Chapter 3231

After some inner struggle, Morey muttered that she wanted to take the 9000 soul coin route, but actually paid 12,000 soul coins. This was indeed not Morey being cowardly; although she had used recovery potions, her injuries had not fully recovered.

In just a few minutes, 17,000 soul coins were in hand. In the early eighth stage, Su Xiao couldn't even get 17,000 soul coins by fighting through a world. With these soul coins, he could improve his passive abilities again.

Under the night, Su Xiao took out a head bucket and a bottle of 【Sun Potion】. He poured out some of the 【Sun Potion】, smeared it on the inner wall of the 【Church Knight Head Bucket】, and then put this head bucket on Morey's head.

Su Xiao walked toward the outside of the valley. Morey knocked on her head bucket, wanting to ask, but didn't ask much, and followed closely behind.

After passing the path in the backyard, Su Xiao stopped at the back door of the cathedral. The reason was that Morey stopped walking. Morey went through two seconds of psychological struggle, and finally gritted her teeth and followed behind.

Su Xiao walked in front, and Morey followed behind like a little follower. After passing the lobby on the first floor of the cathedral, the two walked out of the main entrance of the cathedral and marched in the wilderness at night for more than ten minutes. Su Xiao stopped.

"Give me the head bucket, you are free."

Hearing this, Morey took off the head bucket. After tidying up her pink short hair that hung to her ears, she handed the head bucket back to Su Xiao.

"It's just like a dream."

"Hmm?"

"These 17,000 soul coins of mine, spending them is just like a dream."

Morey looked at the full moon in the sky, as if thinking about life, and mourning for the 17,000 soul coins that died miserably.

"Disappear within 10 seconds."

"It's just 17,000 soul coins, it doesn't hurt, not at all."

Morey, with tears in her eyes, ran far away. Unfortunately, she hadn't realized the severity of the matter yet.

Su Xiao looked at Morey's disappearing back, and a plan had already formed in his heart. With the wealth of this Battle Angel, losing 25,000 to 30,000 soul coins, let alone revenge, she might forget it after feeling the pain for a long time.

Although Morey had slipped away, she had a mark on her body. From the perspective of resource recycling, in a few days, Su Xiao could implement the following plan in real-time.

First, use reputation points to exchange for Sun Stones, then use Sun Stones as remuneration to hire a few or a dozen Sun believers who are good at ambushing and capturing alive to capture Morey.

After the capture is completed, Morey will be sent to the valley in the backyard of the cathedral. At that time, Su Xiao can repeat tonight's deal. As a second deal, he can give Morey a 15% discount, which is 14,450 soul coins. After all, it is the second cooperation. As for Morey not agreeing to the deal, of course, he also has to give a discount—break her legs.

In the wilderness at night, Su Xiao didn't intend to return to the cathedral in the back. He headed straight toward Yongwang Town to investigate the strange noises there.

In addition to this faction mission, after entering the Sand World, Su Xiao also received a side mission. The mission content was:

【Contention War · Side Mission: Hoarding Habit.】

Difficulty level: Lv. 77～???

Mission information: Collect 25 scroll fragments in this world.

Mission deadline: Before leaving this world.

Mission reward: Random Origin Stone extraction permission (can be used after returning to Reincarnation Paradise).

Mission penalty: Charm attribute -5 points, Luck attribute -3 points.

This mission is very difficult, but there is also a simple mode, otherwise the minimum mission difficulty for collecting 25 scroll fragments would definitely not be Lv. 77.

Su Xiao's gaze turned to Caesar, who had insisted on staying to watch how Su Xiao brewed the potion.

Caesar and the King of Hair are both Arbiters, but the difference between the two is huge.

Fake Arbiter · King of Hair: The wife in many people's dreams, beautiful, kind, and just. During the World Contention War, she supervises outside the battlefield, upholding a fair attitude, never doubting the hints and announcements of Reincarnation Paradise and the Tree of the Void, and never stepping into the war zone for half a step.

Real Arbiter · Caesar: Vulgar temperament, treacherous, a super unscrupulous profiteer, his own life comes first, money second. During the World Contention War, he never supervises in one place, but ignores all kinds of warnings, goes deep into the war zone, first colludes with his own combatants, then sneaks into the enemy camp, incites infighting in the enemy camp, then coordinates with his own combatants from inside and outside, and finally gives the enemy a heavy blow to win the victory.

Su Xiao closed the mission list. This mission is worth his risk. The 【Random Origin Stone extraction permission】 is very rare. He has two Origin Stones, one complete ordinary 【Origin Stone】 and 【Origin Stone · World (1/5)】.

