Chapter 3001

The initial faction favorability is very low, and even faction reputation hasn't been unlocked, but that is not important; the purpose of Su Xiao's trip is to kill the Wolf Spider Queen.

Su Xiao decided to act in two teams: one team to search for and kill the Wolf Spider Queen, and the other to contact the insect merchants, using crystal grease ornaments to reach a deal with them, thereby obtaining Immortal-grade gems or other benefits.

Dim light shone down from above the street; many insects do not like strong light, which makes "Anlu" a place that is both dim and peaceful.

Do not think it is safe here; the main tunnel is indeed safe, but if one ventures into the surroundings of "Anlu," there are numerous dangers hidden in the darkness.

Faced with corruption, the resistance of insects is much weaker than that of the human race. The reason the Insect Kingdom can maintain its current order is that the corrupted insects all hate light; even a glimmer of light will make them retreat.

Dim light works best; if strong light is produced, those corrupted insects hidden in the darkness will become completely enraged and rush into the strong light area to wreak havoc.

Su Xiao walked on the street, which is actually an underground tunnel nearly a hundred meters wide and tens of meters high. There are 47 such tunnels in "Anlu," all connected to each other.

The small shops along the street were lively, and the aroma of food drifted over. This aroma was somewhat strange, clearly not the smell that appears after cooking normal ingredients.

It seems that the technology of the Insect Kingdom is more advanced than that of the human race, but in fact, this is not the case. 200 years ago, the human race already had the technology that the insects have at the current stage, but later suffered the dual blow of corruption and civil war, leading to stagnant or even regressive technological progress.

Not long after moving forward, a single-car train drove from the front. Beni was squatting on top of the train, having skipped the fare.

"Meow."

Baha leaped down, its four claws stretched out in mid-air, and finally landed steadily on Amu's face.

Beni's first stop for treasure hunting was the underground kingdom, or rather, in this world, its treasure hunting career had to be put aside for now, and instead, it switched to making money.

Beni had already arrived at the underground kingdom through the Insect Tower yesterday. Its first stop was not "Anlu," but the deeper "Crystal Nest," to contact the insect merchants there.

"Beni, did you find out clearly?"

"Meow."

"Very good."

Su Xiao took seven crystal grease ornaments from his storage space, all of which were adjustable ring ornaments. He had already used alchemy to improve these seven 【Crystal Grease Ring Ornaments】.

It must be said that the manufacturing process of these 【Crystal Grease Ring Ornaments】 is very superb, and the stability is at an excellent level, but they lack external buffs. In this world, the external enhancement for crystal grease ornaments is completely blank, without alchemy, rune studies, etc.

After Su Xiao's improvement, the attributes of these seven 【Crystal Grease Ring Ornaments】 have become:

【Crystal Grease Ring Ornament · Blessing】

Origin: Dark Star World · Gem Street

Quality: Epic ~ Saint Spirit

Effect: Specific Ancient God energy resistance +4 points (increased by 2 points).

It seems like it didn't increase much, but in fact, it is a double difference. Only with comparison is there damage, and it is also easier to sell at a high price.

Not only the seven 【Crystal Grease Ring Ornaments】, Su Xiao also handed 5000 Lang of crystal grease to Beni, letting Beni take these and travel between the "Underground Kingdom" and the Gem Street of "Dank City," so as to open up channels and achieve trade, etc.

That's right, Beni's purpose this time is to earn crystal grease. Once the channel is opened, it can purchase Immortal-grade gems at a super high price. In such a large underground kingdom, Su Xiao does not believe there are no one or two Immortal-grade gems suitable for Zhan Long Shan.

This time is different from treasure hunting. Beni often has to contact insects or craftsmen on Gem Street. Once it earns too much crystal grease, it is inevitable that people will spy on it.

Therefore, Su Xiao decided to let Amu and Beni be in a team. Beni is responsible for doing business, purchasing Immortal-grade gems, etc., while Amu protects with force.

Su Xiao himself took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Baha, and Yueling deep into the underground kingdom, passed through the underground city below to reach the Black Nest, to find and kill the Wolf Spider Queen.

Before long, Amu and Beni disappeared at the end of the street. Su Xiao waited on the street for more than forty minutes.

Boom, boom...

A single-car train drove over. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang raised its paw, and the Golden Beetle driver driving the single-car train controlled the train to stop. After all, with six legs, the train drove very steadily.

Pfft~

Steam sprayed out, and the iron-black train door opened. After getting on the train, Su Xiao threw a few rice-grain-sized crystal grease into the iron box. The butterfly "young lady" guarding the iron box had already fallen asleep.

Most of the people on the train were of the Ant race, which is the most numerous group among insects, followed by the Moth race, the Mantis race, and the Wolf Spider race. As for more, Su Xiao could not distinguish them either.

The system of insect society is too complex, such as prohibiting intelligent species from preying on each other, conflicts between multi-legged and legless species, and the hostility of natural enemy species, etc.

These have nothing to do with Su Xiao. He is about to go deep into the most dangerous area of the underground kingdom.

The scenery outside the train window flew by. Every time it stopped, many insects got off. The terminal station of this single-car train is located in the most marginal area of "Anlu," which is the edge area reached by the light.

After driving and stopping more than a dozen times, the train stopped again. Su Xiao had just gotten off the train, and the train drove away in a hurry without even closing the door. The surroundings became quiet.

This is the end of the tunnel street, and the light stops here. In the darkness ahead, one can vaguely see large areas of collapse, and many signs are inserted on the soil, with words like: No Entry, Danger, No Light Zone, etc. written on them.

