Chapter 3618

The sky was overcast, and the pier of Skull Island was bustling with noise. The fishy smell of the sea was mixed with the smells of sweat, cigarettes, and alcohol. This place showed a deformed prosperity, but the environment was filthy.

Pirates are pirates. Even if they have become enlightened and understand that trade is safer than looting and gold coins come more stably, they will not consider long-term development. Before this bone pier collapses into the seabed, no one will come to repair it.

Pirates who have the funds and means to repair the bone pier are more willing to invest money in their own industries in the Alliance or the Saint Lan Kingdom, rather than repairing this bone pier that they don't know who will rob tomorrow.

Arriving at the street of the port, Su Xiao found that the buildings on both sides of the street were mostly two-story or three-story buildings. By evening, most of the shop-type buildings had a lantern hanging on the door head.

"Bai Ye, meet at the hotel later. I'm going to find a friend to see if he is willing to accompany us."

While Platinum Bishop was speaking, he also dragged the Red-Eyed Woman away from the grilled fish skewer stall.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, just threw a large money bag full of pirate gold coins to Platinum Bishop. There were 100 pirate gold coins in it. This time, Platinum Bishop, Red-Eyed Woman, and Beast Knight were willing to go to Nightmare Island together. On the way, he certainly wouldn't let these three be short of money.

Su Xiao had always had a question he couldn't figure out. With the strength of Platinum Bishop, Red-Eyed Woman, and Beast Knight, even if they couldn't be particularly rich, they shouldn't be so short of money. The three seemed to be completing something, and that thing was very expensive.

Walking on the somewhat muddy street, although Su Xiao had just arrived at Skull Island, he still knew something about this place. There were two forces on the island: the Chamber of Commerce and the Beast Hunting Family.

The so-called Beast Hunting Family was not gathered by blood or relatives. All beast hunters on Skull Island were members of the Beast Hunting Family. The reason why they could compete with the Chamber of Commerce was their combat power. They had been deep into the Dark Sea for many years to fight sea beasts, which made them not afraid of life and death, and also had fierce combat experience that made people tongue-tied.

The trend of Skull Island now is that pirates have gradually declined, and the Beast Hunting Family is rising rapidly. Although the business they do is dangerous, it is self-reliance, and as long as the beast hunter does not die in the Dark Sea, the Beast Hunting Family will provide protection in their later years.

This is also why Su Xiao didn't see many pirates on the pier before.

Night fell quietly. When Su Xiao arrived at the hotel in the port town, just after pushing the door, noisy arguments and laughter came. Along with it was the mixed smell of alcohol and food aroma.

Looking at the entire hotel, there were only a few down-and-out pirates drinking sullen wine in the corner. Those sitting around the table, drinking and drinking, were all members of the Beast Hunting Group.

After Su Xiao and the others pushed the door and entered, the voices of the guests on the first floor of the hotel became much smaller. More than 90% of the members of the Beast Hunting Group just held their wine glasses and sat there motionless. They had been fighting sea beasts for many years and had developed sharper perception. However, this also had disadvantages. When they were too close to Su Xiao, they would feel the danger of their hair standing on end.

Su Xiao stepped on the creaking wooden stairs to go upstairs. After a while, the first floor returned to the liveliness just now.

A pirate sitting in the corner picked up a wooden wine glass and drank the wine in it, even sticking out his tongue and pausing the wine glass, not letting go of a drop of wine. This is a pirate. After getting a lot of gold coins, he drinks half a bottle and throws away half a bottle. After a period of time when he has no money, he will not let go of every drop of wine and every bite of food he can get.

This sloppy-looking pirate looked at the corridor at the end of the wooden steps. His eyes, which faintly revealed purple light, made people feel ominous. His hand reached into his sleeve and touched the tattoo inside. That was the symbol he was once proud of, the symbol of the Angry Shark Pirate Group.

This pirate got up and left the hotel. At the same time, on the third floor of the hotel, in the guest room where Su Xiao was temporarily staying, Su Xiao, who was meditating on the bed, opened his eyes and looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang on the side.

No verbal communication was needed; Xiang Bubu had already understood.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, blended into the environment, and went to track the enemy.

