Chapter 3592: Enemies Meet

Deep in the night, Su Xiao sat in front of the wide-open window, enjoying the night breeze blowing through the thin gauze curtains.

Today was the second day of the Arcane Festival. Before 12 o'clock tonight, the "Void Great Library" would rarely open to the public. Su Xiao didn't go. The auction tonight and the subsequent game of wits made him certain of one thing: the four leaders had already begun to suspect him.

Su Xiao had been prepared for this situation long ago. Alas, the predetermined response method hadn't taken effect at the critical moment.

Before coming to the Arcane Eternal Star, Su Xiao went to the Ash Bunker and booked an assassin to attack him.

Logically speaking, the other party should have acted today, but now it was almost 11 o'clock at night, and there was still no movement. This could only mean that the assassin from the Ash Bunker had been dealt with by the spellcasters.

From this, one could see the brilliance of the Arcane Eternal Star's defensive measures. Su Xiao had estimated this long ago, which was why he operated the Saint Flame vest to deal with this kind of defensive power.

Su Xiao's original idea was that since he couldn't sneak in, he would let the Arcane Eternal Star invite him. Facts proved that his idea was very correct.

Having said that, the initial creation of the Saint Flame vest wasn't to deal with the Arcane Eternal Star, but a fake identity used in the native world. At that time, using the Saint Flame vest, Su Xiao just changed his clothes and restrained his aura, unlike the current title disguise without any flaws.

Su Xiao activated his Reincarnation Brand to check the items in his storage space. A wooden box that looked pitch black, as if it had been drenched in oil, was placed in the innermost part, separated from other items as far as possible.

Inside this black box was the "Book of the Dead" sealed by "Frost Ice." Speaking of which, the wooden box made by Serphilia was really of a high level. Su Xiao thought it was superior to the charcoal box he made.

Although Su Xiao had mastered "Alchemy Lv. 69," his areas of expertise were more inclined toward pharmacy and explosive manufacturing.

If every level of alchemy increased could gain 1 branch skill point, then Su Xiao had at least invested 60 of the 69 branch skill points he had obtained into pharmacy, and the remaining 9 points were all dumped into explosive manufacturing.

As a combat-type Hunter, the time Su Xiao could invest in alchemy was limited, so he had to make trade-offs. Furthermore, developing alchemy initially was to improve his own strength and thereby obtain resources.

Su Xiao's initial idea was that he used his own physique + sword skills, etc., as the core of combat, so permanent gain potions that could improve himself were the first choice. In addition, potions were both valuable and easy to sell, so he mainly developed pharmacy. Now it seemed that this choice was very correct.

Precisely because of this lopsided development, to this day, the secret treasure "Mysterious Eye" he obtained by interpreting the "Alchemy Secret Code" hadn't been perfected to more than 30%.

Previously, Su Xiao thought he had perfected this thing by more than 70%, and then according to the records in the Alchemy Secret Code, he tried to activate it.

When Su Xiao woke up, several hours had passed. Looking at the fragments of the Mysterious Eye flying everywhere, he knew that the so-called 70% perfection was his illusion. The Alchemy Secret Code clearly stated that if it was activated when perfected by less than 20%, it would explode.

According to the records of the Alchemy Secret Code, this was a peak work created by several second-era alchemy masters of manufacturing. The original record was that the Mysterious Eye had miraculous growth and adaptability. Although it wasn't the kind of divine artifact that could destroy the world, its growth and adaptability were absolutely top-notch.

In the subsequent perfection during leisure time, Su Xiao was surprised to find that this thing had been assembled by himself into a universal key. As long as it was pasted on the keyhole, the Mysterious Eye would absorb it by itself, and its internal precision mechanical structure would transform into metal tentacles as thin as hair, reaching into the keyhole to unlock it.

When he witnessed this scene, Su Xiao sat there and was puzzled for at least a dozen seconds. He didn't understand the operating principle of this thing at all, but there was one point he could be sure of: as long as he dared to take it apart, what kind of thing would be reassembled next time was really up to heaven's will.

