Chapter 1734: Grave Robber

Wisps of blue smoke drifted from Distortion's corpse. Su Xiao sat beside a dirt pit. After taking off his upper garment, a row of bloody tooth marks appeared on his lower abdomen, and another row was on his lower back. Distortion wanted to bite him in two, but the crystal layer spread into Distortion's mouth, preventing it from closing properly, while the crystal layer clinging to Su Xiao's abdomen hindered its bite a second time.

Su Xiao took a full few minutes to feel the severe pain. The consumption of stamina was fine, but his injuries were severe. Facts proved that if a lone wolf's physique wasn't tough enough, dying in battle was only a matter of time.

After drinking a bottle of Ancient Secret Medicine, the bleeding from the wounds on his abdomen gradually stopped. He had several pieces of flesh slapped away from his left abdomen, and his right side was bitten by a monster like Distortion. Now, even standing up was difficult.

Amu ran over quickly, stabbing its ice shield into the mud behind Su Xiao, while it stood in front of Su Xiao to prevent other enemies from attacking.

Only then did Su Xiao have time to check the rewards for killing Distortion. Killing Distortion didn't directly drop a treasure chest, but allowed Su Xiao to obtain 100 Soul Coins, which he could use to purchase rewards freely.

After looking at the reward options, the pain on Su Xiao's body became even worse. It wasn't that the rewards weren't generous, but they were too generous. He wanted them all, but he only had 100 Soul Coins.

First, exclude Reward 4, the Awakening Book (Secondary). He had obtained this item several worlds ago. What he lacked wasn't an Awakening Book, but the assessment for the secondary talent awakening that he couldn't complete. The last talent awakening was still vivid in his mind. Without sufficient preparation, he wouldn't attempt a secondary talent awakening.

Golden Skill Point x1, Epic-grade Treasure Chest (30%), World's Source 12%, Distortion's Essence—these were all good things. As for the Mithril Potion (Strengthening Potion), this strengthening potion worth 73 Soul Coins must also be very good, but Su Xiao himself could concoct strengthening potions. As long as he was given enough time to improve his "Plant Blending Chapter", concocting high-tier strengthening potions was only a matter of time.

Through the elimination method, the remaining reward combinations were World's Source + Distortion's Essence + Paradise Coins, or Epic-grade Treasure Chest + World's Source + Paradise Coins, or Golden Skill Point + Paradise Coins.

After thinking for a moment, Su Xiao checked his current World's Source.

【Currently obtained 76.3% of the World's Source.】

Most of this World's Source was obtained when Su Xiao wiped out the Ghost Ring headquarters. Otherwise, his World's Source would only be around 30% now. Among them, 12% was obtained by searching for Eye Chambers. From this, one could see how difficult it was to obtain World's Source in a native world. He had previously wiped out a small gathering point of the Ghost Ring and killed many important members of the Ghost Ring, and the Joshua family was also wiped out by him.

Su Xiao hesitated. Golden Skill Points were rare. From the first to the fourth tier, he had obtained a total of 5 points.

Among them, 1 point was obtained through this promotion mission, but this didn't mean that a promotion mission would definitely yield a Golden Skill Point. The reason he could obtain it this time was that he blew up the Ghost Ring headquarters, causing the completion of the first ring of the mission to explode, giving him the opportunity to obtain 1 point.

The World's Source of the Ghost world concerned whether Su Xiao could awaken the Law-Extinguishing Shadow ability corresponding to 100 attribute points, while Golden Skill Points could be used to improve abilities that were already at full level, such as Devouring Core, Dragon Shadow Flash, Spirit Shadow Constitution, etc.

After pondering for a moment, Su Xiao began to redeem the rewards.

【You have obtained 12% World's Source.】

【You have obtained Distortion's Essence (Rare Item).】

【You have obtained 1,250,000 Paradise Coins.】

Introduction: Master, why do you dare not look at me? Are you... disgusted by me? Sub-Overlord Creature·Distortion.

……

After a choice, Su Xiao chose World's Source and Distortion's Essence. Compared to Golden Attribute Points, the Law-Extinguishing Shadow ability corresponding to 100 attribute points was more important.

As long as he didn't die in a world, Su Xiao believed he would have opportunities to obtain Golden Attribute Points in the future, but the opportunity to obtain the Law-Extinguishing Shadow ability corresponding to 100 attribute points might only come this once.

Su Xiao wouldn't pin all his hopes on Marvin Waltz. The other party didn't owe him anything. Helping him awaken new abilities was a favor, and not helping was also normal, after all, the other party had passed away many years ago.

