Chapter 3723
Clouds and mist floated and sank below. Su Xiao, sitting cross-legged on the dragon's back, was trying to enter a meditative state, but after trying several times, he felt that his mind was unstable after entering meditation. The reason was that in the battle just now, he was eroded by Abyss energy. Although his Abyss resistance reached 20 points, it would not damage the foundation, but it was not comfortable right now. He would have to wait until he returned to Samsara Paradise to clear it.
The good news is that this world progress is about to end, and the remaining time for the Initial Mark ranking is no more than six hours.
Su Xiao raised his crystal left arm and found that the originally translucent blue crystal arm was now deep blue, and it was no longer flexible to control.
With a snap, his crystal left arm, left shoulder, and a small part of his crystal body shattered. Afterwards, new translucent blue crystals emerged, forming a new shoulder and arm.
Because Su Xiao mastered the Lv. 73 Blood Gun Master ability, his control over spirit shadow lines was likely to rank among the top few in the history of Law-Breakers, and through the "Book of Necromancy" permanently strengthened "Banishment," this thing was originally a mid-range weapon, and after being permanently strengthened by the "Book of Necromancy," it had semi-biological and semi-energy characteristics.
Su Xiao originally had some inflexibility when forming crystal arms and crystal lower legs, but after the crystal prosthetics integrated the semi-biological and semi-energy characteristics of "Banishment" and used spirit shadow lines as nerves, his crystal prosthetics had reached a level that could be used for combat, so that his combat power would not drop sharply due to severed limbs.
This is one of the very practical abilities developed by Su Xiao. In the words of Marven Waltz, if Su Xiao can be promoted to absolute strong in the future and perfect this ability to the extreme, and engrave it on the Awakening Monument as a compulsory ability for the new generation of Law-Breakers, there would be no problem at all.
Interestingly, whether it was Marven Waltz or the old Law-Breaker, they never let Su Xiao restore the former glory of the Law-Breakers. Not only that, the attitude of these two old guys is that everything should take its course. If Su Xiao has a disciple he likes in the future, he can teach one. If not, it doesn't matter. And if he is interested, he can engrave the abilities he is satisfied with on the Awakening Monument, but if he is too lazy to engrave, it doesn't matter...
It can be seen that the Law-Breaker faction has no interest in becoming the Void Overlord again. A more accurate way to put it is that when they became the Void Overlord, it was because there were too many absolute strong people in the Law-Breaker faction, and they were inexplicably lifted up.
And even if they become the Void Overlord, the Law-Breaker faction plays its own game and doesn't care about the faction's reputation or prestige in the Void at all. Except for balancing natural elements everywhere, cleaning up ancient gods, and guarding the Abyss, they do whatever they want at other times. This kind of faction atmosphere naturally wouldn't let the subsequent new Law-Breakers go to revitalize the Law-Breaker faction.
After Marven Waltz and the old Law-Breaker became remnant souls, they did whatever they wanted even more. Interestingly, the former mortal enemy, the black mist figure, also mixed with these two old guys and became three black-hearted old grandpas.
These three black-hearted old grandpas made many teenagers and girls who considered themselves the chosen ones shout in doubt of life while looking at their empty storage rings, and then they would regain what they lost, and they would kindly tell the "chosen one," silly child, the grandpas were just teasing you, and then they would lose what they gained, repeating the cycle several times, until the "chosen one" gradually realized the sinister nature of these three unscrupulous old guys, and then continued to fight wits and courage.
Speaking of which, although these "chosen ones" often received mental blows, overall, they still gained a lot, at least their strength improvement speed increased sharply.
The clouds and mist in front dissipated, and the temperature dropped sharply, indicating that they had reached the Eternal Frozen Plain area. This made Baha, whose feathers had fallen off for the most part, shiver. Before, the old Beast King pulled the Abyss War Spear, and Baha rushed over to stop it. Although it succeeded, it was also very disheveled. Fortunately, after returning to Samsara Paradise and recovering from its injuries, the black-blue feathers it lost could grow back.
