Chapter 1882: The Old Shaman's Stance

~8 min read 1,432 words

The pitch-black space vortex surged. That twisted space allowed Su Xiao to judge one thing: Moon Girl hadn't been teleported into the Reincarnation Paradise. If it had been intercepted by the Reincarnation Paradise, the space fluctuation wouldn't have been so unstable. That is to say, Moon Girl had already been teleported to the bottom layer of the Black Abyss.

Before Moon Girl was teleported out of the Dead Silence City, Su Xiao didn't know where the other party would be teleported to. Although the teleportation coordinates of 【Flower of Life】 were the bottom layer of the Black Abyss, there was the successful precedent of Sha, which showed that if it were intercepted by the Reincarnation Paradise during the teleportation, it wasn't impossible to enter the Reincarnation Paradise.

Soon, the space vortex above the clock tower disappeared, and with it, the top of the clock tower. As for that flower of life, it had turned into ashes due to the consumption of the teleportation.

If used properly, the flower of life was also a very good weapon. However, wanting to use this thing to set a trap required meeting the following conditions:

1. Master the method of constructing space array diagrams.

2. Be proficient in any one of the knowledge of array diagram studies, alchemy, or magic path construction.

3. Activate the array diagram in advance, and use other space-type props and equipment to mask the twisted space fluctuations emitted by the flower of life, so as to paralyze the enemy.

……

All three were indispensable. Right now, Su Xiao no longer had the flower of life. This thing wasn't easy to get. The risk and return of picking it weren't proportional. Even if the Blade Demon wasn't near the sea of flowers of life, the risk of picking it wasn't low. Where the leader of the Phantom Troupe got this thing from, it was temporarily unknown.

The twisted space vortex had just disappeared when Su Xiao received a Reincarnation Paradise tip. Seeing this tip, he was somewhat surprised.

【Moon Girl has died.】

【Detected that Moon Girl's cause of death is unrelated to a powerful individual in this world.】

【Killer...】

【The killer's tier is too high, the Hunter is temporarily unable to obtain detailed information.】

【Killing judgment is abnormal...】

【Re-judgment, judgment complete.】

【The Hunter caused Moon Girl's mobility to be greatly reduced.】

【The Hunter is the leader of the space teleportation, which is the key factor leading to Moon Girl's death.】

【Hunter's kill share: 13.5%.】

【Judgment resetting...】

【Hunter's kill share: 39.3%.】

【If you open the Soul Money Can in this world, Soul Coins have no value for the time being. If you use the Soul Money Can during the settlement in this world, it will greatly improve the comprehensive evaluation.】

……

Seeing the tip after killing Moon Girl, Su Xiao was very surprised. He didn't expect that after the Blade Demon killed Moon Girl, the Reincarnation Paradise actually judged an additional kill bonus.

Consuming more than 20 bullets could only slightly wound Moon Girl. Su Xiao no longer expected to have kill rewards. Solving Moon Girl was more critical for moving freely in the central area of the Dead Silence City.

Excluding the 8.9% Source of Darkness and the Soul Money Can, this was completely an unexpected joy. The value of the former didn't need to be stated; it could permanently upgrade Su Xiao's talent. As for the latter, this was very special. After all, Su Xiao didn't kill Moon Girl independently, but with the help of others.

If used properly, then 【Soul Money Can】 could allow Su Xiao to obtain a large amount of benefits. As for improving the comprehensive evaluation during the world settlement, that was a guaranteed reward. If he wanted to maximize the benefits of 【Soul Money Can】, he needed to take a great risk.

The sound of battle didn't attract other residents of the Dead Silence City, which made Su Xiao breathe a sigh of relief. If it weren't for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang exploring the way, wanting to pass through the periphery of the Dead Silence City could only be done by breaking through by force. However, after arriving in the central area, although the combat power of the residents here soared in a straight line, as long as they were avoided well, it was safer here than on the periphery.

Su Xiao took out the map of the Dead Silence City. He wasn't prepared to go to the "Supreme Sanctuary." That place would be very dangerous. He had already been to the Treatment Institute, which had exploration value, but lacked key information.

The remaining places worth exploring were only the "Sacrificial Altar" and the "Hall of Birth." The former could upgrade talent ability, while the latter was the quest target. 【1

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao decided to go to the 'Sacrificial Altar' first. Benefits in hand are the only ones that truly count as his. He now had 27.9% of the Source of Darkness; if he didn't go to upgrade his talent abilities and happened to encounter an emergency that forced him to leave the Dead City, it would be a blood loss.

The squad regrouped, with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang still leading the way, Amu bringing up the rear, and Su Xiao in the middle. Do not think that being in the middle is comfortable; he could reinforce Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu at any time.

As for Veronique, this girl clearly already understood the situation in the central area of the Dead City. Once they reached this point, her abilities were no longer that important, but if they wanted to leave the Dead City, her abilities would still be somewhat useful.

The 'Sacrificial Altar' was less than five kilometers away from the Zhong Ta. After some exploration, Su Xiao had a rough understanding of the terrain in the center of the Dead City.

"Among us, it seems there's a 'traitor'."

Veronique, who was following behind Su Xiao, only said this after hesitating for a long time.

"What I mean is, not a traitor in the usual sense, damn it, how should I put it."

Veronique scratched her hair. Thinking of the old man who had sacrificed his life to help them cover the retreat, she felt very conflicted.

"Are you talking about the old charlatan?"

Su Xiao didn't stop his pace. After lighting a cigarette, he took out the map to check.

"When I was captured before, I saw a portrait. In the portrait, Mr. Ken Rahan was standing with five Crow Doctors. They seemed to be discussing something, but based on the situation all along, I trust Mr. Ken Rahan."

Veronique's tone was firm; after all, the old charlatan's act of covering their retreat had moved her.

"What you see is not necessarily the truth. No one can choose their origin; personal decisions are the key."

Su Xiao didn't care about Veronique's words, because whether it was Wufu, the Minister of Finance, or Zos, they had all done dishonorable things when working under Su Xiao. If one were to delve into it, Su Xiao would have no one to use when he seized power. The final choice is the key.

As for which side the old charlatan was on, it was the same saying: personal decisions are the key. If the old charlatan chose to return to the side of the Dead City, he would be the most troublesome enemy, after all, he understood Su Xiao better than Wufu, the Minister of Finance, and the others.

However, the old charlatan chose to send Su Xiao a map, which already indicated the other party's attitude. As for the old charlatan's whereabouts, Su Xiao felt that the old man seemed to be avoiding something.

"I think I understand. In other words, Mr. Ken Rahan is trustworthy?"

Veronique's mood brightened a little. In the crisis-ridden Dead City, if the squad members were suspicious of each other, the possibility of getting out of here would be very low.

"No, if the old charlatan chooses to stand on the side of the Dead City, the first person he will have to deal with is definitely you."

"Uh~"

Veronique froze, feeling that the whole person was not well. In fact, the possibility of the old charlatan choosing to stand on the side of the Dead City was very low, otherwise, the other party would not have sent the map.

The journey to the Sacrificial Altar was smooth, but just as they were about to arrive, Su Xiao stopped in front of a small wooden house.
