Chapter 1223

~9 min read 1,795 words

Su Xiao had just entered Sia Temple, and this temple, which looked like a tomb, gave Su Xiao a blow to the head.

"Humans, hello."

Tomb Guardian Reed smiled at Su Xiao and others. The metal pieces embedded in his face folded together.

Su Xiao kicked Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, signaling Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, whose Charisma attribute was as high as 75 points, to step forward and negotiate. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog face was embarrassed, which meant: it's very difficult to lower the other party's intelligence.

"Don't talk nonsense, go try. If you don't go, should I go?"

Su Xiao's Charisma attribute was only 9 points. Heaven knows what would happen after he negotiated with a neutral creature. Under the effect of the 9-point Charisma attribute, Tomb Guardian Reed might not be able to remain neutral. If the negotiation collapsed, leading to hostility with Tomb Guardian Reed, then everyone present would die.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang soon realized the seriousness of the matter. It walked to Tomb Guardian Reed with square steps, looking straight at Tomb Guardian Reed.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was greeting Tomb Guardian Reed, similar to "hello."

"Hmm."

Tomb Guardian Reed looked Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang up and down. Although there was no strong favor, there was no dislike either.

Something appeared in Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog paw. It handed the thing in its paw to Tomb Guardian Reed. Reed looked suspiciously at the thing in Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog paw. Even though he was well-informed, he really hadn't seen the thing in Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's paw.

After Su Xiao saw the thing in Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog paw, his mouth twitched. That thing was actually a pack of spicy strips! Facing an Overlord-level creature that was powerful to the point of explosion like Tomb Guardian Reed, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang actually invited the other party to eat spicy strips! What a peculiar brain circuit!

Although Tomb Guardian Reed didn't know what the thing in Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog paw was, he guessed from the smell that it was food.

"Normal food cannot satisfy this special body of mine."

Tomb Guardian Reed casually picked up a piece of metal from the forging table, threw it into his mouth like eating candy, and chewed it a few times.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang nodded. It opened the spicy strips in its paw, ate them in a few bites, and its expression was very enjoyable. This was one of the snacks Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang loved to eat.

After seeing Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang eat the spicy strips in its dog paw, as well as Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's satisfied expression, Tomb Guardian Reed's favor toward Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang increased slightly. He saw that this dog had sent the thing it liked most to him to eat.

"Are you going to enter the temple? No, this is the former temple, now it can only be considered a tomb or a prison."

Tomb Guardian Reed sat on a metal low stool on the side. This thing was his chair.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang meant that they were indeed going to enter the temple, which was the tomb.

"Did those slaves above allow it?"

Tomb Guardian Reed's mention of slaves was very puzzling. His gaze swept across everyone, and after a moment, he nodded.

"It seems those slaves allowed you to enter the temple."

Tomb Guardian Reed sighed. He looked at Su Xiao, his gaze a bit complicated.

"You... shouldn't have come here. What exactly do you want to destroy my home into? There is nothing related to magic here anymore. You... these... lunatics."

Tomb Guardian Reed's hands were clasped together, and his aura was terrifying, but he gave Su Xiao a very strange feeling, which was that he was afraid.

Was Tomb Guardian Reed afraid of Su Xiao? No, he was afraid of the Shadow of Extinction. Reed was once the strongest in this world, until one day, a man with a long sword at his waist found him and gave him two choices: one was to find a place with beautiful scenery to live in seclusion, and no matter what happened afterward, he had to stay there; the other was to be beaten until he submitted, then find a place to live in seclusion.

As the former strongest in the Sia world, Reed sneered on the spot, but two minutes later, his brain was split into three pieces, and the energy in his body was completely devoured. That kind of pain almost made him collapse.

What happened afterward, Reed didn't know. He survived with tenacious vitality. When his consciousness recovered, he was already here. It was still the man holding the long sword, who only said two paragraphs to him.

"You lost, but you didn't violate the taboo, so I won't kill you."

"Guard here until one day you surpass me, then you can leave. From now on, your name is Reed, Tomb Guardian Reed. Or you can leave now, if you're not afraid of being swallowed by emptiness."

Initially, Reed hated that Shadow of Extinction, but not long after, he dutifully guarded here. The reason was very simple: as the strongest in the Sia world, Reed was too lonely. He possessed a long lifespan, but he was too lonely.

Countless Necrotic and human girls were willing to share a bed with him, and wherever he went, people would kneel to him.

