Chapter 3435: Then I'm Relieved

Big tree hole, bottom.

Su Xiao looked at the golden amber in his hand. The Luan insect inside was still swimming just now, but now it was motionless. This thing, it seemed, was tired to death……

Before, Su Xiao was still wondering why those dark creatures with strong corrosive power and weird abilities didn't come to hunt him down, but all rushed to Wood and Ona.

When he first entered the big tree hole, the Queen's blood bottle hanging on his sword hilt exploded. He thought it was the Ghost Clan Queen's blood that caused those dark creatures not to attack him. Now it seems that it was not the case, but the effect of 【Wandering Luan】.

The effect of 【Wandering Luan】 was very powerful, letting Su Xiao's luck attribute, which was as high as 43 points, exert its real effect. How could it be that this thing couldn't withstand any wind and waves, and actually died.

Although 【Wandering Luan】 died, this opened a door to a new world for Su Xiao. He found that this kind of lucky object was more practical than he imagined. If there was a chance in the future, he must get some more.

Su Xiao put away the amber in his hand. Just at this time, a loud noise came from above, a large number of branches broke, and a residual shadow fell straight from above, and then fell to the ground.

Boom!

A depression appeared on the ground, surrounded by broken tentacles and twisting black flesh.

In the depression, the huge black python head mouth opened wide, the teeth inside were uneven, and the tongue was composed of small black snakes, twisting wantonly.

Ona, covered in corrosive mucus, drilled out of the snake's mouth. She turned her head and exposed half a thin black snake next to her neck. Three-fifths of the snake's body had drilled into her neck, and looking at this momentum, it was about to drill in completely, destroying wantonly in Ona's body.

Ona, who turned her head, pinched the snake tail with two fingers. She ignored the black snake scales that pierced into her flesh like barbs and forcibly pulled the black snake out of her neck. The sound was painful, but no fresh blood sprayed out.

Ona pulled the black snake out, and this was not the end. She pinched the black snake completely in her hand, raised it, looked up and opened her mouth, and the hand pinching the black snake exerted force, like pinching a sponge, squeezing a blush of fresh blood from the black snake's flesh.

She drank the fresh blood without missing a drop, and Ona threw the black snake residue aside like throwing garbage.

"Actually dare to suck the old lady's blood."

Ona sucked the bloodstains on her thumb. Her blood was extraordinarily precious. Even if she lost a drop, it was something she was unwilling to accept.

Baha, who witnessed the whole process, felt the fierceness of this woman, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang deeply agreed.

Ona could arrive so quickly, obviously it was a violent clearing. It was conceivable that the price paid was not small. She had just appeared when a feather pen appeared.

This feather pen hovered on the wall and stood still for a few seconds before suddenly moving, starting to draw on the wall, drawing a human outline at a fast speed.

This human outline gradually enriched itself, first perfecting a dark purple suit, then a black skull filled with black gems the size of rice grains, and the ghostly green pupil flames in the eye holes.

This mural became more and more realistic, until there was spirit in the pupil flames. Accompanied by the temporary blurring of the boundary between 2D and 3D, Wood walked out of the wall.

Seeing this scene, Ona frowned. Although she had heard of Wood's ability, she still felt tricky after seeing it with her own eyes.

At this time, Wood was just using the way of 2D to 3D transformation to move from a dangerous place to a safe place. What if he used this ability to fight?

In this regard, one had to ask the victim Tian Yu, who was transformed from 3D to 2D by Wood and finally died miserably.

This was Wood's difficulty. If he fought him head-on, his strength was a cut lower than Su Xiao's, but Wood's various weird abilities were very tricky.

In addition to various weird abilities, Wood's survival was also unreasonably strong. Back in the Painting World, when fighting blood-gas monsters, sun birds, etc., Su Xiao confirmed this point.

Wood's survival was almost killed by the mushroom person's punch. Although this was an elite unit, its attack intensity was too exaggerated.

But there was one point, the mushroom person seemed to only know one combo skill: super fast charge + punch to kill. And after punching out, the mushroom person would be completely exhausted and wouldn't move. Thinking about it, this was the price of having super-abnormal attack intensity.

Su Xiao estimated that with his survival, taking three punches would be very bad, four punches would likely die, and five punches would definitely die.

