Chapter 2395

The council had not yet ended, but Su Xiao had already walked out of the Council Hall. Councilor Frost Snake and Councilor Rose were better at handling the situation in Ango City, so during the council, neither Su Xiao nor the Leiman King spoke much.

Not being good at it doesn't matter; clearly not being good at it but still pointing fingers is very annoying.

Su Xiao's fourth ring of the mission is to ensure that Ango City is not destroyed within 10 natural days. Gelu leading the dry monsters to attack is a matter of time. At that time, it will be Su Xiao's home field.

The situation has developed to this degree, catching the thief first catching the king is already impossible. Gelu is not the kind of big villain boss who likes to show off; he has been hiding in the dark from beginning to end.

When the plan was interrupted, Gelu did not get angry, but silenced all the chess pieces, immediately left Ango City, went to the Dongze Kingdom thousands of miles away, and started the 'Kingdom Destruction Plan'.

Gelu has always firmly believed in one point: since Su Xiao has the ability to see through his plan, he also has the ability to slaughter him. A weak alchemical master would not be so difficult to deal with.

Facing this kind of old schemer who can endure, Su Xiao temporarily has no good way. Gelu's plan has already unfolded. Wanting to drag the other party out again, unless he figures out how the other party destroyed the four kingdoms, and what the other party's reliance is.

The night sky was in the sky, and Ango City finally became quiet. The people of the Council Hall had already prepared to open the entrance to the underground city. At that time, the civilians would all retreat into the underground city, and the soldiers would remain in Ango City, using this city as a stationing point to clear the surroundings. First, they must set up numerous sentry towers. Once monsters attack, immediately assemble soldiers and build an offensive battle line.

Ango City is not suitable for defending; the underground city below is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But retreating into the underground city entirely means abandoning the resources on the surface.

Once the three entrances to the underground city are sealed, the underground city is a small world, an incomparably chaotic small world. At that time, the number of civilians will decrease until resource supply is formed in the underground city, and the number of people is reduced to a certain degree before it can barely stabilize.

This is a contingency plan that will only be activated as a last resort. At least before more than 80% of the soldiers die, this plan will not be activated.

Councilor Frost Snake and Councilor Rose have already drafted this contingency plan. After the entire line collapses, this plan will be activated. This is the way of thinking of those in power: let the people below see the best future, and secretly prepare the coldest and most reasonable contingency plan. As long as they don't all die, there will always be hope.

Su Xiao is not very interested in the underground city and the collapse contingency plan. He is only responsible for two things: after the dry monsters attack near Ango City, kill, and find clues to a certain 'secret place'.

Su Xiao does not have the idea of saving the world or anything like that. He is not that noble, or rather, he hasn't accelerated the destruction of this world, which is already quite unexpected.

Su Xiao's purpose is very simple: kill Gelu. As for the rest, it's not his business.

"How come Ango City feels a bit different, dead and silent."

Puri, who was walking behind Su Xiao, muttered. Hearing this sentence, Su Xiao stopped his steps.

"How is it different?"

"Eh?"

Puri looked at Su Xiao in confusion, raised his hand to rub the short beard on his chin, and then shook his head and said:

"Can't say clearly, in short, it just feels different, as if... this city is about to die."

"..."

Su Xiao narrowed his eyes, grabbed the wall beside him with one hand, and with a crack, he gouged out a piece of the wall. Applying force with his hand, he crushed the stone into fine slag, which slipped through his fingers.

"Xiang Bubu."

"Woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang immediately merged into the environment, and a few seconds later, he detached, having not discovered any abnormalities.

Su Xiao is certain that Ango City is undergoing changes. Neither he nor Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang discovered this point, and Azaz, who is very strong, also didn't discover it.

But Puri, who is only slightly stronger than an ordinary person, felt that it was abnormal. This shows one thing: the change in Ango City is very small and hidden, and it cannot affect Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, but it can affect Puri.

"Freezing to death, it's already spring and it's still so cold, this ghostly weather."

Puri tightened his collar, sniffed his nose, and walked quickly toward the direction of his home.

Even at night, the weather in early spring shouldn't be so cold. This change in temperature started a few seconds ago.

This change makes Su Xiao think that the Ancient God has already started 'sucking' this world. No, 'sucking' wouldn't cause such fast destruction. This is assimilation. Ango City is gradually being assimilated. The environment here has been mixed with the energy of the Ancient God.

