Chapter 3415: Siege

Borderlands, the sky is clear and cloudless. The Storm Winged Dragon with black-blue feathers flies across the sky.

The sound of the wind whistles past Su Xiao's ears. He deliberately let the Storm Winged Dragon lower its flight speed to make it easier to overlook the Gobi below.

The entire Borderlands is a large Gobi, with very little green space and scarce water sources. No wonder the Demi-humans abandoned this place as an "isolation zone" between them and the Beast Race.

After this trip, the data of the Second and Third Generation Devourers has been collected, and because these two generations of Devourers accidentally merged, plus the soul treasure chest obtained, it can be said to be a fruitful harvest.

As for whether Li Xiniwei and Xin Alice still have other secrets, in Su Xiao's view, it is no longer important. His transaction with this couple has ended. The two brought him a Devourer with almost brand-new characteristics. As a reward for cooperation, Dorothy was taken away by the Xin clan and has the protection of Di Zong, one of the four strongest people in this world.

Su Xiao knows a total of four top powerhouses in this world: Xin Di Zong of the human race, the Beast King of the Beast Race, the personal guard of the Alliance Marshal He Kendiwei on the Demi-human side, and the Tribal Witch Voloi on the islands near the mainland.

Currently, the Sun Faction has taken shape, plus the newly appeared attack probability paralysis characteristic of the "Blood Soul Power" of the War Lord. Su Xiao is not worried about the turnaround caused by these powerhouses.

The reason he let the Storm Winged Dragon circle over the Borderlands is to see if he can perfect subsequent plans here.

By tomorrow morning, the number of War Pig mounts will exceed 500,000, which means he can attack the Demi-humans.

In terms of comprehensive combat power, Su Xiao has held back such a big move for so long that he can beat the Demi-humans until they can't find north. But there is one point: like in the Canglong Continent, bringing the Wolf Cavalry Legion to charge all the way, is the final result really profitable?

The answer is, from a short-term perspective, it is very profitable, but there is no subsequent benefit.

The front-line battlefield must keep charging forward. How to stabilize the rear and maximize benefits is a problem that must be considered.

Su Xiao has a vision: every time a part of the Demi-human territory is captured, leave a part of the Pig-Headed People there, making that place the occupied territory of the Sun Faction.

This presents a two-fold problem: 1. Once the territory of the Demi-human side is encroached upon, they will inevitably slaughter a large number of Pig-headed men within their territory to prevent the Sun camp from seizing them as a source of soldiers through war.

2. Even if the Pig-Headed People take over cities without Demi-human civilians, they can't do anything. They are not Wild Boar Warriors, but laborers who have been oppressed and controlled for a long time.

The first problem is not difficult to solve; it depends on whether the heart is ruthless enough. Su Xiao only needs to show that if He Kendiwei chooses to kill one Pig-Headed Person, he will execute one captured Demi-human civilian on his side. One for one. He doesn't believe that if he raids the Demi-human side tomorrow, there won't be Demi-human civilians besieged by his side.

There are no rigid rules in the law of the jungle, but there are rules, and some rules cannot be broken.

Secondly, there is the second problem. Even if a large number of Pig-Headed People are received, they have become numb and resigned to their fate because they have been laborers for a long time.

In Su Xiao's view, this is not a problem. Although the cost of transforming these Pig-Headed People into Wild Boar Warriors is high, through the Evolution Nest, just let them obtain a small amount of Sun Power, plus they have the Sun Faith, then there is no problem. Faith is the power of the soul, and it can also break the shackles of the soul.

Because there is no need for a huge transformation in physique, just let them initially adapt to the Sun Power, and accepting 50–100 points of Sun Power is enough. This represents a sharp decrease in the death rate of transformation and a significant reduction in transformation time.

Perhaps the time to transform a batch of Sun Citizens is not even one-tenth of the time it takes to transform a batch of Wild Boar Warriors.

These Sun Citizens, who have no power but have Sun Faith, will be large in number. How much vast Sun Faith Power will such a huge faith group produce?

When Su Xiao leaves this world, the subsequent Sun Faith Power will also be transmitted from the "Sun Ring No. 2" located in this world to the "Sun Ring No. 1" he takes away under the notarization of the Reincarnation Paradise.

Sun Faith Power is a rare good thing. It can not only continuously improve the quality of the 【Sun Lord】 title, but Sun Faith Power can also be used to prepare potions, etc.

What is even more tempting is that as long as the Sun Faction in this world still exists, this benefit will be continuous. If the Sun Faction in this world develops well in the future, the Sun Faith Power Su Xiao can obtain later will be more.

A huge amount of faith power makes even people like the Tuanzhang and White Cow look at it with envy, so one can imagine its preciousness, especially faith power that is pure enough.

