Chapter 3432

Upon seeing the first two items in the faction shop, Su Xiao was very satisfied with their prices; exchanging for one Overlord Essence only cost 1 Soul Coin, and the price for a Soul Crystal Core was the same—this was no different from giving them away for free.

Besides these two items, there were five more below, which Su Xiao examined one by one.

3. Blood Fragrance Mellow Wine (Immortal Grade).

Effect: After drinking, permanently increases Health by 1000 points, permanently increases True Agility by 1 point, permanently increases True Stamina by 1 point, and significantly increases Cold/Freeze Resistance (this does not resist soul-chilling cold; it is an energy-based resistance).

Hint: This Blood Fragrance Mellow Wine is enough for 2 people to drink.

Introduction: A strong liquor blended with "Ghost Race Soul Blood," originally intended to resist soul-chilling cold. However, the final product left the Ghost Race royal bloodlines deeply disappointed. Yet, they discovered that this fine wine, blended with the fragrance of blood, could slightly improve physique and significantly enhance resistance to cold and freezing. Due to the scarcity of the "source wine" and the fact that this blending technique has been banned, this is the last bottle of "Blood Fragrance Mellow Wine." You may drink it alone or share it with the Ghost Race Queen; this is the Queen's favorite.

4. Ghost Race Queen's Blood (Special Item, cannot be taken out of this world).

Effect: With this blood, you can track the location of the Ghost Race Queen.

Introduction: The hostility between old and new concepts eventually led to tragedy. The throne is empty, yet the shadow of the king is nowhere to be seen. Alas, the new king has no crown and cannot be enthroned. Either slaughter the former king and bring the crown back here, or welcome a new birth from the destruction.

5. Former King's Ice Soul (Bloodline/Profession-type item).

6. Ancient Map.

Introduction: Records the terrain between the "Ancient Capital of Yada" and the "Dark Forest," covering nearly the entire northern region.

Exchange Price: 1 Soul Coin.

……

7. Ancient Language Record (Knowledge-type record).

Introduction: Contains the ancient language of the Yada people, mostly translations of phrases related to rituals, light secret arts, etc. (The common language mastered after entering this world only includes the "Yada Ancestral Language" and does not include the ancient language used by the Yada people for rituals and light secret arts).

Hint: After exchanging for this record, you do not gain linguistic mastery; instead, you obtain a book containing the ancient language.

……

Su Xiao spent a total of 9 Soul Coins at an "exorbitant price" to clear out this faction shop.

Su Xiao checked the map first. Excluding the oceans, archipelagos, and several islands completely sealed off by the Void Tree, this map recorded nearly half of the continent where Su Xiao was located.

Compared to the map seen on the spaceship earlier, the one in Su Xiao's hand was more comprehensive. At this moment, his location was the "Cold Graveyard," and below—that is, in the southern direction—was the "Ancient Capital of Yada," located in the middle of this continent.

The map did not record the terrain further south, but it was very complete regarding the north. If Su Xiao used the current "Cold Graveyard" as a starting point and continued to head north to find the Soul-Severing Shadow Stone, his next stop would be the "White Swamp."

The area of the "White Swamp" was more than ten times that of the "Cold Graveyard," and after passing the "White Swamp" and continuing north, one would reach the "Dark Forest." In the past, more people called this place the "Black Forest."

Once at the "Black Forest," one was close to the extreme north. When venturing into the deepest part of the "Black Forest," one could find the Tree of Origin located in the extreme north. Continuing further north, one would reach the impassable Fog Wall.

Although this map was somewhat dated and inaccurate in some places, it was still very useful, such as knowing which area of the "White Swamp" was the most toxic or where one would get lost in the "Black Forest."

Besides this map, the 【Ancient Language Record】 was also very valuable, though not useful for the time being. As for the 【Blood Fragrance Mellow Wine (Immortal Grade)】, Su Xiao did not intend to drink it yet.

The 【Former King's Ice Soul】 was for Amu to use. Finally, the 【Ghost Race Queen's Blood】 was contained in a small bottle the size of a pinky finger; it would take effect just by being worn as a pendant, tracking the location of the Ghost Race Queen.

