Chapter 2354

The sky was covered with dark clouds. The weather, which was already evening, was even darker. A heavy rain was coming.

After bypassing 'Dapuxiu Fortress', Su Xiao had been traveling south for about 7 hours. Along the way, he crossed a mountain range area. This kind of sparsely populated world had more areas of wasteland and forests.

Originally, it should have been an environment with many wild animals. Along the way, Su Xiao only saw a few wild beasts. The wild beasts were almost hunted out by the alien races. Birds were quite numerous; after all, they were too small to provide much meat and were very clever.

Baha was always scouting in the sky, looking for any human forces that might appear. Unfortunately, after walking so far, he didn't even see a human figure.

On the wasteland, a few trees that grew somewhat crookedly grew abruptly on the wasteland. Amu took materials on the spot, using these few trees to build a grass shed, preparing to take shelter from the rain in this grass shed tonight.

Half an hour later, Su Xiao sat in the grass shed, watching the rain curtain falling a few meters away, pondering the situation on Xis Star.

The toad's progress was unknown. The Crawling Spirit was the key to seizing the World Core. Su Xiao didn't know the specific function of this thing yet, only having a rough guess.

The Holy Light Paradise side and the Death Paradise side had been completely cleared out, and the Cult side was also wiped out. However, for these god-stickers, Su Xiao always maintained a vigilant attitude.

Even if these god-stickers summoned gods or evil gods before they died, it wasn't worth being surprised. If they summoned ancient gods, that would be even better, provided they weren't Tier 7. Su Xiao wasn't an opponent of Tier 7 ancient gods yet. He was sure of this. Ancient gods were basically the strongest echelon. They were a bit ugly, but they were all very strong, had no nonsense during battle, and didn't beg for mercy before dying.

The Apocalypse Paradise side should be quite miserable. Their base camp had retreated. What the angry alien army would do, only God knew. Crimson · Tasha was indeed educated very miserably by Su Xiao, but against the contractors of Apocalypse Paradise, she could regain the majesty of a big boss. Blade Technique · Blood Kiss was a tank killer.

Su Xiao had experienced a World Conquest War to this extent for the first time. In the past, it was always competing for the World Core with contractors from other paradises. This time, the enemy was replaced by aliens.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao opened the mission list to check the second war mission.

【War Mission 2: World Core】

Difficulty Level: Lv. 61

Mission Introduction: Obtain the World Core.

Mission Information: Need to obtain the Crawling Spirit first before executing this mission.

Mission Deadline: 12 natural days

Mission Reward: Will be adjudicated based on combat contribution, minimum reward is Golden Skill Point x1.

Mission Penalty: Forced execution.

Prompt: If our side does not obtain the Crawling Spirit, the Hunter needs to compete for it within this world.

Prompt: If our side does not obtain the Crawling Spirit, leading to mission failure, the mission failure penalty will be changed to: merit settlement reward is only 20%.

Prompt: Based on comprehensive judgment of war contribution, combat power, merit points obtained, etc., after the exploration team obtains the Crawling Spirit, the Crawling Spirit will be teleported within 1 meter of the Hunter. If the Crawling Spirit is obtained, the Hunter needs to properly keep and use it.

Su Xiao now had 4,076 merit points, and no one on their side was higher than him. Plus his actions of killing enemies, covering the retreat, etc., allowed him to obtain the custody of the Crawling Spirit, provided he could obtain this thing.

At the moment, whether the exploration team could seize the Crawling Spirit was the key. If they couldn't seize it, it was unclear what would happen to the three members of the exploration team, but Su Xiao wouldn't be forcibly executed.

If the exploration team on their side didn't obtain the Crawling Spirit and the final competition for the World Core failed, the contractors on their side on the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent wouldn't be forcibly executed, but the merit rewards would be significantly reduced, and they could only obtain 20%.

What kind of concept was this? Su Xiao now had 4,076 merit points and could only obtain the reward after settling 815 merit points.

Failure on the Xis Star side didn't mean Su Xiao had no possibility of seizing the Crawling Spirit at all. The Crawling Spirit would definitely be sent to this world. When the time came, he could just grab it, it was just very difficult to grab.

The previous return opportunity was because their side obtained 9 space-time force condensates, and also because of the existence of the Crawling Spirit. Because of this somewhat uncontrollable failure, Reincarnation Paradise gave a chance—a chance to return with only 70% merit rewards.

Staying behind was equivalent to wanting to impact the 120% merit settlement reward. The benefits were high, but one also had to bear the risks.