Su Xiao took out ring-sized circular rings one by one, used spirit shadow threads to hang these dozen or so rings, letting them hang naturally, and they could swing and collide with each other with a slight breeze.

However, even if these metal rings, which faintly revealed purple light, collided, they would not make a sound. This thing was not produced in the material world; it was made of materials from the nightmare area.

This was the material Su Xiao obtained in the World of Painting, a world that was almost swallowed by the nightmare area.

Su Xiao threw the remaining metal ring in his hand into his mouth and bit it with his teeth. This is the characteristic of the Nightmare Sound, which cannot be transmitted through the air of the material world, but can be transmitted through bone conduction.

Metal rings hung above Su Xiao. Su Xiao, who was sitting on the bed, continued to meditate. He had asked Dre, Silver Face, and Veronica to contact the local Beast Hunting Group to buy a three-masted bone ship with a reward of 3000–5000 gold coins, so as to go deep into the center of the Dark Sea and arrive at Nightmare Island.

Through the prompt just now, Su Xiao had determined that the Nightmare King was the informant. Now he had three choices: lead the Nightmare King over and kill the other party on Skull Island. This is the most time-consuming, and the success rate is not high. The advantage is that the combat risk is low.

A more dangerous one is to fight the Nightmare King after going deep into the Dark Sea. Under such a premise, winning will correct the bounty of the hunting list to 700 ounces of Space-Time Power.

The most dangerous is to board Nightmare Island, which is the Nightmare King's lair. Killing him in his lair will get 1500 ounces of Space-Time Power. This bounty is already on par with the traitor.

It can be determined that the Nightmare King on Nightmare Island must have a significant strength bonus, so much so that the Nightmare King on Nightmare Island should be more difficult to deal with than the traitor.

The reason for saying this is based on the judgment of balance. No matter where the traitor is, he is a stable 1500 ounces of Space-Time Power bounty. This is the embodiment of strength. And the Nightmare King is only worth 1500 ounces of Space-Time Power on Nightmare Island.

In other words, one is strong anywhere, and the other is instantly weak after leaving Nightmare Island. Therefore, the Nightmare King must be outrageously strong on Nightmare Island to be worth 1500 ounces of Space-Time Power.

When Su Xiao meditated until the second half of the night, he suddenly heard the crisp clinking sound of metal collision. This sound was both ethereal and had a bit of eeriness.

Su Xiao opened his eyes, and while releasing all the spirit shadow threads in the room, he grabbed with one hand and held all the fallen metal rings in his hand. The big fish had taken the bait.

Su Xiao spat out the metal ring in his mouth and flicked his thumb. This metal ring silently sank into the wooden wall on the side. Because it was close to the nightmare, the purple light on this metal ring was more obvious. Very good, the shark next door had probably had his spirit dragged into a nightmare.

No matter what, this shark was once one of the Four Sea Kings. Even if he had been locked in the asylum for a long time, his ruthlessness and decisiveness would not be easily worn away. As long as there was a slight chance, this shark would bite hard.

Su Xiao brought this shark, not intending to let him be the navigator at the beginning. But right now, this shark could serve this position very well, and with this navigator, the journey would definitely be safe.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang appeared quietly and barked low, meaning that the pirate it was tracking suddenly disappeared, and it wasn't a teleportation or anything, but suddenly its aura and everything disappeared.

Su Xiao already understood what the situation was. It seemed that he had just arrived at Skull Island, but in reality, the enemy's means had already struck. In the room next door, the sleeping Angry Shark was nine times out of ten in a nightmare realm and had defected to a powerful existence.

As for who that powerful existence was, there was no need to think about it; it must be the Nightmare King.

Because of this, Su Xiao determined that the journey to Nightmare Island would be unusually smooth. What can be determined right now is that although the Nightmare King is powerful, he cannot control the sea beasts in the Dark Sea. Otherwise, a large group of sea beasts would have attacked.

In other words, if the Nightmare King could control all the sea beasts here, these sea beasts would be equal to the power controlled by the Nightmare King, and he would not allow the existence of the Beast Hunting Group.