Su Xiao feels this plan is very feasible, and there is no cost. Active ore cannot be brought out of this world; it belongs to the inherent resources of this world and is a very good choice for transforming Sun Citizens.

Signaling the Storm Winged Dragon to change direction, in a while, Su Xiao saw the Sun Fortress below.

No sign of War Pig mounts was seen near the fortress. This was arranged by Su Xiao before he left. All War Pig mounts were hidden in underground mines and residential areas.

Su Xiao walked into the fortress, and the Sun Priestess Octavia walked toward him. The Madonna smile on her face became more and more natural, and because of the Sun Power in her body, her appearance was completely the same as a human, but her pupils were golden.

"Lord Lord, this is a 'gift' sent by the Beast Race."

The gift mentioned by the Priestess is the resources offered by the Beast Race when they softened their stance. The Priestess didn't say it that way, calling it a gift. This is a typical case of bleeding the enemy first while maintaining a polite attitude.

Su Xiao looked at the Priestess. Originally, his idea was to execute the Priestess before leaving this world to avoid her making waves in the Sun Faction when he was away.

Now it seems there is no need for this. The Priestess has found her own position. Just this Madonna smile on her face can do many things that Hausman and the Chef cannot do and cannot do.

Returning to the command room, Su Xiao opened the black pear wood box offered by the Beast Race.

【You have obtained the Old Beast King's Essence (Immortal Grade).】

【You have obtained the Overlord Essence.】

【You have obtained Active Crystal × 7.】

【You have obtained Soul Crystal (Complete) × 34.】

【You have obtained the Soul Aggregate of the Beast Forging Master, Li Niu (This item cannot be used alone; it needs to be added to the reinforcement process when using the equipment reinforcement machine to upgrade Immortal-grade equipment).】

【Hint: This item can ensure that the single-time reinforcement success rate reaches 100% when reinforcing Immortal-grade equipment from +1 to +13. After completing one reinforcement, this item will be consumed.】

【You have obtained the Evil God's Little Finger (Evil Sacrifice Item).】

【Evil God's Little Finger】

Origin:???

Type: Sacrifice Item

Effect 1: Swallow it. After eating, you will die immediately, and after 30 natural days, you will "pseudo-resurrect," becoming an agent of the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales.

Effect 2: Use this as a medium to conduct a transaction with the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales. You will exchange a high price for a certain degree of power. After this transaction, the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, will forcibly take away one of your organs as a bonus for this transaction.

Warning: The organ taken away by the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, will be regarded as an existential deficiency, not damage, and cannot be restored through conventional recovery functions after returning to the Reincarnation Paradise.

Introduction: A precious and malicious object.

Two kinds of essences. The 【Old Beast King Essence】 is not the essence of the father of this generation's Beast King. The Beast King there is not a hereditary system; it is determined by force.

The 【Old Beast King Essence】 is very precious to Su Xiao. The energy inside is relatively fresh and can be absorbed to improve the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability.

The Overlord Essence obtained this time is the largest one Su Xiao has ever obtained, a circle larger than the Overlord Essence he saw at Dudu Gugu's last time, about the size of a fist.

It is not easy for the Beast Race to keep an Overlord Essence. This thing has an irresistible temptation for Overlord creatures. Presumably, this was left by the Beast King for his descendants.

Handing it over at this time seems very wise. If he didn't hand it over, the Beast King wouldn't have descendants, and he himself would become an essence.

The 【Soul Aggregate】 of the Beast Forging Master can be used for Zhan Long Shan. What Su Xiao is most interested in is the 【Evil God's Little Finger】.

The Beast Race sent this thing, obviously with bad intentions. To Su Xiao, this is also a resource. He is a bit hesitant about whether to find Caesar and have a hard confrontation with this Evil God.

Tomorrow is the start of the final battle. Su Xiao wants to do some things today. He walked into the alchemy laboratory and stopped in front of a glass column that was half a meter thick and 60 centimeters high, placed on the table.

Inside floated a golden stone, walnut-sized, bright gold all over, with an electric arc flickering on it from time to time.

Hao Mei is the first person Su Xiao has seen who can control World Thunder. This is the other party's ultimate ability. Su Xiao cannot directly imitate it, but as an alchemist, the original girl juice, Sweet Orange, or Sweet Orange cells, were developed into Devourers. After obtaining a large amount of Hao Mei's blood, he naturally gained something.

There is still a distance to mastering World Thunder, but through a certain specificity in Hao Mei's blood, he has made a leap in the use of World Thunder.

The golden thunder stone in the glass column is what Su Xiao gathered. The effect of this 【Thunder Stone】 is that after crushing it, World Thunder can be attached to the weapon, and the effect lasts for 150–180 seconds.

It looks like a simple lightning enchantment, and a temporary one at that, but attaching World Thunder to a weapon is much more difficult than imagined.

