Chapter 3461

Before the main gate of Shell City, a battle was on the verge of breaking out. The nine rule-breakers opposite were no simple folk; realizing they could not avoid the fight, they took the initiative to prepare for the enemy.

The nine had the ability to enter Shell City to explore, so they were no pushovers. They did not stand close to one another; most rule-breakers were accustomed to acting alone, and this time coming to the Tree-Born World was an exception among exceptions.

The melee types were in front, and the ranged types were in the back. Even a squad without much tacit understanding would make such a formation. Among these nine, the bald, burly man and the ponytail woman were both melee types, while a short, hunchbacked man leaped back a few times and hid behind the others.

The others were accustomed to the hunchbacked man's sneaky behavior; it was like this inside Shell City. However, they did not notice that at this moment, the look in the hunchbacked man's eyes was unusual.

The hunchbacked man leaped to the back of the group, his hands tucked under his cloak, looking as if he were carrying his hands behind his back.

Ding—

A crisp sound of a pin being pulled came. The few people with their backs to the hunchbacked man did not pay it any mind. Inside Shell City, they had all witnessed the hunchbacked man's "compressed explosive bombs." Hearing the sound of the pin being pulled now, they only thought the hunchbacked man was about to throw a few "compressed explosive bombs" at the enemy. But two seconds passed, and they did not see any "compressed explosive bombs" thrown from behind, which made them realize something was wrong.

Boom!

A muffled sound spread out. Strangely, this muffled sound was particularly deafening when heard at close range, but not obvious from a hundred meters away. This was an improved ring-sound explosion, to avoid the loud noise attracting enemies from afar.

An impact filled with energy shrapnel struck from behind the bald, burly man and the others. They did not expect the hunchbacked man to have turned against them by means of a suicide explosion.

This was the terrifying aspect of the "Marrow-Parasite Worm." Just now, Su Xiao and the others were not only looking for a reason to start the war, but also using the cover of words to give Zuiyas a chance to initiate the team fight.

This move by Zuiyas to initiate the fight behind enemy lines was brilliant to the extreme. As soon as the fight started, he eliminated the opponent's strongest ranged type, and incidentally blew up a magic type and a healer type nearby. The enemy was left with only six people.

The explosion caused smoke and dust to surge everywhere. Su Xiao's crystal left arm blocked in front of him, and the long blade held in his right hand hummed lightly. Just as he was preparing to use "Blade Dao Blade · Blood Blade" to raid into the enemy crowd, and then use "Blade Dao Blade · Time" to suppress the six enemies, a figure rushed past near him. It was the Son of Destiny, Yuer.

Do not underestimate Yuer. His cultivation speed cannot be understood by common sense. The Elf King Krenwei and 795 pure-blooded female elves had a total of 5,192 offspring over the past few decades. These offspring had distorted Abyss power in their bodies as soon as they were born, which gave them three common characteristics.

1. Early intelligence. Children of three or four years old already had relatively perfect minds and could theoretically learn extraordinary knowledge initially. By the time they were over ten, they could master extraordinary abilities.

2. Super strong resistance to distorted Abyss power, as well as adaptability.

3. Same origin, same fate. They had the same father, and the energy in their bodies was the same, which made their soul wavelengths unimaginably close to each other.

This was the purpose of the Elf King Krenwei. His five thousand-plus offspring could "hunt" each other. In the "hunting ground," after these offspring killed each other, they could not only seize the other's soul power but also seize the other's abilities to strengthen themselves.

Because the abilities they mastered were all of the same type, their body energy was exactly the same, and their bloodlines were compatible with each other.

In layman's terms, this was thousands of small accounts "leveling up" at the same time. As the hunting continued, these thousands of small accounts merged into a full-level account of the Southern Territory controlled by a single consciousness. This final winner was exactly the Son of Destiny, Yuer.

Hunting, becoming stronger, continuing to hunt—this was what the Son of Destiny, Yuer, had been doing since he was fifteen, until the hunting ground was cleared. He knew that he had already carried the wishes of thousands of brothers, sisters, younger brothers, and younger sisters to become a qualified vessel. Next, it was just waiting for the moment to fulfill his mission to arrive.

