Chapter 3737
After hearing Su Xiao's words, the Dark Eater squinted those pitch-black eyes covered with rotating light spots, pondered for a long time, and felt that what Su Xiao said was indeed reasonable.
First of all, the Dark Eater could not guarantee that Su Xiao had no means of saving his life. Once the two sides completely tore their faces off here, there would be no possibility of dealing with each other.
Another thing is, even if Su Xiao was killed here before he ascended to Supreme-level, what is the point? The Dark Eater does not have a Paradise brand and cannot drop treasure chests by killing enemies, nor can it obtain the key to leave this world by opening treasure chests.
Moreover, such keys, as the Dark Eater, a world-destroying creature, might not be able to activate. The fact is indeed so. 【Blade of Sealing】 is the key to leave this place. Except for Su Xiao, who is a Law-Extinguisher, no one else can activate it. Even the Moon Wolves and Eternal Light Watchers cannot activate this thing because those two allies have Eternal Light keys with their own characteristics.
After thinking about it, the Dark Eater found that it could only cooperate with this Law-Extinguisher if it wanted to leave this cage world. But it was very unwilling to do so.
Speaking of which, the Dark Eater does not belong to the category of being locked into the Eternal Light World. Although it is a world-destroying existence, it will not actively devour living beings, but devour dark spirits that are world-destroying creatures. The Dark Eater belongs to an alien among world-destroying creatures. Otherwise, the Sea Clan of the Wind Sea Continent would not allow it in the main city of the Sea Clan, and would have turned against it long ago.
The reason why it was banished to the Eternal Light World is because after Su Xiao went to the Wind Sea Continent, the Dark Eater took the initiative to find him. You don't need to think to know that this must be a grudge left by a certain previous generation Law-Extinguisher.
Regarding this, Su Xiao also wanted to know what that unknown previous generation Law-Extinguisher did to the Dark Eater, causing the Dark Eater to be so hostile to the Law-Extinguishing faction.
Hearing Su Xiao's question, the Dark Eater was like having its tail stepped on, so angry that it gritted its teeth. The original flat teeth all turned into shark-like sharp teeth.
"That hateful Law-Extinguisher, just because I glared at her when I passed by, she caught me and let me look for the traces of dark spirits in various worlds. After finding them, she didn't allow me to eat them, and banished them all to the Eternal Light."
The Dark Eater became more and more excited as it spoke, and the shark teeth in its mouth also clicked.
"Because of this, you were almost locked into the Eternal Light World many years ago?"
Su Xiao already knew who the Law-Extinguisher the Dark Eater was talking about, but he pretended not to know.
"That... that's not it."
When the Dark Eater said this, its gaze was a bit evasive. After its voice was significantly smaller, it said vaguely: "I tried my luck to open the seal, then swallowed some of the Law-Extinguisher's resources, and caught her, preparing to lock her into the Eternal Light World, and released all the Abyss proliferators."
After saying this, the Dark Eater added: "I swallowed those resources as compensation for that Law-Extinguisher sealing me up."
Hearing this, Zuiyas asked casually: "What did you swallow?"
"More than a dozen Primordial Fragments."
Hearing this, Zuiyas didn't speak again, but his gaze was: 'That Law-Extinguisher didn't kill you, which is considered a good temper.'
However, in Su Xiao's view, with the financial resources and temper of Grin Gillian, she would not be furious because the Dark Eater swallowed more than a dozen "Primordial Fragments." Instead, she would excitedly find the Dark Eater, catch it again, and observe what changes would happen after the world-destroying creature swallowed more than a dozen "Primordial Fragments."
In fact, what really made Grin Gillian decide to banish the Dark Eater to the Eternal Light World was that the Dark Eater released dozens of Abyss proliferators. Grin Gillian was not very good at setting up techniques and arrays, so she saved a large batch of Abyss proliferators and then set up a teleportation technique at once to banish them all to the Eternal Light World.
But these are not the points. At the current stage, Su Xiao and the Dark Eater can only temporarily cooperate.
Su Xiao, who had a smile on his face, looked at the Dark Eater, who had ceramic-like cracks on his face and shark teeth, looking harmonious, but in fact, both sides had another meaning:
Dark Eater: 'After I escape from here, I will definitely kill you.'
Su Xiao: 'After I ascend to Supreme-level, I will slaughter you.'
In this harmonious atmosphere, the cooperation was reached. The 'good teammates' combination added a temporary member, and the group continued to move forward in the poisonous rain.
Boom!
