Chapter 3473: The Gradually Autistic Assassin
"Abundant Water Room," the sky was cloudless, and the breeze made the water surface sparkle.
The location where Su Xiao and the Gray Gentleman fought to the death could not be considered within the Dark Domain, but after passing the Dark Domain, it was the "Abundant Water Room" behind the fog wall.
This place originally imprisoned an abyss-born creature. As the abyss power in the Dark Domain was devoured, this abyss-born creature was also indirectly devoured by the Gray Gentleman, and the chain reaction caused the fog wall seal of the "Abundant Water Room" to open.
Su Xiao guessed that that abyss-born creature was the black shadow the Gray Gentleman finally summoned. Fortunately, that abyss-born creature dissipated along with the Gray Gentleman being slashed.
Su Xiao activated his Law-Breaker talent: Hunting Shadow. The next second, a source energy about to dissipate surged from the surroundings. If no one ingested it, these source energies would soon merge into the world, that is, return to nature.
A list appeared in Su Xiao's line of sight. His Hunting Shadow ability effect was simple and rough. After killing the enemy, he could seize the enemy's ability. There were two ways to handle the seized ability.
1. Use Qing Gang Ying energy to solidify it into a crystal card, sealing this skill. When needed, this crystal card could be used once.
2. After seizing the ability, use the Devouring Core to devour the ability and convert it into soul energy, stored for improving Qing Gang Ying and Qing Ying Wang.
Su Xiao didn't hesitate and directly chose to devour the Gray Gentleman's most core ability "Puppet Master" with the Devouring Core.
Soon, the source energy ingested in the Devouring Core was converted into soul energy, which was then stored. The soul energy reserve reached: 172%.
You know, it would take 172 Soul Crystals (Complete) to convert so much soul energy. Now it seems that it is more reliable to ingest source energy by killing enemies and then convert it into soul energy.
And Su Xiao found that seizing human units or human-like units, the source energy seized was not much. Seizing that kind of large-sized beast-like strong enemy, or dragon-like strong enemy, the soul energy obtained would definitely be surprisingly much.
There was another problem. The Hunting Shadow ability was now only an S-level talent. After devouring an ability once, it needed to "digest" for a period of time, that is, it couldn't eat too fiercely. This was not a problem. Later, when there was an opportunity to upgrade this ability to SSS-level, this problem could be solved.
Letting Baja bury the Gray Gentleman, Su Xiao came to the entrance of the "Abundant Water Room." Following the stone steps going down, he returned to the Dark Domain.
Getting rid of the Gray Gentleman made Su Xiao feel much more relaxed, but he didn't fully relax. The Gray Gentleman's amazing plan before not only highlighted that this strong enemy was difficult to deal with, but also revealed another problem: the threat of the Arcane Eternal Star to himself was getting bigger and bigger.
The "Dawn Paradise Revival Plan" prepared by the Gray Gentleman, not to mention anything else, required a lot of resources. Not to mention the various layouts in the early stage, as well as the consumption of preparing various required items, just the "tickets" to the Tree-Born World for the Qiyuezhe who entered this world was a very amazing expense.
To enter the Tree-Born World, one needs to reach the top ten in the Tree-Born Arena at the Seventh Tier. This will definitely get a ticket. The top fifty have a certain probability of getting a ticket.
This Tree-Born World opening, a total of nearly 1,300 participants entered, of which more than 95% of the rule-breakers entered with "pirated tickets."
The "pirated tickets" were provided by the Gray Gentleman. Su Xiao really didn't believe that the Gray Gentleman could produce "pirated tickets" notarized by the Void Tree without paying equivalent resources.
Inferring this, for the Gray Gentleman to produce these "pirated tickets," he must pay a large sum of resources. Such an exaggerated amount of resources required, did the Gray Gentleman pay out of his own pocket?
No, the Gray Gentleman was not that stupid. He pulled in a sponsor who could white-pimp, the Arcane Eternal Star.
Whether it was this sum of resources or the deposit paid to the rule-breakers after entering the Tree-Born World, they were all sponsorships the Gray Gentleman obtained from the Arcane Eternal Star.