180 seconds seems very short, but what Su Xiao is looking at is another characteristic of the 【Thunder Stone】. After using the 【Thunder Stone】 to attach World Thunder to the weapon, in the following few hours, even if the World Thunder on the weapon has disappeared, this weapon still has the characteristic of being able to attach thunder.

In the following few hours, if Su Xiao uses "Heaven's Wrath: Thunder Fall," using the blade to catch the thunder and "throwing out" the World Thunder on the blade, his blade will regain the blessing of World Thunder.

Although this blessing effect will only last for one attack, the intensity is shockingly high.

Su Xiao can completely use a super high-speed surprise sword technique after using "Heaven's Wrath: Thunder Fall." This move only needs to close the distance in a short time. In terms of attack intensity, a blade with the Thunder Fall effect has powerful lethality itself.

Su Xiao took the 【Thunder Stone】 out of the glass column. He caught Hao Mei before, but because the other party was too obedient, he was a bit negligent and let the other party slip out of the Sun Fortress. If he had known, he would have drawn blood directly when he caught her last time.

The running away of the blood-collecting girl means the number of 【Thunder Stones】 is limited. Currently, there is only one left. The remaining blood volume can probably make one more. Hopefully, he can meet the blood-collecting girl again in the future.

After getting the 【Thunder Stone】, Su Xiao's fingertips felt a bit numb. He didn't plan to save this 【Thunder Stone】 and would use it in the near future to test the effect, so as not to cause the effect to fail halfway when using the 【Thunder Stone】 to deal with a strong enemy in the future, which would be fatal.

Su Xiao studied the 【Thunder Stone】 for a while and then walked out of the alchemy laboratory. Coming to the vicinity of the "Alienation Greenhouse" on the second floor, he wanted to cultivate something through the Alienation Greenhouse.

An hour later, Su Xiao ordered the dwarf pigs to drag out all the steel cables, racks, and chains in the mine.

At three o'clock that afternoon, 5 kilometers in front of the fortress, nearly 200,000 Wild Boar Warriors surrounded the area. Their energy and spirit were exceptionally full, and their standing positions were surprisingly neat.

All Wild Boar Warriors stood in circles. Looking down from the sky, the 200,000 Wild Boar Warriors formed layers of rings, which was exceptionally spectacular.

In addition to the Wild Boar Warriors, there were 665 heavy tanks. Each of them was tied with a steel cable, and each steel cable extended to the center of the encirclement.

Located in the very center of these rings was an open space with a diameter of 30 meters. Su Xiao stood here, and the Storm Winged Dragon circled in the sky.

Su Xiao took out a treasure chest that looked like it was made of broken gems. This was the 【Gem Monster Box】.

【Gem Monster Box: After opening, there is a 50% probability of obtaining Immortal-grade Gem × 1, 45% probability of releasing a Gem Monster, 5% probability of no gain (Gem Monsters possess multiple instant-kill abilities and are extremely dangerous. After killing it, you will obtain an exclusive gem produced by it).】

If you open it after returning to the Reincarnation Paradise, although you can 100% obtain an Immortal-grade gem, you will also miss the exclusive gem produced by the Gem Monster.

45% probability, Su Xiao estimated that this probability is not low and can be tried. Plus, the Sun Faction has developed. After the Gem Monster appears, use human-sea tactics to surround it.

If the Gem Monster in the other world saw this scene, presumably it would definitely scream in horror: "Are you playing dirty? Finding so many people to target me."

If the Gem Monster came here, it might become a treasure chest before it even landed, performing a "true landing into a box."

Su Xiao didn't care about the Gem Monster's mood. In his view, opening this treasure chest to summon a Gem Monster is a high-probability positive gain. Therefore, he activated the bonus effect of 【Fate Master】, which made his luck attribute reach 64 points immediately.

With the European Emperor state on him, Su Xiao felt much more at ease. He chose to open the 【Gem Monster Box】.

With a click, the 【Gem Monster Box】 cracked in Su Xiao's hand, and the fragments slipped through his fingers. Afterward, there was silence all around. Bubu Wang looked at the ground, Baha looked at the sky, Amu looked at his Dragon Heart Axe in a daze, and Beni sighed.

The Wild Boar Warriors seemed to sense something, too. 200,000 troops, let alone discussing with each other, they didn't even dare to breathe. The air was terrifyingly quiet.

The "5% probability of no gain" also counts as force majeure. Su Xiao threw away the treasure chest fragments in his hand without changing his expression, signaling Amu to bring over a deformed creature.

This deformed creature was translucent, and the organs in its body were all complete. Except for having no consciousness and soul, it had almost everything.

Besides this, 150 【Soul Crystals (Complete)】, 10 【Soul Crystal Cores】, 1 【Abyss Stone】, and 2 【Overlord Essences】 were embedded on this deformed creature.

