Chapter 2871: The Correct Way to Open the Ouroboros Stone Tablet

Su Xiao checked the Spirit Shop, and after looking around, he found that the newly available exchange items were not particularly suitable for him. The good news is that the price of 【Soul Scythe·Judgment】 has been reduced.

If Su Xiao waited until now to exchange 'Chiliad Language', he could probably save about 10 to 20 Spirit Coins, but dismantling the mechanism on the city wall is based on information provided by Wu Qi, as well as the ability of Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Proceeding along the city wall, after walking about half a kilometer, Su Xiao saw the sloping ladder leading down to the city wall, with Wu Qi already waiting below at the front.

Below the city wall, Wu Qi was making hand signals, meaning to wait a moment, he would lure away the nearby things, and then come back to meet Su Xiao to jointly kill Rogesh.

Wu Qi appears rash and hot-tempered, but this guy is not stupid; as for dealing with Rogesh, to Wu Qi, this might just be a casual thing to do, he is really too bored, and hearing that an old enemy has returned to the Holy Land, his eyes glow green, that reaction clearly means: 'There's this? Must kill him, just in time to relieve boredom.'

Su Xiao watched Wu Qi gradually disappear from sight; teaming up with this guy to deal with Rogesh is not reliable, but he needs a guide, and this is sufficient.

Not long after, a series of roars came from below the city wall; Wu Qi charged ahead, and figures with full-body flames followed behind him, at least several hundred, these fire monsters are utterly mindless, leaping about on buildings of uneven height.

The direction Wu Qi fled toward is the city gate; this bastard holds a grudge, preparing to lure the monsters inside the royal city to the city gate to trap the Sun Warriors guarding there.

Ignoring Wu Qi, Su Xiao descended the city wall along the sloping ladder.

【Prompt; You have arrived at 'Chiliad Royal City'.】

Jagged spired buildings appeared in Su Xiao's field of view; the architecture of the royal city is solemn and magnificent, with two tallest buildings in the distance, one being the Bell Tower, the other seemingly the palace.

Having penetrated this far, Su Xiao is already very close to the central area of the Holy Land; he decided to go to the palace, where the former guild leader·Huguro was.

No matter what, upon arriving there, the second loop of the promotion mission will be completed; Su Xiao guesses that the third loop of the promotion mission might be related to the dark side, of course, it could also be something else.

Su Xiao walked between the buildings, advancing several hundred meters or so, when Wu Qi, with a smile on his face, returned.

"Wu Qi, you previously said the Ouroboros Stone Tablet is special?"

"Of course it's special; among the five Holy Land Keys, except for the 'Repentance Thorn Whip' which is useless, the others are good things, otherwise how could they have been remade into keys, the Prophet Stone Tablet……no, the Ouroboros Stone Tablet is alive, weren't you deceived by it?"

"Alive?"

Su Xiao entered a building; this place is very empty, with rotted tables and chairs collapsed into a pile.

"Yes, alive, I was deceived by it."

Wu Qi also entered the building, plunged his greatsword into the ground, took out the remaining half of an apple, and continued eating.

"How to activate the Ouroboros Stone Tablet?"

Su Xiao tapped the Ouroboros Stone Tablet, but he did not sense the breath of living things inside it.

"Hit it, hit it to death."

"Oh?"

Su Xiao threw the Ouroboros Stone Tablet to the ground, drew his blade, and stabbed toward the center of the tablet.

"Don't break it! Hit with fists……"

Before Wu Qi finished speaking, the snakes on the Ouroboros Stone Tablet came alive; they did not attack, but retracted into the tablet, and a line of 'Chiliad Language' appeared on it.

'Destroy me, and you will be punished.'

Seeing this text, Su Xiao began to take interest in the Ouroboros Stone Tablet, picked it up, and the text on it changed.

'You are Bai Ye, you come from outside this world, you will die at the hands of the priest, be devoured by the ancient god, even if you have hunted many ancient gods, but you were careless, so you died.'

Su Xiao raised his eyebrows; facing Wu Qi, he had probed his body, he is not interested in others' secrets, just as others cannot ask about his secrets, this is mutual respect.

"Boss, this thing seems a bit sinister, is it a high-grade item?"

Bahar's gaze was somewhat solemn; after all, the Ouroboros Stone Tablet foretold death.

"It foretells death, smash it."

As Su Xiao's words fell, the inscriptions on the Ouroboros Stone changed.

'You cannot destroy me, I am your possibility to live on, the possibility to defeat the priest, he has devoured two of his kind and also the power of an ancient god; follow my instructions, you will become the ultimate victor; first, kill the Sun Warrior opposite you, he is a traitor, a subordinate of Rogesh.'

Seeing these words, Su Xiao and Bahar exchanged glances, then looked toward Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang's meaning is, don't believe this thing, which happens to also be Su Xiao's thought.

At this moment, Wu Qi spoke from the side: "Not good, is it making you kill me? Don't fully believe its words, it has some prophetic ability, I was deceived by it too, the specific process, cough~, not convenient to reveal."

