Chapter 2412

This sudden change was unexpected by anyone. In Su Xiao's perception, that little hand was neither dangerous nor dangerous to the extreme. The opponent had spatial ability, a very high-tier spatial ability.

That feeling was like a symbiont of good and evil—sometimes kind, sometimes extremely evil.

"Little birdie, so cute..."

"Damn!"

Just as Baha's voice fell, it was also squatting in the flower bed, face full of confusion. It looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang sideways, and beside them, a little hand was grabbing Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's tail.

"Little cow, so cute..."

"Moo?"

When Amu came to its senses, it was also squatting in the flower bed. A dog, a bird, and a cow were neatly arranged; only Su Xiao was missing. If Benny were here, it would be a family bucket.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao realized that the thing in the flower bed didn't have strong malice. The opponent's ability was somewhat unsolvable in Doom Town, but not scary.

"Big brother, so..."

*Zing~*

Su Xiao unsheathed Zhan Long Shan at his waist. The nursery rhyme stopped.

"Big brother, bad."

The voice in the flower bed sounded somewhat sulky. Then Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha were all flipped out of the flower bed, as if kicked.

The vines stretched out, helping Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha up. A bare root whipped and lashed at the pale little hand.

This plant big boss belonged to a relatively neutral type. That spatial ability belonged to it, while the owner of that pale little hand was a prankster who was bored every day in Doom Town. Finally seeing outsiders, it used the plant big boss's ability to say hello to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha.

The vines intertwined, forming three pointers, pointing to the three directions of the crossroads. Two of them were stained with light red liquid, while the one pointing to the inner side of Doom Town was emerald green.

"Where is the Redemption Church?"

Just as Su Xiao spoke, all the vines retracted into the soil. Gray mist drifted, and the plant big boss disappeared. That pale little hand also disappeared, and the light red liquid no longer flowed down in the fountain.

"Woof?"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang still had lingering fears; the ear-cutting nursery rhyme had scared it quite a bit.

"This is the final form of the Wood Clan. It's a species that appeared after the World Seed was eroded by the Ancient God power."

"Woof~"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang suddenly realized. It had been wondering how there could be such a gentle big boss in a hellhole like Doom Town. If it was spawned by the World Seed, then it wasn't strange. High-tier spatial ability was also a matter of course.

The plant big boss was related to the World Seed; there was nothing to explore in this regard. As for killing it for a treasure chest, don't even think about it. Once this thing entered a combat state, it might be even more fierce than the "Resentful Orphan."

Three forks in the road—left, right, or forward? This was a question worth pondering.

This place was the front half of Doom Town. The left side was very dry, with streets and buildings cracked; the right side was humid, with a faint water vapor.

Having just fought the Immortal One, neither left nor right was a very good choice. There should be strong enemies on both sides.

In a place as big as Doom Town, strong enemies were everywhere, and there were many opportunities to fish for benefits.

The consumption of the Light-Dark Amulet couldn't be ignored. It needed to be recharged every 24 hours, costing 10 Soul Coins each time. Su Xiao's team consumed 40 Soul Coins every day. If the daily income was lower than this number, it would be a loss.

Following the crossroads, Su Xiao chose the street ahead. The buildings ahead were denser, and the sky was gray, making it impossible to distinguish between night and day. Both the moon and the sun were hanging in the sky, neither emitting much light. Coupled with the thin mist drifting above, one could only vaguely see the buildings in the distance. Those looming tall buildings were like monsters crouching in Doom Town.

The street became much narrower. After Su Xiao walked forward for several hundred meters, he didn't encounter any enemies. The town's residents didn't know where they had run off to, or rather, they were already dead.

*Creak~*

The sound of stepping on wooden boards came. Su Xiao looked toward the source, ready for battle.

"I have no ill intentions, outsider."

From a window sealed with wooden boards, a weak voice came. This was a resident of Doom Town.