Su Xiao took out the 【Bad Luck Gold Coin】 and tossed it up. Although he had already guessed the result, he still wanted to test the effect of this gold coin. After manufacturing it, he hadn't used it yet.

The gold coin landed on the back of Su Xiao's hand and was covered by his other hand with a slap. The golden skull on the front represented small bad luck, and the pain mask on the back represented big bad luck. The former meant the luck was okay, and the latter meant he was going to have bad luck, and he would die if he was not careful.

Su Xiao raised his hand and found that the 【Bad Luck Gold Coin】 on the back of his hand was facing up. Small bad luck, which meant he wouldn't encounter particularly dangerous situations within a few hours?

This made Su Xiao feel suspicious. He had already seen the strength of the mushroom person. The tendency of this kind of fungal life was too extreme. In addition, before punching out, it was not only fleshy but also relied on the advantage of fungal life to be fearless of cutting injuries.

After Wood changed into a black-purple suit, the team of three set off again. Not long after walking, several more mushroom people came into view.

Compared to the mushroom person who was 2.5 meters tall, the 6 mushroom people encountered this time were between 1.6 and 1.7 meters tall. On the fat bacterial column, pairs of terrified eyes looked at Su Xiao and others.

"Houba! (Unknown language)"

A mushroom person spread its arms and stood in front of a sculpture like a fox pretending to be a tiger. Compared to the previous elite mushroom person, the combat power of this ordinary mushroom person was much worse, and they looked exceptionally afraid.

Even so, they still blocked in front of that stone sculpture, looking like they were swearing to protect the sculpture to the death.

This stone sculpture was a female image. The specific image was that the hair was very long, dragging to the ground, and wearing a crown on the head.

No matter how you looked at it, this stone sculpture looked like the Ghost Clan Queen Su Xiao saw earlier. The expression between the eyebrows was particularly similar, and the crown was exactly the same.

This made people very confused. Earlier, the old Ghost Clan member said that the Ghost Clan once wanted to leave the Cold Graveyard and move to the White Swamp, but because they couldn't beat the Mushroom Tribe, they could only retreat.

Not only that, according to what the old Ghost Clan member said, after the Ghost Clan Queen took the throne, she also led the Ghost Clan to conquer the Mushroom Tribe. According to the old Ghost Clan member, the Ghost Clan Queen was defeated and returned. After the defeat, she was still unwilling to sit on the stone throne and suppress the millions of ice slaves below.

According to this statement, why did these 6 mushroom people protect the Ghost Clan Queen's sculpture to the death? These silly guys were trembling with fear because of Su Xiao's aura, but they still stretched out their arms to make themselves look stronger, surrounding the Ghost Clan Queen's sculpture to protect it, not retreating an inch.

Before long, a large group of mushroom people appeared around. Although they were also afraid of Su Xiao's aura, they all ran over with thick short legs, surrounding the Queen's sculpture, and neatly made "Houba," "Houba" sounds.

Just at this time, several elite mushroom people arrived. These silly guys were not afraid of Su Xiao. They made a single-punch power-up posture from a distance.

Su Xiao pulled the small crystal bottle containing the Ghost Clan Queen's blood from the end of the sword hilt, held it in his hand, and urged the residual energy inside to let it radiate a fluctuation.

The several elite mushroom people who were still powering up just now stopped after sensing this fluctuation, looking at Su Xiao suspiciously. Those ordinary mushroom people who had no combat power also stopped shouting "Houba, Houba."

The hostility of the mushroom people weakened a lot, but due to the powerful negotiation caused by Su Xiao's -12 charm attribute, many mushroom people did not come forward.

The mushroom people looked at each other. In the end, they chose not to take the initiative to negotiate. Many mushroom people sat on the ground, looking up and bathing in the sun, with an expression of enjoyment.

The mushroom people around gathered more and more. These ordinary mushroom people were indeed not strong compared to Su Xiao, Wood, and others, but this did not mean they were weak. And elite mushroom people, this thing was fierce. If the number reached a certain level, the combat power exerted by these "One-Punch Mushrooms" would be exceptionally terrifying.

Killing elite mushroom people could obtain Soul Coins, but not to mention the risk of killing them, Su Xiao already had a more stable way of earning.

