Chapter 3712: Squad

~22 min read 4,285 words

Looking at the title prompt in front of him, Su Xiao was speechless for a long time. He always felt that something was wrong with this prompt, but after careful consideration, they were all very normal prompts. This not only didn't make his mood ease but instead made his mood even more rainy.

"How is it? Did it succeed?"

Morey on the side spoke with some expectation.

"Failed."

"Oh, that's a pity. Don't take it too seriously. Everyone has failed in title synthesis. Last time I synthesized a title, the success rate was lower than 20%, and I tried it, but it failed. Sigh? Why don't you speak? By the way, what was the success rate when you synthesized it?"

"9.9%."

"Hahaha, you deserve to fail. It didn't even exceed 10%. Don't take it too seriously. It's just one title. The next second will always be beautiful. Just woke up and so hungry, go get something to eat."

Morey left humming a song. It could be said that Morey was strong to a certain extent, which was inner strength and optimism, although she was a bit silly sometimes.

Su Xiao opened the title column, and two new titles appeared in front of him. One was a commemorative title, and the other was the 【Violator】 title.

【Courageous in Defeat】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise

Category: Title

Title Effect: After wearing this title, your brand number or the code name you have set will manifest on your head and have a brilliant luster.

Prompt: When displaying the brand number or the code name you have set, you can freely switch between the two.

Introduction: You will be the most eye-catching person in the audience.

Price: Can be sold, transferred, burned, etc.

Seeing this thing, Su Xiao's mood turned from cloudy to sunny, because he felt that this thing could be sold. Heaven knows, it might even be sold for a good price.

The target group for this thing was only one, which was the merchants setting up stalls in the large gathering place. Imagine, while strolling through the many stalls in the large gathering place, suddenly there was a guy whose name was actually displayed on his head like an NPC...

Thinking of this, Su Xiao suddenly changed his mind, which was that this title would not be sold to outsiders, but sold to Caesar. Heaven knows, this guy might be able to perform operations that would make people's scalps tingle, such as impersonating a neutral unit?

Imagine a few Ninth-Tier contractors who were trembling and exploring in an Abyss erosion area. Just at this moment, a thin figure wearing an Abyss Jar suddenly walked out from the high-intensity Abyss mist ahead, and that mist was so dangerous that even with over 30 points of Abyss resistance, one would be instantly eroded.

Even more outrageous was that this guy actually had a name on his head, "Nicholas Caesar." Even more outrageous was that this was a name display with a brilliant luster. After seeing this scene, who wouldn't be confused? Let alone Caesar claiming to be a neutral NPC, many people would believe he was a hidden NPC.

Believing Caesar in an Abyss erosion area, if one could leave with a pair of pants, one was already a leader among people. However, there was one point, which was that if one really believed Caesar, although the wallet would wail, the probability of leaving alive would soar by several or dozens of times.

For example, a recovery potion prepared by Caesar, because there was a trace of Corrupt World Power in that potion, drinking it had a high probability of causing severe diarrhea, but under the action of this mutated World Power, there would be a short-lived sub-invincibility effect during the diarrhea.

Caesar's pharmacology had reached a level that made Su Xiao, a master pharmacist, feel confused. He naturally studied the ingredients of Caesar's potion, but ended up analyzing more than a dozen unknown ingredients, and finally felt that continuing to study was of little significance, because Caesar himself couldn't prepare a second bottle identical to this one.

Su Xiao sent the attributes of this title to Caesar through the squad channel. Caesar didn't quote a price there, but wanted to wait until returning to the Reincarnation Paradise to discuss this matter, roughly meaning to barter with Su Xiao with an equally interesting thing.

Su Xiao checked the 【Violator】 title, but received a prompt that he needed to lift the "Fat Seal" before he could activate this title.

The 【Violator】 title was sealed with a layer of golden resin on the surface. The reason for this was that Su Xiao's identity as a Hunter was highly compatible with this title, so after obtaining this title, he received such a bonus.

【Yes/No to lift the seal of the golden resin. After contact, the golden resin will be absorbed by this title, thereby increasing the strength of this title.】

【Title activation completed.】

【You have obtained special non-star title · Violator.】

【Violator】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise

Category: Special Title

Title Effect 1: Disguise (Passive), after wearing this title, you will obtain Disguise · Apocalypse Paradise Violator, and activate the corresponding temporary brand.

