Chapter 1235

Su Xiao had obtained a total of 9 【Ancient Necromancer Essences】. He had known about the set treasure chest reward long ago. As for the 【Holy Shelter】, this thing should be some kind of defensive energy. As for the black fog on the third floor of the Xiya Sanctuary, Su Xiao didn't know what that was for the time being.

Su Xiao's goal was not to kill his way through the Xiya Sanctuary. If his guess was correct, he was currently on the first floor of the sanctuary, so the Necromancers guarding here were not strong, and his goal was to find the 【Extinction Stone】.

"Necromancer Sage."

Su Xiao tried to negotiate with the stone statue. The opponent had spoken human language earlier.

"I... am... here."

The Necromancer Sage's speech speed was extremely slow; it took him a full five seconds to say these two words.

"Do you know where the Extinction Stone is?"

Su Xiao went straight to the point. This guy's speech speed was too slow; if he were to exchange pleasantries, he would waste at least half an hour.

"I... of... course... know."

The Necromancer Sage was very kind. He didn't know how long he had lived; he was one of the builders of this sanctuary, and it was only after being betrayed by his own kind that he ended up in this situation.

"Where is it?"

Su Xiao felt that negotiating with the Necromancer Sage was somewhat painful. This guy's speech speed was really too slow. The more words the opponent said, the slower the speech speed became, with the speaking speed decreasing in an increasing manner. If the first word took 2 seconds, then the next would be 4 seconds, 8 seconds, 16 seconds, half a minute...

"You... are... an... Extinction... Law... User... right? I... and... Extinction... Law... User..."

Hearing this sentence from the Necromancer Sage, Su Xiao secretly thought it was bad. He wasn't worried about having a conflict with the Necromancer Sage, but he didn't want the opponent to recall past events; the opponent's speech speed was really too slow.

Su Xiao rubbed his forehead lightly, while Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang on the side was anxious and spinning in circles on the spot. His feeling at this time could only be described in four words: heart-wrenching and liver-tearing.

After half an hour of negotiation, Su Xiao finally got news of the Extinction Stone. According to the Necromancer Sage's description, he was already very close to the Extinction Stone. After passing through the Quake Heaven Hall, Su Xiao would encounter the strongest person on the first floor of the Xiya Sanctuary, the Armor Spirit. The Extinction Stone was embedded in the Armor Spirit's armor.

According to the Necromancer Sage's description, the Armor Spirit was very powerful. Even if Long Blade User · Kong and Quake Angel · Ming were added together, plus thousands of various Necromancer soldiers, they would not be the Armor Spirit's match.

Or rather, Long Blade User · Kong and Quake Angel · Ming were just gatekeepers; the one truly responsible for guarding the first floor of the Xiya Sanctuary was the Armor Spirit.

The Necromancer Sage also warned Su Xiao never to enter the second floor of the Xiya Sanctuary, or rather, to go deeper into the Xiya Sanctuary.

The Xiya Sanctuary had three floors. The first floor was for the generals or soldiers of the Xiya Dynasty, the second floor was for the elite troops directly under the royal family, and as for the third floor, that was a forbidden area for living beings, where many terrifying existences were imprisoned, such as 'Xiya Emperor · Living Being Butcher' or 'Prisoner · Punishment' and other terrifying creatures.

The Necromancer Sage didn't specifically explain how terrifying the 'Xiya Emperor's' strength was; he just simply said one sentence: if Su Xiao fought the 'Xiya Emperor,' the possibility of survival would be very low.

Note, not victory, but survival, which meant that once Su Xiao fought the 'Xiya Emperor,' it would be difficult for Su Xiao to even escape.

The good news was that Su Xiao didn't need to enter the second or third floor of the Xiya Sanctuary; the bad news was that the Armor Spirit was very strong.

The Necromancer Sage hadn't spoken so much for a long time, and he was in a good mood, seemingly wanting to tell Su Xiao the story of the 'Xiya Dynasty.' Unfortunately, his speech speed was too slow, and he would stutter as he spoke.

Su Xiao spent six 【Ancient Necromancer Essences】 to exchange for the gold set treasure chest. This thing had to be exchanged; no matter what gold set it was, it would be very strong. Even if he couldn't collect the full set and it wasn't suitable for Su Xiao, selling a single piece would also make a big profit.

