Chapter 3085
The woman with small bells hanging on her waist walked on the snow, leaving no footprints along the way. Every time her figure flickered, there was more frost on Su Xiao's hand, and his body felt more burning.
Must find a way as soon as possible. Su Xiao's thoughts in his brain turned rapidly. At this moment, he was about to trigger the lethality of the dangerous object. This was the other party's territory. Under this premise, the lethality could not be avoided.
Su Xiao chose to come here, of course, after making full investigation and preparation. Just now, he intentionally angered the enemy, which was to attract the spearhead to himself, so as not to let Xiang Bubu Wang and Baha be accounted for here. The enemy's lethality was soul-based.
【Warning: Your health is rapidly decreasing under the erosion of "Cold Snow of Rin"...】
【Warning: Your health has slipped to 95%.】
【Warning: Your health has slipped to 90%.】
【Because you are in the rebirth place of the enemy, you are about to bear the soul instant-death effect (this ability is a probabilistic instant death).】
【Luck attribute judgment in progress...】
【Warning: Because your luck attribute is currently low, you will bear the soul instant-death effect.】
【Hint: The hunter's soul strength is 500 points! This instant death has been forcibly exempted!】
【Hint: Sword Technique Master Lv. 20 ultimate ability · Soul Blade (passive), has exempted this soul instant-death effect.】
【Because you performed a double exemption, the enemy will bear the backlash.】
【The enemy has temporarily lost the soul instant-death ability, estimated to recover after 3 natural days.】
Boom!
A shockwave spread with Su Xiao as the center. In the flying snow outside the door, the bell woman suddenly exploded, leaving behind a miserable and despair-inducing crying sound in the air.
"Living, what is the meaning of it."
Lola laughed miserably, pulled out a short knife for self-defense, and made a gesture to cut her own throat.
Slap!
Su Xiao gave Lola a big slap, making her spin in place a few times. This field member was still useful. The other party didn't accept the power of that dangerous object, just dealt with the other party in a cooperative way, which showed that this wasn't a rigid person, suitable for handling dangerous objects in various places. Because she wouldn't flatter, she didn't mix well in the field troops with a not-so-good atmosphere.
"I am a piece of trash."
The poet wiped his tears, making a gesture to hit the wall. Hunting Tide kicked him to the side.
"Chief, what is this?"
Lola tilted her head, as if she had a stiff neck.
"It's nothing, that dangerous object slapped you, I've already beaten it back."
"Thank you, Chief."
Lola survived a disaster. Everything else was fine, except for the face pain and neck pain.
"My waist."
The poet shrank by the wall, holding his lower back with one hand. Lola was shocked and hurried forward to check. This concerned her happiness.
"Waist injured? Is it serious?"
"Not serious."
"It's fine if it's not serious. It's fine if the waist is fine."
Lola felt relieved. The poet's face turned green. He wasn't weak originally, but ever since he had an indescribable extra relationship with Lola, he became weaker and weaker.
"Don't show off your affection. Tell me, where is the lair of that thing."
Baha shook the frost off its feathers. Xiang Bubu Wang was fine. It had integrated into the environment just now. Although its body wasn't injured, it suffered a real critical hit in terms of "spirit." It felt that thing looked like a female ghost. Just after getting rid of the "Ash Casket," it directly encountered a female ghost. Xiang Bubu Wang's little heart was trembling.
It was never afraid of those bloody, terrifying monsters, but for existences like ghosts and spirits, its "resistance" was negative. Every hit was a real critical heart-mind damage.
"Her lair is at Red Pool Hot Spring. That is the hot spring operated by Granny Qian's family for generations. It's on the west side of the town, in the row of buildings backed by the snow-capped mountain."
Lola supported the poet, feeling uneasy in her heart. In general, handling dangerous objects required cannon fodder. She was very worried about becoming that cannon fodder.
Su Xiao walked toward the outside of the residential house. It was sunny just a moment ago, but in just over ten minutes, the entire Winter Spring Town was covered in snow, turning into a silver-clad world.
Waiting in the snow for a while, a figure walked over. It was Amu who came to rendezvous.
"Amu, weren't you teleported into the sea?"
"Moo."
Amu wasn't teleported into the sea. This time it fell into a swamp.
Amu successfully rendezvoused, but Benny lost contact, completely out of the contact range. Even contact delayed by a few days was impossible. Benny might not be on the continent and had gone for a few days' tour at sea.
Su Xiao walked along the streets of the town. The streets that were bustling just now were empty, with pairs of bloodshot eyes staring at Su Xiao through door cracks and curtain gaps.
Hunting Tide came to a door and knocked on it.