This looked very beautiful, but what if it lasted for hundreds of years? The result could only be boredom. Reed had tried everything and enjoyed everything. In the end, he began to feel empty because he had no goals, living every day without any purpose, like a powerful walking corpse.

Until the appearance of that Shadow of Extinction, Reed had a goal, which was to surpass the other party and step on the other party. This was very difficult, but Reed was no longer a walking corpse. As for his broken body, he had plenty of motivation to live. As for leaving here, he had no interest at all. Now his vision was different, so he no longer participated in the grievances between the Necrotic and humans.

"Where are those powerful Shadows of Extinction? They haven't appeared for a thousand years."

Tomb Guardian Reed's gaze was very fiery. Although he knew he was still no match for those Shadows of Extinction, he wanted to see those targets he had to chase.

Su Xiao's thoughts turned rapidly. Although he didn't know the specific situation, he had already seen that Tomb Guardian Reed wasn't the mortal enemy of the Shadow of Extinction, or rather, Tomb Guardian Reed was a person who distinguished between gratitude and resentment. He just had a grudge against a certain Shadow of Extinction.

"Are you chasing them?"

"That's right. That person once stepped me into the mud. As a return, I also want to step him into the mud."

Tomb Guardian Reed sneered. In fact, in his heart, he didn't hate that Shadow of Extinction too much. If the other party didn't appear, it wouldn't be long before Reed would be swallowed by emptiness, or self-destruct, or go crazy to destroy everything. He was too lonely.

"Tell you a piece of bad news."

By now, Su Xiao had judged Tomb Guardian Reed's intention. This guy belonged to the type who was lonely to the point of being powerful, or rather, this world had imprisoned him.

"Except for me, you might not find any living Shadow of Extinction."

"What... did you say?!"

Tomb Guardian Reed looked at Su Xiao in astonishment.

"The era of the Law-Extinguishing Shadow has passed."

Su Xiao didn't care about angering Tomb Guardian Reed, because he already had a way to deal with this guy, or rather, he could make the other party an assistant. It was impossible to directly let the other party help fight, but it wasn't a problem to get some benefits from the other party.

"Era? The era of the Law-Extinguishing Shadow? What does this mean?"

Tomb Guardian Reed clearly heard the clues in Su Xiao's words.

"Have you heard of the Void? That's a very wonderful place. By the way, I'll tell you, that's the origin of the Shadow of Extinction."

"Void? I have indeed heard of this place. It's an unreachable place."

Tomb Guardian Reed was slightly rustic. Although he was strong, he was only invincible within the Sia world. Regarding the Void, he knew very little.

Su Xiao discovered this, so he continued: "There, the era of the Law-Extinguishing Shadow has been overthrown. Imagine how wonderful it would be there. You are strong, that's true, but when you get there, you are at most a relatively strong small fry."

Su Xiao wasn't belittling Tomb Guardian Reed. This guy's strength wasn't even as good as the female warrior Sha.

If someone else said this to Tomb Guardian Reed, Tomb Guardian Reed might directly give the other party a hammer, but Su Xiao was a Shadow of Extinction. Even if his strength among the Shadows of Extinction wasn't that great, he was still a Shadow of Extinction.

"Can you... help me go there? No, you are too weak, you can't do it."

"How about now?", Su Xiao threw an object to Tomb Guardian Reed. Su Xiao had been to the Void, so he could produce evidence.

What Su Xiao threw to Tomb Guardian Reed was a tablet computer, which was playing a video.

Audiences of various races were cheering. In the center of the arena, Su Xiao was fighting with a creature covered in feathers.

The screen changed. The main gate of the Demon Castle was broken, and powerhouses of various races rushed out. The fluctuations produced by some of them in their gestures made even Tomb Guardian Reed feel palpitations.

Some things couldn't be faked. With Tomb Guardian Reed's vision, he could certainly judge the truth of this video. Although he didn't understand the principle of this recording method, he could judge that the scene he saw was absolutely real, not fictional.

"I want to... go here! Go to the Void!"

Tomb Guardian Reed's body trembled. He was like a traveler about to die of thirst in the desert, and at this time someone told him that he could be taken to an oasis. There were sweet springs and juicy fruits in the oasis. Although it was dangerous there, Reed, who had become the strongest in the Sia world, had the belief of longing for battle and pursuing strength in his bones.

"Of course you can, but I like equivalent exchange."

Tomb Guardian Reed was a neutral creature, which was also the reason Su Xiao chose to negotiate with the other party.
