Chapter 2487

~9 min read 1,645 words

Peru Kingdom, Gaoshan City.

After Su Xiao signed the ceasefire treaty with the Peru King, the Male Sheep Cavalry Regiment retreated to the bottom of the city wall. The war that had lasted for many years between the two countries was about to subside.

Su Xiao didn't immediately order a retreat. He was waiting for Bennie and Amu. After arriving near Gaoshan City, Bennie posted a message in the team channel.

According to Bennie's narrative, Su Xiao learned that the two of them swam in the sea for many days, and then arrived at the coast of Peru.

Bennie and Amu traveled together. After they wandered around in Peru, they arrived near Gaoshan City.

Bennie suggested that it sneak near Gaoshan City, and Amu wait in the nearby area. Bored, Amu started pretending to be a tree in a small forest and has been squatting there until now.

Su Xiao waited for more than ten minutes. Bennie arrived first. This cat-star person was carrying a small backpack, not knowing what was inside.

"Meow."

Bennie sat on the ground holding the small backpack and took out a broken stone slab from it with its meow claws.

"This is?"

Su Xiao took the broken stone slab handed by Bennie. The front of the stone slab had strange carvings, and the back was uneven.

"Meow~"

Bennie began to narrate the origin of this stone slab. According to its investigation, this stone slab came from the Ancient Civilization Continent. Crossing the sea from Peru's border, if the direction is correct, one can reach that Ancient Civilization Continent in 3-5 days.

Bennie's original plan was to let Amu go with it, but Amu was always silent. In fact, Bennie was also timid. Recently, it didn't want to cross the sea. Curiosity about the Ancient Civilization Continent made Bennie itch.

"In other words, you are prepared to go to the Ancient Civilization Continent to explore and find the 'Ancient Mask'?"

"Meow!"

Bennie grabbed a broken stone slab with one claw, meaning it had a high probability of finding the Ancient Mask.

Whether the Ancient Mask really exists is unknown. According to Bennie's investigation, the Ancient Mask's ability is very powerful. As long as you wear it and pay a certain price, you can temporarily disguise yourself as anyone.

"Let Baja take you?"

"Meow."

Bennie shook its head, meaning it was prepared to go by itself. It still had to collect the last broken stone slab in Gaoshan City.

Bennie lied. It stayed in Gaoshan City before, mainly because it was worried about Amu encountering an accident, but it was just a bit embarrassed to say it directly. Comparing comprehensive combat power, Amu > Baja > Bennie. Bubu Wang is not in the ranking.

Amu's combat power is indeed strong, but it is not as clever as Bennie. Located in Peru, the two of them combined are the safest.

Before long, Bennie disappeared from Su Xiao's sight, likely heading straight for the Ancient Civilization Continent.

Not long after Bennie left, Amu arrived. Seeing Amu, Baja flew up and landed on Amu's shoulder. One of them is a tank, and one is responsible for assassination. After cooperating, they can deal with various emergencies.

Su Xiao ordered the whole army to assemble, the rear team became the front team, and returned along the original path.

The black dragon flew into the high sky, and the 270,000 beast cavalry below ran, marching towards the outside of the Peru Kingdom in a mighty way.

Sitting cross-legged on the black dragon's back, Su Xiao began to think about subsequent plans. First, he had to wait for Fei Shi to enter this world in the next few days.

There should be no problem in Sand Capital. Su Xiao chose to sign a ceasefire treaty with the Peru King, and the risk involved was not small.

First, he was only a Grand Commander. According to the status ranking of the Sand Flame Kingdom, the Sand Emperor was at the top, followed by the High Priest (Uno) and the Minister (Karos).

Below the High Priest was the Grand Commander, and below Minister Karos, there were kingdom officials of the same rank as the Grand Commander.

The entire power system was pyramid-shaped. According to common sense, only the Sand Emperor could sign a ceasefire treaty. Neither the High Priest nor the Minister had the qualifications.

Su Xiao's previous behavior belonged to serious overstepping of authority. If Sand Capital pursued it, dismissing his position as Grand Commander would be normal.

The sentence the Peru King said before was very intriguing. Only when Su Xiao is here is the ceasefire treaty valid.

