Chapter 2244: Fierce Mu Hua

The Execution Blade dissipated, and the black long dress on Anna's body seemed to become more gorgeous, or perhaps there was no change.

"As a reward for completing the death game, you can choose any collection in the Final Place."

Anna stood beside the entrance of the corridor, and the meaning was already very clear: pass through this corridor to reach the Final Place, which was the treasure vault of the Death House.

Su Xiao entered the corridor. On the walls on both sides of the corridor were oil paintings of men and women with different expressions—some gloomy, some serious.

These were the masters of the Death House through the ages, and above their oil paintings, a blood-stained short blade was stabbed.

Walking to the middle of the corridor, Su Xiao saw Anna's oil painting. Anna in the painting was smiling, her skin, although fair, was not as pale as it was now.

Su Xiao stopped and took out the Cursed Gold Coin. He wanted to test whether he would be pursued by the Axe Brothers here.

*Ding~*

The Cursed Gold Coin was tossed up, spinning slowly in mid-air, eventually stopping one meter from the ground, reverse side.

Successfully summoning the pursuit of the Axe Brothers, Su Xiao began to wait. At most a few minutes later, heavy footsteps appeared outside the corridor. The Axe Brothers were arriving.

Su Xiao quickened his pace, followed by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha, and reached the end of the corridor, where a large door was wide open.

Su Xiao entered the Final Place, and the Samsara Paradise hint appeared.

【Hint: After the Hunter selects the death game reward, you will immediately return to the Strongest Contest rest area.】

【If the Hunter does not make a selection within half an hour, you will randomly obtain an item in the Final Place.】

At the entrance of the corridor, Anna looked at the Axe Brothers stopping in the corridor and smiled.

"He didn't choose to kill you. It's really surprising."

An aged and dry voice came, and the hunchbacked old woman carrying the oil lamp appeared beside Anna.

"Do you hope I die, Silent One?"

Anna's voice was still as gentle as ever.

"Hope, and don't hope."

"Do you know why you were defeated back then?"

"Because I wasn't as despicable as you."

"Hmm~ there are some reasons for that, more importantly..."

"What is it?"

The hunchbacked old woman's gaze became unfriendly.

"Because... I know you too well."

"..."

The hunchbacked old woman was speechless, turned around, and walked into the black fog that appeared out of thin air beside her.

Facts proved that women who speak gently + are fair-skinned and beautiful + have strong strength, if you cut them open, nine out of ten are black inside.

Final Place, Ancient Collection Area.

Rows of shelves were placed here, the layout somewhat similar to a library, but books were replaced with various treasures.

Walking between the collection shelves, Su Xiao was always thinking about what form the third round of the Strongest Contest would take.

The first round was a melee (Twilight Island), the second round was resource accumulation (Death House), the third round was unknown, the fourth round was the arena mode, and the fifth round was the Ten Strongest Contest.

On the collection shelves on both sides, Su Xiao didn't know how many items he had seen that he liked, but he didn't choose these things. Even if one of the collections was likely a Saint-Spirit-grade high-score long blade.

At the moment, there were only 17 minutes left. If he didn't make a choice, he would draw randomly. At that time, what he obtained would depend on luck.

Su Xiao quickened his pace. The Final Place was too large. It was unrealistic to read through all the collections here in half an hour.

Therefore, Su Xiao had Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha split up to search for a type of item.

"Wang."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's bark came from afar. Su Xiao put down a crystal ball in his hand and walked toward the direction where Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was.

Soon, Su Xiao arrived near Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was holding a glass bottle in his mouth, which was full of gray-black fine sand.

Su Xiao took the glass bottle. This thing didn't count as equipment, nor did it count as a prop, but he immediately chose this item as the reward for the death game.

