Chapter 3558: Alchemical Creation

The surprise came very suddenly. Su Xiao had originally thought that the secret treasure hidden within this dead Black Maple Tree should be something closely related to it, but now it seemed that was not the case.

However, looking at it from another perspective, why would there be a fragment of the 【Origin Stone · World】 inside this Black Maple Tree? Was it an attempt to save the tree? Or perhaps the fragment of the 【Origin Stone · World】 could assist in the Black Maple Tree's growth?

Su Xiao observed the 【Origin Stone · World】 fragment in his hand. It was no different from the ones he had obtained before, just slightly larger in size. From another angle, if the fragment of the 【Origin Stone · World】 could truly assist the Black Maple Tree's growth, that would be based on the premise of not damaging the fragment itself.

In this way, after Su Xiao returned, he could certainly give it a try. Counting this piece, he had already obtained four fragments of the 【Origin Stone · World】. He was only one piece away from being able to synthesize a complete Origin Stone within the Samsara Paradise using his Hunter authority.

If the fragment of the 【Origin Stone · World】 only served to assist the Black Maple Tree's growth, that would be fine; the 【World Core (Fragment)】 he had obtained previously possessed this characteristic.

Forty-one 【World Core (Fragments)】 were inserted into the soil around the Black Maple Tree, using them as fertilizer for the tree. From ancient times to the present, whether in the Void, a Transcendent Origin World, or various Paradise factions, Su Xiao was the only one to do so.

This was both because Black Maple Trees were rare and because 【World Core (Fragments)】 were not exactly abundant either. This item could be considered a unique output of the Paradise factions; for other factions to strip this item out, the price paid would be dozens of times higher than the gain, if not more.

It was interesting to note that even though Su Xiao had fought his way here and obtained several world-class treasure chests, it was impossible to open so many 【World Core (Fragments)】 from them. For the vast majority of them, he had the Undead faction to thank.

Previously, Su Xiao had raised the purchase price of 【World Core (Fragments)】 a bit, from 690 Soul Coins each to 800. Presumably, many from the Undead faction would be coming to his door in the near future to sell 【World Core (Fragments)】.

To this, Su Xiao would not turn anyone away; for him, 【World Core (Fragments)】 were consumables.

If the fragment of the 【Origin Stone · World】 only served to assist the Black Maple Tree's growth, Su Xiao had no interest in placing it near the tree. But if this item could improve the quality of the Black Maple Tree and make its output more valuable, that would be a huge harvest.

Su Xiao looked at Zui Yasi not far away. At the other's speed, it would take at least several more hours of slow-motion walking to reach the base of the tree.

This put Su Xiao's mind at ease. Although "good teammates" could fight strong enemies together, there would be some "small tricks" during the loot-splitting phase—for instance, releasing Soul-Eater Insects, turning the other into a 2D image, or decapitating the other a few times. Such things did happen occasionally.

Splitting loot, after all, involved some "small tricks," which was normal. For now, there was no need to worry about Zui Yasi, that dog-thief, pulling any tricks, unless he wanted to be shot into a hedgehog by the Pale Hunters on the high walls.

Judging by the look in Zui Yasi's eyes, the other seemed to be saying: "Let go of that tree, let me handle it."

Ignoring Zui Yasi's psychological shadow, Su Xiao reached his hand back into the tree hole and soon touched a smooth, round sphere.

This item was about the size of a goose egg. After taking it out, Su Xiao discovered that it had a hollow structure; the outer layer was a circular, semi-transparent crystal of unknown texture, and inside was viscous darkness. At the center of this darkness, it was as if a patch of stars had been gathered and shrunk to the extreme.

The moment he saw this item, Su Xiao knew of its preciousness and ominous nature. Just by touching it, he felt it gradually eroding his inner heart.

If he were not a master of Sword Arts, combined with being a master of Close Quarters Combat and a master of Blood Spear—the three of which made his inner heart incomparably firm and powerful—he would have had his inner heart eroded and his sanity evaporated the moment he touched this item, turning into a monster covered in black tentacles.