Su Xiao paved the way with the Ghost Clan Queen's blood in his hand. Wherever he went, the mushroom people spontaneously gave way to a path. Conservatively estimated, the number of these mushroom people had already exceeded hundreds of thousands, densely packed and endless.

Judging from the area of the inner side of the White Swamp, the number of mushroom people here might exceed one million, or even several million. It was no wonder that the Ghost Clan dared not move to the White Swamp. With the Ghost Clan's current population and overall strength, they were simply not the Mushroom Tribe's opponents.

According to the direction recorded on the map, Su Xiao headed north for less than two hours and finally arrived at the Black Forest.

It was sunny in the morning just now, but after walking into the Black Forest, the sky became dim. The visibility here was not bad, but it was gloomy, dark, and cold.

Thin mist drifted between the trees. The trees looked like living trees, but there was no vitality, which added a sense of gloom to the Black Forest.

The surroundings were quiet to the point of being creepy. This atmosphere made Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang gradually nervous. He felt that this place was more terrifying than the Cold Graveyard.

A cold, damp wind blew, like a ghost crying, and several twisted wandering souls drifted past. Seeing this scene, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's gaze gradually became solemn. He turned his head to look at Su Xiao's direction, but Su Xiao had already disappeared.

Suddenly! A pale woman's face appeared in front of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, no more than 2 cm from his nose. The woman's face had hollow, pitch-black eyes, lips red to the point of being creepy, and long hair disheveled.

"Woof-y-woo."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was so scared that he almost spoke human language. His crotch felt hot, and he turned to run, but his four dog legs were scared soft, and he couldn't run fast at all.

"Woo-ow-woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was almost scared to tears. He just wanted to find where Su Xiao was.

Vengeful souls wailed, fierce ghosts shrieked, and ghost shadows passed through the surroundings.

After running for a distance, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang turned his head to look and found that the female ghost behind had disappeared, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. When he instinctively turned his head, an even more terrifying pale ghost face appeared in front of him.

"Two-hundred-fifty (Unknown dog language)."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang sat on the ground on his butt. Just at this time, a hand suddenly appeared, pressing on Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog head. Everything around suddenly froze, and cracks appeared on all ten million ghost faces, which shattered one after another.

Under Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's terrified little eyes, the world around him seemed to have shattered a layer. The appearance of the Black Forest hadn't changed, but those ghost faces and vengeful souls had all disappeared.

"Just an illusion."

Su Xiao patted Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog head, and then, a smell

Quality: Special.

Carrying effect: Absorbs the carrier's bad luck and reverses the carrier's fortune.

Introduction: This is a kind of insect-bird unique to the Tree-Born World. It is a bird when flying in the sky and an insect when landing on the ground. By chance, it was trapped by the resin falling from the Tree of Origin and finally turned into this state.

Selling price: Can be sold (but after selling, your own luck attribute will be permanently -5 points).

……

Seeing the attributes of 【Wandering Luan】, Su Xiao couldn't help but be surprised. His luck had never been very good, but today, this problem was solved?

Su Xiao had a feeling in his heart that 【Wandering Luan】 was unreliable, but this was a unique output of the Tree-Born World. Maybe the problem of fortune was really solved today.

"Bai Ye, what is this?"

Wood saw the extraordinary nature of 【Wandering Luan】.

"Just a piece of amber."

Su Xiao put 【Wandering Luan】 into his arms. This thing had to be carried with him to be effective.

Before long, all members of the team were added with the Protection of Light, but no more 【Wandering Luan】 fell from the tree.

"Bai Ye, you are very lucky."

Ona spoke. Hearing this, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang hurriedly looked up, and Baha had a tangled expression. For so long, this was the first time he heard someone say Su Xiao was lucky.

"……"

Su Xiao didn't speak and stepped towards the tree hole on the Tree of Origin. The moment he entered the tree hole, the small crystal bottle hanging on his sword hilt was pulled off by a suction force, and with a bang, it exploded, and the Ghost Clan Queen's blood inside evaporated into the air.

As he went deeper, Su Xiao walked into the darkness. The deep darkness around him seemed to want to swallow him whole. The faint light on his body, however, firmly resisted the erosion of darkness.

