Chapter 3617

On the pedestrian street, Dragon God Dean, who was once hailed as the strongest 8th-tier in Apocalypse Paradise, although he looked calm and composed at the moment, was actually a bit panicked in his heart. He could be certain that once his grudge with Su Xiao and the Gray Gentleman was known to outsiders, it would definitely make it onto this year's "Apocalypse Paradise Top Ten Brain-Aneurysm Events List," and it might even be at the top.

More importantly, in this world, Dragon God Dean, who had been acting alone since the 5th tier, met his three teammates who had shared life and death with him when he was in the 3rd tier. Originally, they were a team of more than a dozen people. Now, four of them survived to the 9th tier. Although the strength of his three teammates was far inferior to his, such a reunion after a long separation was certainly extremely happy.

This is the survival rate of contractors in Apocalypse Paradise. If it were Reincarnation Paradise or Death Paradise, it would be basically impossible to have such a thing.

Dragon God Dean is a person who values feelings. In order to avenge his younger brother, he could run around for multiple world progresses and go deep into the Dead Land. Although the operation of finding the wrong enemy was brain-dead, after discovering the truth, Dean was not angry, but was so angry that he kept spraying blood, even though he was already poisoned.

Now that he accidentally met his "enemy" Su Xiao, Dragon God Dean's momentum subconsciously weakened by three points. This was clearly a feeling of being in the wrong.

"Oh, isn't this Dean? Last time you..."

Baha spoke. The secret sentries around the pedestrian street had not been withdrawn completely. Dragon God Dean came just in time.

"Shut up!"

Dragon God Dean suddenly shouted. That look of both anger and slight guilty conscience made Baha freeze for a moment. Then, after it looked at the three people behind the Dragon God and their expressions, Baha suddenly realized, and the smile on its bird face could no longer be suppressed.

"You guys retreat first. With only me left, it's more convenient for me to get away."

Dragon God Dean spoke.

"Okay."

"Take care."

"See you later."

Dean's three teammates took out their life-saving items without hesitation. The three of them had already faintly sensed the secret sentries around the pedestrian street.

Speaking of which, these four people were unlucky. With the perception of the old man among them, if the secret sentries on the pedestrian street had not been withdrawn, he would have been able to sense them. But unfortunately, before they came, the secret sentries had basically been withdrawn, but they were not far from being withdrawn.

With a bang, Dragon God Dean's three teammates disappeared, leaving behind a large amount of light particle dust. It can be said that life-saving items are essential materials for contractors in Apocalypse Paradise. As long as they are not in the space blockade of the 9th tier, life-saving items worth three or four thousand Soul Coins are still very top-notch.

"See..."

Dragon God Dean was just about to say "never see you again," when Baha suddenly said:

"We are actually quite destined. Why don't I share our story on the world contact platform of this world."

"Are you... threatening me?"

Dragon God Dean's eyes narrowed slightly. He wasn't stupid. Being in the enemy's encirclement, he certainly didn't think about fighting hard.

"Fart, I am threatening you. No need to use such a euphemistic word as 'extortion'."

"You!"

Dean just said the word "you," and Baha had already started to greet Dean kindly, which made Dean, who felt he was in the wrong, only secretly angry. His anger continued to rise at a rate of 3–5 points per second.

"What? Can't talk your way out of it and want to do it? This is the legendary strongest 8th-tier in Apocalypse Paradise, the righteous Dean."

Hearing this, Dean's anger dropped by 50 points on the spot. Seeing this, Baha started to spit out fragrant words again, causing Dragon God Dean's anger to rise again. It can only be said that Baha's Master of Key-Art has reached a mysterious realm, and it has begun to be able to control the enemy's anger value.

"I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. You have life-saving items, and the cost of surrounding you is relatively high."

Hearing this, Dean was almost so angry that he sprayed a mouthful of old blood. The other party sprayed him for nearly ten minutes, and at the end said, "I won't talk nonsense with you anymore." This idiot is too bullying!

"Not convinced? Let's fight one-on-one!"

Baha suddenly changed its tone. Hearing this, Dean froze for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, one-on-one."

