Chapter 2948

Su Xiao looked at the three soul arrows in his hand. The content of the trial mission was simple and brutal: go to the Island of Eternal Life and obtain 'Primordial Water' to complete the first part. This mission only has two parts in total.

Su Xiao knew that he still had a choice. He could choose the easier-to-achieve single-attribute or dual-attribute breakthrough of the 200-point barrier, or he could risk it all for a big gamble, letting his Strength, Agility, Stamina, and Intelligence attributes remain primary attributes even after reaching over 200 points, continuing to develop all four attributes.

In this world, Su Xiao has the Doom. Although the Doom brought a curse, it is also an opportunity. Without needing to deliberate, Su Xiao had already made his choice. He is not afraid of dying on the road to becoming stronger. Everyone has pursuits, and this is what he pursues. It is difficult and dangerous, but the scenery along the way... is quite good.

"Octopus, if I go to the Island of Eternal Life, what do I need to prepare?"

Su Xiao sat on the ship's rail, facing the sea, and lit a cigarette. The sea breeze blew gently, and the smoke was scattered.

"Preparing a life is enough. That place..."

The mental fluctuations of Octopus Brother changed, actually revealing a trace of shock.

"Is the Island of Eternal Life very dangerous?"

Seeing Octopus Brother's appearance, Baja felt a bit uneasy in his heart. After all, Octopus Brother is the King of the Demon Sea. This title is not called for nothing; Octopus Brother has the strength to match it.

"Pfft pfft pfft pfft..."

Octopus Brother's laughter was strange. After laughing for a long time, he said: "I used to be more than four times larger than this ship. After going to the Island of Eternal Life once, I became like this. The stone cup on that island... leaked."

Octopus Brother's expression was a bit bitter. He once dragged a five-masted ship into the seabed, but now, counting his tentacles, if he stretched his body straight, he would only be three meters long. It can be said that he went from a 'sea monster' to 'fresh seafood'. If made into teppanyaki octopus, it wouldn't be enough for many people to eat.

"Damn, it leaked? Is there still Primordial Water?"

Baja was a bit worried, but he didn't know that the problem he was worried about was not a problem at all.

"Is there Primordial Water? Do you really think that stone cup was used to collect Primordial Water? That thing was created by some ancient existence. It is a gift to brave creatures and also a seal, sealing the spring of Primordial Water. The Primordial Water in the stone cup stops after it overflows, and after someone takes it away, it overflows again. It takes a long time for it to overflow each time.

Now that thing has leaked, and the Primordial Water inside is constantly flowing out. Fortunately, there is a small pool below. The Island of Eternal Life no longer has just a cup of Primordial Water; there is a whole pool of Primordial Water there. A pool, do you know? It has this much."

Octopus Brother's tentacles spread out, but because his body size was limited, he couldn't gesture how big the pool on the Island of Eternal Life was.

"Let me tell you this: back then, a great pirate drank a cup of Primordial Water, and he ruled the Demon Sea for a long time. Pfft pfft pfft, guess how many creatures are on that island? By the way, there is good news, which is that the creatures on the island have all mutated."

Octopus Brother had a gloating expression; anyway, he wouldn't go to the Island of Eternal Life.

"In other words, you have been to the Island of Eternal Life?"

Su Xiao exhaled smoke and looked at Octopus Brother meaningfully.

"I have been there, pfft pfft pfft. Even if you roast me, I won't go again!"

Octopus Brother chuckled, but soon his expression gradually became serious, realizing that things were not simple. Not far away, that Minotaur was already about to light the charcoal.

"The Island of Eternal Life, how nostalgic."

Octopus Brother looked at the horizon, saying this with his mouth, but in his heart, he really wanted to slap himself with a tentacle. Why didn't he just get off the ship earlier?

The Doom set sail, and Su Xiao prepared to see just how dangerous the Island of Eternal Life was.

He let Ghost Shadow go to the ship's hold to fetch a large wooden barrel. After filling it with seawater, Su Xiao placed a soul arrow inside.