Prompt: Because you are a Hunter, when performing this disguise, there will be no time limit, and you can perform this disguise without any cost or fee.

Title Effect 2: Tough Vestment (Passive), even if you fight with all your strength, it will not cause this disguise to be eliminated. Even if the disguise is torn due to overly high-intensity combat, it can heal quickly.

Title Effect 3: Kill Change (Passive), after killing a violator in the disguise state, you can replace the disguise and disguise yourself as this person.

Title Effect 4: Absolute Fear (Active), when you are in this disguise state and only facing one violator, you can conduct a willpower judgment with this enemy. If the enemy does not pass this judgment, they will fall into the "Will Fear" state. In the following 10 minutes, they will lose the ability to speak and close all contact methods (this control ability has priority). You will cause an additional 20% ignore-defense damage to the enemy who has fallen into "Will Fear."

Prompt: The cooldown time of this ability is 2 natural days.

Prompt: If you successfully kill the enemy who is "Will Fear," this ability will immediately refresh its cooldown and enter an activatable state.

Prompt: This effect has priority, but this is a two-way priority, which leads to this ability only being usable when facing one violator. If you are the center with the target violator, and there are other violators within three meters, or other violators can perceive you and the selected target through sight, perception, etc., this ability is not available.

Introduction: A hunter wearing a wolf skin hidden in a wolf dance party. Even if it is a hungry wolf, don't leave the group, because the hunter wearing the wolf skin is already smiling at you.

Price: Cannot be sold.

This title was quite interesting. It could not only disguise as a violator but also transform into a hunter in the wolf pack. Especially when a violator faced Su Xiao alone, once the other party's teammates were more than three meters away and couldn't see the other party, as long as Su Xiao's speed was fast enough and his attack ability was strong enough, he could completely achieve an instant kill + replacement, thereby disguising himself as the violator he killed and continuing to hide in this violator squad.

When the violators found something wrong, it was almost a werewolf-killing mode. But unlike werewolf-killing, Su Xiao didn't have to wait for it to get dark and ask to close his eyes. As long as there was a violator falling behind in the squad, he could take action immediately.

Normally, there was a problem, which was that when he disguised himself as a violator he killed, if the other party's friends asked some questions that only the dead violator knew, Su Xiao would be difficult to answer.

For this, Su Xiao had a solution. The Soul-Devouring talent could strip away soul memories. With his current soul strength, when stripping away soul memories, if he abandoned precious soul memories related to transcendent knowledge and various abilities, he could strip away about 90% of an enemy's soul memories.

Stripping away soul memories was different from absorbing memories. Absorbing memories had many hidden dangers, and heaven knows he might not even know who he was in the end. But viewing soul memories was more like flipping through a book or watching a movie. Su Xiao's own consciousness and will would not be affected by these soul memories at all. Sometimes after watching, he would forget two or three percent in a few days, and after half a year, as long as it wasn't very important information, he would have forgotten it to the back of his mind.

With the means to strip away soul memories, Su Xiao was not afraid of the interrogation of wolf teammates at all. By then, the wolf teammates would find that the violator teammates around them were getting fewer and fewer. What was even more terrifying was that they were getting fewer and fewer without any enemies.

Not only that, Su Xiao would only take action after "Will Fear" the enemy. The violator who was "Will Fear" couldn't even send a message using the brand.

This would lead to a situation where the squad collapsed. Even if it was barely maintained because they had received a mission, it was mutual suspicion and mutual precaution. The mission difficulty that was originally Ninth Tier was directly pulled to Nightmare-level.

Put away the 【Violator】 title. In the future, if he encountered a group of violators, this thing would be useful. At present, it was more important to prepare to kill the Peerless-level Spellcaster.

The Voodoo Warlock Baze had already sent news that he would arrive by tomorrow morning at the latest. The other party was willing to take the risk to deal with the Peerless-level, not out of consideration for old feelings, but because there was a price.

The old rival of the Holy Snake Tribe, the Soul Shepherd Tribe, had all their priests, witch doctors, etc., die strangely overnight. This matter was done by the White Dragon Lord of the adjacent fiefdom. Precisely because of this, the two sides changed from hostile to friendly neighbors.

