Chapter 1677

Below the Soul Altar, inside the dungeon of the Ancestor faction.

That's right, the location where Su Xiao was located was almost an underground city. Judging from the sculptures and architecture seen along the way, this place had once been glorious. The Ancestor faction had almost reached a symbiosis with the Soul Vines intertwined here, only abandoning this underground city later due to a dwindling population.

Two minutes after Sha was teleported away, Su Xiao, who was walking through the underground passage with Lilith on his shoulder, paused. He had received a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise.

【Prompt: The Hunter has brought 'Guide Sha' to Reincarnation Paradise.】

【You have obtained 30,000 Paradise Coins.】

【Your extra clearance has been increased by lv. 2.】

【You have obtained Sha's Medal.】

【Sha's Medal.】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise

Quality: White

Category: Special Equipment

Durability: None

Equipment Effect: Can learn related abilities for free from Guide Sha.

Prompt: This privilege can be enjoyed once every 15 natural days.

Rating: 10.

Introduction: Su, you just wait for me (this is a message from the Guide).

Price: Cannot be sold.

【Prompt: The Hunter has brought 'Blacksmith' and 'Guide' to Reincarnation Paradise.】

【Due to the Hunter's meritorious service, special clearance has been unlocked.】

【Special Clearance: Targeted Teleportation.】

【The Hunter can consume space-time power under special circumstances to open targeted teleportation. You may use induction, temptation, abduction, bribery, persuasion, threats, deception, and all other means to make powerhouses in War Worlds, Native Worlds, and the Void enter the teleportation array.】

【If the induction is successfully completed, Reincarnation Paradise will provide corresponding rewards based on the strength and abilities of the induced person.】

【Currently induced: Blacksmith Reid, Guide Sha.】

After checking the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise, the corners of Su Xiao's eyes couldn't help but twitch twice. Undoubtedly, his previous actions were beneficial to Reincarnation Paradise. It made sense; cultivating a high-tier Some Qiyuezhe is difficult, and both Reid and Sha not only had the strength of high-tier Contractors but also had other specializations.

For such powerhouses in Native Worlds or the Void, Reincarnation Paradise clearly welcomed them all. It even gave Su Xiao special privileges: he could use a certain amount of space-time power to open targeted teleportation when inducing other powerhouses, leading them directly to Reincarnation Paradise. This was much more stable than when Reid or Sha were teleported.

Helping Reincarnation Paradise induce powerhouses might not seem like a generous reward, but in reality, it wasn't the case. The clearance rewards given by Reincarnation Paradise were the most valuable things.

Currently, Su Xiao's Reincarnation Mark level was lv. 40, but his true clearance was lv. 50, which was equivalent to the clearance of a Tier 6 contractor. This allowed him to know many things in advance, such as the assessment experienced when attributes break through the 99-point barrier, the prerequisites for promoting to Tier 5, and so on.

While Su Xiao was thinking about clearance-related issues, a roar came from below. Needless to say, the Demon race and the Winged race were already fighting. The Soul Fruit would mature in at most a few hours.

Compared to the Soul Fruit, Su Xiao wanted the Ash Bud more. Unfortunately, this thing was hidden by Saint Zacha in the dungeon, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang only knew the general direction of the hiding spot.

After wandering around the dungeon a few times, Su Xiao arrived in front of a stone door. After observing for a moment, he reached Saint Zacha's right arm into the hole in the center of the stone door. According to Xiang Bubu's observation, this was how the door opened.

However, nothing happened. Su Xiao tried rotating Saint Zacha's arm, but there was still no reaction. He simply tossed Saint Zacha's corpse aside.

Although this stone door looked like it had some age, it likely had biometric functions. Even a thousand years ago, the technological level of the Void was actually not low. Or rather, the technology of some races in the Void had reached a bottleneck long ago and hadn't seen any leap-forward progress in recent years.

Since the civilized way didn't work, Su Xiao began to dismantle it by force.

Ten minutes later.

Boom!

Gravel and dust flew. Su Xiao entered a pitted hole in the stone door; this was carved out by him slash by slash. This door was surprisingly hard.

Just as he stepped into the stone door, Su Xiao felt a chill. This was a nearly enclosed room, and blue flames burned in fire lamps on the walls, making the room appear somewhat cold.

In the center of the room, a mass of black ash floated in mid-air, forming various shapes from time to time.

Seeming to sense Su Xiao's approach, the ash formed a face, which looked exactly like Saint Zacha.

"Human, if you want me to submit to you, you must answer a few questions."

The head formed by the Ash Bud spoke.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't pay any attention to this ash head. As long as he could find the Ash Bud, the promotion mission would be basically completed. However, given Saint Zacha's strength, this mission might have already exceeded 400% difficulty.

During the fight, Su Xiao had only faced Saint Zacha for a moment before nearly being killed by him. After the battle, Sha was severely injured with less than 20% HP, and Lilith was still unconscious. If Su Xiao hadn't provided emergency treatment, she might have already died.

It must be said that the recovery ability of the Demon race is amazing. Lilith, who had looked like she was about to die at any moment, was now breathing evenly, and the wound on her neck had healed.

Putting down Lilith, a metal tube nearly one meter long and twenty centimeters thick appeared in Su Xiao's hand. This was the only item he could take out from his storage space, even though the storage space was currently in a sealed state.

Crack, crack, crack...

Cracks first appeared on the metal tube, followed by a surge of electric current from the cracks, wrapping the Ash Bud inside at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"Hu, human, I..."

With a sizzle, the electric light rolled the Ash Bud into the metal tube. The metal tube fell to the ground, and Su Xiao hooked it up with his foot and grabbed it in his hand.

"Only Saint Zacha would believe your ghost stories."

Su Xiao tossed the metal tube in his hand and was just about to pick up Lilith, but Lilith grabbed his arm and stood up using him as a pivot.

"I... can walk on my own."

Lilith was still a bit weak, but she didn't want to be carried by Su Xiao anymore. It wasn't that she couldn't let go, but the position of being carried was very uncomfortable; it pressed against her lower abdomen, making her feel very suffocated.

【Prompt: The Hunter has obtained the Ash Bud.】

【The conditions required for the promotion mission have been met. Complete it immediately? Yes/No.】

Su Xiao chose No. The Ancestor dungeon was very lively right now; the Demon race and the Winged race were fighting fiercely. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was squatting near the Soul Fruit. Giving up such an opportunity would be too much of a pity.

【The Hunter has temporarily shelved the promotion mission. It will be forcibly completed in 24 hours. After forced completion, the Hunter will return to Reincarnation Paradise within 30 seconds.】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao stepped out of the room. He had 24 hours left. If he didn't do something, it would be a disservice to his trip to the Black Abyss.

It was difficult to snatch the Soul Fruit; after all, both the Demon race and the Winged race had sent powerhouses. Even Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang couldn't snatch the Soul Fruit from those two guys.

But would Su Xiao just give up on the Soul Fruit? Of course not. He wouldn't go to snatch that thing at all; that wasn't what a "civilized person" should do. Let the Demon race and the Winged race fight for it. After one side won, Su Xiao would use something to exchange for the Soul Fruit. The success rate would be at least 70%.