Su Xiao looked at the small crystal bottle in his hand; wisps of chill seeped into his palm. The Ghost Race Queen's blood was unexpectedly cold and continuously radiated a freezing chill.

"Your Ghost Race Queen's blood is truly cold."

Su Xiao looked at the old Ghost Race member opposite him.

"Born that way; otherwise, why would she have been chosen as Queen?"

"Oh? Your Queen was chosen?"

Su Xiao hung the small crystal bottle on the end of his sword hilt. This object radiated cold, keeping his waist icy while worn.

"You could say that. In her generation, her sister was actually more outstanding than her, but her sister ultimately lost to her. We old folks could only choose her."

The old Ghost Race member smiled, which deepened the cracks on his face. It was clear he could not hold on for much longer.

"Law-Breaker, bring back the crown as soon as possible. I will wait for you... to return. I'm going to sleep for a while; remember to wake me up when you get back."

The old Ghost Race member's voice grew lower and lower until he finally lowered his head, and a layer of frost gradually climbed onto his body.

According to the old Ghost Race member, there were two Ghost Race underground dwellings, one large and one small. The small one was the underground gathering place where Su Xiao was currently located, Siyi, while the large one was the "Underground City, Qiuli."

At this stage, all Ghost Race members lived in "Underground City, Qiuli." Su Xiao sent Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to "Underground City, Qiuli" to scout the situation there.

The reason Su Xiao did not go personally was that he did not want to encounter Xianji and the others. In the Ghost Race's "Underground City, Qiuli," while both sides would not necessarily engage in battle, if his movements were detected there, Su Xiao's subsequent plans would be difficult to execute.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang ran out of the ruined hall, relying on the advantage of being able to blend into the environment to head to "Underground City, Qiuli" for reconnaissance.

With nothing to do while waiting, Su Xiao sat in a corner and meditated. In a dangerous environment, he liked corners; sitting there could reduce the probability of being backstabbed.

As he entered a meditative state, everything around him approached nothingness. Dust particles floated in the bright, cold air, and everything became tranquil.

Meditating in the cold land felt quite good, but suddenly, dense roars, howls, and whispers reached Su Xiao's ears, causing him to immediately break out of his meditative state.

Su Xiao's gaze turned to the stone throne. What was suppressed beneath it were millions of ice slaves, ice giants, ice demons, and the like. Presumably, the roars and howls just now came from beneath this stone throne.

Regarding this situation with the Ghost Race, Su Xiao felt it was very similar to the Black Throne Continent. However, the Black Throne had the Black King, the Day King, and others; they built the royal palace at the source of the disaster, and successive kings sealed the City of Dead Silence.

This made the situation on the Black Throne Continent excellent. Less than 10% of the entire world was swallowed by dead silence, and a large amount of rich natural resources were left for the people. Although the royalty and nobility there fought for power, the lives of the people were stable and healthy.

As for the Ghost Race in the "Cold Graveyard," compared to the soul-chilling mist underground and the power of dead silence, not to mention the power tier, the destructive power of the two was not on the same level.

How powerful was Su Xiao after activating Dead Silence Descent? In fact, the principle of Dead Silence Descent was to pull a piece of the City of Dead Silence over.

In other words, entering the City of Dead Silence without protective items was equivalent to continuously enduring the effects of Dead Silence Descent. It was just that terrifying.

Before advancing to the Ninth Tier, Su Xiao had to go to the real City of Dead Silence. This was not only to advance his willpower into a true attribute, but there was also a more critical point.

Su Xiao had possessed the Black King Armguard for a long time. The near-death state exemption of this armguard had saved him from death more times than he could count, but everything had a price.

Wearing the Black King Armguard and using the Dead Silence Descent ability would inevitably lead to a connection with the City of Dead Silence.

As Su Xiao's strength grew, a feeling of his became increasingly intense: when he was strong enough, he had to go to the real City of Dead Silence; otherwise, the karma of using the Black King Armguard for a long time would inevitably make him pay a painful price in the future.

The last time Su Xiao used Dead Silence Descent, he had the feeling of pairs of eyes staring at him from behind. Those gazes came from the Dead People.

It was precisely because of this that Su Xiao had not used Dead Silence Descent much recently. At most, he would draw out the Dead Silence Ember to fire a few shots at enemies. That was only when he was fighting the Old Knight and had no other choice that he chose to draw out the Dead Silence Ember.

