Chapter 2201: Chapter Forty-Seven: Avoidance

The Source Pool was pitch black, wind whistling past Su Xiao's ears as he fell into the darkness below.

Not long after falling, Su Xiao wrapped his hand in a crystal layer and drove his right hand into the rock wall.

Crackle...

Shattered stone flew, Su Xiao's speed suddenly slowed, gradually coming to a stop.

"Yahou~"

Bahamut swooped past Su Xiao, noticed he had stopped, immediately flapped its wings to slow down.

"Woof!"

Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang also fell from above, Bahamut spread its wings, caught Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, and began falling together with it; not far into the fall, Bahamut flapped its wings to decelerate.

Su Xiao's fingers dug into the rock wall, he closed his eyes to sense the situation above, the Tianba tribe had not pursued, which left him slightly disappointed; in this terrain, with Bahamut assisting in battle, however many Tianba tribe came, that many would die; the Source Pool's diameter was only about five meters, plus Bahamut could fly and could drag Su Xiao through the air, in combat this was a decisive advantage.

After the sealing layer of the Source Pool was destroyed, it became like a naturally formed vertical shaft, bottomless, which made Su Xiao suspect whether the Abyssal Snake resided underground.

Bahamut's flight advantage now showed; Su Xiao grabbed one of Bahamut's claws, Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang lay on Bahamut's back, and Bahamut began to descend at a steady pace.

After falling several hundred meters, the pool shaft was no longer straight down but began to slope.

A few minutes later, Su Xiao reached the true bottom of the Source Pool, azure Source Water submerged the area; diving into the Source Water, he quickly reached the bottom, and diagonally ahead, an opening leading upward appeared.

With a splash, Su Xiao emerged from the Source Water, azure pool water dripped from his chin.

Looking upward, Su Xiao judged the Source Pool's overall structure should be U-shaped, one end behind the Abyssal Snake Manor, the other end leading who knows where.

Bahamut began dragging Su Xiao upward, this time much faster; about ten or so minutes later, light appeared above, as Bahamut fully flew out of the cave, several wisps of white cotton-like fluff drifted by—seeds of some plant, floating on the wind.

The sky was overcast, gray clouds parting to reveal white light, birds flew in flocks across the sky.

Water sounds came from afar; the distant cliff was lush green, a waterfall poured down.

Su Xiao released Bahamut's claw, began to descend; as he stepped onto the dry grass, water splashed up, the surrounding area submerged in shallow water, from above it looked like a large shallow lake, various aquatic plants growing here.

Closing the quest list, Su Xiao walked on the wetlands, he sought something in this world, finally found it; as long as he successfully destroyed the Spacetime Nexus Device, his quest would be complete.

Gazing ahead, a vast wetland stretched before him; Su Xiao had not gone far before he startled a flock of migratory birds resting here.

According to the coordinates marked on the holographic map, Su Xiao saw the Spacetime Nexus Device lay just a few kilometers ahead in the direct line.

Crossing the wetlands, Su Xiao reached a hillside; crossing this hill, after advancing about two kilometers, he could reach the Spacetime Nexus Device's location.

Vegetation covered the hillside; Su Xiao found a semi-open mountain cave; upon reaching near the Spacetime Nexus Device, he did not know what would happen, so beforehand, he opened all his Soul Money Bags and exchanged them for 【God's Judgment】, the safest choice; as for whether he could exchange for 【Heaven's Walk】, it remained uncertain for now.

Lighting a cigarette, under the Crown of Fortune status, Su Xiao took out Soul Money Bags one by one from his storage space, totaling 61; if extremely unlucky, he might not even be able to exchange for 【God's Judgment】.

After a moment's thought, Su Xiao decided to open 10 Soul Money Bags at once; this improved efficiency and could avoid losses from bad luck.

【You opened Soul Money Bag x10.】

【You obtained 43 Soul Money Coins (Seventh Tier).】

Luck was mediocre, Su Xiao chose to continue.