The Arcane Eternal Star side of course knew that the Gray Gentleman wanted to white-pimp, but after learning about the opponent's core plan, the Arcane Eternal Star was quite moved. They had long been greedy for the unique resources produced by the Paradise faction.
This time, just investing, the Arcane Eternal Star of course would not miss it. As the strongest hegemony force in the Void and having the Black Maple Tree, the Arcane Eternal Star was least short of money.
The Gray Gentleman was indeed difficult to deal with, but the capital behind the opponent this time, the Arcane Eternal Star, was Su Xiao's biggest enemy. Without that capital support, even if the Gray Gentleman had more ability, it would be difficult to support this grand plan alone.
Su Xiao was very puzzled about one thing. Why hadn't the Crow Woman sent by the Arcane Eternal Star come to find him?
If the opponent used assassination means, even with Su Xiao's current strength, it was possible for the opponent to succeed in assassination. The comprehensive combat power of the Crow Woman could be judged as a hegemon unit, and her lethality would soar if she killed the enemy by assassination.
Could it be that there was a conflict between the Arcane Eternal Star and the Crow Woman? Leading to the Crow Woman temporarily turning against them and abandoning the assassination plan?
In fact, Su Xiao misunderstood. The Crow Woman had always been dutiful. After entering the Tree-Born World, the Crow Woman entered assassination mode. She made up her mind that she would not be calculated by Su Xiao this time.
As the saying goes, fate is wonderful. After entering the Tree-Born World, the Crow Woman encountered Xian Ji in the Cold Cemetery. The two had a common enemy and decided to cooperate. Xian Ji and others fought head-on, while the Crow Woman exerted her powerful assassination ability.
As the saying goes, things are unpredictable. Before the Crow Woman could make a move, she was poisoned by Su Xiao in the White Swamp until she doubted life.
The Crow Woman, who was poisoned until she doubted life, didn't give up. Later, she decided to join the Xian Ji team again. The last time should just be an accident.
Later, the Crow Woman arrived at Bay City and prepared for assassination. But when she was about to make a move, Su Xiao was actually assassinated first, which made the Crow Woman speechless. How could she encounter a peer?
When Su Xiao was assassinated at the main gate of the Palace, the Palace was like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed hard. As long as the Crow Woman didn't lose her mind, she wouldn't choose to make a move at that time.
As an assassin, a notorious assassin in the Void, she chose to endure temporarily. Finally, two days later, she waited for an opportunity again. The Elf King decided to hold a Kingdom Meeting to rule on who was "poisoning" in the underground water of Bay City between Su Xiao and the Priest.
This made the Crow Woman very satisfied. After the result came out, no matter which side won or lost, she could take the opportunity to assassinate. But, the result was completely beyond the Crow Woman's expectations. She saw the Priest, Xian Ji, and others being besieged, and Su Xiao drinking fine wine with the Elf King and the Five Royal Descendants on the viewing platform, appreciating the siege of Xian Ji and others.
This made the Crow Woman not dare to act rashly. She was not a fool, so she continued to endure and follow. A few days later, the Crow Woman found an opportunity again. She tracked Su Xiao to explore Bay City and rushed over immediately. Her idea was to backstab Su Xiao when he was fighting with a strong enemy.
Then the Crow Woman saw Su Xiao, Wood, Zui Yas, You Er, and Solomon traveling in a team in the Great Ruins. At that time, the Crow Woman faced a choice.
Go up and give it away, or endure temporarily. The Crow Woman chose the latter. This time, endure it first. Next time, definitely make a move next time.
After waiting for a period of time, the Crow Woman finally waited for the next time. She heard that Su Xiao was going to fight the Gray Gentleman to the death, and she was energized. Her idea was, wow, there's such a good thing?
The Crow Woman rushed to the battle location and monitored Su Xiao from afar, then witnessed Su Xiao throwing "Sun Pillars" into the Dawn Paradise, and the final "Sun Holy Sword" explosion. The Crow Woman's idea at that time was, should I retreat first? Next time, definitely next time.
On the way to retreat, the Crow Woman suddenly stopped. She condemned herself in her heart, how could she become so unswerving? Where did her determination to die go?