Right now, the situation in the Eternal Frozen Plain has stabilized, or rather, the names on the communication list of the World Contact Platform are disappearing one by one, which would make anyone feel terrified, so no one comes to the Eternal Frozen Plain.
It's just that if it were only the Ruthless Brother as a hunter, that would be at most a desperate escape. The key is that the Ruthless Brother also has a partner whose strength is not weaker than his. It can be said that this partner is quite low-key, and with such strength, she has hidden until now.
When Su Xiao arrived near the hundred-meter-high ice hall, he found that the ice plain tribes here had withdrawn. The Storm Flame Dragon landed on the ice, and Su Xiao led Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha toward the ice hall.
The door of the ice hall was open with a one-meter-wide gap, and there were many bloodstains on the door, all frozen. After entering the ice hall, this place was not as cold as imagined, but rather a bit warm, and the furnishings were mostly wooden.
"You are too picky. Isn't this grilled fish fragrant? I grilled it carefully for two hours, and you took a bite and spat it out? This kind of delicacy, don't you crave it when I eat it, vomit~, what kind of fish is this, why does it have a smell of stinky feet, vomit~"
The Ruthless Brother in front of the oven threw a large piece of grilled fish aside. Nearby sat the slightly dazed Bee. Maybe she was sleepy, and Bee yawned.
If one saw Bee for the first time, one would feel that this was a petite girl with a cold temperament and no expression. In fact, Bee was not cold at all; she was just a bit dazed.
"Bai Ye, my luck was average this time. We drew lots among the three of us. I drew to bring Bee. Next time I meet Bee, maybe you will have to bring her. She is too picky and doesn't pay attention to me at all."
Hearing the Ruthless Brother's words, Su Xiao felt a bit puzzled. He really didn't know about the drawing lots. The start of this world, he was in the prison of the Beast Race's Eternal Ring City, and the time he woke up was a bit late. It seems he missed something.
As if because of Su Xiao's arrival, Bee turned her gaze. She obviously recognized Su Xiao, and then she picked up the grilled fish that the Ruthless Brother had just thrown away, raised her fair arm, and said: "Give it to you, eat."
"Hmm?"
The Ruthless Brother was very surprised. From the beginning of this world until now, this was the first time he heard Bee speak. However, this cute and dazed girl loved to send emojis on the World Contact Platform.
Facing Bee's "good intentions," Su Xiao didn't take the stinky-sock-smelling grilled fish, but took out the Scarlet Card of the Gray Gentleman and tried to bring it close to Bee.
Hum~
A faint blood light emerged on the Scarlet Card. Seeing this scene, Su Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly. Afterwards, he took out a charcoal box, put the Scarlet Card into it, and gave this former mortal enemy an original sin item-level seal, then stored it in the innermost part of the storage space.
"It seems you were not lightly injured to defeat the Beast King."
A female voice that was both charming and strong came. It was the kind of feeling that was clearly smiling, with a figure that made people's bones feel soft, but made people not dare to raise evil thoughts.
Su Xiao heard the sound and looked over. It was a figure wearing a fox mask. The other party was wearing a loose black robe. Although the color of the black robe was single, it had a kind of pure-color gorgeousness. The fox mask was metallic, with a number "2" on the right side of the forehead, and a small ornament at the bottom, which was a small doll wearing a gothic dress.
"What are our winning odds this time?"
The masked woman spoke. Hearing this, Su Xiao took out the existing 48.85% "Initial Mark."
"Oh ho, it seems the winning odds are not small."
The Ruthless Brother also took out the 30.95% "Initial Mark" he held.
"The quantity of 'Initial Mark' held by our two sides is quite different, so should we divide the final proceeds according to the holding ratio of the mark?"
