Chapter 2441: Run, There's a Sand Sculpture
There wasn't much information in the world introduction, only introducing the Sand Flame Kingdom and the Peru Kingdom. And the Holy Soul was a very interesting thing. Su Xiao judged based on the introduction that this was a unique way of cultivation.
By hunting and killing transcendent creatures, converting their souls into Holy Souls, and incorporating them into the body, one uses this as a foundation to communicate with natural elements. Through resonance with natural elements, one makes oneself stronger.
This way of cultivation was very stable and steady, but it had a limit. Resonating with natural elements was not devouring and manipulating elements, but a gentler process. Natural elements would also become stronger.
Su Xiao felt that if there were enough people cultivating Holy Souls, the tier of this world would sooner or later be promoted. At that time, the practitioners of Holy Souls would be able to break through the limit and reach a higher level.
Deserts everywhere, rampant slavery, the arena symbolizing honor, the young Sand Emperor, and the stunningly beautiful Queen by his side—this was the Sand Flame Kingdom.
Su Xiao looked at the yellow sand under his feet. In this world, there was currently only one Rule-Breaker. Not long after, three more Rule-Breakers would arrive. As for whether there were more, it was temporarily unknown.
"Prepare to set off. We're not far from Esaba."
"Finally arriving."
"The King of Tyrant Trees is about to be eaten up. I hope that when we arrive at Esaba, this batch of Peruvians can be sold for a good price. The beauties in Esaba are too hot... No, can't think about these yet."
The so-called King of Tyrant Trees was the cactus. This plant was planted in large quantities in the Sand Flame Kingdom. Because of its tenacious vitality and thorns, it was called the King of Tyrant Tree by people.
The dozen people in the caravan began to pack the cargo boxes, tying them to both sides of the camels' bodies. Inside were seasonings, among which pepper was the most precious. Calculated by weight, the price of this spice was comparable to gold, and it was only produced in Peru.
Su Xiao didn't know the leader of this caravan. He was temporarily hired to be responsible for protecting the caravan's safety through the desert. Besides him, the caravan leader also hired four others. The desert was not safe; there were many transcendent creatures here. The reward for the escort was 26 gold coins.
The gold coins of this world were different from any gold Su Xiao had ever seen. The color was dark golden, and the density was at least 7.5 times that of ordinary gold.
Su Xiao also stood up, picked up a cargo box, patted the fine sand off it, and tied it to the camel.
"Set off."
The leading camel was led forward. The camel's hooves were very large, especially the lower edge, which was five times thicker than the leg, which could prevent it from sinking into the fine sand.
Stepping on the loose sand, Su Xiao patted the camel beside him. This camel was very obedient and began to follow the camel in front. Even though the weather was very hot, the camel was shivering a little.
Snap!
The whip sound was crisp. A merchant wearing a face veil was at the very back of the team. Hearing the whip sound, the Peruvian slaves bound in a row by handcuffs and shackles began to move forward. Their shirtless upper bodies were covered in fine sand, and their lips were white and cracked.
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang ran past behind Su Xiao's legs, passed under the camel's belly, and performed a sand-ground fall + chin brake.
"Xiang Bubu."
"Woof."
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang shook the sand off its body and ran behind Su Xiao, inexplicably happy.
As the caravan moved forward, Su Xiao opened the mission list to check.
【Main Mission: Esaba】
Difficulty Level: lv. 45
Mission Information: Arrive at Esaba and rendezvous with Nicholas Caesar.
Hint: Nicholas Caesar has arrived in this world for 32 natural days.
Mission Deadline: 2 days.
Mission Reward: 30,000 Paradise Coins
Mission Penalty: Forced execution.
Seeing the first part of the mission, Su Xiao's eyebrows raised. Caesar was clearly doing "well." Last time he dealt with Rule-Breakers, it was that guy who paved the way. The cowardly, treacherous Caesar often did the most dangerous things.
Although Caesar had no combat power, this didn't mean he had no ability. Caesar being sent out showed that this Rule-Breaker was very difficult to deal with.
Su Xiao took out the 【Warrior's Clan Badge】. This thing increased his initial status. As for the extent of the increase, it was temporarily unknown.
Warrior's Clan Badge + Title Refining Permission, Su Xiao basically knew how to deal with Rule-Breakers. As long as he managed it well, he didn't need to fight those Rule-Breakers head-on, nor did he need to scheme against them, but use a simpler, more desperate way for the Rule-Breakers to purge them all.