Thinking of these, the Crow Woman, holding the determination to die together, continued to track Su Xiao, wanting to fight Su Xiao to the death. Then she was "surprised" to find that Su Xiao seemed to have gone to the Jibei. Right now, the entire middle of the continent had turned into a super giant magma lake, and it was very difficult to cross.
This made the Crow Woman depressed enough to spit out a mouthful of old blood. She had decided to fight the enemy or die together, but she couldn't find the enemy. Her mentality collapsed.
Not to mention the assassin Crow Woman who was almost emotionless, Su Xiao walked in the Dark Domain, straight to a stone house in the most corner.
Stopping in front of the wooden door, Su Xiao sensed inside. The perception was shielded by this wooden door and building. The buildings in the Dark Domain were like this, being severely eroded by abyss energy.
Knock knock knock.
Su Xiao knocked on the door, and at the same time took out a metal thin piece and stuck it on his cheek below.
"Who is it."
A weak and sleepy voice came from inside.
"It's me."
"Ah?"
Bee inside the door was very puzzled. Once she was hungry and confused, she could be said to be unable to distinguish between humans and animals, and didn't recognize anyone.
"Have you eaten."
Su Xiao spoke in the Gray Gentleman's voice. Hearing him say this, the wooden door was immediately opened. In a flash of lightning, Su Xiao pulled the door open and punched Bee inside the door to the wall on the side of the room.
Before Bee could recover, she felt a hand pressing toward her face. The next second, the light and shadow in front of Bee flickered. When the spatial teleportation ended, she found that she was already sitting in a metal box, which looked like a large safe.
The viewing window of the large metal box was pulled open, and a big-headed person who looked like an alien peered inside. Bee, who had long been prepared to meet the enemy, gave the enemy a poke in the eye.
"Hey, damn! My eyes."
In the old-fashioned airplane, Baoluo covered his eyes and jumped in pain. After a while, he blinked his red eyes and let the hippo pilot set off, with the destination being the Reincarnation Paradise.
Inside the stone house in the Dark Domain, a blood-colored spatial mark on Su Xiao's palm gradually dissipated. The mission given to him by the Reincarnation Paradise was not to kill Bee, or rather, this person Bee was not important. What was important was the Dawn Paradise that chose to exist in Bee's brand because the remains were shattered.

Whether it was the last Paradise battle or this time, it was impossible to destroy the Dawn Paradise. Su Xiao didn't know the specific reason. The Paradise faction was "indestructible." Even if it was weakened to the extent of the Dawn Paradise, it was still "indestructible."
Although it was indestructible, if Bee was brought into the Reincarnation Paradise, it would be equivalent to the Dawn Paradise arriving in the Reincarnation Paradise. At that time, there would be no hope of turning over, and the hope of revival would be completely strangled.
Simply put, the Paradise faction cannot be sentenced to death, and there is nothing that can do the point of giving the Paradise faction the death penalty. Death penalty is not possible, but it can be sentenced to life imprisonment, just like the current situation of the Dawn Paradise.
【Prompt: You have completed the war mission: Strangle Dawn Again!】
【You will receive the following rewards.】
1. Origin Stone: World (1/5).
2. Type VII Quenching Mixture (After injecting this potion, your ** upper limit permanently increases maximum life value permanently increases by 31.5%, and maximum mana value permanently increases by 30%).
3. Iron Refining Invitation (Can be used after promoting to the Ninth Tier and the main attribute reaches 300 points. This is a highly rare item. If the Hunter wants to sell this item, it can only be sold to the Reincarnation Paradise, and the selling price is 6530 ounces of space-time power).
Warning: The Hunter can only use this item by himself or sell it to the Reincarnation Paradise. If the Hunter transfers, discards, etc., this item, you will receive a certain degree of punishment (Reincarnation Paradise reputation decreases, brand authorization level decreases, etc.).
4. Permanent free use right of the first to eighth floors of the Land of All Living Things.
The rewards were very generous. What made Su Xiao puzzled was why he could obtain the permanent free use right of the eighth floor of the Land of All Living Things? Before, the Reincarnation Paradise prompted that the Land of All Living Things only had seven floors.
