Chapter 3746: Luck

~20 min read 3,922 words

The secret told by the Dark-Eater was truly beyond Su Xiao's expectations. He had guessed before that Green Gillian's remnant soul was still there, especially when he gathered the 【Soul-Severing Shadow Stone】 and mastered the 【Soul-Severing Shadow】 ability, he was bitten by the other party for more than 50,000 mana points, directly emptying his blue bar, and he had to meditate for a long time to recover.

Su Xiao clearly remembered that on the way he mastered the 【Soul-Severing Shadow】 ability, it was a vast unknown realm, and a blurry beautiful shadow appeared.

When the other party first appeared, she was quite mysterious and beautiful. Now it seems that the beauty she deliberately displayed was clearly to prevent Su Xiao from immediately breaking away from that unknown realm.

That blurry figure was more than 90% likely to be Green Gillian. Although the other party still had a remnant soul, she was trapped somewhere. Because the time was too long, she was almost about to dissipate. This 50,000-plus points of homologous body energy gave Green Gillian, who was about to be unable to hold on, a wave of continuation.

Su Xiao was not surprised that Green Gillian's remnant soul was still there, but the problem was that the other party's remnant soul was actually in the Eternal Light World. This was very surprising. You know, this is the cage where the Law-Destroyer faction imprisons World-Extinguishing existences and Abyss-nourished creatures. It can be said that this is the place where the Law-Destroyer faction has the most enemies, none other.

But thinking that this was Green Gillian, everything seemed reasonable. That female Law-Destroyer's thinking, let alone ordinary people, even other Law-Destroyers sometimes found it difficult to keep up with her brain circuit. How could the most evil Law-Destroyer in history be undeserved?

Su Xiao had a deep understanding of this point. As the last Law-Destroyer, he would occasionally take the blame for things from the previous generation of Law-Destroyers. Among them, ten times of taking the blame, at least seven times were because of Green Gillian. At this moment, the Dark-Eater beside him was because he was bullied by Green Gillian back then and felt aggrieved, so he was so hostile to Law-Destroyers later.

However, the Dark-Eater was also a bit silly. This was reflected in many things. For example, when he was in the Feng Hai Continent, he went to step on the spot near the Lord's Manor where Su Xiao lived. On a snowy day, he didn't even cover his footprints. More importantly, wherever he passed, the snow was eroded by dark-type energy into black footprints.

At that time, after Baha saw these footprints, he was stunned. He once thought that this was the enemy's strategy, wanting to use this as a deterrent so that his side would always be on guard. Later, Baha found that he thought too much. The guy who came to step on the spot was just a silly guy.

In fact, these were all small problems for the Dark-Eater. Su Xiao operated a little, and the Dark-Eater was fooled. At this moment, he was prepared to join the 'good teammates' again to go to the Extremely Dark Castle. It can be said that having such a strong and silly guy in the team just filled the short board of the team.

What is the short board of the 'good teammates' team? The answer is that it is difficult to show weakness to the enemy, which leads to the enemy being exceptionally vigilant. Whether it is Su Xiao, Zuiyas, Wood, or Caesar, none of them look easy to fool, or rather, not being fooled by them is considered a safe retreat.

Now that there is the Dark-Eater, he will become the focus in the eyes of the enemy. At the very least, it gives the enemy room to operate, which can make the enemy who originally turned and left try to operate, and then operate themselves to death.

Among Green Gillian's many enemies, the Dark-Eater couldn't be ranked. Serphilia, whose Abyss resistance was at least 80 points or more, was the strong enemy. Not only that, according to secret news from Saintess Seat, it is said that Serphilia seemed to be moving towards the Supreme Tier. This was the news Su Xiao received before entering the Eternal Light World.

Speaking of which, besides losing some sanity because of being hurt by the female Law-Destroyer, Serphilia was both strong and calm at other times. The Abyss has not erupted in the Void until now, which is closely related to the other party's actions.

What is even more vigilant is that when facing Saint Flame Potion Master for the first time, Serphilia did not show the arrogance of a spellcaster, or rather, even to ordinary people, Serphilia was just cold and not arrogant.