Su Xiao did not consider the City of Dead Silence for the time being. He opened the Kill Leaderboard to check the current rankings.

【The ranking has been refreshed, and the current ranking is as follows.】

First Place: Bai Ye (Reincarnation Paradise), 76 Kill Merits.

Second Place: Priest (Holy Sanctuary Paradise), 69 Kill Merits.

Third Place: Solomon (Reincarnation Paradise), 32 Kill Merits.

Fourth Place: Fairy (Holy Light Paradise), 15 Kill Merits.

Fifth Place: Enzo (Death Paradise), 11 Kill Merits.

Sixth Place: Saint Poetry (Holy Light Paradise), 10 Kill Merits.

Seventh Place: Gulu (Reincarnation Paradise), 9 Kill Merits.

……

Seeing this ranking, Su Xiao understood why the Priest had not come to the "Cold Graveyard" with the Fairy. The Priest was the kill-specialist among the rule-breakers this time, meaning he was there to clear the field.

Not to mention anything else, the Priest put considerable pressure on Su Xiao regarding the competition for first place, but the reward for second place was also quite good.

The first-place reward was 【Origin Magic Mirror (Abyss Product)】, and the second-place reward was 【Technique Soul (High-Tier Technique Trait Skill Scroll)】.

Just as Su Xiao was about to close the Kill Leaderboard, a prompt from the Void Tree appeared.

【Announcement (Void Tree): It has been detected that the number of surviving participants is less than 1000, and the following permissions will be opened.】

1. The contact platform within this world is opened (fully open state).

2. Coordinate sharing of special Overlord units (at 12:00 noon every day, all participants can sense the location of special Overlord units; this state lasts for 30 minutes).

3. Special Overlord identity transfer (after the special Overlord unit, Aiduoer Papa, defeats an enemy, she can transfer her existing special Overlord unit identity to the defeated party).

……

Each of these three permissions was unexpected. The Tree-Born World was a fully open kill world, and there were many benefits to killing other participants. Under these circumstances, the world contact platform where everyone could speak was activated, and one could imagine the atmosphere inside. Baha's "Master of Key-Boarding" had found a place to be useful.

As for the special Overlord unit, being randomly assigned this identity was simply a stroke of bad luck. Aiduoer Papa might already have tears in her eyes; killing her would yield a full 100 Kill Merits.

If Aiduoer Papa had tears in her eyes before and was holding back from crying, she would be crying snot now. At 12:00 noon every day, her location would be made public for half an hour, starting her escape time.

Aiduoer Papa could also save herself. After defeating any opponent, she could transfer her special Overlord identity to them. If she then killed that enemy, she could obtain 100 Kill Merits. Opportunity and risk coexisted.

Su Xiao opened the world contact platform, and sure enough, it was exceptionally lively inside.

Lian Ge (Watchman Paradise): "Chrysanthemum-plucking freak, is your intelligence development incomplete? I f*** your mother, get lost! Stop chasing me, I'm kneeling to you, stop chasing!"

National Football Second Brother (Reincarnation Paradise): "The brother above is tough."

Bee (Death Paradise): "(′??? `)"

Solomon (Overlord, Reincarnation Paradise): "Selling 7 Soul Crystal Cores."

Kaluluo (Apocalypse Paradise): "Big brother above, stop fishing. You've already fished over and slaughtered more than 20 participants. Also, big brother, can you change the 'bait'? Although you are strong, can you respect the intelligence of us fish?"

Gulu (Reincarnation Paradise): "You're done for, Solomon holds grudges."

Tieshan (Apocalypse Paradise): "Everyone, I have a question. You say, if a tank-type develops to the Eighth Tier, is it too late to switch to another type?"

Bee (Death Paradise): "w(? Д?)w"

Aiduoer Papa (Special Overlord): "Hiring bodyguards with high pay, daily salary of 7000 Soul Coins."

Gulu (Reincarnation Paradise): "Come find me."

Enzo (Death Paradise): "The salary is very generous."

Solomon (Overlord, Reincarnation Paradise): "Your location."