In the spreading smoke and dust, the Son of Destiny, Yuer, rushed past not far from Su Xiao. Yuer habitually lowered his body, rushed forward a few steps, then rolled forward, simultaneously pulling down the dark red big bow on his back, kneeling on one knee, and nocking an arrow to draw the string.

Click, click, click—

At the same time the bowstring was drawn, the high-strength biological fiber made a sound that made people feel cold in their hearts. With such a powerful bow, the power of the arrow shot out must be terrifyingly unusual.

Yuer's pupils shrank. As he began to draw the power-shot arrow, the sharp tip of the arrow was aimed at the bald, burly man a few meters away.

Archers like Yuer are very rare. Other archers try their best to open up distance, but he is good—he rolls forward, fearing that he is too far from the enemy and the explosive power of the arrow is insufficient.

Don't look at the calmness on Yuer's slightly immature face; in fact, he was still a little nervous in his heart. This was his first time fighting enemies other than his brothers and sisters, plus he really didn't know whether he was strong or not. There was no reference object in the "hunting ground."

Click, click, click—

As Yuer drew the power-shot arrow, the locked-on bald, burly man was originally prepared to charge forward to interrupt the enemy's charging, but as soon as he had the movement to stand up, his scalp went numb. This was his perception warning him crazily; as long as he dared to move forward, he would be shot in the head in the next second.

Yuer's power-shot arrow did not need to complete charging to be fired; it could be fired the moment charging started, and it became stronger as charging continued.

"This guy!"

In the smoke and dust, the blood vessels on the bald, burly man's neck bulged. His expression became ferocious with terror. At this moment, he only felt his back go cold and his bladder swell.

Helpless, the bald, burly man could only bend his legs. As his lower limbs exerted force, with a boom, the stone slab floor where he was located collapsed. The bald, burly man leaped backward violently. He could only hope that after opening up the distance, he would have more time to dodge the power-shot arrow from the opposite side.

Yuer, half-kneeling on the ground, pressed his face against the bowstring. In his perspective, the enemy leaping backward was exuding visible fear. He was puzzled; in the past, when fighting with his brothers and sisters, they rarely had fear.

"Shoot to kill."

Yuer released the bowstring, and the power-shot arrow shot out. The arrow pierced through a layer of sonic boom, shaking away all the surrounding smoke and dust.

Bang!!

Wherever the power-shot arrow passed, the ground collapsed. The next instant, the bald, burly man was shot to pieces with a boom. That's right, shot to pieces; blood and flesh splattered around.

Killing the enemy with one arrow, Yuer himself was stunned. This enemy was too fragile. His "power-shot arrow" had only charged about 40%.

This point of Yuer's was quite similar to Su Xiao's. The big moves he developed himself had relatively simple names, such as "Power-Shot Arrow," "Leaping Arrow," "Triple Arrow," etc.

The ponytail woman not far away witnessed the bald, burly man being shot to pieces. Wearing a black soft metal combat suit, her blood almost ran cold. She made a move to retreat, but Yuer raided forward with a keen posture, simultaneously drawing the elf scimitar from his waist.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

After the elf scimitar and the energy sword clashed continuously, Yuer kicked out, relying on the reaction force accumulated by the slashes.

Bang!

Yuer kicked on the spine of the energy sword. The ponytail woman on the opposite side successfully blocked this kick and retreated in response.

But she forgot that Yuer was not a warrior; he was better at using a long bow.

After Yuer kicked out, the elf scimitar in his hand had already returned to its sheath. He rolled to the front left, half-knelt on the ground, and drew his bow to shoot arrows at high speed.

Bang, bang, bang—

Three arrows flew out one after another. While these arrows were still flying in mid-air, Yuer dragged out an afterimage, swept to the front right, and drew his bow again to shoot arrows continuously.

Bang, bang, bang—

Three more small air explosions were broken. After Yuer completed the second round of shooting, the three arrows he had just fired flew exactly to the front of the ponytail woman.