Su Xiao took out the Deathmatch Terminal and used it as a controller to control the actions of the deformed creature. This thing was manufactured by him through the "Alienation Greenhouse."

Why use the Deathmatch Terminal to control it? The reason is that when blocking some extraordinary powers, technological creations have high isolation. For example, after the deformed creature suffers some curse, the Deathmatch Terminal will be scrapped at most, and it cannot be transmitted to Su Xiao.

Su Xiao controlled the deformed creature to pick up a finger on the ground. This was the 【Evil God's Little Finger】. Afterward, he controlled the deformed creature to pick up a Soul Crystal (Complete) and touch it to the 【Evil God's Little Finger】.

Poof~

The 【Evil God's Little Finger】 was activated, and an aura spread out. It had only spread for a few meters when it was blocked by tree roots that suddenly appeared.

This aura immediately retracted, not daring to provoke the gradually fading tree roots around it in the slightest. Those tree roots represented the Tree of the Void. It is normal to have this situation.

The Soul Crystal (Complete) that touched the 【Evil God's Little Finger】 was absorbed. Su Xiao controlled the deformed creature to transmit a pre-set mental fluctuation, meaning it wanted to obtain power.

Black-gray mist spread along the 【Evil God's Little Finger】 and merged into the deformed creature's body. This caused the original energy in the deformed creature's body to activate, making the 150 【Soul Crystals (Complete)】, 10 【Soul Crystal Cores】, 1 【Abyss Stone】, and 2 【Overlord Essences】 embedded on it all fluctuate.

Among them, the fluctuations of the 【Soul Crystal Cores】 and 【Abyss Stone】 were the most unique. Of course, the other things were not bad either.

The evil aura within the 【Evil God's Little Finger】 sensed something, but was hesitant.

A few seconds later, the 【Evil God's Little Finger】 suddenly split, turning into a vortex. A hand covered in gray and black scales reached out from the vortex, grabbing toward the deformed creature.

The fingertips of this hand were sharp, with a total of eight fingers, no index finger, but symmetrical little fingers on both sides.

This big hand, which revealed a fishy smell and malice, pierced into the head of the deformed creature without hesitation. The deformed creature had no reaction.

The current situation was simple and clear. The Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, represented by the 【Evil God's Little Finger】, had taken a fancy to the fat sheep sacrificed this time and was preparing to kill the sheep.

The moment the hand of the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, grabbed the deformed creature, the deformed creature exploded, and the 【Soul Crystal Cores】 and other things embedded on it flew toward Su Xiao.

With such a change, the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, naturally sensed that the situation was wrong, and its hand retracted into the vortex.

Since it had already come, it wouldn't be so simple to leave.

Su Xiao slapped the ground with one hand. He had already concentrated and compressed 40% of the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy in his body into his palm. This was the energy node for starting a large-scale array map at super high speed.

With a thud, the array map under Su Xiao's feet was activated. The diameter of this array map was 20 meters, and it also enveloped the arm of the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales.

Boom!

An upward impact spread. Su Xiao, whose surrounding space was stable, felt a buzz in his brain, and the world in front of him had layers of shadows, let alone the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, who was in the space gap. It should be known that this alchemy array map was a vibration explosion aimed at space.

With a click, the space around the Evil God's arm shattered and twisted, appearing turbulent. Whether it was crushed or chose to rush out from that chaotic space and enter this world, this was the only two choices for the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales.

This Evil God was definitely an existence higher than the Eighth Tier, but Su Xiao was not afraid of the other party. He was certain that the space power of this world at the current stage was enough to crush it, because this world was being notarized by the Tree of the Void, Reincarnation Paradise, Apocalypse Paradise, Holy Light Paradise, and Watcher Paradise simultaneously.

What's more fatal is that a World Contention War is happening here. If it weren't for the 【Evil God's Little Finger】 being an item notarized by the Reincarnation Paradise, the arm of the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, wouldn't have been able to reach into this world.

After a period of spatial chaos, a behemoth squeezed out from the huge vortex.

Its height was over 15 meters. The lower body was composed of gray tentacles + whiskers + pus black mud. The upper body had hundreds of 8-fingered arms hanging down, appearing layered, and each arm was covered with scales.

The face position of its head was completely occupied by a round-barrel-shaped mouth covered with sharp teeth. The layers of sharp teeth inside were intertwined with each other. Located around this mouth was a circle of eyes. In the dozens of eyeballs, there were radial pupils.

This was the true body of the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales. In the center of its chest full of arms, a giant eye opened vertically. In this giant eye, besides anger and cruelty, there was nothing else.

The Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, made a deafening, seductive sound from its mouth. Just hearing this sound made people's hearts tremble, and they couldn't help but retch, as if they wanted to vomit out the organs in their bodies.