Gray Gentleman (Overlord, Reincarnation Paradise): "This business is not bad."

Bai Ye (Overlord, Reincarnation Paradise): "9000 Soul Coins per day."

Shenyin (Holy Light Paradise): "Reincarnation Paradise is awesome (voice crack)!"

Aiduoer Papa (Special Overlord): "Several big shots from Reincarnation Paradise, I'm already pitiful enough, please let me go. If I fall into your hands, I won't be able to survive even more."

Bee (Death Paradise): "╰(*°▽°*)╯"

……

Su Xiao closed the world contact platform. The situation in the Ancient Capital was extremely lively. Solomon fishing with Soul Crystal Cores, the Priest clearing the field, and the special Overlord unit Aiduoer Papa—just having these people in the Ancient Capital was enough to imagine the situation there.

After the number of participants drops below a certain level, that is, after entering the second stage of the kill competition, it will be the liveliest moment. At that time, the participants will gather again under the Tree of Origin in the Ancient Capital.

Su Xiao must find the Soul-Severing Shadow Stone before the kill competition enters the second stage; otherwise, he will miss the second round of melee.

While Su Xiao was thinking, a message from Xiang Bubu appeared in the team channel. It had already arrived at "Underground City, Qiuli," and both Wood and Ouna were there.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had already found the traces of the Fairy's team and was tracking them. Su Xiao waited for less than half an hour when the terminal in his hand vibrated, and the image sent back by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang appeared on it.

In the image, Fairy, Dark Wolf, and others were in a restaurant. There were old-fashioned electric lights in this restaurant, which were not researched by the Ghost Race but were technology from the outside world.

Su Xiao guessed that it should be that the indigenous people here obtained the notarization of the Void Tree, became a neutral unit, and left this world. When they returned later, they brought back these technologies from those worlds with relatively advanced technology and, under the permission of the notarization, popularized them.

The Ghost Race population of "Underground City, Qiuli" was just over 300,000. There was a subway running through the entire underground city, but most households lit oil lamps, and the technology tree had long since gone off the rails.

It could be said that "Underground City, Qiuli" was an independent Ghost Race kingdom. Except for its small size, the underground city had no huge flaws.

At this moment in the restaurant, Fairy and the others were dining, and the atmosphere was not good. Everyone present had just been "pulling a train," leading over ten thousand ice slaves to run a marathon on the snowfield.

Tieshan, holding a wine glass, had a bruised and swollen face. The Beast Hero sitting diagonally opposite him was dressed in rags and glared at Tieshan from time to time. Tieshan, who was in the wrong, could only pretend not to see it. However, she had already decided in her heart that if she encountered such a thing again in the future, the Beast Hero would be his designated target for a charge; the other party ran really fast.

The slightly dazed Bee was the most miserable. She was wrapped in bandages all over, almost becoming a little mummy. The position she chose to play dead in earlier was not good, and she was trampled by ice slaves and ice giants.

Why didn't Su Xiao discover the other party when Bee was playing dead earlier? Did Bee change her position? Not at all; she was kicked around like a soccer ball by the running ice slaves and ice giants.

In the restaurant, the aroma of various foods mixed with the smell of alcohol. Beside a round dining table, Fairy held a cup of black tea with a smile on her face, and sitting opposite her were those who should have been their enemies, but due to a certain matter, both sides were temporarily united.

"Wishing us both a happy cooperation."

"Oh~"

The person opposite was eating ravenously, which made Fairy, who was maintaining elegance, frown slightly.

After the person opposite was full of food and drink, with a bang, one foot was placed on the table, and the body leaned back on the chair, causing the entire seat to tilt backward a bit.

"You can only track the Soul-Severing Shadow Stone? Can't you track Bai Ye?"

Crow Girl patted her small abdomen, which was still not bulging after binge eating but had slight muscle contours.

If Fairy was cold, proud, and elegant, then Crow Girl was a beast and unconstrained. The Arcane Eternal Star cultivated Crow Girl to eliminate all unfavorable factors for the Arcane Eternal Star. As long as the goal was achieved, Crow Girl could use any means.

That's right, Fairy and Crow Girl cooperated. The former could track the Soul-Severing Shadow Stone, and the latter tracked Su Xiao. It was almost an inevitable result that both sides would meet halfway.

