Chapter 3686: Old Friend
Winter Fief, in a small city adjacent to the White Dragon Fief on the north side.
This place was known as Wutie City. Because of its remote location and being between two fiefs, it was under the jurisdiction of two lords, but had no clear ownership. In addition, this place was rich in high-quality mineral veins, which bred a large number of mining and treasure hunters, making this place even more mixed.
Undoubtedly, this was the place the Dark God Sect liked to hide most. In addition, they needed huge funds for various rituals and dark studies, which made this place the largest slave trading center in several surrounding fiefs.
But today, the underground market of Wutie City was dead silent. The gas lamps on the steel frame above were bright, and green thick fog spread along the ground. Everyone in the underground market, whether slave owners, buyers, or slaves waiting to be sold, fell to the ground with tears and snot. Because they were already dead, the painful expression was fixed on their faces.
Hu~, Xi~
A figure wearing exotic beast skin and a homemade gas mask walked in the green fog. The gas mask on his face had some Beast Clan technology, but more was primitive style. Most of the materials used bones and leather, and there was a circle of beast teeth as decoration on the edge.
Although there was no battle in the underground market, blood had spread to a thin layer on the ground. Combined with the green fog flowing like backflow incense, this place gave people a creepy feeling.
With a creak, the large iron door leading to the depths of the underground market was pushed open by the masked old man. That's right, this was Witch Doctor Baze.
Connected to the underground market through a passage full of dead guards was a dark, weird, gloomy church. At this moment, green fog also spread here. Most of the more than 100 Dark God Sect members who were gathering here fell to the ground and died. Some with strong physiques held the seats, and their mouths and noses kept spraying blood. To be precise, they were bleeding from seven orifices.
"Why... why, we, didn't offend... you."
The dying Dark Bishop spoke. His face and head were covered with black patterns, and he had no eyebrows, making him look extremely cold and cruel.
"The thing, where."
Witch Doctor Baze spoke in a deep voice. Hearing this, the bald bishop was both angry and confused. He roared in a low voice: "What thing, what do you want, say it directly beforehand, is it necessary to be like this!"
"..."
Witch Doctor Baze lowered his eyelids, coldly looking down at the bald bishop lying on the ground, still asking in a flat tone: "The thing, where."
"What the hell is it!!"
The bald bishop was about to go crazy, but the next second, a hand covered with totem marks pressed on his face. One by one, sticky, slippery green worms poured into his mouth and nose. A few seconds later, creepy screams and pleas for mercy spread.
Half an hour later, the bald bishop, who had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, tremblingly handed over a wooden box. After Witch Doctor Baze opened it, he saw a small bottle of "Spiritual Extract" sealed inside.
Witch Doctor Baze closed the seal, took out a piece of soft beast skin, wiped the wooden box carefully, and then treasured the wooden box into his arms. Then, he sat on the bench, looking down at the bald bishop lying on the ground, his gaze cruel, as if looking at a crawling insect. He said in a calm voice: "Ask your accomplices for help, right now."
"Wh, what?"
The bald bishop was stunned. For a time, this heinous guy was actually stunned there, and his expression was fixed there until he was beheaded by a familiar and put into a wooden box.
Lord's Manor, study on the third floor.
Click~
The wooden box opened. Su Xiao looked at the head inside. This was sent by one of Witch Doctor Baze's animal familiars. Su Xiao naturally knew whose head this was, but he didn't expect Witch Doctor Baze to take action so quickly.
Looking at the time, it was only 11 PM. Witch Doctor Baze had cleaned up the Dark God Sect so quickly, so Su Xiao naturally had to give a certain amount of sincerity. He went up to the fourth floor, walked into the alchemy laboratory set up during the day, and began to prepare medicine.
To treat Witch Doctor Baze's eldest grandson, just drinking medicine was not enough, but at this stage, drinking a bottle of soul medicine first to strengthen the other party's soul could significantly reduce the pain of the soul being eroded by Abyss energy. The other party had shown enough sincerity, so Su Xiao naturally had to give feedback.
When the three bottles of soul medicine needed were prepared, it was already 1 AM. With nothing to do, Su Xiao took out the two items obtained from dealing with the Evil God faction this time, 【Heart of Wet Flame】 and 【Temple Key】.
The former was the huge heart of the beast-shaped Evil God. As long as you drink the source blood in this heart, you can obtain the "Wet Burning Flame" ability. This flame will ignite the enemy's vitality, continue to burn the enemy, and it is difficult to extinguish until the enemy's vitality is burned out and they die as a dried corpse.