As for why the White Dragon Lord did this a few days ago, it wasn't a novel reason. Before, Su Xiao was prepared to mobilize all 12 legions of the fiefdom to "visit" the friendly neighbor White Dragon Lord. After learning about this, the White Dragon Lord personally took people to deal with the Soul Shepherd Tribe.

In this way, the old grudge between Su Xiao and the White Dragon Lord was completely turned over. Sometimes as a lord of a fiefdom, one had to be like this. If one was vengeful, one would have many more enemies for no reason. Su Xiao was not afraid of many enemies; it was mainly because he had many things to do, time was precious, and there was no need to waste time because of these things.

The Voodoo Warlock would definitely be there, and the Priest wouldn't be absent either. When Su Xiao contacted this old guy, it was as if all the calculations and mutual pitting between the two had never happened. At first, the Priest held a refusal attitude, but after Su Xiao showed a few trump cards, the Priest readily agreed.

Besides this, Su Xiao also ordered Egwin in advance to let that side select 1000 of the most elite Horse-Clan heavy cavalry. When choosing, he was more inclined toward archery.

Bringing these 1000 Horse-Clan heavy cavalry was naturally not to surround and kill the Peerless-level Spellcaster, but to use the Sun Lord title to bonus them, letting them shoot arrows with the "Sun" effect.

"Sun Effect: Cause 320-470 points + 0.2%-15% of maximum health as true burn damage to the enemy...

Prompt: Sun Mark can be stacked up to five layers (this is the full layer).

When the enemy is in the full "Sun Mark" state: all "long-range" elite units of the friendly side will attach 320 points + 10% of maximum health as true burn damage when attacking this enemy unit, and have a severe treatment containment effect."

Even a Peerless-level would find it hard to hold up against the volley of over a thousand Horse-Clan heavy cavalry.

Of course, if this ambush could find the Knight Commander, this heavy-armored warrior, it would basically be stable. However, although the Knight Commander was in the friendly camp, he really couldn't be found.

The Knight Commander couldn't be found, but he could go to the fortune teller Perrier. Although this was not a Peerless-level, whether it was fortune-telling means or soul poison, it could reach the top level of this world.

There was a problem at present, which was that the fortune teller Perrier was not willing to join the squad. One couldn't force finding teammates, but one could cater to their preferences.

Just at this moment, the communicator on the table rang. After answering, a female voice came from the opposite side, saying: "Don't send your subordinates to find me again. I won't help you deal with the Peerless-level."

"Ms. Perrier, is the price I offered not enough?"

Hearing Su Xiao say this, Perrier on the opposite side sighed and said politely: "Lord Bai Ye, this is not a matter of money."

"100,000 Soduo."

Su Xiao offered 100,000 gold coins. One had to know that this was not a small amount. A fiefdom with abundant output had a total annual output value of tens of millions of gold coins. Besides, 100,000 Beast Clan gold coins could buy a large amount of transcendent resources. If these resources hadn't been notarized and couldn't be brought out of this world, and the Beast Clan gold coins had hundreds of notarization restrictions, Su Xiao wouldn't easily squander these Beast Clan gold coins.

"Lord Bai Ye, I'll say it one last time, I won't..."

"10 million Soduo."

As soon as Su Xiao said this, the opposite side of the communicator suddenly became quiet. After a few seconds, Perrier sighed, and with a slightly crisp, slightly hoarse, and helpless voice, said: "Lord Bai Ye, please don't joke with me."

"I rarely joke."

Su Xiao hung up the communicator. After summoning the Spotted Fox Clan member Pilu, he asked him to raise 10 million Beast Clan gold coins. Pilu didn't ask what he was going to do and went to prepare as soon as possible. For the Winter-Rin fiefdom that had already occupied most of the "Crystal Forest," this 10 million gold coins could already be easily taken out.

That afternoon, Eternal Ring City, District 5, in front of the courtyard of a villa.

A figure wearing formal attire and a mask rang the doorbell. A moment later, a servant opened the door. After the visitor expressed gratitude, he walked quickly inside. The servant stood in place in confusion, as if influenced by some ability, and didn't stop him.

The aroma of black tea made people feel relaxed. The fortune teller Perrier, wearing a black gauze skirt, with her whole dress like black mist, was enjoying afternoon tea. That beautiful face made it hard for people to move their eyes away. However, at this moment, this fortune teller's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled.

