Chapter 2877: Everything Can Be 'Friendly Forces

~10 min read 1,815 words

Golden dust particles floated around Su Xiao. He held his breath and rushed to the door of the Gallery in a few steps.

Successfully killing more than a hundred Royal Handmaidens in an instant resulted in more than four-fifths of the area in the inner hall being covered in golden light particles. Being touched by these golden light particles was far more intense than being scorched by the 'Sun'.

【Reward settlement completed.】

【You have obtained Pure White Feather x15 (Holy Spirit Grade, Consumable Material).】

【You have obtained Soul Coins x619.】

【You have obtained Sun Contract (Bloodline/Profession Item. After signing this contract, you will immediately arrive inside the 'Holy Sacrifice Hall'. After offering 25 Soul Crystals (Complete), you will become a Sun Warrior).】

【Sun Warrior: High survivability, melee characteristics, possesses a small amount of mid-range combat ability, possesses a small amount of recovery ability.】

【Profession Potential: A (Bloodline/Profession Inheritance Item, potential is E~S+).】

There were three types of rewards. 【Pure White Feather】 was a material, not used for forging equipment, but a material to assist light-characteristic abilities. For example, when using a healing ability with light characteristics, one could consume this thing to significantly increase the strength of the ability.

【Sun Contract】 was a good thing. Although Su Xiao couldn't use it himself, he could sell it. Profession items with A potential were very rare. Last time he obtained 【Ice Vein Enlightenment】, it was only A- potential, and it emptied the team funds of the God Emperor Adventure Group.

Su Xiao didn't know what a Sun Warrior was. He had only encountered Sun Warriors.

After the golden dust particles in the inner hall dissipated somewhat, Su Xiao walked toward the short corridor on the opposite side. Passing through this short corridor was the middle hall.

Passing through the short corridor, the light ahead became somewhat dim. Stone pillars stood in the middle hall, and Su Xiao hid behind a stone pillar.

No enemies were seen in the middle hall, but if one looked at the ceiling, one could see vines covered in sharp thorns.

Su Xiao picked up a half-pottery jar nearby and threw it toward the hanging vines. The pottery jar smashed against a vine and then shattered on the ground with a slap.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao's eyes revealed doubt. In his perception, these vines were both dangerous and had no offensive capability, which was very contradictory.

Clang.

A slash light flashed by, and a hanging vine was slashed off. After landing, it twisted like a snake. After a few seconds, it didn't move, and a wisp of black gas drifted out.

This black gas had the feeling of Ancient God energy. Su Xiao looked at the large patch of vines on the ceiling. There shouldn't be any danger here. The Priest had been here and absorbed all the power stored within these vines.

Looking at the appearance, the other party was harvesting leeks, not absorbing them all at once, preparing to raise these vines before coming to absorb them again.

The Priest first became a law-breaker, then entered the Holy Land, just to absorb the energy within these vines? Su Xiao felt that this was unlikely.

Picking up the already broken vine on the ground, Su Xiao felt a trace of Sun Power within it. This Sun Power was very special, different from that in the bodies of Sun Warriors. Right now, the Sun Power in this vine, after the transformation of the plant, possessed a unique life characteristic.

"So you wanted this thing."

Su Xiao looked at the hole in the ceiling. Through this hole, he saw the 'Sun' above. He thought of what the Priest was plotting. If that guy wouldn't be burst, the power obtained was indeed worth becoming a law-breaker.

"Boss, is the Priest going to get that thing above down?"

Baja was somewhat shocked. It felt somewhat incredible about the thing the Priest was plotting.

"Not get it down, he is going to fly up."

Su Xiao took out the Scorching Sun Disk from his bosom. This key wasn't what he needed. There were two major power systems in the Holy Land: Darkness (Soul Energy) and Sunlight. He was about to fight against Darkness and had no time to explore things related to Sunlight.

Or rather, he couldn't explore it either. He had already become hostile to the 'Sunlight Faction'. From the moment he chose to kill that Sun Warrior in the dungeon, this point couldn't be changed.

Back in the dungeon, when Su Xiao killed the Sun Warrior, the Priest just watched, seemingly having no interest in the kill reward. Now it seemed that the other party wasn't uninterested, but couldn't do so.

Su Xiao held the Scorching Sun Disk with both hands and snapped it with all his strength, breaking the Scorching Sun Disk into two segments. Blinding golden energy drifted out from within, and was sucked into a space vortex.

Keys were very difficult to completely destroy. This was a product of the wisdom of the Ganglu Dynasty. Su Xiao felt that perhaps in a short time, the Scorching Sun Disk would re-form somewhere in the Eastern Continent.

