Chapter 3217

Su Xiao tosses the last small piece of Soul Crystal in his hand into his mouth and walks toward Wood. Just in this short while, he feels a dry mouth and tongue. Walking out of the Endless Desert on foot is not impossible, but it is too risky. That high-tech desert vehicle is very important.

Taking a step, Su Xiao discovers that Zuiyas is also walking toward Wood. The other party has the same thought. Cooperating with Wood now has basically no risk, at least not from the Abyss Jar.

"Sure enough, this thing isn't so easy to send away."

Wood tosses the Abyss Jar in his hand. Neither his expression nor his tone has changed. He can accept this level of failure. Moreover, he is not dead yet, and as long as he is not dead, there is a chance.

The only thing that worries Wood is that the Abyss Jar is different from before. The Abyss Jar with the lid restored to completion is Dad + Dad = Grandpa, double the happiness.

"It's a wonder you can still be so calm. After you return to the Devil race, aren't you afraid your clansmen will tear you to pieces?"

Zuiyas checks the desert vehicle while speaking. In fact, he is just going through the motions. He has never seen this thing before; the Meteorite Star doesn't have it.

"Why go back? Zuiyas, this is your habitual thinking. The current Abyss Jar has only signed a blood pact with me. Before I return to the Devil race's station, it has no way to sign a blood pact with the Devil race. At most, I will never return to the Devil race for eternity and just be a ghost. However... I have had many resources from the clan to have today. Seizing the World of Paintings is just a return to the clan."

Wood tosses the Abyss Jar up, then grabs the pottery jar firmly in his hand, gripping it until it clicks.

"You seem to have been tricked, you and this broken jar."

Wood's shoulders shake with laughter. For the sake of his subsequent plan, he is deliberately angering the Abyss Jar. It looks like a limit one-for-one trade, but in fact, Wood has already arranged everything.

Su Xiao gets into the passenger seat of the desert vehicle. After seeing this scene, Zuiyas opens the driver's side door. With a bang, he closes the driver's side door of the desert vehicle and leans back leisurely. In fact, he is curious about what this circle in front of him is.

Bahar has already secured the food and fresh water on the roof of the car, and the rest is put into the back box. In a short while, Wood, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Bahar get into the car one after another, all in the back seats.

"Let's go, what are you all waiting for?"

Zuiyas in the driver's seat speaks, his gaze lingering on the steering wheel in front of him. He still hasn't figured out what this thing is, but that doesn't matter. As long as he doesn't ask, no one will know his Meteorite Star's technological level. Theology there has developed to the point of taking off; as for technology, you're afraid of death, aren't you, daring to study technology in a world dominated by Ancient Gods.

"..."

"?"

"??"

"???"

Wood, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Bahar in the back seats are all a bit confused. The current situation is that Zuiyas is sitting in the driver's seat, telling others to hurry up and drive.

"Zuiyas, you haven't seen a car before, have you? Although this thing is a relatively rough high-tech item, its shape is also a desert vehicle."

Bahar asks tentatively.

"Of course I've seen one."

Zuiyas is mysteriously confident. No one is perfect, and Zuiyas is no exception. In some non-critical matters, he is very concerned about face, but if it concerns life or death or success or failure, he is the most shameless one.

"You've seen one? Then start the engine. Start this car."

"Start the engine?"

Zuiyas looks at the steering wheel in front of him, then looks at his own fist. He seems to understand something, and a look of sudden realization appears on his face. So this thing needs to be hit. No wonder it doesn't move; it's about the same principle as riding a horse.

"Starting it now, sit tight."

Zuiyas swings his fist, preparing to smash it to experiment, controlling the force to a level that won't destroy this iron lump.

"Wait a second."

Wood raises his hand to stop him. With Zuiyas's strength, if this punch goes down, it won't be starting the engine, but punching through it.

Slap.

Zuiyas's arm is grabbed by Su Xiao. Zuiyas casts a puzzled look.

Su Xiao releases Zuiyas's arm and turns the alloy key in the ignition. The desert vehicle's engine starts.

The atmosphere is unusually awkward. Zuiyas coughs lightly and says: "I indeed haven't seen this thing. Technology is very wonderful. Unfortunately, theology and science cannot coexist."

