Chapter 3455: The Last Monarch

Drip, drip~

Moist blood, revealing a fluorescent blue light, dripped along the edge of the dining table. A huge sea monster head was placed on the table. Its appearance could vaguely show some facial features of the Captain of the Imperial Guard, Arle. In those fixed ghostly blue pupils, there was no cruelty, but astonishment.

Perhaps Arle himself didn't expect that after distorting into a monster, he would die so quickly and so miserably. Although his head was still intact, his body was evenly distributed on the surrounding walls, and a part of it had been devoured by Sin Abyss. Sin Abyss's original words were that it tasted terrible, like dead fish.

Su Xiao flicked away the fluorescent blue blood on his blade. Although killing Arle didn't take much effort, this Captain of the Imperial Guard was raised in vain. After distorting into a monster, this guy had a very troublesome ability.

Although Arle's blood and body fluids didn't have corrosive power, they had erosive power. After this guy distorted, he was best at spitting a kind of fluorescent blue body fluid.

This body fluid had a slightly sticky feeling. Once touched by it, one would suffer an abnormal state called "Water Silt Blood."

This abnormal state is quite terrifying. Once hit, it will lead to a reduction in health recovery, weakness, temporary aging, and a deceleration effect that increases over time, plus a temporary reduction in all attributes.

If the erosion degree exceeded 50%, the body would undergo irreversible distortion. After exceeding 100%, one would completely distort into a monster.

What was even more unsolvable was that this abnormal state wouldn't be lifted on its own, but would continue to deepen its effect as time passed.

Simply put, after suffering this abnormal state, if it couldn't be lifted within an hour, one would be so weak that even walking would be difficult. Encountering an enemy meant certain death.

Su Xiao determined this information through detecting Arle's data, and that the other party had become like this because of the rapid outbreak of "Turbid Blood Disease."

The reason why "Water Silt Blood" was so terrifying had to start from its source.

In the beginning, the old Elf King used the "Talent Awakening Device" to highly activate the Abyss power and drank it to improve his talent ability, which had already buried the root of the disaster. But at that time, the "Water Silt Blood" was only a prototype and couldn't even break out.

At that time, the activated Abyss power was called "Source Water." Although it wasn't rare, it was strictly controlled.

During the period when the old Elf King led the Elf Clan to fight for territory with the Tree Spirits, because the Tree Spirits were of the Abyss lineage, the Elf Clan was no match at all. In order for the race to continue, and in order to seize the territory sufficient to support the Elf Clan's habitat, the Elf Clan at that time was united as one. Their faith was to defeat the strong enemy and continue the race. For this, they didn't hesitate to turn into evil ghosts.

That was the period when "Source Water" was most abused. The old Elf King even opened the ban on the Great Ruins, and anyone could enter to collect and drink "Source Water" to rush to the battlefield.

In the end, the Elf Clan won. As the price of victory, most of them had changes in skin color and pupil color. The skin became light blue, and the pupils were ghostly blue.

All the Elf Clan members at that time knew that this wasn't evolution, but distortion. So most of the warriors at that time didn't choose to leave offspring, and they grew old alone with the glory of the past, including the old Elf King.

The descendants left behind by those who were still considered normal Elf Clan members, because of their long-term reliance on the "Talent Awakening Device" and "Abyss Power," didn't let the second-generation Elf King ban the Great Ruins, but distributed "Source Water" in moderation.

Drinking "Source Water" generation after generation buried the root of the outbreak of "Turbid Blood Disease." This wasn't the most important thing. 15 years ago, the Elf Clan's "Turbid Blood Disease" broke out comprehensively.

The curse of blood distortion broke out, and the Elf Clan was forced into a desperate situation. It was precisely at this time that the Mother of Water, which had originally been imprisoned in the "Dark Domain," escaped. For this reason, it was injured to the point of near death. The Mother of Water had multiple divinities, half evil and half neutral.

At that time, some people in the fishing village also contracted "Turbid Blood Disease." Because they had saved the Mother of Water, the Mother of Water chose to treat them. The method was to let those villagers drink its blood, using the water-characteristic-rich blood as a "diluent" to resolve the "Turbid Blood Disease."