Even so, he still could not touch this item for long, otherwise, his right arm would be the first to undergo metamorphosis toward the Old God system. Such an astonishing object—he hadn't even heard of it, let alone seen it.

Su Xiao believed this was an acquired creation, and it looked very much like an alchemical creation. Although with his level of Alchemy, he could not fully understand the structure of this item, the style of the Second Epoch Alchemical Civilization was relatively obvious.

A crystal layer clung to Su Xiao's right hand. He held the unknown "eerie object" in one hand and turned his gaze toward Zui Yasi. He finally understood Zui Yasi's purpose for coming to the Dead City and why the other had fought so hard at the Gray Stone Plaza.

At this moment, Zui Yasi's mentality had shattered on the spot, but he also felt a bit relieved. The item he wanted was in Su Xiao's hands, which was far better than not finding it or having it obtained by someone else. As for whether he would be fleeced later, that was an obvious matter.

After Su Xiao confirmed there was nothing else inside the Black Maple Tree, he did not destroy the tree but returned to the edge of the plaza along the winding path between the arrows.

He activated the Saint Song mark on his hand, which immediately attracted the attention of the Pale Hunters on the high walls. Zui Yasi, of course, would not miss such an opportunity and retreated with a few leaps.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Bone arrows nailed down one after another. Although Zui Yasi was good at seizing the timing, he was still hit by three arrows, which caused his aura to suddenly weaken significantly, showing the power of the Pale Hunters' bone arrows.

It was also fortunate that the Pale Hunters were neutral; otherwise, Su Xiao would have had difficulty moving an inch in the inner city, given the pressure already brought by the Dead People, Tree Eaters, and others.

"Bai Ye, name your price. And don't hold this thing directly; throw it on the ground first. It is said that it affects the inner heart of all living beings."

Zui Yasi spoke. He did not immediately pull out the bone arrows on his body; these things could not be pulled out yet, or it would cause severe soul damage. It could only be said that they were worthy of being hunters taught by the Saint Song Troupe.

"This is?"

Su Xiao pinched the unknown "eerie object" with his thumb and middle finger and tapped it with his index finger. This item looked hollow but was actually very heavy. Holding it felt like holding a vast expanse of darkness and the unknown in his hand. This feeling was both fear of the unknown and an irresistible temptation; it seemed as if something was calling to him.

!

Su Xiao's movements suddenly stopped. Without knowing when, he had already brought the sphere-like "eerie object" to his forehead, preparing to press it against his brow.

Scarlet tentacles wrapped around Su Xiao's right arm and neck. Half of an Ancient Mask was worn on the lower half of Su Xiao's face, and the scarlet tentacles were spreading from the mask, preventing Su Xiao from touching this "eerie object."

And opposite him, Zui Yasi's eyes turned pitch black, and black tentacles grew all over his body. These tentacles twisted unconsciously. At this moment, in Zui Yasi's eyes, there was nothing else left but this "eerie object."

Su Xiao let go. Five Spirit Shadow Threads were connected to the tips of his five fingers, with the other end wrapped around the "eerie object," picking it up and suspending it in mid-air.

"Owe you one."

Su Xiao spoke. This sentence was directed at the Ancient Mask. He narrowed his eyes; this incident was a lesson. Even though he had hunted many Old Gods and had done much research on the source power of Old Gods, his understanding of high-ranking Old Gods was still too little. The vigilance and awe for Old Gods could not be lost.

Due to various reasons, Su Xiao and "Daddy-level" artifacts mutually disliked each other, so the risks from this aspect were not high. Conversely, some eerie artifacts had nearly caused him to stumble twice—once when touching the "Dark Mask," and the other time was touching this "eerie object."