Yuer drew his bow again and began to accumulate a "power-shot arrow." After the enemy slashed away all six arrows he had just fired, he released the fingers holding the bowstring. Following a roar, the ponytail woman was unfortunately shot in the head.

When Yuer looked at the remaining four enemies, he found that two of them were covered in black tentacles and died on the spot, making people's scalps tingle. Another one was evenly distributed on the wall. That wall, covered with barnacles, was riddled with holes by the strong kinetic energy carried by the flesh and blood.

The last enemy knelt on the ground, his eyes rolled back, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth. A black mist figure was behind this person, pressing one hand on the top of this person's head. This scene made people instinctively think of soul-devouring and spirit-snatching.

"Wood, any discoveries?"

Zuiyas returned to human form. Hearing this, Wood in the devil incarnation state shook his head.

"No valuable memories. The memories about the Gray Gentleman had been tampered with by the priest. Most of the memories regarding Shell City were situations in the outer areas."

While Wood was speaking, he pulled with one hand, tearing the enemy's soul and body apart. A ghostly green flame ignited on the soul he grabbed in his hand. After this soul let out a chilling scream, it dissipated in the air.

After Wood got rid of the Abyss Jar, he was liberated. Don't think that carrying the Abyss Jar was a benefit to Wood; that was the treatment only Caesar, who could collude with the Abyss Jar, had.

During the time Wood carried the Abyss Jar, there were many abilities he dared not use, such as this soul-plundering ability. In the good teammate squad, Wood's soul strength was second only to Su Xiao's, after all, he was of the Devil race.

Yuer, whose face still had a childish look, re-evaluated Su Xiao and the other two in his heart. Although he didn't have much experience, he felt again that Su Xiao, Wood, and Zuiyas didn't look like good people. This wasn't because he had prejudice, but because of the abilities of these three people.

Zuiyas either made enemies full of tentacles or used tentacles to devour enemies.

Wood's soul-devouring and spirit-snatching in the devil incarnation state just now made it clear at a glance that this had nothing to do with the kind camp, no, it should be the neutral camp; it belonged to the typical evil camp.

As for Su Xiao, every time Yuer looked at Su Xiao, Yuer had an inexplicable feeling of palpitation. He seemed to see a huge blood beast behind Su Xiao, baring its fangs and grinning at him, yet Su Xiao's own expression was so calm.

At this moment, Yuer was sure that he had joined the evil camp. He scratched his head and didn't pay much attention to it. As long as he could complete his mission, it didn't matter what camp he joined. To him, the mission was higher than everything, including his own life.

Drip, drip—

Blood dripped along Yuer's index finger. He raised his hand to look at the wound on the back of his hand. This made him very dissatisfied with his response just now. In the first battle in the outside world, he was actually injured by his opponent. In the past, in the hunting ground, many of his brothers were good at using fierce poison; if they were slightly injured, they would be dead for sure.

"I really still have many shortcomings."

Yuer muttered in a low voice. Aiduoer, who was passing by, heard this sentence, and her self-esteem was hurt on the spot.

What Yuer and Aiduoer didn't notice was that Caesar, who was still lying on the ground playing dead just now, had already disappeared at this time.

The surrounding environment became increasingly damp and cold. Su Xiao looked up at the dim, dark sky. He arrived in front of the city wall built of various shells. This wall was nearly tens of meters high and looked black overall.

This kind of city wall surrounded the entire Shell City. Originally, there were no gaps, but this could not stop the participants. I don't know who it was, but they opened up a passage under the city wall here.

The passage was filled with faint, black-looking water vapor. Su Xiao took out two "Life Secret Medicines" and threw one to Aiduoer. As for Yuer, there was no need for the other party to inject this thing.

After Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Baha each injected a "Life Secret Medicine," the squad continued to set off. Zuiyas was in front, followed by Su Xiao and Wood, and behind were Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Aiduoer, with Baha and Yuer bringing up the rear.

Su Xiao brought Aiduoer to Shell City, not only to bring an extra cannon fodder, but also to prevent the other party from escaping. The other party was still a special overlord unit, worth 100 points of killing merit. The last point was because of Aiduoer's mysterious good luck.

