Chapter 2079: It's Just the Beginning
Su Xiao sat up from the stone coffin. He looked around. Unlike what he had imagined, the place where he was was not a tomb, but a natural cave, with the stone coffin located on the inner side of the cave.
The entire cave was about a thousand square meters in size and about ten meters high. Sunlight was projected onto the ground in the center. Directly opposite, on the cave ceiling, there was a hole four meters in diameter, and a small stream of mountain spring water flowed down along the rock wall.
Many plants grew inside the cave, and the "sliding-lid stone coffin" where Su Xiao was was actually not a stone coffin, but a stone box used for storing treasures.
And not far away, a stone statue stood here. This stone statue was a man holding a long spear with long hair. That long spear was not made of stone, but was a metal long spear, nearly three meters long in total, with a spear blade nearly half a meter long at the front. A horizontal blade edge extended from below the spear blade, making the front fifth of the entire long spear L-shaped.
Apart from this stone statue, there was nothing worth noting in the cave.
"Rule-breaker nest..."
Su Xiao closed the lid of the stone box and sat on it, thinking quickly in his mind. The information he currently had was too little.
【Prompt: "Brand fluctuation" of Employee No. 15053 has been discovered.】
【Locking on...】
【Due to the special nature of this world, a new spatial coordinate cannot be established. Position locking failed.】
【Brand linking...】
【Link successful. The Hunter can communicate with Employee No. 15053 for 5 to 10 minutes. Please cherish this opportunity.】
A light screen appeared in front of Su Xiao. After the light screen twisted a few times, an image appeared.
In a dim and cold room, a frail figure sat in front of a campfire, hugging her knees with both hands. A half-metal kettle was hanging above the campfire, and brown liquid was churning inside the kettle. Xia was... brewing coffee~
"Hey."
Su Xiao spoke. Just as his voice fell, he saw Xia on the other side of the light screen shiver.
"Who! I, I'm not afraid of you, I can fight!"
Xia grabbed a grenade, looking like she was ready to self-destruct at any time to avoid being captured by the enemy. In Reincarnation Paradise, even employees were not to be trifled with. Although their combat power was weak, don't even think about getting any benefits from them.
"Look over here."
"Eh? This voice..."
Xia was stunned for a moment. After turning around, she saw the light screen behind her. Clearly, she hadn't received the Reincarnation Paradise prompt.
"Su, Bai Ye?"
Xia was full of confusion, clearly not reacting to what was going on, and immediately changed her words, not calling Su Xiao by his real name directly.
"I received a mission to bring back 10,850 ounces of Space-Time Power from you."
"You received... this mission."
Although Xia was panicked, she quickly calmed down.
"Bai Ye, this is a Tier 6 world. Is it really... okay? What tier are you now? If the mission penalty isn't forced execution, you can consider giving up. Although I don't know where I am, this place... should be very dangerous."
After the initial excitement, Xia began to describe her previous experience. Xia didn't know why the transaction failed; she was suddenly teleported into the room where she was.
Regarding the transaction between Reincarnation Paradise and Holy Light Paradise, Su Xiao had many doubts, but with too few clues at the moment, he couldn't deduce anything at all.
"I just promoted to Tier 6 recently. To be precise, this is the first world of Tier 6."
"This..."
Xia looked troubled. Of course, she hoped Su Xiao would execute this mission, as it would make her survival rate higher, but as a friend, she didn't want to watch Su Xiao go to his death.
"Before you were teleported there, did you see anything?"
Of course, Su Xiao wouldn't give up on this mission. A mission with forced execution was no joke.
"See anything... Hmm~ a pile of tentacles, many, many of them."
"Nothing else?"
"Nothing else."
Xia wrinkled her nose. She smelled something burning.
"I am now..."
"Shh~"
Su Xiao held his index finger to his lips and gave a look to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja.
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang jumped to the edge of the cave in a few leaps, very agile, and also buried a magnetic hunter along the way.
Through the light screen, Xia witnessed this scene. She was stunned for a moment, because in her impression, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was Su Xiao's "mascot." Now it seemed that was clearly not the case; Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang displayed combat literacy that made Xia gasp.
Baja climbed onto the rock wall. Although this place was open, it wasn't suitable for it to fight.
A figure jumped down from the hole above the cave, landing with a bang. This person was nearly three meters tall, with dark skin all over, and tattoos could be vaguely seen on his bald head.
Just as the bald man jumped down, 6 figures landed behind him, tall, short, fat, and thin, 4 men and 2 women, totaling 7 people including the bald man.
These 7 people were dressed differently, but their auras were all too familiar to Su Xiao; they were all rule-breakers.
"What a coincidence, just 'passing by,' and actually encountered a Hunter who just finished teleporting."
The bald man touched his bald head, the hatred on his face undisguised. Compared to Battle Angels, Pioneers, Punisher Knights, etc., Hunters were the most ruthless. In battle, they wouldn't have any nonsense with rule-breakers; they would just kill.
"Brother Hei, don't talk nonsense with him. His equipment should still be in transit. Slaughter him while you can."
A woman with a face full of scars and a plump figure spoke. She was called Poison Ji, and the scar on her face was left by a certain Hunter, which she had kept until now.
"Of course."