At first glance, this ability was very ordinary, but this power called "Wet Burning Flame" had growth potential. As it burned the enemy's vitality, its power would become stronger and stronger, belonging to permanent power growth. If developed from the first tier, and specifically developed this ability, it would be very terrifying by the ninth tier.
Ignite directly when meeting, and then start to circle with the enemy, waiting for the enemy to burn out their vitality.
Su Xiao felt that if the source blood in the 【Heart of Wet Flame】 was refined, and then a certain amount of space-time power was paid to the Reincarnation Paradise to clearly notarize this profession or bloodline, then this thing could be sold at a high price in the big gathering place.
Before seeing this huge heart, Su Xiao didn't think so much. Because he didn't have the holding right, he couldn't even check its attributes. The main reason for choosing this huge heart was that it was wrapped with thick diaphragm muscle, commonly known as heart-protecting meat. He could let Xia cook it into stir-fried heart-protecting meat when he went back.
After refrigerating and putting away the 【Heart of Wet Flame】, Su Xiao picked up the key on the workbench. The attributes of this key were the most wonderful thing he had ever seen, because:
【Temple Key】
Introduction: This is a key.
Not to mention this ridiculously small data, just this introduction made people feel surprised. This made Su Xiao think of a possibility, that is, this thing was notarized by the Tree of the Void, but not notarized by the Reincarnation Paradise. Because his Tree of the Void credibility was too low, such a fantastic scene would appear after checking its attributes.
Su Xiao carefully observed the patterns on the key and consulted through the Hunter authority, and found that the patterns and ritual style on it were all the style of the Evil God faction in this world. In other words, this key was an item of this world, not from the Tree of the Void.
Why did the Tree of the Void lock the notarization right of this item in an exclusive way? If this was a product from the Tree of the Void, it would make sense. The problem was that this was this world, that is, the local item of the Wind Sea Continent.
Under what circumstances would this situation occur? War mission? This world would not have a clear war mission, because all faction missions in this world were actually war missions.
It was not a war mission, so it was a competition mission and a world mission. The former probability was not high. This world had leaderboard notarization, and issuing competition missions again was somewhat superfluous.
Excluding this, only the world mission remained. Thinking of this, Su Xiao became interested. He didn't have time to execute world missions, which were all large missions of at least 7~8 rings. But he thought, was this 【Temple Key】 the core mission item of this world mission? Or even, so important that without this mission item, this world mission could not continue.
Thinking about it this way, the person or people who didn't get the mission core item should be quite anxious now. World missions were simply hard to come by.
Su Xiao opened the world communication platform, issued a sale message, and hung the photo of 【Temple Key】 on it. Among dozens of sale messages, this message was not obvious.
Su Xiao didn't know who was executing the world mission. Since that was the case, let the willing take the bait. He didn't believe that the world mission triggerer could always hold back and not come to buy this key.
With nothing to do, Su Xiao opened the fief list to check if the fief evaluation had improved. But who would have thought that the fief evaluation didn't improve, but the number of legions in the fief changed from 6 to 7. Checking the details, he found that at this stage, Ergeyin commanded 3 legions, Harvey commanded 2, Viper commanded 2, and Echi was assassinated by the Sea Clan Elder Council and had died.
They had only arrived at the main battlefield for half a night and had an encounter with the Sea Clan legion, and such a big change had occurred.
And in the battle records of the legion, the Winter Fief's legion was simply ridiculously powerful. Just after arriving at the main battlefield, the two legions led by Ergeyin were surrounded by five legions of the Sea Clan. This was obviously to give Ergeyin, who had just arrived at the main battlefield, a head-on blow.
The combat power of the Winter Legion was originally at the upper-middle level of the Beast Clan faction. Now with the high bonus of the War Lord and the gain of the bacteria blanket spread after the war started, Ergeyin led two legions to fight back and forth with the Sea Clan's five legions and always occupied the upper hand. When Viper brought people to reinforce, Ergeyin had already beaten back the enemy's five legions.
Compared to this, the reinforcing Viper and Echi were even more outrageous. This reinforcement without a war directly sent away Echi, one of the legion leaders.
Echi died quite unjustly. With a fierce general like Ergeyin appearing on the main battlefield, the Sea Clan naturally had to find a way to clear him immediately. Ergeyin's first battle was to beat the Sea Clan's five legions with two legions. In the end, he not only beat back the Sea Clan's five legions but also gathered two and a half collapsed Beast Clan legions, combined them into one, and included them under his command.
Such a fierce general, the Sea Clan Elder Council learned the news that night and sent assassins. Originally, this assassin came to assassinate Ergeyin, but who knew that Ergeyin lived directly in the collective camp after drinking that night. The assassin was not stupid, so how could he dare to enter the collective camp where hundreds of big boss-level Beast Clans lived together? But the assassin upheld the philosophy of coming anyway, so he assassinated Echi who lived in the leader's camp.
