Chapter 2835: Danger

Slash marks were distributed in the surroundings. A corpse slashed into two halves collapsed on the steel rail. In the nearby ice, a female contractor was frozen, maintaining a lunging posture.

Dragon Flash had already pierced through Blue Knight's head. Su Xiao stepped on Blue Knight's shoulder with one foot and pulled out his long blade.

These three Death Paradise contractors were not weak. Amu held back the healing-type, while Su Xiao dealt with the tank-type Blue Knight and the assassination-type.

As Su Xiao pulled out his long blade, Blue Knight collapsed to the ground with a *thud*. Being in the Tier 7 mid-to-upper tier, he was of course no match for Su Xiao.

There was a loss in the battle; the orbital train was blasted into scrap. Now, he needed to walk to reach the ancient capital of the Ganglu Dynasty.

【You have killed Some Qiyuezhe 15**77.】

【You have killed Some Qiyuezhe 18**22.】

【You have killed Some Qiyuezhe 19**13.】

【You have killed Some Qiyuezhe 12**10.】

【You have obtained 14 points of Samsara Paradise Merit.】

【You have obtained Scarlet Medal x4.】

The harvest was quite good. Su Xiao took out the map to check the orientation and then marched toward the destination. The enemy in the distance had already been dealt with by Bahamut.

Marching all the way to the south side, about dozens of kilometers away from Baida City, Su Xiao saw large-scale battle traces. At least 30+ contractors had fought here.

Su Xiao really wanted to know one question: whether the Apocalypse Paradise side and the Death Paradise side had already temporarily united to surround and attack his side.

This was a very likely thing to happen. Once his side successfully set up the world coordinate, the other three parties would lose.

Without considering whether the Apocalypse Paradise side would pit the Death Paradise side, at the current stage, the two sides uniting was the wisest choice.

Once these two sides united, they would rush to the vicinity of the Ganglu Dynasty's ancient capital. Although they couldn't enter the ancient capital, ambushing near the ancient capital and surrounding and killing his side's contractors who arrived at the ancient capital was a very good choice.

If Su Xiao were the attacking side, he would definitely do this. Before the world coordinate was set up, he would have a decisive battle with the defending side, not giving the defending side a chance to enter the ancient capital at all.

Marching rapidly, a few hours later, the scorching sun roasted the earth. The air above the ground seemed to be twisting, and the sound of cicadas was endless.

Su Xiao stood on the top of a low mountain. A towering cylinder was located a few kilometers ahead. This cylinder seemed to lead straight to the sky. Inside the cylindrical building, there was a spiral staircase. This was the Sun Ladder, the most shocking building left behind by the Ganglu Dynasty.

The ancient capital was right ahead. The Sun Ladder was located on the rear side of the ancient capital, and the Sun Temple was in the central area. According to Bahamut's observation, the Sun Temple had about 7 floors.

"Bai Ye, you guys... are very slow."

A somewhat familiar voice came. Su Xiao turned his head to look. It was the Witch. Her face looked somewhat pale, as if she had just experienced a battle.

"Apocalypse Paradise and Death Paradise are ambushing around the ancient capital?"

Discovering the Witch was injured, Su Xiao thought of this point.

"Not... like that. I this time, cleaned up... a traitor, the Brigade's... traitor."

There was some sadness in the Witch's eyes. She had a decent relationship with the Brigade's No. 5 gray-haired man, but this morning, she watched the other party die with her own eyes, aging rapidly, dying from her ability.

"Leader, discovered, he and the violator..."

"Can't you speak normally?"

"Can't... do it, this is, my ability, caused by... ya~"

Before the Witch finished speaking, she felt a blur before her eyes, then she was lying on the ground, and someone was sitting on her back.

"In other words, this is your leader's order?"

"That's how it is."

The Witch took a deep breath. The double squeezing from front and back made her somewhat breathless.

"The gray-haired man is already a violator?"

Su Xiao sat on the Witch's back; communicating this way was much more convenient, otherwise listening to the Witch speak was too tiring.

"He is already, a... he is already half a violator."

"Listening to you speak, it seems there's no problem anymore."

Su Xiao stood up. The Witch sat sideways on the ground, pushing up her witch hat.

"We are going to, how to enter the ancient capital?"

"Kill our way in."

Su Xiao walked toward the direction of the ancient capital. The Witch behind didn't follow. The opponent seemed to be waiting for something.

"Wait... wait, this, you keep it."

The Witch took out the World Core, pushed it with her index finger, and the World Core floated toward Su Xiao.

"Now, very difficult, to enter the ancient capital, Death Paradise's Angry Dog, Hai Zuo, and Apocalypse Paradise's Morey, bringing many people, around the ancient capital..."

Halfway through the Witch's words, Su Xiao stopped.

"They are guarding around the ancient capital, it's hard to get in."

The Witch retreated a few steps, her speech temporarily returning to normal.

Su Xiao walked toward the ancient capital with big strides. Before long, broken walls appeared ahead.

*Pop~*

Su Xiao passed through a layer of light film. This was a perception layer. He looked left and right, and no enemies attacked. Seeing this, he continued forward for about a hundred meters.

【You have entered the outskirts of the Ganglu Dynasty's ancient capital.】

Successfully entered the ancient capital without encountering Angry Dog, Hai Zuo, Morey, and others.

A few hundred meters away, behind a low wall, a dozen contractors were hiding.

"Why aren't we making a move? Death Paradise doesn't trust us at all, and now they even let the enemy in."

A man wearing rimless glasses spoke angrily.

"Morey, what on earth do you mean?"