But the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, hadn't been majestic for 2 seconds when five-fold restraints took effect on it—the restraints of the Tree of the Void, Reincarnation Paradise, Apocalypse Paradise, Holy Light Paradise, and Watcher Paradise.

This is an Eighth-Tier war world. Except for the natives in this world, or some existences who have lived here for too long, the combat power limit here can only be Eighth-Tier. You can be stronger than the Eighth-Tier, but you cannot be a Ninth-Tier existence. If you are, you will be banned to the combat power limit of this world.

Why did Su Xiao arrange these? It is because this world is an Eighth-Tier world, and also because this world is fighting a World Contention War.

If an existence of a higher tier suddenly intrudes, if the reason is unreasonable, they will all be executed by the Tree of the Void, Reincarnation Paradise, Apocalypse Paradise, Holy Light Paradise, and Watcher Paradise.

Just like the situation in Sael Star, even if it is the level of the Underworld God, they won't come, knowing that there will be no good fruit to eat if they come. But Evil Gods are different from Ancient Gods; Evil Gods are stubborn.

Tree roots, blood-colored chains, blue fire patterns, etc., merged into the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, one after another. Even so, its combat power was still shockingly strong.

All the heavy tanks around charged in all directions. The arm-thick steel cables tied to them tightened, and hundreds of steel cables wrapped around the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales.

On each steel cable, golden patterns flashed. This was set up by Su Xiao. The energy source was the heavy tanks pulling these steel cables. The Sun Power in their bodies was enough to handle this point.

The Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, overlooked everything around. It was just about to give these stupid low-level creatures a lesson they would never forget for the rest of their lives when a signal flare exploded in the sky.

All Wild Boar Warriors knelt on one knee, pressing their hands on the ground.

With a hum, a super-giant alchemy array map appeared, and the Sun Power in the bodies of more than 200,000 Wild Boar Warriors quickly merged into this array map.

At this moment, the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, was in the center of the encirclement of all Wild Boar Warriors. In fact, it didn't want to be, but this was the location Su Xiao chose. Of course, he wouldn't let the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, feel good.

Using the Sun Power in the bodies of 200,000 Wild Boar Warriors as energy drive, the core point of the super-giant alchemy array map was activated, and a barrel-shaped energy column with a diameter of 30 meters appeared, trapping the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, inside.

Why did the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, never move? It wasn't that it didn't want to, but it couldn't move. As soon as it came, it was restricted by the combat power of the Tree of the Void, Reincarnation Paradise, Apocalypse Paradise, Holy Light Paradise, and Watcher Paradise.

If there was only one party's combat power restriction, it could recover in a short time and then enter a combat state. But the five parties didn't care about its feelings at all, and the restrictions were branded on it simultaneously. Even as an Evil God, it almost couldn't catch its breath and temporarily fainted in spiritual consciousness.

"Super-Large Alchemy Array: Sun Matrix" completed the first stage of activation. After trapping the enemy successfully, it was about to carry out the second stage of activation.

Located within the Sun Barrier, the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, who had just caught its breath, felt a strong sense of crisis, which made it have a moment of astonishment. Could these low-level creatures around it actually threaten it?

Just as this thought of the Evil God appeared, dazzling golden Sun Flame sprayed out from the array map beneath it.

Boom!!

The dazzling golden Sun Flame swallowed the Evil God. A scream like the aggregation of the voices of men, women, old, and young came out from the Sun Barrier. The Evil God was screaming.

"Roar!"

The Storm Winged Dragon soared in the sky, and Su Xiao on the dragon's back controlled the Storm Winged Dragon to lower its altitude.

Dark golden Sun Flame gathered in the Storm Winged Dragon's mouth and sprayed onto the energy outer wall of the Sun Barrier, heating up the inside of the Sun Barrier.

This Evil God is a typical case of bad luck. In fact, the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, hadn't done anything too bad. At most, it was pitting people who traded with it, or seeing wealth and greed, swallowing the trading party, etc.

It sounds bad at first, but if you look at it according to its identity as an Evil God, it doesn't seem that bad.

Nowadays, it's not easy to be an Evil God. Encountering someone like Caesar who sacrifices hemorrhoids is enough to make one's mentality explode. If you encounter Su Xiao, the terrifying sacrifice of the Evil God turns into a barbecue of a high-tier alien boss in the blink of an eye.

Inside the cylindrical Sun Barrier, the Sun Flame was surging, and the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, bumped into the barrier, causing bursts of roars. Various barrier-breaking abilities were also used.

Unfortunately, the combat power of the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, was banned to the Eighth-Tier limit. Plus, it was now equivalent to facing 200,000 Wild Boar Warriors simultaneously.

