Chapter 2544

Looking at the Heavenly Palace in the distance, Su Xiao took a small bottle of blood from his storage space. This was what he had collected from the previous battle.

The 【Ancient Mask】 could still be used 2 more times before reaching the usage limit for this world. It could only be used in the next world after being repaired upon returning to the Reincarnation Paradise.

Through experimentation, Su Xiao discovered that the disguise of the 【Ancient Mask】 actually had two characteristics.

The first characteristic is using the personal items of the 'person to be disguised'. This disguise lasts longer; for example, when Su Xiao disguised himself as the old king, he could disguise himself for more than ten hours.

This disguise is not without flaws; there is a very small probability of being seen through.

As for the second type of disguise, it uses the blood of the 'person to be disguised'. To disguise with blood, one must first ensure that the amount of blood is sufficient, because after the disguise, the blood is a consumable.

The time for blood disguise is short; even if the amount is sufficient, it is only a few hours. However, this type of disguise has almost no flaws, unlike using items, which lasts longer but has a chance of being seen through.

The two forms of disguise have no distinction of superiority or inferiority and are suitable for different situations. Disguising as a person in power, item disguise is better; disguising as a strong person, blood disguise is more suitable.

What Su Xiao wanted to disguise as now was a dead Qin-type Taba, that is, the purple-robed Taba.

Su Xiao opened the blood bottle, dripped a drop of blood from inside onto the mask, sealed the blood bottle, and tucked it into his bosom.

Putting on the 【Ancient Mask】, Su Xiao's clothing gradually turned purple, and the appearance of Zhan Long Shan also changed, with a pendant appearing at the end of the hilt. The disguise was successful.

"Boss, let me use this thing next time."

"What for?"

"I'll disguise myself as Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and pluck Benny's fur, quack quack quack."

"..."

Su Xiao let Baha act according to the situation and walked into the building complex ahead.

In the swirling water vapor, the buildings ahead became closer and closer. When Su Xiao arrived near a two-story pavilion, he saw two Taba embracing each other, biting each other's necks, one of whom was relatively slim.

"Cough."

Su Xiao coughed dryly, and both of them shuddered, immediately separating. The male Taba among them drew his blade directly.

"You, saw it."

The male Taba's eyes revealed murderous intent, and a drop of blood slid down his neck, while the female Taba's eyes revealed a look of seeking help, her pupils even bluer.

These two were not embracing intimately but were transferring the excess source energy in one of their bodies.

"Be careful, if the leader sees you, you will both die."

Su Xiao sat on the steps in front of the pavilion. The street nearby was empty. His disguise this time only lasted 6 hours, which was enough time.

"Have you done this too?"

The long blade in the male Taba's hand returned to its sheath. After sitting down beside Su Xiao, he waved his hand to let the female Taba leave.

"I've done it six times."

Su Xiao already understood the current situation; this seemed to be a means for the Taba to alleviate source-ification.

"Six, six times? You... how did you do it?"

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. His primary goal was to rescue Amu and Liu.

"Outsiders have come."

"I know, the leader has already summoned everyone, except for Taba like me who are about to be source-ified. Aren't you the same? You weren't summoned by the leader."

The male Taba sneered, took out a few wild fruits from his bosom, and threw them into his mouth one by one to eat.

"The outsiders almost slashed off my head."

Su Xiao took the wild fruit thrown by the male Taba, appearing to chew it in his mouth, but actually, he had already put it into his storage space.

"Are those outsiders that strong?"

"Careless, otherwise that outsider would already be dead."

"Really? Haha."

The male Taba laughed, seeing that Su Xiao was just saying polite words; almost being killed was not a glorious thing.

"I heard the leader captured two outsiders?"

"It wasn't captured by the leader, it was Hao Hun and the other five."

"Where are they locked up?"

"Don't mess around. I know you're very angry, but those two outsiders cannot be touched."

"..."

Su Xiao tilted his head to look at the male Taba. After staring at each other for a moment, the male Taba cursed in a low voice. Su Xiao didn't hear what he was cursing.