Su Xiao raised his feet to move forward. As soon as he walked out of the range covered by the light, a cold feeling appeared around him. The dampness and earthy smell of the underground drifted into his nasal cavity, and he could vaguely hear things drilling in the soil ahead.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Su Xiao felt that someone was spying on him. This feeling was ethereal, sometimes appearing once every few hours, and sometimes appearing every few seconds, completely random.

That feeling was like someone looking at him from a very far place, and it had appeared intermittently since he arrived in "Dank City."

At first, it was not obvious, and Su Xiao once thought it was an eye of the Kodo School. After he arrived at the white town, that intermittent spying feeling disappeared, and now, the spying feeling appeared again.

The strange thing is that this spying feeling is not dangerous, just like being looked at from afar, containing no hostility.

Black-blue smoke enveloped Su Xiao. He entered the fully activated state of the Devouring Core and looked around. A few strands of golden aura as thin as hair appeared in the space crack a hundred meters away, slowly dissipating. That is the energy of a god, representing luck, fortune, etc., and is the trace left by the Goddess of Luck.

Once or twice might be a coincidence, but if the frequency is too high, it is purposeful exploration. Just now, the divine energy incarnation of the Goddess of Luck appeared in the space crack, peeping secretly.

Su Xiao speculated that this was highly likely because of 【Fate Dominator】. At this time, the Fate Dominator was already very different from the past. Not only was it promoted to Saint Spirit grade, but many words were also engraved on it. Each word represented a strong person who had fought with Su Xiao, which gave the Fate Dominator an extraordinary significance.

The third ability of the Fate Dominator requires the divine blood of the Goddess of Luck to activate, and this is equipment with luck characteristics. It is not surprising that the Goddess of Luck noticed the extraordinary nature of the Fate Dominator.

The black-blue smoke on Su Xiao's body dissipated. He took out the Fate Dominator from his storage space. Immediately, that spying feeling appeared again, and this time it was exceptionally intense.

At this time, in the space crack hundreds of meters away from Su Xiao, the divine energy incarnation of the Goddess of Luck was floating in mid-air. She had become smart and knew that she could not come in her true form.

The Goddess of Luck was lying obliquely in mid-air in a floating posture. She was the type who would never stand if she could sit, and would never sit if she could lie down. Being one of the three laziest goddesses in the Void was not an undeserved reputation.

The purpose of the Goddess of Luck coming here was very simple. She was coveting the Fate Dominator. At this moment, there was some disbelief in her eyes, and she did not understand why such an artifact as the Fate Dominator existed.

If it only improved fortune, she wouldn't care at all, but on the Fate Dominator, she felt the fortune of many strong people. After these were added together, it was "heavy" to an unimaginable degree, but the Fate Dominator carried it, and could accommodate more.

"How on earth... was it done?"

The Goddess of Luck muttered to herself. She admitted that she was coveting it. As for snatching it? Was she crazy? To snatch something from a Law-Exterminator? But she clearly felt that as long as she obtained that artifact and absorbed it, her divine source would undergo unimaginable changes.

The Goddess of Luck coveted 【Fate Dominator】, but did not dare to take action to snatch it.

Su Xiao needed the divine blood of the Goddess of Luck to improve the Fate Dominator. The problem at hand was that the Goddess of Luck was becoming more and more careful.

The Goddess of Luck coming to find him was something Su Xiao did not expect. He looked at the collapsed soil pile ahead and those dark tunnels. The Goddess of Luck did not need to be ignored for now; he would settle the score when there was a chance.

Looking at it now, since he was already slightly hostile to the underground kingdom, killing his way through was a better choice, and fast enough. As for the trade with the underground kingdom, Beni's side was enough.

Zheng~

Su Xiao drew the long knife at his waist and strode toward the tunnel ahead. Faction favorability is low? It doesn't matter, just kill all the way to the location of the Wolf Spider Queen.

"Aren't we here to visit the Wolf Spider Queen?"

Yueling unhooked the blade gun behind her back and followed behind Su Xiao. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang blended into the environment. Its task was to observe the terrain in front and find the location of the Wolf Spider Queen. Baha also went together, and then they would meet at the Black Nest, which was very dangerous.

The four-meter-wide tunnel was pitch black, with only the sound of Su Xiao's footsteps and his eyes that slightly revealed a red light.

"Hiss!"

A centipede over five meters long, with a body that was black revealing red, rushed out from the darkness above. The pair of jaw teeth on its head unfolded, like a pair of large pliers, biting toward Su Xiao.

With a swish, a slash flashed by. Su Xiao, holding the long knife, continued to move forward. The centipede, cut into two by a single slash, fell behind him, and black insect blood splattered. This color represented that the centipede had been completely corrupted.

After moving forward for more than ten meters, pairs of brown-yellow eyes appeared in the darkness ahead. Almost at the same time, beetles the size of fingernails drilled out from the surrounding soil walls.

The number of these beetles was at least ten thousand. Each beetle had fine barbs on its back shell, and its head was sharp and thin. Once it drilled into flesh and blood, it would be difficult to pull out, and it would go straight to the creature's heart and brain marrow.

The dense sound of shell collisions approached Su Xiao, and some beetles even unfolded their wings to attack Su Xiao. Looking at that posture, it was clear that they wanted to nail their heads deeply into Su Xiao's flesh.

In an instant, Su Xiao was submerged by the thorn beetles. With a bang, blood energy erupted, and all the beetles rushing toward him turned into fragments.