This is different from being besieged. If besieged, it would only be attacked by the surrounding Wild Boar Warriors. But at this time, the Sun Power in the bodies of 200,000 Wild Boar Warriors all gathered into the "Super-Large Alchemy Array: Sun Matrix," becoming a true 1 vs 200,000.

This is not the end. Su Xiao thought the temperature of the "barbecue oven" was not high enough, so he was driving the flying dragon outside the barrier to provide extra heating for the "barbecue oven."

After roasting with Sun Flame for an hour, the struggle intensity of the Evil God in the barrier significantly decreased. It muttered something, but it was a pity that Su Xiao didn't understand.

Evil God language is obviously not in the ranks of common languages and belongs to a niche language. From this, it can be seen how important it is to master a foreign language. If the Evil God mastered the human common language now, it could at least scold Su Xiao a few times.

Two hours later, the Evil God brother didn't move much, only occasionally whipping the barrier with tentacles.

Three hours later, the Evil God brother didn't move at all. Black-gray secretions were spat out from its round-barrel-shaped mouth.

In those dead-white eyes, it seemed to be telling something. If it knew about one thing earlier, it might have said: "You opened an empty treasure chest, it's your own bad luck, why take it out on me?"

Four hours later, the Evil God brother passed away, and Su Xiao received a kill notification.

Kill notifications are the biggest advantage of contractors and hunters, which can prevent enemies from playing dead. This also causes the price of playing dead skills in the Paradise to drop significantly. Of course, this type of ability is also useful and can sometimes deceive the natives in the mission world.

Su Xiao didn't open the barrier and roasted it for another hour. Feeling that it was thoroughly roasted, he lifted the barrier.

A heat wave rushed toward his face. Su Xiao retreated behind the wings of the Storm Winged Dragon. After this heat wave, a subtle burnt fragrance drifted into his nasal cavity.

Su Xiao stepped forward. Although he roasted the Evil God, he didn't plan to eat it. For such heretical and evil things, one must maintain a certain sense of awe.

【Hint: You have killed the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales.】

【Because the unit you killed had an original strength far exceeding yours, you have obtained a full Soul Money Bag (After opening, you can obtain 10,000 Soul Coins).】

【Because the unit you killed had an original strength far exceeding yours, you have obtained 5 Golden Skill Points.】

【You have obtained Twisted Powerful Soul (Special item. This item can be melted using the "Melting Furnace" to eliminate its evil characteristics, thereby obtaining "Liquid Soul." Pouring it on soul equipment can significantly improve the comprehensive attributes of soul equipment).】

Seeing these gains, Su Xiao's mood, which was unhappy because he opened an empty treasure chest, felt much more comfortable.

The reward for killing the Evil God was exceptionally generous, and Su Xiao could use the 【Twisted Powerful Soul】 obtained. When he killed the Blood God before, the kill reward included the 【Melting Furnace】.

【Melting Furnace】

Origin: Moon God Continent

Quality: Unique characteristic item.

Category: Special

Material: Burning Blood Moon Fragment, Molten Ancient God Bone, Origin Burning Iron, Extreme Dark Soul, World Core (Complete state).

Durability: 12371500 (Damaged state, durability upper limit significantly reduced)

Activation Effect: Melting (Passive), melt equipment, props, etc., with the fire inside.

Introduction: Look, that infinite greatness and glory, that person who puts everything into the melting furnace to forge, even the ancient gods are coveting what he created. But, does he really love what he created?

The 【Melting Furnace】 has a great background. This thing was originally preserved by the Moon God and later fell into the hands of the Blood God.

Su Xiao used the 【Melting Furnace】 to melt equipment before, and the result was a loss. After melting a "Soul Equipment: Pseudo," it was a small profit.

At that time, he tested that the 【Melting Furnace】 was for melting souls. Now it seems that its correct way to open it is to melt the soul of the Evil God.

Why doesn't the equipment introduction directly state this point? Su Xiao estimated that it was 80-90% likely that one of the Moon God or Blood God had set up some means.

Expecting these two ancient gods to say the true usage of the 【Melting Furnace】 before they died was completely impossible. The Moon God was killed by Apollo's intracranial high temperature, and the Blood God was killed by Apollo's intracavitary high temperature. These two old brothers, one was closed in the Moon God Palace, and the other was slowly recovering from damage in the Dark Prison, also closed. Analyzing carefully, it seems they didn't do anything wicked.

Su Xiao ignored these for the time being. He was a bit curious about the relationship between Ancient Gods and Evil Gods.

Su Xiao's personal feeling is that Ancient Gods are blatantly doing evil, such as sucking worlds, etc., while Evil Gods are doing bad things secretly.

If nothing goes wrong, after returning to the Reincarnation Paradise alive this time, the soul equipment at Reed's place will be finished. At that time, he can use the 【Melting Furnace】 to melt the 【Twisted Powerful Soul】 and test the effect.

