Chapter 2473: The Peniel Family

2:00 AM, Segona City.

In the rows of barracks in the city, snoring sounds came one after another. The doors of the barracks were all open. Having fought for a day, the soldiers were very tired and fell asleep as soon as they hit the bed, not even having the energy to go to the free public bath in the city to wash up.

Patrols of soldiers walked past the surrounding city walls and inside the city. They were also very tired, but to avoid enemy spies sneaking into the city, they could only take turns patrolling.

On the city wall, several soldiers holding torches walked past in formation. When these soldiers walked away, a figure leaped out from outside the city wall. Before she landed, a black metal wire tightened, pulling her to the inner side of the city wall.

*Zhi~*

The metal wire was loosened, and this figure landed in the city. Her index finger hooked, and the metal wire flashed a cold light under the moonlight, shrinking back into her sleeve.

This was a woman wearing loose black clothes and a red mask. She squatted in the darkness, her finger pointing at the ground.

A few minutes later, the woman stepped forward, walking and stopping along the edge of the city wall. She successfully avoided all patrol teams in the city and arrived at the building area toward the rear.

In front of a stone building, the woman in black clothes stood in the shadows, waiting quietly. After waiting for nearly half an hour, a figure walked out of the stone building, holding a wooden box in his hand.

*Zhi~*

The metal wire tightened, and the figure walking out of the stone building was suddenly hung up. His mouth opened wide, wanting to shout something, but he couldn't make a sound.

The exquisite wooden box was also hung in mid-air. The woman standing in the darkness slowly clenched her fist, and the figure that was hung up lost its breath. This was Fenke, a subordinate of Caesar.

Fenke's corpse was hung in front of the woman in black clothes. Her finger pointed at Fenke's glabella. A moment later, she disappeared from where she stood.

A few minutes later, the woman in black clothes squatted on top of a stone building. She tore off the pendant on her neck. When she let go, the pendant stopped in mid-air, and a thin film appeared around the stone building.

After doing all this, the woman in black clothes leaned back, and the roof behind her seemed to turn into liquid, letting her "sink" into the building without a sound.

Inside the stone building, Su Xiao glanced at the roof and continued to read a book by candlelight. This was a historical record of Sand Flame, which contained many secrets written by a power-holder of the Peru Kingdom.

The candlelight on the table in front of Su Xiao suddenly went out. He calmly relit the candle. When the candlelight illuminated the surroundings, a figure wearing loose black clothes and a red mask was already standing near Su Xiao.

Su Xiao glanced at the person who came, put down the book in his hand, and pressed one hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist.

"I will leave you a whole corpse. This is what the employer asked me to convey."

This woman in black clothes was Red Ji, an alien sent by the Peru King. Red Ji wasn't entirely a subordinate of the Peru King, and the relationship between the two was more like an employment relationship.

Red Ji knew that this assassination mission was basically successful. The difficulty mainly lay in how to sneak into the city and how to isolate this stone building without a sound.

*Zhi~*

Red Ji released five metal wires and suddenly disappeared from where she stood. According to the employer's commission, she had to bring the enemy's corpse back, which wasn't too difficult.

A few minutes later, the room was like being swept by a typhoon. Slash marks and marks cut by metal wires were all over the walls.

Red Ji knelt on the ground. The mask on her face was full of cracks, one arm was at least five meters away from her, and the ground around her was full of broken metal wires. Blood dripped down her chin.

In the dark room, Su Xiao swung the long knife in his hand, and Red Ji's head was cut off in response.

An assassin coming to assassinate Su Xiao, even in a situation of equal strength, would have a high probability of autism in a close-quarters assassination. Moreover, Red Ji was only proficient in assassination, and her strength was weaker than Su Xiao's. The Peru King would never dream that leading soldiers was one of Su Xiao's side jobs—no, only having a title plus some experience in leading soldiers, it didn't even count as a side job, the title was the key.

Having not made a move for a while, Su Xiao didn't intend to expose his own combat power. He was guarding against the Peru King, and also guarding against Sand City. The situation in Sand City was becoming more and more unfathomable. However, this kind of assassination was welcome, but ultra-long-range assassination was another matter.

【You have killed the alien Red Ji.】

【You have obtained a Holy Spirit-level treasure chest.】

【The Soul Eater talent has been activated. You have permanently increased 60 mana points.】

The gains were not bad. After letting Bahar deal with the corpse, Su Xiao looked at the sky outside the window. It should be almost 3:00 AM.

Lighting several candlesticks in the room, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, taking out treasure chests one after another from the storage space. He was prepared to open all the epic-level treasure chests he had obtained.

Lighting a cigarette, with the European Emperor state on his body, looking at the thirty-something war-type treasure chests before him, Su Xiao, of course, wouldn't open them one by one. 10 at a time was the most suitable.

【You have opened 10 epic-level war treasure chests.】

【Bull Horn】 was quite good, at least for Su Xiao it was quite good. This was the output of war-type treasure chests, with distinct characteristics.

As for the 【Book of Awakening】, Su Xiao couldn't use this thing anymore, just sell it at a high price.

There were 28 epic-level treasure chests left. Su Xiao opened ten more at once.

【You have opened 10 epic-level war treasure chests.】

There were 18 left. Su Xiao decided to open the remaining treasure chests together.
