Chapter 3460: Path of Destiny

Caesar's potion stall was very popular. Because of his image, the participants called him the Jar Merchant. Looking at Caesar's thoughtful look, it seemed he had new business inspiration.

Although Caesar was a bit of a profiteer, he still retained a little bit of a bottom line. The potions he sold could only be used in a non-combat state. Generally, people wouldn't die from drinking this kind of thing.

Imagine, if it were a potion used in combat, a participant was in Bei City, fighting to the point of victory or defeat with an elite murloc monster. This participant, whose health was less than 20%, took out the 【Life-Saving Elixir】 sold by Caesar at a critical moment, and after gulping it down, recovered 0.2% of health. That mood was simply like being struck by lightning.

However, there was one point: there would be no bad reviews for this kind of potion, the principle of which was equivalent to a parachute in the style of a fishing net.

Although 【Life-Saving Elixir】 was a recovery item for non-combat use, Su Xiao estimated that anyone who could drink this thing and get more than 50% healing amount must have saved the galaxy seven or eight times in their previous life; it was impossible to do so.

【Prompt: You have received 3752 Soul Coins mailed by Nicholas Caesar.】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao remained calm. Although he didn't participate in this matter at all, he also got a dividend.

Caesar's potion business was done at a high level. Although he priced it at 10 Soul Coins per bottle, he used the banner of small profits but quick turnover. Every participant who bought the first bottle of potion from him could enjoy an 80% discount.

This time it was a real 80% discount. When a participant, holding the attitude of trying it out, spent 2 Soul Coins to buy a bottle of 【Life-Saving Elixir】 and tried the effect, they would inevitably have suspicions in their hearts. Right now, recovery potions were so scarce, would someone really sell them at a low price?

Therefore, that participant would likely hold the attitude of trying it out and try to drink the first bottle of recovery potion bought for 2 Soul Coins to test the effect. Even if the vital signs were good at the moment, after drinking the recovery potion, they could still feel the nourishment and replenishment of vitality.

After that participant drank the potion, they would find: Wow! The recovery item bought for 2 Soul Coins could really restore 99% of health in a short time.

That was of course. The first bottle of 【Life-Saving Elixir】 wasn't watered down, so the effect was definitely good.

After tasting the sweetness, that participant would think, the discount item bought for 2 Soul Coins was like this, then the genuine product bought for 10 Soul Coins must be even better.

"Damn, this is a fake medicine!"

"Huh?"

"Huh my ass. I bought 15 bottles in total. I wasn't at ease and tried another bottle. To test the actual combat effect, I even stabbed myself with a dagger, and as a result, it only restored 0.32% of health."

"Fart, I just drank it, the medicine effect was so strong that vitality overflowed, and I even had a nosebleed."

"Try drinking another bottle."

"Wow, it really is a fake medicine. Where is that merchant with a black jar on his head?!"

"Catch that dog thief, I bought more than 30 bottles!"

Before long, the Mushroom Village became even more lively. Many violators were wearing masks of pain. Caesar, who was drawing water with a recycled plastic bucket by the stream, hurriedly accelerated his movements.

The participants who came to the Mushroom Village fully experienced the malice of the world.

However, all this had nothing to do with Su Xiao. The reason he hadn't set off yet was that he was waiting for Wood and Zuiyas. Only after those two arrived could he explore Bei City. Otherwise, without even a teammate who could be sold at a critical moment, he wouldn't feel at ease.

Su Xiao pushed open the door of a small wooden house. The room wasn't big, but it was notarized. Before getting his permission, anyone who broke in here would be judged as an intruder and suffer warnings and punishments from the Tree of the Void.

The wooden door closed, isolating the noise outside. Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the small bed and meditated daily. Wood and Zuiyas were still in the Soul Arena, and he estimated they would return to the Mushroom Village by evening.

After Su Xiao meditated for two hours, a knock on the door pulled him out of the meditation state. After Xiang Bubu opened the door, it was Gulu standing outside.

Gulu's dark circles were thicker than last time, as if she had put on smoky makeup.