Now it seems that it only opens to the seventh floor under normal circumstances, and the highest floor is the eighth floor. After all, this facility was snatched from the Dawn Paradise, and it was different from basic facilities like skill upgrade chambers.
Su Xiao had a feeling that among the gains obtained this time, the one with the highest value might be the permanent free use right of the eighth floor of the Land of All Living Things.
Storing all the obtained items, Su Xiao felt relaxed all over. Later, he only needed to handle the kill leaderboard, and all the goals of his trip would be completed.
Although the resources obtained this time were many, considering the preparation to master new technique passive abilities, a sense of inexplicable poverty rushed toward him. Every time he returned to the Reincarnation Paradise, his pockets would be empty after a few hours.
"Boss, Amu and Benny swam to the shore. What should we do next? Should we let them come to meet up."
Baja, with a bandage wrapped around its head, spoke, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked on the side.
"..."
Su Xiao considered it and decided to let Amu and Benny act freely on the East Sea side. By the time they came to meet up, this world progress would have long ended.
"Good, then I'll send a mail to Meow Benny."
Baja just wanted to smile mischievously, but didn't smile well, which affected its cracked skull, making it shiver in pain.
Su Xiao took out the ancient idol. He wanted to return to the Mushroom Village on the Southern Continent. Right now, the Qiyuezhe who were still alive were all on that side, and that was also the place to compete for the final ranking.
The ancient idol was activated, and Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Baja disappeared, returning to the Mushroom Village. At the same time, in the boundary area between the White Swamp and the Black Forest.
The Crow Woman ran at full speed. She had paid a heavy price this time to cross the magma lake and reach the Northern Continent, and then used various means to rush on the road. She wanted to track Su Xiao at the fastest speed. She estimated that Su Xiao, who had finished the battle with the Gray Gentleman, would definitely have a period of weakness, and this was her opportunity.
The wind whistled in her ears. The Crow Woman jumped between the withered trees in the White Swamp. Just at this moment, she suddenly stopped and took out a special "First Generation Finger Bone" from her arms. Through this thing, she sensed that Su Xiao was no longer in the Jibei, but appeared in the Far South.
Click click click~
The Crow Woman gripped the "First Generation Finger Bone" in her hand until it clicked. She was very curious about one thing, which was whether teleportation didn't cost money in the Tree-Born World? Why fly around the world.
"Despicable."
The Crow Woman's mentality was a bit collapsed. If she was killed by Su Xiao because of assassination failure, she would admit it, but this running around the world, she was really confused by being walked.
Just when the Crow Woman was so angry that she was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage, a large number of auras approached in the surroundings, which made her frown. These auras were not strong, but there were too many of them, and among them, there was an aura that was particularly difficult to provoke.
Many Mushroom People and Ghost race members walked from the surroundings. They all wore the same style of robes. The leader was the physical missionary Anderson.
"This lady, you have evil in your heart."
Anderson spoke gently. Hearing this, the Crow Woman's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something was wrong. She tentatively asked:
"What if there is evil?"
"Praise the sun with us, and the evil in your heart will be washed away by the sun."
"Okay, fine."
The corners of the Crow Woman's eyes twitched. She really hit evil this time.
In no time, the speechless Crow Woman followed Anderson and over a hundred thousand Mushroom People and Ghost race members to praise the sun together.
Southern Continent, Sunshine Wetland, Mushroom Village.
Experiencing the previous Apollo manufacturing incident, Mushroom Village didn't change. After all, it didn't explode during the manufacturing process, but at the entrance of Mushroom Village, someone didn't know who set up a wooden sign, on which was written "Manufacturing high-explosive explosives is prohibited here."
In the Mushroom Prophet's house, this place had returned to its original appearance, no longer doing "potion ticket" business. This business couldn't be done anymore. After the "tickets" were cracked, the price plummeted. In this kind of short-term business, vicious competition with each other was inevitable.
Su Xiao was drinking the mellow wine brewed by the Mushroom Prophet. This wine had a roasted nut flavor after entering the mouth, and the taste was wonderful.
After Su Xiao killed the Gray Gentleman, he obtained all the kill merit of the opponent, which made his kill merit reach 378 points, forced to be first. He checked the current ranking.