In fact, this is also normal. When that evil female Law-Destroyer was fascinated and ignored all the risks of camp hostility to hook up with the new star spellcaster of the Arcane Eternal Star, one could see Serphilia's excellence in the past.

Suddenly, Su Xiao thought of a question: when he first met Serphilia, the other party opened her killing intent fully without him showing any hostility. This was very different from Serphilia's many subsequent performances. Even if the other party had been hurt by the female Law-Destroyer, so many years had passed, there was no need for the meeting to show killing intent so obviously.

What made the Mage Sage Serphilia, who guarded the Void Abyss invasion, lose her composure to that extent? It was likely not because of that female Law-Destroyer, but because the appearance of Su Xiao, the last Law-Destroyer, directly touched a certain achievement of Serphilia for many years, and this achievement was... Green Wei!

1. The increasingly serious Abyss invasion of the Void.

Serphilia has always been responsible for suppressing the Abyss invading the Void.

Green Wei, a pseudo-Law-Destroyer artificially cultivated by Serphilia using the cells of the previous generation Law-Destroyer Green Gillian.

Su Xiao combined these three, and some of Serphilia's mysterious actions before suddenly became not difficult to understand.

First of all, the appearance of Su Xiao, the last Law-Destroyer, directly touched Serphilia's painstaking achievement for many years. That should be a method to completely suppress the Abyss spread of the Void by relying on Green Wei. In this way, the Arcane Eternal Star would continue to sit firmly as the strongest hegemony force in the Void, and no one could shake it.

And Su Xiao's appearance made some things that should have gone to Green Wei go to Su Xiao. This thing, Su Xiao didn't need to consider too much, and knew it was "Law-Destroyer Luck".

Serphilia studied for many years and finally found a method to completely solve the Void being invaded by the Abyss. The premise of this method required Green Wei, as a Law-Destroyer-like person, to inherit the Law-Destroyer Luck first. This is the luck of the entire Law-Destroyer faction, and the volume is quite huge. Don't forget, the Law-Destroyer faction was the peak of the Void in the last era.

Law-Destroyers are closely related to natural elements, the Abyss, etc. More specifically, how Serphilia wants to suppress the Abyss invasion of the Void with Law-Destroyer Luck, this is unknown.

The key point is that originally, the Law-Destroyer Luck inheritance on Green Wei's side had some clues, but suddenly it disappeared without a trace, because all the Law-Destroyer Luck was added to Su Xiao. As the last Law-Destroyer, he cannot be compared to Green Wei, who is a Law-Destroyer-like person in the inheritance system.

Therefore, after discovering the existence of the Law-Destroyer Su Xiao, Serphilia lost her mind and wanted to kill Su Xiao. Only if Su Xiao died could her achievements for so many years continue, and the things she bet everything on could bloom with the brilliance they should have.

So when in the Feng Hai Continent, even if Serphilia knew that Green Wei being kidnapped was a trap, she still chose to go.

This made Su Xiao confirm one point: assuming that what he said before, letting Green Gillian revive with Green Wei, was a delusion, then after guessing the Mage Sage's plan, Su Xiao estimated that Green Gillian really might revive. Although she would not revive permanently, even if she revived briefly, it would be enough for the Arcane Eternal Star to suffer. This is more uncomfortable for the Arcane Eternal Star than detonating ten Sun Holy Swords on the Arcane Eternal Star.

Besides this, Su Xiao was also very interested in the secret technique that Serphilia studied to suppress the Abyss with Law-Destroyer Luck. Without thinking, he knew that the cost of using that secret technique would be very large, but there should be something worth learning from it.

Thinking through these, Su Xiao's train of thought was relatively clear. If he really found Green Gillian's remnant soul, he would definitely save her. If it were a normal Law-Destroyer predecessor, Su Xiao would rescue her directly. However, this guy didn't make him take the blame less, so she must take out enough thanks. Her attainments in 【Soul-Severing Shadow】 were unprecedented among the past Law-Destroyers.

Su Xiao walked into the treasure vault in front. The treasure vault was dark. Su Xiao took out a Soul Coin and injected body energy into it. The next second, the Soul Coin repelled the Green Steel Shadow energy and emitted a faint light. This faint light could not only illuminate, but because of its soul characteristics, it could also reflect more than 95% of curse traps, etc.