After learning about the Law-Extinguisher from her father, Perrier wanted to see what the cause and fate of a Law-Extinguisher would be like. The result was that the fortune-telling failed, and she saw nothing.

Perrier was not an ignorant little girl and wouldn't approach a person because of curiosity. Her way of doing things was to stay as far away from this Law-Extinguisher as possible. She would stay away from everyone whose fate she couldn't see through, so that she would be safe. However, sometimes things went against her wishes.

Hearing the footsteps coming upstairs, Perrier's brows wrinkled even deeper. She didn't predict this arrival, which meant it was someone sent by that Law-Extinguisher. This made her feel a bit unhappy in her heart. Even if the other party was a lord, he shouldn't have sent a lobbyist immediately after teasing her. This was too unreasonable.

"Ms. Perrier, this is your savings card at the Eternal Ring Bank. I sincerely apologize for the disturbance caused to you. I won't disturb your afternoon tea time anymore. Goodbye."

The visitor didn't wait for Perrier to reply and turned to leave.

A moment later, Perrier put down the savings card in her hand. For a moment, she really thought that there were 10 million Soduo stored inside. After having this thought, she couldn't help but laugh at herself, laughing at her absurd thought. As a top-tier fortune teller, she charged 5000 Soduo for one fortune-telling, and she could only tell fortunes a few times a month, plus there were more and more peers recently.

And most people who needed fortune-telling didn't actually need to find a top-tier fortune teller. They were generally telling the whereabouts of relatives or where precious items were lost. For this kind of fortune-telling, a fortune-telling level of hundreds of gold coins per time was enough to be competent.

Perrier was already thirty years old and really couldn't open her mouth to ask her father for money. Plus, she liked quietness and was even more disgusted with the power struggles of the Beast Clan. And if a fortune teller told fortunes for wealth, the cause and effect would be returned sooner or later. Those fortune tellers who relied on fortune-telling for gambling, investment, etc., to accumulate wealth didn't have a good end.

What was even more fatal was that as the apple of the Grand Commander's eye, when she chose the price of fortune-telling, she chose wealth, which made our Miss Perrier always have bad luck in wealth.

No one believed it when it was said out loud. The dignified top-tier fortune teller Perrier was currently renting her residence. She originally had a winery given by her father, but as the "beacon" in the investment world, Miss Perrier soon "gifted" the vineyard to the bank.

"Perhaps, enough to redeem the winery? No, Perrier, you can't connect cause and effect with the Law-Extinguisher for a few tens of thousands of Soduo. It's not worth it, um, not worth it."

Perrier gradually felt relieved in her heart. She was prepared to let the old maid who had been following her return this savings card.

Just at this moment, the old maid walked into the tea room and said: "Miss, the president of the Eternal Ring Bank is here to see you and is already waiting outside."

"President? I only owe them a few hundred Soduo, why would the president come to the door? Wait."

Perrier suddenly thought of something and looked at the dark gold savings card on the table.

After Perrier sent away the president of the Eternal Ring Bank and several investment assistants, she put down the savings card. In fact, money really couldn't move this strongest fortune teller. The key was the set of fortune-telling cards sent later. This was forged by the Secret Pattern Master, the chief disciple of the Dwarf King, and was rare and hard to find. The key was that the wooden box containing the fortune-telling cards had written on it:

"Gifted to the strongest fortune teller in this world · Perrier."

The bottom corner was the mark of the Dwarf King, the Secret Pattern Master, and several master-level craftsmen.

Perrier picked up the savings card and gave it to the old maid on the side, saying: "Cough~, go pay back the few thousand Soduo I owe several banks, and then redeem the winery. You keep a few tens of thousands for your family, and give the rest to those who need this money. Too much money will bring many unnecessary causes and effects."

"But Miss, with this money, you won't have to worry about money in the future..."

"Oh."

Perrier responded indifferently. The old maid on the side could only do so. Throughout the process, Perrier didn't look at the savings card again. Her white index finger rested on the wooden box of fortune-telling cards. Finally, she picked up the communicator and chose to dial.

Su Xiao put down the communicator in his hand. The fortune teller, no, it should be the Soul Poisoner, was successfully pulled into the squad.

Everything was ready. The reason why the ambush was set up tomorrow was that Su Xiao was waiting for the Blade Demon Spirit to finish devouring. This time, the origin energy of the Abyss-nourishing creatures devoured by the Demon Spirit was more than the previous two times. After all, this was an Indestructible-characteristic Abyss-nourishing creature that coexisted with the Wolf God.