Su Xiao didn't have much of a feeling before. After catching Aiduoer, he never provided protection, fully embodying the idea that life and death are determined by fate.

Before arriving at Shell City and brushing seven killing merit cards, Su Xiao felt that Aiduoer's survival rate in subsequent events was not high. What he didn't expect was that Aiduoer survived tenaciously.

Especially after Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang rescued Aiduoer from the underground prison, Su Xiao had a sense of surprise, wondering how this woman was still alive. His thought at the time was that Aiduoer had a problem, and if not handled well, she was an eye-line planted by the Gray Gentleman.

Until Aiduoer was idle before and drank a bottle of 【Life-Saving Spirit Medicine】 concocted by Caesar with a try-it-out attitude, she actually recovered 34.7% of her health. At that time, even Caesar was shocked; this was simply dog-shit luck.

Later, under Su Xiao's compulsion, Aiduoer cried and drank more than a dozen bottles of 【Life-Saving Spirit Medicine】. The lowest recovery amount reached 10.5%. This luck was very strong.

Caesar's 【Life-Saving Spirit Medicine】 was actually quite high-level. It contained ultra-trace amounts of "Space-Time Power Converter," which was why it could produce such large fluctuations in recovery. It could be said that every sip drunk was a challenge to fate.

At that time, Su Xiao thought it was someone under the Gray Gentleman causing trouble again, until he heard Aiduoer say that classic sentence, "Isn't it normal to open Immortal-level equipment from a Holy Spirit-level treasure chest?" After that, Su Xiao was sure that this Tianqi girl just had good luck and there were no other tricks. This was also the reason why Aiduoer was rich.

Although fate is elusive, it can be "scripted," for example, by pulling Aiduoer into the squad.

The current "Break of Dawn Squad" was already full. Su Xiao, Wood, Zuiyas, and Yuer were all in this team. The last person was naturally Aiduoer. Xiang Bubu and Baha were implicitly in the team and did not occupy a quota.

Everything was ready. Su Xiao walked into the passage under the city wall ahead. As soon as he touched the faint, black-looking water mist, he felt a slight stinging pain on his skin. The "Life Secret Medicine" injected into his body just now gradually took effect, making the stinging pain on his skin fade away.

Walking into Shell City, Su Xiao saw that all the buildings in the city were covered with barnacles, wet and smelling of sea fish, and the ground showed black.

The plan Su Xiao laid out before took effect. Selling a large number of Shell City "tickets" could not only make a lot of soul coins but also use the participants who came to Shell City to fish for benefits to share the pressure from Shell City.

Not to mention others, Solomon had killed to his heart's content. This guy summoned an undead army this morning to charge Shell City head-on, which resulted in more than 80% of the monsters in the front city area dying.

This is the terrifying aspect of the undead type, being able to create a legion flow in a short time. The undead army summoned by Solomon this morning had no less lethality than the Sun Legion Su Xiao developed on Ser Star. The disadvantage is that it cannot exist forever after development like the Sun Legion. The undead army summoned by Solomon only lasted for a few hours.

In the entire eighth tier, if a "ranking of contractors/hunters that other five-party paradise contractors least want to encounter in the world battle" were established, the Undead Girl would definitely rank first. This is simply a tumor-level figure in the world battle, completely beating the Death Paradise contractors who were never convinced for ten thousand years.

Solomon ranked second, and Su Xiao and the Black Demon hovered in third and fourth.

But if Su Xiao developed a legion flow, then he and the Undead Girl would be the two recognized tumors of the eighth-tier world battle, making people more autistic than the Black Demon and Solomon.

Shell City was cold and chilly. Su Xiao looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Bubu raised his head, meaning that he could perceive how many enemies were around through the aura, but because of the special environment here, the possibility of being noticed by the enemy was very high. It was fine in the front city area, but if they reached the back city area, they might "pull a train."

Su Xiao's gaze turned to Aiduoer. The other party was not only a second-rate healer, referred to as a second-rate nurse, but also a second-rate perception type. It could be said that Aiduoer knew a little bit of everything, but was not proficient in anything. She was a typical negative example. Actually, there was no way; she just wanted to live. What did she do wrong?

