Chapter 3393: Fishing (Revised)

~23 min read 4,583 words

After settling the details with Caesar, Su Xiao hung up the communicator. That Some Qiyuezhe farming faction reputation was the key to this plan.

The first choice for this person was a Some Qiyuezhe from the Apocalypse Paradise. This was not for any special reason; the Contractors from the Holy Light Paradise and the Watcher Paradise had already been beaten to the point of being unable to take care of themselves. Currently, the total number of Contractors from both sides in this world did not exceed 40.

On the other hand, there were at least 600 Contractors from the Apocalypse Paradise in this world.

Why were the Contractors from the Apocalypse Paradise different from those from the Reincarnation Paradise? Just the difference in the penalties for main missions destined that the Contractors of the two sides had different styles of conduct.

In the Reincarnation Paradise, at Tier 1, facing the forced execution of a main mission was very desperate. Failure meant death, and the price was too painful. At that time, some of their own Contractors would start to become mentally abnormal, showing strong aggressiveness, high vigilance, and other situations.

After reaching Tier 2, their own Contractors still found it hard to accept the forced execution of main missions, but they were no longer so desperate; they were considered to have initially adapted. During this period, their mindset was: whoever dares to provoke me, I will destroy them immediately.

At Tier 3, their own Contractors were already accustomed to the forced execution of main missions, but some people's mental states became strange.

At Tier 4, their own Contractors had completely adapted to the forced execution of main missions, their mental states improved, some liked to smile, and some were "sunny warm men."

At Tier 5, when their own Contractors saw the mission penalty/forced execution, they would smile, thinking: "Damn, there's so much mission description, I thought it was a very difficult mission."

At Tier 6, when their own Contractors saw that the mission penalty was all attributes -10 points, they would panic, desperately hoping that the mission penalty was forced execution, because in some cases, the heavier the mission penalty, the lower the risk of the mission.

At Tier 7, when their own Contractors saw that there was no penalty for this mission, the thought must be: "Damn! I haven't done anything against the rules recently, how did I get a mission with no penalty? Is this trying to make me die?"

By Tier 8, when their own Contractors saw that the mission penalty was forced execution, they would smile and think to themselves: "Stable."

Of course, this was also in some cases. No matter how difficult a war mission was, the mission penalty was always forced execution.

According to Su Xiao's rich experience, the specific difficulty of a war mission could be seen from the length of the mission description. If the mission description was particularly long, particularly detailed, and even pointed out what you should do next, consider your funeral arrangements. Don't treat yourself badly recently, eat whatever you want to eat.

On the other hand, Contractors from the Apocalypse Paradise rarely received forced execution. Once they did, their whole person would be refreshed and alert, always in a state of combat.

Fake Apocalypse Paradise Contractors: King of Mines, Prince of Team Battles, Mutual Help and Encouragement.

Real Apocalypse Paradise Contractors: Afraid of forced execution, very afraid of forced execution, especially afraid of forced execution!

Different environments would give birth to different strong people. After reaching high tiers, the Apocalypse Paradise was definitely the leader in terms of the number of Contractors.

It wouldn't work to just catch any random Apocalypse Paradise Some Qiyuezhe. What Caesar wanted to do was to test crazily while being stripped of his Arbiter identity.

Caesar emphasized more than once that he must catch a Some Qiyuezhe with a high brand reputation. From his tone, it could be heard that the risk he was taking this time was not small, which was why he emphasized this point many times.

That Caesar was willing to take risks reflected something from the side—of course, it was that the Demi-human Alliance's military arsenal was rich, otherwise that guy would have already made a fortune and slipped away.

Wanting to catch an Apocalypse Paradise Some Qiyuezhe was actually not simple, and catching an Apocalypse Paradise Some Qiyuezhe with a high brand reputation was even more difficult.

Just relying on luck to catch one wouldn't work; it required precise positioning and then catching. To do this, one had to first satisfy one point: activate the 【Apocalypse】 title, thereby disguising oneself as an Apocalypse Paradise Some Qiyuezhe, so as to activate the world communication platform of the Apocalypse Paradise in this world, and take precise positioning by speaking in it.

To activate the 【Apocalypse】 title, one had to find an enemy Some Qiyuezhe. There were no requirements for this; after finding one, just drag them into the "Sealed Realm."

Su Xiao had to do this himself; others could not replace him. If there were possible assassinations and ambushes from the Demi-human side, and he was surrounded by a large army while prepared, he wouldn't need to venture into mission worlds; he would have died in some previous world long ago.