The Mother of Water was a god, but gods were not omnipotent. Its blood seemed to have cured the "Turbid Blood Disease," but in reality, it was raising the upper limit of the Turbid Blood Disease.

Assuming the original upper limit of the "Turbid Blood Disease" was 10, then an Elf Clan member's "Turbid Blood Disease" would break out when it reached 10. But if this upper limit were raised by 50, it would seem to be cured in the near term, but when it broke out, it couldn't be cured. This was enhancing the "Turbid Blood Disease" instead of curing it.

The Mother of Water didn't know this, and the Elf King royal family didn't know it either. They only saw that the "Turbid Blood Disease" in the fishing village was cured.

The Elf King royal family dispatched an expedition team. The 16 members of the expedition team were all the top powerhouses of the Elf Clan at that time, including the father of the Captain of the Imperial Guard, Arle.

The expedition team went under the name of friendship. The statement to the fishing village was that they wanted to resolve this disaster by having the whole clan believe in the Mother of Water.

The people in the fishing village cheered. On one side was their ruling royal family, and on the other was their god. It was certainly better for both sides to unite.

At that time, the Mother of Water was also very hesitant. Treating the fishing village was one thing, and treating the entire Elf Clan was another. There were only a few people in the fishing village, and a little blood was enough. But the entire Elf Clan...

There were two points that made it difficult for the Mother of Water to give up: the faith power that the Elf Clan could provide, and the environment in the Great Ruins suitable for it to live for a long time. These two points had a fatal attraction to it.

After the expedition team arrived at the fishing village, they claimed to be escorting the Mother of Water. But as soon as the Mother of Water went ashore, it was besieged by the expedition team. The result was that the Mother of Water was defeated by the Elf King Cromwell, who was hidden in the expedition team. This was a ruthless person who even the Dark Spirits admitted had the qualifications to become a king.

After the Elf King Cromwell captured the Mother of Water alive, he ordered the purge of the fishing village. All believers of the Mother of Water were executed for the crime of believing in an evil cult.

After that, the "Turbid Blood Disease" in Bay City and the surrounding Forest City was cured. Almost everyone in the Elf Clan had drunk the medicinal soup containing the flesh and blood of the Mother of Water, which also led to the "Turbid Blood Disease," which was already terrible, being enhanced and evolved into the "Water Silt Blood" effect.

A simple analogy is that after the ancestors of the Elf Clan drank "Source Water," their bloodline underwent distortion, but this distortion had no clear direction. 15 years ago, the Elf Clan drank the medicinal soup containing the flesh and blood of the Mother of Water, which gave their bloodline distortion a direction, thereby accelerating the progress.

This was also why the Captain of the Imperial Guard, Arle, distorted into a sea monster similar to a merman.

The characteristics of "Blood of Water Stagnation" include Abyss, Ocean, Water Infiltration, Weakness/Aging, etc. This is definitely the most terrifying abnormal state in the Tree-Born World; "Soul Cold Freeze" and "True Deadly Poison" cannot be compared with it.

At present, "Turbid Blood Disease" had broken out comprehensively in Bay City. The streets were full of distorted monsters, and the residents who hadn't distorted were screaming and fleeing everywhere.

The reason why it broke out on a large scale in such a short time was because of the arrival of the Abyss Jar. This was an object from the Abyss. Its arrival invisibly accelerated the bloodline distortion caused by the Abyss power, such as the "Turbid Blood Disease."

"Roar!!"

A roar came from outside. In the living room on the third floor of the mansion, Su Xiao looked out the window. The originally prosperous Rear City District was now in chaos. A deep-sea giant python, dozens of meters long, coiled on the statue of the old Elf King Bole Alond, its flower-like monster mouth opened to the maximum, roaring at the sky.

The clean streets in the city were now eroded to be old and covered with a black, oily, greasy substance. The walls were densely covered with barnacles, looking uneven. It was simply a gospel for those with trypophobia.

The sky, which was clear and cloudless just a moment ago, now became gloomy and depressed. The black dark clouds covered the sky, and in the moist and cold air, a fishy smell of marine creatures permeated.

