Chapter 2218: Clearing the Field

Su Xiao held an Apollo in his right hand and the 【Mark Signal Gun】 in his left. He prepared to use a signal flare to attract the enemies' attention, thereby increasing the probability of the Apollo hitting someone. The 【Mark Signal Gun】 had five rounds; using one was not a waste.

Su Xiao pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A red signal flare ascended, exploding with a boom upon reaching high altitude. A massive φ-shaped mark appeared, which would last for a full 3 hours.

The Apollo was activated in Su Xiao's hand. Detonating the Apollo required 25 seconds. As for having Baha drop it from above, if Baha flew too low, it would be sensed by the enemies; if too high, it might be spotted directly by the enemies, allowing them to evade the Apollo's explosion.

When the Apollo had been activated for 10 seconds, Su Xiao assumed a throwing posture and tossed the Apollo out.

The Apollo vanished from Su Xiao's line of sight with a swoosh, and he began to time it.

Meanwhile, in a forest three kilometers away, Wago, disguised as a Dream Spirit, stopped in her tracks. Her emerald pupils rapidly constricted, and she immediately looked up.

The sense of crisis appeared quickly and vanished just as fast. An orange afterimage flew over her head with a swoosh.

Soon, Wago felt the ground beneath her feet shake.

Thud!

An incandescent fireball emerged in the distance. Just by seeing this thing, Wago could feel its high temperature and destructive power.

Just as Su Xiao had guessed, Wago Mo was indeed a pseudonym. This "Chanting Spirit" was named Nita. Due to her abilities, she often forgot her own gender and frequently performed the actions of a slovenly man while maintaining a pure appearance.

Nita's race was called the "Chanting Spirits." They were originally similar to druids, living in forests, sensing nature, and capable of mimicking various animals. Unfortunately, they could also mimic the appearance, physique, and aura of other human races, and even instantly mimic clothing and style after wearing special garments.

This racial talent was highly detested. Furthermore, because Chanting Spirits were "precious commodities," their trade and capture were now prohibited in the Void. After all, if one wanted a certain look, they only needed to let a Chanting Spirit take a look, and they could obtain it immediately. This could satisfy the bold ideas of many powerful figures.

If the Chanting Spirits hadn't chosen to stand with the Arcane Eternal Star faction a thousand years ago, they would have been extinct long ago.

Just as Nita was preparing to find a place to hide and disguise herself as a Feathered Clan member, she received a regional announcement from the Void Tree.

【Regional Announcement: A participant has already obtained more than 3 kill points. The Seventh Hegemony Zone leaderboard has been activated.】

First Place: Reincarnation Paradise (5 points)

Second Place: Death Paradise (1 point)

Third Place: None yet

Seeing this announcement, Nita looked at the metal box in her hand. She suddenly felt that this thing was extremely hot to the touch.

Meanwhile, five kilometers away, a female Feathered race looked at the giant fire pit in front of her, where the ground had already vitrified. The female Feathered race was named Shang Leng Yue. She was not of the younger generation of the Feathered race; the youngest generation of the Feathered race had no qualifications to participate in the Strongest Hegemony Battle.

"Is this... the style of Reincarnation Paradise? The Madman Paradise."

Shang Leng Yue muttered to herself, and not far from her stood a man wearing full-body armor.

"What? Do you want to fight me now? Child of the World from the Meteorite Star."

Shang Leng Yue tilted her head slightly, her eyes painted with blue eyeshadow narrowing.

"Unite... Twins, first, eliminate, Reincarnation Paradise's, madman."

The armored man's voice was hoarse, and faint black mist drifted from the two rows of air vents on his faceplate.

When he saw the armored man in the abandoned hall, Su Xiao judged at a glance that this guy came from a world with Ancient Gods. The armor on the opponent's body was imbued with the power of an Ancient God.

"Don't speak word by word. This is the Void; no one will compliment you."

There was clear disgust in Shang Leng Yue's eyes.

"Fine."

Although the armored man was angry inside, Su Xiao's two slashes earlier had truly shocked him.

"If the twins from Death Paradise agree, I have no objection."

As soon as Shang Leng Yue finished speaking, two identical voices came simultaneously.

"We agree."

The twin brothers appeared beside the fire pit. They looked at the solar flames within the giant fire pit, their eyes thoughtful.

"Leave here immediately. According to 'our' rules, after killing an enemy, that person will come to check."

The twin brothers turned and left. The armored man followed in silence. Shang Leng Yue hesitated for a moment before following behind the three.

A moment later, Su Xiao walked out of the forest. He stopped in front of the giant fire pit, seeing no items like treasure chests inside.

"Woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang suddenly barked.

"Right nearby? Boss, should we chase after them? The Feathered race, Death Paradise, and Meteorite Star are all mortal enemies."

"Chase."

Su Xiao thought of a possibility, as well as a chance to cooperate with one side. After all, someone nearby had deliberately left traces for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to track.

According to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's tracking, half an hour later, Su Xiao stopped in a rocky area. Four figures were standing or sitting in the rocky area. Among them, an armored man sat on a white stone, holding a black piece of meat in his hand. The black mist drifting from the meat was inhaled by the armored man through the vents on his faceplate.

Beside him stood a woman wearing black feathered robes. One look and it was clear she was of the Feathered race. The appearance of the Feathered race was like a gift from heaven; the females were beautiful in different ways, and the males were handsome. Perhaps the Ancient Gods and the Feathered race were mortal enemies; after all, one was beautiful to a new height, and the other was ugly to a new low.

"Been waiting for you for a long time."

The twin brothers spoke. Seeing the dense barcodes on their heads, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang really wanted to use a phone to scan them to see if he could scan the manufacturer or something.

"Decide the winner here?"

Su Xiao communicated with Baja and Amu through the team channel; Amu was responsible for the armored man, Baja would hold back the female Feathered Clan member, and as for the twins, he would deal with them personally. The twins were very strong, and if he fought them now, it might become very troublesome later.

"There's no need for our two sides to decide the winner here. See you in the later rounds. The left side of Twilight Island belongs to you, and we'll take the right side. As for that box, it depends on each person's ability. Let's finish clearing the field for the first round as soon as possible."

The twin brothers looked at the armored man.

"This Child of the World is a greeting gift. As for the Feathered race, do as you please, if you aren't afraid of the Feathered race's retaliation."

The air around the twin brothers began to distort. As one of the favorites to win the championship, their strength was naturally not to be underestimated. After all, they were the strongest Tier 6 experts in Death Paradise and the third-ranked in the Tier 6 Paradise Arena.

Hearing the twin brothers' words, the armored man stood up immediately.

Boom!

A wall of air fell from high altitude, blocking the armored man's path.

On the other side, Shang Leng Yue had already almost vanished into the dense forest. She could now be certain that she had encountered three old schemers.

"Ran away. Isn't it a pity?"

The twin brothers looked at Su Xiao with smiles on their faces.

"The left side of the island belongs to you. The box depends on ability."

"Just waiting for those words from you. If we fight here, it will only benefit others."

The twins walked to the left. They both raised their hands simultaneously, and the layers of air walls vanished.

By now, the armored man naturally knew he had been schemed against. Su Xiao and the twins were experts who had fought their way out of world after world, while the armored man, as the Child of the World of Meteorite Star, could imagine how smooth sailing he had had in Meteorite Star.

Su Xiao agreed to the twins' proposal for a very important reason: the armored man was indeed a Child of the World, and he had a mission called "Sky-Sweeping Shock," the completion of which had been stuck at 83%.

If he could complete this major mission after killing the armored man, it would be a huge profit.