The masked woman's proposal made the Ruthless Brother nod. Although dividing it this way would mean they would get fewer benefits, it was obviously fairer.
"No need, according to the prior agreement, five-five split."
Su Xiao didn't have the habit of temporarily modifying the split because he got more proceeds. It was agreed that both sides would split five-five, so it was five-five. He and the Ruthless Brother each had five shares. As for how the Ruthless Brother would distribute it with the masked woman, they would negotiate it themselves.
"Then I won't be polite. Sigh~, recently I've been poor to death, smashing pots and selling iron to get original fragments."
The Ruthless Brother took out the elemental fine wine he had left half a bottle of earlier, pulled out the cork, took a big sip, and the smile on his face became richer.
The Ruthless Brother being so poor was a matter of course. Su Xiao needed 14 "Original Fragments" to break through Lv. 80 in three techniques and be promoted to absolute strong. The Ruthless Brother needed 17, and the masked woman, this one was no better, needing 16.
In fact, Su Xiao had an advantage he didn't even notice, which was that his Law-Breaker abilities didn't consume "Original Fragments" when he was promoted to the absolute strong stage. Otherwise, according to the strength of his inheritance profession, at the very least, it would be a consumption of 6 "Original Fragments." In this way, the "Original Fragments" he needed would reach a staggering 20.
Although the risk of mastering Law-Breaker abilities is high, as long as they are successfully mastered, the various advantages afterwards are simply refreshing for a lifetime. Of course, if one fails during the mastery, then this life will come to an abrupt end here.
Su Xiao and the Ruthless Brother both looked at the masked woman. The masked woman flicked the small doll hanging under her mask with her hand, meaning she had no opinion on the split either.
There were five hours left until the settlement time. Right now, the "Initial Mark" should be concentrated on one person. The masked woman first indicated that because the content of her world mission was different from everyone else's, theoretically, she couldn't get on the Initial Mark ranking.
Finally, the three decided to hand over all the Initial Marks to the Ruthless Brother. The reason was that Su Xiao's Void Tree credibility was -???, while the Ruthless Brother's was -3000 points. Although it was a lot, at least there was a value.
It was just that how to ensure the precise distribution of proceeds was a problem. When Su Xiao took out a contract, the gazes of the Ruthless Brother and the masked woman were particularly solemn.
"This is a proper contract."
Su Xiao spoke in his usual tone.
"Cough~, Bai Ye, it's not that I don't believe in your character, I mainly heard about your reputation in terms of contracts."
The Ruthless Brother smiled a bit reluctantly while speaking.
"Reputation?"
Su Xiao frowned. He hadn't heard that he had any reputation in the contract world.
"I personally have some means in terms of contracts, so when I see this thing in your hand, I feel dizzy."
"..."
Su Xiao checked the contract in his hand. This was just an ordinary contract. It seemed that the Ruthless Brother was still relatively cautious. Finally, the three signed a hunter contract of Samsara Paradise. This thing was particularly reliable, but it had a disadvantage that the contract drafting fee was a bit high.
The hall returned to silence. It could be seen that the Ruthless Brother and the masked woman were not familiar with each other. Through chatting, he learned that the Ruthless Brother did have a female partner, but it was not the masked woman, but the masked woman's friend. The other party went to the Meteorite Star, while the Ruthless Brother was summoned by the world mission of the Wind Sea Continent, so they acted separately. The Ruthless Brother met the masked woman in this world, and the two sides started cooperating after the Eternal Frozen Plain became a chaotic battle zone.
According to the masked woman, the Ruthless Brother's female partner was a bit quiet and shy in normal times, but she was darker than the Ruthless Brother when fighting, and after killing too many enemies, she would enter a chaotic excitement. Once, she hammered the injured Ruthless Brother half to death, almost nailing him into a hedgehog.
With nothing to do, Su Xiao took out a large amount of high-purity crystal grease. This was one of his gains in this world. Its function was that it could be used to replace soul crystals when manufacturing Apollo, the Wrath of the Sun, making the manufacturing cost greatly reduced.