"You are really shameless. If I'm not mistaken, you are not a contractor at all. You are a Battle Angel of Apocalypse Paradise, the once strongest 8th-tier of Apocalypse Paradise. How could you not be a Battle Angel of Apocalypse Paradise? A 9th-tier Battle Angel wants to fight one-on-one with a follower? Heh—bah, shameless! I feel ashamed for you."

Baha on Amu's shoulder didn't stop its firepower. Dean opposite was secretly gritting his teeth, and unknowingly put on a mask of pain.

"But having said that, you and I are not completely enemies. We were both calculated by the Gray Gentleman."

Baha's sharp turn of words made Dean, who had just brewed a counter-attack vocabulary, hold it back, and he was so uncomfortable that he almost suffered internal injuries.

"Yes."

Dean actually agreed with Baha's words. From beginning to end, the hostility between the two sides was because of the Gray Gentleman's calculation.

"As the saying goes, enemies should be resolved rather than knotted. Why don't we talk?"

Baha expressed its stance. If it could surround and kill Dean, who was still hostile before, it would definitely not be soft-hearted. The problem is, given the wealth of the guy in front of him, the power of his life-saving items must be astonishing to everyone.

Su Xiao had learned about it through Mo Lei before. In Apocalypse Paradise, if someone like Dean, who is the MVP of the whole field in every world scramble, is a strong person, then after the main mission is completed, there is a high probability that there will be rare life-saving items in the final reward.

Reincarnation Paradise is another situation, more inclined to growth. Su Xiao had previously obtained mission rewards like 【Skill Upgrade Warehouse Free Usage Authority (Once)】, which made contractors in Apocalypse Paradise feel incredible.

The situation now is that although this street has been surrounded, if he really wants to surround and kill Dean, he must let Baha open the "Magic Eagle Domain" to seal the space. The problem is, the cooldown time of the "Magic Eagle Domain" is 8–9 natural days, depending on how long Baha opens it. If it opens for 10 minutes, it is a 9-day cooldown.

He still needs to hunt four traitors and the God of Radiance later. Under such circumstances, using the Magic Eagle Domain to deal with Dean seems not very cost-effective.

A moment later, in a small restaurant on the street, the business here is good. It is a husband-and-wife shop. Other meals are average, but the meat dishes are impeccable. The dishes in this regard barely reach the level of Xia.

Amu has been eating happily, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha are also eating with oily mouths. But Dean across the table only asked for a glass of ice water and hadn't drunk it yet. The reason is that he had learned Su Xiao's Soul Poison, which he would never forget in his life.

"Not bad, Dean, the Soul Poison is lifted."

Baha spoke. This guy wanted to mess with Dean's mentality again to facilitate subsequent negotiations.

"My life was not meant to end when I was in the Dark Continent. I met a famous doctor who could lift the Soul Poison."

"Oh, did he call himself Dr. Wofu?"

Hearing Baha's words, Dean's expression remained unchanged, but his mentality had already collapsed with a click.

"Poisoning me in battle and then finding a doctor to save me? This kind of meaningless behavior..."

Dean was halfway through his sentence when Baha interrupted:

"Who said it was meaningless? You spent 100,000 Soul Coins to buy that bottle of secret medicine. We split the bill 50-50, which means you gave us 50,000 Soul Coins. How can this be called meaningless?"

"..."

Dean suddenly fell into silence. Seeing that the time was about right, Baha cleared its throat: "But all this is based on you attacking actively. You have nothing to say about this, right."

"Hmm."

"Dean, ask yourself, what did we do to offend you? You hate us so much that you tracked us to the Dark Continent, not to mention tracking us to the Dead City."

Baha finished speaking, looking indignant.

"This..."

Dean pressed his forehead lightly with one hand. He faintly felt that if he admitted to being pitted by the Gray Gentleman at this time, he would really jump into the pit dug by the guys opposite.

"You are speechless."

Baha suddenly spoke, which made Dean secretly say it was over.

"You tracked us for so long for no reason. Tell me, what should we do?"

"How about this, I compensate you 5000 Soul Coins for combat loss and mental damage?"

