Chapter 2242: Choice

The plan to capture Shangyue went bankrupt due to the 【Cherry Wind Wine】 going to his head. In reality, Su Xiao wouldn't go too far either.

The two old guys from the Demon race and the Feather tribe had already given him enough face. Although the Death House was located in the Void, the risk of sending the 【Cherry Wind Wine】 shouldn't be low.

However, if there is a chance in the future, it is appropriate to capture Shangyue. The Feather tribe is too wealthy.

A small piece of White Fat Candle burned slowly. Because it was in the wooden house, this small piece of White Fat Candle burned very slowly.

After resting for a few hours, Su Xiao's slight intoxication faded. Lighting the super-sized White Fat Candle, he walked out of the wooden house and continued to explore in the black fog.

As for killing Nita, it was just to prevent certain situations from happening. If the escaped Shangyue wasn't too stupid, she would notice that Nita was wrong.

The clues Shangyue knew were quite messy, for example, Nita betrayed her, then saved her, etc. With such a huge contrast, she would notice before long that Nita was actually using her.

As for subsequent matters, with the reasoning ability of the Feather tribe young lady Shangyue, let's not make things difficult for her. Due to Su Xiao's interference, the situation she knew was very chaotic—so chaotic that she had already started to be confused and doubt life.

What Shangyue was facing at the same time was not one old schemer; one from the Feather tribe, one from the Demon race, and at this moment in the Death House, there was another one.

Su Xiao's transaction with the Feather tribe side seemed to be: "This is my cub, Law Destroyer, give me some face, don't kill her."

Compared to that "chess game," Shangyue's life experience was simply adorable.

The White Fat Candle dispersed the candlelight. Su Xiao took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha and moved forward.

After moving forward for about 20 minutes, Su Xiao felt that the black fog around him had changed, but for a moment, he couldn't say what was wrong.

A wooden house appeared in the black fog ahead. Following the convention, Su Xiao pushed the door to test it.

*Creak~*

The door opened a crack, and it was pitch black inside.

"Leave. I have nothing here to trade with you."

A loud voice came from inside the door. Su Xiao pushed the wooden door completely open, and the candlelight illuminated the room.

This room was dilapidated, and in the center of the room sat an old man wearing a priest's robe, with a very strong build. The priest's robe looked awkward and strange on him.

"Are you here to kill me?"

The strong old man raised his head. Su Xiao discovered that this old man was blind in one eye.

"I'm here to find the Forgotten Bone Tablet."

"Hmm, bone tablet."

The strong old man's hand reached toward the back of his neck and grabbed a chain as thick as an arm.

*Crack!! *

The chain was snapped by the strong old man. Seeing this scene, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog eyes widened. The Saintess, whose data was a pile of question marks, was shackled, but this old man snapped the chain directly.

"Since you're not here to kill me, then take me to find it. Just right, I also want to settle the score with the Fog Keeper over there."

Just as the strong old man walked to the door, the invisible light film twisted. The strong old man walked out of the wooden house, even closing the door by the way, and took out a key, inserting it into the lock hole of the wooden door.

Locking his own door, the strong old man took out a nautical compass from his bosom and began to determine the orientation.

"That way."

The strong old man gestured toward the southeast direction with his chin and walked forward. However, just before he touched the black fog, he stopped. Clearly, he wasn't strong enough to be outrageous, at least he didn't dare to touch the black fog.

Discovering this, Su Xiao also walked forward. Although he wasn't clear about the strong old man's background, the White Fat Candle in his hand was a bargaining chip. The worst result was destroying the White Fat Candle in his hand and perishing together.

And he sensed that meeting this strong old man was definitely not a coincidence. The black fog seemed to have some kind of change.

"Young man, you must have faith."

The strong old man suddenly spoke.

"..."

"Just like me. Initially, I had no faith, but a long time ago, I believed in a god, and it shared the power of a god with me every year."

Mentioning his hard-core faith, this old man, who was as strong as a brown bear, smiled kindly. And the god he believed in was truly unlucky, being extorted once every year, and if it fled, it would be caught back. How miserable.

When the strong old man was imprisoned in the Death House, that god smiled with relief. If it weren't for its status, that god might have wept with joy.

"Sigh, I really miss the god I believe in."

The strong old man walked in front, and suddenly, he stopped.

"Young man, are you listening to me?"

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, just pointed forward. In the black fog, a two-story wooden building could be vaguely seen.

"We arrived so quickly. Are you going to... Shadow Stone?"