The bald man, Brother Hei, whom Poison Ji referred to, grinned. His fists clenched, and the veins on his arms bulged like green snakes.
Subtle spatial fluctuations emerged, and the Black King Armguard appeared on Su Xiao's hand. The first piece of equipment had arrived, but unfortunately, it wasn't Checking Zhan Long Shan.
Bang!
The sound of an air explosion came. Su Xiao blocked in front of him with one arm, and a crystal layer quickly climbed onto his arm.
With a rumble, Su Xiao was blasted into the stone wall. Seeing this scene through the light screen, Xia looked desperate. A friend came to save her, and if even a friend died in this world, that would be more painful than killing her now.
Gravel slid down, and Su Xiao jumped down from the depression in the stone wall, moving his neck from side to side.
"What the hell, is this a tank?"
The bald man looked at his fist. His strength was in the lower-middle range of Tier 6, so after detecting that Su Xiao's brand level was Lv. 50, he was completely confident in destroying Su Xiao.
"Don't care what he is, let's go together."
"Time is precious. After dealing with him, we still have to track that Battle Angel. After all, it's 'that person's' order."
"Shut up, are you a moron?"
The six people behind the bald man all surrounded him, rushing toward Su Xiao in a semi-enclosed posture.
Click click click...
The crystal layer climbed onto Su Xiao's arms. While tilting his head to dodge a bullet, he swung his fist sideways, blasting back a rule-breaker in a stealth state.
Heavy running sounds came; it was that bald man. At this time, his whole body was glowing with a ghostly green light, and his speed was incredibly fast.
With a whoosh, the bald man rushed in front of Su Xiao. The next moment, Su Xiao disappeared.
Dragon Shadow Flash pierced through space, and Su Xiao appeared behind the bald man, kicking sideways.
Boom!
Gravel shot out, and the bald man rushed into the stone wall, creating a human-shaped hole.
A long sword slashed over, the wind wailing, heading straight for Su Xiao's side neck.
Clang~
Before the long sword could slash Su Xiao, it was knocked away by his elbow, slashing over Su Xiao's head. Unfortunately, there were too many enemies.
A huge force came from Su Xiao's lower back, and he immediately felt a sense of weightlessness, flying to the side.
Flying in mid-air, a cluster of blood exploded on Su Xiao's left arm. He blocked the bullet shooting toward his throat with his hand.
Rumble~
Su Xiao crashed into the stone statue, and the stone statue that had existed for hundreds of years "died in battle," turning into a large pile of gravel.
Standing up from the ground, Su Xiao exerted force in his arm, and the bullet embedded in his muscle was squeezed out.
"Must be fast. If this guy has a handy weapon, he's definitely a monster-level!"
Just as the bald man was about to rush forward, he felt a sense of crisis from behind. It was Baja. Baja didn't rashly join the battle, but often made pouncing postures to attract the enemy's attention, helping Su Xiao create opportunities.
It was in this gap that Su Xiao stepped on the ground, the impact spread, gravel flew, and the long spear in the gravel flew up, being grabbed by him.
He had a weapon, although he didn't know how to use it very well.
Su Xiao leaned his body forward and rushed directly toward the bald man. The other party was clearly the leader.
The roaring sound continued. Although Su Xiao didn't use the long spear, this thing had a blade, so it could barely be used as a sword.
Inside the light screen, Xia looked at Su Xiao with a dull face. She had known Su Xiao for too long and also knew that Su Xiao's strength was not weak, but she didn't expect it to be to this extent.
"Is he... this strong..."
Hope ignited in Xia's eyes. She clearly saw that Su Xiao wasn't wearing any equipment right now.
Five minutes later.
Thump!
Poison Ji was swept away by Su Xiao's spear, rolling onto the ground in a very sorry state.
Facts proved that even without equipment, Su Xiao could still fight; it was just that without a long sword, his combat power would be a notch weaker.
The seven rule-breakers were in a bit of a dilemma. They didn't come here by accident, but were tracking the trail of a Battle Angel. After sensing Su Xiao's aura, they came to solve it. In a Fully Open Native World, rule-breakers were the dominant side.
The chaotic battle lasted for five minutes. Su Xiao's Killing Instinct Belt, Hunting Night Jacket, Scarlet Angel Boots, and the three pieces of the Black King set were all teleported over, and he was directly in a wearing state.
With a thump, an invisible air hammer slammed onto the long spear. The ground under Su Xiao's feet cracked, but he didn't retreat. However, the weapon in his hand couldn't hold on anymore and shattered with a bang.
Even so, the expressions of the seven rule-breakers were still not good. The enemy was bare-handed at first, and they still couldn't do anything to him. Now, these seven people were preparing to strategically retreat.
Faint spatial fluctuations appeared beside Su Xiao.
"Here it comes."
A smile appeared on Su Xiao's face.
Zing~
The long sword rang crisply, the blade bright. Su Xiao grabbed the hilt of Checking Zhan Long Shan and slashed diagonally. A slash mark suddenly appeared on the ground beside him, extending to the top of the stone wall before stopping.
Boom!
Blood aura surged wildly. The battle had only just begun.
On the other side of the light screen, Xia took a few steps back. Separated by who knows how far, she seemed to be able to feel Su Xiao's sharp aura. ===== CHAPTER 2080 =====
