Chapter 1855: Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and the Overlord-class Creature

~9 min read 1,675 words

The sun was blazing. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang passed through the main gate of the royal palace smoothly and entered a straight, narrow path. At least twenty meters wide, the path was lined with soldiers in black armor. Although they were living people, they were as stiff as machines, standing motionless, except for the occasional blink that revealed they were still alive.

Given Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's method of infiltration, he naturally didn't sneak around; instead, he walked openly along the path. His ability wasn't invisibility, but rather "Environmental Integration," which was several tiers higher than invisibility.

Before Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang infiltrated the royal palace, Su Xiao had already completed the preparatory work with him, such as the terrain of the palace and the possible location of the Black Throne. As for asking the Old Shaman, the other party clearly wanted someone to sit on the Black Throne in a legitimate manner, so Su Xiao didn't let the Old Shaman know about this.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang opened a virtual map, on which most areas were marked as unknown.

Su Xiao was using the Apostle's Eye to observe the royal palace from high altitude. The palace could be divided into three large areas; the frontmost part consisted of many large halls, which were connected to each other.

In the middle section was the former residence of the Black King, and at the very back was a large hunting ground, mountain ranges, and so on.

It could be said that this was the largest royal palace Su Xiao had ever seen. This layout was as if the Black King had casually chosen a place to establish the palace, and the entire Holy City was built with the palace as the center.

The latter part of the royal palace was ignored; the Black Throne was more likely to be in the connected halls in the front part.

These halls were all over a hundred meters high. They appeared to be multiple buildings, but in reality, they were tightly connected. When looking down from above, Su Xiao felt that this place looked like a fortress that had been partially demolished and then rebuilt, which was why these tightly connected halls existed.

Even though the surroundings were shaded by green trees and several gardens had been built, it still couldn't hide the murderous aura of these halls.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang stood in front of a magnificent hall. For some reason, he inexplicably panicked.

"Go for it, you can do it!"

Benny spoke in the team channel in text form. At this time, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was wearing a sensor on his head, and Su Xiao, Amu, and Benny could all see the footage he transmitted back.

"Master, give me some encouragement, I'm a little panicked."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang also spoke in text form.

Su Xiao: "You can do it."

Amu: "Moo."

With the insincere encouragement from Su Xiao and Amu, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang held his head high and walked toward the hall with a steady gait.

The hall was guarded by three rows of black-armored guards. They stood almost shoulder-to-shoulder in a row, each row about three meters apart, guarding the front hall airtight.

Helpless, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang jumped over row by row. The process was without surprise or danger.

The main gate of the front hall was tightly closed, and a black pattern sealed the main gate and all the windows. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang stood in front of a wall, activated 【Sacred Traveler】, and tried to reach his front paw into the wall. He passed through without any obstruction; there was no surprise.

Golden light particles flickered before Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's eyes, and the scene in his vision darkened. It was around three o'clock in the afternoon outside, and it was broad daylight. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be so dim inside the front hall.

The hall was not only dim but also had a low temperature and a faint smell of dust. Although Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was stepping on a wool carpet, he still couldn't help but shiver.

The furnishings in the front hall were simple, with pillars and beams towering, and it was relatively empty. Clearly, after the Black King died, the furnishings here had been removed. From the spider webs in the corners, it could be seen that no one had taken care of this place for a long time.

A few small spiders crawled past near Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, immediately attracting his attention, because these five gray-white small spiders were actually lined up in a row, and the frequency of their steps was exactly the same.

As Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang advanced into the depths of the front hall, the spider webs on the corners and pillars gradually increased. In the end, dozens of huge silk sacs even hung down from the ceiling.

"Help~ Help~"

A low and hoarse cry for help came from one of the silk sacs. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang stopped and tried to approach the source of the sound.

In the end, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang stopped under a partially damaged silk sac. Inside was a white skeleton, and the skeleton's hand bone was holding a metal rod. The sound came from here.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang carefully examined the skeleton. Based on a preliminary judgment, this was a contractor who had been dead for at least a few years. This could be seen from the damaged equipment inside the silk sac.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual around, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang lightly touched a piece of equipment with his claw tip and then immediately backed away.

"Master, this is a contractor from Death Paradise. The equipment is in a locked state, and the quality is not displayed."

Su Xiao in the Imperial Council Hall was a bit surprised. He wasn't surprised that a contractor from Death Paradise had entered the Black King World, but he was puzzled why there were so many spiders in the front hall.

"Explore according to the situation. If the situation is not right, retreat immediately."

"Leave it to me."

After Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang replied to Su Xiao, he chose to continue moving forward. Clearly, sharing information in the team channel was a very wise move, which gave Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang much more courage.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had a huge weakness, which was that he was afraid of ghosts. As for what kind of ghosts, even he himself couldn't explain clearly. This was likely because he watched horror movies during his newborn period, thus leaving an indelible memory.

With a circle of garlic, three crosses, five small peach wood swords, and half a bag of salt hanging around his neck, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang continued to move forward. He felt huge pressure; thinking about it, it was strange if he didn't feel pressure with so many things hanging around his neck.

Before entering the inner corridor at the deepest part of the front hall, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang stopped for the second time. A huge spider blocked the way. This spider was at least five meters high, its oval-shaped abdomen was the size of a house, and its eight armored legs were colorful, with the tips flashing with a metallic luster.

What was even more terrifying was that half a woman was growing on the abdomen of this giant spider.

【Queen Meredith (Overlord-class Creature)】

This was the only information Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had probed; everything else was a question mark.

At this time, Meredith was lying on the ground resting, and countless spider silks were attached to her armored legs, used to sense the surroundings.

Meredith completely blocked the inner corridor, and the wall was covered with spider silk. To go deep into the hall, she had to be dealt with.

If he were to fight this Overlord-class creature, let alone Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, even Su Xiao might die here. This thing was simply not something a Tier 5 contractor could deal with.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang naturally wouldn't fight head-on. He took a large loudspeaker out of his storage space and aimed it at the woman who only had her upper body exposed on the spider abdomen.

After taking a step back, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang pressed the switch in his paw.

"Sleep your paralysis! Get up and party!!"

The roar of the National Football Team's Second-in-Command came from the loudspeaker. Meredith, who was sleeping, jumped up directly, her eight armored legs piercing the ceiling. As an Overlord-class boss, she was indeed startled.

The woman on the spider abdomen opened her eyes wide, as if she hadn't been stimulated so much for a long time. Her purple hair hung down, and she let out a silent scream.

Rumble...

The entire front hall vibrated, and everywhere he looked was full of colorful spiders. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was almost scared to death, and he rushed into the inner corridor in a few steps.

Successfully entering the inner corridor, before Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could catch his breath, a giant figure in black armor blocked the inner corridor. The entire inner corridor was five meters wide, but this giant-like guard almost blocked the inner corridor completely.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang crawled on the ground and slowly crawled past the feet of the black-armored giant. Voldemort Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was at his limit.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang passed through the inner corridor and saw dozens of black-armored giants standing in the middle hall. On the high platform at the deepest part, a pitch-black throne stood on it. There was no doubt that it was the Black Throne. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang even saw the World Core embedded in the armrest of the throne.

However, a figure was sitting on the throne. Through the dim light, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang saw the appearance of this figure, which made his pupils shrink rapidly.

Sitting on the throne seemed to be Ken Lahan, that is, the Old Shaman! ===== CHAPTER 1856 =====