Determining this point, Su Xiao quickened his pace. If this situation continues, there is no need for dry monsters to attack; Ango City will turn into a dead city within a few days. He wants to burn the Soul Ash tonight, open the gap, and see what is on the other side of the gap.

Traveling quickly all the way, Su Xiao returned to the two-story small building. Azaz's old friend never showed up, and it is unknown in what way he is protecting the Holy Realm councilor.

In the bedroom on the second floor of the small building, all the furniture here had been moved away, and many alchemical instruments were placed. This place had clearly been transformed by Su Xiao into an alchemical laboratory. Due to insufficient funds, some instruments had not yet been obtained.

Even if the situation has reached the current degree, the Council Hall is still stabilizing the purchasing power of the gold pound. The collapse of the monetary system is a painful blow to Ango City.

Puri, as the son of a councilor, is of course very wealthy. Su Xiao and Puri are cooperating. Puri is not a character like a little brother, so of course, he won't hand over his assets. The position of councilor is only temporarily shared. Su Xiao, Puri, and Azaz could all be acting councilors.

Sitting in front of the test bench, Su Xiao pulled down the 【Soul Lock Lamp】 hanging from his waist. Inside this ornament the length of a thumb, transparent crystal fragments were floating.

Su Xiao released five soul crystal fragments from the 【Soul Lock Lamp】, tossed them into his mouth, and chewed them slowly. The taste was crisp.

Every time he enters a new world, Su Xiao will eat a certain amount of soul crystal fragments to permanently increase his soul strength with the Soul Eater talent.

Picking up a small glass bottle on the test bench, he poured the Soul Ash inside into a circular metal tray, took out a specially made match, struck it, and tossed it into the metal tray.

With a whoosh, the Soul Ash was ignited, but in the next moment, the orange-red flame extinguished.

Su Xiao's eyes showed confusion. He had just ignited the Soul Ash, and it extinguished instantly, not causing Light and Dark to 'collide' in advance, thereby opening the gap.

Assuming the process of igniting Soul Ash is compared to opening a 'door', then at the very least, one must ensure the location of the 'door'; otherwise, even if one has the strength to push open this 'door', it is empty talk.

"Door."

Su Xiao pondered in his mind, considering everything related to Soul Ash. Soon, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.

The appearance of Soul Ash is because Tieya Muluo and the female contractor died of 'Energy Decay', and now, there is one person who is also being decayed and has not yet died. Then, can this person be used as a coordinate? Use the other party's hair, blood, etc., as a medium to ignite the Soul Ash.

This is Su Xiao's hypothesis. Whether it can succeed, he himself is unclear, but it is worth trying.

Picking up a few white hairs on the test bench, Su Xiao placed these white hairs on the Soul Ash. This is the old councilor's hair.

Igniting the Soul Ash again, with a whoosh, an orange-red smokeless flame rose. Just for an instant, the room became gray and defeated, and chaotic murmurs appeared beside Su Xiao's ears. His eyes lost focus.

"Suo Suo Ge Le..."

"Misfortune, ash, everything turns to ash."

"Don't go wake it up, it is wailing, it is resentful, it died before it was even born..."

Among the murmurs, some were anger, some were wailing, and some were hysterical.

With a boom, blood energy surged around Su Xiao, and the surroundings became quiet. Facing these mysterious and eerie voices, being more ferocious than them is enough. No need to fear; the more fear in the heart, the more rampant they will be.

Su Xiao's eyes regained their luster, and a faint musty smell drifted into his nasal cavity. He looked around; the room he was in was dilapidated, as if no one had lived there for hundreds of years, and spider webs had formed in the corners of the walls.

A knock on the door entered his ears, and Su Xiao's hand pressed on the hilt of his blade.

"Bai Ye, what's going on in your room? What are you doing? It's too exaggerated."

Outside the door was Azaz, ready to break in at any time.

Su Xiao looked at a crack on the wall. This crack was about half a meter wide, and inside it was pitch black. This was not pure darkness; it was slowly surging.

Stepping to the crack, Su Xiao tossed a test tube into the crack. The test tube was swallowed by the surging darkness, and no corrosion phenomenon appeared.

Su Xiao prepared to go in and take a look. This is the 'gap' in the mission prompt. The ultimate goal of the fourth ring of the Main Mission is to open the 'gap'. From this, it can be seen that it is not a situation of ten deaths and no life inside.