Aiduoer put her hands together. After perceiving for a moment, she whispered, "I perceive... it's very dangerous here."

"Hahaha, this fart is the same as talking to people."

Baha spoke. Aiduoer chose to swallow her anger, mainly because she couldn't beat them and couldn't scold them either.

According to the route in his memory, Su Xiao walked along the small alleys between the houses. Although it was as if it had been soaked in the deep sea for ten thousand years, the terrain didn't change much, only the alleys were much narrower than before.

The division of labor in the Break of Dawn Squad was actually very clear, as follows:

Zuiyas: Undead semi-tank + melee + corrosion + dangerous mechanism probing.

Su Xiao: Frontal assault + melee suppression + melee master + solo responsibility.

Wood: Weakening + control + intelligence gathering + group battle responsibility.

Yuer: Ranged + powerful output + ranged suppression.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang: Reconnaissance + infiltration + sabotage behind enemy lines.

Baha: Assassination + energy poison + core main force when Su Xiao makes a strategic retreat (space ability).

Aiduoer: Squad pendant + reserve cannon fodder.

After going deep into Shell City for more than forty minutes, Su Xiao heard an unusual sound. This area was rarely set foot in by participants, and the danger level began to soar.

Boom, boom, boom—

Heavy footsteps came. Su Xiao hid behind a small building and looked at the middle street, which was nearly ten meters wide. There were many fluorescent blue mucus on the street surface, as well as some crushed bones.

A monster about 9 meters tall, humanoid overall, walked on the street. A vertical eye grew on the front of its head, and the surface of its body was like flowing petroleum. Looking closely, these were black worms with great resilience, like wet and sticky leeches.

The monster's right arm was very long, already dragging on the ground, and its deformed sharp claws scratched the street, leaving a few traces. On its chest and abdomen, there was a huge circular mouth, which looked like a flower when opened.

This monster, known as the "Silt Man," walked aimlessly on the street. Seeing this thing, Su Xiao didn't have the slightest thought of fighting it. Such monsters were not only strong but also had various disgusting abilities. In addition, the gains after killing them were far from as rich as killing a boss-level existence.

Such monsters were likely to be in groups. At the moment, it seemed to be patrolling alone, but after a roar, it might attract seven or eight "Silt Men."

Su Xiao waited quietly for the "Silt Man" to walk away, and he continued to move toward the palace along the alleys or forks.

The passage leading to the Great Ruins was in the back courtyard of the palace. In Su Xiao's view, if he wanted to find the "Talent Awakening Device," more than 70% of the difficulties should be in the palace and the Great Ruins. As for the middle area of Shell City, although it was dangerous, it had a large area. Encountering many enemies would at most result in a strategic retreat. Although the "Silt Men" and "Fish Men" here were fierce, they would not chase someone to death.

One hour later.

Plop, plop—

Su Xiao stepped on the fluorescent blue mucus under his feet and walked in a sewer. As the back city area was a gathering place for the rich and power, the infrastructure was impeccable, and the sewer Su Xiao was walking in at this time led directly to the vicinity of the palace.

In the cramped sewer, the air was filled with a fishy smell. Su Xiao ignored this smell and continued to move forward. The probability of encountering enemies here was low, but once encountered, he had to face them head-on.

After walking for a few minutes, a wriggling reflective area ahead attracted Su Xiao's attention. Looking closely, it was a patch of wriggling translucent worms, the visual experience was explosive, and it would cause no small "damage" to the soul.

Click, click, click—

The crystal layer wrapped Su Xiao's two lower legs, and he continued to move forward. As for why Zuiyas wasn't in front, this guy was bringing up the rear. Entering this place, bringing up the rear was also a dangerous job. The one opening the path in front had to be the best fighter among the melee types.

To be safe, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was currently on the ground above, blending into the environment and moving forward side-by-side with Su Xiao and the others.

The touch under his feet was slippery. Su Xiao walked a long way and finally arrived at the scheduled location. He lifted the manhole cover and leaped back to the ground. Although the air quality was still not great, it was much better than below.

