Chapter 1436

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Su Xiao coughed up several large mouthfuls of pool water. After stretching his muscles, he jumped back into the pool. Just as he had imagined, there was a very "terrifying" creature in the pool: a giant octopus.

Unlike what he had imagined, this octopus with terrifying strength was not dangerous. Although Su Xiao didn't know why there would be an octopus in the rainforest, he could be certain of one thing: the thing under the water was not dangerous. On the contrary, the thing was very lonely. After Su Xiao entered the pool, the giant octopus immediately came forward, and judging by its actions, it was clearly playing with Su Xiao.

Su Xiao leaped into the pool again, and the black shadow below immediately came forward. Out of consideration for his own safety, Su Xiao did not slash at the black shadow below; he had already probed the data of this thing.

Basically, other than a pile of question marks, Su Xiao didn't see any other information, but that was enough. He absolutely could not provoke this thing, at least not with his current strength.

Su Xiao had heard the name "Jörmungandr" before; that was learned in Alice's treasury.

Jörmungandr: An endangered race in the Void. As for how they became endangered, that was their own fault.

This type of giant octopus is an absolute vegetarian, eating only moss-like plants. If that were all, they wouldn't have reached the point of being endangered. In the end, the races of the Void began to consciously protect them.

This thing has intense curiosity. When they see something, their first reaction is not to attack, but to gently wrap their tentacles around it, throw it into the air, then catch it, and throw it again, having a great time—they could be called stupidly cute.

Until one day, several Jörmungandr brothers with overflowing curiosity came to the Arcane Eternal Star and worked together to throw a "Secondary Elemental Superconducting Tower" into the air.

Seeing the fireworks exploding in the air, the Jörmungandr brothers clapped their hands repeatedly in joy. Moreover, this incident spread among the Jörmungandr tribe, and these stupidly cute guys began to develop a strong interest in the spellcasters' "Secondary Elemental Superconducting Towers."

Three or five times, the spellcasters could endure it, but after dozens of times—kill, kill them until they are extinct!

Through such fancy ways of courting death, the Jörmungandr tribe became endangered.

In the pool, a pair of pitch-black giant eyes looked at Su Xiao. The gaze was very puzzled, as if it had seen Su Xiao somewhere before.

After Su Xiao stared at Jörmungandr for a few seconds, Jörmungandr actually let go of Su Xiao and retreated a little.

Su Xiao looked surprised; he had already prepared to be thrown out, and then cooperate with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to divert this thing's attention.

A long, slender tentacle reached out of the water. This tentacle was not as ugly as an octopus's; almost instantly, the tentacle wrapped around Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang on the shore.

With a swoosh, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was rolled into the pool. A pair of dark green eyes witnessed this scene; in those eyes, there was satisfaction and also fear. It would never forget the experience of taking a bath in this pool once, which made it doubt its "dog life" for a long time.

In the pool, Jörmungandr actually stopped paying attention to Su Xiao and instead used its tentacles to wrap around the terrified Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

"Woo-loo-loo..."

A stream of bubbles surged from Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's mouth; its little eyes were clearly asking for help.

Su Xiao made a gesture, signaling Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to hold on; he would be back soon.

Swoosh~

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was thrown out of the pool. Before it could even catch its breath, several tentacles caught it gently. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was clearly stunned.

The Void is such a magical place; there, there are only species and cultures you cannot imagine.

Su Xiao dived quickly into the pool. Soon, he saw a bright light at the bottom of the pool; it was a layer of cyan crystals, generated by Jörmungandr's metabolic waste. It was because of this thing that the races of the Void protected the Jörmungandr species.

This type of cyan crystal has strong blocking properties and is the best choice for setting up spatial arrays. It was because of the existence of these cyan crystals that Reincarnation Paradise set the placement point for the World Core here.

The World Core in Su Xiao's arms floated out, and the cyan crystals at the bottom of the pool shattered in large pieces, wrapping the World Core inside.

The spatial fluctuations made Su Xiao subconsciously move away. Ten minutes later, the spatial fluctuations at the bottom of the pool faded. When he dived again, a crystal pillar as thick as a water bucket came into view.

This crystal pillar was about one meter long, protected by a metal frame on the outside, with cyan crystals condensed together inside, and the World Core at the very center.

Thump, thump, thump...

The World Core was like a heart, beating at a slow speed. Each beat released a spatial pulse, which any contractor could perceive, just like a lighthouse in the dark night.

【Announcement: World Core successfully activated!】

【Announcement: World coordinate attribute: φ (Reincarnation Paradise).】

【Announcement: Time until world coordinate is fully formed: 239 hours, 59 minutes, 58 seconds.】

【Announcement: If contractors from Sanctuary Paradise or Apocalypse Paradise hold the world coordinate, the coordinate attribute will change after 30 minutes; the formation time of the world coordinate will not change.】

【Announcement: When 5 hours remain until the world coordinate is formed, the coordinate attribute will no longer be changeable. The outer protective device must be shattered and the world coordinate re-established to change the world coordinate attribute.】

【Announcement: Time remaining until the "Devouring Energy Layer" is generated on the periphery of the Hot Rainforest: 3 hours, 26 minutes.】

【Hint: Hunter has obtained 100 Reincarnation Paradise Merits.】

A large number of announcement-type hints appeared; the content was simple: the contractor melee was about to begin.

Unlike the defense in the last world war, this world coordinate is movable, and whichever side obtains the world coordinate will have the coordinate's attribute changed after half an hour. Whichever Paradise's attribute the final world coordinate has, that side wins the World Conquest Battle.

The world coordinate needs 239 hours, 59 minutes, 58 seconds to fully form, which is 10 days. When only 5 hours remain until the world coordinate is formed, the side holding it must begin to defend, blocking all enemy sieges until the world coordinate is fully formed.

It can be said that the final five hours will be the most tragic five hours, and also the five hours that decide life and death. Before that, it is a time of mutual harm.

Su Xiao picked up the world coordinate from the bottom of the pool; this thing could not be stored in the storage space. There is little significance in guarding the world coordinate in the early stages, and after the announcement ended, the war channel of the Reincarnation Paradise side was very lively.

Shui Xiao (Solo): "Brother Bai Ye, give the world coordinate to the people of Apocalypse Paradise!"

Gulu (Phantom Troupe): "Must give it to Apocalypse."

Qing Yan (Leader of Arakawa Adventure Group): "Calm down first, but... giving it to the people of Apocalypse seems like a very good choice..."

Citrus Sister (Solo): "Do we even need to think about that? Of course, give it to Apocalypse."