"How is it? Did you solve Saint Poetry?"

Baja spoke. Hearing this, Gulu raised her hand, and a mouth in the palm of her hand said: "Don't sow discord between us, we are best friends."

It was Saint Poetry's voice. Hearing this, Baja looked surprised. It was hard to imagine that the two who were at odds before and wanted to kill each other had actually become best friends.

Actually, this was normal. Before, Gulu had been tossed around by Saint Poetry, as if she had been put in a super sleepy state. As long as she slept, she had to experience the pain of drowning. Of course, Gulu wanted to kill Saint Poetry.

The 【Half-Melted Fat Candle】 provided by Su Xiao solved this problem, giving Gulu a way to fight back. Because Saint Poetry swallowed the 【Half-Melted Fat Candle】 twice, she became associated with this thing. Although it didn't lure the Candle Woman's main body, it lured the Candle Woman's projection.

As long as Gulu fell asleep, she and Saint Poetry had to flee in the intricate consciousness world. Once one of them was touched by the Candle Woman's projection, it would lead to the Candle Woman instantly eroding them. By then, it wouldn't be as simple as Gulu and Saint Poetry dying suddenly, but they would be between life and death, taken away by the Candle Woman in soul form. By then, it would be the true beginning of despair.

Precisely because of this, Gulu and Saint Poetry turned into the "horror game" escape sisters. However, this was before solving the Candle Woman projection problem. Once this problem was solved, the escape sisters would immediately turn into plastic sisters, embodying what was called plastic sisterhood.

"Look, how effective the method we provided is. It adjusted the relationship between you two who were at odds before. This friendship is so thoroughly cleared."

Baja started talking without back pain. Gulu and Saint Poetry both hated it, but didn't say it clearly.

"Bai Ye, do you have a way to solve the Candle Woman projection? Also, I don't want this broken candle of yours, return that IOU to me."

Gulu threw the 【Half-Melted Fat Candle】 over. Su Xiao took out a small charcoal box, opened it in his hand, caught the fat candle, and snapped it shut.

"See, this is what you call professional. You, a silly person, not only hold it with bare hands but also stuff it into my mouth."

"Shut up, bitch."

Gulu drew her short knife and prepared to cut her own palm. Saint Poetry really shut up.

Through these few days of contact, Saint Poetry had learned a lot about Gulu, knowing that once Gulu got stubborn, she dared to do anything. Once, Saint Poetry kept provoking her, and Gulu got so angry that she cut her own throat, preparing to drag Saint Poetry to hell together. Since then, Saint Poetry had been much more polite to this little neurotic.

"IOU."

Gulu raised her hand to ask for the IOU. Su Xiao didn't pay attention. Just as Gulu showed anger and was about to step forward, crystal layers gradually spread on Su Xiao's right hand.

Seeing this scene, Gulu's cheeks twitched imperceptibly. She knew very well that every time Su Xiao wanted to beat her, both hands and two small forearms would be covered with crystal layers, and then he would beat her to death. Once, because she didn't submit, he beat her to the brink of death first, then gave her recovery potions, and beat her again, even breaking her legs.

"What IOU?"

Su Xiao looked at Gulu "confusedly."

"It's the IOU I wrote before."

As soon as Gulu's words fell.

"Contract... signed."

Su Xiao's voice suddenly became hollow, but then recovered. The contract IOU drafted by Wood before had a drawback: it belonged to secondary tampering, so the connection with Gulu wasn't very precise, separated by Wood's contract relay.

Now it was different. Gulu herself admitted that she had written the IOU before. Wood's contract power lay in language, lies, etc. After Gulu said that sentence just now, the contract IOU bypassed the relay and directly "bound" to Gulu.

Saint Poetry, who watched the whole process, although didn't know what exactly happened, also felt it was profound. She muttered in a low voice: "Is this the old schemer of Samsara Paradise."

Gulu knew she had been calculated, but she had a more urgent matter. If she didn't solve the Candle Woman projection, fixing the IOU contract was meaningless. Right now, she was about to die suddenly, so who cared about the IOU.

