snatch a more valuable item!” complained someone unhappily.

“I didn’t even get anything!” The one who got nothing were even more unhappy.

The success roused everyone’s enthusiasm.
One by one, they rushed forward like they would die if they didn’t try.
Every person there wanted to grab something.
Even the most common legendary item was still legendary!

They were going crazy grabbing things from him.

Ming Xi didn’t join in on the craze.
He was royalty and had seen more treasures than he could count, so he had no interest in competing with everyone for the treasures here.
Instead he took Feng Wu to a corner and stayed out of the way.

Both Ai Lin and Zi Cheng were in the wave of people running forward.
Many tried snatching an item, but few succeeded.
Most were knocked out before even reaching the sea god, while those who did manage to grab anything immediately became targets.

The hall was quickly stained red and the air filled with the heavy sent of iron as people attacked one another.

Human greed was on magnificent display as people zealously killed each other.
The sea god didn’t have to lift a hand.