Everything came too fast. A moment ago, this was still the passionate, open, and even dissolute Elf Capital, and the next moment it became such an apocalyptic scene.

In fact, this wasn't sudden. The "Turbid Blood Disease" had been suppressed for too long. Now that it broke out all at once, coupled with the characteristics of the Mother of Water, this water-type evil god, Bay City becoming like this was actually inevitable.

Before, in the rear courtyard of the Wang Gong, Su Xiao felt uncomfortable when he saw the misty water vapor there. He held his breath and didn't inhale it. Seeing this scene now, he knew why he felt uncomfortable before.

【Warning: The area you are in will be converted into a high-risk area in 3 to 5 hours.】

【Announcement (Tree of Void): Far South/Elf Capital/Pandalen (Bay City) is about to distort into a high-risk area.】

【Elf Capital/Pandalen (Bay City), name changing...】

【The place name of this place will be changed to "Silt Land" in the notarization.】

Seeing this series of announcements and hints, Su Xiao knew the situation was not good. Now was the initial stage of Bay City distorting into "Silt Land."

In Su Xiao's view, not only could he not go deep now, but he had to leave as soon as possible. It wasn't that he liked to challenge high difficulty, but that there were "distortion sources" everywhere in the city. How many Elf Clan members were still alive in the Rear City District, there were that many "distortion sources."

Su Xiao closed his eyes and sensed himself. Although it was very subtle, he could feel that the moisture in his body was changing at a slow speed. Perhaps he didn't even need the monsters in the city to attack him, and he would suffer the "Water Silt Blood" effect.

This place was not suitable for staying long. Even if he really wanted to find the "Talent Awakening Device," he had to wait for this "distortion tide" to fade and the situation to stabilize before he could step into this place. As for selling "Life Secret Medicine" to the Elf Clan, don't even think about it; the Elf Clan was finished.

Just as Su Xiao was thinking about these things quickly in his mind, Caesar on the side took out the Abyss Jar. He saw the Abyss Jar enlarge by a few circles, and Caesar buckled it on his head. The combination was complete.

"My dear friend, do you need Caesar to help you scout the way?"

Caesar spoke with a cunning smile, rubbing his hands.

"Can you go deep into the Great Ruins?"

"If it's just me, I can. You know, Abyss power won't erode me in this state."

Caesar knocked on the Abyssal Jar on his head. Indeed, with this thing buckled on his head, it would be strange if he were eroded by the power of the Abyss.

After a brief discussion, Su Xiao, Wood, Sin Abyss, Caesar, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Baha decided to split into three teams.

Su Xiao and Baha were one team. They had to go to the Wang Gong within an hour and find the Elf King Cromwell. The reason was that the passage to the Great Ruins was likely set with layers of seals, and without the Royal Family providing the opening method, it would be difficult to go deep there, especially in the situation where Bay City had aberrated.

Caesar, Wood, and Sin Abyss were one team. They were to explore the Wang Gong (looting during the chaos) and find the entrance to the Great Ruins, confirming whether the degree of aberration there was serious, to facilitate subsequent actions. Finally, Caesar would temporarily sneak into the Great Ruins by some means he was unwilling to disclose. According to him, he could sneak in for 30 seconds, and what he could discover would all depend on luck.

Xiang Bubu was responsible for going to the underground prison beneath the Wang Gong to rescue Aidor. Su Xiao had been busy recently, and plus, that special overlord unit had been fostered there for several days, and he had forgotten about her. Now, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang would go to rescue her. No matter what, this was 100 points of Killing Merit.

This action must be fast, with a time limit of 1 hour for the whole process. In any case, they had to withdraw from Bay City within 1 hour to avoid being affected by the subsequent deep aberration of Bay City.

It wasn't that Su Xiao hadn't thought about taking this opportunity to reach the Great Ruins in one go and complete his talent awakening using the "Talent Awakening Device" there. The problem was that he didn't want to perform talent awakening while this area was in the process of aberration. That would be too suicidal. Before he had a certain degree of certainty, he never did anything suicidal... cough, he never performed dangerous attempts.

"One hour."

Wood pressed the timer in his hand. Just as the group was about to split up, the door downstairs was kicked open with a bang.

