Chapter 2359

~8 min read 1,535 words

Light-Bathing Missionary Field, 3:00 PM.

This was already the fourth day after the start of the War Mission. Su Xiao spent the first two days traveling, and after arriving at the Light-Bathing Missionary Field, he began to manufacture the alchemy creature.

The light on the array faded and merged into a piece of parchment. Large blue patterns spread on the parchment, and the ground below softened, rippling with water waves.

This was caused by the alchemy creature. Because this guy didn't distinguish between friend and foe, Su Xiao sealed this alchemy creature in an alien space and summoned it during battle.

Su Xiao spent 7 hours manufacturing this alchemy creature, but sealing this guy consumed nearly 30 hours. This guy was very disobedient and tried many times to break through Su Xiao's restraints to come out and go on a killing spree.

Holding the parchment floating in mid-air, Su Xiao let out a long breath. The alchemy creature was not inside this; this parchment was more like a key, a key to open an alien space.

"You are already prepared to kill the Xenotype King? Every generation of Xenotype King is powerful enough to make people tremble. Except for the passage of time that can make them die of old age, no one has ever killed them."

A voice came from the dark doorway diagonally opposite. It was Beast King Tailde. Among the six people in the Light-Bathing Missionary Field, three were willing to assist Su Xiao. Tailde was one of them, and the other two were Dorothea and Wuzhong.

Dorothea's stance was clear: as long as it was against the Xenotypes, she was willing to assist.

Wuzhong was a very pure warrior. Other intelligence was unknown. One day he came to the Light-Bathing Missionary Field and had been living here ever since.

"No one has ever succeeded. The old king died of old age, the new king was sealed. Not a single generation of Xenotype King has died at the hands of an enemy, never."

Wuzhong sat in the darkness. He was naturally large-boned; even though he was now thin to the point of being skin and bone, he still looked very burly.

"Even if it's you, you can't break through that layer of things."

Beast King Tailde sighed low, and his aura seemed to weaken by a point. This was also a ruthless man who had assassinated the Xenotype King. Unlike the decaying man, Beast King Tailde had killed his way through lines of defense, and just as he was about to face the Xenotype King, he was blocked.

"Stay, accumulate strength with me, and then welcome victory, or die in battle together."

Beast King Tailde and Wuzhong were both looking at Su Xiao. At this moment, Su Xiao felt he was being stared at by the same person's gaze.

"Tailde, you were beaten into fear, only daring to hide here, even if you are..."

The triple hybrid's words stopped abruptly. Judging by the aura, among the six people in the Light-Bathing Missionary Field, she was indeed the strongest, but if she angered the Beast King and Wuzhong, it would be another matter.

Su Xiao had been watching from the sidelines and hadn't spoken. The situation in the Light-Bathing Missionary Field was much more complicated than it looked.

At first glance, Dorothea could represent the wishes of most people, but in fact, she was just a bystander. Except for the little girl who would listen to her, others didn't pay attention to her decisions at all.

The triple hybrid was the most irritable. She had been modified. Originally a human, Xenotype organs were implanted into her body. To ensure she didn't die, the modifiers replaced her original blood with Orc blood.

A human body, Xenotype organs, Orc blood—this was the triple hybrid, Shadow. She could merge herself into shadows or kill enemies through their shadows.

The triple hybrid Shadow couldn't control the enemy's shadow. Her ability was called 'Shadow Capture Death'. By entering the enemy's shadow, she caused the enemy's shadow to mutate. While the enemy's shadow mutated, it also caused the enemy's body to mutate, achieving the effect of killing the enemy.

If one didn't understand this ability, being hit was just a matter of an instant. Where there is light, there is shadow. If there is no light, Shadow's own combat power increases by at least 70%. Relying on her powerful modified body, she was enough to kill enemies.

Shadow was a very strong assassin, but she was a bit 'fair'. She hated both Xenotypes and humans.

Compared to Shadow, Beast King Tailde and Wuzhong were both big figures. From beginning to end, Su Xiao didn't think these were two people.