After first excluding this worst situation, the next thing is much easier to handle. And the fact that Angry Shark was turned against by the Nightmare King in a nightmare is what Su Xiao wanted to see. To be precise, he brought Angry Shark here to deliberately let the enemy turn this pirate against him.

There is no need to think about it. Angry Shark, who was once one of the Four Sea Kings, must have some connection with the Nightmare King. Skull Island is located on the edge of the Dark Sea. As one of the pirate kings here in the past, whether Angry Shark is willing or not, he must have some connection with the Nightmare King, more or less.

Now that Su Xiao has entered the Dark Sea, he basically determined that the Nightmare King on Nightmare Island has already sensed his arrival. This is determined by the prompt of Reincarnation Paradise. In the prompt just now, there was such a line:

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

Su Xiao roughly inferred the Nightmare King's degree of control over this sea area from this prompt, but this is only a preliminary guess. What really made him determine that the Nightmare King already knew he came here was because of the metal ring just now.

Because these metal rings come from the nightmare area, once there is the aura of a nightmare or the ability of nightmare characteristics around, these metal rings, like metal attracted by a magnet, will react, such as floating towards the direction from which the nightmare is invading, and emitting purple light.

Based on this, Su Xiao determined that the room next door was being quietly invaded by a nightmare, and the people living in the room next door were Amu and Angry Shark.

Between the two, who would be turned against by the Nightmare King? There is no need to think about it, or rather, the Nightmare King would not drag Amu into the nightmare realm to avoid exposing this matter.

Angry Shark already had some connection with the Nightmare King, plus Angry Shark's current situation, this is the target the Nightmare King wants to find.

Why did Su Xiao let all this happen? The reason is that he wants to pass through the Dark Sea as quickly as possible and arrive at Nightmare Island.

As one of the traitors, the Nightmare King, after sensing that the Demon-Hunter had come, must first be shocked and angry, then size up and test. After learning that this Demon-Hunter had not fully grown up and still had a gap with the previous Demon-Hunters, may I ask, does the Nightmare King want to find a way to lure this Demon-Hunter to Nightmare Island, and rely on his strength on Nightmare Island to kill this Demon-Hunter, or let this Demon-Hunter retreat temporarily due to the danger of the Dark Sea, and wait until his strength is fully grown before going to Nightmare Island?

The Nightmare King would definitely choose the former, which led to a wonderful scene: the Nightmare King himself hoped that he would arrive at Nightmare Island as soon as possible more than Su Xiao himself.

Under such circumstances, the Nightmare King's choice to turn Angry Shark against him was already an inevitable result, letting Angry Shark serve as a navigator, using a bone ship to carry Su Xiao and the others to Nightmare Island, and solve them all.

Meditation made time pass very quickly. After three o'clock in the second half of the night, the door was knocked. It was Dre. Through the middleman introduced by the old Dean, he finally found a three-masted bone ship. The other party asked for 4600 pirate gold coins and would not bargain.

"Buy it, set off in half an hour."

"Understood."

Dre and Silver Face left with travel bags full of pirate gold coins. If there were no accidents, the transaction would be completed here in half an hour at most. Buying a ship on Skull Island is very simple; just give money.

Su Xiao took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang out of the guest room and came to the room next door. He found that there was no nightmare residue here. It seems that the Nightmare King is very cautious.

"Angry Shark, prepare to go to sea."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the just-awakened Angry Shark showed some anger in his eyes. It can only be said that this guy's acting skills are very good. If he showed too much obedience at this time, it would be easy to arouse suspicion. After all, he is a pirate.

"Dean Bai Ye, it is now three o'clock in the second half of the night. Are you planning to set sail for the Dark Sea at this time? If so, you'd better send me back to the asylum. I don't want to die yet."

Angry Shark picked up a bottle of water and gulped it down.

"Wait here, someone will pick you up in 10 minutes."

Leaving this sentence, Su Xiao walked out of the room. He was making the final determination. He would not bet everything on his own inference. Compared with inference, the enemy's unavoidable actions are the most accurate way to measure a thing.