【You opened Soul Money Bag x11.】

【You obtained 85 Soul Money Coins (Seventh Tier).】

Luck was excellent, Su Xiao decided to slow his pace.

【You opened Soul Money Bag x5.】

【You obtained 6 Soul Money Coins (Seventh Tier).】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao's mood was good; he successfully avoided 'Negative Fortune'.

【You opened Soul Money Bag x2.】

【You obtained 4 Soul Money Coins (Seventh Tier).】

Avoiding 'Negative Fortune' again, even Su Xiao couldn't help but smile.

【You opened Soul Money Bag x10.】

【You obtained 11 Soul Money Coins (Seventh Tier).】

The smile on Su Xiao's face faded somewhat; Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang and Bahamut beside him both turned their heads—one looked up at the sky, the other preened its feathers.

The last 20 Soul Money Bags, Su Xiao refused to believe he would keep being unlucky.

【You opened Soul Money Bag x20.】

【You obtained 197 Soul Money Coins (Seventh Tier).】

The Crown of Fortune proved reliable; Su Xiao checked his current Soul Money Coins (Seventh Tier), totaling 367!

With so many Soul Money Coins, Su Xiao had enough to exchange for 【God's Judgment】 and 【Heaven's Walk】; even the remainder, he could choose between 【Electro Walk (Holy Spirit Tier·Accessory)】 and 【Noble Wrist Ornament (Special Equipment)】.

【Electro Walk】 Su Xiao himself had no use for it, but its attributes were visible: 'Wearing this gear increases overall damage intensity of Lightning-element abilities by 32%, and adds a certain amount of true damage.'

For contractors of Lightning-element abilities, 【Electro Walk】 would drive them mad—overall destructive power of Lightning-element abilities increased by 32%, plus a certain amount of true damage; ask, which Lightning-element sorcerer would refuse?

As for why sell it to sorcerers, the reason is simple: one, sorcerers are all big spenders; two, if Su Xiao later encounters this buyer, and they are hostile, he has the means to teach them a lesson—'Energy Blockade' can be called a mage killer; among peers, mages facing Su Xiao in battle, aside from despair, would have no other mental activity.

As for the 【Noble Wrist Ornament (Special Equipment)】, its value is far lower than that of 【Electric Travel】, and the benefit of exchanging it is that special equipment is more versatile, so Su Xiao has a high probability of being able to use it directly, though most special equipment does not directly enhance combat power.

Among the special equipment Su Xiao possesses, none directly enhances combat power, and moreover, special equipment can be worn at most four pieces; he has already filled all slots, with the details as follows:

Fate Sovereign (Legendary): Increases luck attribute.

Soul Lock Lamp (No Fixed Grade): Can collect soul crystal fragments (perfectly compatible with the Soul-Eater talent).

Origin Stone (No Fixed Grade): Enhances swordsmanship cultivation speed, inspires sword technique development, and greatly improves meditation effectiveness (Su Xiao obtained this reward after securing first place in the fifth tier of the arena).

Soul·Wang Zhi Reincarnation (Legendary·Set): Has a harmonizing effect, allowing 【Black·Wang Zhi's Fallen Sacrifice】 and 【Day·Wang Zhi's Rebirth】 to be worn simultaneously; the Black King's arm guard is of the 'Dark Attribute', and the Day King's pendant is of the 'Day Attribute'; without the Soul King, it is fundamentally impossible to wear both at the same time.

……

Since all four pieces of special equipment are very important, Su Xiao decided this time to give up the 【Noble Wrist Ornament】.

【You have obtained Heavenly Travel (Holy Spirit Level·Accessory).】

Tip: After wearing this equipment, your ranged-type basic abilities can be increased by two levels in a short time, up to a maximum of Master Level; depending on the situation, the effect can last 5 to 30 minutes.

Tip: Accessory-type equipment is extremely rare, and only one can be worn at a time.

【You have obtained Electric Travel (Holy Spirit Level·Accessory).】

【You have obtained Divine Judgment (Growth Equipment).】