"Trouble. If this matter is known by Angry Dog and Hai Zuo, the subsequent cooperation won't go smoothly."

Facing the questioning of her teammates, Morey remained silent. She wouldn't say how strong the enemy was. The reason was that if she told these teammates the enemy's strength, she wasn't sure what these teammates would do, for example... run away.

"Must let one in. Just now I saw with my own eyes, the Witch handed the World Core to this person."

Morey spoke in a deep voice. Hearing this, the dozen teammates near her all wanted to strangle her.

"Don't be naive, you guys. Death Paradise and you and I are cooperating, just wanting us to be cannon fodder. First let the Samsara Paradise side set up the world coordinate. After the seal of the ancient capital is lifted, the coordinate will take at least 3–5 days to complete setting up."

"During this period, we and Death Paradise can truly cooperate. In terms of comprehensive strength, the Death Paradise side is no weaker than the Samsara Paradise side, so the Death Paradise side won't be willing to fail. Also..."

Morey raised her index finger, her smile revealing a mysterious confidence.

"We know how to mine, right? Even if the mission fails, excluding the resources obtained, the penalty is not unacceptable. What do you say?"

"Seems, that's the logic."

"A big shot is a big shot, thinking so much."

"Hahaha, not really."

Morey let out a long sigh of relief in her heart. Her thought was that she had finally fooled them. Leaning against the low wall, she touched her calf. The experience of having her leg broken last time was somewhat unforgettable.

Su Xiao walked in the ancient capital. Apart from being covered in broken walls, there was nothing else too special. The terrain was relatively suitable for melee.

Stopping in front of a broken wall, Su Xiao drew his blade and stabbed it into it.

*Clang! *

The blade tip stabbed in less than a centimeter before being stuck dead. Inside the broken wall, there was a type of energy that made it exceptionally sturdy. Even if he used 【Sun's Fury: Apollo】 to blow it up, it would be difficult to cause too much damage to it. This was the Tree of the Void, as the notary, blessing the ancient capital, making this place difficult to destroy.

After confirming this point, Su Xiao walked toward the front door of the Sun Temple, pushing open a pair of metal doors. These doors were 5 meters wide and nearly 10 meters high.

After checking, Su Xiao found that there was no unknown energy blessing inside these doors, but the wall on the side was blessed.

After walking into the first floor of the Sun Temple, Su Xiao found that it was covered with stone pillars, at least dozens of them.

Eastern Continent, inside the Kubaluk ruins.

A phantom flashed through the underground passage. Looking closely, one would find that this was a cat. After rushing through a corner, it hit the side wall, leaving bloodstains on it.

*Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~*

The sound of a line wheel releasing came from inside the underground passage.

"This cat runs really fast."

"Already hooked. As long as it runs... like this! It will stop."

A man wearing casual clothes pulled the fishing rod in his hand with force, and the released fishing line was immediately pulled taut.

After the corner of the underground passage, Benny, who was running for its life, suddenly felt a piercing pain in its right hind leg, followed by a pulling force.

*Bang. *

Benny hit the wall. It closed its eyes, concentrating its spirit to switch states. As long as it switched to the Hunting Shadow state, even if it couldn't beat them, escaping was no problem. Although the cat form had fast speed, its attack ability was too weak. It knew that except for a certain stupid dog, silly cow, and foolish bird that would let it be, the enemy didn't care about its cat claws.

Just as Benny was about to transform into the Hunting Shadow state, a foot kicked over. Benny broke through a wave of air, hitting the wall again. After leaving a patch of blood on the wall, it fell into the corner. Its soft and clean fur was stuck together by the bloodstains, and the fresh blood spread beneath it.

Benny was hesitating, hesitating whether to do a certain thing. If it did, would it delay the important matter?

"Meow..."

Benny meowed. A stone slab fell to the ground. This was what it had searched for. However, just after finding this thing and before leaving the mechanism area, it encountered a dozen Apocalypse Paradise contractors. These nearly 20 contractors were clearly searching with a purpose, and the target was this stone slab. If it weren't in the mechanism area, she, Miss Benny, would never have been forced into a desperate situation by these people.

Benny wasn't afraid of these people, nor was it afraid of death, but it knew that it couldn't die. Once it died here, someone would come to avenge it, digging three feet into the ground to find the enemy, and then slaughter them one by one. This would delay the important matter.

"Finally gave in. Let me see, are you wild, or what."

A female contractor narrowed her eyes. Soon, the corner of her eye twitched.

"This is a permanent summon of a Samsara Paradise contractor."

"Kill it, dispose of the corpse."

"Hmm."

Hearing these people's words, Benny was a bit helpless. It was just here treasure hunting. Some things, originally she didn't want to do.

The gem on Benny's pendant began to shine. This was the 【Shelter Gem】. The equipment effect was: Shelter Rescue (Active). After activating this ability, the wearer of the equipment would open a spatial crack, teleporting the sheltered person to their side.

*Snap! *

A spatial crack appeared above Benny.

A hand reached out from the spatial crack, grabbing Benny on the ground. As the spatial crack expanded, a pair of pupils revealing red light opened within the pitch-black spatial crack.

*Boom! * Blood energy sprayed out. A group of Apocalypse Paradise contractors all retreated several steps. Their hair was blown up by the blood energy, their whole bodies felt faintly painful, and the expressions on their faces were like seeing a ghost.

Blood energy spread, and the walls in the underground passage cracked with *pitter-patter* sounds, rubble falling everywhere. And at the eruption point of the blood energy, wisps of smoke were spreading along the spatial crack. ===== CHAPTER 2836 =====