Although the initial erosion of this item on the inner heart was strong, Su Xiao, as a triple master, could resist it; otherwise, he would not have picked it up. But the danger of this item lay in the fact that it would gradually adapt to the holder's resistance. This process was not long, taking only a few seconds or minutes.

Even more dangerous was that as long as one touched this item, one would be attracted by it and try every means to keep it.

Most absurdly, as an Old God system user, and without even directly touching this item, Zui Yasi, who was several meters away, had been affected.

"Bring it here, give it... to me."

Zui Yasi spoke.

"Alright."

Su Xiao signaled for Zui Yasi to come and take it himself. The moment Zui Yasi approached, a "Thorn of Mercy" appeared in his hand and stabbed into Zui Yasi's shoulder.

Zui Yasi did not react at first, but in the next second, many mouths covered in sharp teeth split open on the black tentacles all over his body, emitting a roar carrying a black shockwave.

A moment later, Zui Yasi sat on the ground, his face covered in cold sweat. Seeing this, another "Thorn of Mercy" appeared in Su Xiao's hand.

"Enough, enough, stop. I'm sober now. Take that thing further away, and put away the crystal awl in your hand."

Hearing this, Su Xiao flicked his hand and threw the "eerie object" more than ten meters away. He was not worried about anyone snatching this item.

"This is?"

A faint black mist drifted from Su Xiao's right hand, and the feeling of being eroded by eerie power quickly disappeared.

"This is an astonishing creation of you alchemists."

Zui Yasi wiped the cold sweat from his face. Zui Yasi had actually discovered long ago that Su Xiao had mastered Alchemy; this was inevitable, as both the buff-type potions and the potent poisons had a relatively alchemist style.

"This item is called a 'Power Container' by alchemists. In the Meteorite Star, it is called the 'Endless Source.' Even the high and mighty Pluto wants to obtain it."

Zui Yasi did not intend to hide the matter of the "Endless Source." This was the premise for the multiple collaborations of the four "good teammates." Secondly, as an alchemist, Su Xiao would likely be able to pierce through lies in this regard.

According to Zui Yasi, his purpose for this trip was to find this item, and he was not dispatched by Pluto, which was very intriguing.

The origin of the "Endless Source" could be traced back to before the Law-Extinguishing Era. At that time, Law-Extinguishers were only powerful and did not reach the point of being the representative of an era. But even then, Law-Extinguishers were the mortal enemies of the Old Gods who sucked the world dry. Hunting Old Gods was one of the things Law-Extinguishers would do.

The subsequent grievances between the two sides lasted throughout the entire Law-Extinguishing Era. During this period, Law-Extinguishers killed many Old Gods. The problem was that Law-Extinguishers were not a Paradise faction, nor were they alchemists. The spoils they obtained from killing Old Gods were basically divine blood plus the extracted Old God "Source of Power."

The former could occasionally be used, and while the latter was more precious, it was of no use to Law-Extinguishers. Even more frustrating was that the extracted Old God "Source of Power" could not be preserved for long.

Things soon took a turn. In that era, the Second Epoch Alchemical Civilization had not yet perished. After the alchemists learned of this, they felt a deep heartache. Such good materials, and those Law-Extinguishers actually didn't know how to use them.

What happened afterward was a happy sight to see: the relationship between the Law-Extinguishing faction and the Second Epoch Alchemical Civilization, which had originally been somewhat mutually displeased, eased.

The alchemists meant that in the future, if they obtained any Old God "Source of Power," they would sell it to them. They had long had a concept, but it couldn't be realized because there was no Old God "Source of Power." As for the preservation problem of the Old God "Source of Power," this was not a problem at all for the alchemists.

Afterward, the Law-Extinguishers were shocked by the wealth of the alchemists, and the alchemists were shocked by the power of the Law-Extinguishers until their eyes widened.

By the end of the Second Epoch Alchemical Civilization, the alchemists had already stored a large amount of Old God "Source of Power" and finally began to perfect that concept.

