Chapter 2823: Five Parties Gather

Xiuxiu Luo was not the Son of the World. Baja was a bit surprised by this. Logically speaking, the opponent's experience was the treatment of a top-tier Son of the World.

"The script is wrong. Shouldn't you be taking revenge?"

Hearing Baja's words, Xiuxiu Luo shook his head with a smile.

"Revenge? There are 12,850 secret mages recorded in the Magic Association, and that was 13 years ago. I'm not the chosen one in the story. If I go to the Eastern Continent, I won't even see Rogesh before being slaughtered by other secret mages of the Magic Association, and then sealed into a bottle and sent to Rogesh."

"Smart decision."

Baja gave Xiuxiu Luo a thumbs up. Xiang Bubu Wang on the side tilted its head slightly, looking a bit emotional, thinking about dog life. But it didn't think for long before it tilted its dog head, meaning what to eat tonight. Xiang Bubu had no worries unless it encountered ghost-type enemies.

When the sky turned dark, the fluctuation of the second node appeared, still in District 4, District 5, or District 6.

Taking advantage of the night, Su Xiao rushed to District 5. The night in District 5 was completely different from the day. Every household closed their doors and windows, the windows were sealed with wooden boards, and there were iron bars outside the wooden boards. One could only see the light through the cracks in the wooden boards.

In Districts 4-9 at night, even if the refugees were at home, they tried to speak in low voices. There were too many desperadoes on the street.

Under the moonlight, figures in tattered clothes sat at street corners. Trash cans were placed in the center of the street.

Su Xiao leaped down from the roof of a two-story building. The second node was still in District 5. A total of 32 districts, and the node appeared in District 5 twice in a row. Calling it a coincidence was a bit far-fetched.

Su Xiao kicked away the trash can in the center of the street, and a light hole about one meter in diameter appeared on the street surface.

Ordinary people couldn't see this thing. With Xiuxiu Luo's strength, he could only sense the node if he was close.

Several figures walked out from the gaps between the houses. The moonlight shone on the shining sharp weapons in their hands.

These desperadoes examined Su Xiao in the dark for a while, and one of them sneered in a low voice, knowing that Su Xiao was not the target they were 'hunting'.

Su Xiao didn't care about those desperadoes. He took out the temporary coordinate and put it into the node. The temporary coordinate opened.

Su Xiao's perception was fully opened. Many desperadoes gathered around. As for the enemy Qiyuezhe, it seemed none of them came.

"How much longer."

Xiuxiu Luo was very vigilant, constantly looking around.

Su Xiao looked at Xiuxiu Luo, his eyes showing doubt. He could see that the opponent was anxious. When he met the masked man Bas during the day, the opponent didn't have anxious emotions like this.

While sensing the surroundings, Su Xiao pondered in his heart. First, Xiuxiu Luo was hiding something. This matter was originally unrelated to the node, but after the node appeared in District 5 twice in a row, it made the opponent feel that the matter was related to the node.

The point was District 5. Something was about to happen here, and this matter was enough to make the bold Xiuxiu Luo anxious. This had the following possibilities.

1. The Magic Association was preparing to make a big move in District 5.

2. Xiuxiu Luo knew about a big change in District 5 through special intelligence channels, a change enough to make the Western Continent chaotic.

Thinking of these, Su Xiao asked: "Xiuxiu Luo, how much longer."

"You are the one controlling the node, you ask me?"

"The next node will still appear in District 5."

Su Xiao didn't know if this speculation was true, but it didn't matter.

"That's really good news."

Xiuxiu Luo's expression was normal, still vigilant about the surroundings.

"How much longer can District 5 be stable."

"This damn place has never been stable."

Xiuxiu Luo looked at Su Xiao suspiciously, but in reality, he was having a stormy sea in his heart, and his inner activities were extremely intense. For example: 'How did he know? Is he testing? Could it be that he also entered the underground of the Magic Association headquarters? Can he also predict the arrival of the Black Tide?'

Su Xiao didn't look at Xiuxiu Luo. He pressed one hand on the temporary coordinate and said: "The node appears every 6 hours. Can it last until the sixth node."

"What on earth are you talking about? Are you really talking to me?"

Xiuxiu Luo looked around, pretending to be looking for someone else, but in his heart, it was like being struck by lightning. He really wanted to find Caesar now and beat him half to death.

"It seems it can't last. What you are hiding is not important. I only need the node."

"A total of six nodes, this..."

Xiuxiu Luo scratched his head hard. After nearly a minute, he lowered his eyelids and said: "The Black Tide is coming, right in District 5, probably tomorrow at 12 noon. This Black Tide is a falling column tide, it won't spread, it will only spray primitive soul energy downward within a range of a few meters."

After Xiuxiu Luo said this, his eyes stared at Su Xiao. As long as he felt something was wrong, he would immediately fight Su Xiao to the death. Even if the conditions for him to predict the Black Tide were very high, being able to predict this thing was a very dangerous thing in itself.

Originally, Xiuxiu Luo didn't want to say this, but he had his own persistence. He could do anything, good things, bad things, but he had to keep his promise. If he lost even this persistence, then he would really be dead. Having a near-immortal body had a price.

"Saying it too directly, you only need to say that before 12 noon tomorrow, District 5 will gather many people."

