Chapter 2415
The town residents on Repentance Street had no breath left, kneeling there as if dead. They knelt in neat rows of over ten. Su Xiao walked through the gaps between the town residents.
Omen Town wasn't as big as imagined. The front-middle area was already full of dangers. As for the rear area, that was an area severely eroded by Ancient God power. Entering there, the Light-Dark Amulet needed to be charged once an hour.
Just after walking over ten meters, Su Xiao heard a crisp 'Click'. He immediately stopped and looked at the source.
That was a town resident kneeling on the ground. He tilted his head slightly, and those turbid, brownish-yellow eyes were looking over.
The town resident let out a hoarse low roar, which triggered a chain reaction. All the other town residents suddenly lifted their upper bodies and let out low roars.
Just when Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha were ready for battle, all the town residents on the street swung their short iron whips, whipped their ragged backs twice, and then knelt back down on the ground.
*Clang, clang, clang~*
The ancient bell tower in the center of the town rang. Seeing this, Baha lowered its wings, which it had already spread. It had thought a fight was about to break out; who knew these town residents just roared a few times and then fell silent again.
Su Xiao continued forward. These town residents were somewhat similar to plants; as long as you didn't actively touch them, there wouldn't be any accidents.
Passing through Repentance Street without any danger, a high wall appeared a kilometer away. That was the place the Saintess had mentioned.
Speeding up, Su Xiao hid beside a stone building not long after. On the street, which wasn't wide, a group of town residents carrying various weapons walked by. Through investigation, Su Xiao learned that these were Frenzied Residents. As long as you got within a certain range of them, they would swarm up and fight to the death.
Frenzied Residents were very troublesome. Their average combat power was at the Seventh Tier, and they would explode after death, causing fire-type erosion damage within a 70-meter range, with an attack intensity as high as 2300~2700 points.
This fire-type erosion damage wasn't much if endured once, but once endured multiple times within a few minutes, the erosion intensity would accumulate. After accumulating five or six times, the self-destruction of the Frenzied Residents before death could cause a maximum of about 5200 points of fire-type erosion damage at once.
A few Frenzied Residents were easy to deal with, but once the number exceeded 50, one had to be cautious. If it exceeded 100, retreat immediately. This scale of Frenzied Residents was harder to deal with than the Immortal Man when they really started fighting.
Su Xiao's goal was exploration + obtaining the Ash Furnace; he didn't plan to clear out the Frenzied Residents for the time being, unless there was good terrain.
These dozen or so Frenzied Residents didn't have very nimble legs, limping as they walked. Don't be misled by their current appearance; once the fight started, their speed wouldn't be slow.
After waiting for a few minutes, the group of Frenzied Residents walked away, and Su Xiao continued toward the high wall.
After avoiding six groups of Frenzied Residents, Su Xiao arrived near the high wall. Along the way, besides Frenzied Residents, he also saw other forms of monsters: tree giants over seven or eight meters tall covered in spikes, gray-skinned hounds that looked like wild dogs but had two heads, and Frenzied Residents carrying huge iron baskets and transporting black stones.
The high wall ahead was over ten meters tall, square, and enclosed an area. The short Kiserlman was on the high wall.
The gate of the high wall had long since rusted shut. Su Xiao climbed the high wall with his bare hands, his movements very light.
After successfully climbing the high wall, Su Xiao discovered that this high wall was six or seven meters wide. Enclosed by the four high walls, the square area in the center was pitch black, like a square pit.
Following the high wall, Su Xiao found a wooden chair. Around the wooden chair were scattered shards of wine bottles and a skeleton of a lower body.
Compared to an ordinary person, this lower body skeleton was much shorter. The short Kiserlman should be here. He was the Furnace Guardian and couldn't leave this place even in death; this was the final order given to him by the Redemption Church, unless he had an accident.
Su Xiao looked at the darkness enclosed by the high wall, pondered for a moment, and threw the pure gold pocket watch into the darkness.
With a 'Plop!', the pocket watch was caught by some hard object. The darkness between the high walls surged and gradually dissipated.
"In the Saintess's eyes? Kiserlman is a shorty?"
After Baha saw the scene inside the high wall, it directly spread its wings and flew toward the high sky.
After the darkness dissipated, a huge skeleton appeared inside the high wall. It only had its upper body left, its ribs clearly visible, and its arm bones were over a meter thick. On its house-sized skull, there was a hole.
*Rumble~*
The giant skeleton stood up from inside the high wall using its arms as support. It slowly raised its hand, looking at the pocket watch on its finger bones, the pitch-black pupil flames burning like fire.
The giant skeleton was over 20 meters tall, and this was even without its lower body.
On the high wall, Su Xiao glanced at the lower body skeleton beside his feet. That giant skeleton should be the short Kiserlman.
A pitch-black circle was inside the giant skeleton's ribs, and bright red muscles were attached around the sphere, making this pitch-black circle pulse like a heart.
"Woof!"
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked and jumped off the high wall. Before coming, it had guaranteed that it would definitely be able to reach an agreement with the short Kiserlman, after all, its Charm attribute was very high. Now it seemed that Charm interaction was useless, and force interaction was more reliable.
The giant skeleton's hand bones clenched, and the pocket watch was crushed into slag. It turned its skull to look at Su Xiao. At the next moment, the giant skeleton suddenly raised its arm and smashed down with a fist.
*Boom! * Gravel splashed everywhere, and the high wall was smashed into a gap.
Amidst the splashing gravel, Su Xiao leaped into mid-air holding his blade. These four square high walls must not be completely destroyed; this was his foothold. The giant skeleton was too huge, and its vital points should be the skull and the pitch-black circle inside the ribs.
Su Xiao just stepped onto the high wall and started running quickly. Hard fighting was seeking death; the enemy was originally a Seventh Tier boss, plus the size difference and strength difference, the winning rate of a hard clash was below 5%.
*Clang~*
The long blade rang crisply. Su Xiao slashed out a blade glow while running. The blade glow slashed onto the giant skeleton's skull, bone fragments splashing everywhere, but it failed to slash through, only injuring the surface.
A whistling wind attacked from above. Su Xiao's perception was fully open. He leaped sideways, and a bone giant arm nearly twenty meters long smashed down.
*Thud. *
The high wall was smashed into a large gap. Su Xiao took advantage of the moment the bone giant arm paused, leaped up, and ran quickly along this bone giant arm toward the giant skeleton's skull.
"Blade Dao Blade · Blue Ghost."
A blue blade glow left the blade. With a 'Clatter!', the giant skeleton tilted its skull back, and large pieces of shattered bone splashed everywhere.
"Roar!"
The giant skeleton roared, layers of light black air waves spreading. Su Xiao's ears buzzed, his whole body weak, and he fell from the bone giant arm.
A skeleton giant hand grabbed over. A white blurred shadow flashed, grabbing Su Xiao, who was falling.
"Blade Dao Blade · Absolute Shadow."
A blue shimmer spread within the seams of the giant skeleton's palm.
*Ding, ding, ding. *
After three crisp slashing sounds, the giant skeleton's palm shattered with a 'Clatter!'.
*Sizzle~*
The Boundary Breaking Line popped out, sinking into the giant skeleton's eye socket. Su Xiao pulled his arm, broke through a wave of air, and rushed toward the giant skeleton's eye socket.
Just at this moment, a short figure leaped out from the pupil flames of the eye socket. This person held a staff-blade and stabbed toward Su Xiao.
Zhan Long Shan stabbed toward the short figure's skull, and the staff-blade stabbed toward Su Xiao's throat. Everything seemed to slow down at this moment.