"Hehehehehe, you saw it, you saw it, come and accompany us, hehehehehe."
The crazy laughter came from behind the door. Who was Hunting Tide? A female powerhouse who maintained the number one beauty of the Tianba tribe with strength. She pierced the door with one hand and grabbed the neck of the person inside.
Just after grabbing the neck of the town resident, Hunting Tide felt a cold, slippery sensation appear on her palm. She withdrew her hand and saw white worms crawling on her hand.
Seeing this, Hunting Tide almost cut off her own hand. She was strong, no doubt, but she had a big weakness, which was extreme disgust and nausea toward these soft and cold worms, even a bit of fear. She wasn't afraid of death, but somewhat afraid of worms.
"Auntie, calm down, you are a Tianba."
"God's Township doesn't have this filthy thing."
Hunting Tide shook off the worms on her hand and washed it with snow for a long time, her slender eyebrows still tightly furrowed.
"You don't feel empty even when facing the descent of deathly stillness, you're afraid of this thing?"
Baha was very surprised. Back then, when facing the power of deathly stillness, Hunting Tide not only didn't feel empty but was the first to fight back.
"Bird, don't you have things that discard evil?"
"I do, I'm afraid you'll shoot me with an arrow."
"My arrows are not filthy."
Hunting Tide took out an arrow, indicating that her arrows were very clean. Except for wanting lives, there was nothing worth disliking.
Ignoring Baha who was teasing Hunting Tide, Su Xiao continued to walk forward. Where was there any peaceful coexistence? The residents of the entire Winter Spring Town had been assimilated or eroded by that bell woman. The essence of dangerous objects was just like this, even if the intelligence of some dangerous objects was very high.
A simple metaphor was, would people feel guilty because they ate the meat of livestock? In the cognition of most dangerous objects, living beings were food or energy sources.
Every household by the street closed their doors, watching Su Xiao and others with those bloodshot eyes. If an ordinary person arrived here, they would definitely turn around and flee, leaving this place that exuded a strong sense of weirdness and creepiness.
Ten minutes later, Su Xiao stopped in front of a three-story wooden building. The area of this building was very large, and the sign next to the door had the word "Turbid" written on it. Of course, it was the text of this world. This was Red Pool Hot Spring.
Su Xiao hesitated whether to throw an Apollo in first to warm up for that bell woman, but considering the various characteristics of dangerous objects, although Apollo was effective, throwing it directly like this wouldn't have much effect.
The reason Su Xiao came directly here was because he had severely injured that bell woman just now, and this was a rare opportunity.
Su Xiao discovered a major advantage of his in this world: he could resist soul-slashing.
The lethality of dangerous objects was roughly divided into several categories: targeting the body, spirit, and soul. Su Xiao was completely unafraid in terms of soul. In terms of body, because of his development of four attributes, his resistance was also very strong. As long as he didn't encounter mental lethality, his resistance to dangerous objects was very high.
It could be said that 【Borg's Heart (Immortal Grade)】 was an artifact in this world. Su Xiao even regretted not spending a great price to strengthen this equipment, but thinking about this now had no meaning.
Pushing open the wooden sliding door of Red Pool Hot Spring and walking into the lobby, an old woman about 1.3 meters tall with her hair coiled stood behind the counter. She should have been standing on a chair.
"Does the guest want to stay overnight?"
The old woman asked with a smile. She was Granny Qian, the operator of this hot spring.
"..."
Su Xiao examined Granny Qian for a moment. This didn't look like a living thing, but unlike those things outside, the mental fluctuation was more active.
"Yes."
"Guest, please follow me."
Granny Qian hunched her back, holding a smoking pipe, and led the way in front. Every few steps she took, the sliding doors in front slammed shut.
"My guests all have strange tempers, please forgive me."
Granny Qian walked up the wooden steps while speaking. After reaching the second floor, she stopped in front of a sliding door that was open. Inside the room, tatami mats were laid out.
Just as Su Xiao was about to walk into the room, he saw a small head looking around from the corner of the wooden corridor. Discovering that Su Xiao cast his gaze over, the little boy hurriedly retracted his head.
"How many days does the guest want to stay?"
"One day."
"The hot spring is in the inner room on the first floor. I won't disturb the guest's rest."
Granny Qian brushed past Su Xiao. Su Xiao's right hand clenched into a fist, grabbing a small paper ball.
Walking into the room and closing the sliding door, Su Xiao opened the paper ball in his hand. It was a small slip of paper, on which was written: "Unknown powerhouse, save her, we are already martyrs, but she is still alive."
The meaning of this slip of paper was not too clear yet, and who "she" was was unknown.