When Ergeyin woke up in the sound of the horn and rushed to Echi's camp at the fastest speed, seeing the murdered Echi, Ergeyin was so 'sad' that he held back and didn't laugh out loud. Echi was dead, and the legion under his command would obviously not be transferred back to Twilight Winter City. In other words, this legion was either under Ergeyin's command or commanded by Harvey or Viper.
In the end, Harvey restrained Ergeyin, and Viper took the opportunity to gather this legion under his command. Regarding this, Viper was both terrified and had to do so. He was a bit afraid of Ergeyin, but even more afraid of Ergeyin constantly growing and swallowing him in one bite. This was the main battlefield, and their lord was far away in Twilight Winter City. The chain that had been tying Ergeyin had already been untied.
Seeing this legion information, Su Xiao frowned. After Ergeyin arrived at the main battlefield, it could be said that his rebellion was growing wildly. But the good news was that because the Winter Fief had been notarized, all changes in the Winter Fief's legions and the events performed would appear as text prompts in the fief information records, and some important events were accompanied by graphic information, and even videos that could be watched.
Trying to directly restrain Ergeyin himself was not wise. At the main battlefield, he really had to rely on this traitor. Although Harvey was loyal, he couldn't be the backbone of the legion. Although Viper had ability, his style was too much of a wallflower.
In the current situation, Su Xiao was not worried about Ergeyin making any moths. It was already late, so he went to sleep after returning to the bedroom. When the first ray of morning sun passed through the curtain gap, it was already 9 AM.
Su Xiao got up and sat on the bed in a daze for a while, then opened the fief information to check. The next second, his gaze was no longer dazed, but a bit solemn, because the legions under the Winter Fief had changed from 7 to 8. Opening the detailed data, sure enough, the legions commanded by Ergeyin had changed from 3 to 4.
Su Xiao used the fief authority to open the virtual map of the main battlefield, and then found that the four legions led by Ergeyin were currently located in the central area of the main battlefield. Judging from the large red dots on the map, this guy was fighting fiercely with seven Sea Clan legions.
Even more outrageous was that the location of his own Winter Legion obviously represented it becoming one of the several main legions of the Beast Clan faction. Unlike the steadiness of the War Bear Legion, the steady-and-steady approach of the Steel Feather Legion, and the immovability of the Iron Pattern Legion, his own Winter Legion was completely a carnivore, aggressive and fierce.
Other people's legions were pushing forward steadily after the war started, while his own legion, while fighting, pulled the formation into a cone shape because of the heavy cavalry of the Horse Clan, which was very fierce.
While Su Xiao was checking the main battlefield map, the bedroom door was knocked urgently. After opening the door, the Spotted Fox Clan Pilu walked in quickly, lowered his voice and said: "My lord, it's not good. Ergeyin is privately recruiting legions under other lords on the main battlefield. Now several lords' executive officers have come to ask us for an explanation."
"Let Fenris deal with it."
Su Xiao knew that Pilu was not very good at dealing with such things, while City Lord Fenris was very good at this aspect.
Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, Su Xiao was in a good mood. The lords who lost their legions didn't come to find him in person, which already explained one point, that is, those parties didn't want to fall out with his side.
When did the Beast Clan lords become so cowardly? Obviously, those lords didn't become cowardly for no reason. Without thinking, it must be that they had seen the power of the bacteria blanket and came here to test what the bacteria blanket was.
Just as Su Xiao was pondering this matter, the communicator on the bedside table vibrated. After picking it up, he found it was Great Commander Kain. After hesitating for a while, Su Xiao didn't pick up the communicator, but took the communicator downstairs and sat down in the restaurant on the second floor.
Arriving at the restaurant, Su Xiao found that little lord Gu'erwei was eating breakfast. After sitting in the main seat, he looked at Gu'erwei without saying a word, which made Gu'erwei gradually lower her head, her eating movements getting smaller and smaller, and finally muttered in a low voice: "I will never get up at 10 o'clock for breakfast again."
Hearing this, Su Xiao withdrew his gaze. He instructed the maid beside him: "Get me some brea... lunch."
Hearing this, Gu'erwei was stunned. She wanted to say something, but because she was inexplicably afraid of Su Xiao, she could only eat the breakfast on the plate harder. But not long after, her mood improved, because she had a new friend.