Su Xiao looked at Xiuxiu Luo. The opponent could predict the Black Tide, which surprised him a bit. Once this secret was known by people who craved primitive soul energy, Xiuxiu Luo would have nowhere to escape.

"Uh~, that's right. Then just pretend you didn't hear what I just said."

"Hmm."

While speaking, Su Xiao pressed the temporary coordinate in the node and signaled Baja to dispel the space barrier that could block sound around them.

With a *pop*, the space barrier covering a hundred meters around shattered. Xiuxiu Luo was stunned, inexplicably taking half a step back.

"Bai Ye, from the time we met until now, I haven't offended you, right? Recall, my memory is not good. If I have offended you, just say it clearly."

"..."

"Don't be silent, I'm a bit panicked."

"You offended me, *cackle cackle*."

Baja flew over and landed on the small building by the street.

10 minutes later, the second node was successfully seized. Su Xiao didn't plan to leave District 5 tonight. He wanted to see if the third node would also appear here.

The current situation was that whichever side occupied four nodes would be the first to get the World Core. Su Xiao had already occupied two nodes. If he occupied the third one, there would be less than four nodes left, and the Apocalypse Team and the Shaman Team would lose.

Even if those two sides occupied the remaining three nodes, they would just be hurting each other.

At that time, none of the four participating parties would get the World Core, and this World Contention War would end, waiting for the node to appear in this world again, and then a new batch of Seventh-Tier Qiyuezhe + a small number of Eighth-Tier Qiyuezhe would arrive.

So, the third node was very important. If the Apocalypse Team or the Shaman Team got this node, both sides would still have hope of winning.

The night deepened, and time passed second by second. When it was 3 seconds before 12 midnight, a node appeared on the street below Su Xiao, less than 10 meters away from the second node's position.

With a *boom*, a figure more than five meters tall smashed into the nearby building, causing the building to collapse.

*Dong, dong, dong~*

A Qiyuezhe like a small giant walked toward the node. His name was Heaven's Punishment, an Eighth-Tier Qiyuezhe from the Apocalypse Paradise.

Not far from Heaven's Punishment stood a slim woman wearing a black long dress, her eyes covered with a black cloth strip. Judging from the emblem on the woman's dress, this was a person from the Healing God Church.

"Is it them."

The black-dressed woman stood on the half-collapsed wall, holding a straight staff in her hand, with several large gems embedded in this staff.

Seeing this black-dressed woman, Xiuxiu Luo's eye corner twitched.

"It's them. Trouble you. You deal with the Undead Xiuxiu Luo, I'll take the other one."

Heaven's Punishment moved his shoulders while walking. An invisible chain shattered behind him, and his aura skyrocketed by a large margin.

"Good."

The black-dressed woman leaped lightly, her high heels stepping on the street surface. She raised her hand and tore off the black cloth strip on her eyes, revealing eyes like red gems.

"Bai Ye, let's switch. You deal with that woman, I'll deal with the 'gorilla'."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, drawing the long blade from his waist. At this moment, the masked man Bas brought several secret mages and walked out from the street corner.

"It's really lively tonight."

An old man wearing a micrometer on his eyes walked out of the shop on the right side of the street. His entire skull was basically a metal structure, his left arm was a mechanical prosthetic limb. This was a person from the Steam Alliance, the representative of the Steam Alliance in the City of Smoke, Iron Skull Kiplin.

The Magic Association, the Healing God Church, and the Steam Alliance all arrived, plus the Eighth-Tier Qiyuezhe Heaven's Punishment from the Apocalypse Team, and the Black Tower represented by Su Xiao, five parties gathered.

The people from the Magic Association and the Steam Alliance didn't just arrive; they had been hiding nearby since 9 PM.

Su Xiao speculated that these people were not attracted by the node. Otherwise, they would have come to District 5 long ago. It was the Black Tide, the Black Tide about to arrive in District 5, that attracted these people. They were waiting in advance for the Black Tide to arrive at 12 noon tomorrow.

This also explained one thing, which was that Xiuxiu Luo was not as special as imagined. There were others who could predict the arrival of the Black Tide, and the way they predicted it was more perfect than Xiuxiu Luo's.

Iron Skull Kiplin walked slowly, a burst of steam spraying from the mechanical prosthetic limb on his left arm. He looked around at everyone present and said:

"Old friend Bas, and the Red-Eyed Woman of the Healing God Church, Bai Ye and Xiuxiu Luo of the Black Tower, that friend, you are called Heaven's Punishment, right? Sigh, none of them are easy to deal with."

Iron Skull Kiplin sighed, and in a narrow alley dozens of meters away, the Holy Domain shaman who lost his teammate leaned against the wall. He knew he had been sensed. Continuing to hide was meaningless; instead, he would be targeted. It was better to appear in person and make a grand appearance as the sixth party, which would be more prestigious.

"*Cough! *"

The Holy Domain shaman coughed dryly and walked out of the narrow alley. Hearing his dry cough, Iron Skull Kiplin glanced at him.

"A small character came."

After Iron Skull Kiplin glanced at the Holy Domain shaman, he ignored him. Sensing this, the Holy Domain shaman's anger surged in his heart, but after looking around at the few people present, he calmed down and silently retreated back into the dark narrow alley. If he had known, he wouldn't have come out. ===== CHAPTER 2824 =====