This devouring of the Blade Demon Spirit was different from the previous two times. That feeling was like, because the strength of the Blade Demon Spirit had exceeded a certain level, it seemed to have awakened a new ability.

At present, the Blade Demon Spirit actually only had one ability, which was position swapping. Others were Su Xiao's flexible use of the Blade Demon Spirit and were not considered the Blade Demon Spirit's ability.

The ability awakened this time made Su Xiao think that when he fought against Ximan Achid before, the other party slashed out a double attack effect, which belonged to one slash and two judgments. However, apart from "position swapping," every Law-Extinguisher's Demon Spirit ability was different.

But there was one point in common: all Demon Spirits would only have one active ability, which was "position swapping." Apart from this, what the Demon Spirit awakened was definitely a passive Demon Spirit ability.

Besides this, Su Xiao also entrusted the Dwarf King to help him forge a non-characteristic equipment. After asking about the purpose, the Dwarf King's suggestion was that forging this kind of equipment was fine, but it was best to use an equipment that Su Xiao had used for a long time as a fit, and use this as a core to strengthen and forge, so as to avoid the non-characteristic equipment being affected by the environment or other artifacts, thereby appearing with adaptive abilities.

Su Xiao finally decided to use the 【Soul Lock Lamp】, a special equipment, as the core carrier. This equipment could cooperate with his talent ability in the past, but as the talent ability · Soul-Devourer became more mature and stable, it was no longer needed for this equipment to cooperate.

Finally, with the 【Soul Lock Lamp】 as the core and the bonus of many rare materials, a non-characteristic Origin-level equipment with a rating of 2000 points was forged. Su Xiao originally prepared to prepare materials himself, but the Dwarf King refused. However, after forging this equipment, the next time he came to the Dwarf King to forge, although he didn't need to pay the forging fee, the cost of materials and the like had to be prepared.

Regarding the purpose of this equipment, it involved 【Fate Master】.

"Fate Master · Equipment Effect 4: Undying Luck (Special · Passive), as a Law-Extinguishing Shadow, because you have held this equipment for a long time and engraved the 'Name of the Strong' on it, this equipment has produced an inseparable resonance with your Law-Extinguishing luck. If you are quietly attacked by fate-type and cause-and-effect-type abilities, the luck counter-effect will be triggered, enhancing the incoming ability by 5-10 times with the Law-Extinguishing luck, and rebounding it to the caster. The caster will face the following choices."

1. Forcibly bear this ability (ultra-high probability of death).

2. Pay resources equivalent to the current bearing ability strength x3, in the form of money/resources, etc., to offset the evil consequences brought by the fate/cause-and-effect ability (the minimum valuation of the paid resources is the resources corresponding to 12000 Soul Coins, and the maximum is based on the ability limit). The resources paid in this way will appear within 2 meters of the equipment holder after a delay of 1-5 minutes.

Prompt: Because of the special nature of this ability, you can use a non-characteristic Origin-level equipment to transfer this ability from Fate Master to this non-characteristic Origin-level equipment. This will make the non-characteristic Origin-level equipment inherit this ability and bring a certain degree of enhancement to this ability."

At present, although this ability was on 【Fate Master】, it was in an untriggerable state. The reason was that it needed to be transferred to a non-characteristic Origin-level equipment for this characteristic to take effect. After all, the appearance of this characteristic in the beginning had some accidental components, and the overall ability tendency was not particularly compatible with 【Fate Master】.

Su Xiao took out 【Fate Master】 and placed it together with the upgraded 【Soul Lock Lamp】. The transfer of the "Undying Luck" ability was simpler than imagined. One hour later, the ability of 【Fate Master】 returned to the original three types. Compared to before, the fluctuations of 【Fate Master】 were much more stable now.

And the 【Soul Lock Lamp】 ability had fluctuations of luck and cause and effect. In the future, if he encountered an enemy of the cause-and-effect system, this thing would definitely be very useful.

Just at this moment, the Zhan Long Shan placed on the table in front of him suddenly surged with strong fluctuations of the Blade Demon Spirit, and then calmed down. This meant that the Blade Demon Spirit inside had reawakened and had one more new ability. ===== CHAPTER 3713 =====