The known intelligence was that the Second Epoch Alchemical Civilization did not perish because of this, but this matter significantly accelerated the speed of its demise.

The alchemists' concept clearly did not succeed, but the alchemical creation they made with numerous Old God "Source of Power" became a supreme treasure needed by the Old Gods.

This alchemical creation was precisely the "Endless Source." In the alchemists' conception, it was originally supposed to be the core of some powerful existence. To solve the compatibility problem, the "Endless Source" had strong adaptability.

For the Old Gods, if they obtained the "Endless Source" and implanted it into their divine body for a period of time, the adaptability of the "Endless Source" would be activated, thereby allowing the Old God-system source energy inside to transform into the source characteristics of that Old God.

In this way, the Old God could devour the massive amount of divine-system source energy within the "Endless Source," and this divine-system source energy had an extremely high degree of compatibility with the Old God system.

If an Old God devoured all the massive source energy within the "Endless Source," it would become extremely powerful.

Why the "Endless Source" was in the Dead City was unknown. Considering that the 【Sacred Splitter】 was commissioned by the Healing Church to be made by alchemists, the relationship between the Dark Continent and the alchemists should have been quite good. It was reasonable that before the alchemical civilization perished, they sent the "Endless Source" here.

It was said that because of the "Endless Source," the Meteorite Star had even gone to war with the Dark Continent. After both sides went to war and found they couldn't do anything to each other, it gradually subsided.

This made one can't help but suspect whether the Meteorite Star was one of the culprits for the Dark Continent's decline to its current state.

Putting aside who stored the "Endless Source" in the Black Maple Tree, Su Xiao was more interested in the reason why Zui Yasi came to find the "Endless Source."

The Old God system was not equal to Old Gods; there was a qualitative difference between the two. Just like how Zui Yasi was not an Old God, and he could never become an Old God. Even if one day he were more powerful than all Old Gods, he would still not be an Old God.

The "Endless Source" could only be used by Old Gods. Zui Yasi risking his life to go deep into the Dead City to find this item clearly did not conform to his own interests. Plus, he wasn't dispatched by Pluto this time, which was too intriguing.

"The high and mighty Supreme God position, surely it can't be sat on by one deity forever."

Zui Yasi suddenly said something that didn't make sense. Hearing this, a different look appeared in Su Xiao's eyes; things were actually developing in the direction he had anticipated.

The one sitting on the Supreme God position in the Meteorite Star was naturally Pluto, and this sentence "the Supreme God position surely can't be sat on by one deity forever" was clearly an attempt to pull Pluto down from the god position.

With Zui Yasi's current strength, saying such things was inevitably arrogant, but don't forget, behind Zui Yasi, there was a high-ranking Old God. Although that high-ranking Old God's strength was not as good as Pluto's, he also had a high status in the Meteorite Star.

Who Zui Yasi was helping to find the "Endless Source" this time was already obvious.

A long time ago, Su Xiao had offended Pluto, and not just once. Plus, he was a Law-Extinguisher; it was perfectly normal for Pluto to want to kill him.

"Bai Ye, name your price. You should know, I am very sincere."

Zui Yasi spoke. Hearing this, Su Xiao didn't speak. He pulled the Spirit Shadow Thread, and the "Endless Source" flew toward him.

Before Su Xiao grabbed the "Endless Source," thread-like mental power was woven into a seal and wrapped around his hand. He grabbed the "Endless Source" just like that.

Zui Yasi saw that after Su Xiao grabbed the "Endless Source," the external erosion of the "Endless Source" was suppressed.

This was an old trick of the Second Epoch alchemists, especially those old antiques who particularly liked to leave a "backdoor" in case their creations went out of control.

Possessing the Alchemical Secret Tome and being the most formal inheritor of knowledge of the Second Epoch Alchemical Civilization, Su Xiao naturally knew what kind of "backdoor" alchemists liked to leave.

"It's yours."