Earlier in the Ancient Capital, Crow Girl was ready to take action. However, Su Xiao, Wood, and Ouna cooperated. Although Crow Girl was a strong woman whose aura was like a beast, she was not stupid. Seeing Su Xiao and the three forming a small team, she did not take action but waited for an opportunity, following all the way to the "Cold Graveyard."

Due to their hostile stances, Su Xiao also entered a hostile state with Dark Wolf at this time. However, speaking of which, Su Xiao and Dark Wolf had no friendship. At most, they had traded Primordial Water; other than that, there was no other friendship.

Neither Su Xiao nor Dark Wolf would care about this, so in Dark Wolf's view, Su Xiao was a great enemy. Dark Wolf had already staked his own life to deal with this great enemy.

Fairy, Dark Wolf, and Crow Girl had a common goal, which was to put Su Xiao to death, so they hit it off and started cooperating.

With the addition of Crow Girl, a super strong reinforcement, the mood of the rule-breakers was quite good. Crow Girl was one of the four Overlords notarized this time, and her strength was undoubtedly strong.

"It's just right now. You can track the Soul-Severing Shadow Stone, and I can track Bai Ye himself."

Crow Girl took out a crystal finger bone. This was actually a 【First Generation Relic Bone】, but this 【First Generation Relic Bone】 was not crystal blue but faintly reddish, as if it had been infused with bloodstains.

Fairy looked at the finger bone in Crow Girl's hand and asked, "What is this?"

"The relic bone of a Law-Breaker. To be precise, it was condensed by the Law-Breaker using origin energy before death. If Bai Ye obtains this thing, as a Law-Breaker himself, he can absorb this Law-Breaker relic bone to increase the growth limit of his core abilities."

Hearing Crow Girl's words, Fairy's eyes revealed a look of surprise.

"Condensed into a relic bone using origin energy before death? Are Law-Breakers so united?"

"They are not united, um~, it should be mutual recognition. They are quite worthy of respect. In short, they are particularly difficult to deal with. Otherwise, why do you think we at the Arcane Eternal Star were beaten until we were panting during the Law-Breaker era?"

After Crow Girl finished speaking, she laughed herself. It could be said that if it weren't for their hostile factions, Crow Girl's personality would not be annoying.

"Panting..."

Fairy was speechless, thinking to herself what kind of ghost metaphor this was.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was squatting on the side, witnessed the whole process, and the head-mounted monitoring device recorded everything.

Inside the ruined hall, Su Xiao got up and walked out. He had to leave the "Cold Graveyard" as soon as possible and reach the "White Swamp." As for meeting up with Wood and Ouna, that would have to wait until he dealt with the Fairy and other trackers.

Su Xiao did not intend to let Fairy and the others follow him all the time. These people could not only track the Soul-Severing Shadow Stone but also track him personally, which was exceptionally troublesome. A little carelessness could lead to these people catching an opportunity.

If Su Xiao encountered an unavoidable strong enemy while following the monkey's tracks, once a battle started, Fairy, Dark Wolf, Crow Girl, and others in the rear would inevitably notice, and Su Xiao would be besieged at that time.

Therefore, Su Xiao prepared to decide the outcome with the Fairy's team in the "White Swamp." According to the markings on the map, Su Xiao discovered that in the first half of the "White Swamp," few intelligent species lived there.

What inhabited the "White Swamp" were the Mushroom Tribes. One had to venture at least halfway into the "White Swamp" to possibly see them.

Su Xiao left "Underground Gathering Place, Siyi," and a biting cold wind blew. The snow scene in his eyes was a vast expanse of white. He walked on the snow, and the accumulated snow crunched and creaked under his feet. Deepening into the "Cold Graveyard" to this point, he had already passed the soul-chilling mist area.

Sure enough, the further north Su Xiao traveled, the faster the temperature rose. After walking for more than two hours, the surrounding snow began to melt. After walking for another hour, lush green grass came into view.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the ground under Su Xiao's feet was soft and moist. With every step he took, the footprints left along the way would gradually ooze water, filling the footprints.

Although located in the north, the White Swamp was not only not cold but also made people feel stuffy. A smell of grass leaves and tree roots soaked in water until they rotted permeated the air.