【Origin Stone · World】 is indeed a top-tier Origin Stone, but if it is only one-fifth, its effect is only slightly stronger than an ordinary 【Origin Stone】, and the strength is limited.

In this case, it is really better to get a complete Origin Stone with a suffix, and then he can sell the ordinary 【Origin Stone】 in his hand.

Su Xiao has a slightly devilish idea, which is to sell this 【Origin Stone】 to the God Emperor Adventure Group. It has been a long time since he sheared the sheep. If he shears it once, he will definitely be able to shear a lot of good things. The God Emperor Adventure Group has been promoted to the sixth stage for some time, and this is a large adventure group, which is a different concept from a single sixth-stage contractor.

Su Xiao marched south all the way. Although this place is called the Sand World, except for arriving at the endless desert when he first entered, he didn't see too many things related to sand in this world.

As he walked, a muffled thunder came from the sky. Not long after, raindrops fell on Su Xiao. They were very cold, cold to the bone marrow.

Pitter-patter~

The drizzling night rain fell. Su Xiao raised his hand. After a while, some rainwater gathered in his palm. With the help of the faint light, he saw that the rainwater emitted a hint of red, eerie, ominous, and even... emitted a sense of madness.

A tenacious but not strong vitality was contained in this rainwater. Being nourished by this rainwater, he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Su Xiao knew why the Sand World was not a desert. It used to be like that. One could hear this from the titles like the Sun Monarch, and this blood-colored rainwater changed all of this.

【Warning: Your sanity value is slipping.】

【Your sanity value is reduced by 1 point, currently 538/545 points.】

Su Xiao took a black umbrella from his storage space and opened it. With his resistance in terms of sanity, after being drenched by this rainwater for a period of time, his sanity value still decreased. If a civilian were drenched by this rain, it wouldn't take long to reach spiritual beastification.

Dark Rain Forest, the rain was drizzling. Tian Yu sat in a tree hole. An ugly scar appeared on his originally handsome face. However, for him, this was not a problem. After returning to the Void, there were many ways to remove this scar.

Looking at the light red water puddle gathered outside the tree hole, Tian Yu began to think about life. After he defeated his inner beast in the endless desert and arrived at this forest, he decided that he would hide in the dark from now on. He wouldn't play with those old schemers anymore, stay far away from those people. He didn't believe those people could do anything to him.

"Let you fight it out, it's best if you all die."

Tian Yu sighed, and fire rose in his heart. Since coming to the Painting World, there was nothing he could look up to. Thinking of this, Tian Yu scratched his neck. The side of his neck was very itchy, extremely itchy.

After scratching for a while, Tian Yu felt that his hands were wet. He looked at his hands, which were bright red, all blood.

"This..."

Tian Yu suddenly discovered that his left leg had no feeling. On the inner wall of the tree hole in front of him, a painting appeared. This painting was a leg, to be precise, it was Tian Yu's leg downgraded from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, becoming a flat surface like a painting.

Not far from this "leg painting," a figure stood there, also in the form of a painting on the inner wall of the tree hole. Seeing this figure, Tian Yu's pupils shrank rapidly, and he exclaimed:

"Wood..."

Pfft!

An arm with withered flesh and blood, thin to the bone, broke out from the side of Tian Yu's neck, forcing Tian Yu to tilt his head. Only to see this arm arched, supporting itself on Tian Yu's face with one hand, and began to drag other body parts out.

"Ah!!"

Tian Yu let out a desperate scream. The wound on the side of his neck became larger and larger. First, a skull inlaid with black gems the size of rice grains crawled out, followed by a body thin to the bone, etc.

After Tian Yu wailed for more than half a minute, he fell to the ground with a thud, very weak, and drool flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Wood, covered in blood, stood up. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers. A blood-red contract parchment crawled all over Tian Yu's face. This was a backup plan Wood had prepared long ago.

"Hoo~"

Devil race · Wood exhaled a cold breath, then took a deep breath. The feeling of being alive was really good.

"Wood, we have also been to... Luowisiko together. For the sake of this friendship, don't, silence me."

Tian Yu's body twitched, like a tattered sack.

"We are good brothers, don't worry, I won't kill you, relax."

Wood said this, and suddenly stepped on Tian Yu's head. With a crack, he crushed Tian Yu's head to pieces. Tian Yu's body convulsed twice, and finally stopped moving, completely relaxing.