Ahead was the palace. He hadn't fought any monsters in Shell City all the way here, which again reflected the benefits of attracting many participants to this place.

Su Xiao leaped silently onto the wall of the palace courtyard. In the open front courtyard, there were many pools of fluorescent blue blood on the ground, which were obviously left by the "Elite Fish Men."

The gains from killing them were not low, and many participants risked coming here. The sewer route Su Xiao took just now was exchanged by Caesar from a participant for ten bottles of 【Life-Saving Spirit Medicine】. Looking at it now, it was really a bit unfair to that brother.

Su Xiao didn't plan to explore the front hall, middle hall, or back hall of the palace. He wanted to bypass from the side, arrive at the back courtyard of the palace, pass through the water mist area, and head to the semi-destroyed "Palace Council Hall."

That's right, the passage leading to the Great Ruins was inside the "Palace Council Hall." From the fact that the Elf King chose to set an ambush in the "Palace Council Hall" to surround and kill the priest and others, it could be seen that at that time, the Elf King was no longer particularly concerned about the "Talent Awakening Device" and the secrets of the Great Ruins.

Su Xiao leaped down from the wall and groped toward the back courtyard along the small path beside the palace hall. When he arrived at the back courtyard, he found that there were no enemies here. The water mist area, which he expected to be the most dangerous, was passed through very smoothly.

Arriving at the innermost part of the palace back courtyard, Su Xiao walked into the semi-destroyed "Palace Council Hall" and stopped in front of the wall inside the council hall.

Twisting the candlestick on the side, a metal door that fit perfectly with the wall slowly rose, and a passage appeared ahead.

Walking all the way here, it was so smooth that Su Xiao felt a faint uneasiness in his heart. He looked at the Holy Snake Guardian pendant tied to his wrist.

The Holy Snake inside the hollow gemstone had already turned into a snake ball, looking at Su Xiao with tears in its eyes, hoping Su Xiao would put it away.

Su Xiao didn't want the Holy Snake to explode either, so he put it away and looked at Zuiyas, meaning it was the other party's turn to scout the path in front.

"Can do."

Zuiyas walked in front, with Su Xiao and Wood behind. The passage was dim and long, and Su Xiao and the others could only walk in a single file.

After walking for a few minutes, Su Xiao exited the long corridor, and the surroundings suddenly opened up. He entered a space of about a thousand square meters. The walls here were piled up with rough rocks, rugged and ancient.

On the ceiling above, there was a large crack, as if something was squeezing out from these cracks. On the ground below the crack, there was a large area of erosion marks.

Seeing this scene, uneasiness surged in Su Xiao's heart. He instinctively wanted to turn around and retreat. Wood and Zuiyas on his left and right made the same movement at the same time; the three of them were almost perfectly synchronized.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Su Xiao, Wood, and Zuiyas all stopped. Su Xiao looked around, and the long corridor he had just come from had disappeared.

With a whoosh, flames rose in the fire basins on the wall a few meters above the ground, triggering a chain reaction, and the fire basins in this ancient hall were lit one after another.

The white firelight illuminated the place as bright as day. Su Xiao found that this ancient hall was completely sealed with no exit. The long corridor he had come from hadn't disappeared, but the walls on both sides of the corridor had silently closed, causing the corridor to close, leaving only a slit.

Located inside the ancient hall, rough breathing sounds came. Su Xiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a humanoid creature about five meters tall. Its muscles were like iron, its skin presented a dark black color, and its curly long hair was disheveled.

It had no eyes, and its mouth and nose were replaced by more than a dozen air holes. Its earlobes were large, and each hung a gold ring with incomprehensible imprints on it.

This humanoid creature wore no clothing or armor. It leaned toward male and asexual, and its crotch was flat. It was obviously inappropriate to distinguish such a high-level existence by gender. Strong, agile, like a perfect humanoid creature, this was the first feeling it gave people. Along with it was an invincible strength.

An invisible aura spread out with this humanoid creature as the center. The moment he saw this existence, Su Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

The Eye of the Gods floated behind Su Xiao, attempting to detect the humanoid's data.

