Chapter 2884

The waterfall flows down, and the surrounding rock walls are covered in cracks, with some places blasted open.

Su Xiao sits on a boulder. His injuries have been treated; after drinking the 【Vitality Stock Solution】, the flesh on his chest has regenerated. As for his arms, only one crystal arm remains.

The death battle just now left Su Xiao very tired, but he feels a strange vitality being absorbed by his body, and the fatigue is gradually fading.

Su Xiao looks at the sun in the sky; the sunlight is no longer as blinding as before. Things are still continuing on the Priest's side.

【Hint: You have completed the promotion mission. After returning to Reincarnation Paradise, you will be promoted to an Eighth-Tier contractor.】

【Because the Hunter is located in the Holy Land · Kiliad, the remaining stay time in this world will not be forcibly reduced.】

【The Hunter can continue to stay in this world for 84 hours or return to Reincarnation Paradise immediately.】

……

Seeing these hints, Su Xiao hesitates: should he return to Reincarnation Paradise immediately, or make one last haul?

In his current situation, except for the lack of a left arm, his injuries are recovering continuously after drinking the 【Vitality Stock Solution】. In a few more hours, his combat power will recover to at least 80%. Abilities like Demon Blade have entered a cooldown phase, but he still has the Deathly Silence Arrival ability.

During the fight with Rogesh, Su Xiao did not use Deathly Silence Arrival. With fewer than 10 enemies, the risk of using Deathly Silence Arrival is extremely high, as it might enrage the Dead People.

Su Xiao had activated Deathly Silence Arrival once when there were fewer than 10 enemies, and that time it nearly enraged the Dead People.

Staying in the Holy Land · Kiliad right now actually carries low risk. Su Xiao has obtained the return permission, so even in the middle of a battle, he can force a return.

This way, even though several of his trump cards have been used, the risk he bears is much lower. As for the method to gain benefits, it is simple: kill the lone Sun Warriors.

The kill reward for Sun Warriors is unbelievably high. Su Xiao feels that even after promoting to the Eighth Tier, there won't be such high kill rewards. He is currently Seventh Tier, while the danger level of the Holy Land · Kiliad is Eighth Tier.

With multiple bonuses from unexplored areas, high-level areas, etc., the kill rewards are this high.

Not only that, after killing a Sun Warrior, one can obtain a Saint Spirit-level treasure chest with the suffix "Warrior," from which the Sun Warrior set can be opened.

If it were just this set, while the value is high, it wouldn't reach an exaggerated level. Don't forget, Su Xiao obtained a profession inheritance item called 【Sun Contract】.

After using the 【Sun Contract】, one will arrive at the "Holy Sacrifice Hall," and by offering 25 Soul Crystals (Complete), one can become a Sun Warrior.

A Sun Warrior is likely a higher-tier profession than a Sun Warrior. If a Sun Warrior wears 8 pieces of the 【Sun Warrior Set】, what would happen?

Assuming Su Xiao obtains enough 【Saint Spirit-level Treasure Chest · Warrior】, the probability of opening the Sun Warrior set is not low. Even if he only opens three or five pieces, he can still activate 1 to 2 set effects.

Selling the 【Sun Contract】 + 【Sun Warrior Set】 as a package will multiply the total value of both.

Su Xiao's advantage at this time is that not only can he return to Reincarnation Paradise at any time, but he also knows the terrain of the Holy Land · Kiliad well. Several "Soul Skeleton" teleportation points are a second layer of insurance.

With so many escape methods, not attempting to kill more Sun Warriors is almost equivalent to giving up benefits that are within reach.

Su Xiao will not clash head-on with the Sun Warriors. First, he needs to find terrain favorable to himself; second, Xiang Bubu Wang is responsible for luring them, bringing one Sun Warrior at a time.

The rest is simple: Amu, who has drunk three types of recovery potions, is responsible for holding the front, Baha launches sneak attacks from behind the enemy, and Su Xiao uses 【D · Assassination】 for mid-range attacks.

He hasn't used this silenced pistol for a long time. Although it is a Legendary-level weapon, if used properly, its lethality is not weak.

In the past, Su Xiao was always besieged by elite-level enemies; now, he has the opportunity to besiege the enemy.