【The Hunter is about to return to the Strongest Contest rest area.】

【Equipment wearing restrictions have been lifted.】

【The Hunter can take out the required equipment from the storage space within 5 minutes. Except for equipment, other items cannot be taken out.】

【Storage space seal has not been lifted.】

【Hint: Storage space seal will continue until the fourth round of the Strongest Contest.】

【Transmitting...】

Light and shadow flickered before his eyes. When the spatial fluctuations stabilized, Su Xiao was already in rest room 1005. The dull-witted butler robot drove over quickly. Determining it wasn't an outsider invading, the butler robot's electronic eyes returned from red to green. Benny, who was squatting on its head, discovered that Su Xiao had no injuries, so it continued to be beautiful.

As for Amu, it was lying on the ground sleeping soundly.

Sitting on the sofa, Su Xiao took out all the equipment he needed to wear and put it on.

The storage space was still sealed and would not recover until the fourth round. In terms of combat power, this didn't have much impact on Su Xiao.

Su Xiao relaxed his whole body, lying on the sofa. The Death House was quite dangerous, with too many enemies he couldn't confront. Most of the people he encountered were a pile of question marks after checking their data.

【Hint: The Hunter has passed the second round of the Strongest Contest.】

【Number of participants from our side this round: 3 (Samsara Paradise).】

【Number of promoted participants from our side this round: 1.】

【Number of deaths from our side this round: 1.】

【Number of eliminated participants from our side this round: 1 (returned to Samsara Paradise, honorable return, this participant has successfully seized a native world).】

【Number of participants from other camps killed by our side this round: 25 (Hunter killed 1 this round).】

The statistics for the second round ended. Seeing these statistics, Su Xiao immediately thought that the locations reached by the other two people on his side had a considerable number of participants.

The Death House where Su Xiao was previously had only 6 people in total, while the locations reached by the other two on his side had a combined total of at least 28 people.

The result was not optimistic, but it also showed the style of the Crazy Paradise. One was eliminated, and the other died in battle. No need to think, he knew these two were besieged, and after a slaughter, they didn't kill their way out.

The actual situation was indeed so. The three people from the Samsara Paradise this time, besides Su Xiao, the other two, one was named Mu Hua, a combat healer, and also a Hunter.

And the last one, named Giant Jushi, was a lone wolf about to be promoted to Tier 7.

Mu Hua didn't die. The assessment she participated in was a snatching type. Being eliminated was entirely due to bad luck. When she was in a melee with a large group of participants, a participant in despair used their own ability to destroy six "Memory Chips," and the remaining one was in a semi-destroyed state.

Mu Hua was furious. She slaughtered all participants in the same area and took that semi-destroyed memory chip to delay time. After that... this girl directly world-core, and snatched it. The Void Tree nearly judged her as violating the rules.

As for Giant Jushi, he was besieged. 17 people besieged him, and he died in battle. Two people from the enemy side survived, and one of them died before being transmitted away by the World Tree, killed by Giant Jushi's ability. On that island, only one person survived in the end, and they were directly traumatized.

Su Xiao recognized Mu Hua. When he was just promoted to Tier 6, the other party was the 34th in the Tier 6 Paradise Arena. In fact, it was said that this girl actually fell from the top ten. The reason was that she had already obtained the reward for the fifth place, and was restrained by the fourth place's ability. Besides, there were only a few people in the top ten, and mutual matching was too boring, so she simply dropped her ranking and let herself go, starting to happily bully the weak.

All other participants from his side were eliminated. Su Xiao had no waves in his heart about this. If there were no restrictions from the Samsara Paradise, and they didn't fight after meeting participants from his side, that would already be good.

The third round would start in two days. Learning this news, Su Xiao thought of a possibility: the third round of the Strongest Contest was that all participants were in the same location or the same area.

This coincided with Su Xiao's previous speculation. If everything went smoothly, the item he obtained in the Death House would shine in the third round.

Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the sofa. With nothing to do, he began to meditate with his eyes closed.

Meditation made time pass very quickly, and coupled with daily blade technique practice, a day passed quickly.

Su Xiao didn't wait for two days. On the afternoon of the next day, the second round of the Strongest Contest ended. 3 hours later, the third round began. 【2244-

【The Hunter is about to participate in the third round of the Strongest Contest; transmission is about to begin.】

【Destination: Viking Sea.】