【Comparing both sides' intelligence attributes... Due to the environment, only 8.53% of the enemy's data was detected.】

Name: Abyss Guardian

Category: Existence in the crevice between the Abyss and???.

Health: 150% (Blessed by the Source Abyss Power, health cap additionally increased by 50%)

Skill 10, Blind Pillar Man (Passive, X): After leaving the??? area, the Abyss Guardian will fall into a state of complete blindness, and its perception will be sealed. In contrast, it will gain dynamic hearing.????????

Skill 17:???

Seeing this data, Su Xiao had no thought of fighting it at all. This existence, known as the Abyss Guardian, was not a native of this world, but had strayed into this place because Shell City completed its distortion.

This was also the pitfall of the Tree-Born World. Although this world had a combat power cap, the cap was particularly vague. Theoretically, it was the eighth tier, but after higher-level existences strayed into this place, they were not immediately repelled like in worlds notarized by the Paradise.

Su Xiao held his breath. The good news at the moment was that the Abyss Guardian was indeed powerful, but it was in a state of blindness and no perception. As long as he didn't move or make a sound, he wouldn't be noticed by it.

Su Xiao observed the Abyss Guardian opposite. Tens of meters away, the Abyss Guardian sat there, seemingly in a deep sleep. Seeing this, Su Xiao gestured to Wood, Zuiyas, and Yuer to disperse, while Xiang Bubu, Baha, and Aiduoer remained in place.

Su Xiao slowly raised his left leg, while staring at the Abyss Guardian. Only after confirming that the other party had no reaction did he begin to move slowly laterally.

Without solving the Abyss Guardian, he couldn't pass through this place. As for retreating, Su Xiao had never thought about it. If he retreated once, he would habitually retreat when encountering difficulties in the future. At the moment, Wood and Zuiyas were also here, which was the best time to face the Abyss Guardian.

Su Xiao looked at the cracks on the ceiling. The Abyss Guardian should have crawled out from these cracks. He felt that wanting to kill the other party to get the treasure chest was too much of a foregone conclusion. Being able to drive the other party away could already be considered a victory.

For such means, Su Xiao still had some. The roots of the Lush Madness and the semi-melted fat wax, both of these should be able to drive away the Abyss Guardian.

Su Xiao moved forward step by step. Wood and Zuiyas nearby both held their breath. Just as Su Xiao approached within thirty meters of the Abyss Guardian, the Abyss Guardian's snoring suddenly stopped. It raised its head, as if looking at Su Xiao.

Bang!!!

A loud noise made Su Xiao's ears numb. He was originally prepared to activate Dragon Shadow Flash to evade, but at the critical moment, he found that the punch thrown by the Abyss Guardian was not aimed at him.

Located on the right, between Wood and Zuiyas, a fist print of a few meters in size appeared on the wall. For some reason, after the Abyss Guardian was awakened, it didn't say a word and aimed a punch at Wood from the air. I don't know what grudge the Devil race had with the Abyss Guardian.

Su Xiao immediately figured out why. It was the Abyss Jar. Even if Wood sent away the "wild father," because Wood had carried the Abyss Jar for a long time, it was inevitable that he would be tainted with the aura of the Abyss Jar.

The Abyss Guardian didn't have a grudge against the Devil race, but was prioritizing killing the former holder of the Abyss Jar.

Wood, who failed to completely dodge the punch from the air, half-knelt on the ground, and blood quickly soaked his purple-black suit.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Abyss Guardian seemed to have gone berserk, throwing punches around. The fist pressure blew away a section of tree roots that flew over.

The Abyss Guardian's attention shifted to Su Xiao. After all, Su Xiao had just thrown the roots of the Lush Madness at it. It pounced toward Su Xiao.

With a whoosh, the wind pressure came head-on, blowing Su Xiao's black hair backward. He felt that his whole body was perceiving stinging pain, as if he would be blasted to death on the spot in the next second.

A charcoal box appeared in Su Xiao's hand. He couldn't care about anything else. The Black King arm guard worn on his crystal left arm detached, and his hand grabbed the "Necronomicon" inside the charcoal box.

