Chapter 3372: The New Scraping Technician

The Sun Fortress became cold and quiet. The entire fortress was semi-sealed. Entering through the main gate, one would find the first floor very spacious; in this vast area, there was only the iron chair in the center and Su Xiao sitting upon it.

There was still some time before the world coordinate began to construct. It was certain that the contractors from the Saint Light Paradise and the Watcher Paradise would first send out reconnaissance squads, especially since both sides had leaders.

Su Xiao had heard of the leaders of the Apocalypse Paradise, Saint Light Paradise, and Watcher Paradise. Golden Earl was the leader of the Apocalypse Paradise this time. This man spoke little; although serious, he did not put on airs as a leader and possessed rich experience in "one god leading many pits."

Golden Earl could become the leader this time because he had led other contractors to win world conquest battles in previous tiers.

Generally, such strong individuals from the Apocalypse Paradise were particularly difficult to deal with. The difficulty of "one god leading many pits" could be imagined. Golden Earl had walked this path all the way; he had to have a little bit of deficiency, or he would have followed in the footsteps of Queen Xi and Black Bee. It could only be said that this brother was too hard.

Golden Earl's comprehensive ability was strong. Compared to him, the leaders of the Saint Light Paradise and Watcher Paradise this time were equally tricky.

Saint Poetry was the leader of the Saint Light Paradise this time. Su Xiao understood her information very comprehensively. This was because of the grudges with the Grey Gentleman and Fairy Ji.

Saint Poetry was a super big healer. Based on the intelligence Su Xiao had, it seemed there was no healer in the eighth tier stronger than Saint Poetry. Of course, it did not exclude those low-key healers whose healing output was more astonishing than Saint Poetry's.

Saint Poetry and Fairy Ji—one was the executioner of the Saint Light Paradise (similar to a hunter), and the other was a rule-breaker of the Saint Light Paradise. Both were eighth-tier, and the grudges between them were not a matter of one or two days.

As a big healer, how did Saint Poetry fight Fairy Ji? The answer was that Saint Poetry was a bit special as a healer. Originally, she was just a healer with strong healing output, until her profession awakened, and she could summon the "Saint Song Knight Order."

This was a 12-person knight order, among whom were melee, ranged, tank, sensory, and control types.

The "Saint Song Knight Order" was originally powerful. They would improve their comprehensive strength due to Saint Poetry's real intelligence and real charm attributes.

That wasn't all. As a top-tier eighth-tier big healer, Saint Poetry could also bless the 12 members of the "Saint Song Knight Order" with various buffs and continuously restore their mana during battle.

What was even more speechless was that the "Saint Song Knight Order" had a characteristic: they were a guard group. After Saint Poetry summoned them, they would set a one-way "Life Rock" with Saint Poetry.

After this ability took effect, during battle, Saint Poetry's body would transform into an elemental physique. She would be injured and could die, but she would continuously "reborn" due to the effect of the "Life Rock."

Before killing all 12 people of the "Saint Song Knight Order," Saint Poetry could not be killed. Saint Poetry herself was a super big healer. With her there, the "Saint Song Knight Order," which was already powerful, would become particularly difficult to kill.

Thinking this was shameless? No, the more shameless part was yet to come. As a healer, Saint Poetry's mana was not infinite, but she could borrow the body energy of the 12 members of the "Saint Song Knight Order" and convert it into mana to continue casting healing abilities.

This was not the most mentally collapsing part. The "Saint Song Knight Order" seemed to cooperate perfectly, but that was all an illusion. These 12 bastards were all "dual-blade brothers." When fighting intensely, they would throw away all shields and heavy swords, pull out dual long blades, open their berserk mode, and 12 dual-blade mad dogs would go online.

This "undying healer + 12 mad dogs" lineup had almost beaten Fairy Ji to the point of vomiting back then. Fairy Ji did not reject fighting; instead, she enjoyed it, but she would turn and retreat when encountering Saint Poetry. It wasn't that she was afraid of Saint Poetry, but that there was no combat experience. This 13-person combination was too disgusting. You fought them for a long time, only to find that their health was almost full, while you were about to die.

Among the three leaders, the last one was Orlandi of the Watcher Paradise. This brother was the most prestigious tank Su Xiao had ever heard of. He didn't use a shield, and his abilities were simple to the point of being unbelievable: the harder you hit him, the harder his counterattack would be.