【Ranking has been refreshed, current ranking is as follows.】
First place: Bai Ye (Reincarnation Paradise), 378 points of kill merit.
Second place: Solomon (Reincarnation Paradise), 175 points of kill merit.
Third place: Enzo (Death Paradise), 165 points of kill merit.
Fourth place: Anonymous (Apocalypse Paradise), 73 points of kill merit.
Fifth place: Gulu (Reincarnation Paradise), 42 points of kill merit.
Except for Su Xiao's kill merit, the overall change was not big. Now most of the participants were staying in Mushroom Village. Even if they went to explore Bay City, they were traveling in teams, and various anti-tracking and escape means were very strong.
The number of participants had dropped below 100. Those who lived to now were either ten-thousand-year-old survivalists or had excellent abilities themselves. Therefore, subsequent ranking changes were difficult to have major changes.
But the problem right now was that Su Xiao didn't want to take the first place. The reward for the first place, 【Origin Magic Mirror】, had a not-low probability of being a daddy-level item. Most abyss products had a characteristic: how easy they were to use, the higher the price after use.
Therefore, the reward for the second place, 【Soul of Technique (High-Tier Technique Characteristic: Skill Scroll)】, was what Su Xiao wanted to obtain.
Suppressing kill merit and letting Solomon be first? Su Xiao felt this wouldn't work, because Solomon, that guy, was also likely not wanting to take first place. That guy didn't even want to get second or third place, but wanted to obtain the fourth place reward 【Dark Monarch: Inheritance Power (Undead/Dark Magic System Exclusive)】.
The value of treasure is sometimes determined by need. In Su Xiao's view, he could cooperate with Solomon right now to control the kill ranking to a certain extent.
At the current stage, the participants were almost all dead. The only person who could bring about changes was not Shui Ge ranked third, but the Anonymous ranked fourth.
Wanting to make the leaderboard into the desired shape, there was no need to negotiate with Shui Ge. From the kill merit obtained by the opponent, it could be seen that he wanted to compete for first place with Solomon.
This was a good thing. Su Xiao was not afraid of anyone competing for first place now. He was worried that others also knew the specific characteristics of abyss products.
After planning in his mind, Su Xiao had a strategy. As long as he cooperated with Solomon, and then the two joined forces to catch Anonymous, they could control the ranking.
As for trying to cooperate with Anonymous, as long as the other party was not crazy, he would not believe the words of Su Xiao and Solomon. The other party was now a walking 74 points of kill merit.
After catching Anonymous, before the final settlement, Su Xiao and Solomon would consume kill merit in the World Store, letting Enzo, that is, Shui Ge, be first, then Su Xiao second, Anonymous third, and Solomon drop to fourth.
In this way, Su Xiao would obtain 【Soul of Technique】, and Solomon would obtain 【Dark Monarch: Inheritance Power】.
How to find Anonymous was a problem. In this regard, Su Xiao chose to contact Caesar. Besides Caesar, the Mushroom Prophet could also be cooperated with again. The other party was now a "neutral NPC." In the hearts of the participants, its words had a certain credibility.
Out of the tree house, Su Xiao found Solomon in the small market. There were more materials on the opponent's stall. It seemed that he had not less harmed the "Fishman Brother" and "Silt People" in Bay City.
After Su Xiao briefly explained the situation to Solomon, the gaze of Solomon behind the stall was different. He pondered for a moment and said: "I think this matter is feasible."
Solomon rarely said six words at once, which showed how much he valued this matter.
Su Xiao contacted Caesar. He hesitated for a while, and finally chose to contact Gulu. In case the other party hid a Scarlet Card and made trouble at the last moment, that would be hard to bear. No matter what, Gulu was now fifth.
Half an hour later. The door of the Mushroom Prophet's house was locked. In the room, Su Xiao, Solomon, Caesar, Gulu, Mushroom Prophet, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Baja were all present, giving the tree house a different kind of popularity.
Su Xiao drafted a contract notarized by the Void Tree and showed it to Gulu. The content of this contract was that Su Xiao and Solomon each paid 500 soul coins, and then Gulu would keep eating melons and watching the show at fifth place in terms of ranking.
