Chapter 2263: Sea Monster

The soul memory dissipated. Su Xiao rubbed his brow lightly. This soul memory was indeed "complete," but it was basically useless. In the future, unless it was very special, he would ignore "Suffering Memory" when stripping it out.

Nigadi was quite spirited. Don't say begging for mercy, after Su Xiao arrived at this hall, there was no nonsense between the two sides, it was just life and death.

Amu carried away Nigadi's corpse and buried it in a pit outside the hall. The only thing left by Su Xiao was Nigadi's right arm, a gray-white arm made entirely of bones.

After searching in the hall, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang found three soul crystals (complete) in the dark compartment behind the throne. Previously, a total of four were taken away by Nigadi, one of which had been used. If Su Xiao hadn't arrived in time, these three wouldn't have been left either.

Except for these three soul crystals, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang didn't find other extraordinary items. Those things should have been used by Nigadi to reward followers, so that the followers would be more loyal.

Various gold and silver jewelry were found a lot. Except for these treasures, after Su Xiao pushed over the stone throne, he saw that it was full of gold coins underneath.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Bahar began to collect gold coins. After counting, except for gold and silver ornaments, there were 82,504 gold coins in total. This was a considerable asset. If he went to the "Fuyinding Kingdom," he could buy an "Honorary Councilor" position, and still have more than half left. If he had ambition, he could also buy a few large ships, recruit thousands of sailors to go to sea, and grab a shipping route to collect money.

With these gold coins, things would be more convenient in the future. Moreover, there was Nigadi's arm.

Now Su Xiao's goal was only one, which was to find Luoshi Island (Terror Island), arrive there, and complete the third round of the Strongest Contest.

Through the previous inquiries, Su Xiao learned that Terror Island was a taboo for pirates. Very few pirates could come into contact with it. If he wanted to know the location of Terror Island, the most effective means was to contact one of the three legendary pirate groups and learn the direction of Terror Island from the captain.

Among the three legendary pirate groups, Su Xiao had only come into contact with the Black Sea King Agati. The only impression was that she was a somewhat narcissistic pirate.

The rain outside the hall gradually subsided. Seeing this, Su Xiao walked toward the hall door. Just after walking out of the hall, the moonlight shone down. Without the cover of dark clouds, the sky was full of stars. The night view of this world was very beautiful, especially after eliminating the Ancient God.

Returning along the original path through the withered wood forest, when he arrived at the shore of the shallow water area, Su Xiao saw the small wooden boat in the night.

"You... came back."

The black-robed figure looked at Su Xiao, and in the eye sockets were ghostly green pupils.

"Did that god fall?"

The black-robed figure's voice was still hollow, but it was no longer as sad as before.

"Slaughtered by me."

Su Xiao threw the bone arm in his hand onto the wooden boat, making a thud.

"Ah~, so that's how it is."

The black-robed figure was silent. Su Xiao leaped onto the small wooden boat. The reward given by the black-robed figure wasn't high. There were no treasures, nor power inheritance. He just carried Su Xiao for a while.

Soon, the small wooden boat stopped on the other side.

"Don't come back again. Everything here, leave it to me. Farewell, strange strong man."

The black-robed figure looked up at the stars in the sky. The two smiling faces in his mind became clear again. 【226

"Meteor, look, it's a meteor."

It seemed a crisp child's voice appeared beside the black-robed person. The ghostly green pupil flames in his eyes turned translucent white. Today's starry sky was very brilliant, but unfortunately, no meteor appeared.

"If you can do it, leave no one alive."

Su Xiao leaped off the ship and walked toward the mangrove forest ahead. Some remnants of the Light-Extinguishing Divine Sect might find this island; those people were troublesome.

"I obey your command."

The black-robed person pressed his hand to his chest and bowed slightly toward Su Xiao's back. At this moment, the pupil flames in the black-robed person's eye sockets turned from translucent white to blood red, like a grim reaper guiding the dead on the River Styx.

One hour later, on the sea several nautical miles away, the Doom lowered its sails. With the sea breeze, the Doom's speed surged significantly.

Su Xiao's destination for this trip was not a land island, but a "drifting island" located on the sea, known as the Great Sea Monster, Tantangro.

The Great Sea Monster, Tantangro, only drifted within a fixed sea area. A circular undercurrent made it a landmark of a certain sea area.

The Great Sea Monster, Tantangro, belonged to the island-ship category and was also the largest known "Secret Relic," belonging to the "Fuyinding Kingdom." Strangely, this island-ship only served pirates.

As for the reason, this involved several conflicts between the Black Sea King and the "Fuyinding Kingdom." The Great Sea Monster, Tantangro, could not leave that sea area, and as a Secret Relic, its ownership was in the hands of a certain kingdom high-official, which led to the current scene.

The Great Sea Monster, Tantangro, could only drift on its own. Due to the climate of the sea area, the Black Sea King could not get this island-ship, and the "Fuyinding Kingdom" could not either. Simply put, the Fuyinding Kingdom rented the Great Sea Monster, Tantangro, to the Black Sea King.

This island-ship was indeed large, but its drifting speed was too slow. Pirates were more accustomed to calling it Turtle Island. This was a paradise for pirates; you could buy anything on Turtle Island, and you could safely sell all stolen goods—after all, this was the Black Sea King's territory.

As such a famous drifting island, it was of course on the sea chart Su Xiao had purchased, and it was not far from the sea area he was in. Ordinary ships would take 3–5 days to sail there, but the Doom would arrive by tomorrow morning at the latest.

With nothing to do, Su Xiao lay on the wooden bed in the captain's cabin for a nap. Just as he was half-asleep, a prompt appeared, which made him much more alert.

【Prompt: God's Judgment has been promoted to Epic-grade.】

【God's Judgment】

Quality: Epic-grade (originally Legendary-grade)

Category: Ring

Durability: 29/30

Equipment Requirements: None

Equipment Effect 1: Soul Life (Passive), for every point of soul strength, the wearer will gain 100 points of health (already increased by 20 points) and 0.6% neural reflex speed (already increased by 0.1%).

Current Soul Strength: 180 points.

Health Increased: 18,000 points (originally increased by 12,000 points of health).

Neural Reflex Speed Increased: 108% neural reflex speed (originally 75% neural reflex speed).

Growth Condition: After killing an extremely evil god, this equipment can absorb the god's energy to grow. The growth magnitude will be determined based on the tier of the evil god killed (extremely evil gods are mostly Ancient Gods).

Score: 700 (Epic-grade equipment scores range from 530–700 points).

Introduction: Survive, and then... hunt.

Price: Cannot be sold.

The result Su Xiao most hoped to see, and which was within his expectations, had appeared. 【God's Judgment】 did not gain any flashy abilities; after its quality was promoted, it simply increased more health and neural reflex speed, which was also what Su Xiao needed.

Originally, given Nijadi's strength, Su Xiao thought 【God's Judgment】 could be promoted to Holy Spirit-grade. Unfortunately, it was just one step away, so he could only wait for the next evil god to appear.

During the voyage, time passed unconsciously. The morning sun rose from the horizon, illuminating this sea. Today was not an overcast or rainy day.
