Chapter 2398

~8 min read 1,560 words

After successfully returning to the two-story small building in Ango City, Su Xiao felt a sense of relief. Entering Misfortune Town without carrying the Light-Dark Amulet would suffer the erosion of the Ancient God's power, causing pain all over the body, taking true damage while recovery power was suppressed.

Opening the gap by burning Soul Ash to enter Misfortune Town is not a desirable way. Observing the situation is okay, but wanting to explore Misfortune Town is simply impossible.

【Prompt: The Hunter has successfully left Misfortune Town, checking...】

【The Hunter has not suffered severe erosion from the Ancient God's power, and no permanent attribute reduction has been caused.】

【Because the Hunter has initially explored Misfortune Town, you have obtained the following information.】

【1. There are multiple Lord-level enemies in Misfortune Town.】

【2. After the Hunter arrives in the central area of Misfortune Town, you can activate the 'Ash Furnace' in the forge. The 'Ash Furnace' can perform equipment forging and has uniqueness (items appearing due to multiple coincidences, cannot be replicated, cannot be manifested).】

【3. The Ash Furnace needs to consume Starlight Iron to activate. It is estimated that more than 260 grams of Starlight Iron are needed. This furnace can also be used once.】

【4. The rear area of Misfortune Town is extremely dangerous. The Hunter needs to explore cautiously.】

【5. If the Hunter carries the 'Ash Furnace' and leaves this world, the 150-point attribute barrier assessment failure will have no penalty, and you will obtain normal world settlement gains.】

【6. If the Hunter uses the Ash Furnace to re-forge equipment, you need to prepare a large amount of equipment for extraordinary 'combustion assistance'. The forged equipment will obtain a unique characteristic.】

Seeing these prompts, Su Xiao verified the conjecture in his heart. The Ancient God in Misfortune Town is very abnormal. Secondly, the contractors who entered this world are highly likely aiming for the 'Ash Furnace'. Some are already dead, and the remaining ones haven't found a way to enter Misfortune Town.

The Ash Furnace is a unique thing in this world, located in the center of Misfortune Town. Its function is to re-forge equipment. Using it to re-forge requires paying a great price, using other equipment as fuel to perform re-forging.

Even if Su Xiao doesn't want to use the Ash Furnace, after obtaining this thing, he can rely on it to avoid the penalty for failing to break through the 150-point attribute barrier, and try again in the next world.

Based on the current situation, Su Xiao cannot enter Misfortune Town again temporarily. He must first put his energy into the fourth ring of the Main Mission. By completing the fourth ring mission, safely open the gap, and obtain the Light-Dark Amulet. In this way, he has the qualification to explore Misfortune Town.

The fourth ring mission is to ensure that Ango City is not destroyed within ten days. That is to say, for the next period of time, he will start fighting with Gelu.

Su Xiao pushed open the door of the bedroom and walked downstairs, with Puri following quickly.

Just after going down the stairs, Su Xiao saw two groups of people confronting each other. Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Azaz blocked the front of the stairs, while the other group prepared to forcibly rush up the stairs and reach the second floor.

This group of people was led by Councilor Rose. Except for Councilor Rose, the others were wearing scale armor, and everyone's aura was not weak. There were three men and two women in total.

"Councilor Rose, do you have something to find me for?"

Su Xiao walked down the stairs slowly, and wisps of black mist rose on his body. This is the surging darkness drifting away. This thing belongs to 'filler', separating Misfortune Town from other places. Otherwise, the four kingdoms and the Council Hall would have perished long ago, and even Emperor Okaz would not have been able to establish the Light-Dark Empire.

Light-Dark Empire, what a profound name. The minimum condition for opening the gap is the collision of Light and Dark. It can be determined that before establishing the Light-Dark Empire, Emperor Okaz had entered Misfortune Town.

"It's not a very important matter. A madman named Elvis Gelu is looking for you, and... that eye in the sky, it wouldn't be something you created, Kukulin Bai Ye."

Councilor Rose smiled like a flower, but what she said was very dangerous.