Although Su Xiao felt that the current Mysterious Eye was like running at high speed with four legs but using its belly like a crawler, the four legs were completely for show, but let alone anything else, did it run? Although the way it ran was both absurd and peculiar, its speed was really nothing to complain about.

With Su Xiao's indescribable manufacturing, the space stabilization device he manufactured last time to complete the commission of the leader was still slowly researched, and it was built bit by bit according to the huge knowledge reserve of the Alchemy Secret Code.

Just as the leader said, why do you ask how the stabilization device is running every time we meet? You have to have confidence in the works you manufacture.

If it were preparing potions, Su Xiao would have full confidence, but item manufacturing...

Su Xiao observed the pitch-black wooden box in the corner of the storage space. This thing was manufactured both finely and sturdily. The main body was carbonized black maple branches. Because it was not completely carbonized, its hardness was greatly improved. The oil-drenched texture on the outside was a solidified layer with Abyssal characteristics. From this, it could be seen that Serphilia had deep research on Abyssal power.

Su Xiao had taken a fancy to this wooden box before and wanted to get a bigger one. Alas, manufacturing this thing would take at least a few days. Serphilia's meaning was that she would only find time to manufacture it after the Arcane Festival ended.

Regarding this, Su Xiao no longer had any expectations. After the Arcane Festival, when Serphilia thought of him, she would only hate him to the teeth, and she would be so angry that she couldn't sleep when she thought of it before going to bed, let alone help him manufacture this Abyssal box.

Su Xiao checked the situation on the other side of the storage space. The 【Bloodthirsty Battle Armor】 and the 【Dark Blade】 were almost fused together, like a battle armor composed of metal + biological structure, tightly wrapping the Dark Blade. Looking at this posture, the victory of the 【Bloodthirsty Battle Armor】 was only a matter of time.

By that time, this Abyssal box would be of great use. He could stuff the 【Bloodthirsty Battle Armor】 into it. Of course, if the Ancient Mask wasn't honest, he could also stuff it into it.

From the current situation, the victory of the 【Bloodthirsty Battle Armor】 was inevitable. Rather than watching, it was better to speed up this process. Su Xiao bought 【Abyssal Blood (Extremely Pure)】 at the auction tonight for this purpose.

Under Su Xiao's control, the container containing the Abyssal Blood floated near the 【Bloodthirsty Battle Armor】 and the 【Dark Blade】. The seal was broken, and before Su Xiao could continue to control it, the Abyssal Blood inside was completely absorbed by the 【Bloodthirsty Battle Armor】.

Su Xiao had obtained Abyssal Blood twice before, and the characteristics of each time were different. When he defeated the Abyssal Eldest Daughter, that is, the Ghost Queen, Su Xiao obtained it once. That time, the Abyssal Blood was "Ice characteristic" and could not be used.

Later, in the Dead Silence City, Su Xiao obtained Abyssal Blood again. This time, the Abyssal Blood was "Wolf Blood characteristic," which was a rare item that could improve Abyssal resistance.

The Abyssal Blood obtained this time was "Dark characteristic," which must never be used on himself. Even carrying it for a long time had risks, and it might attract Abyssal creatures. It was no wonder that this portion of Abyssal Blood only sold for 1,100 Soul Coins.

The Abyssal Blood was absorbed by the 【Bloodthirsty Battle Armor】, and its swallowing speed of the 【Dark Blade】 showed a visible improvement.

Su Xiao discovered that these items or equipment that might become "Daddy-level" objects were generally easy to use during the period before they completely transformed into "Daddy-level" objects, and the risks of using them were far less than using "Daddy-level" objects.

For example, in arranging the Feather race tonight, the Ancient Mask played a crucial role.