Just as Su Xiao was about to walk out the door, Angry Shark, whose eyelids were trembling, turned anger into laughter and said: "Dean Bai Ye, isn't this for the safety of all of us? The Dark Sea is more dangerous at night than during the day. We have to sail for at least five days. If we can avoid the night, we should avoid it. It is safe to set sail when it is morning."

"What did you say?"

Su Xiao, who stopped at the door, looked at Angry Shark sideways.

"I said wait until morning to set sail."

"The sentence before that."

"Oh, we have to take at least five days to get to Nightmare Island. Dean Bai Ye, the cargo ship we took when we came was produced by the Alliance. That thing is much faster than a sailboat, so it only took one day to get to Skull Island. If it were an ordinary cargo ship, it would take at least three days."

Angry Shark mentioned the ship, and his eyes were more energetic.

"It will take five days..."

Su Xiao turned and returned to the guest room to sit down. Seeing Su Xiao frowning, Angry Shark felt ominous in his heart.

"If we take a cargo ship back to the Alliance tomorrow morning, we can return by evening."

Su Xiao's words made Angry Shark's heart almost tremble.

"Since it takes five days to sail, then don't be in a hurry to deal with the Nightmare King. Go back and deal with other enemies first. Baha, contact the cargo ship, tell them we are going back tomorrow morning, and let them name the price."

"Understood, I'll do it right away."

"Dean Bai Ye, what are you doing?"

Angry Shark was a bit confused. He felt that this Dean of the asylum was somewhat mentally ill. He just did whatever he thought of. He had already arrived at Skull Island, but he was going back? Temporarily not going to Nightmare Island? How can this be? He had made a contract with the Nightmare King in the nightmare realm. If he didn't go there...

Seeing Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang leave the guest room, Angry Shark sat on the head of the bed, looking like nothing had anything to do with him and he was going to continue sleeping. In fact, he was going to enter the nightmare realm to find the Nightmare King and ask how to deal with this matter. That Demon-Hunter changed his mind halfway and was not going to Nightmare Island.

One hour later.

Knock knock knock~

The hotel door was knocked. In the guest room, Su Xiao, who was meditating, opened his eyes. After Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang opened the door, he found that it was Angry Shark under Amu's watch.

Angry Shark walked into the room and sat down calmly. He paused for a few seconds and said: "Dean Bai Ye, actually I have always kept a secret. The reason why I was able to become one of the Four Sea Kings is because I..."

"Cut the crap, get straight to the point."

Su Xiao, who was meditating, still kept his eyes closed, maintaining a slight state of meditation.

"I have a special route and a special way of sailing. Give me one day, one day, and I will take you to Nightmare Island."

"Name your price."

"Hahaha, Dean Bai Ye is still straightforward. After going back, transfer me from the third floor of the dungeon to the first floor."

"Can do."

Su Xiao opened his eyes. He knew that the Nightmare King was starting to sit still when he heard he was going to give up this voyage.

Angry Shark asked tentatively: "Then we set sail this morning?"

"Now."

"It's up to you, then set sail now."

Angry Shark spoke with a fake smile, deliberately showing the arrogance he once had as a pirate.

When the sky was still pitch black, Su Xiao and the others rushed to the pier. Unfortunately, the friend Platinum Bishop found refused the invitation to this long voyage. According to Platinum Bishop, his friend was a fortune teller.

On the pier, Su Xiao looked at the three-masted bone ship in front. This ship was black as a whole. The whole ship was made of sea beast bones. The keel of the ship was made of the spine of a medium-sized sea beast. The hull was composed of bone plates. The ship had no lower cabin, only a deck and a captain's room. The lower cabin was filled with a resin that had sufficient buoyancy after solidification to ensure the ship's buoyancy.

Jumping onto the bone ship, Su Xiao felt the ferocity of this ship. Although it didn't have the feeling of the former Doom, this ship could no longer be considered a complete dead object.

With a whoosh, the sails were hoisted. The dozen or so members of the Beast Hunting Group hired skillfully hoisted the sails and set sail. After sailing away from the near sea of Skull Island, on the deck, Su Xiao looked at Angry Shark who was steering.

