Chapter 2538

【Current Area: Palace of Earth·Outer Gate.】

In a somewhat dim environment, Su Xiao sat on the ground. The ground here was soft.

"Woof."

Xiang Bubu Wang, who was being sat on by Su Xiao's butt, barked. Clearly, the ground was not soft.

"Save, me~"

Liu's weak voice came from the very bottom. Listening to that voice, she could suffocate at any moment.

At this time, Liu was located at the very bottom, above her was Xiang Bubu, and then Su Xiao.

After nearly ten days, from Bamboo Village to the Tower Forest, from the Tower Forest to the Misty Swamp, they had finally entered the Source·God's Hometown. During this period, Su Xiao also participated in a Battle of Royal Blood along the way.

Su Xiao leaped to the ground and looked around. This was an underground palace. Luminous plants grew on the walls and ceiling, and the blue light emitted made this place not appear dark.

There was only one path forward. The entire passage, built of stacked rocks, was about ten meters wide and fourteen meters high. The illumination range of the blue fluorescence was limited, and it was pitch black ahead.

Su Xiao walked at the very front. According to the previous prompt from Reincarnation Paradise, after entering the Source·God's Hometown, if one could find the Blind Old Man, one could exchange for rare items through the 'Soul of Ba'.

At this time, Su Xiao had a total of 40 Souls of Ba, but he did not know where the Blind Old Man was.

Su Xiao walked forward at a steady pace. The route of the Palace of Earth was very simple; so far, it had been straight ahead. The Giant King had also entered the Source·God's Hometown, but it was unknown where he was.

Not only did Su Xiao not see the Giant King, but Amu, Bahar, and Chiff were also nowhere to be found. Amu and Bahar were not within the real-time communication range of the team channel.

According to Su Xiao's estimation, the Source·God's Hometown should not be too large. The feeling it gave people was more like a prison. The ancient gods had been defeated, so they were imprisoned here, and the Giant King was the guard.

What Su Xiao could not figure out was why the Giant King had also entered the Source·God's Hometown together. Did this mean the 'Gate of the God's Hometown' no longer needed guarding?

More importantly, the elderly tower guard had said that something in the God's Hometown was coming out. What exactly that thing was remained unknown.

The conclusion Su Xiao reached was that for the Giant King, the 'Gate of the God's Hometown' no longer had any meaning to continue guarding. He wanted to enter the God's Hometown himself to clear out the things inside.

While pondering, Su Xiao discovered that the long corridor of the underground palace had reached its end. The area ahead became open, and the air was also much fresher. It should not take long to reach the surface.

Jingle~

The sound of metal colliding came. Su Xiao stopped his steps. He took out a prop similar to a signal gun. After pulling the trigger, a short arrow shot out and nailed into the ceiling over ten meters high. The tail end of the short arrow emitted a strong light, illuminating this underground space.

Within the underground space of over a thousand square meters, a behemoth was curled up in a corner. Its height was around six meters, in a humanoid form, but it was gripping the ground with four claws, its hind legs arched. On its forelimbs were two large claws, the ten sharp claws were of metallic quality, each at least half a meter long, covered in carvings, with cold light flashing at the tips.

This monster had gray-black fur all over its body. The fur was not short, appearing soft, but in reality, this fur had very strong defensive power.

Most conspicuous were the three glass pillars on the monster's back, each half a meter thick, deeply embedded into its flesh and blood, with each glass pillar filled with light blue liquid, fixed to its body with rivets and iron bars.

The gray-furred monster's nose twitched, and those blue vertical pupils suddenly opened. The liquid within the glass pillars on its back began to churn, turning from light blue to blood red. Correspondingly, the vertical pupils in its eyes became even bluer.

"This is... an ancient god?"

Su Xiao looked at the monster ahead, feeling quite surprised in his heart. With his perception, the monster ahead contained divine energy as well as the Power of Source.

More importantly, an iron ring was around the monster's neck, clearly indicating it had been imprisoned before. Now that it had regained its freedom, it was to guard the exit of the Palace of Earth.