Actually, before coming to the Arcane Eternal Star this time, Su Xiao's plan was to give the Arcane Eternal Star a big gift with the 【Time Hourglass】, but after arriving here, the plan changed again and again.

To be precise, the plan was strengthened again and again. For example, when he met two "good teammates," Zuiyas and Wood, on the train on "Lighthouse Star" at the beginning, Su Xiao knew that the plan to deal with the Arcane Eternal Star could be strengthened, so that the Arcane Eternal Star would pay a greater price.

I don't know if being neighbors with the Goddess of Luck really had some influence on luck. When Su Xiao's plan gradually unfolded, Serphilia's potion commission gave Su Xiao the opportunity to manufacture solar solution, that is, liquid Apollo, on the Lake Heart Island.

This also meant that the plan to deal with the Arcane Eternal Star was further strengthened. This was a super doubling from Serphilia.

Su Xiao thought at the time that the lethality of the plan was just that, but who would have thought that Caesar, Toad, and Violent Rat would arrive? In this way, it wasn't just the three "good teammates," but the three scumbags of the adjudicators also came. Some things that couldn't be done before gradually became possible, and the lethality of the plan was super doubled again.

The lethality of the plan didn't cap here. Tonight's auction was the real king bomb.

The most important thing about this auction wasn't Su Xiao bidding on the "Book of the Dead," but him using his "Dawn Team" to pull Wood, Zuiyas, Caesar, and the White Bull into the team. This was the king bomb.

Logically speaking, the White Bull shouldn't directly participate in this matter. He not only represented himself but also the faction he commanded. Without sufficient benefits, the White Bull participating in this matter was a very unwise decision. Personal friendship was personal friendship. Helping Su Xiao deal with an enemy because of personal friendship was one thing, but dealing with a major faction was another.

But after the plan developed to this point, the White Bull not only entered the game himself, but his desperate subordinates who licked blood from the knife's edge were also eager to try. Now it was impossible not to let them participate. The benefits they could get from this matter were enough to make these desperate people forget the status of the Arcane Eternal Star as the hegemon of the Void.

After Su Xiao pulled Wood, Zuiyas, Caesar, and the White Bull into the team with the Dawn Team, the five parties could not only communicate in real-time but also had the notarization of the Reincarnation Paradise as a security guarantee for communication.

The reason why it was said to be five parties instead of five people was that everyone in the team represented a faction. First was Su Xiao, who represented the Law-Exterminator faction. Zuiyas represented one of the Ancient God factions. The White Bull was the Black Emperor of the underground world. Caesar was the representative of the three scumbags of the adjudicators. Wood represented the Devil race.

Originally, the Devil race wouldn't enter the game, but after the final item of tonight's auction was revealed, the old devils of the Devil race gave their attitude: Wood could play freely on the Arcane Eternal Star without worrying about the relationship between the Arcane Eternal Star and the Devil race. Even if the two sides fell out in the end, it didn't matter. At worst, they would release the final trump card.

This final trump card of the Devil race was actually a "Daddy-level" object. Please don't think that there were many "Daddy-level" objects. This thing was so rare that some powerhouses who fought to the ninth tier might not see it once in their lives, let alone become a holder.

As for why the Devil race had so many "Daddy-level" objects, how could the title of "Void Daddy-Raiser" be just a name?

It was interesting to say that this unknown "Daddy-level" object was originally sought by the Devil race to deal with the "Abyssal Jar," preparing to use poison to fight poison. At that time, the Devil race was indeed exploited too hard by the "Abyssal Jar."

Alas, using poison to fight poison didn't succeed. Instead, it became double-poisoned. From being exploited by one wild daddy, it became exploited by two wild daddies. At that time, the Devil race's attitude was basically: "Destroy it, hurry up, I'm tired."

The turning point appeared not long after. Being exploited by two wild daddies, the Devil race's resources bottomed out quickly, which made the "Abyssal Jar" very dissatisfied. Finally, with its help, the Devil race successfully sealed the other wild daddy.

