Chapter 2958

After a tragic fight, the situation in the Fungal Wetland started to become clear. After 295 Cursed Ones were killed in action, only 7 giant crocodiles were left.

These giant crocodiles' strength was too strong. One bite, and the Cursed One would be half-crippled if not dead. And after being injured, they would be eroded by fungi, which was even more fatal. Now, a large number of mushrooms were floating on the water surface.

The current battle result was established on the basis that Su Xiao solved the giant crocodile leader. Otherwise, a greater price would have to be paid to clean up the Fungal Wetland.

Killing these giant crocodiles, Su Xiao obtained a total of 1665 soul coins. Killing each giant crocodile could obtain 35–38 soul coins. This reward was very generous, but there was one point: there was no treasure chest drop. This was a major disadvantage of human-sea tactics.

If it were the human-sea tactics achieved through the Insect Sister Jila, the treasure chest drop rate wouldn't be so miserable. It was a pity that most worlds weren't suitable for Insect Sister Jila. The Demon Zerg were "too capable of eating." Without enough biological energy, they couldn't develop at all; instead, they would be dragged down by the consumption of the main insect nest.

The Cursed Ones surrounded the seven giant crocodiles. A strange scene appeared. These giant crocodiles hadn't attacked since just now. From those still brutal gazes, these guys hadn't surrendered.

Su Xiao stepped forward. He had just approached within a few meters of a giant crocodile when the crocodile lowered its head. It wasn't fear or terror, but more like a kind of awe.

Su Xiao walked sideways for a few steps, and the giant crocodile in front of him also turned its body, then lowered its head to Su Xiao again.

*Bang. *

Su Xiao kicked straight. The giant crocodile in front of him rolled far away in the muddy water, then looked at Su Xiao angrily. After a while, it came to Su Xiao's front again and lowered its head.

This made Su Xiao think of the prompt he received after killing the giant crocodile leader: "You have achieved the world achievement: Crocodile's Awe."

This was the first time Su Xiao had encountered such a thing. These giant crocodiles hadn't submitted, nor had they turned into temporary summons. The attitude they displayed was: kill if you want to kill, but it doesn't hinder them from respecting the existence that defeated the leader.

Right now, there were two choices: kill them all to obtain soul coins, or keep them first to see if these giant crocodiles would have other uses later.

While Su Xiao was pondering, a giant crocodile used its tail to break a dead tree, as if expressing something, and crawled toward the depths of the swamp.

"Xiang Bubu, what did it express?"

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang understood the giant crocodile's meaning. Xiang Bubu could communicate with most animals; even ordinary little birds were willing to get close to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Every time it entered a world with vast forests, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could make many animal friends, among which were proud camels, "chatterbox" swans, Frog Brother, etc.

Of course, Xiang Bubu also had enemies in the forest: the enemy of a lifetime, the wasp.

"Mushroom Prophet?"

After Su Xiao understood what Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang expressed, he discovered that the Island of Eternal Life wasn't just a wild land.

Following the giant crocodile in front, Su Xiao gradually penetrated deep into the Fungal Wetland. The muddy water under his feet became shallower, and intertwined tree trunks and moss appeared. The trees started to become tall, with the shortest being dozens of meters high and the tall ones over a hundred meters. The tree crowns were tightly connected, completely blocking the sunlight.

The depths of the Fungal Wetland weren't dim. Many glowing plants grew here, emitting fluorescent green or blue light. Fireflies flew, and glowing colorful butterflies danced. This scene was like a forest fairyland.

"Gugu gu."

A faint sound appeared. It was a pale cyan mushroom. As if because of the arrival of Su Xiao and the others, the "residents" here were alarmed. Mushrooms drilled out of the mud one by one. They couldn't move, but they would make *gugu gu* sounds.

"Traveler of the forest, welcome to the Spore Forest."

A door opened on a tree trunk nearly ten meters thick. A mushroom man with a mushroom head and green beard walked out. It had hands and feet, walking tremblingly.

"Fishy-Scaled Crocodiles actually have no malice. Their nature is just like this. This is our nature."

The Mushroom Prophet leaned on a fluorescent green branch cane. This cane was a head taller than its height.

【Prompt: The Hunter has found the Mushroom Prophet. This is an absolutely neutral unit.】

【This neutral unit has signed a contract with the Tree of the Void. Hunter, please do not harm or kill this target.】

【Hunter can consume soul coins or soul crystals to reach a transaction with the Mushroom Prophet, or refuse this transaction. After passing through the Spore Forest, the Hunter will arrive at the Island of Eternal Life, Central Area.】

"Travelers, are you here to pursue the Primordial Water? You must not drink too much. Greed will bring bad things. Come into the house. I have some good things that I can sell to you, but don't rob this poor old mushroom man."

The Mushroom Prophet waved its hand at a very slow speed and walked into the tree-hole house.

Seeing this, Su Xiao stepped forward. The door was a bit low. After he bowed and entered, he found that the tree-hole house was very spacious, with the ceiling over two meters high, so he wouldn't hit his head. The walls were covered with many glowing plants.

The Mushroom Prophet sat at the very back of the small house. It was a native of the Demon Sea world, but it had signed a contract with the Tree of the Void.

Under normal circumstances, the Mushroom Prophet should have left this world long ago. Thinking about it, it should be reluctant to leave, reluctant to part with the little mushrooms of the Spore Forest, or it occasionally left to go to other worlds to trade with contractors, hunters, battle angels, etc., and was currently resting at home.