Thunder rumbled in the sky. Looking at the shadow that flashed by in the rain curtain in front, Wood asked the Dark Eater in a low voice: "You are very familiar with this area."
"It's... okay."
The Dark Eater's gaze began to be unfocused again. It would never say that it had been hunted down after coming for only a few days. It is not that the Dark Eater is weak; the Eternal Light World is dangerous, and the Eroding Rain Land is one of the several dangerous areas of the Eternal Light World. Being able not to be swallowed by other monsters in this place is already very capable.
"Then how did you get close to that Watcher's Gao Ta?"
Hearing Wood's words, the Dark Eater was in a dilemma. It recalled with a wrinkled face and answered honestly: "I don't know either. A few days ago, I was wandering in the rain. Walking and walking, I arrived under that high tower, and then... eh? Where is that hateful Law-Extinguisher? Hmm? The tentacle man is also gone."
The Dark Eater turned to look at Wood and found that Wood had also disappeared. It looked around, and Su Xiao, Zuiyas, Wood, and Caesar were nowhere to be found.
At the same time, at the tunnel exit of the 15th train station, Su Xiao stood at the exit, looking at the fluorescent purple rain curtain falling in front, and the metal ore residue eroded into slag a few meters away. He was sure that he was not dragged into an illusion or nightmare. The ore residue was what he had thrown out with his own hands before.
Su Xiao was still confused before about why the Lightless Temple destroyed other Watcher's High Towers but left this Watcher's Gao Ta with the "Super-World-Tier Sealing Technique." This was very unreasonable.
Now it seems that it is not that the Lightless Temple does not want to destroy this Watcher's Gao Ta, but that it cannot get close to this Watcher's Gao Ta. Another point is that the Eroding Rain Land is constantly raining poisonous rain, and the poisonous rain in some areas is purple to black. Although those areas are not large, if you accidentally enter them, the probability of rushing out alive is minimal. Looking at the crystal bone slag all over the ground in those areas, you can determine this point.
Those bone slags are good things, the remains of some powerful Deformed Alien Demons after being eroded by the poisonous rain. However, there is no way to get close to the poisonous rain area. Su Xiao had tried before. Let alone resisting with blood energy, even if he used Proud Song crystals of extreme intensity, they would be instantly eroded by the poisonous rain.
Su Xiao looked at the Watcher's Gao Ta in the distance. There must be some specific method to approach there. He took out the map sent by Thorns. This map was used by the previous generation Watchers, but after observing for a while, he did not find any prompts on the map.
Just as he was about to put it away, a flash of lightning flashed in the pitch-black sky, which made Su Xiao discover that circles of fine lines appeared in the area of the Eroding Rain Land on this map. It was not that he was negligent before, but these circles of fine lines would only be illuminated after the purple lightning in the sky flashed.
Su Xiao tried to let go of the map. This map floated steadily in mid-air. Not only that, this map, which looked like parchment, actually enlarged the Eroding Rain Land area by itself, occupying the entire layout. This is not an ordinary map, but an exceptionally precise piece of equipment, and it is limited to Law-Extinguishers, Moon Wolves, and Eternal Light Watchers.
After waiting for dozens of seconds, purple lightning appeared again. This time the rings on the map were more obvious. He tried to touch them and found that these rings could be rotated and would make precise clattering sounds.
After the purple lightning light in the sky faded, the rings on the map disappeared, and no matter what method was used, it could not continue to rotate.
Only when purple lightning appeared could he try to rotate its orientation. This made Su Xiao feel that this was like a precise lock dial. The 15 rings nested layer by layer were the 15-digit password. This reminded him of the 30-digit startup secret lock mentioned by the Old Tree Clan member before. He decided to try the first 15 digits to see if he could unlock the lock dial.
When purple lightning appeared again, Su Xiao started with the arrow at the center of the bottom of the map and rotated the lock dial on the map in turn. Finally, his index finger rested on the Watcher's Gao Ta in the center, adjusting it to face him.
Click~
After a crisp sound of the mechanism closing, the lock dial on the entire map rotated by itself. The positions of some rings changed, the large rings shrank, and the small rings expanded, nested in the outer rings. When this change ended, a map of the Eroding Rain Land with a greatly changed appearance appeared.
On it were dazzling technique structures. If one is not good at this aspect, just looking at it makes one dizzy. But as the holder of the Great Library Badge, Su Xiao would naturally not be stumped by this degree of technique.