"Come closer, outsider. I don't have much strength left. I didn't go to worship the god; I'm not one of those mindless monsters."

The weak man was behind the window. Su Xiao hesitated for a moment and stepped forward.

"Can you give me some water? I've forgotten how many years have passed. I'm very thirsty; my body feels like it's about to burn up."

The weak man's hand reached out from the gap at the bottom of the wooden boards. This was a bony hand, the palm covered in dry cracks, with faint sparks flickering inside, and the yellowing fingernails were full of dirt.

Su Xiao took out a bottle of water and poured it onto the cracked palm.

*Hiss, hiss~*

Water mist rose, the hand retracted, and then came the sound of licking.

"Ah~, the taste of water, it's been so long. You were able to walk here, you must have killed Arus Lake, right? That executioner is worthy of respect."

"The Immortal One?"

"Hmm, that's right. He later became the Immortal One. He was a pure warrior. The original him would unconditionally obey orders; he was the Redemption Church's killing machine. When he killed, he felt guilty. Conscience, honor, and mission were struggling in his heart."

The weak man sighed lowly and then spoke slowly:

"Since it was you who killed him, please remember, his name is Arus Lake, a pure warrior."

The voice behind the sealed window faded, and faint snoring came.

*Knock, knock, knock~*

Su Xiao knocked on the sealed window, and the weak man inside was startled awake.

"Are you an outsider? Please give me some water. I'm so thirsty I'm about to suffocate; my body feels like it's about to burn up."

The repeated words came from behind the sealed window. It was only a few seconds, and the weak man had forgotten the previous conversation.

"Where is the Redemption Church?"

"What a miser. Alright, I'll tell you. Walk into the town; it's not far. Pay attention to the golden mist above. Only the Redemption Church is a temporary residence for outsiders, provided you have the key. The key should be with Arus Lake. Don't go looking for him; he's very strong."

Snoring came from behind the sealed window again. Although these town residents hadn't turned into monsters, their consciousness was blurred. Once they fell into a deep sleep, they couldn't even remember what happened a few seconds ago.

Su Xiao poured the remaining water in the bottle onto the sealed window. The snoring inside stopped, and a very low sobbing sound came. Before long, it started chuckling lowly.

Su Xiao continued forward. This time he jumped onto the roof. Sure enough, on a spire church several hundred meters away, golden mist drifted out slowly.

Traveling between the buildings, Su Xiao arrived at a small square. The ground here was covered in bones. On the inner side of the small square, there were stone steps over ten meters wide, leading upward.

The stone steps were about several dozen meters long, with skeletons wearing armor scattered on them. A very intense battle had broken out here.

Walking past the stone steps, Su Xiao arrived in front of a giant metal door at a high place. The engraving on the left side of the door was a pitch-black sun, and on the right was a silver-white moon.

At a position one meter high on the metal door, there was a keyhole. Su Xiao inserted the key obtained from the Immortal One into it.

*Rumble~*

The two-sided metal door trembled and slowly opened inward. The door gap stopped at about two meters wide.

【Prompt: The Hunter has opened the Redemption Church. This is the only safe location in Doom Town.】

【The Hunter has successfully opened the Redemption Church. Except for your own contractors, other contractors cannot enter the Redemption Church.】

【Prompt: The Hunter has replaced Some Qiyuezhe No. 12059 to complete the main mission. You will receive their main mission rewards.】

Seeing this series of prompts, Su Xiao discovered that the female contractor on his side earlier was actually just there to open the door. The opponent's mission process should have been: solve the Immortal One, then open the Redemption Church door. That would count as the mission being successfully completed. After that, Su Xiao would take over. He had the rechargeable Light-Dark Amulet.

Su Xiao didn't think that he would have such good treatment for completing the 150-point barrier assessment. That is to say, before triggering the barrier assessment mission, the second-to-last ring of his main mission required helping Reincarnation Paradise snatch something.