Fighting to the eighth tier, Su Xiao had fought many tanks and found a problem: those tanks who didn't use shields were generally very prestigious, while those who used shields were generally human sandbags.

Among the three paradise factions, the strongest three were the three leaders. Among them, Saint Poetry's information was the most comprehensive, Orlandi's only core abilities were roughly known, and there were many unknowns, while Golden Earl's was the least known.

Su Xiao pinched the half-world core between his index finger and thumb. The dim light shining from above made the inside of the world core seem to contain everything.

Appreciating it for a moment, Su Xiao's thumb buckled, flicking the half-world core in his hand.

The world core flew to the highest point and fell at a constant speed. Beside the iron chair, a masked man half-squatting on the ground, less than half a meter away from Su Xiao, looked up at the flying world core. The masked man appeared translucent; this was his stealth state. As long as he held his breath, the stealth rank would have an additional boost.

As the world core fell, the masked man's gaze moved down with it. The world core landed back in Su Xiao's hand.

The masked man's gaze shifted, and he suddenly discovered that Su Xiao, half a meter away, was supporting himself on the iron chair armrest with his right forearm, looking at him sideways. That gaze seemed to ignore his foolproof stealth ability and looked directly at him.

Eye to eye, the masked man's scalp was about to explode. His throat was dry, his bladder was swollen, his soles were soft, and his temples were throbbing. In his heart, he was almost roaring: "He didn't see me! He didn't see me..."

In the masked man's nearly desperate gaze, Su Xiao turned his head back, leaned on the seat, picked up the long sword resting in his lap, tapped it on the ground beside his leg, and pressed his right hand on the end of the hilt.

The masked man's eyes were full of disbelief. He clearly felt that the enemy had discovered him just now, but that didn't matter. He had to leave immediately, away from this humanoid big boss.

The masked man rushed forward at full speed. His body felt light, and he fell to the ground with a thud. This stunned him; he had actually tripped on flat ground.

The masked man tried to get up, only to find that his lower body had disappeared. Turning his head to look, the path he had rushed along was full of fallen internal organs, his intestines dragged out long. His body below the waist was still standing in place, and because there was no upper body, it fell backward with a thud.

The masked man's pupils trembled, and severe pain struck. He touched his throat with one hand, covered in blood. This let him know that his throat had been cut. Just now, he had been waist-cut and his throat cut, but he had no awareness of it.

The masked man's vision went black, and his field of vision gradually shrank into a line. He used his last strength to shift his gaze and saw the last scene of his life.

Dim light shone from above, and a man sitting on an iron chair held the world core between his fingers.

Finally, the masked man, as an assassination-type, fell into pitch-black darkness. In front of the main gate of the fortress, a sensory-type who had just sneaked in saw this scene, and her legs went soft with fright. Now she just wanted to leave.

This sensory-type, codenamed Tiya, realized something was wrong as soon as she entered. After witnessing the masked man's miserable death, she just wanted to escape now.

Tiya took a step back, unable to care about anything else, and wanted to take out her life-saving item.

Zzz—

The Boundary Breaking Line retracted. Tiya, whose neck was entangled by the Boundary Breaking Line, was hung up. She struggled hard, and the sharp Boundary Breaking Line gradually cut into her skin, blood flowing down her fair neck.

Boom!

The Blood Spear struck, and Tiya was nailed to the high wall. The Boundary Breaking Line retracted, and the blood energy exploded. The impact caused a large rain of blood to fall.

A piece of dark blue semi-fluid surged out, and in a short while, it swallowed the corpses of the enemies on the first floor of the fortress, leaving not even a trace of blood. This was a semi-finished Devourer, which Su Xiao used as a cleaning tool for now.

All of this that happened was witnessed by a weak-looking little boy standing straight in the corner. He looked like an exquisite porcelain doll. At this moment, the little boy was pressed tightly against the wall behind him. Not to mention moving, he didn't even dare to breathe.

Blood energy was released with Su Xiao as the center point, like pulses, sweeping across the surroundings. A moment later, the blood energy was retracted by Su Xiao, and he continued to close his eyes and rest.

Seeing this, the little boy in the corner walked slowly, pressed against the wall. He was not sure if his stealth ability could deceive that humanoid big boss, but he had to try.

The little boy walked along the wall uneasily for a minute before reaching the main gate. As a sensory-type of a large adventure group, Xiao Pei really wanted to run to his team members immediately. Every time he came to sense a big boss, he had this thought.

