Chapter 3198: Choice

The strange phenomenon in the Birth Plaza disappeared. Although the enemy was successfully resolved, Zuiyas's eyes were full of dread. The Abyss Jar in Wood's hand was simply too terrifying.

After careful consideration, Zuiyas didn't care much. The activation time of this thing was too long, and the risk of using it was definitely very high, otherwise Wood wouldn't give this thing away.

Moreover, if this was Wood's trump card, the other party wouldn't use it now. Thinking of this, Zuiyas felt much more relieved.

Su Xiao extinguished the cigarette in his hand and looked at Zuiyas. Zuiyas remained calm. Obviously, the other party had thought of the supreme treasure in Wood's hand and it didn't look as easy to use as it seemed.

Regarding this item, Su Xiao was actually very interested. His idea was to take this thing back to Reincarnation Paradise and then sell it to Reincarnation Paradise. He didn't believe that this thing dared to confront Reincarnation Paradise. How arrogant was the Ouroboros Slate back then? Now it had also been arranged to be honest.

Su Xiao hadn't used the Ouroboros Slate for a while. It was undeniable that this thing was indeed a bit evil. It looked like it had conceded, but it was more like a coiled poisonous snake, ready to bite Su Xiao at any time. Su Xiao had no good way to deal with this, so he just locked it up and pretended he had never obtained it.

If Su Xiao got impatient one day, he would sell 【Dark Redemption】 and let the Ouroboros Slate go to harm others.

Regarding the plan to take the Abyss Jar back to Reincarnation Paradise and then sell it to Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao considered it in his heart and decided to give it up. If he found the words "cannot be sold" in the price column of its information after obtaining it, that would be a big joke.

"Zuiyas, do me a favor."

"Speak."

"Put your hand into the Abyss Jar and pull out the bald bird. In a while, it will be digested."

"?"

Zuiyas looked at Wood suspiciously, his gaze as if asking: 'Wood, do I look like an idiot to you? Could I possibly do this? Hmm?'

"Believe me this once, it's about to be too late."

"Hehe."

Zuiyas laughed exceptionally freely. He looked Wood up and down and asked: "Bai Ye, who is this person? He looks a bit familiar."

"..."

"Hey, there is no basic trust between people anymore."

Wood said this, feeling a bit regretful in his heart, regretful that Zuiyas didn't come up to check. This tentacle man was too cautious.

Wood reached into the Abyss Jar with one hand. Whoosh, his whole body ignited with invisible flames. He pulled his trembling hand out of the Abyss Jar, holding a hairless bird the size of a pigeon in his palm. This bald bird was covered with fine bite marks; it was Black Wing Zakawa.

It wasn't that Zakawa was beaten back to his original form; it was because he was sucked into the Abyss Jar that he became a bald bird. What was even more terrifying was that this wasn't a transformation-type debuff, but a permanent change.

"Kill... me."

Zakawa spoke with difficulty. He now only sought death.

"Sorry, I can't do it, but I can heal your wounds and let you live in your current form. I've tested it before. After you recover, you can barely fight a hen. Don't even think about a rooster; you can't beat it."

"Kill me, step on... me."

"Don't worry, I will raise you with a group of hens, and I won't hurt your self-esteem. Hey? Why are you still crying? I still like your arrogant look just now. Try your best to recover."

Zakawa ignored Wood. He was in despair. The enemy never said they would kill him from beginning to end, but compared to death, he was now ten times, a hundred times more desperate.

"We Devil Tribe love trading very much. Let's make a deal. You tell me the secret of the Nightmare World, and I will help you recover your original form and let you leave."

"Recover... your original form? You... won't kill me?"

"Of course. Please remember one sentence: the verbal promise of the Devil Tribe is a thousand times, ten thousand times more reliable than the contract of the Devil Tribe."

"Good, I believe... your promise. The Nightmare World has three layers, and each layer has some similarities. Where you are now is the third layer of the Nightmare World. There is only the Birth Plaza here. Even if you walk out of the exit, you can't reach the slaughterhouse..."

Through Zakawa's description, Su Xiao learned the structure of the Nightmare World. The first layer of the Nightmare World was the most complete, with the Birth Plaza, slaughterhouse (ruins + labyrinth), playground (another game venue), and Nightmare Town.

The second layer below only had the Birth Plaza and the slaughterhouse.

And the third layer at the very bottom only had the Birth Plaza.

From this unique structure, one could see the caution of the Nightmare King. It clearly knew how cowardly it was, which was why it made the Nightmare World into this structure, to avoid some angry player crossing the 'network cable' to hack it one day.

Simply put, if you can't reach the first layer of the Nightmare World, which is the top layer, you can't find the Nightmare King. According to Zakawa, the Nightmare King never leaves Nightmare Town.

"Thank you, Zakawa. You helped us a lot. Don't be nervous, I will throw you back into the Abyss Jar."

Wood grabbed Zakawa by one leg, intending to throw the other party back into the Abyss Jar.

"You won't die well! You will definitely be bitten by ten thousand insects..."

"Listen to my explanation. If I don't throw you into the Abyss Jar, you can't recover your original form."

"This..."

Zakawa was speechless. He had just scolded Wood, and very harshly.

Wood threw Zakawa into the Abyss Jar. A moment later, flesh and blood emerged from the jar. A head protruded from this flesh and blood; it was Zakawa shouting silently.

Flesh and blood gathered, and black feathers grew again. Ten seconds later, the recovered Zakawa half-knelt on the ground.

Zakawa looked at his hands and then looked down at his chest. His thought was that these people were too stupid. Having such a deep hatred, they could actually let him go? Such stupid and hypocritical people were not qualified to fight the Nightmare King to the death. They didn't even have a chance to see the Nightmare King.

"Thank you for your kindness. I, Zakawa, will remember the kindness of the three forever. Lord Wood, please let me be your slave."

Zakawa knelt on one knee and lowered his head. He wouldn't run away. In his view, he must show loyalty now and be a slave to one of these three enemies. Otherwise, these people might break their promise. What he had to do was wait for an opportunity and then let these three die without a burial place, let them experience the pain he had just suffered. He must not let it go, but before that, he must endure.

Zakawa's head was pressed very low, and then, his head fell off.

"Eh?"

Zakawa didn't die immediately, his face full of astonishment. He saw the man holding a long blade standing not far away.

"Zakawa, I did promise you not to kill you, but... Bai Ye never promised you. Since you are going to die, the previous promise is void. This small jar is your home forever. Enjoy it to your heart's content."

Wood stuffed Zakawa's head into the Abyss Jar. Zakawa's head was clearly a few sizes larger than the Abyss Jar, but it was stuffed in, very naturally.

As soon as Zakawa's head was stuffed into the Abyss Jar, Su Xiao received a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise.

【Prompt: You have killed the manager, Zakawa.】

【You have obtained 2.17% World Source (this is the World Source of the Main Painting World). Because the Devil Tribe's Wood participated in the killing process, this reward has been reduced.】

【You have obtained a Holy Spirit-level treasure chest (81%). Because the Devil Tribe's Wood participated in the killing process, this reward has been reduced.】

【Prompt: You have successfully obtained the World Source of the Main Painting World.】

【Prompt: After the Hunter completes this Painting Scroll Contest, the world settlement will proceed normally. Because this is a non-summoned contest, for the brand level increased during this world settlement, the Hunter can make the following choices.】

【1. Increase the brand level by double (e. g., if it originally increased by lv. 2, it will actually increase by lv. 4).】

【2. Consume the brand level that should have been increased this time to obtain a random draw opportunity (many items can be drawn, from white to??? quality).】 ===== CHAPTER 3199 =====