The current situation was that the "Abyssal Jar" and Caesar were in cahoots and had long been unwilling to go back to harm the Devil race. But without its suppression, the dusty wild daddy seemed to be breaking free from the seal.

Before, when the "Book of the Dead" arrived at the Devil race, the reason why those old devils were so "excited" was that they weren't sure when the "wild daddy" in the seal would break free from the seal, and whether the "Abyssal Jar" would come back.

If the "wild daddy" in the seal broke free from the seal and the "Abyssal Jar" came back, plus the "Book of the Dead," the Devil race would face three "wild daddies" at the same time.

The situation of the Devil race had always been strong and weak. It wasn't that other major factions attacked there, but they were tossed by the "wild daddy." It could be said that no one in the Void dared to attack the Devil race. If they didn't win, they would lose resources and possibly lose territory. And if they won, it would be even more miserable: "Welcome" the "wild daddy."

So, the only things that could make the Devil race decline and perish were "Daddy-level" objects.

This made Wood not care about his behavior outside, which would implicate the Devil race. Even if he provoked the Arcane Eternal Star, those spellcasters would only retaliate against Wood himself, rather than retaliating against the Devil race. The latter was asking for trouble.

Except for Wood, the others in the Dawn Team were actually not afraid of the Arcane Eternal Star's retaliation. Su Xiao didn't need to be mentioned. As for Zuiyas, if they wanted to retaliate against him, they would either find him or find the faction he belonged to.

As everyone knew, the faction Zuiyas belonged to was located on the Meteorite Star. Going to the Meteorite Star to retaliate against an Ancient God faction was truly...

The remaining two people in the Dawn Team didn't need to be mentioned. As the Black Emperor of the underground world, the White Bull had so many enemies that even he couldn't count them.

As for Caesar, it was truly unimaginable what it would be like to retaliate against Caesar.

After tonight's auction, after Su Xiao risked dragging the four leaders, the other four in the team each completed a few things.

Among them, the White Bull let his subordinates attack a mining city under the jurisdiction of the Feather race located two star orbits away. That was one of the production sites of high-vibration steel, which the Feather race valued very much.

For the White Bull to let his subordinates attack there, in the eyes of any Void faction, it was both normal and had the madness of a desperate person. The White Bull and the Feather race had been at odds for more than a day or two. The hatred accumulated by both sides had reached the point where one side must perish to resolve it.

Last time Su Xiao went to the remote place of the Void, Saint Geya, to guide the sword skills of Wood's old friend's daughter, he happened to meet the White Bull who was at war with the Feather race there.

The White Bull not only let his subordinates attack, but he himself also rushed to that planet overnight. With the current relationship between the spellcasters and the Feather race, the White Bull, who was at Liguang Manor, had just set off when the Feather race received news from the manor manager.

Learning this intelligence, the Feather race high-level was both furious and cautious. But the problem was that distant water couldn't quench near thirst. By the time the strong reinforcements from the Feather race arrived, the White Bull and his subordinates might have already turned that mining city into ruins.

Fortunately, among the representatives of the Feather race who came to the Arcane Eternal Star this time, there was an old-generation powerhouse of the Feather race, whose name was Maha. This was one of the strongest of the Feather race.

Maha immediately rushed to save the scene, but no one could have imagined that this grudge between the White Bull and the Feather race was actually a diversion.

Not long after Maha left, Ouna, who put on the Ancient Mask, entered the hotel where the Feather race was staying, disguised as the Feather race's Yao Yi.

Where did Yao Yi herself go? The answer was that she received an invitation from Wood's sister, Edaier. Before the arena competition started tomorrow, the girls from various races participating in the competition held this tea party.

Zuiyas's wife, Ouna, used the Ancient Mask to disguise herself as Yao Yi and successfully entered the hotel where the Feather race was staying. She found the Feather race genius, Yuli. The moment Yuli opened the door, the ending was already doomed.