"It's the bone tablet."

Su Xiao had discovered before that this old man was not normal. Although he was abnormally powerful, he was a bit mentally confused, so Su Xiao tried to avoid interacting with him.

"Oh, right, it's the bone tablet. I'll keep my word. You help me open the way, and I'll help you get the bone tablet."

The strong old man came to the two-story wooden building and pushed the door to enter. At most, it was only ten seconds, and a roar came from inside.

The door on the first floor of the wooden building was pushed open, and a blood-stained figure was thrown out—it was the strong old man, Mopi.

"No, the door at home hasn't been locked yet. This... won't do."

The strong old man wanted to crawl up, but a dark red hand pressed on his head.

"Mopi, I told you, don't, casually, leave, that, wooden house."

A figure in a black robe crouched beside the strong old man Mopi. His voice was dark and hoarse, and he was pressing one hand on Mopi's head.

"Why! Others govern the Death House, I, Mopi, have no opinion, but only you cannot."

Mopi's eyes widened, clearly unconvinced.

"Idiot..."

The black-robed person exerted force in his hand, crushing Mopi's skull with a *crack*.

"Just because I let you live until now. Now, you can die."

The black-robed person looked at Su Xiao.

"Fortunately, you didn't answer Mopi, otherwise he would have treated you as a god and believed in you. That would be very troublesome. I am the Fog Keeper."

The Fog Keeper took out the nautical compass from Mopi's bosom, threw Mopi's corpse into the black fog, and turned back into the wooden building.

Clearly, this wooden building was a special building within the black fog. At this time, the front door on the first floor was wide open.

Su Xiao entered the wooden building from the front door. As soon as he entered, he saw an acquaintance.

"Bai Ye, you came too. There is an empty spot here."

This acquaintance was Mengde, who was hanging upside down on a crossbeam, and he also pointed to the crossbeam above, meaning, there is an empty spot, let's hang up together.

"Do you know this idiot?"

Inside the wooden building, the Fog Keeper sitting behind the desk spoke.

"Not familiar."

"Hmm, that's good."

The Fog Keeper put away the idea of hanging Su Xiao up as well.

"Bai Ye, we are allies."

Mengde "wailed" and struggled hard.

"It seems you do know each other, then..."

The Fog Keeper's eyes were full of playfulness.

*Bang! *

Su Xiao slapped a short blade on the wooden table, and the playfulness in the Fog Keeper's eyes disappeared.

"You met 'her'?"

The Fog Keeper's expression became much more serious, and there was even a hint of fear.

"..."

"Let's get straight to the point. One Shadow Stone, two Forgotten Bone Tablets. If there is no Shadow Stone, go find it. There are many deep wells in the black fog. As for forcibly grabbing the bone tablets, you can try."

The Fog Keeper glanced at the hanging Mengde, and Mengde spat at him, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"One Shadow Stone, two Forgotten Bone Tablets."

Su Xiao placed the last Shadow Stone on the blade of the short blade. He had only obtained three of these in total.

"Rules..."

Before the Fog Keeper could finish, he was interrupted by Su Xiao.

"Let me lure Mopi over, because of that nautical compass?"

"Hehehehe."

The Fog Keeper laughed gloomily. After looking at Su Xiao for a few seconds, he said: "I like trading with villains; it saves a lot of trouble, so it's a deal."

Su Xiao pushed the Shadow Stone on the table toward the Fog Keeper. The Fog Keeper pulled open the drawer beside him and took out two bone tablets from it.

Su Xiao put away one bone tablet and threw the other to Mengde.

【Hint: You have obtained Forgotten Bone Tablet.】

【The Hunter has completed the second stage of the Strongest Contest. After selecting the death game reward, you will return to the Strongest Contest rest area.】

A wooden door opened from the wall behind the Fog Keeper, and Su Xiao walked into the wooden door.

As soon as he entered the wooden door, the scene before his eyes suddenly opened up. The layout here was the same as the banquet hall, only there was no golden door; instead, it was a tall corridor, not knowing where the corridor led.

Pain Queen Anna was standing beside the corridor, her hands bound at her lower abdomen, looking at Su Xiao without saying a word.

Su Xiao, holding the short blade, stopped in front of Pain Queen Anna. This short blade was meant to kill Anna.

There is no free lunch in the world, nor is there any kindness without reason. Su Xiao was able to obtain this short blade through the guidance of the hunchbacked old woman. Interestingly, this short blade was meant to kill Anna. ===== CHAPTER 2243 =====