Su Xiao made a gesture to throw the "Endless Source" to Zui Yasi. Zui Yasi subconsciously leaned back; that look of "if you want to take the opportunity to kill me, just say so" was particularly obvious.

Su Xiao, a triple master + Heart Meditation Lv. 80, would have his inner heart eroded by the "Endless Source." In terms of inner firmness, among all systems, a Sword Art master rarely had rivals.

"Put it in here."

Zui Yasi took out a charred wooden box that looked like it had been burned by fire. After Su Xiao threw the "Endless Source" in, Zui Yasi immediately closed it. He had just turned to leave, but stopped with his brows tightly locked.

"How about you name a price? You just gave it to me like this, and I feel terrified in my heart."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. This wasn't an investment, but fishing. With his level of Alchemy, although he couldn't analyze the structure of the "Endless Source," he could be certain of one thing: without the assistance of an external device, it was impossible for an Old God to absorb the source energy inside.

"Implant it into the divine body for a period of time, and the adaptability of the 'Endless Source' will be activated"—who knows who started that rumor? This kind of statement was like discussing a zero-loss perpetual motion machine with a physicist.

Although Su Xiao couldn't replicate the "Endless Source," he was 60% to 70% sure he could manufacture an external auxiliary device to allow divine-system existences to absorb the source energy inside.

As for those Old God scholars of the Meteorite Star—it wasn't that Su Xiao looked down on them, but alchemical creations and the Eye Ritual were knowledge styles that were completely different. Trying to activate the "Endless Source" with the Eye Ritual—a more grounded metaphor would be like trying to get a haircut with a mobile phone; it was completely nonsensical.

Giving this thing to Zui Yasi for free now was both fishing and letting that side prepare funds. Asking Zui Yasi now wouldn't get much money, and besides, both sides had collaborated many times; even if he fleeced him, it would be within limits.

Conversely, if the faction Zui Yasi belonged to sent someone to talk later, that wouldn't be Zui Yasi's treatment. If the other side didn't pay a sufficient price, Su Xiao wouldn't even pay attention to them.

"What are your plans afterward?"

Zui Yasi, that dog-thief, saw the clues and didn't feel any of the guilt of having just taken something for free.

"Go to the Wolf Tomb."

Hearing this, Zui Yasi's footsteps paused, and he said: "Farewell."

Leaving this sentence behind, Zui Yasi quickly disappeared among the buildings. In the entire inner city area, besides the Gray Rock Plaza, the only place he had been to was the Wolf Tomb, because Wood had gone there before and later returned to ask for help.

Originally, the two had agreed that Zui Yasi would help Wood solve the strong enemy at the Wolf Tomb first, and afterward, the other would help him take the item inside the Black Maple Tree.

The result was that Zui Yasi went to the Wolf Tomb, and after fighting the Wolf Knight for a while, Zui Yasi and Wood retreated. Wood was fine, but Zui Yasi was left stunned by the great sword's slashes.

The Silver Moon Wolf was an ally of the Law-Extinguishers. In the past, when hunting Old Gods together, the Silver Moon Wolf was extremely adept at tracking the aura of Old Gods and was also a main force during combat.

The Wolf Knight of the Wolf Tomb was the inheritor of the Silver Moon Wolf's power. Zui Yasi, of the Old God system, going there was simply asking for trouble.

Zui Yasi later discovered that Wood, that fellow, had asked him to go not only to deal with the Wolf Knight but also out of the thought that he shouldn't be the only one slashed by the Wolf Knight. Such a good thing had to be shared with a "good teammate." As a result, he didn't find Su Xiao in the Cathedral District but found Zui Yasi.

By the time Zui Yasi wanted to trick Wood into going to the Gray Rock Plaza to share the experience of being shot by Pale Hunters until he doubted his life, he found that Wood had already disappeared without a trace.

"A pity."