"Captain, I said before, there is no need to hire sailors, and there is no need to use sails. Unfortunately, you didn't believe me. I am going to summon my partner now. I hope you don't misunderstand. If you want to get to Nightmare Island in one day, you must rely on my partner."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, letting Angry Shark play freely. Seeing this, Angry Shark stained some seawater that splashed on the ship's side, drew on the deck with seawater, and a moment later, Angry Shark tapped the ring shackles on his neck with his fingers and said: "Captain, lift some of the restrictions on my abilities, otherwise I can't summon my partner."

"..."

Su Xiao let Baha do it. Baha flew forward, eagle claws adjusted the ring shackles on Angry Shark's neck, and adjusted the ring shackles that were at full power to 70% power.

An aura like that from the deep sea was released from Angry Shark. He smiled and showed his full mouth of shark teeth, moving his neck, and then, he pressed one hand on the circular ritual drawn by seawater.

Thud~

An invisible impact spread out. A few minutes later, the seawater beside the bone ship bulged. Some behemoth was about to come up from the seabed. After careful observation, it was found that the one swimming up was a giant shark. Any whale compared to it was just a small fish.

"Old partner, long time no see."

Angry Shark threw down a large number of ropes tied to the bow of the ship. One minute later, the whole ship suddenly moved forward, and then began to be dragged to sail at high speed.

"Captain, I said, I won't let you down. What we need to do next is to ensure that my old partner is not attacked. This is a bit difficult..."

With a thud, Amu jumped into the sea. Under Angry Shark's surprised gaze, he swam forward and dived into the sea after a while.

Ten minutes later, a large area of blood floated on the sea ahead. After the bone ship sailed past at high speed, these bloodstains attracted a large number of sea beasts, which snatched the sea beast whose head was chopped off by Amu.

After sailing for an hour, the whole bone ship suddenly tilted, and a black shadow swept past from diagonally below the ship. Su Xiao, who was meditating on the ship's mast, opened his eyes and pointed diagonally below. A large amount of blood energy gathered and compressed at his fingertips, causing his fingertips to reveal blood light.

Boom!!

The blood smoke cannon bombarded into the seawater diagonally below. The seawater was splashed. After the bone ship sailed past, the broken sea beast flesh floated up.

Sensing that more and more sea beasts were attacking, Su Xiao no longer restrained his aura. Blood energy was released. From then on, no sea beasts attacked again. The sea beasts were just violent, not wanting to die.

The sky of the Dark Sea was always pitch black. After Su Xiao, Platinum Bishop, Red-Eyed Woman, Beast Knight, Amu, Baha, and Silver Face all released their respective auras, the ten-hour voyage did not encounter a single sea beast.

When the speed of the bone ship slowed down, Su Xiao jumped down from the ship's mast: "Angry Shark, let your partner retreat, retreat to tens of kilometers away, otherwise it will be dinner today."

Hearing this, Angry Shark released spiritual fluctuations. Ahead is Nightmare Island. The island shrouded in ghost-purple thick fog is close at hand. There is no longer a need for a giant shark to pull the ship.

"Angry Shark, you have 10 seconds to tell me the content of your cooperation with the Nightmare King, and everything you know about the Nightmare King."

Su Xiao took out the timer and pressed the timing key.

"You, what do you mean, I cooperate with the Nightmare King? If you want to kill me, just say it. There is no need to make these excuses..."

Time was up. Su Xiao pressed the pause key of the timer. Seeing this, Amu picked up the Dragon Heart Axe, and Silver Face and Veronica pressed Angry Shark on the deck.

Amu stopped beside Angry Shark. Holding the axe handle with both hands, it raised the long-handled battle axe over its head and chopped it down. This was to chop off Angry Shark's head.

"Wait!"

Angry Shark shouted, but Amu didn't pay attention at all. But the next moment, the battle axe that had chopped into a small part of Angry Shark's neck stopped suddenly, and the axe blade made a sharp light sound. The reason why Amu stopped was because Su Xiao raised his hand.

"I'll say! I'll say!"

Angry Shark, with wide eyes, gasped for breath. He knew very well that this was really going to chop off his head just now, without any hesitation.

"The Nightmare King found me through a nightmare and asked me to bring you to the island and then get rid of you all."

"Continue?"

Su Xiao tapped the Dragon Heart Axe with his fingertips, and Amu raised the Dragon Heart Axe.