Let Amu and Beni stay in the fortress. The former was the strongest single-combat power in Su Xiao's team besides Su Xiao himself, and the latter was the mastermind. Beni often turned on "orphan mode," so there was no need to worry about the mastermind aspect.

Further down, there were also Warrior Leader Hausman, High Priestess Octavia, and Head Chef Ms. Motie.

Even if Su Xiao left for a period, there would be no problems.

The Pig-headed Men purchased from the Human side were sent in batches. The subsequent process was to take a refreshing bath, have a full meal, and enter the Evolution Nest. The result was about an 80% probability of becoming a Wild Boar Warrior, a 10% probability of becoming a Dwarf Boar, and a 10% probability of dying in the Evolution Nest and being absorbed by it.

This was not an absolutely accurate probability, but it wasn't far off. The Sun Fortress's troop strength was constantly growing in this way. If there were enough Pig-headed Men, they could increase by about 96,000 Wild Boar Warriors and 12,000 Dwarf Boars every day.

Their side was developing, and the enemy side was also gathering. After passing this period of peace, the subsequent period would likely be a continuous fierce battle.

Having made up his mind, just as Su Xiao was about to stand up from the sofa and set off for "Kevab Ring City," a fluctuation mixed with heat and blood appeared. He took out a glass bottle as thick as a finger from his bosom. On the Devourer Boiling Red fragment inside, red tentacles emerged.

Seeing this, Su Xiao knew that his research all along had finally yielded a certain degree of return.

The various attributes of the Devourer Boiling Red were far worse than the first-generation Black A, even if her growth speed was faster, it couldn't cover up her shortcoming of a low ceiling.

Boiling Red actually sacrificed a lot. Her strength didn't lie in herself. Su Xiao didn't just make that kind of Devourer that could only keep getting stronger by relying on the host getting stronger. Boiling Red was fundamentally different from Black A. Black A was strong on its own, while Boiling Red fought by relying on her "daddy."

Boiling Red had two "daddies." The first was the "Dark Demon Blood Shadow," and the second was the "Spirit Shadow Secret Puppet."

Having two big daddies was the most powerful point of Boiling Red. The host Dorothy was defeated, the second daddy "Dark Demon Blood Shadow" entered the field; the second daddy was also defeated, and the big daddy "Spirit Shadow Secret Puppet" went online.

Su Xiao looked at Boiling Red in the small cylindrical bottle. Boiling Red had this reaction, which meant that her main body located within Dorothy felt danger.

Opening the glass bottle, the Boiling Red fragments inside shot out and clung to the back of Su Xiao's hand. He had originally planned to set off now, but because of this interlude, he would have to leave after a while.

Su Xiao raised his left hand. Seeing this, Baha's eagle claws grabbed the Black King Armguard and removed the opened Black King Armguard.

Su Xiao closed his hands together. The Boiling Red fragments clinging to the back of his right hand transferred to his palm and climbed toward the tips of his ten fingers.

He pulled his hands to both sides, and blood-colored silk threads were pulled out between his fingers. This was Boiling Red pulled to the fineness of hair.

After doing all this, Su Xiao closed his eyes. Images from nowhere gradually became clear before his eyes. This was not a first-person perspective, but Dorothy's third-person perspective. He could see her back, as well as the braids she had tied. Her braids were almost hanging down to her calves, with small metal rings tied to the tips of her hair.

The black soft fabric gloves Dorothy wore on her hands were also one of her characteristics. Her situation at this time was very bad.

This location was between "Kevab Ring City" and "Loash," a large area of ancient ruins after a disaster. At that time, black rain fell, order collapsed, and various cults were rampant. These ancient ruins were left behind at that time and had existed for over 300 years.

The construction quality of these ruins was so top-notch that they were naturally taken a fancy to by a hunter organization. This hunter organization was named "Catcher Group," engaged in hunting work, going to the West Forest area to hunt alienated beasts.

Why not go to the Border Area in the east? This was easy to understand. The West Forest area was a large forest. Although there were alienated beasts there, they couldn't form a scale. The Border Area in the east was a place to risk one's life, adjacent to the territories of alienated beasts.

This group called "Catcher Group" not only dared not go to the Border Area, but also because on the way to the West Forest area, they could reach the border of the Human territory. Besides hunting alienated beasts, they also captured Human children from the Human territory, or captured Demi-human children along the way. This was also the bulk of their business.

It is worth mentioning that although the slave trader Aziba considered himself scum, this dwarf brother particularly looked down on this "Catcher Group." Aziba's argument was that trafficking children was a garbage act; he only sold adults.

Although Baha wanted to popularize to Aziba that both were illegal, and it was just a difference between one being scum and the other being garbage, Aziba firmly believed that he was one level higher than the "Catcher Group."