To confirm that his perception was not wrong, Su Xiao released the Apostle's Eye.

The Ancient God·Dire Wolf slowly straightened its body. Its body was trembling, and the blue light in its eyes gradually dimmed.

With a rumble, the Dire Wolf collapsed to the ground. The blue light in its right eye disappeared completely.

"Kill... me, I am... a god! Not, a Source-dog guarding the door."

The Dire Wolf's claws dug into the ground. It was trying its best to suppress its own Source-transformation, but judging from its eyes that were gradually turning sky blue, it could not hold on for much longer.

Encountering such a good thing, Su Xiao certainly would not hesitate. Even if it were an enemy's trap, his Dragon Shadow Flash had not been used yet, and he could retreat at the first opportunity.

While Su Xiao rushed forward, he drew the Zhan Long Shan at his waist. Qing Gang Ying energy clung to the blade, and electric arcs surged.

Puchi!

The long blade pierced into the Dire Wolf's eye socket. The Dire Wolf felt the pain and let out a roar from its mouth.

After one blade thrust, Su Xiao utilized the momentum of his rush to kick the Dire Wolf on the head, while simultaneously drawing the blade.

Bang.

A shockwave spread out. The Dire Wolf was kicked backward by Su Xiao. Just as it tilted its head back, the muscles on Su Xiao's right arm holding the blade bulged slightly.

'Blade Dao Blade·Extreme.'

Zing.

A streak of light blue blade light swept across the Dire Wolf's neck. The Dire Wolf was originally a big boss-level unit, but under the high erosion of the Source, its various abilities were significantly weakened, plus it was deliberately suppressing its Source-transformation, so it had its head severed by Su Xiao in one strike.

A massive head landed on the ground. The flesh and blood all over the Dire Wolf's body bulged, as if explosives had been ignited inside, and blood and minced meat exploded outward.

Bang, bang, bang!

The Ancient God·Dire Wolf, which had been majestic just a moment ago, had now turned into minced meat all over the ground. The only thing that could still be considered intact was its head, although the bones were already exposed.

The Dire Wolf's eyeballs rotated and looked at Su Xiao.

"Human."

The Dire Wolf's voice spread out. This was a voice emitted through mental fluctuations. This once-powerful existence wanted to know one last thing before dying.

Su Xiao hesitated for a moment and did not shatter the Dire Wolf's head with one strike. This pseudo-boss's behavior made him very puzzled. Not only did it not resist, but after having its head severed, it immediately utilized its own life force and Power of Source to counter-balance, as if afraid it would not die.

"Is the outside world... still okay? Are the Tower Forest and the Holy Guard still there?"

Su Xiao did not know why the Ancient God·Dire Wolf would ask this. According to the records of the Tower Forest, the ancient gods once enslaved the human race.

"The outside world is very normal."

"That's good. We... once did wrong things, but we have already repaid them. Don't let them out. Sorry... Edri·Dewen, I couldn't complete, the promise I made..."

The Dire Wolf's aura dissipated, and it died here.

【Prompt: You have killed the Ancient God·Dire Wolf.】

【This is the last ancient god.】

【You have obtained 17.3% of the World's Source.】

【Because you have killed the last ancient god, you have triggered the hidden mission: The Dire Wolf's Last Wish.】

【Because you triggered the hidden mission·The Dire Wolf's Last Wish, you have obtained the Moon Tree Seed (Special Item·???, cannot be brought out of this world).】

Su Xiao raised his hand. The 【God's Judgment】 ring worn on his hand emitted a faint light. This indicated that the Dire Wolf was indeed an extremely evil god and had done evil things. 【God's Judgment】 was absorbing divine energy to grow.

The Dire Wolf's words before death were thought-provoking. It was actually concerned about the Tower Forest Kingdom and the Holy Guard Kingdom, which were once its opponents.

Moreover, judging from the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise, there were no more ancient gods in the Source·God's Hometown. This was the last ancient god. Something had occupied the Source·God's Hometown and slaughtered the few ancient gods here.