The more Su Xiao parsed the techniques on it, the more confused he felt. If the Dark Eater did not lie, it really wandered under the Watcher's Gao Ta. That luck was simply unbelievable.
Simply put, the entire area where the Watcher's Gao Ta is located consists of 15 ring areas, and each ring area is divided into multiple small areas. Looking down from the sky, this large area is actually very similar to a compass.
These many small areas have different spatial attributes. When someone walks through these small areas, they will be temporarily endowed with this spatial attribute without noticing. And when walking out of this small area and reaching the adjacent next small area, they will be endowed with another spatial attribute.
After two different spatial attributes are blessed at the same time, the blessed person will be randomly teleported to the periphery. Su Xiao was randomly teleported here before because of this.
To walk from the edge to under the Watcher's Gao Ta, one must maintain the same spatial attribute, that is, walk in small areas with the same spatial attribute. And this path is actually only one.
If the Dark Eater did not lie, it wandered under the Watcher's Gao Ta, so it was equivalent to arriving under the Watcher's Gao Ta with a probability of one in several million. But this was useless; without the key, the high tower could not be opened.
After studying it, Su Xiao found that his current location was the starting point of the entire technique. The probability of others being teleported here is about 50%. Presumably, in a while, the others will be teleported here one after another.
It is almost impossible to reach under the Watcher's Gao Ta by violent means. These ring areas around are actually layers of space, and they are layers of space added by the extreme natural elements of this world.
Unless one can punch through these 15 layers of space in one blow, it is impossible to break through violently. Multiple attacks will not work either. These layers of space will recover at an ultra-fast speed under the blessing of extreme elements.
If one has the ability to punch through these 15 layers of space in one blow, then blowing open the spatial blockade of the Eternal Light World is a better choice. Judging by the current situation, no strong person in this world can do this.
Su Xiao took out the treasury map given by the Dark Lady before. He was still confused at that time about why this treasury map and the map of the Eroding Rain Land could only match a part. Only then did he know what was going on. The map of the Eroding Rain Land was disrupted before, so it couldn't match.
Su Xiao compared the treasury map with the current map of the Eroding Rain Land. Not only did he find the corresponding position, but it even overlapped perfectly.
Seeing this, Su Xiao wrote a message on the wall at the entrance of the train station and then walked into the poisonous rain.
In the pouring rain, Su Xiao walked gradually toward the Watcher's Gao Ta in the distance according to the markings on the map. But after he walked half the distance, he began to change direction and finally stopped in an open space. A Law-Extinguishing Treasury was here, but the surroundings were desolate.
In this situation, one would subconsciously think that this Law-Extinguishing Treasury is underground, but the Law-Extinguisher who set the treasury here must have a different train of thought.
Su Xiao released the Blade Magic Spirit and let the magic spirit jump to a high place. Just as the magic spirit jumped up, transparent silk threads materialized, cutting the magic spirit into black mist like iron sand. Subsequently, the magic spirit was sucked into the spatial vortex above, stirred to pieces by the mechanism in the vortex, and then sucked into the deeper part.
The magic spirit is naturally fearless of these attacks and successfully entered the Law-Extinguishing Treasury. Su Xiao and the magic spirit swapped positions.
The sound of rain in his ears disappeared, and the whole world became quiet. Su Xiao was already in a long corridor. Behind him were multiple death mechanisms. This entrance was set up very delicately. Although there were layers of spatial blockades, one could be sucked into the treasury through multiple death mechanisms that stirred the target multiple times.
The magic spirit is naturally fearless of these and can finally be sucked into the treasury. And "swapping positions" is not a spatial ability and can ignore the multi-layer spatial blockade of the treasury. Therefore, to enter the Law-Extinguishing Treasury, the Blade Magic Spirit is the key.
Su Xiao looked around at a large pile of bone slag. This should be a world-destroying creature that wanted to enter this treasury by relying on its own immortality. The result can be imagined.
Walking along the corridor for more than ten meters, a pair of metal doors blocked Su Xiao's way. There were multiple grooves on the door, and on the far right, there was a handprint-shaped depression.
Su Xiao pressed his hand on it. He released Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy. These Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energies passed through the energy patterns, passed through multiple grooves on the door, and lit them up. Finally, these dozens of grooves formed the shape of the Law-Extinguishing imprint, and the door of the treasury opened.
Su Xiao stabilized his breath, ready to face the fact that there was only a note in the treasury, on which it was written: "You passed my test. I think highly of you, although there is nothing in this treasury."