Wu Qi's expression was somewhat awkward; just then, the Ouroboros Stone Tablet displayed more text.

'Sun Warrior·Wu Qi, you will be killed by Rogesh, you were abandoned by him because you are already useless, Rogesh has obtained everything, he took me from your hands, heeded all my omens, so he won.'

Seeing this text, Bahar was somewhat speechless; this stone tablet specializes in cursing people to death, and madly inflates its own prestige, creating a posture where one must listen to it, otherwise all will die.

'First, you need to obtain the Blazing Sun Disc, smash it, pour the powder onto the tablet, then go find the Judgment Scepter, Repentance Thorn Whip, and Heart Flame, let me fuse them; I, am the true Dark Mask, only then, you, Kukulin·Bai Ye, can become my user.'

"Hahaha, this thing is too interesting, is it the Dark Mask? I'm still just a pig Pei Qi."

Bahar laughed heartily; this stone tablet is unexpectedly shameless, to swallow the other keys, it resorts to any means, first intimidating, then enticing.

'Your wisdom makes it impossible for me to deceive you; I, am the true Dark Mask, whether to believe it is up to you; you are very strong, so you have the qualification to use me.'

After producing these texts, the Ouroboros Stone Tablet fell silent, and the Ouroboros pattern on it reappeared.

"Is it saying it is the true Dark Mask? Last time it was this excuse, this broken stone ate my sword."

Wu Qi gritted his teeth in hatred; as his words fell, the Ouroboros Stone Tablet displayed text again, this time appearing with great effort, as if it had previously consumed too much energy.

'The Blazing Sun Disc is nearby.'

Bo~

A ripple spread out; Wu Qi, Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Bahar all felt a momentary daze; shortly after, footsteps were heard, a black court long skirt fluttered, a red-pupiled woman appeared at the door at some unknown time, and beside her was the Death's Shadow·Owya.

'Because you did not heed my omens, you died at the hands of Death's Shadow·Owya, farewell, Kukulin·Bai Ye.'

The Ouroboros Stone Tablet slipped from Su Xiao's hand, fell to the ground with a clack, and Su Xiao's head gradually drooped.

Black smoke spread from Death's Shadow·Owya's long skirt, turning into countless spikes, rushing straight at Su Xiao.

Clang!

Blood spattered, spatial fluctuations dissipated, Su Xiao was already before Death's Shadow·Owya, his long sword slashed over, dragging out a blood-red chain link, Owya's pupils contracted; she had seen Su Xiao and others descending from the city wall half an hour earlier, had been tracking them, and only now made her move.

With a whoosh, black smoke dragged Owya into it and swept toward the red-pupiled woman.

'Blade Path Sword·Time.'

The impact spread, everything around slowed down, the black smoke near Ovia began to move slowly, she now couldn't understand one thing, why Su Xiao was so strong, in Ovia's view, she, Rogesh, the priest, and Su Xiao were all of the same level, due to her own ability's nature, she should be the strongest in one-on-one combat within the Sun Gate squad.

Actually, Ovia was mistaken, she and Rogesh were not of the same level, from the very beginning of cooperation, Su Xiao, the priest, and Rogesh had been suppressing their own auras, she thought she was the strongest, but actually she was the weakest.

A stream of golden flame surged forward, forming a large hand, grabbing Ovia within the black smoke, even penetrating her shoulder, it was Wu Qi making a move, his strength was great, actually slightly stronger than Ovia.

With a tearing sound, the black smoke upon encountering fire dissipated in large patches, having been restrained.

'Blade Dao Knife • Ultimate.'

A flash of cold light passed, if they had clashed head-on, Ovia would not have lost so quickly, unfortunately, she mistakenly believed Su Xiao had already been influenced by the Red-Eyed Woman.

Ovia's headless corpse thudded to the ground, and beside her, the Red-Eyed Woman's body shattered like a mirror.

Su Xiao pressed one hand against his lower abdomen, blood seeped from between his fingers, he had just endured the enemy's attack head-on, striving for a killing blow, Ovia's strike was exceptionally vicious, condensing the black smoke and piercing through Su Xiao's lower abdomen, he had many organs damaged.

Su Xiao's choice was not wrong, killing Ovia as quickly as possible could avoid much trouble, this was within the capital city of Chilialed.

The appearance of Ovia and the Red-Eyed Woman might be coincidental, but Su Xiao felt it might also be due to the Ouroboros Stone Tablet attracting them.

Su Xiao pressed his still-bleeding abdomen, walking toward the Ouroboros Stone Tablet on the ground, just as he reached it, he saw new text appear on it.

'You cannot destroy me, you will die, you will die…'

'I was wrong, please don't destroy me, I am not the Black Mask, I am the key, I can help you find all treasures in the royal city, southeast, 135 meters to the church, smash the stone carving inside the church, inside there are treasures, you definitely need it, definitely need.'

'You will not die, not, never will.'

'My great, noble master, Kukulin Bai Ye, you need me, I will help you foretell the future.'