Dean always felt that he was in the wrong, but he also tried his best to open a low price. If Baha knew Dean's thoughts, he would definitely exclaim, "Good guy, 5000 Soul Coins is still a low price."

"Deal."

Baha agreed decisively, which made Dean opposite feel surprised. Such a grudge, solved with 5000 Soul Coins? So simple, it made him feel uneasy.

"Let's trade."

Baha began to urge. Seeing this, Dean frowned. He felt that there was a trap in this matter.

"If you are worried, why don't we sign a contract?"

Baha spoke. No matter how you listen to it, the tone reveals a happy atmosphere. Dean opposite didn't speak. He would rather use the life-saving item worth 40,000 Soul Coins than sign any contract with Su Xiao.

"Actually, we don't want to maintain a hostile relationship with you either. The cause of this matter is the Gray Gentleman. He is also our enemy. So, we are in a meaningless hostile relationship. After getting enough compensation, we will pretend nothing happened."

Baha's words made Dean opposite silent for a while.

【You have received a trade application from Battle Angel Dean.】

【You have obtained 5000 Soul Coins.】

After the trade was completed, Dean got up and wanted to leave.

"Don't be in a hurry. Since the misunderstanding is resolved now, let's talk about other subsequent things. This matter started because of the Gray Gentleman. You agree with this, right."

Hearing Baha's words, Dean felt ominous in his heart.

"Congratulations, Mr. Dean. Your enemy has been slaughtered by us in the Tree-Born World. Hahaha, is it unexpected?"

At this point, Baha changed the subject. After borrowing a calculator from the bar, it started clicking wildly.

"Mr. Dean, we helped you eliminate the Gray Gentleman. If you don't express it a little, it's a bit unreasonable."

"How much."

"15000 Soul Coins."

"..."

Dean pondered for a few seconds, then smiled. He had long thought that things would not be so simple. Now paying another 15000 Soul Coins actually seemed normal.

【You have received a trade application from Battle Angel Dean.】

【You have obtained 15000 Soul Coins.】

Dean got up to leave. Baha hurriedly said: "Wait."

"You..."

Dean was angry. He had already paid 20,000 Soul Coins and would not take out another half a Soul Coin, although he himself felt that being tracked like that and only getting 20,000 Soul Coins was indeed a bit of a loss.

"Our old accounts are settled. Let's talk about today's. Today you met us by chance. Look, you are now in our ambush circle, right."

"Yes."

"If we really surround and attack you, even if you escape, you have to use life-saving items. To tell you the truth, I am a space-type, which you actually know. So, if you want to get rid of the current situation, you must use high-value life-saving items, which must be worth 40,000 to 50,000 Soul Coins. But to solve the time of both of us, we omit this process, simplify everything, and you give us 30,000 Soul Coins directly, and we let you leave. Look, back and forth, didn't we help you save 20,000 Soul Coins!"

Baha patted the table a little excitedly at the end, not caring about the mood of Dean opposite who had already put on a mask of pain.

"According to what you said, you also helped me save 20,000 Soul Coins?"

When Dean said this, his eyes had turned into dragon-like vertical pupils. This was clearly about to take action.

"Dean, calm down. Think about it. If you take action now, wouldn't the previous 20,000 Soul Coins be given in vain? Plus you have to use life-saving items worth 50,000 Soul Coins. Calculated this way, you have to lose 70,000 Soul Coins."

Hearing this, Dean's eyes twitched. At this moment, he suddenly understood why 5000 Soul Coins could eliminate past grudges. It turned out to be waiting here. In fact, everything is very simple. If you want to pretend that the tracking never happened, take out 50,000 Soul Coins, and Su Xiao's team will choose to have selective amnesia about this matter.

The problem is, if Dean is asked to take out 50,000 Soul Coins at once, Dean will not agree. He would rather use the life-saving item worth more than 40,000 Soul Coins than accept this result.

But if you first offer a low price to make Dean feel that this matter is actually acceptable, and then propose a second thing, although the price this time is not low, it is not high either. The previous 5000 Soul Coins have been paid, so 15,000 more doesn't matter.

However, compared to these, Dean is considering another question at the moment, which is why these guys in front of him are so skilled and handy at doing this. Regarding this, Mo Lei, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei smiled without saying a word.

