Chapter 3290

In the dilapidated temple, blood flowed down the walls. A figure sat leaning against the wall. His face and exposed skin were covered in star patterns; he was a Star Race member from the Void.

"Who... are you? I don't have... the scroll fragments. What is the point... of killing me?"

The Star Race member's expression was calm. In fact, he was not born a Star Race member, but a prisoner bought by the Star Race. When he woke up, he found that he had become the appearance of the Star Race, and then the Star Race let him participate in this scroll battle.

This was very much in line with the style of the Star Race. Among all the major Void races, the Star Race was the most xenophobic. Everyone who married into the Star Race or became a son-in-law had to become a Star Race member later in life.

But there was one point: although the Star Race was xenophobic, as long as one married into or became a son-in-law of the Star Race, they were one of their own. The Star Race was famous for being protective of their own and united.

At the moment, sending out mixed-blood Star Race members transformed from prisoners was a common method of the Star Race. They cherished their clansmen very much. The Star Race belonged to the kind that if you didn't provoke them, they would smile and chat with you; if you provoked them, they would still smile and chat about reason, but if the other side didn't talk about reason, the Star Race would kill the other side's entire family, leaving not one behind.

The initial contact was gentle and kind, with arrogance hidden in their hearts. Once the Star Race felt that they had formed a feud with someone, they would immediately transform into an executioner, as ruthless as possible.

In the dilapidated temple, the mixed-blood Star Race member was already on the verge of death. In the next second, a water mark streaked across his neck. Water Brother, sitting in the darkness opposite, opened his listless eyes.

Water Brother, triple kill. Looking at this momentum, it wouldn't be long before Water Brother would be super god.

After a full meal, Su Xiao leaned back in his chair, holding a cigarette between his fingers. Although none of the people present were particularly good at cooking, this Sun Bird stewed with mushrooms was really too fragrant. If Amu were here, it definitely wouldn't be enough to eat.

A warm feeling emerged in his stomach. After eating this meal, Su Xiao's health points permanently increased by 128 points, plus 1 point of fire resistance. He didn't have the corresponding ability, but he still had an increase after eating this meal. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's increase can be imagined.

At this time, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was already drowsy. Sometimes it would suddenly disappear from Su Xiao's perception, and appear again after a while.

"Wait for the Light Flame Lord, or start the plan directly?"

Siniyas, with a toothpick in his mouth, spoke. This meal made him feel satisfied. What made him even more satisfied was the "Sun Bird · Source Blood" obtained this time. He was only willing to absorb half of it, and the remaining half, Siniyas wanted to keep and take back to his wife. This was a rare good thing.

"Start directly. The Light Flame Lord might have had a problem. It is not wise to wait for him to attack."

Wood meant to start immediately and arrange the Sea God side.

"Start tomorrow."

Su Xiao spoke. With Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's current state, today was not suitable for launching the plan.

"Can do, then start tomorrow morning."

"See you tomorrow morning."

Wood and Siniyas left one after another. The servant sent by Bolosi walked into the room to clean up the cups and bowls.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting, Su Xiao took out a lunch box and let the servant pack the remaining Sun Bird stewed with mushrooms in the iron pot. This thing was very rare. Food stored in the storage space would not go bad and could be kept for future eating, and let Amu and Benny taste it too.

Su Xiao took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja to the detached small courtyard next door. After entering the courtyard gate, there were yellowing fallen leaves everywhere, and a fountain pool. Walking into the two-story mansion, Su Xiao leaned on the sofa. This major trouble, the Sun Bird, was finally solved, which made him feel a bit more relaxed.

Looking through the announcements, Su Xiao found that following the participants of the Sanctuary Paradise, two more people were carried away, namely the participants from the Wind Sea Continent and the Star Race.

Looking backward, those who hadn't participated in the battle were basically medium-sized races in the Void. The first three couldn't stand, and those who came later would be carried away faster.

Someone was clearing people, or clearing participants who had just entered the Painting World and didn't have scroll fragments in their hands. This didn't look normal no matter how you looked at it. The risks and benefits were not equal.

Unless someone was helping Crow Girl clear people. Previously, the Arcane Eternal Star was temporarily eliminated. When the participants rotated to a certain extent, Crow Girl could enter.

The people who would help Crow Girl enter could only be two parties: Water Brother and the Apocalypse sisters. Lilim's side was impossible; the Demon Race and the Arcane Eternal Star had been looking at each other with displeasure for more than a day or two.

The possibility of the Apocalypse sisters doing this was very low. The reason was that wanting to hire these two little rich women to do dangerous things required an astonishing amount of soul coins. They themselves were particularly rich, and if the price wasn't particularly high, they wouldn't consider it. If it was too dangerous, even a high price wouldn't move them.

Few people hired assassins to hunt down the contractors of the Apocalypse Paradise because they were too rich. After the assassins arrived, they would offer several times, or even dozens of times the price, to bribe the assassins to kill the employer.

This matter was actually not rare. Being an assassin was not a glorious job, nor was it a mysterious profession. Su Xiao used to do this line of work. Others gave money, and he took lives, taking lives by any means necessary. It was that simple.

If the price offered by the target was too high, and it was a lone assassin, it basically developed into: 'Need more money.'