Su Xiao felt a slight regret. If he could trick Zui Yasi into the Wolf Tomb, the chance of winning against the Wolf Knight would increase significantly. Alas, "good teammates" were too hard to trick. Zui Yasi would occasionally fall for it, but Wood and Caesar were completely untrickable.

Su Xiao returned along the path he had come. After traveling for more than ten minutes, a subtle sound came from behind a building more than ten meters away.

The surroundings were so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Su Xiao stopped in his tracks and scanned the surroundings. His hand pressed onto the hilt of his blade. Although he hadn't locked onto the enemy's position, he was certain that a strong enemy was hiding behind one of the buildings nearby.

Patter, patter~

Bloody claws stepped on the ground. A monster with gray-white fur all over its body, walking on all fours, and covered in upright bone spurs on its back, walked out from behind the building. Its size was not small—it was as tall as a house—but it was coordinated and sharp. It was biting half a corpse of a Dead Person in its mouth, which was full of sharp teeth, and blackened blood dripped along the long fur under its mouth.

Su Xiao used the Eye of the Gods to detect it, but only detected the monster's name: Bloodthirsty Beast.

After a burst of creepy chewing sounds, the half-corpse of the Dead Person was swallowed by the Bloodthirsty Beast as it tilted its head back. Its tongue licked the bloodstains on its claws.

The Bloodthirsty Beast's bright red vertical pupils stared at Su Xiao. It made a gesture to pounce, but its long tail suddenly nailed into the ground, forcibly curbing its pouncing action.

"Bai, Ye."

The Bloodthirsty Beast spat out hoarse and blurred human speech. It disappeared in a leap, and when it appeared again, it was already on a half-collapsed high tower a hundred meters away.

"In the end, it turned into a beast."

Su Xiao spoke in a low voice. Looking at the direction where the Bloodthirsty Beast disappeared, he had already guessed who this was. This was the Holy Priest who drank strong liquor, had a violent temper, but said "come back alive" when they met at the High Wall City.

Just as Su Xiao was about to walk toward the Cathedral, he heard running sounds coming from ahead. Looking closely, it was Zui Yasi, whom he had just parted with not long ago.

Zui Yasi ran toward him. Seeing Su Xiao while running, Zui Yasi's eyes showed joy, but in the next second, Su Xiao disappeared from where he was.

Inside the second floor of a residential house by the street, Su Xiao watched Zui Yasi and the several Dead People chasing him go far away. A moment later, when there was no movement in the distance, he left the house and returned toward the Cathedral.

Half an hour later.

Bang!

A rusted long blade flipped and flew past Su Xiao's shoulder, sinking into the building ahead. He didn't stop, leaped onto the roof of the building, and jumped toward the roof across the street.

While in mid-air, Su Xiao heard a whistling sound behind him. The strong wind blew his hair up.

Boom!

The building behind him was smashed by a huge arm made of tree roots. Afterward, the back of this tree-root hand spread out, and root after root wrapped toward Su Xiao.

"Blade Dao Blade · Ring Break."

The long blade rang crisply, and the broken tree roots scattered. The Tree Eater behind roared, grabbed a Dead Person who was crouching low with its giant hand, and threw it toward Su Xiao.

With a bang, the Dead Person was thrown flying, breaking through a wave of air. While in mid-air, it had already swung its battle axe.

Clang!

The battle axe was blocked by Zhan Long Shan, but the Dead Person pulled out a wheel crossbow from its waist with its backhand, and the wheel crossbow fired small crossbow bolts continuously.

Almost at the same time, another Dead Person landed near Su Xiao. Its braids were very long. After landing, it performed a spinning kick, bringing along the blade chain on its tattered clothes, heading straight for Su Xiao's head.

Blood energy gathered on Su Xiao's right foot. He stomped on the ground, and the blood energy shockwave spread out, forcibly pushing back the two Dead People opposite him.

A sense of crisis that made one's hair stand on end suddenly struck. Everything around Su Xiao seemed to slow down. He slashed diagonally, sparking a series of sparks.