On both sides of Su Xiao, above, and under his feet, were rough wood, the color of which was light brown with a hint of green.

The tree hole spiraled downward. After going deep downward for about ten meters, the two sides suddenly opened up.

This was a cylindrical underground space. Below was bottomless, and inside were crisscrossing tree roots, some thick and some thin.

Although these tree roots were messy, some tree roots nearly 1 meter thick had been artificially repaired. The thick tree roots spiraled downward, just like a plank road spiraling downward.

Along the tree root plank road, Su Xiao went deep for tens of meters. The surroundings became open, and the tree roots were more messy, just like small paths branching in all directions, leading to the darkness tens of meters away.

Su Xiao explored along the golden footprints left by the monkey. Walking here required caution. The tree roots had been exposed to the underground air for a long time, and thick greasy moss grew on them, which was very slippery to step on.

Su Xiao jumped from a tree root half a meter thick to the path formed by thin tree roots, and Wood and Ona, who were bringing up the rear, also jumped down.

Drip.

The sound of water came. Su Xiao pressed his hand on the sword hilt, and thousands of senses of crisis suddenly appeared around him, staring at the three of Su Xiao, as if deciding who to fight to the death.

Hiss hiss hiss~

A burning sensation appeared on Ona's back of the hand, and a dark mark appeared, looking like a vertical pupil eye.

Ona's face remained unchanged, but a curve appeared at the corner of her mouth. In this big tree hole, "darkness" permeated everywhere. These "darkness" had too many unknown characteristics. As long as it was an experienced person, they would not use space abilities here.

"Two, don't blame me."

Ona's skin thickness was much worse than Zui Yasi's. At this moment, she was stared at by the monsters in the darkness and wanted to drag Su Xiao and Wood into the water together to share the risk.

Ona said "don't blame me," which showed that she still had a bit of conscience left. If it were Zui Yasi, that dog thief would definitely say with a smile: "Two, don't thank me."

The darkness around gradually gathered, with a tendency to surround the three of Su Xiao. Those vertical pupils closed, and the peeping feeling around disappeared.

A black panther walked out of the darkness around. Its body size was several times larger than a normal black panther. A tiger in front of it could at most be considered a big cat.

This black panther had a pair of blood-red vertical pupils. From its gaze, it was intelligent.

"Did the supreme consciousness in charge of this world open the mist wall? What kind of life are you? Your shape is very similar to the legendary Yada people."

The black panther stopped and spoke human language.

"Hello, Brother Panther."

Baha tried to get close. The black panther glanced at it, and then that expression seemed to be a cold smile, very unfriendly.

"What are you laughing at? Look at your silly appearance, like a spare tire."

Baha turned hostile decisively. Facing unfriendliness, it was just like this.

"Spare tire?"

The black panther, or to be precise, Dark Form Hunter Thorn, didn't know the meaning of spare tire.

"It means you love someone very much, but that person doesn't love you, and you have a look of 'I only love you in this life'."

"You are looking for death, you deserve to die!"

Dark Form Hunter Thorn bared its sharp teeth. Looking at that look, it had really experienced this situation.

"Last chance for you. Before you disturb the Queen, now... go back... get lost."

Dark Form Hunter Thorn's sharp claws protruded, issuing an ultimatum.

"Hello, Queen's spare tire."

"Roar!"

Dark Form Hunter Thorn turned into a black shadow and pounced, its speed to the extreme.

Zheng!

A slash cut from top to bottom. Dark Form Hunter Thorn, who pounced on Baha, was cut into two halves. The upper half fell onto a piece of tree root, and the lower half fell into the bottomless darkness below.

"You are very strong. Even at my strongest, I am not as good as any of you three, but I am now 'darkness', 'darkness' that has lost its soul and freedom."

Dark Form Hunter Thorn walked out of the surrounding darkness. Its body was intact. The upper body that was cut and fell on the tree root just now had disappeared.

It could be said that Dark Form Hunter Thorn in the big tree hole was almost immortal. It had merged with "darkness." The known methods to kill it were two: 1. Dispel the darkness in the big tree hole, 2. Let it leave this darkness, and then kill it, so it couldn't reorganize through darkness.

"Boss?"