"So, do you have a way to solve our problem?"

While Gulu spoke, she inexplicably felt a sharp pain in her wallet. However, thinking that Saint Poetry's brand was also there, meaning the other party also had assets and could split the cost with her, her mood improved a bit.

"There are two ways to solve your problem."

"Please give me some pointers."

Saint Poetry spoke. She previously thought her ability was weird enough, but after experiencing the Candle Woman, she felt as if she had seen another world.

"The first method is free, the second method is 5000 Soul Coins, you choose for yourselves."

Su Xiao's words made Gulu and Saint Poetry feel tangled. Saint Poetry asked: "What is the first method?"

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, just took out another charcoal box, opened it, and presented the roots of the Lush Frenzy.

The first method was simple and brutal: fight poison with poison. Since Gulu and Saint Poetry were entangled by the Candle Woman's projection, then invite an existence of the same level as the Candle Woman, the Lush Frenzy.

By then, it was guaranteed to be cured. As for whether they would die at the hands of the Lush Frenzy, Su Xiao only cared about driving away the Candle Woman. Whether Gulu and Saint Poetry died was not within the scope of the transaction.

After Baja described "Therapy 1," it wasn't clear what expression Saint Poetry had, but Gulu's little face turned blue with anger. She felt that this therapy was like a patient having a headache, and then cutting off the patient's head to cure the headache, which had the same effect.

Saint Poetry asked tentatively: "What about the second method?"

"The second method requires paying the reward first."

Su Xiao took out a Soul Crystal and took a bite. Occasionally eating some Soul Crystals was good for stabilizing soul power. This was the best tonic for his own soul.

After Saint Poetry and Gulu discussed in a low voice for a while, they decided that each would pay 2500 Soul Coins. Even if they spent money today, they had to get this matter done. They were really tossed around by the Candle Woman projection to the point of being unable to bear it.

【Prompt: You received 5000 Soul Coins.】

Having received the reward, Su Xiao certainly wouldn't default on the debt. He said: "If it were the Candle Woman's main body invading, you would already be dead. If it's just a projection, eating this before going to bed will solve it."

Su Xiao threw a medicine bottle to Gulu. Gulu caught it and smelled it. After all, this was something she bought for 2500 Soul Coins.

Before Gulu and Saint Poetry could ask, Su Xiao continued: "The Candle Woman projection invades your dreams, not your consciousness space. Otherwise, you would have already had soul-level deformation, so eating some sleeping pills to enter deep sleep is fine."

"?"

Gulu, who was studying the medicine bottle in her hand, suddenly looked up. She seemed to have heard the word "sleeping pills" just now. She asked a bit uncertainly:

"The two of us spent 5000 Soul Coins to buy, is just sleeping pills?"

"No."

Su Xiao's "no" made Gulu and Saint Poetry feel relieved in their hearts. No one wanted to be a sucker.

"What you bought are strong sleeping pills, which concentrate a lot of high-end technology inside. More specifically... you wouldn't understand even if I said it."

After saying that, Su Xiao gave Baja a look, signaling to send the guests away. He couldn't make it up anymore.

"What kind of high-end technology is it? Tell me to make me feel balanced. Hey, don't push me..."

Amidst Gulu's shouting, the wooden door closed with a bang. After Gulu and Saint Poetry fought with Baja for a few minutes outside the door, they really couldn't scold him, so they could only leave angrily.

Su Xiao was just about to continue meditating when a rush of knocking on the door reached his ears. He thought it was Gulu returning. After Xiang Bubu opened the door, he found it was the Mushroom Prophet.

The Mushroom Prophet walked into the room, looking hesitant. Seeing this, Su Xiao frowned. He was never wishy-washy, nor did he like seeing others being wishy-washy, so he said directly: "Speak."

"Hey, don't say it so ugly, I'm a bit melancholy."

The Mushroom Prophet sighed and sat opposite Su Xiao at a low table. It hesitated for a long time before taking out a letter.

"I didn't expect that Elf King Kerenwei would trust me so much. Maybe it's because of the relationship between me and his father."