"We haven't met today. Don't blame me if you die. Those two outsiders are in..."

The male Taba's voice became lower and lower. After saying a place, he got up and left in a hurry. The reason he was willing to say it was that he was worried that Su Xiao would report his forcing his clansmen to absorb source energy to the leader of the Qin.

Su Xiao sat on the steps without moving. After waiting for a few minutes, confirming that the male Taba had walked far away, he stood up and walked on the street with a leisurely expression.

On both sides of the street were pavilions. The reason he didn't see other Taba was that the leader of the Qin had already gathered the Taba here.

After walking a few steps, Su Xiao felt something bump into his leg; it was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Under Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's guidance, Su Xiao walked quickly and soon arrived in front of a building with flying fish roof ornaments; this was the place where Amu was imprisoned.

There was no one guarding the door. Su Xiao pushed the door and entered directly. Just as he entered the door, a blade-spear was held across his neck.

"Take off your mask, outsider."

A Taba holding a blade-spear in one hand and wearing loose dark red robes spoke. He wore ornaments on both ears, and blue light flashed in his eyes. This was an elite Taba named Hao Hun.

"Let your leader come to see me."

Su Xiao's hand pressed on his face, putting away the 【Ancient Mask】. He already had a general understanding of the enemy's situation. Next, there would only be three results: 1. He would be chased until he escaped the God Village; 2. He would die here; 3. All the Taba in the Heavenly Palace would die.

After taking off the 【Ancient Mask】, Su Xiao's face and clothing quickly recovered. The blade-spear held against his neck moved closer, even cutting his skin, and a wisp of blood remained.

"You, are worthy of respect, just too stupid."

As soon as the elite Taba Hao Hun's words fell, four figures landed near Su Xiao, surrounding him.

A female Taba sat on the carved wooden railing of the second floor. She wore the same blue robes as the leader of the Qin and carried a longbow on her back. This was the other leader of the Taba, the leader of the Ni, Lie Chao.

It had to be said that even if Lie Chao was a Taba, her appearance was worthy of affirmation. Combined with the Taba's clothing, she had a unique charm.

"You came too slowly."

The leader of the Ni, Lie Chao, looked at Su Xiao, as if she had long expected that Su Xiao would come here.

Two Taba walked from behind the leader of the Ni, Lie Chao, both lowering their heads respectfully. These two were exactly the two Su Xiao had encountered at the edge of the Heavenly Palace. Those two were embracing each other to 'transfer the source'. In fact, there was no way to solve source-ification; it was just a performance by these two Taba.

In this way, that male Taba would be caught by Su Xiao, and he would logically say what he was unwilling to say. This was a trap.

When Su Xiao arrived below the Heavenly Palace before, why were there no Taba guards there? The reason was just that. The Taba were intentionally luring Su Xiao here. To make this look normal, that male Taba also said that the leader of the Qin had summoned everyone to discuss something and was preparing to do a big thing, so there were no guards on the spiral staircase and suspension bridge below the Heavenly Palace.

To be honest, Su Xiao felt awkward hearing this reason before, so after the other party said this, he helped the other party change the subject to avoid awkward conversation.

Bang!

The door behind Su Xiao was kicked to pieces. Taba after Taba stood outside the door, surrounding this three-story pavilion, including the roof, which was full of Taba.

At least a hundred Taba surrounded this place, plus five elite Taba and the leader of the Ni, Lie Chao. And Su Xiao was at the center of the encirclement. No matter how you looked at it, this was a desperate situation.

Everything Su Xiao had experienced just now was too smooth: smoothly arriving at the Heavenly Palace, smoothly finding Amu, and even Amu and Liu were imprisoned together.

Clearly, Su Xiao had been calculated by the leader of the Ni, Lie Chao.

If the leader of the Ni, Lie Chao knew how Su Xiao and Ted had dealt with the old king, and how miserable the eldest prince Walsh, Spider Lady, and others were, she would never have arranged this plan to lure Su Xiao here.

The Taba had been isolated from the world for too long. Their traps, in Su Xiao's view, were a bit straightforward, and their acting was average.