As for who Gu'erwei's new friend was, it was not Xian Lulu, but Jira in the mother nest under the castle. I don't know how these two became friends. Now Gu'erwei's favorite thing to do was to listen to Jira tell her stories. Although those stories were a bit scary, Gu'erwei loved to listen to them. But I don't know why, Gu'erwei always felt that those stories Jira told, about swallowing almost all the giant beasts or strong enemies in a world, were told as if they were true.
Su Xiao was eating lunch when the communicator beside his hand rang again. He waited for a few seconds before picking it up. Great Commander Kain on the other side said: "Bai Ye, several lords complained to me, saying that the generals under your command swallowed the legions under their command. Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, absolutely true."
Su Xiao not only didn't refute but admitted it in an extremely firm tone, which made Kain on the opposite side silent for a few seconds, then turned to not mention this matter directly, and said: "I know you come from that side, and there are some means I can't understand, but we are all in the same boat now. Good things should be shared."
Although Great Commander Kain didn't say it clearly, the general meaning was that Su Xiao came from the Paradise faction and had many means. It was best to share the bacteria blanket he took out this time so that all Beast Clan legions could use this thing to improve their combat power.
Although Su Xiao really wanted to see this scene, that was a huge amount of evolution point income, but he couldn't do it immediately, so he asked 'suspiciously': "What good things? Kain, say it directly if you have something to say."
"Then I'll say it directly. Is the kind of fungal lichen used by the legions under your command able to improve the combat power of the legions?"
"Oh, that's a non-slip bacteria blanket."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Kain on the opposite side was speechless for a few seconds, but still said with a smile: "But I heard that the bacteria blanket will climb onto the seriously injured and help the seriously injured recover from their injuries. In the melee last night, a soldier of the War Bear Legion fell on the bacteria blanket. He said that he could strongly feel that the bacteria blanket was treating him, and standing on the bacteria blanket, he ran faster, his vitality was stronger, and his physical strength recovered faster, more than 30% faster than usual."
"There is such a thing? I'll test it later, but I guess this should be an illusion. The bacteria blanket is just used for non-slip."
Su Xiao still insisted on the original statement. Great Commander Kain on the opposite side took the conversation: "Being able to be non-slip is actually quite good. Why not send me a few bags of bacteria blankets? It is said that the thing is just a big ball on weekdays, which is quite convenient to carry."
"Of course, one month later, I will have someone send the bacteria blanket to Eternal Ring City."
Hearing this, Great Commander Kain was angered to the point of being speechless for a few seconds. He naturally knew that one month later, it was not certain whether Su Xiao would still be in the Wind Sea Continent.
"I have urgent matters here, let's talk later."
Su Xiao hung up the communication and continued to enjoy his lunch. The bacteria blanket could not be rushed. If it was taken out too early, more than half of the more than 100 Beast Clan lords would maintain a skeptical attitude and study the origin of the bacteria blanket.
Once those lords and the Beast King discovered that Su Xiao had summoned the War Zerg to this world, he would become the target of public criticism. Conversely, holding the bacteria blanket tightly now, letting those lords ask for it in various ways, and finally making a scene to the Beast King, and under the Beast King's order, Su Xiao reluctantly took out the bacteria blanket, more than 90% of those more than 100 Beast Clan lords would dare to use the bacteria blanket for the legions under their command.
The bacteria blanket would absorb the soul energy drifting after the death of living beings and store it, and then it would be converted into evolution points by the mother nest. Imagine, when more than 90% of the legions in the Beast Clan faction use the bacteria blanket, how many evolution points can his side obtain every day?
With the situation developing to this extent, Su Xiao felt much more relaxed. Later, he would wait for the Beast King to take action and put pressure on his side. Therefore, he could consider going to the territory of the tribal faction later to deal with the Soul Reaper and deal with the transcendent spellcaster on the Sea Clan side.
Su Xiao could single-handedly deal with the Soul Reaper, but facing the transcendent spellcaster, he must besiege. Furthermore, he was about to go to the territory of the tribal faction, and it was inevitable that he would be targeted by the tribe's warlocks, witch doctors, etc. At this time, finding some 'teammates' to go together was an excellent choice.
It was a pity that the two good teammates were not there, but Su Xiao thought that besides Witch Doctor Baze this time, he could also find the priest to go to the tribal faction together.
Since he first entered this world, Su Xiao felt that the priest was too quiet, so quiet that he felt a little uneasy. Before in the Sun Holy Land Qiliyad and the Tree Life World, Su Xiao was secretly schemed by the priest twice. Now in the Wind Sea Continent, the familiar feeling came again. That guy, the priest, had a high probability of holding back evil in the dark.