The Mushroom Prophet put the letter on the table. After Su Xiao opened it, he found it was a personal letter from Elf King Kerenwei. He had many impressions of this Elf King, such as the other party being an old schemer, and his preference for women, marrying more than a hundred wives, and raising at least several hundred women without formal titles.

Previously, it was Su Xiao who cut down the Elf King Kerenwei who was about to deform in the palace.

Su Xiao opened the folded letter and began to read the content:

"Respected Mushroom Prophet, I am Kerenwei. I am very sorry. Our relationship has always been discordant. This may be because when I was young, I was very curious about whether I could chop a piece of mushroom from your body to stew soup, and after I went to practice it, I was caught by my father and finally hung up and beaten to half-death."

"You know, my favorite food is mushrooms. Hmm, considering your mood, I won't describe the wonderful taste of mushroom soup."

"Back to the topic, if you receive this letter, it means I am already dead. This letter was written by my remnant soul, that is, a letter written after my death. Don't try to save my life. I can feel that my soul also has deformation. After writing this letter, I will use my last strength to shatter my remnant soul."

"My Elf race was originally just a small tribe in the borderlands, like a green leaf in a flood, insignificant. But the First Elf King Bolai Arond forced this green leaf to take root and sprout, taking root in the silt at the bottom of the flood, growing into a towering tree, standing in the flood for a thousand years."

"For a thousand years, this giant tree has produced countless green leaves and buds, carrying the joys and sorrows of the Elf race for generations, the rise and fall of generations."

"And now, the roots of this giant tree rooted in the silt have rotted into dregs, and the whole giant tree has collapsed. This is the fate that my Elf race is destined to welcome, and it is also the disaster buried when that green leaf was forced to take root. Everything is born because of the Abyss and destroyed because of the Abyss. This is very fair."

"My Elf race has been glorious for a thousand years and should not leave behind disasters. Bei City will become a place of disaster. Water-Silt Blood has infected everything in Bei City. This is a mess left by the Elf race and should be solved by the Elf race."

"During my lifetime, I chose 795 female Elves with pure bloodlines and married them or established relationships with them, letting them give birth to many descendants. After these descendants were born, they would be sent to the 'Hunting Ground.' They were taught combat knowledge, enjoyed the best resources, and underwent cruel selection. The standouts among them might not be the strongest, but they must be the most capable of bearing the power of the Abyss after deformation."

"I spent my whole life creating this crown. Mushroom Prophet, let my most excellent descendant wear this crown, and use themselves as a container to seal the root of the disaster. This is the pride of my Elf race."

"Mushroom Prophet, after finding my most excellent descendant, don't go to the Great Ruins immediately. I have handed the key to the 'Earth Gate' to the Law-Breaker of Shadow, Kuku Lin Bai Ye. His purpose is to find the 'Talent Awakening Device,' which will inevitably attack the palace and open the passage to the Great Ruins. You just need to wait for everything to calm down before heading to the Great Ruins."

"Last Elf King Kerenwei, left."

Su Xiao put down the letter in his hand. This was the backup plan left by Elf King Kerenwei, and it was also the pride of the Elf race. The pride of the Elf race wasn't in words or expressions, but in the heart. Even if the whole race was destroyed, they had to leave a backup plan in advance so that Bei City wouldn't become a place of disaster, becoming the only impression of the Elf race for later generations.

Thinking about it, when Elf King Kerenwei first ascended the throne, he must have anticipated that the Elf race's luck was coming to an end and would develop into today's situation.

Elf King Kerenwei married more than a hundred wives and had more than five hundred lovers. This didn't seem to be a preference for women, but purely wanting to leave more descendants.

Su Xiao estimated that Elf King Kerenwei should have been absorbing the power of the Abyss after deformation in large quantities a long time ago, so that he could adapt, and then leave descendants, letting the descendants contain the power of the Abyss after deformation as soon as they were born, thereby producing natural resistance.