Many people thought that the Marrow-Parasitic Worm was Zuiyas's trump card. In fact, this ability was learned from his wife. Ouna's Marrow-Parasitic Worm ability was truly terrifying. Once hit, the target's cognition would be gradually changed silently.

Therefore, in the cognition of the Feather race genius Yuli, the 【Time Hourglass】 handed to him by Ouna was a magic weapon for victory, which could be used when fighting strong enemies tomorrow. Even his cognition in this regard was tampered with, saying that this secret treasure was entrusted to him by Maha before he left, and this matter must not be disclosed. He wanted to make a splash tomorrow.

From the application of the 【Time Hourglass】, one could actually see how exaggeratedly Su Xiao's plan had been strengthened. At the beginning, he was prepared to give the Arcane Eternal Star a big gift with the 【Time Hourglass】, but now, the 【Time Hourglass】 had become an appetizer before the big gift.

If Su Xiao's original plan was to end with the Arcane Eternal Star losing face and suffering certain losses, then now, after this plan was super doubled + king bombed, it was to make the Arcane Eternal Star pay a price they couldn't bear.

The layout here was very smooth, but Caesar's side encountered resistance. However, that side had to wait until the second day of the "Arena Competition" to start implementing the corresponding plan. There was no rush. It was still necessary to seek stability as much as possible.

It was already late. Tomorrow morning, Su Xiao still had to be present as an audience for the "Arena Competition." Just as he was about to get up and walk to the bedroom, the door was knocked.

After opening the door, Su Xiao found that it was Green Wei, who didn't know where she had gone after the auction started tonight, and her mentor Serphilia. Besides these two, Huge was also there.

Compared to the previous two days, Huge's complexion had recovered. Seeing this, Su Xiao said: "Your complexion has recovered well. After the Arcane Festival, come to the Lake Heart Island to help?"

"Cough~, forget it. I've been very busy lately."

Huge politely refused. The experience of watching the lantern show before had almost become a TV series, making him not want to go to the Lake Heart Island in the near future.

Actually, seeing Huge come, and Serphilia sending someone to send the "Book of the Dead" before, Su Xiao knew the purpose of these three people coming: Crow Girl.

"There is a matter that requires you to personally confirm. It concerns how the Book of the Dead was brought to the Eternal Star."

Serphilia spoke. Sure enough, it was to see Crow Girl.

"..."

Su Xiao looked at the time, seemingly wanting to decline, but in the end, he agreed.

"When are you prepared to settle the remuneration for this matter?"

As soon as Su Xiao spoke, Serphilia outside the door replied: "Now."

After speaking, Serphilia took out a crystal card. After Su Xiao took it, a prompt appeared.

【You have obtained a 50,000 Soul Coin notarization card (Origin: Tree of the Void).】

【Holding this notarization card, you can exchange for the corresponding number of Soul Coins at the material collection point in the Reincarnation Paradise.】

As soon as the 50,000 Soul Coins were in hand, Su Xiao felt spatial fluctuations around him. Serphilia's spatial ability was stronger than imagined. The other party could go wherever she wanted within the Arcane Eternal Star, and it was an instantaneous long-distance spatial movement that violated the iron law of the spatial system.

When the scene in front of him recovered, Su Xiao was already in a dim dungeon. The gas lamps embedded in the walls were flickering, revealing a dim and oppressive light.

The humid and cold environment, the black greasy moss on the walls, the flickering gas lamps, and the dripping sound from nowhere—this was the underground prison of the Arcane Eternal Star.

"This way."

After arriving here, Huge changed his usual laziness and had an imposing aura.

Walking down the steps, Su Xiao arrived in front of a very long corridor. This corridor was about a few meters wide, and on both sides were prison cells. Although the metal bars of the prison cells were old, the spells on them made them indestructible.

There were no gas lamps in this layer of the dungeon, and it was pitch black.

"Another living person has come."

"Hehehehe."