How to deal with the priest? Kill the other party? Not feasible, he couldn't be killed at all. Guard against the other party at all times? This old guy could survive a whole world progress, and then stand out at the last moment, he couldn't be guarded against at all. The best way to deal with the priest was to form a temporary team with him. Once he was too close, the lethality of the other party's plan would be greatly reduced.
Moreover, the priest did have strength and was an excellent teammate to go to the tribal faction territory, which could greatly share the hatred value from the tribe.
As for how to invite the priest to join the team, this still needed Caesar's assistance. Su Xiao took out a soul coin and flicked it up with a ding. Before it landed, a hand had already caught it. Caesar had already set coordinates in this castle before. Coming to this place was truly a matter of an instant.
"My dear friend, do you want me to help you deal with the Dark God Sect?"
"No, I want you to help me invite the priest to join the team."
Hearing this, Caesar was a bit confused. He couldn't think of any way to lure the priest who was hiding in the dark out.
Su Xiao opened the legend leaderboard and displayed his -??? legend degree.
"Contractors cannot transfer legend degree to contractors, but contractors might be able to transfer legend degree to violators. After all, after the Dawn Paradise fell silent, violators are almost in a non-notarized state."
Su Xiao's words made Caesar's inspiration burst. The reason why Su Xiao thought of this was because the priest was ranked fourth on the "Legend Leaderboard". Among the top five, the ruthless brother, magic sickle Teride, Enzo, and Black Demon were all relatively active in various areas. The ruthless brother was killing on the main battlefield, magic sickle Teride was sneaking into the Sea Clan hinterland, and Water Brother and Black Demon were also on the main battlefield.
Conversely, the priest had not appeared, and was still gaining legend degree at a constant speed. There was a possibility that the priest had gathered multiple violators in this world. They used the incomplete notarization of violators to privately trade all legend degree to the priest. Besides bringing a high ranking, this thing had no other use. It was better to gather them together, let a violator rank high, and after getting the leaderboard reward, all violators involved in this matter would share it.
And in the judgment of the Tree of the Void, this might be allowed, belonging to a certain compensation obtained by the incomplete notarization of violators. No matter what, the Dawn Paradise still existed. Therefore, in the judgment of the Tree of the Void, violators were essentially another type of contractor.
If Su Xiao's guess was true, he might not even need to operate, but could directly transfer the legend degree to the priest. Thinking of this, he tried to transfer 10 legend degrees to the priest.
【Prompt (Tree of the Void): Your legend degree is -???, cannot perform conventional transfer.】
【Detected that the transfer target is a semi-notarized violator, you can perform this transfer, but if the transfer amount is huge, the legend degree held by the transfer target has a high probability of being synchronized to -??? the same as yours.】
After Su Xiao displayed this prompt, he and Caesar looked at each other. At this moment, inspiration burst. It seemed that they had already seen dozens of violators in this world, all of whom became legend degree -??? and were hung at the top of the legend leaderboard.
If the priest didn't agree to form a team this time and wanted to continue to hide in the dark, and when the timing was right, scheme against Su Xiao for the third time, then Su Xiao would transfer 1 million legend degrees to the priest. It could be determined that the priest would immediately rank first, and then the next second, the legend degree would become -???, fall to the last place, and be hung at the top of the legend leaderboard with Su Xiao.
Open the world communication platform, find the priest in the list, Su Xiao tried to contact the other party in text form, the content was as follows:
Bai Ye: "Form a team together, go to the tribal faction side to get some benefits."
Didn't let Su Xiao wait too long, the priest who didn't know where he was replied:
Priest: "Refuse."
The meaning was simple and clear. The priest who was hiding in the dark didn't want to stand out, and didn't choose to be polite. When he schemed against Su Xiao twice before, the priest also had a similar attitude.
This old guy, the priest, must be guarded against. Because he had been schemed twice, when Su Xiao was in the same world as this old guy, if he hadn't heard from the other party for more than ten days, he would start to feel uneasy in his heart. Don't forget, the Necronomicon was transferred by this old guy.
As the saying goes, it is not polite not to return. If the priest didn't want to go to the tribe side with Su Xiao this time to help Su Xiao share the firepower, then as a thank you for the other party's transfer of the Necronomicon, Su Xiao was ready to transfer 1 million legend degrees to the other party this time.
Su Xiao tried to transfer 10 legend degrees to the priest, and it succeeded without any setbacks. It was obvious that the priest had already operated on this aspect, so it was so easy to transfer legend degrees.
Time passed second by second. More than ten seconds later, the priest sent a message, the content was:
Priest: "Old friend, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I was just joking just now. I also plan to go to the tribe side recently. Let's go together." ===== CHAPTER 3687 =====