Baha was asking if he could kill Dark Form Hunter Thorn in a short time. If not, he must not drag it out with the other party. The time of the Protection of Light was limited.

"Can't kill it in a short time."

"Understood."

After Baha said in a low voice, his expression changed. A harmless smile gradually appeared on his face. Since he couldn't kill it, he would lure it away. First, give Dark Form Hunter Thorn a "talk therapy" to pull full hatred.

Baha asked: "Your name is Thorn?"

Thorn didn't answer, just stared at Baha.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Queen you mentioned is the Ghost Clan Queen? According to my understanding, the Queen you worship doesn't seem to be very good. She became the Queen of the Ghost Clan, but she was unwilling to sit on the stone throne……"

"Fart, the Queen sat on the stone throne for 30 years! The Queen sat on that broken stone chair almost all day since she was 5 years old."

Dark Form Hunter Thorn was angry to the extreme.

"Oh? That is to say, the old Ghost Clan guys slandered the Ghost Clan Queen? The crown wasn't taken away by you?"

"Of course, it is."

Dark Form Hunter Thorn looked up slightly, as if taking away the Ghost Clan's crown was not a shameful thing.

"It was those old guys who were unwilling to accept reality. In order to survive, they took away the Queen's legs. No! They didn't have the ability to take away the Queen's legs at all. It was the Queen who gave her legs to them to repay their upbringing. Time will prove who is right and who is wrong."

Dark Form Hunter Thorn's statement was completely opposite to the information provided by the old Ghost Clan member.

Su Xiao judged that the latter's information was closer to the truth. First of all, the information provided by the old Ghost Clan member was that after the Ghost Clan Queen successfully took the throne, she first led the Ghost Clan to conquer the White Swamp, but failed to beat the Mushroom Tribe. After the defeat, the Ghost Clan Queen refused to sit on the stone throne and was unwilling to absorb the soul-chilling mist floating from the millions of ice slaves.

There were many doubts about this statement. Su Xiao had seen the Mushroom Tribe before. The Mushroom Tribe was indeed strong, but the Mushroom Tribe's attitude towards the Ghost Clan Queen was clearly not treating a loser, but respect.

Even for the Ghost Clan Queen's statue, those ordinary Mushroom Tribe members were willing to risk their lives to protect it. Without a strong sense of worship, this would not happen.

There was another point. When Su Xiao obtained the Ghost Clan Queen's blood earlier, the crystal bottle containing the blood constantly released cold air. Hanging it at his waist, he felt cold, so he hung it at the end of the sword hilt.

Such cold blood didn't look like something an ice-type powerhouse would possess. An ice-type powerhouse's blood wouldn't be so cold. This involved energy manipulation and the opposite of mastery.

If the Ghost Clan Queen had absorbed the soul-chilling mist for more than 30 years, then it made sense for the other party's blood to be so cold.

"I understand. It was those old Ghost Clan guys who slandered the Ghost Clan Queen."

Baha had an understanding look.

"At least you have some brains."

Dark Form Hunter Thorn said this, but was actually thinking about how to solve the three of Su Xiao. Although there was a gap in combat power, it was prepared to rely on its own immortality to win this battle, so as not to let these intruders disturb the Queen's slumber.

"Brother Panther, today I'll give you a lesson. Even if you are almost immortal, don't talk nonsense with the enemy."

As soon as Baha finished speaking, the Abyss Jar appeared in Wood's hand. A pitch-black thread had probed from the Abyss Jar, and the other end was connected to Dark Form Hunter Thorn's forehead.

Noticing this situation, although Dark Form Hunter Thorn was angry, it didn't show it. It carefully investigated and determined that there was nothing wrong with itself, and said: "You flat-feathered animal……"

Dark Form Hunter Thorn had just opened its mouth when a look of horror appeared in its eyes. The next moment, it was forcibly dragged into the Abyss Jar. Because its body size was much larger than the 10 cm diameter mouth, it was squeezed and creaked when it was sucked into it. The sound was very cruel.

In the blink of an eye, Dark Form Hunter Thorn disappeared. Its immortality was vulnerable under the Abyss Jar.

Along with Dark Form Hunter Thorn, the surrounding darkness also disappeared. After this darkness disappeared, several black shadows appeared. Their shapes were different, some were human, some were animals. These were not energy, but living beings with flesh and blood.