As he walked, the sewage of the swamp submerged Su Xiao's ankles. Looking forward, it was a large area of shallow water. Here grew a kind of white tree with trunks about the thickness of an egg. They looked bare, and even though there were many of them, forming a swamp forest, the view was still open.

This kind of white tree would grow cotton spores. After the cotton spores matured and burst, white cotton fluff flew everywhere, covering the water surface with a layer of wet white cotton fluff. This was how the White Swamp got its name.

The water in this swamp was green, filled with dead branches, rotten leaves, and the corpses of various small and medium-sized animals, giving people a sense of turbidity from the heart.

Su Xiao continued to venture forward. The surrounding tall trees became more numerous, and the canopy blocked the sunlight above, making the shallow water swamp stuffy and hot, like a steamer. Black-green turbid water rose into water mist, distributed in every corner.

Every step forward required pulling his shoes out of the mud. Even though Su Xiao wrapped his legs and calves with a crystal layer, there were still long, thin leeches and poisonous insects crawling diligently up along the crystal layer.

The leeches here had extraordinary traits. This thing not only sucked blood but also relied on its long, thin, and slimy body to burrow into the biological body. As long as it burrowed in a little, it couldn't be pulled out by hand, which was so vicious that it made one's scalp tingle.

Su Xiao had the crystal layer to isolate them, so he didn't care about these extraordinary leeches. Baha landed on his shoulder and wouldn't be affected either. As for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who had mixed into the Fairy's team, he cared even less. After blending into the environment, poisonous insects, snakes, and ants would completely ignore Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Besides being afraid of ghosts, Xiang Bubu was not afraid of these poisonous insects, snakes, and ants at all.

Su Xiao stopped in the mud and water. From just now, he had been receiving poisoning warnings.

【Hint: You are about to be poisoned.】

This prompt appeared every ten seconds or so since he stepped into the White Swamp. It could be seen that the toxicity of the White Swamp gradually increased as one ventured deeper into this place.

【Warning: You have been affected by the "True Poison" effect.】

【While enduring "True Poison," vitality recovery will be suppressed (including self-stamina derived recovery, equipment passive abilities, auras, etc.).】

【Hint: This suppression effect has no obvious effect on recovery potions.】

【While enduring "True Poison," you will take 3 points of True Poison Damage per second.】

【While enduring "True Poison," your True Stamina attribute will gradually slip temporarily (the slip of the True Stamina attribute will lead to an aggravation of the poisoning effect, and the poisoning damage will climb significantly).】

【Poison Layer: 1 layer (increases by 1 layer every 120 seconds; for every 5 layers increased, poison damage increases by 1%).】

【Hint: When the poison layer exceeds 60 layers, each layer stacking will have a 0.57% to 2.17% probability of high-intensity poisoning, thereby dying from poison (this is an instant-death judgment).】

【Warning: When the poison layer exceeds 100 layers, high-intensity poisoning is guaranteed, thereby dying from poison (this is an instant-death judgment).】

……

"True Poison" seemed to have low damage, but it could suppress all abilities, equipment, etc., related to vitality recovery.

Weighing this, 3 points of True Poison Damage per second could not be underestimated; that was 10,800 points of True Damage per hour.

In this regard, Su Xiao was not afraid at all, and neither were Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha. Just the team skill "Radiant Team (Passive, Lv. EX)" increased Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha's Health by 9700 points.

Previously, after drinking 【Ancient Secret Medicine】, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha also permanently increased their Health by 5000 points, plus each potential awakening, and other survival-enhancing potions Su Xiao had given them to drink.

Xiang Bubu seemed to be a reconnaissance-type little squishy, but in reality, he was not squishy at all. Even Benny was the same; her fur was smooth and she looked like a cat that couldn't take a beating, but in reality, she wouldn't die even after being beaten for a long time.

Excluding his own vitality, he could also rely on drinking recovery potions to hold on, but one could imagine how much potion it would cost.

For other abnormal states, Su Xiao didn't have a very good way to deal with them. "True Poison" was different. He couldn't contact this abnormal state. After all, it was a poison with "True" as a prefix. But as an alchemist who majored in pharmacy, Su Xiao could still manage to alleviate the toxicity of this kind of poison.