Having made up his mind, Su Xiao briefly explains the plan to Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha.

"Boss, where should we choose the location?"

Baha is already eager to try. It felt a bit depressed after being beaten by Rogesh just now, and now it is finally time for it to shine. As an assassination-type, it is definitely the main output.

Su Xiao stays at the Water-Ring Altar for about two hours, burying Uchi's corpse and ignoring the Great Axe Brother's corpse. As for Rogesh's remains, they have turned into a black tree growing within the Water-Ring Altar.

After his injuries stabilize, Su Xiao first rushes to the Kiliad Royal City · Prayer Site, uses the Soul Skeleton there, and teleports to the King's Palace · Right Side Hall.

The black incense smoke fades, and Su Xiao arrives in the Right Side Hall. The large hole the Great Axe Brother smashed in the wall can be used as a door. After he locks the metal door not far away from the inside, this place becomes a siege terrain.

"Woof."

Xiang Bubu Wang barks and runs out of the hall. It is responsible for finding Sun Warriors. Holding a fragment of the Dark Mask, Xiang Bubu Wang's aggro level for the Sun Warriors is absolutely off the charts.

Su Xiao takes out 600 7.62mm hydrogen alloy bullets; these are the bullets for D · Assassination. After his Firearms Master reaches Lv. 5, he can attach Qing Gang Ying energy to the bullets. After the bullets leave the muzzle, the energy loss rate is between 30% and 75%; the closer the distance, the lower the loss rate.

Su Xiao grips a dozen bullets, and blue arcs surge on his crystal-constructed right hand. A few seconds later, he releases his hand, and the bullets in his hand are covered with blue patterns.

Throwing these bullets to Amu, Amu begins to help Su Xiao press the bullets into the empty magazine.

Ten minutes later, the sound of running can be heard faintly.

"Woof!"

Xiang Bubu Wang rushes into the Right Side Hall. As soon as it runs in, it blends into the environment.

A Sun Warrior with armor plates embedded all over his body and golden pupils rushes into the hall. He holds a battle spear, and there is a golden-red ring in the center of his chest.

"Enemy, death."

Sun Warriors are the type who are ruthless and don't talk much. As soon as he enters the hall, he rushes straight at Su Xiao. This is where the effect of the Charisma attribute is highlighted.

"Moo."

Amu greets him in a few steps, left hand holding an Ice Shield, right hand holding the Dragon Heart Axe.

With a clang, the Dragon Heart Axe and the battle spear collide. Although Amu is durable, its strength is lower than the Sun Warrior's.

Sizzle~

Baha's sharp claws sweep across the back of the Sun Warrior's neck, tearing off armor plates while also ripping away a piece of flesh.

Dozens of meters away, Su Xiao raises his gun with one arm, aims, and pulls the trigger.

Pupu pu...

Bullet after bullet hits the Sun Warrior's skull. The area around the Sun Warrior immediately goes quiet; this is the ability of D · Assassination. After hitting the enemy's head, it spreads a silent domain with a diameter of 3 meters.

Not only that, D · Assassination's "Skull Shatter (Passive)" increases bullet attack intensity by 45% after hitting the enemy's head. Coupled with the Qing Gang Ying energy attached to it, the damage caused is quite considerable.

Several bullets are embedded in the Sun Warrior's skull. He swings the battle spear in his hand, forcing Amu back, and then rushes straight at Su Xiao with astonishing momentum.

With a "pu" shot, the bullet leaves a spiral wind trail in the air and hits the Sun Warrior's knee, slowing his speed.

Pu, pu, pu.

Three more shots to the head, and then he is out of bullets. The magazine capacity of D · Assassination is 12 rounds. Su Xiao ejects the magazine, and Xiang Bubu Wang on the side picks up the new magazine.

Heavy footsteps come from in front of Su Xiao. Ice spreads, and the rushing Amu swings an axe horizontally, nearly knocking the Sun Warrior to the ground. Baha also appears behind the Sun Warrior.

Su Xiao raises the muzzle again and fires a shot into the Sun Warrior's eye socket.