"Boss, are you okay? Many monsters suddenly appeared in the city and attacked our clinic. Look, I brought out all the valuable things from home."

The Fishing Village Boss quickly climbed the stairs, carrying a large package containing the bottles and jars Su Xiao had placed in the clinic's laboratory, as well as daily necessities, etc. He even brought back the toothbrush Su Xiao had been using recently.

"..."

"This~"

Baha was a bit dumbfounded. The four people from the fishing village, hired for 10 silver coins a day, were too cost-effective.

Compared to cost-effectiveness, Su Xiao was more concerned about why the four people from the fishing village hadn't aberrated. Logically speaking, the possibility of them aberrating should be dozens of times higher than that of ordinary people.

Su Xiao thought of a possibility. If this conjecture were true, then this would be a windfall.

Su Xiao guessed that the four people from the fishing village hadn't aberrated, likely because they had injected "Life Secret Medicine." After all, this was a potent inhibitor of "Turbid Blood Disease."

The reason why he said this was a windfall was because after the announcement of the Tree of the Void appeared, Su Xiao could be sure that 70% or even 80% of the remaining combatants would rush over. High-risk areas were indeed dangerous, but they also represented high returns. The contractors who could enter the Tree-Born World all had some ability.

Just like Su Xiao's team's "noob" Aidor, if she were placed in a Tier 8 medium-risk world, she would definitely be a very popular healer.

The problem was that the Tier 8 contractors of Su Xiao's generation had an extremely high level in the top tier. With "monsters and demons" like Su Xiao, the Priest, the Gray Gentleman, Solomon, Black Demon, Undead Sister, Crow Woman, Sin Abyss, and Wood pulling up the combat power in front, others could only climb upward with all their might.

In the past, Tier 8s like Xian Ji, Saint Poetry, and Orland were the strongest in the top tier of Tier 8. Unfortunately, this generation was different. Even someone as strong as Xian Ji was almost being pushed to the second tier by the "monsters and demons" above.

So, it really wasn't that Aidor and the others were noobs, but that Su Xiao, the Gray Gentleman, Solomon, and others were all a bit out of the ordinary.

Therefore, the contractors and rule-breakers who entered the Tree-Born World this time were not real noobs; they just seemed a bit noobish compared to Su Xiao and the others.

So, these noobs... cough, these combatants all dared to come to explore high-risk areas. Even if they didn't go deep, they would still fish for benefits in the peripheral areas.

If the reason why the four people from the fishing village hadn't aberrated was really because they had injected "Life Secret Medicine," then could it be understood that after Bay City's aberration was completed, "Life Secret Medicine" would be the ticket to enter this place?

In order to trade with the Elf Royal Family, Su Xiao had recently concocted quite a bit of "Life Secret Medicine." Not to mention, selling each dose for 500 Soul Coins, if 100 people bought it, that would be 50,000 Soul Coins. The production cost of "Life Secret Medicine" was no more than 3 Soul Coins per dose, a full 167 times the profit.

The most critical thing was that Su Xiao's notoriety was widespread. As long as those combatants had a shred of rationality, they wouldn't try to rob him when buying "Life Secret Medicine." Furthermore, if they really tried to move against him, Su Xiao definitely wouldn't be the one being robbed. He was a Law Breaker. Since ancient times, Law Breakers had never been robbed; they were the ones robbing others. Otherwise, why would they come up with the "Law Breaker Formula" to soothe their conscience?

The four people from the fishing village still had their original appearance, but after killing their way here, they were covered in quite a bit of thick, fluorescent blue blood.

The plan remained unchanged. Su Xiao led the four people from the fishing village and Baha to advance toward the Wang Gong in the back.

The four people from the fishing village took the initiative to assume the role of bodyguards, each holding a fish-killing knife. The boss and the second brother walked in front of Su Xiao, and the third and fourth brothers were behind.

The street was dead silent. Every distance, one could see a large pool of blood. These bloodstains had traces of being licked, and scattered pieces of flesh and meat could be seen. One could imagine the monsters feasting on the Elf race here just now.