At this moment, inside these ruins, in a large hall, in this hall with a theological style, there were many blood-stained iron cages piled up. These iron cages were all empty; they had just had a "shipment." Not only that, these iron cages were like candles melted into a soft pile on the ground, and the nearby walls were covered with cracks and bloodstains.

"Hoo. Hoo~"

Dorothy's left arm hung limply, and blood dripped down her chin. She was panting heavily, her low-slung figure seeming as if she would fall at any moment.

A few meters around her, more than a dozen men and women with various weapons half-surrounded her. These were hunters. The door of the large hall behind was tightly closed. This metal door was a modern creation, with a factory mark of a certain steel plant on it, followed by a row of numbers.

Located further behind these hunters with different expressions, there was a row of flat tables. A man with green curly hair, a goatee tied into a thin braid on his chin, was gnawing on a braised bone with both hands. Sometimes when he bit the bone, a large piece of the bone would be bitten off.

This person's figure was thin; he was the boss of this hunter group, named Kanwu.

Kanwu threw away the large bone stick in his hand. This bone stick was so clean that even a dog would want to scold him after seeing it. He wiped his mouth casually, looked at Dorothy who had fought to the limit, and said:

"Little girl, where on earth did you pop out from? Did we kidnap your relatives?"

Kanwu's voice was dry and hoarse, and a pair of pupils that were white made people feel panicked.

"No."

Dorothy spat out blood-stained saliva.

"Then is there something wrong with you? Daring to come and kill my people."

Kanwu pointed to his own temple, meaning Dorothy was mentally ill.

"You are the lackeys of the Xin race, and the things you did, you all deserve to die."

"Lackeys of the Xin race?"

Kanwu looked at his subordinates on his left and right, speechless for a moment.

"When did I become a lackey of the Xin race? We just sell the extraordinary resources produced from alienated beasts to them. Do you have a grudge against the Xin race?"

"Yes."

"Then you go to the Xin race, why come and kill my people..."

Kanwu was even more speechless. Hearing this, Dorothy looked a bit awkward. She felt that even at this time, the other party didn't seem to have any need to lie to her. She would definitely die here.

"I'm very sorry, I misunderstood you."

Dorothy apologized first, then continued: "Apologies are apologies, but you guys also deserve to die. You scum who bully the weak, let's continue fighting."

Dorothy's left palm released steam. Unfortunately, compared to when the battle just started, the amount of steam she released was significantly reduced, and she couldn't dissolve the enemy in a short time.

Boom!

After a muffled sound, Dorothy was blasted away. It was Kanwu who made the move.

Kanwu's expression was lazy. Looking at Dorothy half-embedded in the wall, he always didn't understand one thing: this little girl didn't know how to use a knife at all, yet she kept holding the long knife that fell after his subordinate died.

In fact, Dorothy, who was half-embedded in the wall, also didn't know why she was holding a long knife in her right hand. She had long wanted to throw away this cumbersome thing, but the Boiling Red in her body refused, making her right hand always hold this knife. Her left arm was already broken, and her right hand was still holding the knife. It would be strange if she didn't get beaten.

Dorothy used her last bit of strength to break free from the wall. She knelt on the ground with a thud. After barely standing up, her whole body felt like it was about to fall apart.

"Why isn't she dead yet? Strange."

A female hunter spoke. She pulled a dagger from her calf, preparing to throw the dagger to pierce Dorothy's skull.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred. A layer of blood-colored grid appeared around Dorothy, and with a "clang," it deflected the thrown dagger.

Under the astonished gaze of Kanwu and others, Dorothy's head drooped and she fainted. An arm suddenly protruded from the side of her neck, causing Dorothy to passively tilt her head. Looking closely, one would find that this arm was not a physical entity, but composed of blood energy.

An arm, a shoulder, and most of the body emerged from the side of Dorothy's neck. An arm rising with blood smoke grabbed the hilt of the knife in Dorothy's hand and took the knife from her hand.

A blood-energy figure appeared. Its height was two heads taller than Dorothy's. Its image was bare-chested, with tattered cloth strips like a skirt on its lower body. Its face was blurred, and its long hair was scattered messily.

Zing!

A slash flashed by, and the blood-energy figure disappeared. It was already standing behind the female hunter who had just thrown the dagger. The headless corpse of this female hunter sprayed blood and fell to the ground. After the skull flipped a few times in mid-air, it also landed with a "thud."

Kanwu's eyes showed fear, and the other dozen hunters didn't dare to move. That slash just now was really too fast.

"This fri..."

Zing!