"That's all, nothing else. He found me last night."

Angry Shark swallowed his saliva. Death was too close to him just now.

"Then you are useless, Amu, chop it."

Su Xiao walked toward the island, and Amu raised the Dragon Heart Axe again.

"Wait... wait a minute! I also know the Nightmare King's weakness."

Angry Shark's words made Su Xiao's plan completely settled. He looked at the island where the ghost-purple thick fog spread. In this battle, he had a 90% chance of winning.

"Only I and another Four Sea King know about this. Actually, we were able to climb to this position because we have done things for the Nightmare King before. He is the master of this sea area, especially on Nightmare Island. No one can kill him."

"Fart, we can even kill Abyss Growths."

Baha spoke. Hearing this, Angry Shark explained: "On Nightmare Island, the Nightmare King will stay in the nightmare domain. This domain cannot be broken from the front. This is a domain similar to a contract or restriction. Although it cannot be broken from the front, there are three boundary stones that absolutely cannot be brought into the nightmare domain. You have to smash these three boundary stones on the island to temporarily disperse this nightmare domain. A few hours later, the nightmare domain and the boundary stones will re-condense. This is the main reason why the Nightmare King is powerful on Nightmare Island."

After Angry Shark finished these words, he sighed and lowered his head in resignation, with an attitude of killing if he wanted to.

"So, you know the approximate location of these three boundary stones?"

"Only know the approximate direction. Of course, you can not believe what I said."

At the end of the speech, Angry Shark sneered in self-mockery.

"Where are the approximate locations of the three boundary stones."

Su Xiao picked up the lantern on the ship. This is the key to winning this battle.

"At..."

While Angry Shark was talking, he drew the approximate terrain of Nightmare Island with water. A few minutes later, Su Xiao looked at this simple map and said:

"Platinum Bishop, Red-Eyed, you are responsible for the first one. Luo De, Silver Face, Knight, you are responsible for the second one. Amu, Baha, you two are responsible for the third one. Xiang Bubu, Veronica, you two come with me to the center of the island to deal with the Nightmare King."

Su Xiao's distribution is very reasonable. The three teams going to destroy the boundary stones all have enough strength, and his fourth team dealing with the Nightmare King has melee and ranged, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang as an assistant.

"You, come with me."

Su Xiao glanced at Angry Shark, jumped off the ship first, and walked into the ghost-purple thick fog. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang followed behind him, further behind was Angry Shark, and finally Veronica. As long as Angry Shark had any suspicious actions, she would give this guy a shot directly.

The ghost-purple thick fog spread around, the environment was cold and humid, and there was a sense of eeriness, which made Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang behind Su Xiao a bit panicked.

Deep into Nightmare Island for nearly an hour, Su Xiao didn't encounter any enemies until more than two hours later, when a giant door with a strong nightmare aura blocked the way. Inside here, it should be the nightmare domain Angry Shark mentioned.

Crack, crack...

Cracks appeared on the giant door, representing that one team had smashed a boundary stone. Su Xiao waited in front of the giant door. More than half an hour later, the giant door was full of cracks and was on the verge of collapsing. At most a few seconds, this giant door would collapse.

The wick in the lantern flickered and went out. Seeing this, Su Xiao pulled up the lampshade, took out half a candle, lit it, put it in the lantern, and lowered the lampshade.

The lighting effect of the candlelight was very average, even a bit dim. Seeing this, Su Xiao raised the lantern in his hand and said to Angry Shark on the side: "Carry it."

Angry Shark took the lantern smoothly, but his eyes were always fixed on the giant door in front.

Boom!

The giant door collapsed, representing that all three boundary stones were smashed. But the next second, the nightmare domain behind the giant door suddenly spread, covering Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Veronica. What's more fatal is that after this nightmare domain expanded, it immediately closed, isolated from the outside world. Even if Platinum Bishop and others rushed to support, they couldn't enter here.

In the ghost-purple fog ahead, a tall phantom walked over. This is the Nightmare King.

"You came to die, Demon-Hunter."