The sky was dim, but unlike at night, as long as one's eyesight wasn't too bad, one could see the situation around. Looking into the distance, one could see the Wang Gong standing in the innermost area of Bay City.

Because they were in the early stage of aberration, plus having the powerful bodyguards of the four people from the fishing village, Su Xiao's journey was quite smooth, and it didn't take long for him to arrive near the main gate of the Wang Gong.

The situation here could only be described as tragic. The towering walls of the Wang Gong courtyard were also covered with parasitic shellfish like barnacles. The main gate, originally guarded by heavy troops, was almost covered with fluorescent blue blood and minced meat. Some aberrated monsters that weren't dead yet were still twitching their bodies, trying to get up.

Boom!

A blood spear pierced the monster's head, killing it. No kill notification or reward appeared.

The reason for this was the particularity of the Tree-Born World. Bay City was aberrating into a dangerous area. At this stage, the Tree of the Void would not notarize Bay City comprehensively, but would wait until Bay City's aberration was completed and it formally became the "Turbid Land" before the Tree of the Void would perform a perfect notarization.

Only then could one obtain kill rewards. Fundamentally speaking, kill rewards couldn't be completely considered as being given by the Tree of the Void. For example, the Soul Coins obtained after killing enemies were condensed from the soul energy that should have dissipated from the killed monsters.

Treasure chests were the same. From Tier 1 to now, Su Xiao had confirmed one thing: for example, the treasure chest obtained after he killed a sword-wielding enemy would definitely not contain a sniper cannon, but could only contain items the enemy possessed before death or abilities they had already mastered, etc.

So, fighting these monsters to the death now was a big loss, especially against elite units. After fighting for a long time, the result was that nothing was obtained, and he was splashed with blood.

Su Xiao restrained his aura and came to the wall next to the main gate of the Wang Gong, looking inside. As for why he didn't use perception, it was interesting to say: a long time ago, Su Xiao, who had just entered a high-risk area, released his perception as soon as he entered, and then happily pulled a train of monsters. At that time, he was still riding Xiang Bubu, and Xiang Bubu was run until he almost fainted.

In the large front courtyard of the Wang Gong, several monsters were wandering. They were humanoid in their entirety, with heads that were a combination of human and fish. The skin revealed a slippery feeling in the cold white. These giant fish-men stepped on the ground, making a "splat, splat" sound. In their hands, they held weapons stained with blood.

These seven giant fish-men were all over three meters tall, with ghostly blue eyes. These were elite individuals.

In a high-risk area like Bay City, more than 5 elite individuals might be stronger than some big bosses. Their attacks, as well as the body fluid mist they spat out, all carried the "Blood of Water Stagnation" effect. No matter what kind of hero one was, once the erosion degree of "Blood of Water Stagnation" exceeded 50%, one would enter the "sunset red" state on the spot, panting after running a few steps, and forget about fighting.

"Go."

The Fishing Village Boss spoke in a low voice, which made the second, third, and fourth brothers look hesitant.

"Big brother, are we just going to charge in like this?"

"What do you think? Do you think we are here for a vacation?"

After the Fishing Village Boss dropped this sentence, he held his fish-killing knife and crept forward.

Swish!

The fish-killing knife sank deep into the back of a giant fish-man's head. The fish-man groaned in pain, and after swinging its upper body wildly, the large guillotine in its hand swung down, making a roar on the ground.

Taking advantage of the four people from the fishing village attracting the enemy's attention, Su Xiao bypassed from the side. The four people from the fishing village didn't need to solve the enemy. After making a certain commotion, their mission was over, and they could retreat along the original path.

Su Xiao went deep along the path next to the main hall. He had a way to find the Elf King. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had installed a micro-tracking device on the other party before. Although the Elf King was strong, he suffered from never having seen such nano-level technological creations.

The worst result right now was that the Elf King had also aberrated. The best result was that not only had the Elf King not aberrated, but his personal guard team had also been preserved, which would increase their side's combat power significantly.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao took out the 【Holy Snake Protection】 and wrapped this pendant around his wrist. The reason for doing so was to facilitate observing the situation of the Holy Snake inside the hollow gemstone, to prevent the tragedy of the 【Wandering Luan】 from repeating itself.