A buzzing sound rang in Kan Wu's ears, and his vision spun. The last scene he saw was that blood-aura figure standing not far away, with the reckless young girl who had attacked them floating behind him. Beyond that, Kan Wu also saw his dozen or so subordinates, all of whom had their heads severed; over a dozen heads were sent flying into mid-air. The enemy was simply too fast.

Before dying, Kanwu's last thought was: 'Grandma, if you had this ability, why didn't you say it earlier? If you had said it earlier, we would have run away earlier.'

A moment later, all the hunters in these ancient ruins were killed, all beheaded with one slash.

The blood-energy figure gradually dissipated, turning back into blood energy, and merged into Dorothy's body. A few seconds later, the floating Dorothy fell to the ground with a "thud."

At the same time, in the General Control Room of the Base Fortress, the Boiling Red between Su Xiao's hands turned back into a semi-fluid piece. The "second daddy" of Boiling Red, "Dark Demon Blood Shadow," had solved the battle without the big daddy "Spirit Shadow Secret Puppet" appearing.

Where did "Dark Demon Blood Shadow" come from? This had to be said about the previous world, the desert in the Painted World. The source blood sample of the six-body blood-energy monster encountered at that time was partially kept by Su Xiao and added to Boiling Red.

"Dark Demon Blood Shadow" was automatic and didn't need to be manipulated. "Dark Demon Blood Shadow" would use Dorothy's instincts to kill all living beings around.

"Dark Demon Blood Shadow" was not invincible. What to do if "Dark Demon Blood Shadow" was beaten away? It didn't matter, there was a stronger "Spirit Shadow Secret Puppet."

The principle of "Spirit Shadow Secret Puppet" was that after "Dark Demon Blood Shadow" was beaten away, it wouldn't disappear, but could merge into Dorothy's body.

By then, it would be Su Xiao manipulating from a super long distance, just like manipulating a marionette, manipulating Dorothy, who had the energy blessing of "Dark Demon Blood Shadow," to fight, switching from automatic to manual.

Black A was growth potential, Boiling Red was manipulability, and Dark Sun was energy compatibility. Each type of Devourer had different characteristics.

Su Xiao sealed a small part of Boiling Red and put it away. He took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha down to the underground mine and proceeded along a passage. When he returned to the ground, he was already near the territory of alienated beasts on the other side of the fortress.

Along the rock wall of the Border Area, Su Xiao rushed at full speed. After making a long detour, he finally arrived at the border of the Demi-human territory two hours later after taking a detour through a mountain cave on the south side.

At this time, Su Xiao had changed his clothes. Not only did he wear a hood, but he also wore a mask. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha didn't need to disguise themselves; one blended into the environment, and the other followed Su Xiao in the different space.

Su Xiao first arrived at the Free City. Through the members of the Steel Brotherhood who were ambushed here by the Human forces, he borrowed a teleportation array that went directly to "Kevab Ring City" at the cost of 30 kilograms of active ore.

The soft spatial fluctuation made Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Baha all feel uncomfortable. It was far less powerful and had less push-back feeling than the Demon race's teleportation array.

Arriving at "Kevab Ring City," there was no time to appreciate the scenery here. Su Xiao first went to a small hotel in a small alley that provided special services and retrieved an entry permit under the pillow in Room 207.

"Kevab Ring City" was divided into the Inner City and the Outer City. The outermost circle was a 100-meter-high ring-shaped city wall. After entering, it was the Outer City, and then there was another circle of city walls. Only after entering that was the Inner City.

Where there were intelligent beings, there would be class distinctions. It was the same here. As a ring city with laws, "Kevab Ring City" was a rare paradise on this continent. Many high-level Demi-human Alliance members lived here.

Su Xiao was currently in the Outer City. The reason he came here was not only because Caesar was in the Outer City here, but also because there were many Apocalypse Paradise Contractors here.

Coming to this small hotel was to retrieve the official document Caesar placed here for entering and exiting the city gate. Without this thing, it would be very troublesome to want to go out of the city gate.

Two hours later, in a mountain cave 3 kilometers east of "Kevab Ring City."

A man holding a high-tech short energy cannon and wearing kinetic armor walked slowly into this mountain cave. In front of him was an old man with a terrified expression. He was skinny as a rail, and blood had soaked most of his clothes.

"Are you sure it's here?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's here. After it's done, please, you must let my granddaughter go."

"Stop talking nonsense, continue leading the way."

The Some Qiyuezhe wearing kinetic armor was a bit impatient. Following the old man in front, the two came to a cave, where the area was about several dozen square meters.

"I've brought the person. I'll take the subsequent reward from Mr. Caesar."