An arm flew to the ground, and a Dead Person wearing a hood and holding a short blade appeared.

Su Xiao leaped backward again, successfully stepping into the range of the "Garden of Slumber." The three Dead People and the Tree Eater outside the gate did not chase in, and the Pale Hunters standing on the top of the high tower in the distance, carrying several spears, no longer sniped at Su Xiao from afar.

It was impossible for Su Xiao to avoid all the Dead People; the current situation was just like this. He had just been walking on a side street when a spear suddenly shot over. He subconsciously slashed at it, and the recoil made his entire arm numb for half a minute.

He didn't know why this Pale Hunter attacked him. The other was significantly different from other Pale Hunters. First was the height of nearly 4 meters, and it didn't use a bow and arrow. On its bare chest, there was a triangular mark, and the twelve stone seats in the Cathedral had the same mark.

Su Xiao pushed open the door of the Cathedral and waited here. Xiang Bubu Wang and Baja, who were saving 【Shelter Stones】, came to greet him. There was no Dead Silence energy spreading inside the Cathedral, so naturally, no shelter was needed.

Walking up to the stone platform on the second floor, Su Xiao discovered that the Archbishop on the stone seat was actually a bit better than before, at least not in the state of being about to die of old age at any time.

"Is the Moonlight Maid no longer a member of the Church?"

The Archbishop spoke.

"Yes."

"That is also a good thing. She has seen off many Chosen Ones. Being able to hold on until now has already exceeded our expectations."

The Archbishop felt a bit of emotion, more of which was nostalgia.

"I met a Pale Hunter, and it had that mark on its body."

Su Xiao pointed to a stone chair next to him. Seeing this, the Archbishop nodded and said: "It's best not to provoke him. In the Church, besides the Saint Song Troupe and those Wolf Knights, he is the strongest."

"Oh."

Su Xiao didn't continue chatting with the Archbishop. He sat cross-legged on a stone chair nearby and began to recover his state.

Two hours later, Su Xiao opened his eyes. The previous battle hadn't been intense; he had fought while retreating. Two hours of recovery had already brought him to his peak state. It was time to head to the Wolf Tomb.

Su Xiao had just descended to the first floor and hadn't taken many steps when he felt something was wrong. He turned his head to look at the stairs leaning against the wall, and a woman wearing a silver mask and a gray robe was standing on them. It was the Gray Maid.

The Gray Maid folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen and bowed slightly to Su Xiao, not speaking, as if she couldn't speak.

Su Xiao didn't know what the Gray Maid's abilities were, but one thing was certain: if one didn't perceive carefully, it was easy to ignore her existence.

"Wait, you're going to the Wolf Tomb, right? I'll go too."

Gulu, who was sitting on the chandelier high up, spoke. Ever since witnessing Su Xiao's gains in the treasury, Gulu had decided that she would also contribute in future battles to get a share of the loot.

Gulu had seen with her own eyes earlier that when Su Xiao put away 72 Soul Crystals, she had been almost crazy with greed.

"Are you sure?"

Su Xiao was about to deal with the last Wolf Knight. Theoretically speaking, the Wolf Knight was stronger than the Saint Song Troupe. Initially, their strengths were similar, but considering the Archbishop had mentioned that the Wolf Knights had an extremely high resistance to Dead Silence erosion, it was no problem to say that the Wolf Knights were stronger than the Saint Song Troupe now.

"Of course I'm sure. This time the four of us will besiege one Wolf Knight..."

"Woof!"

Xiang Bubu Wang quickly interrupted, meaning that it was support; it didn't dare to go up and be arrogant with the Wolf Knight. The Wolf Knight could kick it to death with one foot.

"Even three against one has an advantage. This time, watch me. To tell you the truth, I've actually been hiding my strength."

Gulu finished speaking, bit the candy in her mouth with a crunch, and smiled. ===== CHAPTER 3559 =====