Walking into the treasury, the entire treasury is not large. What comes into view are several rows of storage racks, all empty. Regarding this, Su Xiao had no waves in his heart. Not all treasuries will store secret treasures.
Coming to the innermost side of the treasury, there were five storage boxes placed side by side on the stone platform, three of which had already been opened. Su Xiao chose one at random, but just as he was about to open it, a hair-raising sense of crisis came from this storage box, and this perception was blessed by a technique specifically targeting Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy.
If you have Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy in your body and try to open this storage box, this hair-raising feeling will appear. Su Xiao does not think this is a test of courage. The previous generation Law-Extinguishers would not set it up like this, because daring to master Law-Extinguishing ability is already courageous, and there is no need for such a test. Therefore, there is a fatal mechanism in this storage box, and opening it is certain death.
Su Xiao chose another storage box and opened it. There was no sense of danger in this one. After opening it, a prompt appeared.
【You have obtained 12 soul crystal souls.】
【You have obtained Awakening Stone × 1 (Law-Extinguishing Exclusive Gem): Can deeply improve Law-Extinguishing abilities.】
【You have obtained Blade of Sealing · Legacy Stone (after use, you can master Blade of Sealing X).】
12 soul crystal souls alone represent the richness of this harvest. And 【Blade of Sealing · Legacy Stone】, this thing is very useful. After mastering this ability, Su Xiao does not need to rely on the 【Blade of Sealing】 equipment to banish world-destroying existences to the Eternal Light World. This piece of equipment, whose durability is consumed by nearly half, is itself used for transition by Law-Extinguishers who have not mastered the Blade of Sealing ability.
Opening another storage box, there was a black gem inside. Trying to check its attributes, the result was all???. This is a high-tier item that has not been notarized, which is a common situation.
A crystal layer wrapped around his hand, and he picked up the black gem and stared at it carefully. He found that the black gem seemed to contain endless starry sky. With a slap, the black gem shattered and turned into black light particles, dissipating in the air.
【Prompt: You have lifted the Dark Seal. It is expected that the Dark Seal will regenerate in 10 natural days. You need to enter the Extreme Dark Castle in the Wet Salt Area before the Dark Seal regenerates.】
【You have obtained the Eye of Extreme Darkness. This item will exist for 10 natural days and can track the location of the Extreme Dark Castle.】
【Killing all enemies in the Extreme Dark Castle can obtain Precipitated Glaze and unique products of this area.】
【Warning: You must reach at least Supreme-level to explore this area.】
【Prompt: This area is extremely dangerous but belongs to a super-high-yield area.】
Seeing these prompts, Su Xiao felt confused. The feeling given by this treasury is too peculiar. He always feels that this is not used to store things, but specifically set up to let other Law-Extinguishing Shadows come here.
The reason for saying this is both because the magic spirit is the key to entering this place, and because of the storage box full of malice on the side. Without Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy as a perception medium, it is difficult to perceive the danger of this storage box. Once opened, it is certain death.
Of the remaining two treasure chests, one had a full harvest, and the other opened a super dangerous area, a place similar to a high-yield dungeon.
This feeling is too much like waiting for a Law-Extinguishing Shadow to come here, and then letting this Law-Extinguishing Shadow go to the Extreme Dark Castle in the Wet Salt Area according to the Eye of Extreme Darkness.
Su Xiao turned and walked out of the treasury. At the entrance, he swapped positions with the magic spirit and released his aura at the same time.
Returning to the poisonous rain falling outside, he controlled the magic spirit to pass through the layers of death traps in the treasury, then escaped from inside, and took it back into the Dragon Flash.
Su Xiao stepped forward. After walking a few steps, he arrived at a small area with new spatial attributes. The two spatial attributes temporarily blessed on him were activated, causing him to be teleported away. However, after calculation, he was teleported to the starting point.
Returning to the train tunnel entrance at the starting point, he found that Zuiyas, Wood, Caesar, and the Dark Eater were all here. Seeing this, Su Xiao took out the map and said: "Follow me."
Su Xiao and his group traveled through the rain curtain. Because they had the correct route, it only took more than two hours to arrive under the Watcher's Gao Ta. Looking up, the Watcher's Gao Ta is cylindrical, with a diameter span of more than a thousand meters, towering between heaven and earth. The higher it goes, the smaller the area of each floor. It is estimated that the area of the top floor is only a hundred square meters.
A magnificent giant door blocked the front. At a position more than one meter above the ground near the giant door, there was a circular lock dial. Strangely, there were no rings that could be rotated on this lock dial. Discovering this point, Su Xiao pressed the Watcher's map on it. Sure enough, the map fit perfectly on it, becoming the lock dial to open the door.
