Chapter 1138: Split Actions

The cat-girl could indeed use her own Nen ability to resurrect, but the recovery speed of this Nen ability called "Terpsichora" was relatively slow, and that was only when the cat-girl was fully focused.

Now that the cat-girl had been decapitated and her heart almost sliced open, coupled with Su Xiao's threat, it was impossible for her to sew her head and heart together.

The cat-girl let go of the head in her hand. Before the head hit the ground, she had already rushed toward Su Xiao. This was the only belief remaining after the cat-girl was decapitated: to kill Su Xiao.

Losing her head was not just as simple as losing her vision or sensory abilities; she would also lose her ability to think and judge during battle.

To deal with the cat-girl in this state, Su Xiao didn't intend to fight hard at all. Now the other party was just a marionette. No matter how strong her vitality was, after losing her head and heart, the other party's body functions would rapidly decline.

Su Xiao leaped backward. The cat-girl's sharp fingertips brushed past Su Xiao's ear. Su Xiao slashed sideways with the long blade in his hand.

The blade cut through skin and muscle, blue blood sprayed out, and one of the cat-girl's arms was cut off.

Su Xiao bent his body and kicked the cat-girl's abdomen straight on.

Bang!

The cat-girl's body bent significantly, flying backward, and hit the stone wall with a boom, with most of her body embedded in it.

The Green Steel Shadow energy entered the cat-girl's body, and the "Terpsichora" above her twisted and almost dissipated.

Sizzle~

The Boundary Line tightly wrapped around the cat-girl. The cat-girl struggled to stand up, but she no longer had the strength to break free from the Boundary Line's restraint.

About two minutes later, the Nen in the cat-girl's body rapidly declined, and the "Terpsichora" above her became fainter and fainter, finally disappearing into the air.

"Terpsichora" disappeared, the cat-girl's body paused, and she became a real corpse.

【You have killed the Ant King's direct guard, Neferpitou.】

【Neferpitou is the Ant King's direct guard. You have obtained 12.9% of the World's Source. You have now obtained a total of 25.3% of the World's Source.】

【Your talent "Soul Eater" has been activated, permanently increasing your mana by 30 points. Your current maximum mana limit is 3896 points.】

【You have obtained a Treasure Chest (Gold).】

Su Xiao picked up the gold treasure chest on the ground. From the light emitted by this treasure chest, one could see that the quality of this treasure chest was higher than the one dropped by "Youpi."

Now was not the time to open the treasure chest. Dealing with the Ant King was the key. Chen and the other two would deal with Pouf near the palace. If Pouf was defeated, the Ant King would definitely support him. At that time, it would be Chairman Netero + Chen + Shui + Lao Yan dealing with the Ant King.

The battle in the tunnel had just ended when Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang appeared. It was sitting on a metal treasure chest.

Su Xiao stepped forward to check the metal treasure chest. When he touched the metal treasure chest, a prompt appeared.

【Prompt: You have obtained the "Lost Treasure Chest."】

【Hint: The Hidden Treasure Chest requires the completion of related missions to obtain notarization from Reincarnation Paradise; the mission has failed.】

【Prompt: Because the mission has reached the final stage and the Hunter has obtained the key mission item, you can re-accept the mission from Mayor Christopher in Sali Town.】

Su Xiao learned several key clues from the prompt. First, this treasure chest was the final reward for a certain mission, and this mission failed at the final stage. Normally, this mission would be frozen, but he had obtained the key item in the mission, which was this treasure chest.

Those contractors were willing to flee with this treasure chest despite the cat-girl's pursuit, which showed that the value of this thing was not low. Those contractors should have completed many rounds of missions to obtain the final reward. To fully obtain the final reward, what they lacked most was strength and time. Unfortunately, neither was abundant.

"Xiang Bubu, you and Amu go to Sali Town and complete the follow-up of this mission."

Su Xiao himself certainly couldn't go to activate this mission, but Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu could.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, meaning, don't you need it to snatch the Ant King's heart at the critical moment?

"The Ant King's heart is different from the treasure chest. First, one must have the ability to break through the Ant King's defense. If one can really defeat the Ant King, when it dies, I will definitely be the person closest to it."

Su Xiao originally didn't intend to let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang snatch the Ant King's heart. The reason was simple: Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang would likely be focused and killed instantly.

Once the Ant King was about to die, all the contractors around would bombard the Ant King, trying to eliminate the person closest to the Ant King.

Heaven knows how many contractors would gather at that time. With Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's physique, it would likely be killed instantly by those countless attacks.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang understood. It looked at Amu, meaning to let Amu pick up the Lost Treasure Chest.

"If you can't complete this mission within two hours, give it up decisively."

Su Xiao hooked his finger at Amu. Amu handed the Duke of Silence in his arms to Su Xiao. After Su Xiao put away Zhan Long Shan, he carried the Duke of Silence on his back, becoming a sniper again.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked and took Amu, leaping out of the hole above the tunnel, and soon disappeared into the wilderness. Sali Town was not far from the royal capital; it was the small town where Chairman Netero had taken Su Xiao.

Letting Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang complete this mission was relatively reliable. Xiang Bubu had a charm attribute of 75 points, which could make it relatively simple to receive the mission. If Su Xiao, who only had 8 points of charm, went, it wouldn't be to receive the mission, but to put a knife to the town mayor's neck to forcibly activate the mission. Su Xiao had done this many times.

Leaving the tunnel, Su Xiao hurried toward the royal capital.

In the courtyard near the palace, Chen, Shui, and Lao Yan were besieging a blonde man. The blonde man had antennae on his head; it was Pouf.

Drip, drip...

Blue blood dripped down Pouf's chin. He pressed his chest with one hand, seemingly suppressing something inside his body. This thing made him unable to split.

"It's a pity you can hold on until now. That little cutie has already eaten most of your internal organs, right?"

Shui held two thin, curved blades, and the two blades were wrapped in a layer of transparent energy, like two balls of water.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Pouf covered his mouth, and blue blood seeped out from between his fingers while he coughed dryly.

"Hurry up. I can't shield it for long. The smoke formation is about to dissipate."

Lao Yan's face was slightly pale. He took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand, and smoke swirled around the few of them, forming a huge formation. The shape of this formation was somewhat similar to the Bagua, and also had the characteristics of a magic circle. The insurgent leader Lao Yan had come up with a combination of Chinese and Western styles.

"Buy me 30 seconds."

Chen wore black gloves. These gloves were his spellcasting tools, replacing a bulky staff.

Five elemental balls rotated around Chen. These five magic balls emitted wisps of cold air, and large areas of ice crystals appeared around them.

"Dark Sky."

Chen's eyes became pitch black, and the five magic balls around him transformed from ice attribute to dark attribute.

"Hey, hey, we are still nearby."

Shui and Lao Yan stepped back quickly.
