Chapter 3224: Iron Will

The sky was pitch-black. Under the gloomy clouds floated gray dust particles. The Overgrowth of Madness and the Abyss Jar were both existences with dark characteristics. The former could not be looked at or peeked at, and the latter would cause endless trouble if touched by cause and effect.

In the darkness beneath the Abyss Jar, Wood stood there. His originally spotless black suit was now tattered, losing that bit of a scammer's follower. On his chest and abdomen were dense suture marks.

This was caused by him having his organs pulled out by the blood Qi monster during the battle just now. He survived by ingesting Ceyas's energy, and there would be many troubles afterward.

Wood didn't rush toward the Moon Apostle. His ghostly green pupil flames condensed. In his view, this was the opportunity he was waiting for, the opportunity to get rid of the Abyss Jar.

"You must escape from here, don't let me down."

Wood muttered in a low voice. A contract parchment covered in blood patterns appeared in front of him. Green flames ignited on this parchment with a whoosh, disappearing into the air inch by inch.

"I hope I didn't place the wrong bet this time."

Wood smiled. His situation was the most dangerous. The blood contract with the Abyss Jar made it impossible for him to leave this place. This was almost a certain death situation.

Thunder-like roars sounded in the sky. Su Xiao stood behind Morey, strangling Morey's neck with one arm. With Morey's height, even standing behind her, Su Xiao's view remained open.

Wave~

A ripple spread in the distance. It was the Moon Apostle using a life-saving item to escape. Su Xiao immediately felt a force adding to him disappear. It was the equipment effect of the Black King Armguard being lifted. This was a good thing, representing Xiang Bubu Wang and Baha having withdrawn.

Su Xiao had his left arm slashed off before, and the Black King Armguard was still on it. He hadn't had time to retrieve his left arm before the Overgrowth of Madness appeared.

Fortunately, Baha was carrying that arm, so there was no problem of the Black King Armguard being lost. If the storage space and team storage space could be unsealed within a period of time, that arm could still be reattached. 【Cell Activity Maintenance Device】 was the most common material for Su Xiao's squad. Fighting was daily life, and broken arms and legs were common occurrences.

Although Su Xiao's left arm was severed just now, the Black King Armguard was still worn on it intact. In this situation, as long as Su Xiao didn't exceed a certain distance from his severed arm, the equipment effect wouldn't be lifted. Now it was lifted.

Without the Black King Armguard, not being able to use Death Silence Descent, Death Silence Ember, Boundary Breaking Line, etc., were not too fatal problems. Not having the blessing of "Undying Will (Passive)" was a more serious matter.

Undying Will (Passive): Exempt from near-death state until death.

Since obtaining the Black King Armguard, Su Xiao hadn't entered a near-death state again. With his current comprehensive strength, if his health dropped below 10%, he would fall into an intermittent near-death state. After this situation lasted for a while, it would be a continuous near-death state.

Su Xiao's strength was not what it used to be, and his resistance to the near-death state had improved.

"Morey, are you prepared to continue watching the show?"

Su Xiao stared at the sky. The pressure that made his shoulders heavy continued constantly. The Overgrowth of Madness and the Abyss Jar were still confronting each other, and it wouldn't be long before they attacked.

"Of course not."

Morey's answer was decisive. She held a pocket watch in her hand. No matter how she activated it, the fluctuations of this pocket watch were not strong.

"The energy nearby is too chaotic, 'Golden Moment' has been interfered with, it will be soon, soon, and... I'm going to suffocate, you let go of my arm."

Morey looked tearful. The life-saving item she had high hopes for had dropped the ball at a critical moment. It could be activated, but it needed time.

Boom!

An energy tide spread in the sky. Su Xiao felt the ground under his feet begin to vibrate. The space around him seemed to collapse, appearing damaged, like eggshells falling off one by one, revealing pitch-black chaos after falling off.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao judged that the Endless Desert was a huge independent space. This place didn't count as part of the Sand World; it should be a buffer zone between the Sand World and the Main Painting World, similar in nature to the Nightmare World.

Presumably, the Nightmare King used the Endless Desert as inspiration to stitch together the Nightmare World with 【Scroll Fragments】.

In the sky, black clouds and gloomy auroras twisted together, and the roaring sound continued. The way the Overgrowth of Madness and the Abyss Jar fought was mutual erosion and devouring. No one knew whether the two sides could do anything to each other, but at this moment, the Endless Desert couldn't bear it.

After a loud bang, this buffer zone leaked. Purple-black semi-fluids flowed out from the pitch-black hole above, constantly pouring into and filling the riddled Endless Desert.

Su Xiao had seen this purple-black semi-fluid. Outside the ancient castle of the Main Painting World, all that flowed was this stuff. After being swallowed by this stuff, he couldn't hold on with his current injuries. He had just fought a bloody battle with the blood Qi monster.