After Gulu confirmed that the contract was no problem, she chose to sign it. She was not afraid of signing a sell-body contract with Su Xiao. If she really signed it, she would go to the Tuanzhang to complain, saying that the Starry Sky Seat members bullied people, making her sign a sell-body contract.
Receiving 1000 soul coins, Gulu's mood was complicated. She had been pitted several times before, and finally saw the money back. It was not easy.
Getting Gulu done, Su Xiao began to discuss with Caesar, Mushroom Prophet, and Solomon how to control Anonymous. That guy was as slippery as a loach. In the World Contact Platform, he occasionally "literary fought" with Baja.
Solomon's proposal was simple and direct: track, then capture alive.
The three of Su Xiao didn't speak. The remaining time for this world progress was not much. To catch this guy who was as slippery as a loach, the difficulty was too high.
"Why don't we issue a mission to him."
Caesar said with a treacherous smile.
"You guys plan to let the Mushroom Prophet issue a mission to pit that Anonymous? No way. In this world, missions all need to be notarized by the Void Tree. Pitting missions can't pass notarization."
Gulu, who was eating ice cream, spoke.
Hearing this, Baja asked with a smile: "Who told you?"
"This is common sense, okay."
Gulu still firmly believed in her judgment.
Soon, the plan was finalized. First, create a gimmick through the World Contact Platform to fool Anonymous back, for example: "Due to the approaching end of world progress and the upheaval of the Tree-Born World, the Mushroom Prophet is preparing to sell off inventory materials at a discount, and then move away from the Tree-Born World."
No one was willing to miss such a good thing, not to mention that the Tree-Born World did have an upheaval. The middle part had turned into a magma lake, and it was normal for the Mushroom Prophet to move.
This news was released by the Mushroom Prophet itself. It was indeed preparing to sell off some goods recently to pay for a large travel expense to move. It didn't plan to stay in this place. Su Xiao and the Gray Gentleman's battle this time was really too scary.
The subsequent situation was simple. After Anonymous returned, Caesar would go up to touch porcelain, and then a side mission would be triggered, named "Old Friend."
The process of this mission was short and the rewards were generous. The process was: encounter Caesar by chance -> be blackmailed -> get key clues while being blackmailed -> go to see the Mushroom Prophet, intending to recover losses -> activate mission -> mission content: send fine wine to the old friend, help the Mushroom Prophet and the old friend reconcile.
The difficulty of this mission lay in tracking the location of the old friend. The reward for completing this mission was not giving real gold and silver directly. Anonymous was not stupid, so he would inevitably be suspicious.
The reward for this mission was very subtle. After completing the mission, one could obtain a high-discount item exchange right at the Mushroom Prophet's place, that is, exchange for items at a 60% discount in the item store opened by the Mushroom Prophet.
The most pitting part of this mission was that Caesar was the old friend in the mission. That is to say, Anonymous was picking up wine at the Mushroom Prophet's place, and then sending it to Caesar's location, which was basically equivalent to throwing himself into the net.
The way this mission was issued was very traditional, without any tricks, it was just the Mushroom Prophet issuing the "Old Friend Wine Delivery Mission."
"This kind of pitting mission, it's impossible to pass..."
Gulu's words were halfway through when she suddenly received a prompt.
【Prompt: The Mushroom Prophet has issued a personal side mission: Old Friend to you. This is a personal mission. Accept or not? This is a mission triggered by personal favorability. There is no penalty for giving up or failing on the way.】
Gulu's expression became solemn at once. She thought for a while, then grabbed the wine in front of the Mushroom Prophet and handed it to Caesar.
【Prompt: You have completed the personal side mission: Old Friend. You have obtained the corresponding reward.】
The reward for this mission was of course true. In principle, this was just a commission mission, but because of Caesar's joining, the variables in it were numerous.
For example, Caesar, who was the old friend in the mission, waited for Anonymous to deliver wine in an abandoned hall, but because the wine deliverer stepped into the hall with his left foot first, Caesar recalled the pain of his childhood, and sadness came from his heart, starting to tell his childhood experience, which was just a delay, and a Law-Breaker and an Undead Archmage happened to pass by nearby. ===== CHAPTER 3474 =====