The soul arrow did not sink to the bottom but floated on the water surface. The arrow body rotated slowly, and when it pointed in one direction, it successfully locked into place. The principle is very similar to a compass.

The voyage was not boring; after all, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was on the Doom, plus Caesar and Octopus Brother were also there, making the ship even livelier.

Winnie, who had just finished her beauty sleep, walked out of the cabin, breathing in the cool sea breeze.

"Where are we going?"

Winnie was in a good mood. Although she was the most timid during battles, as a witch, she had collected many treasures that were rarely seen in ordinary times.

"The Island of Eternal Life."

Baja saw the smile on Winnie's face, and a bit of mischief appeared in his eyes.

"The Island of Eternal Life? Never heard of it. Are we going to blow up an island again? Why did I say 'again'? Sigh~"

"This time it's for sightseeing. Prepare a hot swimsuit, provided that the Demon Sea has swimsuits."

"Of course it does. I'll choose the one I'm most satisfied with when the time comes."

Winnie blinked, beginning to look forward to the Island of Eternal Life.

"The Island of Eternal Life 'tour group' counts you as one spot. There are no tickets there, only..."

Baja didn't continue, his smile becoming unscrupulous. If Winnie boarded the Island of Eternal Life in a swimsuit, just thinking about that scene made him want to laugh.

At the speed of the Doom, it took nearly ten hours to reach the vicinity of the destination.

Su Xiao looked ahead. He didn't see any island, but the three soul arrows had already floated up, all pointing forward.

"We're here."

As soon as Octopus Brother's words fell, the three soul arrows flew out and pierced into the air in front.

Crack, crack...

Cracks like broken glass appeared in the air, and strong spatial fluctuations emerged. After a series of crisp sounds, something like a barrier in front shattered.

The sea surface remained as it was, but an island appeared in front. The island was lush and green, with white sandy beaches at the edge, and the seawater in the surrounding shallow sea was projected into an azure blue by the sunlight.

The Doom stopped a hundred meters from the island. Su Xiao jumped onto a small boat, and Amu was responsible for rowing. The small boat carried Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Baja, Caesar, and Winnie toward the Island of Eternal Life, while the surrounding seawater was filled with shadow-formed Cursed Ones.

Winnie was wearing a light red swimsuit, her golden hair draped down, and there was a small bag beside her. She was applying the juice of some plant to her body to avoid getting a tan.

"..."

Su Xiao looked Winnie up and down, his eyes revealing confusion, while Baja on the side was 'lost in thought', with an expression as if he knew nothing.

The small boat reached the shore, and Winnie was the first to get off, running barefoot onto the beach, in an extremely good mood.

Seeing this, Caesar also got off the boat. As soon as he stepped onto the sand at the edge of the island, he shivered.

"My dear friend, Caesar still has some urgent matters, really urgent matters."

Caesar made a gesture to run back, but under the enthusiastic 'invitation' of Amu and Baja, Caesar was moved by 'friendship'. This guy took out a rag that looked like a tablecloth, put his head through a hole in the middle, and this black, hardened rag covered his whole body, revealing only his head.

The Cursed Ones all materialized on the beach. After passing the beach, the Executioner led the way with a large machete, cutting down banana leaves that were exaggeratedly large.

The vegetation on the Island of Eternal Life was very lush, with many coconut trees at the edge of the island. After passing the beach area, Su Xiao stepped on damp, soft fallen leaves. Surrounded by a dense forest, the air was fresh, and trees grew among the lush vegetation, much taller than those in the outside world.

Colorful birds chirped, and occasionally the calls of monkeys could be heard, making it seem very ethereal.

Su Xiao looked around. Judging from the current situation, apart from the lush plants, no other threats were found on the Island of Eternal Life.

For the sake of safety, Su Xiao brought 600 Cursed Ones and Mad Dog Quike. At this time, this guy had turned into a mad dog with a body length of over five meters and gray-black fur all over its body. It bared its teeth, and a very threatening sound came from its throat.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, stopped, and bumped into Su Xiao's leg, meaning that a creature was approaching.