"Okay, you guys are ruthless. I admit it this time."

After speaking, Dean traded 30,000 Soul Coins to Su Xiao and got up to leave.

"Go, brother, there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Baha spoke. Hearing this, Dean quickened his pace to prevent his blood pressure from continuing to soar.

Su Xiao checked his Reincarnation Brand, looked at the 50,000 Soul Coins added to the Soul Coin account column, and planned to let the matter rest. The reason is very simple: judging from Dean's series of actions, a person who knows he is in the wrong and is willing to pay Soul Coins for compensation is unlikely to retaliate later. A person who would really retaliate later would have used life-saving items to get away as soon as they met today.

Or rather, if Su Xiao took the Soul Coins now and then took action to keep Dean, that would be an endless death feud. Before, it was at most hostile, and it was a hostile relationship with a more magical way.

Being able to build the hunting list this time, he has to thank Dean. If it weren't for the 500+ ounces of Space-Time Power that the other party "sent" before, Su Xiao really wouldn't have enough Space-Time Power to build a "Blood Pact-grade" hunting list.

Speaking of which, every time he met Dean twice, Su Xiao made a windfall. Last time it was 75,000 Soul Coins + 500+ ounces of Space-Time Power, and this time it was 50,000 Soul Coins.

When Su Xiao returned to the asylum, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. He sat behind the desk, picked up the information about the Nightmare King on the table, and after reading it, found that this Nightmare King was different from what he had imagined.

According to the records in the information, the Nightmare King is an existence from ancient times. There is no need to care too much about this. Calculated, several traitors have been in this world for a thousand years. It is common for a thousand-year existence to be exaggerated as coming from ancient times.

The point that does not match is that the information records that the Nightmare King is very powerful, stronger than the Abyss Leader Silvis and the God of Radiance.

This point does not match the informant. The bounty for the informant on the hunting list is 400 ounces of Space-Time Power. Judging from this, the informant will not be strong to this extent.

Of course, this information is not particularly credible right now. The end of the information notes that the Nightmare King rarely leaves Nightmare Island, and all information about the Nightmare King has some legendary colors.

Putting the information into the drawer, Su Xiao got up and went into the bedroom to rest. For the next few days, there should be no time to rest.

When Su Xiao woke up, it was already 2:50. He raised his hand to turn off the timer for the 3:00 alarm, washed up, and waited for others to meet at the asylum. The time had reached about 4:00 in the morning.

When Dre, Silver Face, Veronica, Platinum Bishop, Red-Eyed Woman, and Beast Knight were all present, in order not to attract attention, everyone took a modified vehicle to go out. With the size of Amu and Beast Knight, the back compartment was slightly crowded, but it also seemed a bit lively, especially the talkative Platinum Bishop and Veronica who liked to mutter to herself when she had nothing to do.

Before long, Platinum Bishop and Baha started chatting. Veronica, who was sitting next to Su Xiao, started muttering to herself, even muttering about her cousin who snatched her candy when she was a few years old, which shows how wide the scope of her muttering is.

And diagonally opposite, the Red-Eyed Woman was praising the sun. Unfortunately, this was inside the carriage, and she couldn't stretch out, causing Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu on her left and right to tilt their heads to both sides to avoid her arms.

When the car stopped, they had arrived at the container area of the port. The stacked containers made a cargo ship at the port not very conspicuous.

After Su Xiao and the others boarded the ship, the bearded captain had a group of sailors prepare to set sail.

On the deck, the slightly fishy and salty sea breeze blew. The ship had been at sea for half an hour, and there was an endless sea around. Su Xiao sat on the ship's side, looking at the horizon in the distance. The captain of this cargo ship clearly had instructed beforehand not to let the sailors on the ship talk to Su Xiao and the others casually, which was exactly the situation Su Xiao wanted.

Unknowingly, the sun rose on the horizon. Su Xiao, who was meditating on the deck, suddenly said:

"Haven't decided where to jump into the sea yet?"

This sudden question made the heart of Angry Shark, who had only taken off his shackles a few hours ago, suffocate. He hurriedly explained: "Dean Bai Ye, you gave me such an opportunity, how could I escape halfway? Isn't that looking for death?"