Su Xiao strangled Morey's clothing at the back of her neck with one hand and leaped on the pitch-black ground. The surrounding purple-black semi-fluids surged like rotten mud, compressing his range of activity.

A dozen seconds later, Su Xiao stopped. He looked around. Everything around was surging purple-black semi-fluids, and this semi-fluid was also dripping from above, causing a turbid smell to permeate the air.

"It will be soon, at most 2 seconds, I guarantee it will be activated within 3 seconds, ah! This trash."

Morey resisted the urge to smash the pocket watch in her hand. At this moment, golden brilliance penetrated from the pocket watch.

"Nice! Hold on tight, Bai Ye, don't grab my hair~, and don't pinch my neck~"

Morey was very excited, but in the next instant, a mass of darkness attacked from the right side. This darkness attacked too fast. Su Xiao, who was already severely injured, was enveloped in it first, followed by Morey. Morey immediately rolled her eyes and half-fainted. Emerald light erupted from inside her collar. Her other life-saving item was activated.

Tree roots coiled over and stabbed into this darkness. Taking advantage of the opportunity, in the darkness, a golden pocket watch erupted with the final brilliance.

Golden brilliance shone into Su Xiao's eyes. Although he was in severe pain all over, he hadn't lost consciousness. He could feel a strange yet familiar feeling filling every part of his body. He was about to enter a near-death state.

After a hum, Su Xiao felt relaxed all over. Morey's life-saving item was finally activated. In other words, they had already left the area where the Endless Desert was located. It was precisely because he had escaped the darkness released by the Abyss Jar that Su Xiao felt relaxed. But this feeling didn't last long before tearing pain invaded every part of his body.

The scene in front of Su Xiao began to blur, finally falling into pitch-black darkness. The wind whistled in his ears, and he judged that he was falling.

Bang.

The impact of landing appeared. The senses from every part of Su Xiao's body felt heavy, as if filled with lead. He tried to open his eyes, but found he could only open a slit, which made his vision very narrow and blurry.

His current physical condition was: severe blood loss, nine broken ribs, damaged lungs, ruptured liver, ruptured spleen, partial perforation of the trachea, moderate loss of heart function, severe internal bleeding, moderate fracture of the right leg, missing left arm...

With his current injuries, let alone an ordinary person, even a Tier 4 or Tier 5 contractor would die in a short time. He still had consciousness; willpower was one aspect, and high soul strength was also very important.

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

The release fragments stripped from the crystal arm stabbed into every part of Su Xiao's body. Since his consciousness was still relatively clear, he had to find a way to control his severely injured body that couldn't move.

With his eyes closed, Su Xiao, covered in blood, stood up from the ground. He couldn't see the surroundings, which didn't matter. He could feel the wind through his already dull sense of touch on his body surface. There was wind blowing, representing that he was exposed in the wilderness or other vast terrain.

Su Xiao didn't know if there were large wild beasts in the place where he was. He had to ensure one point: it was best to be in a place without wind, which could both prevent flying creatures from seeing him and avoid the blood smell on his body from drifting away with the wind, attracting large carnivorous animals.

There was only one chance to find a shelter. Su Xiao clearly felt his consciousness beginning to sink. He controlled his body to lift his hand by controlling the release fragments in his body, and used the index finger of his crystal arm to tap the Dragon Flash.

Clang.

A sound wave spread, mixed with blood Qi. Through this sound wave, the environment within a few hundred meters around was deconstructed and appeared in Su Xiao's mind for an instant.

This was a group of abandoned buildings. Most of the buildings were open-air, leaving only walls. 12.7 meters to the east, there was a large hall. It could still shelter from the wind and rain, at least it could avoid the wind blowing away the blood smell on his body, thereby attracting carnivorous wild beasts.

The crystal layer appeared on Su Xiao's body, sealing all wounds to avoid leaving bloodstains along the way. He controlled the release fragments in his body to move forward step by step. Finally, when his consciousness was dizzy, he arrived at the predetermined location, inside a large hall.

Su Xiao sat in the corner of the wall, his head gradually drooping, and his consciousness began to fall into pitch-black darkness. He felt a bit regretful in his heart. The small glass bottle that was originally hanging on his waist, which looked like an ornament, was lost. It contained 【Vitality Original Liquid】.

Now that he could inject 【Vitality Original Liquid】, his body would recover faster. Now he could only wait for his body to heal itself, at least to the extent that he could open his eyes and move lightly. Once he reached that extent, he would have a way to recover quickly.

As his consciousness fell into darkness, Su Xiao fainted. He had done everything he could.

About a few minutes later, the sound of armor clashing came. A figure walked into the dilapidated hall, looking at Su Xiao with a calm gaze. He whispered: "Truly, a terrifying person." ===== CHAPTER 3225 =====