With a swoosh, an afterimage swept across the tree branches. Almost simultaneously, Su Xiao pressed one hand onto the hilt of his sword at his waist.

Sharp claws pierced into the tree. A creature with dark red skin appeared in front. Its body length was about 4 meters, its flesh and blood were exposed, and dark red tentacles grew on its spine, hanging down nearly two meters long.

This monster's two hind claws and one front claw climbed on the tree. For its nearly 20-centimeter-long sharp claws, the tree trunk was as fragile as tofu. This thing is called a Blood-Sucking Hunter, with a strong sense of territory. This is a forest hunter that has broken through the limits of life and evolved.

"Roar!"

The Blood-Sucking Hunter roared and suddenly disappeared. When it appeared in front of a Cursed One, the tree it had just been on shattered into fragments; the speed was too fast.

The Blood-Sucking Hunter swiped with a claw. The Cursed One raised his hand to block with a hand axe, but it was too late; the Blood-Sucking Hunter's speed was too fast.

Bang!

A muffled sound spread far across the island. Large pieces of flesh and blood fragments shot out like shotgun pellets, piercing through many trees before disappearing into the dense forest.

After smashing half of a Cursed One's body, the Blood-Sucking Hunter crouched down. It extended its tongue full of barbs to lick the black-red blood and flesh fragments on its claws, cleaning them completely in just one lick. This monster had almost incapacitated a Cursed One in one strike.

With a clang, the iron cage containing Mad Dog Quike opened. Mad Dog Quike erupted with a speed no less than that of the Blood-Sucking Hunter and rushed out. The next moment, Quike suddenly appeared in front of the Blood-Sucking Hunter.

Boom! Boom!

The roaring sound spread through the dense forest at the edge of the island, and large trees fell. A moment later, Mad Dog Quike stepped on the Blood-Sucking Hunter on the ground, tearing at its flesh. Because the Blood-Sucking Hunter's body was too tough, its skin was stretched like rubber, and finally snapped with a pop. Mad Dog Quike ate happily, as if the flesh and blood of the Blood-Sucking Hunter had an irresistible temptation for it.

It can be said that Mad Dog Quike is still very capable, solving a Blood-Sucking Hunter in less than a minute.

【Prompt: Your temporary summon has killed a Blood-Sucking Hunter.】

【You have obtained 12 Soul Coins.】

Seeing this amount of Soul Coins obtained, Su Xiao frowned. It wasn't too little, but too much. He had a feeling that on this island, the Blood-Sucking Hunter might not be considered a very powerful existence.

While Mad Dog Quike was enjoying its 'lunch', the sound of sharp claws stepping on fallen leaves came from the front. Another Blood-Sucking Hunter walked out of the dense forest. It had no eyes and was born with perception, an extremely keen perception.

Rustling sounds came from the dense forest, and faint, rapid running sounds could be heard. This sound was dense and light.

"Woo-ooh-woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang rushed out from the side of the dense forest. Those running sounds just now were not made by him.

Seeing Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's terrified little expression, Baja immediately asked: "How many? Dozens?"

"Woof!!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's running didn't stop for a moment. Su Xiao, Amu, Baja, and Caesar turned and retreated. What Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang just said was: 'There are hundreds of Blood-Sucking Hunters in the dense forest. This is the territory of the Blood-Sucking Hunters, and there may be more behind.'

The point is not the hundreds of Blood-Sucking Hunters. If they fought hard, Su Xiao's team, with full combat power and 800 Cursed Ones, could wipe out these hundreds of Blood-Sucking Hunters. Even if the price was painful and the Cursed Ones were almost wiped out, they could still win.

Although the Blood-Sucking Hunter's attack ability is outrageously strong, its defense is not too abnormal. The point Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang wanted to express is that this is the territory of the Blood-Sucking Hunters, and in the dense forest next to them, there are actually 'neighbors'.
