Chapter 3137

The fighting on the scorched earth subsided. Su Xiao took the treasure chest handed over by Baha. This Holy Spirit-tier treasure chest dropped by the Taiya Emperor had a very high gold content, which shows the strength of the Taiya Emperor.

Compared to the treasure chest obtained, Su Xiao cared more about an amber. This amber was oval in shape, a few sizes smaller than an egg, and emitted a pale yellow and warm luster. In the center of this amber was a black nematode.

This nematode was covered with fine scales, each circle of scales protruding, and when connected, it looked very much like a dorsal fin.

This item is called 【Dark Erosion Insect · Emperor Hatred】. Su Xiao had seen many nematodes on the Western Continent, but he had never seen an individual similar to the nematode in this amber. Other nematodes made people feel very uncomfortable and unwilling to touch them more.

And the nematode in this amber looked like an artwork with a bizarre and grotesque style. Although it gave people a sense of ominousness just by looking at it, it did not make people feel repulsive.

The information on this item is very simple: "An insect born in the darkness, longing for the light," and then there was nothing else.

【Dark Erosion Insect · Emperor Hatred】 cannot be taken out of this world, and the method of use is unknown. The only valuable information is that this thing is still alive, but if it is activated, its existence cycle will be very short.

Su Xiao put away the 【Dark Erosion Insect · Emperor Hatred】 and ordered the battlefield to be cleaned. Gunshots could still be heard faintly in the distance, proving that there were still fish that slipped through the net. Given the current situation of the war, those fish that slipped through the net could not be considered a threat.

The stars filled the sky, and the weather tonight was exceptionally sultry. Su Xiao walked towards the ruins of the ancient royal city... no, there were no ruins anymore; the place where the royal city was located was now a huge pit.

The Abyss Hole was not on the Taiya Emperor. The dark ring projected on the other party's chest earlier was a projection of the Abyss Hole.

The crater ahead was glowing red, the soil had been scorched into a hard shell, covered with sparks.

Su Xiao leaped into the giant pit, and a crisp cracking sound came from under his feet. The hard shell on the ground was stepped on and cracked by him, and a semi-fluid substance resembling magma flowed out from the cracks, carrying high temperatures.

Su Xiao obtained a considerable amount of World Source from the ordinary Parasitic Insect Warriors killed by artillery fire, but not too much. However, he did not obtain any World Source from those highly mutated Parasitic Insect Warriors killed by Apollo, but he obtained a huge amount of Soul Coins.

Su Xiao did not know how many highly mutated Parasitic Insect Warriors were blown up. After calculation, he obtained a total of 13,429 Soul Coins and 8 【Alienated Crystals】.

After returning to the Reincarnation Paradise, 【Alienated Crystals】 can be sold to the Reincarnation Paradise for 510 Soul Coins each, or they can be used to strengthen equipment.

Using this thing to strengthen equipment will not increase the strengthening level, but will cause the equipment to alienate. There are two effects of alienation: one is to change the characteristics of the equipment to obtain extremely special characteristics, and the other is to make the transformed equipment appear resonant, enhancing each other, with a maximum resonance quantity of 3.

Simply put, if there are enough 【Alienated Crystals】 to strengthen three Holy Spirit-tier pieces of equipment, the bonuses of these three pieces of equipment will transform towards the "Insect System," and when wearing these three pieces of equipment at the same time, the three pieces of equipment will resonate with each other, and all will have attribute improvements.

This is somewhat similar to a set, but the strength of a set lies in the set effect, while alienated equipment resonates and improves each other without a set effect.

For Qiyuezhe with Insect System abilities, alienating three pieces of equipment is an excellent choice. There are actually quite a few Qiyuezhe with Insect System abilities, mostly women. Do not think that the Insect System is this kind of nematode on the Western Continent; this is just a branch of the Insect System. The Insect System has another large branch, and the various abilities of that branch can only be described as beautiful. That is the mutual bonding and growth between humans and spiritual insects.

Obviously, the Insect System in this world belongs to the most terrifying type, with strong combat power, and it took several days of bombing to clean it up.

Su Xiao came to the center of the giant pit. He had not yet found the 8 dropped 【Alienated Crystals】. The item prompt was there; the 【Alienated Crystals】 were in the cave below.