Su Xiao took out several test tubes, cut his thumb, and dripped his blood into these test tubes one by one to see how his blood reacted with the solutions inside.

Red, blue, etc., represented intensity reactions, yellow was a neutralization reaction, purple was a super-intensity reaction, and milky white was a decomposition reaction.

Unfortunately, Su Xiao did not see the decomposition reaction he hoped for most, that is, detoxification. Intensity reactions and super-intensity reactions appeared many times, which showed the viciousness of this kind of poison. The final neutralization reaction only appeared once.

Su Xiao took out a high-activity potion, jammed it into the injection gun, and did not inject it directly. Instead, he first extracted a small amount of his own blood, waited for the high-activity potion to react to orange-yellow, and then injected it into his body.

As soon as the potion was injected, Su Xiao felt a cool sensation in his body, and the stuffiness in his chest dissipated, making his breathing even smoother. The poisoning damage changed from 3 points per second to sometimes 1 point per second, and sometimes he only took poisoning damage every few seconds.

This was also the reason why Su Xiao chose the "White Swamp" as the battle location. He contacted Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and learned that the Fairy's team had already tracked him, so he continued to move forward.

Half an hour later, a group of rule-breakers led by Fairy arrived at the shallow water area where Su Xiao had stayed earlier. The sunlight above was blocked by the huge canopy, and the stuffy shallow water swamp, like a steamer, pressed the stuffiness into everyone's heart.

"Hoo~"

Fairy pressed one hand to her chest and let out a long breath. Crow Girl, who was on the side, cast a glance and said, "Your burden is really heavy."

"……"

Fairy didn't answer. Along the way, she had already experienced Crow Girl's unbridled speech.

"Everyone, be careful. The poisoning warnings are becoming more and more frequent. I guess we are about to be poisoned..."

Fairy's voice had just fallen when a poisoning prompt appeared.

"Damn, this abnormal state is even more ruthless."

"The problem is not big. Two kinds of poisoning states: one is 2 points of True Poison Damage per second, and one is 1 point of slow poison damage per second. We can hold on."

"Everyone, I will provide you with sufficient inhibitors. Although it can't detoxify, it will definitely not let you die from poison."

Fairy's words made the group of rule-breakers stop talking and continue moving forward.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Fairy stopped and frowned. She pressed one hand to her chest again and took a deep breath. Just a few seconds ago, she was poisoned by another kind of poison.

Fairy only felt nauseous at this moment, not physiological nausea, but psychological discomfort. She had been in the White Swamp for almost an hour, and at this moment, she was enduring "True Poison," "Swamp Slow Poison," and "Corrosive Rain Poison."

The poisoning damage of the first two was very low, and Fairy didn't care much about the third poisoning effect. This kind of toxin was very weak and would only slightly reduce her speed.

Even so, Fairy was still secretly vigilant. The information she knew was that the poison in the White Swamp was very difficult to deal with. The person who sold them the information actually didn't know exactly how many kinds of poison there were. The other party had endured two kinds of poisoning states in total, one was very difficult to deal with, and the other could be ignored.

"Fairy, three kinds of poisoning states already."

Dark Wolf spoke.

"Accelerate tracking. After catching up with that guy, we will fight him in the White Swamp."

Fairy was ruthless in her heart, deciding to take the risk to fight Su Xiao. With Crow Girl as a strong reinforcement, the chances of winning were very high.

Fairy continued to move forward, but after walking only a dozen steps, she was poisoned by another slow poison effect called "Corrosive Water Poison." Seeing this prompt, Fairy almost vomited a mouthful of old blood. She was poisoned by four kinds of slow poisons at the same time.

This kind of poisoning effect was very troublesome and would reduce poison resistance, which was simply life-threatening. Fairy took a deep breath, looked around at the shallow water swamp under the shade of the forest, and led the people to continue moving forward.

Before walking 20 meters, Fairy was surprised to find that she had been poisoned by another slow poison effect. The small warning icons for five kinds of slow poison effects were already a bit conspicuous above her retina.

"What kind of broken swamp is this? Why is there poison everywhere?"