"The Arcane Eternal Star really has many enemies."

In the prison cells on both sides, there were either mocking laughs or people hysterically hitting the metal bars, like a group of mad beasts driven crazy in the dark.

Huge picked up the lantern hanging on the wall, and the soul black flame ignited on the wick inside. What was peculiar was that this lantern revealed a white faint light.

"Soul... Flame, Huge!!"

In a prison cell, an angry shout came out, but soon, he was pressed down by other prisoners in the same prison cell and had his mouth covered.

"Warden."

"Shut up, the Warden is here."

Sure enough, the dungeon on this layer soon became quiet. Huge carried the lantern and walked in front. Wherever the white light shone, as long as it shone on the prisoners, there would be intense roasting and burning. A prisoner didn't have time to shrink his arm into the darkness and was burned into white bones in the screams in an instant.

Passing through the corridor nearly a hundred meters long and going down a few more layers of dungeons, they finally arrived at the bottom layer of the underground prison. Arriving here, Huge extinguished the soul lamp. He pressed one hand on a metal door, and the heavy metal door opened in response.

There were only ten prison cells on the bottom layer. The lighting here was bright, and the prison cells were clean to the point of being spotless. They used super-large pieces of elemental extracts, which looked like glass, as the front sealing wall, which made the situation in each prison cell clear at a glance.

Among the ten prison cells, six were empty. Among the remaining four, one was imprisoning this kind of black semi-fluid creature. Seeing this thing, Su Xiao immediately thought of Abyssal creatures.

Among the other three, one was imprisoning a skeleton. That's right, it was a skeleton that was already dead and still considered complete.

Continuing forward, the group arrived in front of the prison cell where Crow Girl was locked. Crow Girl was wearing loose pure white prisoner clothes. Her eyes were pitch black, the outer circle of her pupils was white, and at the center point of her pupils, there was a pitch-black central pupil. Like before, it was still black to the point of being deep and soul-stirring.

"Her name is Crow Girl. Not long ago, she was captured alive by the Law-Exterminator Bai Ye..."

Serphilia's words were interrupted by Crow Girl in the prison cell: "Not captured alive, but fought until exhausted."

"Let's assume you fought until exhausted, but you bringing the Book of the Dead to the Eternal Star is an established fact."

Serphilia made Crow Girl shut up with a cold gaze, and then said to Su Xiao: "Regarding the detailed situation of how the Book of the Dead was brought to the Eternal Star, you can ask her. What you do is your business. I only want a result, a result that the Book of the Dead and the Eternal Star will have no more connection in the future."

"Fine, let me go in and talk to her."

Su Xiao knocked on the glass-like sealing wall.

"Mr. Saint Flame, even if Crow Girl is sealed, she is equally dangerous to you as an alchemist."

Huge spoke. Su Xiao waved his hand. Seeing this, Huge's gaze turned to Serphilia. Serphilia was fully responsible for this matter.

"Let him in."

"If possible, let me talk to her alone?"

While speaking, Su Xiao had already passed through the semi-hidden sealing wall and entered the prison cell where Crow Girl was. Hearing him say he wanted to talk alone, Serphilia took Green Wei and Huge and turned to leave the bottom layer of the dungeon, not knowing where they went. It was needless to say that they were certainly monitoring every move of Su Xiao and Crow Girl.

In the dungeon, Su Xiao sat on a chair, looked at Crow Girl opposite him with unkind eyes, and said: "Answer me a few questions, and I might be able to let them let you out."

"What if I go out? Staying here is actually not bad."

Crow Girl had an attitude of not caring at all.

"Oh? So, you don't want to take revenge anymore?"

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Crow Girl's gaze changed. She asked: "Can you help me take revenge for this? You know, the one who pitted me here is a Law-Exterminator."

Crow Girl gritted her teeth and spoke. Perhaps she never dreamed that her enemy was right in front of her at this moment. ===== CHAPTER 3593 =====
