Chapter 2578

In the tropical forest overgrown with plants, Su Xiao, holding the Qin Xin Blade, walked in front, splitting the banana leaves and shrubs blocking the way. Traveling in such an area was physical labor, but fortunately, this bit of physical exertion didn't count for much for Su Xiao.

The urgent priority now was to meet up with Amu and Baha. Amu was in the nearby area, and Baha was further away, but it could fly and would be able to arrive before long.

Half an hour later, Amu arrived from the south. After seeing Amu, Su Xiao subconsciously looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

"Woof~"

"Moo~"

Amu scratched its head, its head somewhat swollen. Please don't misunderstand, Amu didn't encounter an extraordinary hornet. It was teleported to a low altitude earlier, and after landing, it sat on a hornet's nest the size of half a house, and was subsequently besieged by numerous extraordinary hornets.

The result was that Amu ate half-full and also wrapped back a lot of honey with banana leaves, wanting Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Baha, and Benny to taste this delicious honey.

The work of clearing the way was transferred to Amu. Walking behind Amu, Su Xiao checked the main quest. There was only one ring for the main quest in this world.

【Main Quest: Spoils.】

Difficulty Level: lv. 62~lv. 69

Quest Information: Kill at least five Survivors.

Quest Deadline: 15 natural days.

Quest Reward: Determined by the number of Survivors killed.

Prompt: Killing five Survivors has a quest completion rate of 100%, killing ten is 120%, killing twenty is 150%, killing twenty-five is 190%, killing thirty is 240%.

Prompt: The quest completion rate can reach a maximum of 300%, requiring the killing of fifty Survivors.

Quest Penalty: Forced execution.

The quest content was quite simple, but it was very difficult to do. The reason was that Su Xiao felt the contractors he encountered this time were not easy to deal with.

There were two requirements for participating in the survival trial, and one could participate by satisfying any one of them. First was three S- ratings or three S- or higher comprehensive ratings, or a ranking within 10,000 in the Tree Arena.

There would be no weaklings within the top 10,000 of the Tree Arena. This ten thousand was the sum of all Seventh Tier contractors from all Paradises, as well as Seventh Tier powerhouses from the Void and Transcendent Derivative Worlds.

On this basis, the top ten thousand had a very high gold content. Among them, there might be powerhouses within the top one thousand, or even the top one hundred. As for the top ten, it wasn't impossible for them to appear.

Su Xiao didn't know which tier his strength was in now. That large windfall earlier had caused his strength to undergo a near-leap improvement.

Su Xiao didn't care much about food and fresh water resources being sealed, but the sealing of recovery items significantly increased the cost of combat. Once injured, one could only recover through self-healing. Healing types would be very popular in this world, so he could consider catching one.

"Boss, the scenery here is not bad, it's just that there are a few too many insects."

Baha flew over. For some reason, it was wearing an empty fruit shell on its head, and this huge empty fruit shell wrapped its entire head.

"Yaha!"

Seeing the faces of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu, Baha took off the empty fruit shell on its head. It had also been besieged by extraordinary hornets.

This wasn't a coincidence. This large area was the territory of Tiger-Eye Hornets. The number of Tiger-Eye Hornets in this area had to be calculated in the hundreds of millions. This area of the forest was called the Tiger Hornet Nest by the local indigenous people.

The team assembly was completed. As for Benny, that cat star person had long since run away, returning to the tropical forest. It was like returning home, so this was Benny's home field, and it had already gone to do something.

Su Xiao's next plan was very simple: start with the Tiger Hornet Nest as the starting point and look for other contractors in the surrounding area. If he encountered lone ones, he would act directly. Su Xiao didn't care at all whether the other party was a Survivor or a Hunter. Except for contractors on his own side, he would eliminate whoever he encountered.

And if he encountered a group of people, that would be very interesting. First, find a way to mix in, and after determining the situation of these people, he could act.

【Prompt: The Paradise Trial officially begins.】

【Number of Survivors: 300.】

【Number of Hunters: 25.】

【This trial will last for 15 natural days. In each natural day, material deployment will be carried out at random times.】

【Deployed materials are divided into two major categories: consumables and rare items.】

【Consumables are: Eighth Tier recovery potions, Eighth Tier props, one-time scrolls (these types of items cannot be taken out of this world).】

【Rare items are: Soul Crystals (complete), random Holy Spirit-level equipment, gems, bloodline items, etc. (these types of items can be taken out of this world).】

【Prompt: Life Dragon Essence will be deployed on the fourth natural day. The specific deployment time is random, and the location is random.】

【When materials are deployed, spatial reactions will appear above, and 5~7 material boxes will be deployed at a single time.】

【Prompt: The material box containing consumables is white, the rare item material box is green, and the Life Dragon Essence material box is blue.】

【Prompt: On the tenth natural day, the only purple material box will be deployed.】

Seeing these prompts, Su Xiao had a point: the identities of Survivors and Hunters were not absolute. If many Survivors united, they could completely return to hunt Hunters and occupy the deployed materials.

