Chapter 2052

Su Xiao certainly knew what Bahar was talking about, but whether he could obtain that kind of reward depended on the actual situation.

Assuming Black Swamp was just an excellent hunter of the Diba Tribe, the World Source obtained from killing other Diba Tribe members wouldn't be low either, at least between 2.7% and 3.2%.

Calculated by the reward of 3% World Source for killing one Diba Tribe member, Su Xiao still needed to kill 32 Diba Tribe members for the World Source to exceed 100%, and killing 48 Diba Tribe members would give him a chance to obtain a World-level treasure chest.

Su Xiao didn't know how many Diba Tribe members were in the outskirts of Origin Island. If the number was large enough, he didn't mind "hunting" here for a few days, although doing so might lead to an increase in mission difficulty.

Apocalypse Paradise would definitely summon contractors to Origin Island. If Su Xiao went deep into Origin Island now, with his speed of travel, he would definitely be able to take the lead.

If he did that, he would have to give up reaping benefits in the outskirts of Origin Island. Once the mission was completed, Su Xiao would be teleported out of this world.

How to choose between the two made Su Xiao fall into thought. Was the mission a priority, or should he reap some benefits first? After all, it was his first time encountering such a good place as the outskirts of Origin Island.

Pondering for a moment, Su Xiao decided not to be in a hurry to enter the central area for the time being. In terms of the importance of the World Core, once he was close enough to the World Core, Apocalypse Paradise would highly likely teleport the contractors directly there.

At that time, it would be all for nothing. Not only would he not reap the benefits in the outskirts of Origin Island, but he would also have to deal with those contractors from Apocalypse Paradise.

Thinking this through, Su Xiao decided to clear the outskirts of Origin Island first. He was not only for obtaining the World-level treasure chest but also for the real attribute points converted from World Source when the world was calculated.

Su Xiao let Bahar and Amu stand guard around, while he and Xiang Bubu Wang searched the wooden houses of the small tribe.

After searching, Su Xiao determined one thing: this was just a temporary residence.

Su Xiao sketched a map on the ground. He divided Origin Island into three layers. The outermost area had no exploration value. This was the forest area, with a large number of Undead, and the rewards for killing Undead were shockingly low.

And moving inward was the swamp area, or a large area of shallow water. The deepest part of the shallow water area was only two or three meters. This area was highly likely a circle, separating the forest.

According to the map Su Xiao drew, Xiang Bubu Wang explored the surroundings in a circular route, which was moving along the inner edge of the forest.

Su Xiao waited for nearly six hours before Xiang Bubu Wang returned. It had circled back, having traveled a full circle around the "outskirts of Origin Island."

With Xiang Bubu Wang's speed, circling a full circle in six hours meant Su Xiao had already gone very deep into Origin Island, and it wouldn't be long before he could reach the central area.

The bad news was that Xiang Bubu Wang didn't find any more Diba Tribe members, but instead found quite a few alien creatures, most of which were inhabiting the shallow water.

Learning of this situation, Su Xiao was somewhat disappointed. The number of Diba Tribe members in the outskirts was smaller than imagined.

Su Xiao looked at the wooden bridge leading deep into the swamp. Following this wooden bridge forward, he would highly likely find other Diba Tribe members, but it would also be more dangerous.

After six hours of rest, Su Xiao's state was basically restored, and the team followed the wooden bridge deep into the swamp.

Creak, creak~

The wooden bridge had clearly been built for some years. There were no railings on both sides, and some round logs on the bridge surface had rotted into dregs. One could see the muddy water half a meter below, with various suspicious creatures swimming in the water, among which the three giants were: giant leeches, undead worms, and microbial bacteria.

The smell of the swamp was actually not unpleasant, provided one didn't fall into the water.

Su Xiao's expression was as usual. He had Green Steel Shadow energy to protect his body, basically ignoring the creatures in the muddy water, but Xiang Bubu Wang further ahead was somewhat panicked. The fur on its back was somewhat standing up. Although it could blend into the environment, there were countless creatures under its feet that could take its life, so it was inevitably somewhat panicked in its heart.

The wooden bridge was built between sparse trees. After moving forward for not long, Su Xiao arrived at the shallow water area. The water here was slightly green, and the muddy water couldn't be seen to the bottom, with plant leaves floating on the water surface.

The trees in the shallow water area were denser. The trunks of these trees were bare, and the crowns were lush.

After moving forward for only a few hundred meters, Xiang Bubu Wang at the very front stopped its steps. Three Diba Tribe members wearing grass skirts and holding long spears or extra-large stone hammers walked over from ahead.

The wooden bridge was only one meter wide. As the saying goes, when narrow roads meet, the brave win.

"Moo!"

Amu roared and slapped its hands on the bridge surface.

Crack, crack, crack...