To ensure this, the Elf race specifically looked for female Elves with pure enough bloodlines who hadn't been eroded by the power of the Abyss. One must know that such Elves were very rare, and there might only be one or two in ten thousand people.

How the previous Elf Kings were, Su Xiao didn't know, but both the first and the last were quite ruthless. Kerenwei created a container with himself, and then let his descendants serve as containers. The purpose had nothing to do with interests, just not wanting the impression of the Elf race to become those ugly mermaid monsters in Bei City after the Elf race perished.

【Prompt: You have read the last letter of Elf King Kerenwei.】

【You have triggered the hidden mission: Path of Destiny.】

【Hidden Mission: Path of Destiny.】

Difficulty Level: Lv. 79

Mission Introduction: Find the Child of Destiny and bring them to the Great Ruins.

Mission Deadline: 2 natural days.

Mission Reward: Elf race unique Holy Spirit-level set treasure chest (6/6 set).

Mission Penalty 1: If the Child of Destiny dies, there is

Task Penalty 2: If the task time limit is exceeded, you will be forcibly executed.

……

This task does not conflict with Su Xiao's destination, and furthermore, it is not a protection-type task. If the "Child of Fate" dies, he will just treat it as if he never received the task. However, if he succeeds, a Holy Spirit-level 6/6 set—which is also unique to the Elf race of this world—would be a significant gain, even if Su Xiao cannot use it himself, he can sell it.

"Bai Ye, did you trigger a task?"

The Mushroom Prophet spoke tentatively; this old fellow coming here was actually for this very purpose.

"Mm."

"Then……"

The Mushroom Prophet took out a black crown and pushed it toward Su Xiao.

Most of the plans laid out by the Elf King Cromwell were feasible, except for the miscalculation of exactly how dangerous Bei City was.

In the Mushroom Prophet's view, if the Elf race truly wanted to resolve everything at hand, having the Child of Fate go deep into Bei City together with Su Xiao, Wood, Sin Abyss, and Caesar would be the best choice.

However, the Mushroom Prophet also knew that without sufficient profit-driven incentives, Su Xiao and the others would not add an outsider to their team. Only if a task could be triggered and there were gains would it be possible to let the descendant left behind by Cromwell—the vessel—join the team.

"Trying it out is fine; if that vessel dies, I have no losses."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the Mushroom Prophet nodded, stood up, and left.

It can only be said that this old fellow is very wicked. It was afraid that the Elf King Cromwell had set a trap, so it played a card of diverting the disaster. It felt that even if the Elf King Cromwell had truly left behind some contingency, he would be no match for the four of them: Su Xiao, Wood, Sin Abyss, and Caesar.

The former is a dead old schemer, while the latter are a group of living old schemers; how can they compare?

Su Xiao went out and found Caesar, then sought out Aiduoer.

"Wh…what? You want me to go deep into Bei City with you guys?!"

Aiduoer's voice cracked. When she first heard the news, she almost sat on the ground with 'joy'. It wasn't that she lacked the courage to explore Bei City, but she didn't dare to go deep into Bei City with a group of old schemers; that was simply 'doing a 360° inverted, spiraling, lightning-style death wish'.

"As a healing-type, we need you."

Bahar's words made Aiduoer's expression look slightly desperate; she was just an amateur healing-type, with her main abilities in long-range energy manipulation.

As for why she hadn't made a move, Aiduoer had actually wanted to volunteer herself earlier to improve her status in the squad, but after witnessing Su Xiao's Blood Gun ability, she chose to hide her own abilities to avoid embarrassing herself.

Aiduoer didn't want to either, but she felt that the power of her ultimate move was similar to the power of a single blood gun shot by Su Xiao.

Initially, Aiduoer still held onto a fluke, thinking that the blood gun was one of Su Xiao's ultimate abilities and had a long cooldown after use, until one time, when she witnessed Su Xiao construct dozens of blood guns simultaneously, she felt terrible.

It was precisely because of this that Aiduoer was tempted by the 【Angel's Fighting Spirit】 that Su Xiao offered to exchange. If she could obtain the 【Angel's Fighting Spirit】, she would undergo a transformation akin to a stat reset. Afterward, she would be an Eighth-Tier super healer who would also gain combat power corresponding to her healing output—able to fight and heal.