Commanding the Wild Boar Warriors to process the remains of the Evil God, Su Xiao found that this Evil God had 9 hearts, 7 of which were roasted, 1 was half-cooked, and the last one was in the center, completely fresh, with gray-black divine blood inside.

Besides a fresh Evil God heart, Su Xiao also got a lot of Evil God brain fluid, as well as fresh flesh and blood, energy connective tissue, etc.

This is the benefit of being an alchemist. Besides kill gains, he can maximize the gains from killing enemies.

After processing, Su Xiao ordered people to dig a big pit and bury the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales. First, the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, came from afar. Second, in case any wild beast ate the Evil God's flesh and blood and caused any trouble in the "Borderlands," it wouldn't be good. This is not impossible; the Evil God was already seven-tenths cooked, and the burnt fragrance drifted very far.

Half an hour later, the funeral of the Evil God, Lord of Scarlet Scales, was completed. A group of Wild Boar Warriors returned to the fortress in a hurry; they were all hungry from burying it.

A few kilometers away, a pair of brothers lay behind a mound, witnessing everything just now with binoculars.

These two were the Sky Ghost brothers, contractors of the Holy Light Paradise. The older brother was named Tianchuan, and the younger brother was named Guitong. They were a combination of a steady older brother and a belly-black younger brother.

The broom-headed younger brother Guitong put down the binoculars in his hand and looked at his brother.

"Brother, are we still going to continue the assassination? Now we are everyone's hope."

Younger brother Guitong's mood was uneasy. Even though he was an Eighth-Tier contractor, it was his first time seeing someone trick an Evil God over and roast it. His cognitive view had been refreshed.

"Go."

"Ah? Are we really going?"

"Go back to eat. Whoever wants to go can go. In short, we two are not going."

The scene of tricking the Evil God over stimulated older brother Tianchuan. He decided not to take his younger brother to assassinate Su Xiao. Go to hell with the hope of the whole village. Tianchuan now wants to call Holy Poetry over and let the other party see how miserably that Evil God died.

Night fell quietly. The 1–98 residential areas of the Sun Faction were exceptionally lively. Tonight's meal was unprecedentedly rich.

The command room was dark. Su Xiao leaned on the sofa to take a nap. Meditation made time pass quickly. Without knowing it, the morning sun shone in from the curved floor-to-ceiling window.

Su Xiao ended his meditation and checked the information of the Sun Fortress. The number of War Pig mounts had reached 516,590, exceeding the 500,000 Wild Boar Warriors, and ability awakening could be carried out.

Su Xiao activated ability awakening. Three types of abilities appeared in front of him. These were three types of abilities carefully selected from the War Pig mounts.

"Hunting Walk (Passive, Lv. 33): Running speed increased by 23%."

"Fierce Pig Charge (Active, Lv. 45): Consume Sun Power in the body to perform high-speed charge forward. If blocked, it will cause impact and knockback damage (with fire damage)."

"Sun Sacrifice (Passive, Lv. 40): The Sun Power upper limit of the War Pig itself is permanently reduced by 30%, increasing its own maximum health by 5%, and increasing the rider's maximum health by 10% (Once this ability is selected for a rider, it will only take effect for this rider)."

Three abilities, Su Xiao had two choices. If he awakened "Fierce Pig Charge," he couldn't awaken the other two abilities. If he awakened "Sun Sacrifice," the remaining potential of the War Pig mounts was enough to awaken "Hunting Walk."

Whether to choose survival power plus mount running speed, or whether each individual has a charge ability, is the choice Su Xiao has to face.

Don't underestimate the charge ability; it is one of the most useful abilities on the battlefield. However, Su Xiao's War Lord title has the "All-Army Charge" ability, and choosing "Fierce Pig Charge" again is somewhat superfluous. Plus, cavalry naturally comes with a charge state.

Thinking of these, Su Xiao decisively chose "Hunting Walk" and "Sun Sacrifice."

Like the last time he awakened abilities, a source core appeared in front of Su Xiao. Thousands of silk threads spread from this source core. The silk threads ignored the obstruction of the walls and merged into each War Pig mount. Skill awakening began.

Regarding the ability awakening of heavy tanks and Sun Maidens, the ability awakening of heavy tanks was completed yesterday. The total number of Sun Maidens was only 45, and no suitable ability for awakening was found.

The ability awakening of the War Pig mounts was completed an hour later. Looking at the morning sun outside the window, Su Xiao didn't order an immediate attack. Friendly units that had just completed ability awakening would be weak for a while. It would be safer to attack around 10 o'clock, and attacking at noon would be safer.