Precisely because of this, Su Xiao had to grasp this opportunity. Moreover, Marvin Waltz, this mentor, was a bit of a pit, and the other party's "forgetfulness" had increased Su Xiao's tolerance for pain by at least several times.

After handling the wounds on his abdomen, Su Xiao tried twice before standing up. Compared to the external injuries, the organs shaken by the impact were actually more serious.

Within 3 hours, Su Xiao could not fight against Phantoms with more than three eyes. Within 10 hours, a nine-to-ten-eyed Phantom could take his life. It would take at least 24 hours for Su Xiao to barely fight against a strong enemy. As for wanting to fight Sin, it would be impossible until at least two days later; otherwise, he would definitely lose.

Su Xiao didn't have time to recuperate, or rather, as the Legion Commander of the Execution Agency, the news of his injury couldn't be known by outsiders. Once he revealed a weak appearance, all kinds of monsters and demons in Zuer City would come out to be active, and it would be very difficult to search for other Eye Chambers then.

Letting Amu throw Distortion's corpse into the river, Su Xiao walked slowly toward the distant wooden bridge.

Returning to Zuer City, Su Xiao contacted Old Hank and asked him to notify the red-haired man that an Eye Chamber had been found.

40 minutes later, beside a street in the city.

"It's around here. There was a small accident earlier, and the sewer below will have a large area of collapse, but the Eye Chamber must be around here."

Su Xiao threw down the wooden stick in his hand. He had already drawn a sketch on the ground. The red-haired man glanced at Su Xiao and didn't say much, just leaped into the sewer.

Su Xiao couldn't enter there again. The sewer environment was too harsh. Now that he was injured, with his physique, even if he wouldn't get infected, it would slow down the healing speed of his wounds.

Not long after the red-haired man entered the sewer, Su Xiao received a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise.

【The Hunter has notified Monarch Harold of the location of the Eye Chamber (4), and you have obtained 3% of the World's Source.】

【Promotion Mission: Sixteen Eye Chambers, completed (5/16). The Hunter can complete this mission with the lowest rating. Complete? Yes/No.】

Su Xiao did not immediately complete the second ring of the promotion mission. The second ring was different from the first ring; there was no competitiveness. Completing it early had benefits, but it was far less beneficial than finding another Eye Chamber. The higher the mission rating, the higher the comprehensive rating at the end of the world.

Su Xiao strolled on the bustling street. He felt much more relaxed. The second ring mission could be completed at any time, which was a significant advantage.

With 88.3% of the World's Source in hand, plus the explosive completion of the first ring mission, even if the rating of the second ring mission was very low, as long as Su Xiao's performance in the final mission wasn't too bad, he would have a chance to obtain an S+ comprehensive rating.

From now until the end of the second ring mission, this was the time Su Xiao could act freely. While recovering from his injuries, he had to figure out the details of those two unknown contractors. Hostility between the two sides was inevitable. Now Su Xiao was in the light, and the enemy was in the dark. One mistake could lead to being schemed to death by the enemy.

……

West side of Zuer City, Tranquil Cemetery.

The sun was shining brightly. This beautiful cemetery didn't appear eerie. The large forest around it and the green vegetation between the graves made this place full of vitality, and many kinds of birds lived here.

Right in broad daylight, under the bright sky, three people were standing in a dirt pit.

Only then did one see that all three of them were shirtless, their bodybuilder-like muscles making the atmosphere gradually philosophical. All three were holding shovels, sweating over a mausoleum.

"Big Brother, do we count as grave robbers?"

The third of the National Football team spoke. Although the vicinity had been sealed by a barrier, even if a gravekeeper came nearby, they would instinctively change direction. But the third brother had a sense of guilt. He had killed deadly enemies, but grave robbing was truly the first time. In the third brother's view, this was a sneaky act.

"It doesn't count. Grave-robbing soil rats seek wealth; we only want the remains of Xiu Losnanle."

The eldest of the National Football team patted the third brother's shoulder and turned to continue digging.

And inside the mausoleum of Xiu Losnanle, Sin, who was sitting on the stone coffin, looked up, his expression clearly somewhat dull. He really didn't expect that besides him, someone would dare to dig up Harold's ancestral grave. Or was he exposed? How could that be?

That's right, Xiu Losnanle was indeed the ancestor of Monarch Harold.

Rustle, rustle...

The sound of digging approached. Sin's foot hooked, and a long spear made entirely of metal was picked up.

A few minutes later.

The eldest of the National Football team leaped into the tomb from the digging hole, and a long spear swept across his face. The first thought of the eldest of the National Football team was: Did Harold's ancestor come back to life? ===== CHAPTER 1735 =====