"Eye? What is different about today's night view?"

Su Xiao of course would not admit it. That eye is related to the Orphan of Resentment.

"Haven't seen it yet? That's really a pity."

Councilor Rose didn't bite this point, the giant eye in the sky had already disappeared and did not cause destructive results.

According to the narration of one of Councilor Rose's confidants, Elvis Gelu came to the door half an hour ago. A person like Gelu of course wouldn't come in person. He sent a dry monster with a strange shape and negotiated with the people of the Council Hall by controlling this monster.

This monster has been controlled. If there were secret art masters, they could consider tracking it. Now all secret art masters have been imprisoned. Having lost their secret patterns, they will only be more dangerous. The things they firmly believed in collapsed, and not many people can hold on.

The place where that special monster was imprisoned was not far from the two-story small building, in a high-end restaurant three blocks away.

At this moment, this restaurant has stopped business. Many civilians still cannot guarantee three meals a day. If this kind of high-end restaurant continues to open, it will soon be attacked.

After leaving the small building, Su Xiao discovered that there were many fewer tents on the street. This shows that the entrance to the underground city has been opened, and it did not let the civilians rush in all at once, but gradually evacuated them, sending them to the underground city in batches. There are many residences in the underground city.

After arriving at the high-end restaurant, several soldiers were guarding in front of the door. Seeing Councilor Rose, these soldiers immediately let them pass.

The tables and chairs in the restaurant were all moved away. In the entire building, a total of hundreds of soldiers were stationed to avoid any accidents.

The special monster was imprisoned in the basement. After entering the somewhat damp basement, Su Xiao saw an iron cage with a length and width of two meters. A dry monster with a large head was sitting in the iron cage. Several black and bright rocks were embedded on its head. Seeing these rocks, Su Xiao immediately thought of the high wall of Misfortune Town. These black stones highly likely came from Misfortune Town.

Su Xiao sat on a wooden chair opposite the iron cage. The Leiman King and a young girl were nearby. Councilor Frost Snake did not arrive, and a somewhat chubby man replaced him. This is the controller of the Chidorman Company, named Hefis, one of the richest people on the continent.

Just as Su Xiao sat down, the dry monster in the iron cage slowly opened its eyes, and those gray eyes looked at Su Xiao.

"What a pity, we meet in this way."

A somewhat hoarse voice came. Clearly, it is Gelu controlling this dry monster now.

"Did you bury the Bone Spider Caro? She is my most trusted subordinate."

Gelu smiled, neither caring about the death of Bone Spider Caro nor regretting it.

"Fed to Azaz's dog."

"Terrible, what kind of people are you all? Caro was a beauty when she was young, serving the Holy Realm councilor for more than ten years. At least you should give her a decent funeral."

"Elvis Gelu, don't say such disgusting words."

Councilor Rose spoke, and for the first time, a look of anger appeared on her face.

"The people you harmed to death are more than the stars in the sky."

"Councilor, there are hundreds of billions of stars in the sky. Forget it, you who have never seen a god cannot understand what I am saying. The world is bigger than you imagine, and also more dangerous than you imagine."

Gelu shook his head, not prepared to argue with Councilor Rose about the problem of gods.

"Bai Ye, my purpose is actually very simple, just to take back the secret patterns. In the many years of the past, I have thought of various ways, and finally discovered that people's greed has no end. Even gods will fear people's greed."

Speaking of this, Gelu paused for a moment and continued to say:

"My request is very simple. I have almost taken back all the secret patterns, but there is still a little thief who escaped the stripping of secret patterns. Hand him over to me, and I won't attack Ango City."

Gelu stared at Su Xiao, waiting for Su Xiao's reply.

Pfft.

Blood splashed, and the Fangzhu pierced the dry monster's head.

"This, is your answer? Understood."

With a thud, the dry monster fell into the iron cage and lost its sound.

"What are you doing? Kukulin!"

The Leiman King spoke through gritted teeth. Looking at that appearance, he was prepared to step forward and have a 'friendly' negotiation with Su Xiao.