Su Xiao looked down into the cave. The firelight inside was dazzling. With the help of the firelight, Su Xiao saw the darkness below. That darkness was very deep, as if leading to the bottom of the Nine Netherworlds.

Grabbing Baha's eagle claw, Su Xiao began to descend. A scorching sensation appeared around him. After falling for a few minutes, the high temperature faded, and he landed in the black mist.

It was pitch black all around, with a visible distance of no more than two meters. Sensing the surroundings with his eyes closed, Su Xiao walked to the right. He didn't walk far before he picked up a radial crystal from the ground. This thing looked like a sea urchin, with a very faint blood-red light inside, as if it were condensed from blood and some kind of ability. This was the 【Alienated Crystal】.

"Baha, you are responsible for collecting this thing."

Su Xiao threw the 【Alienated Crystal】 in his hand to Baha and walked forward. The Abyss Hole was there, no need to sense it.

The black mist around was even thicker. The further he walked, the more comfortable Su Xiao felt. This was the power of the Abyss. This energy has no concepts of good or bad, or kindness or evil. It is absorbed by people with malicious intent, and it is darkness; it is absorbed by kind people, and it is the brilliant light of hope. This is a power that reflects the heart and soul.

In normal times, the power of the Abyss nourishes the world and living beings, but there is one point: the power of the Abyss that enters this world through the Abyss Hole has undergone distortion for some reason. Absorbing too much will cause problems. Even the Moon Wolf was eroded by this distorted power of the Abyss, which shows how strong its influence is.

Su Xiao stopped in the darkness. Ahead of him was a faint cyan moonlight. This was a disk condensed from moonlight, covered with dense patterns. In the center of the moonlight disk was a dark ring with a diameter of half a meter. The distorted power of the Abyss drifted out from this dark ring.

The Taiya Emperor never had the ability to suppress the Abyss Hole. To this day, it is still relying on the legacy of the Moon Wolf to suppress the Abyss Hole.

Su Xiao raised his right arm, and blood-red chains as thick as a little finger appeared out of thin air behind him. This was a blessing from the Reincarnation Paradise. With Su Xiao's current means, he indeed could not destroy the Abyss Hole; this is a phenomenon related to the Abyss.

Su Xiao pressed one hand towards the Abyss Hole, and the blood-red chains rushed into the Abyss Hole. The space around him cracked with a crackling sound, and the entire Western Continent was shaking.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a huge blood-red mark appeared above. Except for Job-holders, Qiyuezhe, and Hunters, outsiders could not see this mark.

In the darkness underground, Su Xiao felt that as he grasped, the Abyss Hole was cracking, and a passage leading to the unknown was also collapsing.

Boom!

The Abyss Hole shattered, and a dark shock spread in the center of the Western Continent. After sweeping across the entire Western Continent, it spread far into the surrounding waters.

Eastern Continent, Kedu.

The Kedu of the Eastern Continent is equivalent to Gaman City of the Southern Continent. This is the capital of literature and art. Many famous writers, painters, musicians, and scholars live here. The accumulation of generations of art has given this place a profound cultural heritage. The three most famous universities in the Alliance are all located in Kedu.

Clang, clang, clang~

The big clock tower made a melodious bell sound. This antique building should have been demolished long ago, but it was preserved until today to comply with public opinion.

In an art gallery near the big clock tower, the art gallery at night looked a bit dim. This place looked inconspicuous, but the two world-famous works "Luo Woman Portrait" and "Thorns" were stored here.

Under the painting "Thorns," a gray-haired figure stood there. He looked at the masterpiece "Thorns" on the wall. Everything was like yesterday. He remembered talking to the painter of "Thorns" more than two hundred years ago. Wei Xi Luo E lost his son in his early years and his wife in his middle years. His life was poor and frustrated, truly like a path of thorns. But who would have thought that after his death, his painting "Thorns" would be hailed as one of the two great masterpieces of this century.

A subtle fluctuation swept by, and brilliance appeared in the old man's turbid eyes. His name is Atos Baiken.

The moonlight outside the window shone on Atos Baiken's face, making his face look pale. In his pupils, it seemed that a golden nematode was swimming in a ring shape.