Casually throwing the broken Scorching Sun Disk to the side, a few seconds later, the vague sense of peeping from diagonally above disappeared.

The reason Su Xiao broke the Scorching Sun Disk was that he wanted the Priest to be busy running around for a period of time afterward. The Scorching Sun Disk was useful to the Priest, but not something that must be obtained; otherwise, the Priest would have already appeared again.

At the same time, above the King's Palace, vines were wrapped around the Priest, and his eyes opened.

"Already discovered? Can't delay any longer."

The Priest looked at the 'Sun' above. Right now, the Scorching Sun Disk was destroyed, and his shortcut was cut off. Originally, his plan was that after completing a certain thing, if time was sufficient, he would participate in the game between Su Xiao and Rogesh. Right now, it seemed he couldn't spare the time.

Inside the middle hall, Su Xiao first scouted the situation of the front hall. The layout of the front hall was similar to the middle hall, with an area about one-third smaller.

From the residual aura fluctuations in the front hall, Sun Warriors were originally stationed here. For some reason, the Sun Warriors here were transferred away. There weren't many people who could do this in the Royal Palace right now, and it was highly likely Rogesh did it.

After scouting the situation of the front hall, Su Xiao returned to the middle hall. On the walls on the left and right sides of the middle hall, there was a giant door on each side. The door of the left side hall was half-open, while the door of the right side hall was locked tight.

The last Soul Skeleton was in these two side halls. Su Xiao walked toward the left side hall.

After entering, Su Xiao saw pits and gravel all over the ground. A battle had occurred here.

A broken chain hung in mid-air. Below the chain was a large pit, covered in splashed bloodstains.

Fist-sized holes were distributed on the inner wall, totaling hundreds. Seeing these traces, Su Xiao judged that a total of two battles had occurred in the left side hall.

One was a crushing battle, where one side killed the other in an instant, and the flesh and blood fragments of the loser left large patches of holes on the wall.

Compared to this battle, the other one was much more intense, like a crazy beast rampaging. The strange thing was that the one being attacked didn't resist much and had been passively beaten.

The battle ended abruptly after one side smashed out a huge pit. Su Xiao used his index finger to dip some blood in the pit, rubbed it with his fingers, and fine iron-sand-like energy drifted out.

"Is this where Rogesh succeeded?"

Su Xiao wiped the blood off his finger. He couldn't judge too specifically. Rogesh didn't cover up the battle traces here, which meant that everything that happened here, even if exposed, wouldn't be enough to affect the other party.

After searching for a while in the left side hall, Su Xiao didn't find the Soul Skeleton. Then there were only two possibilities: 1. The Soul Skeleton in the King's Palace was destroyed by the Priest, 2. The Soul Skeleton was in the right side hall.

The last Soul Skeleton was very important to Su Xiao. He inferred that activating all the Soul Skeletons should produce different changes.

After leaving the left side hall and passing through the middle hall, Su Xiao arrived before the door of the right side hall, easily picking the lock, and pushed open this metal door.

Dust fell from the crack of the door. Su Xiao stopped after pushing the metal door to a crack wide enough to pass through, and looked inside.

The layout of the right side hall was similar to the left side hall. White faint light shone through from the corner. Seeing this faint light, Su Xiao felt relieved in his heart. The result he feared most was that the last Soul Skeleton had already been destroyed by the Priest.

After entering the right side hall, he didn't walk a few steps before stopping. In the center of the right side hall, a Great Axe Brother was sitting there sleeping soundly.

This Great Axe Brother wore iron-black full-body armor, the surface of the armor covered in dark golden sun patterns, and the center of the axe head of the long-handled giant axe seemed to be embedded with a small sun.

If the Great Axe Brother in the 'City Wall Basement' was a low-end version for the poor, then this Great Axe Brother at this time was a luxury top-end version. Fighting a dozen Sun Warriors alone, he absolutely wouldn't be weak.

If he fought this Great Axe Brother, Su Xiao had the confidence to win, but right now it wasn't a question of whether he could win. His death battle with Rogesh was inevitable, and whether it was worth taking action in this place was the key.

"Boss, let him spin around with the magic of love?"

Baja took out a few alchemy bombs, preparing to repeat the old trick. Bubu Wang also took out a few, as it had long discovered the joy in it, and this time prepared to join in.

"No, let him go deal with Rogesh."

Su Xiao took out an item from his storage space. The weakness of the Great Axe Brother was low intelligence, which was being lowered by the 'Sun'. If it was the same as what he envisioned, he could make this Great Axe Brother go find Rogesh to fight to the death. ===== CHAPTER 2878 =====