Su Xiao activated the hunter permission and attempted to notarize all these highest-purity crystal greases by consuming Space-Time Power so that they could be brought out of this world. The result obtained was that they could be notarized, but 100 ounces of Space-Time Power needed to be paid.
Su Xiao weighed it and felt it was quite profitable. One "Sun Holy Sword" required 600 Apollos as materials, and the soul crystals consumed to manufacture 600 Apollos were not few. If this amount of high-purity crystal grease was notarized, it would be enough for the required "Sun Holy Sword" manufacturing for a long time to come.
He chose to notarize these high-purity crystal greases. The notarization speed was faster than imagined, but the Space-Time Power deducted also made his heart ache. With nothing to do and temporarily unable to meditate, Su Xiao took out various materials and began to manufacture Apollo, the Wrath of the Sun.
At first, the Ruthless Brother and the masked woman had no reaction. However, after Su Xiao manufactured hundreds of Apollos and liquefied and sealed them in bottles, placing them on the side to cool, the masked woman couldn't hold on anymore. The sense of crisis was really too strong.
"Bai Ye, although it's not polite to interrupt others' hobbies, your hobby is a bit... exercising the perception of nearby teammates, so~"
"Hmm, sorry."
Su Xiao put away the bottled liquid Apollo. After a moment, he took out 【Ember Fire】 to study and attempted to slightly unseal its seal. The Ruthless Brother, who had just taken a nap, sat up with a shiver.
"Bai Ye, you'd better restore your hobby just now. This thing is even more terrifying."
"Hmm."
After Su Xiao put away 【Ember Fire】, he took out the seal box and began to reinforce the spells on it layer by layer with seal studies. Seeing this, the Ruthless Brother nodded and smiled. He hadn't had any intersection with Su Xiao before. He didn't expect the Night of Beheading to be so easy to talk to. Except for being a bit taciturn, this was a person worth making deep friends with.
"Bai Ye, this box looks quite high-end. What kind of things are sealed inside?"
"Some artifacts."
"What kind of things need such a seal?"
The Ruthless Brother became interested and didn't take a nap anymore.
"Original sin items."
"?"
The Ruthless Brother's smile suddenly froze. The masked woman sitting on top of the huge bookcase supported her forehead with one hand and rarely complained: "Your daily life is really wonderful."
"It is said that this thing is very dangerous? How dangerous is it specifically? Give me some popular science. Of course, I can pay for this."
The Ruthless Brother took out a soul coin savings card.
"No need."
Su Xiao knocked on the bottom corner of the seal box, and a secret compartment probed out. Inside was the "Original Sin Item Notebook" collected by Su Xiao. I don't know if it was because it was in the seal box and too close to the three big daddy artifacts, or for other reasons, this "Original Sin Item Notebook" actually had a trace of original sin fluctuation, although it was very faint.
Su Xiao tossed the "Original Sin Item Notebook" to the Ruthless Brother. The Ruthless Brother was a bit puzzled at first, but after flipping through two pages, his eyes gradually widened. The expression was basically: "Holy shit, knowledge that I hope I will never use has increased."
When the Ruthless Brother finished reading the "Original Sin Item Notebook," he had an expression of having opened his eyes. He sighed: "Bai Ye, your experience is quite rich. But speaking of which, where did you hear about the data of these original sin items?"
"Except for the Collector, I have seen other original sin items with my own eyes."
"Holy shit."
The Ruthless Brother handed the "Original Sin Item Notebook" back. The masked woman on top of the tall bookshelf spoke, meaning she wanted to borrow this notebook.
Because there was the Ruthless Brother's expression change as a precedent, the masked woman was already mentally prepared before opening the "Original Sin Item Notebook." But after reading a few pages, her eyes gradually widened, and the expression was: "Knowledge that I hope I will never use has increased."