The moment Su Xiao grabbed the "Necronomicon" with his crystal left hand, the left side of his body began to go numb. What was even more terrifying was that a large number of crystal faces appeared on his left arm. These faces were very small, numbering in the thousands, as if they were all crying and wailing, vivid, terrifying, and eerie.

Su Xiao's pupils tightened slightly, and purely by feeling, he threw the "Necronomicon" in his hand forward.

Bang!

The "Necronomicon" broke through an air explosion. One could imagine how much strength Su Xiao used, and how tough this weird thing was.

Fortunately, the Abyss Guardian was not a speed type, and it was too close to Su Xiao. The "Necronomicon" had already flown in front of it. On this evil classic book made of human skin, alien existence skin, and god skin, translucent tentacles seemed to grow out.

The Abyss Guardian's aura stalled. It gave up pouncing on Su Xiao. At the critical moment, it waved its hand and slapped the "Necronomicon" away with a boom.

After the "Necronomicon" was slapped away, Su Xiao vaguely heard the sound of impact and a muffled groan.

"Roar!!"

The Abyss Guardian roared. Its right arm was covered with translucent tentacles. These tentacles twisted and grew wantonly. It saw it raise its left hand, forcibly tear off its own right arm, and smash the right arm toward Su Xiao.

Boom!

The thick right arm smashed into the wall behind Su Xiao. Su Xiao, who had lifted the crystal left arm, was already in a state of space penetration.

The Abyss Guardian roared at Su Xiao and slapped the ground continuously with one hand, as if... it was accusing Su Xiao of why he was shielding the previous holder of the Abyss Jar?

Su Xiao estimated that the Abyss Guardian might have seen a Law-Exterminator before, and the relationship with the Law-Exterminator was not hostile. But regardless, the situation had developed to this point. Su Xiao didn't have the ability to predict. His first reaction to seeing the Abyss Guardian was to drive away this dangerous existence.

Leaving behind a roar, the Abyss Guardian leaped and crawled into the crack on the ceiling. After a large amount of corrosive liquid scattered inside, the crack on the ceiling disappeared, and the Abyss Guardian's aura also disappeared.

Zuiyas, who had been eating melons and watching the show the whole time, breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly just now; he really didn't want to be beaten wrongly.

"Wood, what did you find?"

Zuiyas's words were only half said, and he couldn't continue.

At this time, Wood was sitting by the wall, leaning against the wall, his whole body's clothes soaked red with blood.

Time went back a few seconds. After Su Xiao threw out the "Necronomicon," the Abyss Guardian felt the danger, but it could no longer dodge, so it could only choose to slap the "Necronomicon" away.

The direction the Abyss Guardian chose to slap the "Necronomicon" away was not a blind choice, but toward the direction where Wood was. Today, it was determined to kill Wood.

Wood, who had just barely dodged the Abyss Guardian's punch, was half-kneeling on the ground to catch his breath. The injuries all over his body caused his body to go numb. Facing the "Necronomicon" flying head-on, he could only choose to jump sideways. However, the "Necronomicon" smashed into Wood's chest, and the impact slapped him against the wall.

At this moment, Wood felt that he was about to die. He sat by the wall and looked down at his chest. The "Necronomicon" came into his view. In this instant, his pupil flames stopped burning.

"No!!"

In Wood's shout, the "Necronomicon" sank into his chest. Strangely, he didn't have any physical changes. This was not a good thing; it meant that the "Necronomicon" had chosen Wood.

This thing was something the priest tried his best to get rid of. Its lethality in many aspects was on par with the Abyss Jar. No, it should be slightly stronger than the Abyss Jar in terms of devouring resources.

In Wood's shout, the "Necronomicon" completely disappeared. I don't know if it was because the "Necronomicon" merged into his chest, or because of the "excitement" of welcoming a new father, Wood couldn't catch his breath and fainted on the spot.

Heaven knows if those old devils of the Devil race would have their blood pressure soar and cause blood vessels to burst after knowing this. They just sent away the "wild father," and now they welcomed the "new father."