These dark creatures surrounded them. A blood spear broke through the air and shot out, then pierced the head of a dark creature.

The blood spear was corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the dark creature also died suddenly, and the blood that flowed out corroded the tree roots below with a hissing sound.

The corrosive power of this kind of dark creature was extremely strong. Su Xiao didn't even intend to use his sword to cut it directly.

The surrounding dark creatures gathered more and more. After Dark Form Hunter Thorn died, it seemed to have triggered some kind of defense mechanism here.

After a roar, the surrounding dark creatures pounced. Su Xiao was just about to fight, but he sensed that it seemed that no dark creature had locked the attack target on him, and more were rushing towards Ona, who had a dark mark, and the rest also pounced on Wood.

Under these circumstances, Su Xiao naturally wouldn't take action. Killing these dark creatures, which were both difficult to deal with and had no kill rewards, was not worth the loss.

Under Ona's surprised gaze, a dark creature rushed past Su Xiao's left and right sides and went straight to her. Seeing this scene, Ona felt that she had been calculated again.

Before long, the trio was scattered by the dark creatures. Su Xiao stood still, and the dark creatures chasing Ona, who could no longer see her tracks, went after her. This was very confusing.

Su Xiao felt that his luck was too good, good to the point of being unbelievable.

20 minutes later, Su Xiao grabbed a hanging tree root with one hand, used it as a descent rope, and arrived at the bottom of the big tree hole.

Here, it was cylindrical as a whole. Directly in front of Su Xiao were two metal giant doors covered with moss. On the two giant doors, there was a relief face. Because of Su Xiao's arrival, the metal face on the door had opened its eyes. It asked stiffly: "Password."

"……"

Su Xiao looked around, didn't see any password written nearby, and found this, so he took a few steps back. The crystal layer clung to his right calf and right foot. He was going to use a "key" called Close Combat Master to open the door.

Suddenly, a faint fluctuation disappeared from Su Xiao's arms. Noticing such a change, he took out 【Wandering Luan】 from his arms and found that the light worm inside was dead. The luck-turning object he had just obtained not long ago had actually died!

【Wandering Luan】 might still have hope for rescue. Su Xiao checked its attributes.

【Wandering Luan】

Status: Extinct.

Introduction: Water has a time to dry up, and the Luan insect's reversal of fortune is the same. After reversing a certain amount of fortune, the Luan insect will perish. This Luan insect perished precisely because of this. It has already tried its best.

Selling price: Can be sold to Reincarnation Paradise. After selling, you will permanently increase your luck attribute by 4 points.

……

(End of this chapter) ===== CHAPTER 3435 =====

Gulu, wearing a black-red gothic dress, took out a lollipop and held it in her mouth.

"The Mushroom Prophet told us."

National Football Third Brother spoke. Hearing him say this, Gulu was so angry she nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Are you stupid? Do you understand intelligence exchange?"

Gulu felt powerless to complain. National Football Third Brother touched the back of his head and smiled foolishly.

"Where is the Mushroom Prophet?"

Su Xiao asked. He had met the Mushroom Prophet on Eternal Island in the Demon Sea World. At this moment, he suspected that the neutral unit notarized by the Tree of Void—the Mushroom Prophet—had its home in the White Swamp.

"Over there. Walk west along the fog wall for half an hour, and you'll find the big wooden house where it lives. However, it should have left; it's said it's going to the 'Sunny Wetlands,' which are in the south of the continent."

National Football Eldest Brother didn't hide this intelligence. Hearing this, Su Xiao felt a bit regretful; last time, in the trading shop opened by the Mushroom Prophet, he had bought many good things at a low price.

According to National Football Eldest Brother, the five of them met by chance. National Football Eldest Brother shared this intelligence about the Mushroom Prophet, and the five of them subsequently cooperated temporarily.

The five of them received a mission from the Mushroom Prophet. The mission content was to visit the Queen and deliver some things to her. The mission difficulty was very low, and the rewards were average, but the benefit was that the penalty was low—just deducting some Soul Coins. However, this was also relative.

The three National Football brothers, Solomon, and Gulu each obtained a key piece of intelligence from the Mushroom Prophet, which led to the fact that only by the cooperation of the three parties could they successfully see the Queen.