Ten minutes later, with more than 40 bullets embedded in his head, his neck nearly torn to shreds, and his whole body covered in frost, the Sun Warrior falls with a thud.

【Hint: You have killed a Sun Warrior.】

【You have obtained 1.27% World Origin.】

【You have obtained 102 Soul Coins.】

【You have obtained a Saint Spirit-level treasure chest · Warrior.】

……

Compared to the last time he killed a Sun Warrior, the World Origin obtained is much less, and the amount of Soul Coins is similar. Su Xiao speculates that the Sun Warrior in the dungeon should be an existence similar to a guide. When he killed that opponent, there was a name in the kill hint, which already explained many problems.

Unfortunately, Su Xiao hadn't mastered the Holy Land language at the time and missed that opportunity. There is no help for that; he cannot be perfect in everything.

The battle ends. Su Xiao being able to kill a Sun Warrior at such a low cost is an accumulated advantage. He knows the terrain here well enough, plus he defeated Rogesh and held off major enemies like the Priest.

Otherwise, Su Xiao would never have lured a Sun Warrior to kill him in this way; the risk is too high. If Rogesh were still alive, once discovered by him, a large group of Sun Warriors would come.

With this beginning, Su Xiao's team is more experienced in besieging Sun Warriors. The only problem is that lone Sun Warriors are not easy to find.

Su Xiao is currently injured, Amu is no better, Baha is about the same, and Xiang Bubu limps slightly when running. In this state, choosing to fight multiple Sun Warriors at the same time is a very unwise choice.

Therefore, Su Xiao spends most of his time waiting, but it is worth it. A full 14 hours of waiting and besieging has lured 10 Sun Warriors and killed them.

Amu is almost on fire at this point. The reason is that after being injured by a Sun Warrior, one will suffer a continuous "Fire Burn" effect, taking 26 points of real fire burn damage per second. This state lasts for nearly three hours.

Su Xiao now understands why the Priest kept drinking recovery potions after being injured by a Sun Warrior.

Besides this, Su Xiao also remembers the "Exemption Physique" in the Soul Shop. This physique is used to reduce "Fire Burn" damage.

If one prepares to fight Sun Warriors in the Holy Land for a long time, one must obtain this physique.

Right now, it is unnecessary, as he only deals with one Sun Warrior at a time. Moreover, Amu's "Ice Flame Life (Ultimate Ability Lv. 30 · Passive)" means the lower its own HP, the stronger its recovery power.

"Boss, did you hear any sound?"

Baha speaks, listening quietly to the movement in the distance.

"Woo-ooh~"

Xiang Bubu Wang runs over. It performs a U-shaped arc drift, drifting in from the large hole in the wall, and then slams its head into the inner wall. This wall collision is quite difficult.

"Going back."

Su Xiao stands up from the ground and activates the return permission.

The current situation is that Xiang Bubu Wang really cannot find any lone Sun Warriors. There are quite a few Sun Warriors in the Royal City; for example, on the "King-Sealing Road" in the Royal City, there are hundreds of Sun Warriors guarding it.

Su Xiao has maximized the benefits he can obtain. As for other places where he could benefit, in his current situation, he simply cannot explore them. According to the information he already knows, there are at least five more boss-level enemies in the Holy Land.

1. The female big boss in the gallery.

2. Beneath the stone platform in the Holy Sacrifice Hall, a corpse is suppressed. It should be the monarch of the Gonlu Dynasty. Once the stone platform is destroyed, this is also a powerful big boss.

3. Among the hundreds of Sun Warriors on the King-Sealing Road, there is a Sun Warrior in dark golden armor, who is also a boss-level unit, with strength not weaker than the gallery boss.

4. In the locked cage of the Pain Dungeon, there is a giant beast, which is also a boss-level unit.

5. At the Kiliad Royal City · Prayer Site, behind the wooden house, there is a nun's corpse, which gives people a dangerous feeling.

That's right, the Holy Land · Kiliad is such a dangerous place. In reality, this is a cage, binding these monsters within it. Any one of them reaching the Eastern Continent would cause catastrophic results.

Su Xiao's body gradually becomes translucent, and the sensation of teleportation appears.

【Teleportation begins; you are about to return to Reincarnation Paradise.】