Ice froze, Amu leaped onto the frozen ice surface and strode toward the three Diba Tribe members.

"Ku la ha (native language)."

A Diba Tribe member roared, and welcoming him was an ice war hammer.

"Ya hoo!"

Bahar swooped down from the low altitude of several dozen meters, pouncing toward another Diba Tribe member, while the remaining enemy was only one.

Su Xiao drew the long blade from his waist and rushed forward quickly on the wooden bridge.

Ten minutes later.

Puchi.

The long blade pierced through the throat of a Diba Tribe member. There were at least three slash marks on this man's chest, and a torn wound on the back of his neck. Even so, he still gripped Su Xiao's collar tightly until the luster in his eyes completely faded.

【You killed Diba Tribe warrior · Stone Claw.】

【You killed Diba Tribe warrior · Poisonous Lean Grass.】

【You obtained 5.82% World Source, current total World Source 11.41.】

【You obtained Perfect Infection Blood (Legendary Material).】

【The Hunter can choose from the following rewards...】

……

Su Xiao still chose Burning Blood Blade. The fire light lingering on Zhan Long Shan's blade edge was more obvious. Although it was only a temporary ability that would disappear after leaving this world, it was exceptionally easy to use when dealing with the Diba Tribe.

Three Diba Tribe members, with the cooperation of Su Xiao, Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, and Bahar, were killed in ten minutes, with one captured alive.

"Woo! Woo!"

A female Diba Tribe member tied up with five flowers struggled with all her might, glaring angrily at Su Xiao, wishing she could swallow Su Xiao alive.

"You can't die yet. After all, your tribesmen are truly too hard to find."

Su Xiao didn't kill this female Diba Tribe member named Blood Crow because the other party had an ability called "Uga" that could attract other Diba Tribe members.

Taking out the Demon Jar and the Soul Walker short blade from the storage space, Su Xiao opened the Demon Jar with somewhat heartache. The pure black demon power inside drifted out, and under his control, gradually clung to the blade edge of the Soul Walker.

Soon, the blade edge of the Soul Walker was completely pitch black. This consumed a full 5% of the high-purity demon power inside the Demon Jar. Su Xiao usually couldn't bear to absorb this stuff to improve the passive ability of the Demon Seal.

"Amu, hold her down."

Just as Su Xiao finished speaking.

Bang!

Amu stepped on Blood Crow's head. Blood Crow's body curled up subconsciously, her head sinking into the ice surface, ice chips splashing everywhere.

Su Xiao held the Soul Walker in reverse, wisps of black smoke rising on the blade edge. The fallen Blood Crow began to struggle violently.

Puchi!

The short blade pierced into Blood Crow's neck, stabbing from the neck into the chest cavity.

"Ah~"

Blood Crow let out a low moan, her whole body almost arching into a c-shape.

Gurgle gurgle...

Black blood vessels spread on Blood Crow's neck, her pupils gradually shattered, and fire patterns flickered within the shattered cracks, as if fire was burning inside the pupils.

The pitch black on the Soul Walker short blade faded quickly, and all the demon power sank into Blood Crow's body.

A few minutes later, Su Xiao untied the composite alloy rope on Blood Crow's body, and Amu held the ice war hammer high on the side.

"Amu, when I shout 80, you hammer her for me."

Bahar stared at Blood Crow. No one knew if the demon power could control this Diba Tribe member.

Blood Crow lay on the ground like she was dead, arching her body and not moving at all. Suddenly, her hand lifted.

"80!"

Bahar shouted low.

Woo~

An ice hammer with a diameter of three meters smashed down. Su Xiao lifted his arm, and the ice war hammer stopped in mid-air. Amu's body straightened, almost spraining its waist.

"Control successful."

Su Xiao snapped his fingers twice in front of Blood Crow. Blood Crow tilted her head, looking at Su Xiao suspiciously.

"Uh~, it is indeed successful, but I always feel she is a bit... dull?"

Bahar looked at Blood Crow. It felt that this Diba Tribe member wouldn't live long, at most two to three days of life left.

"That's not important."

Su Xiao patted Blood Crow's face and said: "Shout."

"Uga?"

Blood Crow let out a low shout in a very dull and cute way.

"Woo awoo~"

Xiang Bubu Wang looked up and let out a long howl, clearly having become interested.

"Louder."

"Woo awoo..."

Xiang Bubu Wang howled even more vigorously.

"I wasn't talking to you."

Su Xiao pinched Xiang Bubu Wang's mouth, signaling Blood Crow to attract other Diba Tribe members through shouting.

"Uga!!"

Blood Crow looked up and shouted with all her might, waves of sound spreading.

"I rely..."

Bahar was shocked and flew up. Su Xiao's assumption was successful, but Blood Crow shouted too loudly. Heaven knew how many Diba Tribe members would be attracted.
