Chapter 1221
Seeing the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao's forward pace paused.
"Sia Temple..."
Su Xiao muttered. This continent was named Sia Continent, and a place that could be named Sia Temple would never be simple.
Compared to the name Sia Temple, Su Xiao felt that the name Undead Tomb was more appropriate. Not to mention anything else, just the stone corridor he was currently in had a tomb atmosphere. The environment here could be described by a few words: pitch black, humid, gloomy, dead silence.
So far, this place hadn't given Su Xiao the feeling of a temple, but rather more like a tomb.
Sia Temple was a hidden area of this native world. In layman's terms, it was very difficult to find this place except by receiving special quests.
Facts were indeed so. If Su Xiao hadn't received the hidden side quest, it would have been basically impossible for him to find this place.
In this area, rewards such as treasure chests and World Source were increased by 20%. As a price, Su Xiao needed to consume 600 Paradise Coins per hour when entering the outer perimeter of Sia Temple.
Su Xiao currently had 199,000 Paradise Coins. At 600 per hour, he could stay here for about 14 days.
Su Xiao certainly couldn't stay here for 14 days. The quest time remaining was less than 4 days. He had to find the Stone of Extinction within 4 days. If he couldn't find it, he would likely be forcibly teleported out of the native world due to insufficient stay time.
Su Xiao needed to do three things in this native world. First was to complete the main quest to obtain "4 real attribute points + permission to increase any self-mastered skill level by 1." Now the main quest had been completed.
Besides the main quest, Su Xiao had two more things to do. One was to enter the ruins of the Shadow of Extinction. From the known information, the ruins of the Shadow of Extinction were located in the territory of the Necrotic race.
As for the last thing, it was the somewhat ridiculous adventurer team promotion assessment. Su Xiao had already completed the main quest, but the adventurer team promotion assessment quest hadn't been triggered yet. According to Su Xiao's guess, he should have opened it the wrong way.
Judging from the current situation, if Su Xiao couldn't find the Stone of Extinction, the possibility of him completing the last two things wasn't high, as the stay time was insufficient.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao accelerated his forward pace. He walked at the very front, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang followed closely behind, then Goss and Alisa Herbert, while Amu was responsible for the rear.
The current formation seemed to have no problems, but in fact, this was the formation before going deep into Sia Temple. When truly going deep into the tomb, Goss would definitely walk at the very front. This was what cannon fodder should do. As for whether Goss agreed, that didn't matter; Su Xiao had many ways to make the other party agree.
Su Xiao walked in the gloomy corridor. This corridor was about five meters wide and six or seven meters high. The red square stones around were a bit damp, which filled the corridor with a musty smell.
Clang, clang, clang...
The knocking sound came from the front. As Su Xiao went deep into the tomb, the knocking sound got closer and closer. The sound was like someone using a hammer to beat something, very crisp.
"Woof~"
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang behind Su Xiao barked softly. This stupid dog was clearly scared. It was worth mentioning that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang didn't fear monsters or strong enemies; the only thing it feared was "ghosts."
The ghosts in Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's cognition weren't spirits or vengeful spirits, but ghosts it recognized from horror movies. This dog often watched horror movies, shivering with fear while unable to stop watching.
Heaven knows why Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang feared ghosts. If judged by normal thinking, ghosts weren't scary at all.
Take Su Xiao, for example. He had killed countless people on the battlefield. If there really were ghosts, ghosts would definitely shiver with fear after seeing the blood aura on him and run faster than a rabbit. If ghosts like Sadako appeared in front of Su Xiao, Su Xiao would directly step forward with a side kick, then tie the other party to the alchemy test bench to study the other party's structure. Within half a month, that so-called ghost would become something that made people feel pity.
Although so, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang just feared ghosts. At this moment, this dog didn't know where it got a Bagua mirror to hang around its neck, and it was biting a cross in its mouth, which could be called a combination of East and West.
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was very panicked, while Amu felt nothing at all. This cow walked at the back of the team, looking around.
The knocking sound in front got closer and closer, and Su Xiao's pace slowed down.
Clang, clang, clang...
Arriving here, the knocking sound was already very clear, no more than 100 meters away. Not only the knocking sound, but a wave of heat also hit his face, and the surrounding walls were no longer damp.
Danger might appear ahead. Su Xiao's gaze turned to Goss. Goss's face changed slightly; he had already guessed something.
"Now someone needs to scout the path."
Su Xiao's gaze swept across everyone, including Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu, very "fairly."
"I need to protect Princess Alisa."
Goss already had the intention to refuse. He knew it was dangerous to scout the path ahead, but he was more worried about one thing: Su Xiao threatening him with Alisa Herbert.
"How about we draw lots."
Su Xiao took out four slips of paper. Seeing that there were only four slips of paper, Goss felt even worse.
"Of course, Alisa Herbert doesn't need to draw lots. She only needs to open the mechanisms along the way."
Su Xiao wouldn't let Alisa Herbert scout the path; that was wasting resources.
"This..."
Although Goss wanted to say something, what could he say in the current situation? Obviously, compared to specifying who would scout the path, drawing lots was fairer.
"These four slips of paper, one of them is red inside. The person who draws the red one scouts the path ahead. This is very fair. Goss, you should have no objections, right."
Su Xiao had already set up the trap, just waiting for Goss to jump in. As for Goss refusing to draw lots, no, he had no way to refuse.
"N-no objections."
Goss agreed through gritted teeth. For some reason, he had a feeling that no matter which one he drew, he was the one scouting the path ahead.
"You go first."
Su Xiao's hand stretched out in front of him. Goss took one first. He didn't open it immediately. He was preventing all four slips of paper from being red inside. If he opened it now, he would directly become the person scouting the path.
Contrary to Goss's guess, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang opened the slip of paper with two flexible front paws, and the inside was white. Because Amu's fingers were too thick, Su Xiao opened it on its behalf, and the inside was also white.
"Then, there are only two of us left. Who scouts the path?"
Su Xiao held the slip of paper with two fingers, while Goss held the slip of paper tightly in his hand.
Seeing Goss's tense face, Su Xiao flipped his fingers, and the slip of paper was opened. The inside was white.
"This is impossible."
Goss quickly opened the slip of paper in his hand. The inside was a striking red, as if predicting danger and death.
"You..."
Goss was speechless. He was the last one to open the slip of paper, and he witnessed the entire process of the other three slips of paper being opened.