Not knowing if it was an illusion, Su Xiao discovered that the little golden snake inside the hollow gemstone seemed to be shivering a bit, its round, big eyes looking at him eagerly, with a look of "please let me go."

At this critical juncture, Su Xiao needed the favor of good luck. Moreover, the Holy Snake was a growth-type lucky item. It had to constantly swallow bad luck to increase its appetite. For example, this time it swallowed bad luck with a weight of 5. After digesting it, it could swallow a bad luck amount with an upper limit of 8 next time.

Su Xiao stepped into the rear hall. Everywhere he looked, there were corpses, some of fish-men monsters, and some of Elf soldiers.

Stopping in front of a thick metal door, Su Xiao knocked on the door. According to the terminal's tracking, the Elf King was inside.

A moment later, a weak voice came from inside the door, asking: "Who."

"..."

"Bai Ye?"

"Hmm."

"Wait a moment, let me recover for a while before helping you open the door."

After a while, the metal door was pushed open by the Elf King from the inside. He was almost skin and bones at this time, his eyes dark blue.

Entering the hall, Su Xiao saw corpses everywhere wearing gorgeous clothes. The skin of these corpses was pale blue, and they were all women. Judging from their posture and facial contours, they were all beauties before they died.

"These are my more than 100 wives. They were almost driven crazy by pain during the aberration, so I could only send them away."

As the Elf King spoke, he took off his armor. He sat cross-legged in front of the throne and said: "You came just in time. I can't hold on for much longer, so cut off my head to prevent me from aberrating into those fish monsters. It's not that I'm bragging, but if I turn into that kind of monster, I should be quite strong."

"..."

"Do it. I could only lead the Elf race to this day, barely surviving for more than ten years. However, in these ten years, the people lived quite prosperously, although they were a bit indulgent... hehehe..."

The Elf King laughed freely. At his height, he knew more than ten years ago that the Elf race was finished, but he couldn't mention it to anyone, not even his closest people.

This was the cruelty of the Tree-Born World. After one ethnic group declines, a new ethnic group will rise. The Elf Kings of all generations didn't have the qualifications to become kings. Every time, they clashed with the Dark Elves and forcibly sat on the throne.

Using the metaphor of luck, after the Old Elf King rose, the luck of the Elf race was actually exhausted, and the Dark Elves were a representative form of the world's luck.

Therefore, every generation of Elf King was forcibly extending the life of the Elf race. After extending it for a thousand years, the accumulated bloodline curse erupted in a tragic way.

Ironically, the last Elf King, Cromwell, actually gained the approval of the Dark Elves and was rightfully crowned king. Or rather, it was precisely because he was the last king that he gained approval.

"Oh, forgot one thing. This is also the reason why you came to find me, right? Wait a moment."

The Elf King Cromwell slowly exhaled. Suddenly, he pierced his index and middle fingers into his brain under his ear, probing into his brain, and pulled out a blood-stained key from his brain with his two fingers.

"This is the key to open the 'Earth Gate.' Past the Earth Gate is the Great Ruins. The 'Talent Awakening Device' belonging to the Law Breaker is inside. Don't ever insert this key into the lock hole of the 'Earth Gate.' That will only trigger the mechanism. You hold it and fight in front of the 'Earth Gate' for a few minutes, and the 'Earth Gate' will open."

After giving these instructions, the Elf King Cromwell tossed the key in his hand. His eyes had already begun to turn ghostly blue, indicating that his sanity was aberrating.

"Come on."

Zing~

Su Xiao pulled out the long sword at his waist. The Elf King Cromwell, sitting cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes. He had aberrated too severely and was already beyond cure.

The blade cut out a whimpering sound. The Elf King Cromwell clenched his fists. After a crisp sound of the blade, fluorescent blue blood beads splashed. In front of the throne, a headless corpse gradually relaxed.

Su Xiao shook off the blood on the blade, sheathed the long sword, and walked toward the outside of the hall. Before leaving, he closed the two metal doors, which caused the light in the hall to gradually dim. A strip of light gathered on the headless corpse of the Elf King and the throne inside. With the closing of the metal doors, this strip of light disappeared, and the thousand-year Elf Dynasty came to an end today.