Crow Girl felt a bit irritable. She came to hunt down the enemy, but she hadn't seen the enemy's shadow yet, and she had already been poisoned by five kinds of slow poisons.

"Continue moving forward."

Fairy traded the "Slow Poison Inhibitor Injection" to every rule-breaker present through the temporary small team. Only in this way would these people continue to move forward with her.

The group of contractors saw that the "Slow Poison Inhibitor Injection" was marked as having a strong effect on the poisoning effect of the White Swamp, and everyone felt relieved.

However, after continuing to move forward for 10 minutes, Fairy and the others all stopped. Fairy at the very front looked very ugly. She was enduring 10 kinds of poisoning effects at the same time. When the poisoning effects reached the 6th kind, she doubted in her heart: in this extraordinary natural environment of the White Swamp, would there really be 6 kinds of slow poisons with different characteristics?

When Fairy took three steps and was poisoned by 4 kinds of slow poisons in a row, she was sure that this was wrong. The poisoning effect was too exaggerated. Taking 3 steps and being poisoned by 4 kinds of slow poisons, the frequency of poisoning was faster than her heartbeat.

Fairy and Crow Girl looked at each other. Dark Wolf on the side was silent. Dark Wolf brother was poisoned by too many types. He took four steps just now and was poisoned by 5 kinds of poisons. His face was a bit green. This was not because of depression, but because his skin color had changed slightly due to the poison.

Fairy and Crow Girl looked at Dark Wolf, whose face was slightly green, and then looked at Bee. Bee's originally fair little face was like a blue elf at this moment, Beast Hero laughed stupidly from time to time, and Tieshan hiccuped frequently.

In less than 10 seconds, many people in the Fairy team began to show abnormalities.

"Retreat!"

Fairy didn't hesitate anymore and turned to rush backward. At this point, she was sure that they had fallen into a trap.

The first part of the road was very smooth. Before long, Fairy was poisoned by another slow poison.

She looked up at the canopy above, wanting to fly into the sky with her flying ability, but she quickly gave up this suicidal idea. There were too many transparent bee swarms above, and the number could even reach trillions. That was an absolute death zone.

The group of rule-breakers retreated along the original road, but they didn't rush out very far before they stopped one after another. The road back was not safe. The types of poisons on their bodies had increased from 10-12 to 15-17.

Fairy looked at the string of small poisoning icons above her retina. None of these 16 poisoning states were particularly ruthless, but they were all continuous.

"It won't work, there are too many poisoning states."

A rule-breaker took out the "Slow Poison Inhibitor Injection" that Fairy had just distributed and injected it. However, after the injection, the rule-breaker's expression gradually became solemn. Among the 17 kinds of virulent poisons he was poisoned with, except for the relief of the "True Poison" effect, the other 16 kinds of slow poisons were not relieved at all.

That was natural. These were not the poisoning effects of the "White Swamp," but alchemical poisons. They just looked like environmental poisons by name, but in reality, they were all artificially formulated. This was the brutal knowledge developed by alchemists.

Fairy's breathing was faster than before. The world in front of her suddenly doubled, and then returned to normal.

"Wow!"

A rule-breaker vomited a large mouthful of black blood, then fell into the mud and water with a thud and died.

Seeing this scene, other rule-breakers felt their scalps tingle. They were not afraid of enemies they could see, but this feeling of not being able to see the enemy while teammates fell to the ground and died suddenly was simply torment.

"Give me water, water..."

Another rule-breaker showed abnormalities. He poured water into his mouth in large gulps, but he was like a sponge being pinched, sweat oozing from his pores at an alarming speed. In the end, this rule-breaker who kept pouring water into his mouth died of severe dehydration, and his blood dried into sand powder.

With a thud, a dried corpse fell into the water, and another rule-breaker died suddenly. These were several kinds of slow poisons that looked inconspicuous, which produced a catalytic reaction with each other, eventually combining into a fierce poison.

Soon, the group of rule-breakers stood back to back, forming a large circle, 360° vigilant of the surroundings.

The surrounding swamp forest was very quiet. Although no strong enemy appeared, it was as if a hand was tightly gripping the throat of every rule-breaker present, putting them under great pressure.

It can only be said that Fairy and the others had great courage to dare to hunt down an alchemist in a poisonous swamp.