Time passed minute by minute. When the hour hand pointed to 10 o'clock in the morning, the communicator on the table in front of Su Xiao rang. After picking it up and looking at it, it was Alliance Marshal He Kendiwei.

"Bai Ye, how many days have passed? It's been a week, right."

He Kendiwei said in a half-joking tone.

"Only two days, today is the third day."

"Is that so? I remember it's been a week. According to the agreement, you should send troops now, bypass my Demi-human territory from the south coast, and raid the human front fortress."

He Kendiwei's tone no longer had the joking meaning from just now. He seemed to have sensed something and used a near-coercive way to let Su Xiao attack the humans.

"Bai Ye, you actually handled hundreds of thousands of troubles for me. Thank you for helping me eliminate those troops that didn't obey me."

He Kendiwei's words were intriguing. Listening to his meaning, it seemed that he wasn't unable to beat the Sun Fortress before, but deliberately let some Demi-human troops come to the front line to die, thereby eliminating dissidents and finally successfully taking the top position.

He Kendiwei was implicitly indicating that the Demi-human side was not unable to beat the Sun Fortress.

"Oh? What if I don't attack the humans?"

"Then our two sides can only continue to fight. This is a situation neither of us wants to see."

He Kendiwei smiled while speaking, as if he were joking.

"You have a way to exempt the contract power of the 'Borderland Treaty'?"

"Of course, no, so I want to continue to maintain a cooperative relationship."

He Kendiwei didn't tell the truth. The real situation was that they found people with the same name and surname, and then conferred status. However, this status was taken back after signing the Borderland Treaty. Simply put, the three people there found substitutes with the same name and surname to sign the contract.

Su Xiao picked up the Borderland Treaty on the table, looked at it casually, and then crumpled it into a ball with one hand and threw it into the trash can. There was a problem with this contract; he had guessed it long ago, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so cautious last time he went to the Demi-human side.

"Then I can only compromise?"

Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, He Kendiwei said with a smile:

"Don't say it so directly. Our two sides are cooperating. Bai Ye, when are you going to send troops to raid the humans?"

"Now."

After saying this, Su Xiao hung up the communicator and looked at the time. It was only 10:25. Originally, he planned to fight at noon, but now it seems that immediate attack is the best choice.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions appeared on the continuous mountains of the Borderlands, gravel flying, revealing the hollow mountains inside.

For the Wild Boar Warriors, the houses here are no longer important; they want to take better ones.

Amidst the flying gravel, the huge mechanical feet of the Sun Fortress were raised. More than a hundred multi-jointed mechanical feet with a diameter of several meters, like octopus tentacles, supported the Sun Fortress, making it truly become a mobile fortress.

Every step the fortress's mechanical feet took was earth-shaking. And in the breach of the mountain behind, Wild Boar Knights rushed out one by one. They were wearing armor, holding long-handled war hammers, and the mounts under them were exceptionally strong. When running on the gravel ground, their claws spread out to improve running stability.

The cavalry army rushing out from the mountain was so numerous that the edges on both sides could not be seen. The earth trembled, and a dragon roar came from above. The Storm Dragon flew through the air, and Su Xiao stood on the dragon's back.

As the saying goes, good words cannot persuade a ghost that is going to die. Originally, the Demi-humans could enjoy the last peaceful morning, but they refused.

Three kilometers away, dozens of Demi-human scouts who had been watching here all day saw this scene. Their faces were ashen, and they turned to flee. Dragon fire descended from the sky, burning them into coke.

West side of the Borderlands, the Steel Fortress stationed between the Demi-human territory and the Borderlands, in the command room.

Brigadier General Rez, who was slightly anxious, sat in front of the sand table. He had already received orders from above and was waiting for the reaction from the Sun Faction side.

With a bang, the door was rudely pushed open, which made Brigadier General Rez frown. He reprimanded: "Panicking, what big thing can you do? Did Bai Ye send troops?"

"Ye, ye, yes."

"Where is he going to raid the humans from?"

"Officer, he is going to raid us!"

"Hmm?!"

Brigadier General Rez's eyes widened immediately. Just then, a loud noise came from his right side. The shock wave caused a buzz in his brain. The tables and chairs in the room trembled, and all the debris on the table was lifted.

A few seconds later, Brigadier General Rez, who had fallen to the ground, got up and shook his head. Dizzy, he looked out the half-melted glass window. A super-large fireball that fell into the center of the Steel Fortress came into his eyes. It was Apollo.

Flames raged, and the steel in the explosion zone melted like a candle. The alarm sound around was ear-piercing.

Brigadier General Rez pulled the adjutant beside him and gave a series of orders. But ten seconds later, the adjutant with a sallow face ran back. He told Brigadier General Rez with a trembling voice that their outer defense line had been breached, and now the enemy troops had rushed to the front of the Steel Fortress. ===== CHAPTER 3416 =====
