Chapter 2786
Inside the cave, Death Disciple turned his head stiffly and saw Su Xiao standing in the rocky passage not far away. He knew there would be no fight.
"All of you, stop."
Death Disciple shouted. Skyfeather Akusi, who had been entangled with Baha, backed away. Nearby, Amu stepped on the Black Knight, raising the Dragon Heart Axe with one hand, ready to chop off the Black Knight's head.
Crack—Amu chopped off the Black Knight's head without the slightest hesitation. The cow was ruthless and didn't talk much.
No blood splattered; the Black Knight's armor was filled with black mist. Seeing this, Amu grabbed one of the Black Knight's legs, swung it in an Amu-style rotation, and finally slammed it into the ground, creating a crater.
Amu stomped the Black Knight's chest plate flat, exhaling two streams of cold air from its nostrils. In Su Xiao's team, besides himself, Amu was the strongest.
"Surrender."
The Moon Apostle raised her hands, but in the next instant, a cyan blade light slashed across her neck, seemingly faster than she could blink.
"Master!!"
Skyfeather Akusi's eyes were about to split, her voice tinged with tears. She flew toward the Moon Apostle at full speed, but halfway there, her entire body began to turn translucent.
The blade light slashed past. The Moon Apostle's fair face trembled. She rarely encountered such violent enemies; they didn't negotiate, didn't accept buy-off money, and didn't even say a word.
Once hostile, it was a fight to the death. This gave the Moon Apostle an inner sense of trepidation. She was certain that this person was not the same kind of person as her, and was fundamentally different from all contractors in Apocalypse Paradise. This was no longer a matter of strength.
Determining this, the Moon Apostle secretly decided that such a violent enemy must be avoided, as far away as possible!
Patter, patter~
Soul crystals fell to the ground one by one. Judging by the quantity, there were at least 80. Besides these, there was an earring, three items, and an egg the size of a goose egg.
Apart from these, the ground was covered in a translucent currency—the manifestation of Soul Coins. A preliminary estimate put the number at over 3,000.
The Moon Apostle wasn't dead yet. She was actually dropping equipment. No, normally, even if a combat angel or contractor died, they wouldn't drop equipment directly; at most, they would drop a Scarlet Card.
The Moon Apostle's body turned translucent. Seeing this, Su Xiao was very surprised. He could be certain that the Moon Apostle hadn't used any items just now. If she had, there would have been subtle fluctuations.
The Moon Apostle had been forcibly returned without using any items. This was likely a protection mechanism of Apocalypse Paradise.
"Damn it! Is she the biological daughter of Apocalypse? How can she be forcibly returned like this?!"
Baha's voice cracked. It was the first time it had seen such a situation. Bubu Wang was stunned, truly the first time it had seen such a flashy move.
"Yeah~"
The Moon Apostle made a slightly cheeky V-sign. In fact, she could be forcibly returned precisely because of Apocalypse Paradise's protection mechanism.
In the previous world, she had helped Apocalypse Paradise win a World Conquest battle single-handedly, 1 against 372 contractors, and she had won. At this moment, the forced return was a privilege rewarded to her by Apocalypse Paradise, but it came at a price: random loss of equipment, items, and Soul Coins.
As combat angels, the treatment of the little angel Morey compared to the Moon Apostle was simply heaven and earth.
"Lost. I really don't understand you people from Reincarnation Paradise. You should take the money and let me live. Who would fight to the death with you lunatics?"
The Moon Apostle originally wanted to say something harsh, but considering the opponent was from Reincarnation Paradise, the famous Lunatic Paradise, she decided not to. If she provoked them, and they did nothing else but spend a high price on items to track and hunt her down, she would cry herself to sleep in the bathroom.
It wasn't that the Moon Apostle was overthinking; such things had indeed happened, and not just a few times. That was why Lunatic Paradise was so feared. Once a major grudge was formed, it was a fight to the death, where one had to die.
After leaving dozens of soul crystals, an important piece of equipment, three items, and a ground full of Soul Coins, the Moon Apostle, whose heart was aching, disappeared. Before disappearing, she felt like hanging herself. She had worked in vain this world—no, the gains from the previous world were also lost here. This was the price of a forced return.
The battle ended very suddenly. Su Xiao arrived at the spot where the Moon Apostle had disappeared, and a large number of prompts appeared.
【You have obtained 3,192 Soul Coins.】
【You have obtained New Moon Bud (Immortal-level +13 accessory, already inlaid with 2 Immortal-level gems, female-exclusive equipment).】
【You have obtained Spirit Light Cocoon (Immortal-level consumable).】
【You have obtained Soul Crystal (Complete) x84.】
【You have obtained Directional Coordinate (Immortal-level item) x3.】
Seeing these prompts, Su Xiao felt that this was much higher than the gains from killing the Moon Apostle—a difference of thousands, even tens of thousands of times.
"Unexpectedly wealthy."
Su Xiao put away all the items. 【New Moon Bud (Immortal-level +13 accessory)】, 【Spirit Light Cocoon】, and 【Directional Coordinate x3】 were all in a pending notarization state and would need to be notarized after returning to Reincarnation Paradise to see their specific characteristics.
However, Su Xiao felt that this earring, 【New Moon Bud】, was extremely valuable and should be one of the Moon Apostle's core pieces of equipment.
"This woman is too damn rich."
Baha was a bit emotional, but now was not the time for emotion. After dealing with the Moon Apostle, the next step was to deal with the Duoyin Empire with all his might.
Minutes after the Moon Apostle was forcibly returned, messages in the World Contact Channel were about to explode.
Bite Cat (Holy Light Paradise): "Moon Apostle passed away on the spot, 233."
Mu Xiao (Holy Light Paradise): "Expected."
Flame Master (Sanctuary Paradise): "I feel..."
Mogni (Apocalypse Paradise): "No need to feel, that's just how it is."
Huang Hai (Watchman Paradise): "Solving the opponent at the root, one step at a time."
Dragon Skeleton (Apocalypse Paradise): "Gray Gentleman, if I were you, I wouldn't show up recently."
Gray Gentleman (Reincarnation Paradise): "Almost burned to death by the Duoyin King. By the way, everyone, the Void Tree Fruit is on the fourth basement level of the Duoyin King's palace. Specific information provided for free."
Bite Cat (Holy Light Paradise): "Void Tree Fruit? I'm a bit interested."
Gulu (Reincarnation Paradise): "Shut up, silly cat."
Bite Cat (Holy Light Paradise): "Thanks."
On the east side of the Burning Land, Su Xiao looked at the vast magma lake in the distance. At this moment, there were 530,000 Wolf Cavalry remaining, including the 100,000 Wolf Knights on the main battlefield, who had long since retreated.
From the "Wall of Atad" all the way here, nearly 70,000 Wolf Cavalry had died in battle. This was a significant loss, but considering the number of wars experienced, the number of deaths was within expectations.
As for the Flame Demon Legion, the scale was 5.04 million. Due to the large number, Su Xiao prepared to use them as the main force for the decisive battle with Duoyin.
That's right, Su Xiao was prepared to fight Duoyin head-on. At this moment, the legion under his command was enough to support him in a head-on battle with Duoyin.
But before that, he had to consider how to leave the Burning Land, which was the most important thing.
Departing from Winter City and crossing the Northern Territory was absolutely impossible. The reason was that before even leaving the Northern Territory, the Flame Demon Legion might be wiped out. In the extreme cold zone, the Flame Demon Legion's total attributes would decrease by 25%, body defense by 47 points, and maximum health by 1,200 points.
