Chapter 2429
Roars came from everywhere. The monsters in Doom Town were making their final struggle. After losing the Archbishop and the Orphan of Resentment to stabilize the Old God's power, the Old God's power appeared to dissipate slowly. It might take decades or even hundreds of years to dissipate completely, which had nothing to do with Su Xiao.
The Ghost Snake Sisters' territory was on the east side of Doom Town. The water vapor there was very heavy, and monsters in Doom Town were rare.
Su Xiao's pace was not fast. After marching for more than half an hour, he arrived at the east side of Doom Town. The buildings here were covered with black moss. The moss was saturated with water, and when pressed, water droplets would seep out.
Compared to the territories of Resentment and Qisi, the east side of Doom Town was somewhat eerie, which made Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang nervous. It kept hiding behind Su Xiao. Although it was scared to death, it couldn't help but look around, just like it was clearly afraid of ghosts but couldn't help its curiosity, often watching horror movies put on by Benny, and then being scared to the point of doubting its dog life.
It was strange to say, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang wasn't even afraid of Old Gods, but was actually afraid of vengeful spirits.
Walking on the damp street, Su Xiao tried to sense the surroundings. A moment later, he opened his eyes. Before the Old God's power completely dissipated, large-scale sensing was impossible.
"Amu, Baha, you are responsible for the left area. Xiang Bubu, you are responsible for the right."
As Su Xiao spoke, he took out a metal tube from his storage space. After tearing it open, hundreds of mechanical bees flew out, scattering in all directions.
The most troublesome situation appeared. Su Xiao was not worried about how strong the Ghost Snake Sisters' abilities were; the situation he was most worried about was the Ghost Snake Sisters hiding.
Su Xiao took out a tablet computer. The screen was divided into hundreds of grids, each of which was an image fed back by a mechanical bee.
At the same time, somewhere on the east side of Doom Town, it was pitch black here, with the sound of dripping water, and a glimmer of light shone from above.
"Sister, they have found us. I, I am a little scared."
"With me here, don't be afraid. At worst, we'll fight them. We can win, probably... we can win."
"Why are they looking for us? We haven't done anything bad."
"They don't care about these. I can feel that the Bishop, Qisi, and Resentment are all dead. Only we are left. They want to kill everyone in Doom Town. Those are guys who are more terrifying than Old Gods. They are... God Hunting."
"!"
The younger sister among the Ghost Snake Sisters widened her eyes. She couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying humans would dare to hunt gods. This sounded absurd.
A green light drifted over. Seeing this green light, the Ghost Snake Sisters' pupils shrank, and they turned and fled.
Half a minute later.
Thud!
A loud noise came from above, and a large amount of rubble fell. Su Xiao landed in a very shallow underground river. He squatted down, dipped his finger in some water stains, and blue light surged in his eyes.
There was Old God power in the water, with dark characteristics, or rather, gloom.
Mechanical bees flew into the underground space. Under Su Xiao's control, hundreds of mechanical bees flew past him, tracking along the direction of the underground river.
"Woof."
"Really can run. Baha, go to the wooden house outside the town to open a gap and let Benny come to Doom Town."
"Understood."
Baha flew away. The Ghost Snake Sisters were quite good at hiding and escaping. Catching them was not a simple matter.
Searching for nearly three hours, Su Xiao did not find the traces of the Ghost Snake Sisters again. Fortunately, Benny had arrived.
After the Ghost Snake Sisters were startled, the range of their hiding was not just the east side of Doom Town; they might have fled to any corner of Doom Town.
Five hours later, Su Xiao's team had almost turned Doom Town upside down. Only Tier 7 monsters were left here, and avoiding these strange-looking monsters was not too difficult.
Finally, six hours later, Su Xiao found the traces of the Ghost Snake Sisters. Through encirclement, he blocked them in the Orphan of Resentment's lair.
In a large auditorium with cracked walls, the Ghost Snake Sisters were hiding in the innermost part. Around them were hundreds of mechanical bees.
Click, click, click...
The sound of footsteps stepping on weathered stones came. Under the nervous gaze of the Ghost Snake Sisters, a man with a long blade hanging from his waist walked over.
"You still found us."
The older sister among the Ghost Snake Sisters spoke. Her gaze was fierce, expressing the term "fierce outside but weak inside" to the fullest.
"You guys... run a fart!"
Baha was angry. They had played "hide and seek" for nearly the whole morning, and finally caught them.
"If you guys didn't want to kill us, who would want to run!"
The younger sister among the Ghost Snake Sisters was extremely aggrieved. She and her sister were resting at home when disaster struck from the sky. That terrifying human who had almost slaughtered all the strong people in Doom Town had come. This refreshed her worldview. Humans were actually so powerful and terrifying. Weren't humans supposed to be weak, just numerous?
The Ghost Snake Sisters were not individual entities. They had a snake body of more than ten meters, and above it were two human upper bodies. The body on the left was the younger sister, and the right was the older sister.
"Temple Secret Pattern, bring it here."
"Wha, what?"
The Ghost Snake Sisters were both stunned. After looking at each other, the younger sister took off her earring, which had a spiral-shaped mark on it. This was the Temple Secret Pattern.