Beast King Tailde was an Orc, and Wuzhong was a human. Beast King Tailde only had a soul and didn't need to eat, while Wuzhong only had a body and was lifeless.

Xenotype + Human = Dorothea = Maid + Pendant.

So what is Orc + Human? The answer is sub-Orc. Sub-Orcs were not actually extinct. The last sub-Orc was in the Light-Bathing Missionary Field. His soul and body were separated to hide. His original name was unknown, and he had now changed his name to Wuzhong Tailde.

Beast King was the title of the soul, and Wuzhong was the title of the body. After the two merged again, it was the sub-Orc Wuzhong Tailde.

Wuzhong Tailde had been waiting. He brought the triple hybrid Shadow here, but Shadow didn't intend to help him deal with the Xenotypes at all, only wanting to see how this former human leader died.

Shadow came from a very extreme organization. The purpose of that organization was to destroy the magnetic field of the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent, leading to the stripping of the atmosphere, and all oxygen-breathing life would die as a result.

The belief of that organization was that since they were not the Xenotypes' opponents, then no one should have it easy. After the atmosphere was stripped, all oxygen-breathing life would die as a result; it was just a matter of time.

One can imagine how extreme Shadow, cultivated by such an organization, was.

As for the decaying man, he was once Tailde's subordinate. After Tailde failed, the decaying man ignored Tailde's orders and went to assassinate the Xenotype King, returning in defeat. He had been sitting in the passage at the entrance waiting for death. One reason was that he couldn't face Tailde, and more importantly, he was guarding someone.

Su Xiao obtained this intelligence while manufacturing the alchemy creature. Wuzhong Tailde was the true leader of the Light-Bathing Missionary Field, and Dorothea was only responsible for finding new members.

"Wuzhong Tailde."

Su Xiao put away the parchment in his hand and walked out of the doorway. He only had one chance to kill the Xenotype King and didn't have much time to gain Tailde's trust. In that case, he would talk directly. It would be best if Tailde was willing to assist, but if not, Su Xiao wouldn't waste any more time.

"Did you discover it?"

Tailde wasn't too surprised. He hid himself just because he didn't want to be discovered by the Xenotype King.

"The Xenotypes are going to leave the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent. If things go smoothly, they can complete the migration plan within a month."

"How is that possible? The number of Xenotypes is over a million."

Shadow clearly didn't believe it. Tailde didn't speak. He believed what Su Xiao said. The appetite of ground-dwelling species was terrifying. If things continued like this, they would eventually eat all living things, and then the number of Xenotypes would drop rapidly.

"It's best if they leave the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent."

Tailde's soul and body walked out of the adjacent doorway at the same time, overlapping as they moved forward. The sub-Orc rumored to be dead appeared.

Tailde wore a black bear-skin cloak inlaid with a large number of armor plates. Because the bear skin hadn't been groomed for too long, it had been eaten by insects, leaving holes. His height of nearly 2.5 meters made Tailde look very burly, but beneath his burly figure was a gaunt body.

"How did you find out?"

Tailde moved his fingers, making a harsh sound of bone friction. In fact, his body was already dead, and due to the existence of some artifact, his soul and body were forcibly merged together.

"Guessed."

"Pfft~"

Shadow couldn't help but laugh. She was actually very confused. Su Xiao had only been here for two days and hadn't communicated much with them. Under such circumstances, he actually learned Tailde's secret.

Tailde was obviously surprised, then turned and smiled stiffly.

"Shadow won't assist anyone. As for me, I originally did think about going to deal with the Xenotype King with you, but you just said that the Xenotypes will migrate out of this world within a month. I believe this."

Tailde's implication was obvious. He was already half-dead. Since the Xenotypes were willing to leave, he could just continue waiting.

"The Xenotypes' migration plan has been destroyed by me."

Su Xiao's words shattered the illusions of Dorothea and Tailde. Sometimes, surprises just come that suddenly.