The urgent priority now was still to find other contractors, at least to meet the basic requirements of the main quest. Forced execution was no joke.

Hum~

A Tiger-Eye Hornet flew over. Su Xiao's sleeve detached a piece of 'Release', which suddenly disappeared. The Tiger-Eye Hornet with its wings cut off fell. This extraordinary creature was being controlled by someone.

"Perception is not bad. Are you a summoning type?"

Ten meters away, a boy was squatting on a tree fork.

"Don't misunderstand, we have no malice."

As soon as the boy finished speaking, three more figures leaped onto the trees near him, totaling four people.

"Summoning type, are you a Hunter?"

"Of course... not."

"That's good. Do you want to form a team with us?"

"Sure."

Encountering those who took the initiative to send themselves to the door, Su Xiao certainly wouldn't refuse. Finding him so straightforward, the boy squatting on the tree fork smiled.

"Counting you, our team already has five people. I am Moonlight, from Apocalypse. That one is Gourmet, from Holy Domain."

Moonlight raised his chin. Gourmet not far away didn't speak, just smiling. This smile felt very familiar, at least familiar to Su Xiao. He often saw contractors on his own side smiling like this when fighting World Contention.

"The sexy big sister over there is Violet, from Holy Light, and the last old man is Old Jack, with me, from Apocalypse. By the way, I am the captain of this team."

The boy named Moonlight claimed to be the captain. Near him, Violet, with charming eyes, winked at Su Xiao, and the last old man named Old Jack smiled kindly.

Four contractors, not one claimed to be from Reincarnation Paradise.

"What about you?"

Moonlight seemed to be a cheerful boy, with a mining shovel hanging on his waist.

"Kukulin, also from Apocalypse."

"Then the three of us are really destined."

Moonlight leaped down from the tree, and Gourmet, Violet, and Old Jack all did the same. After walking over, including Su Xiao, the five stood in a ring.

"1, 2, 3, 4, hmm, 4, still missing one, so let's start with these."

Moonlight spoke in a low voice. With his head slightly lowered, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Young man, you are still... too naive."

Old Jack sighed. Looking at Moonlight, he seemed somewhat helpless?

"Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore, let me laugh for a while."

Violet laughed so hard she was swaying, even sitting on the ground.

"Perfect plan."

Gourmet also looked at Moonlight. Moonlight, who was just about to reveal his fangs, froze.

"You, you guys."

Moonlight patted his head hard with one hand. After patting a few times, his thinking, influenced by his own ability, became clearer. He covered his face with one hand, lowered his head, and his shoulders shook. He was stupidly laughed at by his own behavior.

"In this way, the nearby area is the initial teleportation point for Hunters?"

Gourmet spoke. The situation was just like this: the four people Moonlight gathered were all Hunters.

"Four, I have a plan. How about we five cooperate temporarily, and based on this team, recruit other Survivors?"

Moonlight spoke. Violet and Old Jack looked at each other. These two clearly knew each other beforehand.

"Kukulin, you say what to do next."

Gourmet took off his top and moved his right arm. Seeing this, Moonlight, Violet, and Old Jack all showed wariness.

"Two of them are Death Paradise, the old one is from Holy Domain Paradise."

Su Xiao glanced at Moonlight and Violet, and finally turned his gaze to Old Jack.

"Great minds think alike. You slaughter Moonlight, the remaining two belong to me."

Gourmet revealed a somewhat neurotic smile. This aura already explained which Paradise contractor he was.

"No interest."

Su Xiao turned and walked into the shrubs, Amu stepped forward to clear the way.

"I'll slaughter all three, just happened to be hungry. Cooperate later?"

"Consider it then."

Su Xiao left these words and walked away.

"See you then."

As soon as Gourmet finished speaking, his eyes turned brownish-yellow, and he revealed a mouth full of sharp teeth when he smiled. This lunatic didn't care at all whether the battle had gains; he just felt uncomfortable.

"Three, I'll... send you on your way."

Bang!

The sound of wind breaking appeared. Gourmet, with a mouth full of sharp teeth, was already standing beside Moonlight, holding a dripping head in his hand. The expression on the head was full of astonishment.

A spurt of blood sprayed from Moonlight's severed neck, and the headless corpse fell.

Gourmet threw the head in his hand behind him. Blood gathered in his palm, forming a blood-colored meat ball, which he threw into his mouth to chew. He seemed to be muttering that it tasted bad.

"You look... very fresh and juicy."

Gourmet's gaze turned to Violet. Violet turned and fled; she couldn't see any hope of winning at all.

Tree Arena 53rd place, Blood-Crazy Gourmet, Faction, Reincarnation Paradise.