When saying this, the Nightmare King's voice was a bit happy. For so many years, he had been worried about the appearance of a new Demon-Hunter and coming to him for revenge. Today, all this will be solved.

With a bang, a muffled sound came from two meters beside Su Xiao. It was Angry Shark jumping out sideways. In mid-air, he tore the ring shackles on his neck, tearing them to pieces. This guy had long broken free from the shackles.

After Angry Shark, who was far away from Su Xiao, landed, he wanted to throw away the lantern in his hand, but he found that a large number of energy threads appeared on the lantern, firmly wrapping it on his hand.

"You... behind you!!"

The Nightmare King in the ghost-purple thick fog suddenly shouted.

Angry Shark, holding the lantern, stood stiffly in place. Two pitch-black and slender fingernails, slender and pale hands, reached out from both sides of his neck.

Crack!

Angry Shark's head was twisted 180°, which made him see what kind of existence was behind him.

A female face that was pale to the extreme appeared in front of him. The red lips of this face were red to the point of being creepy. The two eye sockets were pitch black, with long black hair draped, and a gorgeous white long coat with bloodstains. This is, Candle Woman.

The moment he made eye contact with Candle Woman, the scene in front of Angry Shark changed. He found himself dragged into a lake of corpse water, in which there were human heads. The human heads near him were like piranhas attracted by the smell of blood, gnawing on his body.

What's more terrifying is that Angry Shark felt his body regenerating rapidly, and then being gnawed. This pain lasted for 1 minute, 10 minutes, 1 day, 10 days, 1 year, 10 years...

Angry Shark's eyes suddenly regained their luster. Everything just now seemed to be an illusion, but the pain that erupted all over his body caused his body to crack like porcelain.

Candle Woman's long black hair spread toward Angry Shark. Angry Shark's expression was terrified to the extreme. The next second, he was covered by the long black hair. Creepy chewing sounds came from the long black hair. Along with it was Angry Shark's sharp scream. It is hard to imagine that a fierce criminal like him would have such a shrill scream.

Why would this happen? Because just now, what Su Xiao lit and put into the lantern was:

【Half-melted Fat Candle】

Origin: Void Rift

Category: Alien Item

Effect: After lighting, it attracts Candle Woman.

Introduction: Candle Woman is a Void alien existence. Her existence is accompanied by many mysteries. She wanders in the cracks of the Void. Most Void alien existences are unwilling to contact her. Only existences like Lush Frenzy, Lord of the Old Days, etc., are on par with Candle Woman. Candle Woman is the representative of eeriness. She can appear in all places with candlelight, flames, and burning debris. She has no physical body and is almost indestructible.

Price: Can be sold, can be traded, cannot be destroyed.

From beginning to end, Su Xiao determined one thing, that is, compared to himself, Angry Shark must be more willing to cooperate with the Nightmare King. The reason is that he would not give the other party freedom. He could let Angry Shark be locked on the first floor of the dungeon, but he would never let this criminal go.

Cooperating with the Nightmare King can get the freedom Angry Shark wants most. As for the three boundary stones, this is nonsense. It is because the Nightmare King didn't want to face Su Xiao, Platinum Bishop, and others at the same time that he let Angry Shark come up with this set of rhetoric.

Su Xiao actually wanted to see this situation more than the Nightmare King. He couldn't bring more teammates here. If it weren't for the Nightmare King's suspicion, he wouldn't even be prepared to bring Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Veronica, but would come here alone.

The reason is that if too many people come, the effect of the props he uses will be weakened. This thing was opened from a world-class treasure chest. Although the effect is top-notch, facing Candle Woman, he still needs to be cautious. He, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Veronica using it together will not be a problem. This item is:

"Sacred Candle (one-time item): After lighting, it will disperse darkness, evil spirits, and other existences within a 5-meter radius, and form an absolute sacred protection area with a diameter of 5 meters, lasting until the candle goes out."

Su Xiao held the lit Sacred Candle in his hand. Since the Nightmare King wanted to fool him here so much and fight him one-on-one, he satisfied the other party's wish. It's just that this wish was slightly deviated. The one fighting the other party was not Su Xiao, but the Void alien existence Candle Woman. He hoped that the Nightmare King would be satisfied with this opponent.