"The intelligence I have is the access credential for the Dark Hunter Thorn."

National Football Eldest Brother took out a silver coin. By simply handing this silver coin to the Dark Hunter Thorn, not only would they not be attacked by it, but the Dark Hunter Thorn would also lead the way to the bottom of the large tree hole.

"However, we didn't see the Dark Hunter Thorn."

National Football Second Brother took the silver coin, his tone feeling a bit regretful. If they could have seen the Dark Hunter Thorn, they could have gotten some benefits.

"The Dark Hunter Thorn was slaughtered by us."

Baja smiled rather wickedly. The three National Football brothers were speechless. What happened to the Dark Hunter Thorn being nearly immortal?

"Since you've all spoken, I won't hide it either. I know the password for the first Gate of Sleep."

Gulu lifted her chin slightly. Su Xiao glanced at her—what useless intelligence.

"How about it? Want to know? As long as you call me dad... pfft!"

Gulu wished she could slap herself. She changed her words: "As long as you beg me, I'll tell you."

"No need, we've already opened that door."

Baja's words made the happiness on Gulu's face disappear a little. She asked, "How did you open it?"

"Kicked it open."

"Huh?"

Gulu was a bit confused. She suddenly felt that the intelligence she had obtained was so useless.

Su Xiao looked at Solomon. Solomon nodded, meaning he indeed knew the password for the second Gate of Sleep.

"Solomon, let's make a trade."

"Sorry, I can't..."

"3000 Soul Coins."

Just hearing Su Xiao's offer, Gulu on the side knew it was over. She hurriedly said, "Solomon, you can't be seduced by Soul Coins, you have to..."

"Deal."

Solomon took out a slip of paper, and after forming characters on it with mental power, handed it to Su Xiao.

Solomon turned and left, rushing to another dangerous place; that was the resource production area he favored.

After Su Xiao perceived the characters on the slip of paper, he crushed it. He arrived in front of the large tree hole. The entrance to the large tree hole was overflowing with corrosive black mud; it was clearly impossible to enter it.

Su Xiao took some corrosive black mud, tried dripping a few types of solutions into it, and asked the others, "Do you have any way to enter the large tree hole?"

"No."

"Not for the moment."

"Absolutely no way."

Wood, Orna, the three National Football brothers, and Gulu all expressed their stance.

"Then I can rest easy."

After Su Xiao finished this sentence, he took out a bottle of solution and crushed it. Afterward, the mist formed by mixing this solution constructed a crystal layer on his body surface, wrapping his entire body.

With a splash, Su Xiao leaped into the large tree hole and sank into the black mud.

"Ah, this~"

Gulu was speechless for a moment. This way of eating alone left her with no temper at all.

Above the White Swamp, an old-fashioned airplane flew in the sky. Inside the cabin, Paul, who looked like an alien, lay on a long chair, crossing his legs and holding a pornographic magazine.

"Coordinates reached."

The hippo-headed pilot in the cockpit ahead leaned out and shouted. Paul immediately sat up, took out a personal terminal, and pressed his fingers on it continuously. The private job he had taken this time was walking on the edge of the rules, but as long as he was cautious, there wouldn't be any problems.

After confirming the precise coordinates, Paul went to the back of the cabin and tapped his index finger on the upright single-person drop pod.

"Brother, we've reached the station. Prepare yourself; don't blame us if you get rejected by the world."

Thump thump.

A slight knocking sound came from inside the drop pod, which counted as a response to Paul.

"Brother, I've heard of your big name. After you land, don't cause too much trouble; I'm afraid of being implicated."

After Paul finished speaking, he gripped the joystick with one hand and pulled it down with a click. The single-person drop pod in front of him fell, free-falling into the White Swamp below.

"Hope nothing happens."

Paul muttered to himself. The sharp-eared hippo-headed pilot heard his words and smiled foolishly, saying, "Paul, you're really kind. Don't worry, the guest will be fine."

"Fart! I'm hoping the world will be fine. What kind of evil did I get into to actually take a private job for those two guys?"

Paul looked down at the single-person drop pod gradually disappearing from his sight, his mood suddenly becoming uneasy.