The skinny old man no longer had the appearance of being coerced. He was just like an old jackal.

The old man looked at the man wearing kinetic armor and smiled meaningfully. Greed would blind a person's mind.

"Your granddaughter is still in the hands of my friend..."

The man wearing kinetic armor had already noticed that the situation was wrong, but unfortunately, it was too late. This was a trap set by Caesar, specifically to fish for Contractors who were greedy enough.

"Young man, my granddaughter... is a monster that even I am afraid of. Pray that your friend is okay."

After the old man said this, he leaned tightly against the mountain wall behind him. On the other side, Su Xiao, who was sitting on a stone platform, stood up and appeared in front of the enemy the next instant.

"Wait..."

The Apocalypse Paradise Some Qiyuezhe, who was lured here due to greed, had just spat out half a word when his figure suddenly disappeared and was dragged into the "Sealed Realm."

A few minutes later, Su Xiao appeared out of thin air. With Caesar's assistance, things went very smoothly, and the 【Apocalypse】 title was successfully activated.

【Prompt: Apocalypse title has been activated.】

【Apocalypse】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise/Apocalypse Paradise.

Category: Title

Title Effect: Apocalypse Brand (Active). After activating this ability, you will temporarily activate the Apocalypse Paradise Some Qiyuezhe Brand within this title and can use this brand.

Selling Price: Cannot be sold, can be temporarily transferred.

Su Xiao put on the 【Apocalypse】 title. After activating the Apocalypse Brand inside, he tried to open the world communication platform.

【World communication platform has been activated.】

It didn't ask Su Xiao to rename it. Discovering this point, Su Xiao knew that subsequent things would be easy to handle. The Some Qiyuezhe he and Caesar chose had tried to pit Caesar yesterday, and the result could be imagined. However, as a Quartermaster, Caesar naturally chose to forgive this Some Qiyuezhe.

The next day, when Su Xiao approached Caesar and asked him to help find an enemy Some Qiyuezhe, Caesar immediately thought of this person. For this reason, Caesar even added money and charged Su Xiao 1,000 Soul Coins.

Now it seemed that these 1,000 Soul Coins were well spent. Su Xiao used this Apocalypse Paradise brand to activate the world communication platform, and it didn't ask him to rename it, which meant he was speaking using the speaking name that this Some Qiyuezhe had used before.

This was very good. Why was Caesar not holding a grudge? Was his mind suddenly broad? It was not. The person Caesar targeted was not only a Some Qiyuezhe but also a miner.

For Su Xiao, this was very good. Speaking as a miner would inevitably make the enemy paralyzed and careless.

Su Xiao could completely use the method of hiring at a super high price to attract tool people to help farm reputation and exchange items at Caesar's place.

Having determined the train of thought, Su Xiao began to edit the speaking information, the content being: "Due to an accident, the mining cave being mined was occupied by a Tier 8 extraordinary beast. Now, a powerful Some Qiyuezhe is urgently needed to help clear this Tier 8 extraordinary beast. If the current location is 'Kevab Ring City', not counting the combat time, the round-trip distance does not exceed 2 hours. Those interested, please contact. The reward after the event is 8,500 Soul Coins."

After editing this information, Su Xiao chose to publish it on the world communication platform. Just a few minutes after publishing, he received an email sent using the coordinate of the speaking just now. After opening the first one, he found that it was actually sent by Morey, the content being:

"I am a Battle Angel, very strong..."

Seeing the content, Su Xiao closed it immediately.

Several more emails appeared one after another. After Su Xiao scanned them one by one, he found an email from an acquaintance, the other party named Tyrant.

This Tank-type named Tyrant hadn't died yet. Su Xiao felt slightly surprised in his heart. This guy was a tough nut to crack and not suitable to be a tool person.

Reading the next email, Su Xiao's eyes lit up. This email was sent by Hao Mei. Because this woman was very active in the world communication platform, Su Xiao had asked Morey and the Moon Apostle about her before. The information he got was that this woman was very rich, and the adventure group behind this woman was not easy to provoke.

When Morey said this adventure group was not easy to provoke, her expression was complicated. Not easy to provoke was within the Apocalypse Paradise, and generally, no Apocalypse Paradise adventure group that hadn't lost its mind would do such a thing as hunting down a Hunter from the Reincarnation Paradise.

Su Xiao's impression of Hao Mei stayed on the aspect of being very rich, which made him couldn't help but think that this was simply a collection of a cash-out girl + reputation tool person.

After Su Xiao finished reading the content in the email, he immediately replied to Hao Mei, the content being: "Thank you for your trouble, see you at the scheduled location in an hour."