A moment later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang sits in the driver's seat. A dog leg steps toward the clutch, then discovers that this desert vehicle has no clutch. This makes its little expression struggle for a while. How to drift without a clutch? No drifting, no soul. Thinking of this, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang pushes the gear lever, starts the liquid gathering device, and steps on the gas pedal to the floor. The desert vehicle bolts out.

The others in the car have normal expressions, except for Zuiyas, whose expression is like he's mourning. He is actually not as good as a dog, which hits him hard.

Half an hour later, Zuiyas sits in the driver's seat driving. His thought now is: technology is really interesting.

The desert vehicle speeds along. In the passenger seat, Su Xiao drinks ice water from his canteen. Currently, he knows nothing about the Sand World. To understand this place, he must at least get out of the Endless Desert, or rather, is getting out of the Endless Desert considered completing the second round of the Painting Contest?

Su Xiao feels this is unlikely. In the final analysis, the final victory or defeat is determined by the number of painting fragments submitted. Coming to the Sand World is to seize painting fragments. Thinking of this, he checks the leaderboard of the Painting Contest.

【World Source ranking has been refreshed. The current ranking is as follows.】

First place: Zuiyas (Meteorite Star), painting fragment submission: 4 pieces.

First place: Bai Ye (Reincarnation Paradise), painting fragment submission: 4 pieces.

First place: Wood (Devil race), painting fragment submission: 4 pieces.

【Prompt: There is only one first-place reward.】

Looking at the leaderboard, three first places appear before his eyes. Is this a coincidence? Of course not. Submitting 4 painting fragments makes the friendliness with the Young Lady reach 20 points, allowing entry to the second floor of the castle.

Wood and Zuiyas don't have more painting fragments? Of course not. Those two good teammates not only won three pieces from the Skeleton Gambler, but after the battle with the Nightmare King, they also seized quite a few painting fragments.

As for why they don't submit more, actually, everyone is worried about being besieged at the end. They are all old schemers. In the final round, it must be that whoever submits the most painting fragments will be besieged the most miserably.

The scenery outside the car window flies by, but it seems unchanging. Everything in sight is yellow sand. Even with the car window open and the wind whistling, Su Xiao still feels the heat. He is sweating rapidly, and the sweat evaporates as soon as it seeps out.

The journey makes one feel that time is both long and passes in a flash. The sky darkens, and the temperature, which was scorching all day, finally drops, feeling very cool.

The night passes quietly. The first ray of dawn at the edge of the sky shines through the car window. Su Xiao opens his eyes. It is the second day of entering the Endless Desert. At this time, Wood is driving. It was already allocated before that he is not responsible for driving, the reason being that if an enemy attacks, Su Xiao, as a technique-type melee fighter, has the fastest reaction speed.

After driving for a few more hours, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang stops the car. The reason is that a huge sand pit appears in front, which is the location where Su Xiao and Luoxi fought before.

"Ghost wall? The characteristics of this desert are too cliché."

Although Bahar says this, it is actually very annoyed. They wasted a day of travel for nothing.

"It's not. Look over there."

Su Xiao points outside the car window. More than two hundred meters away, not far from the huge sand pit, there is a desert vehicle. And near that desert vehicle stand himself, Zuiyas, Wood, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Bahar.

"I, I'll be damned!"

More than two hundred meters away, that back figure completely identical to Su Xiao suddenly turns its head. Its eyes turn into blood energy, and its whole body rapidly transforms into blood energy, eventually becoming a blood energy avatar.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

After continuous spatial movement, the blood energy avatar stands on the blood threads in mid-air. The long blade in its hand faintly emits blood smoke.

Near the sand pit, the back figure completely identical to Zuiyas also turns around. In an instant, it transforms into a tentacle man covered in tentacles.

And the back figure identical to Wood transforms into a grim reaper wearing a black cloak. Its whole body rises with black smoke, holding a pale scythe in its hand.

The back figures of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Bahar explode and do not turn into enemies. This is good news. If Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's back figure also became a monster and added a halo to other monsters, that would be very bad. As for Bahar, if its back figure became a monster, it would be high-altitude reconnaissance throughout, with nowhere to escape.

The blood energy avatar, the tentacle man, and the black smoke reaper all cast their gazes, staring at the desert vehicle where Su Xiao and the others are.