Logically speaking, the Peru King should very much hope that Su Xiao would be dismissed. Su Xiao beat the Peru Kingdom not lightly.

The Peru King didn't do this, which means the other party knows something. Someone in Sand Capital wants to take revenge on the Peru King through Su Xiao. The Peru King deduced this point and also wanted to contain that person in Sand Capital through Su Xiao.

Under the promotion of the ceasefire treaty, Su Xiao, Sand Capital, and the Peru King reached a balance. That person in Sand Capital would be very uncomfortable.

This is also the result Su Xiao wants to see. Sand Capital cannot be chaotic yet, otherwise, he will be very passive. He must wait for Fei Shi to come, and also guard against Sand Capital at all times.

Su Xiao didn't kill Laidun Red-Beard and handed the other party to the Peru King, and also gave up the benefits of killing the Mao Sheng God. If Sand Capital didn't feed at all, maybe there would be no movement at all, which is not the result Su Xiao wants to see.

The army marched fast. Without the interception of dwarf troops, before the sky darkened, Su Xiao arrived at the large forest near the Luotui Mountains.

There were no twists and turns along the way. After crossing the large forest, the Luotui Mountains appeared in front.

……

Two days later, central battlefield, on a plain wasteland.

This is one of the three wonders of the central battlefield, the Place of Sleep. It is said that the first Sand Emperor reached an alliance with the deity here. What is strange is that this neutral deity hasn't appeared much since forming an alliance with the first Sand Emperor, not like the Mao Sheng God, forming a sect in Peru.

The image of the Sand Flame deity is female, and there are also rumors that it is male, symbolizing death, sand, rebirth, etc. No one knows the specifics. The citizens of Sand Flame only know that there is this deity. Rather than saying it is a real deity, it is better to say it is a spiritual sustenance.

The scope of the Place of Sleep is very large, located on the far west side of the central battlefield. Further west is the Land of Cold, which is frozen all year round and not suitable for living.

Looking around, the Place of Sleep is not desolate. A tree resembling a willow grows here, dozens of meters high. At night, the branches hanging down from this tree will emit a faint light. Under the dance of fireflies, it is beautiful.

This tree in the Place of Sleep is also called the Soul Tree. Whether it is Sand Flame or Peru, the civilians of the two countries believe that after they die, their souls will float here and become a leaf of the Soul Tree to sleep.

Not only do civilians believe it, but soldiers of the two countries also believe it, so this area was not affected by the flames of war.

What is even more amazing is that neither the Sand Emperor nor the Peru King will send troops here, which is almost equivalent to tacitly acknowledging the folk legends.

The breeze gently brushed, and the hanging branches drifted. Su Xiao sat under the Soul Tree. Many wooden signs were tied to the trunk, with prayers written on them.

The surrounding wasteland is not suitable for ambushing soldiers. Fortunately, Su Xiao has countermeasures. This is not the battlefield he chose. According to the rule-breaker Amisha, the other party arrived in this world at this place.

Saw Poison and Magician are also like this. Thinking from another perspective, if there were other teleportation points, these three wouldn't all arrive in this world here.

The problem is likely with the Soul Tree. Su Xiao sensed that this thing is not a complete plant, it is very like a companion. As for whether the souls of the dead will float into the tree, it is completely impossible.

Without special abilities, after the soul loses the protection of the flesh, it will dissipate before long. How could it float here?

The Soul Tree is not an ordinary plant. Su Xiao felt that it has some characteristics of a deity, likely a companion of a certain deity.

Rule-breakers use this extraordinary plant unique to this world as a coordinate to enter this world, which makes perfect sense. Why the initial teleportation points of Amisha, Saw Poison, and Magician were here.

If there are no other changes, the place where Fei Shi descends is likely here too. Constructing a temporary space coordinate within a world, whether it is a hunter or a rule-breaker, cannot do it. Tier 7 cannot do it either. The resources consumed are too terrifying. If there is a 'reference object', using this as a coordinate to teleport, it would be much simpler.

Su Xiao took out a large wooden box from the storage space. Inside were various sundries he obtained in the Peru Kingdom. He wanted to use these things to set up in the nearby area.

A pre-arrangement by an alchemist is a very terrifying thing for the enemy.