This was an opportunity, an opportunity to make a big profit. But before that, Su Xiao had to rendezvous with Caesar. Caesar was the guide, letting Su Xiao see that young Sand Emperor. If Su Xiao wasn't mistaken, the most basic chip to deal with Rule-Breakers was to obtain military power in the Sand Flame Kingdom.
As long as he took down part of the military power, with the ability of one of Su Xiao's titles, it wouldn't take long for him to have great power in the Sand Flame Kingdom. The situation in the Sand Flame Kingdom was very complicated. The young Sand Emperor, the stunningly beautiful Queen, and the rampant slavery revealed too many problems.
The Title Refining Permission was used to upgrade the War Lord title. This time, Su Xiao faced high risks. As a reward, Reincarnation Paradise rewarded him with five bottles of 【Honor Resurrection Potion】, as well as the Title Refining Permission.
The sound of wind came from afar. The people in the caravan let out a series of exclamations. Those Peruvian slaves all squatted down, holding their heads with both hands, their bodies trembling, muttering something in their mouths.
"Prepare for battle! This is... a sand sculpture?"
The caravan leader roared, and the three men and one woman in the caravan drew their curved blades and short spears.
"You're the sand sculpture, your whole family is sand sculptures."
Baja, who swooped down, cursed angrily.
"A... a talking sand sculpture."
The caravan leader was very confused, forgetting his fear for a moment.
"Damn it! I'm not a sand sculpture!"
Baja landed on Su Xiao's shoulder, his eyes full of anger.
"This sand sculpture... is it tamed by you?"
The caravan leader looked at Su Xiao, then at Baja. His face, weathered by wind and sand, showed some hesitation.
"I didn't tame it."
"Then?"
"This sand..."
Su Xiao was halfway through his sentence.
"Ahem!"
"It's a Magic Eagle. Call it Baja."
"It's good that it's not a Holy Soul creature from the desert."
The caravan leader signaled to continue the journey. Wind and sand swept through. Looking from afar, the caravan was exceptionally small in the vast desert.
"Boss, scouted. It's all desert nearby. This ghost place is really hot. Xiang Bubu, cheer up, don't be stupid."
"Woof?"
"Done for. It seems Xiang Bubu needs to adapt for a while. Don't know where Amu is."
Baja looked at the scorching sun in the sky and narrowed its eyes.
At the same time, countless kilometers away, waves surged, and a figure with cold air rising was swimming in the sea.
"Moo!!"
"Meow~"
Benny squatted on Amu's head, one small claw hugging Amu's horn.
The sun gradually fell below the horizon, and the temperature in the desert dropped rapidly. The temperature difference between day and night was very obvious.
The caravan camped on a windward slope. Beside a bonfire raised by withered grass branches, a dozen merchants sat in a circle. They were all humming a folk song, which included praise for deities and praise for the desert. Someone even took out a small drum and tapped it with one hand.
"Xiang Bubu, have you adapted?"
Su Xiao sat at the highest point of the sand slope, holding dried meat in his hand, chewing slowly.
"Woof!"
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang raised its dog head, meaning it had long since adapted.
The first part of the mission wasn't difficult, but for some reason, Su Xiao always had a faint sense of crisis. This feeling was like being targeted by something.
Ding-a-ling~
Chains collided. A sturdy Peruvian slave slowly raised his head. After looking around, he lowered his head again, the black-purple light in his eyes fading.
Not far away, Su Xiao's hand paused, his gaze looking at that Peruvian slave.
"Just now, someone was watching us."
"Woof?"
"Didn't feel it."
Baja scanned the surroundings, not detecting anything abnormal.
"It's fine, he'll find us soon."
Su Xiao was just about to throw the last small piece of dried meat into his mouth when he suddenly stopped and immediately threw the dried meat far away.
Hiss~
A scorching sound came. The dried meat fell onto the sand and turned into black-purple residue.
Su Xiao raised his right arm. On his middle finger, index finger, and thumb, a trace of purple-black appeared. This purple-black spread along his fingertips and soon reached his palm.
Qing Gang Ying energy surged, and the purple-black faded at a speed visible to the naked eye. Su Xiao had just entered this world and was attacked. This was not a coincidence; it was a targeted attack.
The purple-black energy floated in the air, forming a string of small characters.
"Sfink won't die in vain. Either kill me, or you pay with your life, Kuku Lin Bai Ye." ===== CHAPTER 2442 =====
