Chapter 3236

Su Xiao felt like needles were pricking his whole body. Because the surrounding walls touched the orange light, they made a sound of zi la, zi la, as if there were invisible sharp objects in the orange light, scraping across the wall like a bone-scraping knife.

Su Xiao determined the source of the strange noise. He jumped backward and jumped to the stairs higher up behind him.

After stabilizing his figure, he felt dizzy in his brain, and double images appeared in front of his eyes, as well as blurry orange halos. This color was turbid, dazzling, and had a sense of inexplicable weirdness and distortion.

A few minutes later, Su Xiao's senses calmed down a bit. Contrary to what he expected, there was no big boss waiting in the deepest part of the nightmare, but something called the Swollen Eye.

Just now, in a daze, Su Xiao saw a large mass of sarcoma in front. This sarcoma was circular as a whole, and connective tissue like optic nerves grew behind it. In this sarcoma, which was nearly three meters in diameter and had exposed flesh, a large eye was wrapped.

This large eye had a white fundus and a black pupil, as if it were a normal eyeball magnified thousands of times. Being watched by it, sanity value would drop wildly, probably slipping by about 34 points per second.

Just in a short while, Su Xiao's sanity value slipped to 322 points. According to the prompt of Reincarnation Paradise, as long as he was watched by this Swollen Eye for 60 seconds, his resistance in this regard would be significantly improved, and he would receive the gift of this large eye. What exactly it was, he didn't know.

Not to mention 60 seconds, Su Xiao couldn't even withstand 10 seconds. To withstand the gaze of this thing for 60 seconds, he needed at least 2040 points of sanity value.

Zi la, zi la~

The orange light emitted by the Swollen Eye watching the front scraped the walls and stairs into pits and bumps.

Su Xiao wrote a string of words on the wall. Half a minute later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha had a reply, one word: "Empty."

This meant that in reality, there was no Swollen Eye at the end of the underground passage where Su Xiao was. Perhaps the body of the Swollen Eye was in another place, or perhaps this thing only existed in the nightmare and had no body in reality. Su Xiao was more inclined to the latter.

The source of the strange noise was found. The appearance of Nightmare · Yongwang Town was also eight or nine out of ten because of the Swollen Eye. The next thing was very simple: destroy this thing.

A crystal thorn nearly two meters long appeared in Su Xiao's hand. Now there was no release on his sleeve, so he could only treat this thing as a release. As for the knife light that slashed out in an arc, he could do it, but the power of that kind of knife light was not very good. If he wanted to improve controllability, he had to sacrifice slashing power.

Su Xiao was just about to control the crystal thorn to fly diagonally downward when he suddenly remembered one thing, which was the bonus of the 【Church Knight Head Bucket】.

Equipment effect: Mind Restraint (Passive), after wearing this equipment, the upper limit of sanity value is temporarily reduced by 50%, but the slipping speed of sanity value can be significantly suppressed.

Su Xiao thought of the 【Church Knight Head Bucket】 at this time, not without reason. His other equipment, including Zhan Long Shan, couldn't be brought into the nightmare, but the 【Sun Church Set】 was brought in without missing a piece, and the bonuses were all there.

This made Su Xiao think that the believers of the Sun Church would occasionally enter this kind of nightmare, so the 【Sun Church Set】 developed this kind of characteristic.

The current Sun Church and the previous philosophy were different. The 【Sun Head Bucket】 increased the upper limit of sanity value by 50%, but the resistance in this regard was reduced. This was clearly to support the upper limit of sanity value to extend the time for exploring areas like nightmares.

To deal with the slow slipping of sanity value, the 【Sun Head Bucket】 was better. This was equivalent to treating sanity value as life value to stack the upper limit of life value.

The head bucket of the Sun Church in the past, which was the 【Church Knight Head Bucket】, reduced the upper limit of sanity value by 50% and obtained high resistance in this regard.

Facing the situation of sanity value dropping wildly, the 【Church Knight Head Bucket】 was better. This was to reduce "life value" and let oneself have stronger "defense."

Su Xiao was considering whether there was such a possibility, that is, the Sun believers in the past would occasionally encounter existences like the Swollen Eye, so they needed such high sanity-type resistance.

To this day, the Swollen Eye had become less, and areas like nightmares had become more, so the Sun Church gradually changed the characteristics of the head bucket to provide the survival probability of the Sun believers.

Su Xiao tried to take out the 【Church Knight Head Bucket】 from the storage space and succeeded. This gave him one more point of confidence. The Sun Church set had extremely strong adaptability to nightmares.

Taking off the 【Sun Head Bucket】, Su Xiao put on the 【Church Knight Head Bucket】. There was a faint shampoo scent in this head bucket, which should have been left by Morey.

After changing the head bucket, Su Xiao walked down the stairs. After walking a few steps, orange light shone from the front, and dazzling halos appeared in front of his eyes. His vision began to have double images.

Zi la, zi la...

In the orange light, the sound of scraping glass came from the surroundings. Su Xiao no longer felt the severe pain of the whole body just now, but was just slightly dizzy from being shaken.

【Hint: You are being watched by the Swollen Eye. Your sanity value is reduced by 2 points (exclusive resistance exemption, significantly reducing the slipping speed of sanity value).】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao knew his guess was correct. Judging from the form of the Swollen Eye, it was not too difficult to kill.

The double images in front of his eyes gradually disappeared. Su Xiao adapted a bit to the orange light shining from the front. He narrowed his eyes and looked around. A painting on the right wall attracted his attention.