Underground prison, in a secluded cell, Aidor sat sideways in front of iron bars as thick as goose eggs. She held an iron bar in each hand, and BGM of "Iron Window Tears" seemed to appear in the air on its own.

Aidor hated it. She strongly suspected that the big thigh she was hugging this time had forgotten about her. Otherwise, the four people from the fishing village were all out of prison, so why was she still locked up here?

Aidor had tried to escape, but this was the underground prison of the Wang Gong, with numerous types of barriers and restraints.

Just as Aidor was thinking, a rough panting sound came. She looked at the sound, and in the dark corridor, a tall figure walked over, accompanied by a fishy smell.

When Aidor saw the face of this giant fish-man, she thought something had gone wrong outside, and she had an intuition that she was very likely unable to beat this fish monster.

The giant fish-man stopped outside the cell. It stood between two cells, the right one being Aidor's cell, and the left one being an elderly prisoner.

The giant fish-man "thought" with its remaining intelligence. Feeling that Aidor was tender and should be better to eat, it crashed into the iron bars of Aidor's cell.

Seeing this scene, Aidor took out her staff, preparing to teach this silly giant fish a lesson about what "big body, weak door" meant.

Boom!

As soon as the giant fish-man crashed, several iron bars of the cell bent inward immediately, which made Aidor's brain buzz. If this fish-man brother rushed in, eating her and chewing a radish would have no essential difference.

The situation changed suddenly. Aidor didn't dare to act easily. If the cell couldn't stop this fish-man brother, her attack would only make the other party angrier, thereby increasing the speed of breaking the door.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Loud noises came one after another. At this critical moment.

"Woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang appeared. Seeing him, Aidor was so moved that she almost burst into tears.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang tilted his head back, signaling Aidor to get on his back. Aidor immediately rode up. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang activated the effect of "Holy Traveler" and charged toward the side wall.

"Wait..."

Bang~

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang passed through the wall, and Aidor slapped onto it. Her face hurt a lot. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who ran back, bit Aidor's back collar and charged toward the wall again.

"I won't..."

Bang~

Aidor hit her head on the wall. She wanted to say, if she could pass through walls, would she have been locked up for so many days?

"Woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang left behind a "you noob" and turned to rush out of the cell. Only after hearing a wolf howl did dense running sounds come. Many lop-eared dogs rushed in, some of which were mildly aberrated but could still maintain their sanity.

"Woof (Attack it)."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang gave an order, and hundreds of lop-eared dogs rushed in, pouncing on the fish-man brother.

A few minutes later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, stained with blood and carrying Aidor, rushed out of the underground prison under the escort of a large group of lop-eared dogs.

"Awoo!"

With a high-pitched wolf howl from Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, dense lop-eared dogs rushed out from the surrounding buildings and alleys.

At the edge of the jungle outside Bay City, Su Xiao confirmed that there were no trackers and checked the team channel. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's side had succeeded and had withdrawn from Bay City from the other side.

According to the prior agreement, after the event, everyone would gather at the nearby Sunshine Wetland, that is, at the Mushroom Prophet's house.

"Boss, two space fluctuations appeared. It should be that someone has teleported near Bay City."

Baha landed on Su Xiao's shoulder while speaking. Su Xiao wasn't surprised by this news; there would only be more combatants arriving later.

While moving forward, Su Xiao raised his right hand and looked at the pendant wrapped around his wrist. This look was not trivial; he discovered that the Holy Snake inside the hollow gemstone looked very abnormal, almost spherical.

The Holy Snake inside the gemstone looked at Su Xiao pitifully, tears in its round eyes. That little expression seemed to be saying: "Big boss, I really can't eat anymore. Please put me away, or just take pity on me and let me go. I haven't lived enough yet."

The Holy Snake completely realized the seriousness of the matter. After following Su Xiao, the first cooperation made it jump wildly between life and death. It had been puffed up into a ball. This was no longer it swallowing bad luck, but as long as it was worn by Su Xiao, bad luck would surge into the Holy Snake's mouth. Not to mention catching its breath, it couldn't even close its mouth, crying the whole time.