As for the remaining three 【Ancient Necromancer Essences】, Su Xiao didn't plan to use them for the time being.

Leaving from the safe point, the poison mist in the Quake Heaven Hall had completely dissipated. Although Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was hammered to the point of doubting life in this battle, he had broken Quake Angel · Ming's energy layer, otherwise, he didn't know how long it would have dragged on.

Judging from the terrain passed earlier, the first floor of the Xiya Sanctuary was L-shaped. The lower end of the L-shape was the entrance, Long Blade User · Kong was at the corner of the L-shape, and Quake Angel · Ming was at the center of the L-shape. As for the Armor Spirit, he was at the top of the L-shape, simultaneously guarding the entrance to the second floor of the Xiya Sanctuary.

Su Xiao only needed to destroy the Armor Spirit to get the 【Extinction Stone】. As for whether to go deeper into the Xiya Sanctuary, that would depend on the situation. If the Hunting Demon Moment didn't enter the cooldown stage, Su Xiao would likely go deeper into the Xiya Sanctuary. After all, the benefits to be gained here were too generous.

Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Alisa met up at the Quake Heaven Hall. There was a long corridor leading to the depths inside the Quake Heaven Hall. Only by passing through the corridor could they reach the location of the Armor Spirit.

Deepening into the Quake Heaven Hall, 5000 Paradise coins would be consumed every hour. There was no time to lose, so Su Xiao decided to immediately go deeper into the Xiya Sanctuary and reach the location of the Armor Spirit.

Goss was dead, so naturally, Su Xiao would lead the charge. Just as Su Xiao wanted to enter the stone corridor, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang blocked his path.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang meant that he would go to scout the situation first. With his stealth ability, unless he encountered a nemesis, there would be no danger.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang entered the pitch-black stone corridor and gradually blended into the surrounding environment, while Su Xiao waited in the Quake Heaven Hall.

Just as he was waiting, the naive princess Alisa came up.

"That..."

Alisa seemed to have something difficult to say. Her legs were pressed together, and her expression was awkward.

"Speak your mind."

Su Xiao sat leaning against the corner of the wall. He had to seize the time to recover his stamina, as there was still a fierce battle waiting for him later.

"I want to... uh~, this..."

Alisa grabbed her long dress with both hands. Looking at her awkward posture, Su Xiao thought of what the opponent wanted to do—this girl wanted to pee.

"The corner of the wall is a good choice. You can't leave the Quake Heaven Hall now."

"Huh?"

Alisa petrified on the spot. After struggling internally, because she was too embarrassed, she decided to hold it in and become the 'holding-it-in princess.'

About fifteen minutes later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang suddenly appeared in front of Su Xiao, very close. Su Xiao almost slapped Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang in the face.

"Gurgle~"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of horror.

"What did you see?"

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang signaled Su Xiao to follow and ran quickly into the stone corridor.

After Su Xiao walked for five minutes in the stone corridor, firelight appeared ahead. Su Xiao stopped in the darkness and stared intently at the front.

At the end of the stone corridor was a large circular open space. Due to the angle, Su Xiao could only see part of the situation in the open space.

The open space was full of stone platforms, and Necromancers nearly three meters tall were lying on the stone platforms. Their appearance was very similar to Long Blade User · Kong, but they didn't have the strong aura of Long Blade User · Kong. Long Blade User · Kong belonged to an elite unit, while these Necromancers were ordinary long blade users. They could also summon Necromancer horses and hold long-handled sabers, just without the green flame buff.

There were 30 long blade users in total, lying quietly on the stone platforms. If Su Xiao were surrounded by these long blade users, he would likely be besieged to death.

Behind the neatly arranged stone platforms, there was a stone throne. A Necromancer about two meters tall was leaning on the throne. He wore battle armor, and the armor was neatly connected together, completely wrapping his upper body inside. His lower body was a battle skirt composed of armor plates, and the battle skirt hung down to his knees.

Wearing such a suit of battle armor, the defensive power was definitely not weak, and this wasn't plate armor; the battle armor was sewn together from many armor plates, and the range of motion at the joints was greater. The technical content of the battle armor was clearly several levels higher than that of rigid full-body armor.

This should be the Armor Spirit. No weapons were seen near him. Looking closely, one would find that a gemstone was embedded in the armor plate on the back of his right hand. This gemstone was blue, and electric light seemed to be flashing inside.