The Ghost Snake Sisters didn't hesitate at all and threw the earring out. Compared to their lives, the Temple Secret Pattern was nothing at all.
"Boss, killing these two, although there is a risk, we should also beat them up."
The reason Baha said this was because the Ghost Snake Sisters were the only remaining seedlings in Doom Town. After killing them, Doom Town might undergo two changes.
1. The Old God's power accelerates dissipation.
2. The balance of the Old God's power is broken, and all monsters in Doom Town rapidly absorb the Old God's power, leading to an average of Tier 7 small bosses.
"Waste of time."
Su Xiao walked out of the auditorium. With the Temple Secret Pattern, the subsequent things would be simple.
Watching Su Xiao's team walk out of the auditorium, the Ghost Snake Sisters were already dumbfounded. If they had known it would be like this, they wouldn't have run.
Su Xiao had seen many tyrannical big bosses. There were really not many as Buddhist-like as the Ghost Snake Sisters.
Su Xiao walked from the west side of Doom Town to the rear. That was the Dark Mist Area.
The journey was very smooth. This was the benefit of slaughtering all the strong enemies. The mission process was done in one go.
Arriving at the rear area of Doom Town, black mist shrouded this place. The consumption of the Light-Dark Amulet increased sharply. Originally, it was 10 Soul Coins for 24 hours. After entering the Dark Mist Area, it consumed 10 Soul Coins for charging every hour.
A stone road led to the depths of the Dark Mist Area. After walking along the stone road for more than ten minutes, a tall giant door appeared in front.
Su Xiao took out the Temple Secret Pattern. With a click, the earring engraved with the Temple Secret Pattern was adsorbed into the groove of the giant door, and the giant door slowly opened.
There was no black mist in front, but a large hall. A fur carpet was laid in the hall, and the fur was stained red with blood. On both sides were raised fire basins, which had already been extinguished.
Along the carpet, Su Xiao walked into the temple. At the innermost part of the temple, a pitch-black figure sat on the ground. Its height was about four meters, and tentacles hung down from its arms. This was the shell of the Old God.
【The Hunter has arrived at the temple.】
【You have defeated the Orphan of Resentment. After burning the Old God's shell, you can complete the 150-point attribute barrier assessment.】
Su Xiao had just taken out a test tube when, at this moment, the Old God's shell moved. It slowly raised its arm, and the tentacles on its arm twisted.
With a slap, the test tube was thrown onto the Old God's shell. Although the Old God was dead, after so many years, its shell could actually still move.
Flames burned. Ordinary flames, of course, couldn't burn this shell, but it was different under the blessing of Reincarnation Paradise.
The Old God's shell was burning fiercely. A giant stone fell from above the temple and smashed to the ground with a bang. Su Xiao walked toward the outside of the temple.
When he walked to the temple door, Su Xiao tilted his head and looked backward. The Old God's shell stood up and was staggering forward.
"Die honestly here, die with a bit of dignity."
D · Assassination appeared in Su Xiao's hand. Several shots were fired in succession, shattering the Old God's shell that had already been burned into charcoal.
"Great... it is you who won... Bai Ye, worthy of being... the one who defeated me."
With a slap, the Old God's shell fell to the ground, sparks splashed, and it rapidly turned into ashes and drifted away.
The Old God had long since died. What was imprisoned in this shell was Gru's soul. He had been deceived by the Archbishop. After his body died, his consciousness had been imprisoned in this Old God's shell, gradually being gestated into bait, so there was no reward for solving him. Gru had nearly lost everything.
Compared to being reduced to bait, Gru was more willing to die in the hands of a strong enemy. At least this way, he died with dignity.
【The Hunter has completed the 150-point attribute barrier assessment.】
【Yes/No to return to Reincarnation Paradise immediately? The remaining mission time will cause a certain degree of improvement in the comprehensive score.】
Su Xiao chose not to return. The Black King bracer hadn't been forged yet, but he was very curious about what the reward for 150 points of attributes was.
Returning to the Redemption Church, the Blacksmith was still guarding the furnace covered in hot sweat, while Su Xiao took out a tablet computer and sat on the steps to play puzzle games.
Pale golden hair hung down. It was the Saintess poking her head to look. Su Xiao pushed the Saintess's head away; her hair was blocking his view.
With puzzle games to pass the time, the waiting time was not long. After more than ten hours, the reforging was complete.
The Black King set only had one bracer left, and the other two pieces were smelted. The three-piece set aggregated into one, and it also had set attributes, which was already a kind of buff.
The Black King bracer was still scorching hot, and the surface was wrapped in a black crystal layer. Looking at the appearance, these black crystal layers would fall off soon. After checking, the hint informed him that the equipment quality was still improving, and the attributes would be visible after 1 hour and 24 minutes.
This meant the Black King bracer reforging was successful. Su Xiao had completed everything, and it was time to leave this world.
Su Xiao walked toward the outside of the church. Seeing this scene, the Saintess's lips opened and closed, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
Sunlight shone down from the sky. Su Xiao looked at the somewhat dazzling sun, and his body was gradually becoming transparent.
【About to return to Reincarnation Paradise, teleportation has been activated.】