While speaking, Angry Shark had quietly loosened a small iron ring in his hand. As long as he was given a chance, he could use it to escape.

"Hmm, I believe you."

Su Xiao temporarily ended his meditation and opened his eyes to look at Angry Shark, which made Angry Shark only smile awkwardly.

"Veronica, help him recognize the situation."

"Understood."

Veronica stepped forward and kicked Angry Shark, who was wearing a sealing neck ring, to the ground, then put on gloves, gave Angry Shark a combination of punches, and finally dragged over a large metal box, put Angry Shark in it, covered the lid, sat on the metal cover, put on headphones, and began to twist her body slightly with the rhythm.

At noon that day, the bearded captain came to deliver food himself. Just as he arrived near this deck, he heard the thumping sound from the metal box, which made his eyes narrow slightly. He asked casually: "What is locked inside?"

"We just caught a shark, and this shark is very bad."

Hearing this, the bearded captain didn't say anything more, just left a sentence that he didn't want to cause trouble, and walked away quickly.

Until the evening, the sky was suddenly overcast, and the sudden sea breeze made people subconsciously feel panicked. With a crack of thunder, the sunset and the horizon were echoing each other just now, and in the blink of an eye, it became a sky full of dark clouds, pitch black. The angry waves slammed into the side of the cargo ship. The powerful impact and torque made the metal hull make a creepy creaking sound. This is the climate of the Dark Sea.

The bearded captain pressed his hat brim and shouted against the strong wind: "Skull Island is arriving. That navigation light over there is it."

The bearded captain pointed to the distance. Under the pitch-black sky, one could faintly see the light. That is Pirate Island, or rather, the location of Skull Island, and Skull Island is located on the edge of the Dark Sea.

Su Xiao jumped onto the ship's side and used a high-intensity lighting device to shine on the sea below. Sure enough, the seawater had faintly revealed black. Although the Abyss aura was so faint that it could be ignored, Su Xiao would not perceive this feeling wrong.

When the cargo ship docked at the port of Skull Island, Su Xiao finally knew why it had this name. Around the entire island, various connected white bones were fixed. Some were the skulls of giant sea beasts, some were human skeletons, and some had human skeletons on the upper body and fish bones on the lower body. The coordination of the entire spine from top to bottom made people think that there might be mermaids in the Dark Sea.

The edge of the entire island was full of skeletons. This place is located on the edge of the Dark Sea, which means that this place may be attacked by sea beasts. Over time, this coping strategy has emerged, which is not strange.

After Su Xiao took a small boat to near the pier, he found that there were actually quite a few people dressed as pirates here, most of whom were merchants or coolies. It seems that as long as the benefits are sufficient, even if they deal with fierce pirates, merchants will flock to them.

Su Xiao brought 6500 pirate gold coins this time. The first thing after landing on the island is naturally to buy the best bone ship. As the saying goes, if the sailing luck is not enough, use hard power to make up for it.

But just as Su Xiao walked off the small boat and stepped onto Skull Island, a prompt appeared.

【Prompt: You have entered the Dark Sea. This area is occupied by the Nightmare Lord (Informant).】

【The constant authority of the "Hunting List: Blood Pact" has been triggered. Due to the special situation of the Nightmare Lord (Informant), his bounty is a base of 400 ounces of Space-Time Power. You can complete this hunt in the following situations.】

1. On Skull Island on the edge of the Dark Sea, kill the Nightmare Lord (Informant). This requires you to lead the Nightmare Lord (Informant) to this place yourself. After completing the hunt in this way, you will receive the base bounty, which is 400 ounces of Space-Time Power.

2. In the inner area of the Dark Sea, kill the Nightmare Lord (Informant). This requires you to lead the Nightmare Lord (Informant) to this place yourself. After completing the hunt in this way, you will receive a corrected bounty, totaling 700 ounces of Space-Time Power.

3. On Nightmare Island in the central area of the Dark Sea, kill the Nightmare Lord (Informant). After completing the hunt in this way, you will receive a super-corrected bounty, totaling 1500 ounces of Space-Time Power.