Regarding Dangerous Object · Bell Woman, the temporary intelligence was as follows:
1. The bell woman could cause victims to die or be assimilated through some medium (after contacting the medium, this ability was almost unsolvable). This medium had a probability of over 60% of being the hot spring. Everyone here had soaked in the hot spring, and people who came to this place were also here because of the hot spring. This was the easiest medium to contact.
2. The known means of the bell woman's killing were two. The first killing means was killing the target through the medium (after the target died, there was frost on the body surface, and the internal organs were severely burned, which was consistent with the characteristics of soaking in a hot spring. When soaking in a hot spring, the skin contacts water, and the heat in the body increases). The second killing means was soul instant death, which was the most difficult point of this dangerous object (this ability had been solved, no need to worry within 3 days, which was also the reason why Su Xiao came directly to Red Pool Hot Spring).
3. The bell woman had a main body, and her main body was somewhere in Red Pool Hot Spring.
Synthesizing this intelligence, Su Xiao prepared to conduct preliminary reconnaissance. He pushed open the wooden sliding door, and a small, somewhat cold hand grabbed his hand. It was the little boy he saw just now.
"Big brother, window, where to jump out from, must be that window."
After the little boy finished this sentence, his small hand shrank back with a swoosh. He seemed to have been dragged into some narrow place, emitting crying sounds that he tried hard to suppress. His weak and slender body had no power to resist at all, and he could only endure it silently.
Su Xiao pushed open the sliding door, and the scene before his eyes had changed, becoming dilapidated, with dust all over the walls, spider webs everywhere in the corners, and creaking sounds when stepping on the wooden corridor floor.
A drop of water fell from above. Su Xiao dodged to the side. One must never touch water here.
"Woof."
Xiang Bubu's trembling bark came from behind. Su Xiao looked back and saw that Amu, Baha, and Hunting Tide had disappeared in the room, and the room had also become dilapidated.
Just as Xiang Bubu Wang was about to run toward Su Xiao, it suddenly froze in place. A woman's face that was pale to the extreme and bleeding from seven orifices appeared in front of Xiang Bubu Wang.
Woo~
The eerie sound appeared beside Xiang Bubu Wang's ear. The surroundings seemed to become gloomy, closed, and empty. Su Xiao, Xiang Bubu's biggest spiritual pillar, also disappeared from its line of sight. It was completely panicked this time.
The sound of bones cracking appeared beside its ear, and a hand with long nails and coldness grabbed Xiang Bubu's ears.
"Woo-ooh woof!! (Don't touch me)"
Xiang Bubu Wang ran forward. Due to its legs being soft, after a series of figure-eight steps, it barely crawled out of the room, leaving a string of S-shaped water stains along the way. This was a urine mark. Xiang Bubu really lost its composure this time and couldn't hold it back.
After crawling out of the room, Xiang Bubu Wang felt that it had rushed through a layer of film, and Su Xiao appeared in front.
Xiang Bubu hurried forward, hugging Su Xiao's leg. Afterward, its hind legs started to twitch, as if an electric motor had been pressed.
Su Xiao patted Xiang Bubu's dog head. The current situation was a good thing, representing that the thing was already very weak and could only defend with illusions and barrier-like abilities.
"You guys, all have to come and accompany me..."
A red-clothed female ghost floated over. This was a ghost bound by that dangerous object.
The red-clothed female ghost's appearance was creepy. Xiang Bubu Wang immediately let go of Su Xiao's leg. Although it was scared to the point of peeing, it knew that it couldn't hinder Su Xiao from fighting.
The red-clothed female ghost stopped in mid-air because she saw Su Xiao's blood energy. Just by approaching Su Xiao, she felt like she was going to be melted.
The red-clothed female ghost turned and fled. With a crack, the wooden board under Su Xiao's feet shattered. With one hand, he pinched the red-clothed female ghost's neck. He stared at the other party with eyes revealing red light. With Su Xiao's soul strength and sword technique, the ghost had no possibility of resisting.
"A rare receptor, just happened to need one."
The more Su Xiao looked at this female ghost, the more satisfied he felt in his heart. In the past, he couldn't even catch one, but at this moment, one took the initiative to send itself to the door. This Red Pool Hot Spring was a good place.
The red-clothed female ghost's miserable appearance quickly faded. Her face was even paler, and she said tremblingly: "Please... please don't hurt me."
It was obvious that Su Xiao, who was full of blood energy, had scared the ghost quite a bit, to the point of trembling.
PS: (Three updates today, but the total word count of the three chapters is quite a lot. I've been staying up late too much recently, and my body is not well. I'll start morning running and exercising tomorrow morning.)