Just as Xiao Pei maintained his stealth state and walked out of the main gate on tiptoe, a big dog walked towards him. The big dog twitched its nose, sniffing for something. After determining the source of the scent, the big dog raised its head and looked straight at Xiao Pei.

"Woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, and Xiao Pei couldn't care about anything else, rushing towards the border of the Kin territory at full speed. Seeing him run, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang immediately chased after him.

"Waa!"

Xiao Pei, chased by the dog, burst into tears, and it was a loud wail. This involved a shadow from when he was younger.

Xiao Pei ran with all his might in front, crying loudly while running, while Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang chased behind, incomparably happy.

After Xiao Pei ran a long way, he finally "shook off" the big dog behind him. He sat on the pebble beach, gasping for breath.

"Slowly raise your hands, otherwise, I will carve the pattern I like on your little face."

A female voice reached Xiao Pei's ears. The other party was very close to him, her body almost sticking to his back. He could even feel the heat she exhaled, blowing the sweat on his ears.

A girl with metal patterns on her face appeared behind Xiao Pei. The metal patterns on both sides of her cheeks were like the whiskers of a feline animal, spreading to behind her ears. This person was the metal girl who had assassinated Hunter Tide.

"You are a contractor of the Watcher Paradise, and I am a contractor of the Saint Light Paradise. How should you please me so that I will let you go, little guy?"

The metal girl squatted behind Xiao Pei. Her sharp metal nails slid across Xiao Pei's face. Xiao Pei, sitting on the ground, swallowed his saliva.

"Xiao Pei? Why are you here? Aren't you with the leader and the others?"

A muscular man with a bare upper body walked over. Seeing him, Xiao Pei's eyes lit up, and he said urgently: "Brother Dean, save me, this perverted big sister wants to kill me."

"Cough, Xiao Pei, don't say that. We are allies with the metal girl now."

The muscular man, Dean, looked slightly embarrassed and gave Xiao Pei a look, meaning that knowing the metal girl was a pervert was enough; they were allies, so saying it directly was not good.

A moment later, more than thirty contractors gathered around. The leader was a man in a black robe with gold embroidery on the edges. He wore a hood, and his face could not be seen, only a pair of eyes could be seen. These eyes were soul-piercing, as if they could see through the soul. This person was Soul Master, a strong man of the Saint Light Paradise.

This team of more than thirty people met by chance on the way, and then formed. Now the Saint Light Paradise and the Watcher Paradise were fully allied. This was the benefit of having a common enemy.

More than thirty contractors, including Soul Master, Metal Girl, and Muscular Man Dean, had different expressions after listening to Xiao Pei's narration. Metal Girl asked:

"You said that in that abandoned fortress, there is only one contractor of the Apocalypse Paradise? And he is holding the world core? This wouldn't be a trap, would it? Is the main force of the Apocalypse Paradise ambushing nearby?"

Metal Girl was full of confusion, and so were Muscular Man Dean and the others.

"Saint Poetry shared information with me 5 minutes ago. The main force of the Apocalypse Paradise is in Freedom City."

Soul Master spoke. Hearing his words, the eyes of all the contractors lit up.

"In other words, the current garrison has only one contractor of the Apocalypse Paradise, and he is carrying the world core."

"Don't think about it, it must be a trap."

"Not necessarily. In the past, there were many cases of 'one god leading many pits' in the Apocalypse Paradise. Should we wait for the main force, or do it now? Everyone should know how much battle merit we can get by taking down the world core at this juncture."

"That makes sense. If it were those lunatics from the Reincarnation Paradise, this situation would definitely be a trap. It's really not certain for the Apocalypse Paradise."

"There are more than 30 of us, it should be no problem to surround and kill one person. That person is not Golden Earl, the strongest of the Apocalypse Paradise, and more importantly, Soul Master is here. How about it? Do we do it or not?"

"Do it!"

All the contractors looked at Soul Master. Soul Master nodded slightly, agreeing to the proposal to take the world core now.

Who gave these contractors the courage to break into the fortress now? The answer was that Soul Master gave them the courage. After all, this was a big shot with soul-type abilities.

All the contractors didn't know that their opponent was most unafraid of two types.

The first type was magic-type, after all, Su Xiao was a Law-Exterminator.

The second type was soul-type, because Su Xiao's current soul strength was 560 points. Most soul-type abilities hitting him were only the difference between "local scraping" and "large-area scraping."