"How about this, can I pre-advance the "Angel's Fighting Spirit"? If I can use that thing, my ability system will undergo a transformation. Imagine, you get an Eighth-Tier super healer teammate; how good is that? How about it? My proposal is pretty good, right?"

"Sure."

Su Xiao took out the 【Angel's Fighting Spirit】, held it in his palm, and wore a kind smile.

Aiduoer shivered, changed her tone from just a moment ago, and said, "Hmph, I was just testing you. Before the cooperation is completed, I won't take the reward. My noble character doesn't allow me to do that."

"……"

Su Xiao moved his hand away from the hilt of his blade, and Aiduoer, seeing this from the corner of her eye, breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Xiao, along with Caesar, Aiduoer, Xiang Bubu Wang, and Bahar, left the Mushroom Village. According to the address left in the letter, the "Hunting Ground" was located underground. It was almost like a small underground city, and its only purpose was to select the final vessel.

Not long after Su Xiao left the Mushroom Village, he saw two people walking from afar: Wood and Sin Abyss.

"Going to Bei City now?"

Sin Abyss spoke. Judging by his expression, this guy had gained quite a bit in the Soul Arena.

"First, we need to find someone. The situation is like this……"

Bahar explained the situation to Wood and Sin Abyss. Su Xiao attempted to share the task, but unfortunately, Wood and Sin Abyss did not have the Paradise Brand and could not accept the task.

The "Hunting Ground" was not far from the Mushroom Village. After more than an hour, the group arrived at the area where the "Hunting Ground" was located. The scene before their eyes was filled with jagged rocks, and they did not see the entrance described.

"Over here."

Caesar waved from not far away. After Su Xiao and the others approached, they saw an underground passage that had just been opened.

Steps led downward, the passage was pitch black, and a ground wind blew from within, carrying a smell of earth and a hint of rot.

Ding~

Su Xiao threw out a ring. The ring rolled down the steps, and each time it landed, it spread a strange sound wave, like ripples spreading in water.

Just as the ring was about to roll into the darkness, a slightly thin hand reached out from the darkness and caught the ring.

"Is it Father?"

A clear voice came from the darkness. Looking into the darkness, one could only see a pair of bright golden pupils. Within these pupils were flocculent darkness, dense and heavy.

"Your father is dead."

Su Xiao spoke.

"Is that so? Thank you for coming to find me. Is it time for me to fulfill my mission?"

"Yes."

"I am ready."

The Child of Fate walked out of the darkness. His appearance was delicate, he was draped in a large piece of tattered cloth, he carried a deep red large bow on his back, and an Elven curved blade hung at his waist. His gaze was very clear; this was not a disguise, but a clarity from the bottom of his heart.

Bahar asked, "Are there others in the Hunting Ground?"

"No more, they are all here."

The Child of Fate pressed one hand to his own chest, the location of his heart. The meaning behind this was unknown, and it was unclear whether it was something he kept in his heart or if he had absorbed the bloodline power.

As the Child of Fate walked out of the passage and passed through a layer of barrier, a roar came from underground; the Hunting Ground collapsed. There was no longer any meaning for this place to continue existing.

"My name is Yuer, and I am 18 years old this year."

The Child of Fate, Yuer, said with a smile. In reality, he lied; this was just a 17-year-old boy.

Without further ado, Su Xiao's group changed their direction and headed straight for Bei City. Just as they set off, the Child of Fate, Yuer, plucked a handful of grass from the ground and let out a "holy crap."

Seeing this, Bahar asked with slight surprise: "Do you usually eat grass?"

"No, it's just that I've never seen such vivid colors before. There are no colors in the Hunting Ground. So the world is so rich and colorful. It's a pity I still have a mission to complete."

The Child of Fate, Yuer, took a bite of the grass in his hand; it was bitter and astringent. He frowned and spat out green saliva mixed with grass residue. This child was too honest, eating a big mouthful directly.