Fifty kilometers away from Yongwang Town, next to an abandoned roadside hotel.

Su Xiao sat on an old chair. It was already eight o'clock in the morning. The sunlight was blocked by the tattered shade cloth overhead.

Su Xiao was waiting for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha. The rain had stopped this morning. Before the rain stopped, one thing happened: the Feather race was out, which meant Tian Yu was dead.

Su Xiao, Sin Abyss, Wood, Lilim, Morey + Moon Apostle, represented five factions. The Painting World could accommodate up to seven factions. With a vacancy, a new faction would immediately fill it, unless they died to the point where there were no new factions.

Tian Yu died, which meant a new faction was about to enter. The speed of inviting the next victim was a bit fast. Before, the Watcher Paradise exited, and it was not clear which faction's combatants entered. Now that Tian Yu died, the third new faction entered.

Looking at the momentum, in the end, it might really die to the point where no new factions enter. If that were the case, it would be lively. What about the vacant faction spots? Randomly draw a lucky audience at the arena?

"Woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's bark came. Su Xiao checked Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's data. Xiang Bubu's sanity value was: 102/113, which was still stable. If it didn't encounter ghosts, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's sanity wouldn't drop wildly.

After waiting for nearly another hour, Baha flew over.

"Boss, Sin Abyss will be very quiet in the next two days."

Baha landed on the tattered wooden table, shook the feathers on his body, and began to narrate the intelligence from their side to Su Xiao.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Baha, Sin Abyss, and Lilim had all gathered around the Moon Apostle before, escaping by relying on the Moon Apostle's "power of wealth."

The location where they entered the Sand World was not far from the Sun Monarch's territory. After inquiring about intelligence in a semi-abandoned village, Sin Abyss suggested going to rely on the Sun Monarch to seize scroll fragments.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha didn't express their stance. They would definitely leave. The Moon Apostle and Lilith were a bit troubled. Lilith had overdrawn her awakened power before. She fixed the blood-aura monster in place for nearly 3.5 seconds. Without her hand, that battle would likely have been lost.

Sin Abyss used regeneration ability and immortality characteristics as core abilities. After arriving at the Sand World, the combat power gap between the two sides was particularly obvious.

What Sin Abyss didn't expect was that the Moon Apostle, relying on her "power of wealth," took out a 【Holy Extreme Flame Scroll】 from her storage space. Teacher Moon gave Sin Abyss a lesson: spending money can really make you stronger.

Sin Abyss was of the Ancient God system. If he weren't strong enough, the 【Holy Extreme Flame Scroll】 would definitely have taken his life.

After listening to Baha's narration, Su Xiao basically understood the current situation. The current stage was very stable. At most after 2 days, Sin Abyss and the undead Wood would start making trouble. It was highly likely to go and make trouble for the Sun Monarch.

What was even more lively was that two new combatants were about to enter. I don't know if there was the Crow Woman from the Arcane Eternal Star, or other acquaintances from other paradises.

Taking Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha, Su Xiao walked toward Yongwang Town. When the temperature gradually rose with the rising sun, Su Xiao arrived at Yongwang Town.

The whole town had only one main street, with orderly buildings on both sides. Several civilians sitting on the steps in front of the buildings looked fierce. They didn't belong to any kingdom and were not bound by anything.

Su Xiao, an outsider, walked into the town. Pairs of eyes watched him from the buildings on both sides of the street, but soon withdrew. Su Xiao's Sun Church attire was too easy to recognize, especially the 【Cruel Saw Blade】 on his back and the Sun head bucket on his head.

Without any obstruction, Su Xiao arrived in front of the three-story building of the town mayor and knocked on the door.

Dong dong~

Su Xiao had just knocked on the door twice when the door was opened a crack. It was pitch black inside the crack, and only one bloodshot eye could be seen. The pupil of this eye was a turbid brownish-yellow, and the pupil was severely dilated.

Bang!

The crack was immediately closed tightly. After the person inside the door coughed lightly, they asked calmly: "Are you a believer of the Sun Church?"

"Yes."

"Thank you for being able to come. Recently, there have been strange noises as soon as night falls. The people in the town are very panicked."

The man who was suspected to be the mayor said inside the door, his voice calm but revealing helplessness. This was completely two different mental states from the eye in the crack just now.

Su Xiao held the handle of the saw-blade knife on his back with one hand. The mayor of Yongwang Town had a problem and needed treatment. He was prepared to adopt "saw-blade therapy," which was fast-acting and guaranteed a radical cure.