Excluding this, only Water Brother was left. Water Brother had already achieved a triple kill. When his winning streak stopped, it basically meant that Crow Girl had entered this world.

Regarding how to arrange Crow Girl, Su Xiao already had a rough idea. He had just killed the Sun Bird, and it was unwise to go one-on-one with Crow Girl in the short term.

In that case, he had to prepare how to arrange the other party. He narrowed his eyes and began to conceive various possibilities in his mind.

Perhaps Crow Girl never dreamed that before she even entered the Painting World, someone had already started to predictively arrange her.

That afternoon, Su Xiao ended his daily meditation. He took out the 【Spirit of Thunder】. The 【Spirit of Thunder】, which was like a cluster of fine tree roots intertwined together, had a tendency to turn golden on the outside after attracting lightning once.

This time Su Xiao attracted lightning and discovered an extra harvest. At this time, some World Thunder was stored in the 【Spirit of Thunder】. This World Thunder was transmitted into the 【Spirit of Thunder】 through resonance.

In other words, the lightning stored inside was the World Thunder that Su Xiao attracted with Elemental Affinity and had not been weakened by seawater.

Discovering this, a slight smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. This was an opportunity for lightning body tempering. The World Thunder inside the 【Spirit of Thunder】 was pure enough, and the quantity was not large, which was very good.

To be on the safe side, Su Xiao took out a bottle of 【Vitality Stock Solution】 and placed it on the table, and called Baja over. If there was a problem, he would give himself a shot of recovery potion.

"Boss, it is said that lightning can temper the body?"

"..."

"If it's effective, shall we all try it once?"

Baja's eyes were shining. Su Xiao didn't speak and activated the World Thunder inside the 【Spirit of Thunder】.

*Snap～*

Golden electric arcs spread. Su Xiao's brain buzzed, and he almost said goodbye to this world. With the 【Sacred Cross Badge】 as insurance, his attempt was of course much bolder.

Three hours later, Su Xiao placed the 【Spirit of Thunder】 on the coffee table. Facts proved that World Thunder could not temper the body. After three hours of tempering, Su Xiao's Strength, Agility, and Stamina attributes didn't increase at all. Lightning resistance, however, increased from 124 points to 130 points.

This was a matter of course. Constantly being electrocuted, it would be strange if lightning resistance didn't increase.

"Boss, can it really temper the body?"

"Hmm."

Su Xiao didn't say anything else and closed his eyes to meditate. Baja was energized. It tried to activate the 【Spirit of Thunder】 with servant permission. It was impossible for it to attract lightning, but activating this equipment to release the lightning inside was no problem. Adjusting to a low-medium frequency, Baja also began "body tempering".

*Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle～*

Baja was electrocuted until all its feathers stood up. A few minutes later, it spat out a wisp of black smoke. Wanting to ask, but hesitating for a moment, feeling that it might be because the time was not enough, it pressed its eagle claws on it again.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..."

After Baja resisted for a few more minutes, it fell over there and didn't move.

At 9 o'clock that night, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who had been sleeping soundly until now, finally regained consciousness. Digesting the flesh and blood of the Sun Bird gave its mental outlook a brand-new look.

As soon as Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang walked out of the bedroom, it saw the flashing golden electric arcs and Baja, who was shivering.

"Xiang Bubu, come quickly, this is the body tempering method newly developed by the boss. The Stamina attribute is rising steadily."

Baja grabbed the 【Spirit of Thunder】. After being electrocuted by World Thunder for an afternoon, it had no other gains, but its lightning resistance reached 39 points from 26 points. It rose very fast in the early stage, slowed down after 50 points, and even slower after exceeding 100 points.

This was the characteristic of World Thunder. Often being electrocuted by World Thunder, and if not electrocuted to death, lightning resistance would soar. As for the experience during this period, one could guess a thing or two from Baja's "sincere invitation" to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked at the 【Spirit of Thunder】 and suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Su Xiao ate an orange and said it was very sweet. He gave the rest to Baja, Baja also ate it, and then gave it to Benny. After Benny ate a slice, she said it was great and gave it to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. After Xiang Bubu ate it, it almost went sour. It didn't know if that orange had a thing with a lemon; the sourness was explosive.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang shook its head while retreating, while Baja's expression remained as usual, saying: "Hmm, you just finished improving, it's also okay to improve after stabilizing."

Hearing this, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang hesitated a bit. It thought, why not give it a try?

"Woof."

"Catch."

Baja threw the 【Spirit of Thunder】 out and activated it at the lowest amplitude by the way. Xiang Bubu caught it with its mouth.

"Woo-hoo."

*Tut, tut, tut... *

Xiang Bubu danced awkwardly on the spot. Heaven knows why its mouth was electrocuted, but its hind legs kicked so fast.

Su Xiao ended his meditation, looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang who was "dancing awkwardly", and didn't stop it. In the future, he would still use "Heaven's Wrath · Thunder Rush". Not only Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja, but Benny and Amu's lightning resistance also needed to be brought up. As the saying goes, not one can run away, just like that green orange a long time ago.

Checking Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's data, Su Xiao found that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's improvement this time was very large.