"Just take a look. There are also good things from other worlds. I accept both soul coins and soul crystals. Traveler, do you come from Reincarnation Paradise?"

The Mushroom Prophet was very kind; this was a feeling of being indifferent to fame and wealth.

Su Xiao had encountered such existences once each in the Moon God's Underground Palace and the God's Original Township: the old woman selling water in the Moon God's Underground Palace and the blind old man in the God's Original Township.

Compared to the first two, the Mushroom Prophet encountered right now shouldn't be comparable in terms of combat power. The Mushroom Prophet belonged to that kind of ancient but not powerful existence. However, killing it should be very difficult.

The Mushroom Prophet's hand pulled beside it, and several rows of shelves were pulled out of thin air, with various items placed on them.

【Purchase list activated. You can purchase the following items (total 107 items).】

【Prompt: The prices of items sold in this list are significantly lower than the transaction prices between contractors.】

1. God Spirit Bone (Immortal-grade)

Stock: 1

Price: 2500 soul coins (super low price clearance).

2. World Key

Stock: 1

Price: 2100 soul coins (super low price clearance).

3. Ancient Killing Ring (Holy Spirit-grade ring)

Prompt: The effect of this equipment is extremely powerful, even exceeding most Immortal-grade equipment, but during the process of equipping, once attacked, this equipment will be permanently damaged and cannot be repaired.

Stock: 1

Price: 1700 soul coins.

4. Life Source

Stock: 1

Price: 5000 soul coins (lowest price clearance).

The first four items just happened to empty most of the soul coins in Su Xiao's hands, leaving only a thousand or so. Could this be a coincidence? Su Xiao felt it was impossible; such a good thing wouldn't happen in the world.

"Reason?"

Su Xiao looked at the Mushroom Prophet in front. The Mushroom Prophet was still that kind and amiable look.

"I have seen many worlds collapse, Ancient Gods, the withering of natural elements, the spread of dead silence, countless living beings die. They all have wisdom, ideals, people they care about, things they crave. Just in an instant, everything collapses into dust, everything returns to nothing, and the originally beautiful things only leave residue.

I won't go to other worlds anymore. Maybe in a few thousand years, I will die of old age here. What use do these precious things still have for me?

Law-Exterminator, the number of living beings you have killed makes me terrified. You are evil, a slaughterer and butcher full of blood. But ah, compared to living beings being slaughtered, the world still exists, that is enough. It is also quite good to let the slaughterer kill all those evils that erode the world, don't you... think so, Law-Exterminator of Shadow from Reincarnation Paradise."

The Mushroom Prophet seemed to be smiling.

Su Xiao looked at the Mushroom Prophet. He always felt that the symbol composed of scars on the top of the other party's head looked familiar. He had seen this symbol on a certain blade.

Suddenly, Su Xiao remembered that this symbol composed of scars was exactly the seal on Marv Waltz's saber.

"Do you recognize Marv Waltz?"

"This..."

"Thank him for me."

"Mm..."

The Mushroom Prophet stopped talking. Its words just now were all nonsense. After all, it had been beaten up and almost thrown into a ruin world by a few unscrupulous guys. This was very shameful, especially that sentence: "Mushroom, sell things cheaper when you see a Law-Exterminator in the future, otherwise I'll stew you into soup and feed it to the dogs."

These things, the Mushroom Prophet absolutely couldn't say them out loud. As an ancient existence, it wanted face very much. Three months ago, the Mushroom Prophet had been to other worlds.

Su Xiao looked at the items in the list. He felt this was very rare. For the first time in so long, he had obtained convenience because of his status as a Law-Exterminator. In the past, he had always encountered enemies of Law-Exterminators, especially a certain female Law-Exterminator who had the most enemies.

The soul coins were very sufficient. Su Xiao prepared to buy those four items.

【You have obtained God Spirit Bone (Immortal-grade).】

【You have obtained World Key.】

【You have obtained Ancient Killing Ring (Holy Spirit-grade ring).】

【You have obtained Life Source.】

【You have paid 11300 soul coins.】

The accumulated soul coins instantly bottomed out. Overall, he made a huge profit this time, especially the 【Life Source】. This was a very high-tier item. White Cow never refused this, wanting as much as there was.

Bidding farewell to the Mushroom Prophet, Su Xiao took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha, as well as a group of Cursed Ones, and walked toward the inside of the Spore Forest.

After walking for about half an hour, a faint light appeared in the dense forest in front. It was sunlight shining in through the leaves.

Out of the dense forest, some dazzling sunlight made Su Xiao narrow his eyes. The front suddenly opened up. The central area of the Island of Eternal Life was a vast basin terrain, and a ring river a few meters wide wrapped the central area inside.

【Warning: Hunter has entered the world's super high-risk area: Island of Eternal Life, Central Area, Ring Basin.】

Su Xiao looked into the basin from afar. He could vaguely see a mountain peak. Inside that mountain peak, which was about three hundred meters high and extended for several kilometers, there was a cave where the Primordial Water and the ultimate boss were.

Su Xiao had always wanted to figure out one question: was the Primordial Water explosion-resistant? If it was explosion-resistant, then he had a bold plan.

Duke's forces, Empress's forces, Underworld Wolf, Alec, double-poison combination (heavily injured), Warden team, etc. —these people besieging that ultimate boss was an inevitable situation, and Su Xiao would also participate in it.

If the Primordial Water was explosion-resistant, then when these people were besieging the ultimate boss and fighting fiercely, what would happen if he threw an 【Apollo of the Burning Sun】 into that cave?