The journey was silent. By around three in the afternoon, the sky was already dim; this was due to approaching Bei City.

Looking from afar, the sky above Bei City was dark, visibility within the city was low, blackish water vapor swirled, and there were faint, dull roars drifting along with the swirling water vapor.

All the buildings in Bei City were parasitized by layers of barnacles. The entire Bei City looked as if it had been dragged into the deep sea for ten thousand years before returning to this place.

On the front side of Bei City stood a towering wall, built from the shells of various scallops, and within it, one could still see the bones of the Elf race, with skulls being particularly prominent.

Su Xiao, Wood, Sin Abyss, and Caesar all stopped. According to the previous plan, Caesar would act independently after entering the city; even for him, he could not maintain the human-jar fusion state forever.

Su Xiao looked at the Child of Fate, Yuer, and Aiduoer. Bringing the two of them here—the former was a cannon fodder who could fight well, and the latter was a cannon fodder who could run fast—it was that simple.

Therefore, after entering Bei City, it would still be the cooperation of the good teammate trio.

"Cough."

Sin Abyss coughed lightly, attracting the attention of Su Xiao and Wood. He said, "Let's agree on this: when we encounter danger, we must face it actively and cooperate proactively."

"Okay."

"No problem."

Su Xiao and Wood answered with unusual crispness, which left the Child of Fate, Yuer, looking confused. He had instinctively felt that Su Xiao, Wood, and Sin Abyss were not good people, but now it seemed these three powerhouses were very united. Yuer reflected on his own judgment of a person's character based on their aura.

"This time, we share the blessings and the hardships!"

Sin Abyss's tone was firm. The reason this scoundrel said this was to try and fool Su Xiao and Wood. Even if he could make Su Xiao and Wood believe him just a little bit, at a critical moment, Sin Abyss could run a few steps ahead—a huge profit.

"Miss Aiduoer, our squad is truly united."

Yuer spoke. Aiduoer tilted her head and looked at him suspiciously, completely failing to understand what he was talking about.

Just then, a voice came from the entrance of Bei City.

"Pah! Bad luck. Don't look for a perception-type next time. Once you enter a high-risk area, unless it's that kind of super reliable perception-type, the others are just giving away free kills."

"Indeed."

"Let's go. Rest for the night and continue tomorrow."

A total of nine participants walked over, all of them violators. This group hadn't walked many steps before they saw Su Xiao and the others.

The good teammate trio had one thing in common: before making a move to kill an enemy, they would try their best to find a reason. As the saying goes, with reason, one can travel anywhere under heaven.

Among the nine people opposite, a bald, burly man coldly sized up Su Xiao and the others. When he saw Su Xiao, their eyes met, and Su Xiao suddenly asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

"Hm?"

The bald man's gaze was puzzled.

"Bai Ye, he is memorizing your appearance."

Wood spoke.

"That's right, he's memorizing your appearance, then he'll memorize your aura, and finally, he'll look for an opportunity to ambush and surround us. You nine, we have no grudges with you, why do you want to harm us? You are all villains."

Sin Abyss's line, "You are all villains," truly stunned the nine violators opposite. One of the women with a ponytail even wanted to raise her hand to explain.

"Aha, they're about to make a move!"

Sin Abyss made a false accusation.

"Ah, no."

The woman with the ponytail quickly lowered her hand. She vaguely sensed that the three people in front were all monster-level.

"Ah!"

'Blood flowers' burst out on Caesar's head. He let out a miserable scream, lay straight on the ground, kicked his legs, and stopped moving.

"That woman used a hidden weapon to kill Caesar!"

Bahar shouted in 'grief and indignation'.

"I didn't!"

The woman with the ponytail opposite was completely stunned. She never expected to encounter a scammer in the Tree-Born World.

"Kill them."

Sin Abyss shouted. Black tentacles emerged from his sleeves, Su Xiao drew his blade, Wood took off the black gloves on his hands, and the Child of Fate, Yuer, after looking at Caesar who was 'miserably dead' on the ground, pulled off the large bow on his back.