After finding the orientation with the first 15-digit password provided by the Old Tree Clan member before, he naturally tried the latter 15 digits. As he adjusted the lock dial, the Watcher's map detached from the door, and the tall door leaves in front gradually opened.
Su Xiao walked into the Watcher's Gao Ta. The bottom floor was empty, with only the metal spiral staircase in the center going up. What was unexpected was that there was a spatial vortex on the wall near the giant door. Besides the normal way, there was actually a second way to come here.
With a boom, the giant door behind him closed and locked. A prompt appeared.
【Prompt (Void Tree): Detected that the Hunter entered the Watcher's Gao Ta through the front door. The Watcher's Gao Ta has a total of 14 floors, all of which will be opened for you.】
Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao roughly guessed what was going on. He tried to consult relevant information and soon learned that when the Law-Extinguishing faction was about to perish, this Watcher's Gao Ta was notarized by the Void Tree. This was naturally facilitated by a certain previous generation Law-Extinguisher.
Therefore, this Watcher's Gao Ta has stood until now. The Lightless Temple really has no way to deal with this place.
There are two ways to enter this Watcher's Gao Ta: one is the path notarized by the Void Tree, which is to enter this Watcher's Gao Ta through the spatial vortex inside the door through other means without passing through the Eroding Rain Land outside.
But for this way of entering, the Void Tree will only open the first twelve floors of the Watcher's Gao Ta to it. To enter the thirteenth and fourteenth floors of the Watcher's Gao Ta, one must pass through the Eroding Rain Land in a conventional way and open the front door of the Watcher's Gao Ta.
Under the notarization of the Void Tree, the Watcher's Gao Ta has become a kind of test. Those who come to this place can obtain corresponding "Trial Settlement" rewards by passing how many floors. Therefore, those who come to this place are contractors, hunters, combat angels, etc., who have received the "Gao Ta Trial Invitation Letter."
What is even more interesting is that to use the "Gao Ta Trial Invitation Letter" to enter this place, the Paradise brand possessed must be below Lv. 91. Once promoted to Supreme-level, one cannot come to this place.
This move by that previous generation Law-Extinguisher is indeed very brilliant. It not only allows the Void Tree to obtain a trial ground without any cost but also allows the world-destroying existences and Abyss proliferators in this world to never think about destroying this Watcher's Gao Ta. Attempting to destroy this place in any way is equivalent to challenging the notarization of the Void Tree.
Even if there really is a challenger from the Paradise faction who clears the Watcher's Gao Ta, because the other party entered this place with a "Gao Ta Trial Invitation Letter," they do not have the permission to enter the thirteenth and fourteenth floors, thus completely preventing guys who like to harm others and not benefit themselves from destroying the "Super-World-Tier Sealing Technique" located on the top floor.
Only in the future, if there is a Law-Extinguishing Shadow who has been to the Gray Sanctuary and obtained the Watcher's map and the 30-digit startup secret lock of the Old Tree Clan, can they pass through the layout of the Eroding Rain Land and open the front door of the Watcher's Gao Ta to enter this place in a normal way.
And only in this way can they finally step into the top floor after passing the layers of trials of the first twelve floors and activate the "Super-World-Tier Sealing Technique."
Su Xiao did not enter the Watcher's Gao Ta through the "Gao Ta Trial Invitation Letter." This also means that he does not need to be bound by the corresponding notarization. Even if the comprehensive combat power of the Dark Eater in his team has exceeded the participation limit of the trial, it can still participate in this challenge.
【Prompt: Detected that you are in a team. Yes/No to participate in this trial in the form of a team.】
【Already chose to participate in this trial in the form of a team.】
【Number of team members: 7 (including followers).】
【Because the comprehensive ability limit of your team has exceeded the predetermined value, all challenge limits of the Watcher's Gao Ta have been lifted, and at the same time, all team members have obtained better "Trial Settlement" rewards.】
【The first floor of the Gao Ta challenge is about to begin.】
【As the team leader, your identity judgment will determine the faction of your team in this round.】
【Your faction is: Reincarnation Paradise · Hunter.】
【Hostile faction judgment in progress...】
【Inviting the same number of violators...】
【The corresponding invitation has been completed. A total of seven violators are participating in this challenge. If the violator faction wins, they will obtain 1.5 times the "Trial Settlement" reward of this round's challenge reward.】
【Competition content selection in progress...】