This painting looked pitted and bumpy and was already very blurry. Vaguely, one could see that it was a human figure. One hand of the human figure was behind its back, and the other arm was stretched flat, with its index finger pointing to the right.

Su Xiao hesitated for a moment and made the same posture. A few seconds later, his index finger pointing to the right attracted the attention of the Swollen Eye. Its pupil also tilted to the right, which made the orange light shining on Su Xiao fade a bit.

【Hint: You are being watched by the Swollen Eye. Your sanity value is reduced by 1 point (corresponding resistance exemption, significantly reducing the slipping speed of sanity value, the Swollen Eye's line of sight is shifted, and the sanity value slipping caused is reduced by 50%).】

Su Xiao kept his left hand behind his back and his right arm stretched flat, with his left index finger pointing to the wall on the right.

After less than half a minute, the Swollen Eye finally reacted. There was nothing on the right, and it still had to stare at Su Xiao.

Seeing this, Su Xiao put down his right arm, put his right hand behind his back, stretched his left arm flat, and pointed his left index finger to the wall on the left.

After changing direction, sure enough, the pupil of the Swollen Eye shifted to the left, and it went to see what was on the wall on the left, as if asking: "What are you pointing at?"

The Swollen Eye's reflex arc was mysteriously long, lasting nearly half a minute. When the Swollen Eye found that there was nothing on the left wall, its gaze focused on Su Xiao again. 60 seconds had passed.

【Hint: You have endured the 60-second gaze of the Swollen Eye.】

【Your resistance to "Turbid Light" is permanently increased by 120 points. Except for a few elite individuals, you can exempt most of the Swollen Eye's gaze on you.】

【Because you endured the 60-second gaze of the Swollen Eye, you will obtain "Turbid Light Rune Seal."】

【Turbid Light Rune Seal: This is a consumable, cannot be brought to this world, can release 10 seconds of turbid light.】

Su Xiao didn't see the 【Turbid Light Rune Seal】, but soon, he found where the 【Turbid Light Rune Seal】 was. The Swollen Eye directly in front of him had the orange light in its eyes quickly gather, forming a triangular light rune in the pupil. Almost at the same time, the same triangular light rune appeared on the center of the eyebrows of the head bucket Su Xiao was wearing. It was first engraved, then gradually faded.

This is a good thing. When fighting enemies, suddenly activating this thing, the enemy's sanity value will definitely drop wildly. Although the enemy will undergo spiritual beastification, before that, the enemy will be confused for a while. This opportunity is enough for Su Xiao to solve the enemy.

After forming the 【Turbid Light Rune Seal】, the Swollen Eye became weak. The connective tissue like optic nerves connected behind it wrapped it in it, squeezed it with brute force, and shrank it.

Zing.

The knife light flashed, and a section of the Swollen Eye's optic nerve was cut off. The next second, the Swollen Eye was wrapped smaller and smaller by its own optic nerve, from three meters in diameter to half a meter, then basketball-sized, fist-sized, until it turned into a small point emitting orange light and disappeared.

Su Xiao changed the head bucket he was wearing. After putting on the 【Sun Head Bucket】, his sanity value reached 172/545 points. With his sanity value dropping so much, Su Xiao didn't have emotions like irritability, just feeling very sleepy.

Po~

A ripple spread around. Seeing this, Su Xiao rushed out of the underground passage and headed straight for the mayor's three-story building.

When Su Xiao felt that the world around him had begun to bump, he lay on the bed in the bedroom on the second floor of the mayor's house. A few minutes later, everything around him collapsed.

With a boom, everything around him shattered. Su Xiao felt himself sinking into pitch-black water. At the bottom of the dark water were thousands of Swollen Eyes, and deeper down were pale arms trying to reach upward.

Su Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed. He woke up from the nightmare. A slippery touch came from his hand. What he was holding in his hand was a section of the Swollen Eye's optic nerve.

After leaving the three-story building, Su Xiao nailed a sign to the door, on which was a small section of the Swollen Eye's optic nerve, and four words: "Source of strange noises."

The mission requirement was to make the source of the strange noises public. Leaving these, someone would see them soon.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang ran from the street, and Baha also flew down and landed on Su Xiao's shoulder. Taking the two of them, Su Xiao walked along the street of Yongwang Town toward the outside of the town.

Facing Su Xiao's figure, the morning sun rose from the horizon. The nightmare was long, but it was dawn.

【Hint: Faction Mission · Strange Noises in Yongwang Town has been completed.】

【You have obtained 7830 faction reputation points (originally 4500 points, initial evil faction increased by 45% faction reputation acquisition).】

Counting the reputation points he had in his hand before, Su Xiao's Sun Church reputation reached 12086 points. This meant he had starting capital. After returning to the Sun Church, he could use the 【Oath Emblem · White Dragon】 to earn reputation points without leaving home, and exchange for items such as 【Scroll Fragments】, 【Iron Box】, 【Sun Flame · Burst Burning Imprint】, 【Solidified Sun Blood Crystal · Extra Large Block】, etc.

Plus the two faction permissions of "cost-price procurement" and "return," the speed of earning reputation points was faster.

Su Xiao, who was prepared to go back and make a fortune in silence, didn't know that compared to his side, Sin Abyss, Wood, Morey, Moon Apostle, Lilim, and others were at war with the Sun Monarch. Over there, they were almost beating people's heads into dog heads.