If the toad succeeded in obtaining the Crawling Spirit, Su Xiao's war mission would fail, and the penalty would be forced execution.

Su Xiao's next itinerary was very clear: continue south, go deep into this continent, and try to find the location of the alien far rear, trying to see if he could encounter human forces along the way.

Planning these, Su Xiao lay in the grass shed to take a nap. He was still injured and needed to rest.

Amidst the rustling rain, Su Xiao gradually fell asleep.

Suddenly, Su Xiao felt a strange dragging sensation. This feeling was somewhat familiar.

"Wake up, powerful human, wake up. We need your help, please."

The calling sound appeared in Su Xiao's ear. His eyes opened suddenly, and white petals drifted past his eyes.

On the flower sea, a woman wearing a white dress with a very holy aura floated in front of Su Xiao. This woman was so holy that she was like a goddess.

Su Xiao subconsciously pressed his hand toward the hilt of the sword at his waist, but pressed into empty air. He immediately realized that this was a dream.

After this thought appeared, Su Xiao felt puzzled. Even the Nightmare Ancient God · Nijadi hadn't dragged him into a dream, but this woman with a holy aura had succeeded at this moment.

"Think carefully, why did you appear here? You will think of it. Empty your mind, let..."

The Holy Goddess's words stopped halfway. The reason was that Su Xiao pinched her neck and dragged her down from the floating state.

"Mental resonance using an item as a medium, huh."

Su Xiao exerted force with his hand, and the 'Holy Goddess' he grabbed by the neck suddenly turned into a cloud of mist.

Su Xiao's eyes opened. He was still lying in the wooden shed. Beside him, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's hind legs were raised high, and its sleeping posture was very unique.

"Xiang Bubu."

Su Xiao pushed Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was looking for a toilet in its dream, woke up in shock. It had found the toilet in its dream and was preparing to pee happily.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang ran to the wilderness in the darkness to nourish nature.

An alien had dragged Su Xiao into a dream—no, it should be that it took advantage of his sleep to invade his dream. Unfortunately, Su Xiao ignored mental control, so the alien could only confuse Su Xiao step by step, which was why it was so polite.

Su Xiao began to check the packages Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu brought. These two packages contained items that couldn't be stored in the storage space or couldn't be brought out of this world.

Soon, Su Xiao found a black meat ball. This thing was beating like a heart. It was an item obtained after killing Poison Claw.

Su Xiao picked up the black meat ball. Just as he was about to crush it to see the structure inside, he perceived that a strand of mental power was trapped inside.

"Amu, time for a midnight snack."

Su Xiao threw the black meat ball to Amu. Amu, who was a bit confused, opened his mouth and was about to throw it into his mouth.

"Roast it."

"Moo?"

Amu scratched his head and went to make a fire.

"I have no malice, please don't treat me like this, even if I am an alien."

A voice converted from mental power fluctuations came from inside the black meat ball. Su Xiao didn't speak, and Amu skillfully made a fire and began to roast the black meat ball.

"Okay, I admit, resonating with your mental power without consent is very impolite, but I really have no malice. Your mental power is powerful to the point of being unbelievable, and you are also carrying a 'King Heart'."

Su Xiao still didn't speak. This Holy Goddess belonged to the type that was easy to interrogate. Su Xiao was sure she wasn't from the alien side. Even if she was an alien, aliens weren't this cowardly.

The fire roasted the black meat ball, and the 'Holy Goddess' trapped inside began to panic a bit. She felt these people weren't joking, but were really going to roast her.

"I come from the Bathing Light Mission Field. We are about to face destruction. Please rest assured, we don't believe in gods. Our doctrine is continuation—continuation of humans, not being exterminated by aliens. Although as a half-alien, saying this is not worth trusting, the fact is just like this."

Under helplessness, the 'Holy Goddess' explained her origin.

"Bathing Light Mission Field?"

"We are in the center of the continent, the area with the most aliens. A few days ago, the aliens suddenly united. Their internal conflicts disappeared, very suddenly disappeared. We lost our last chance. Now, counting me, there are no more than ten people alive in the Bathing Light Mission Field. The warriors of Bathing Light City are all dead, but the Bathing Light Mission Field is very safe."

Hearing this sentence from the 'Holy Goddess', a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face.

"Where is the Bathing Light Mission Field?"

Su Xiao felt it was a good place, located near the alien base camp and safe enough, provided this 'Holy Goddess' wasn't lying.