The shelves in the treasure vault had already decayed. After observing for a while, Su Xiao found that this time it was either a big profit or no gain, because this treasure vault was a remnant of the last era, that is, when the Eternal Light World was still a transcendent native world, a treasure vault of a certain force in that civilization.

In a pile of ash, Su Xiao picked up a Soul Crystal Soul. Just as he held it up with one hand, the Soul Crystal Soul shattered, turned into rough crystal grease residue, and fell through his fingers.

Su Xiao looked at the pile of crystal grease residue on the ground, feeling that this treasure vault, which didn't seem particularly large, must have a great origin. He came to the innermost part of the treasure vault, and a throne that looked like it had been burned by fire and had traces of melting came into view. The intuition ability suddenly appeared a warning: don't touch this thing.

Su Xiao looked at the Dark-Eater beside him and said: "Don't touch."

Leaving this sentence, he continued to search in the treasure vault. Half a minute later, he heard a woo-ya sound from behind. Turning his head to look, the Dark-Eater was lying next to the stone chair, his body twitching one after another. From the white lines in his eyes, it seemed he was rolling his eyes a bit.

Su Xiao found that only this throne in the treasure vault was well preserved. He stepped forward and tried to touch it. Intuition had no sense of crisis. It was the Dark-Eater who touched this stone throne just now, triggering the defensive secret pattern on it. But because the secret pattern had existed for too many years, after triggering it once, it couldn't be triggered a second time for a long time.

Regarding the Dark-Eater's personality, Su Xiao had already roughly understood it. If you tell him what a rare treasure this throne is, he will never approach it and will remain on guard. But if you tell him not to touch it, he will definitely study using his index finger to poke it.

After observing for a while, Su Xiao found the dark compartment on the armrest of the throne. After opening it, there were two balls inside, one dark gold and one pitch black. The texture was somewhat similar to obsidian, but the density was higher.

【You have obtained the Dark Orb.】

【You have obtained the Greed Orb.】

【Dark Orb】

Origin: Dark Continent.

Equipment effect: Dark Nourishment (Passive), carry it with you, or equip it in a special accessory slot, can nourish your own dark characteristics at a slow speed.

Introduction: A proud work of craftsmen on the Dark Continent.

【Greed Orb】

Origin: Dark Continent.

Equipment effect: Sign of Greed (Passive), when carried with you, or equipped in a special accessory slot, if there is a secret treasure within 100 meters, this item will emit a unique fluctuation and emit the radiance of the secret treasure, drifting towards the location of the secret treasure.

Equipment penalty: Greed Misfortune (Passive), when carried with you, or equipped in a special accessory slot, it will significantly reduce your own luck (because your luck lower limit value is too low, this penalty is invalid for you).

Introduction: Those who are greedy for secret treasures will always be unlucky occasionally. Of course, if you are already unlucky enough, then this orb can do nothing to you.

Su Xiao equipped the 【Greed Orb】. Although the introduction of his "Hunting Vision" skill marked that it could see secret treasures, this characteristic was more like an attachment. Assuming the detection strength of "Hunting Vision" for World-Extinguishing creatures was 000, the efficacy of finding secret treasures was only 5.

The current 【Greed Orb】 is different. This thing was manufactured specifically for sensing secret treasures. As for the origin of this thing being the Dark Continent, this is not worth being strange. The Dark Continent was also a transcendent native world, and this place was too. It is normal for two transcendent worlds to have dealings with each other.

Su Xiao tossed the 【Dark Orb】 in his hand. The Dark-Eater on the side looked up slightly, eyes watery. Seeing this, Baha's unscrupulousness flared up and said: "This thing improves dark attributes, it's quite suitable for the Dark-Eater."

Hearing this, the Dark-Eater's favorability towards Baha in his heart increased by 5 points. But just as this favorability increased, Baha said again: "However, the Dark Lady can also use this thing. Boss, given your relationship with the Dark Lady, it must be for the Dark Lady."

Baha was just talking nonsense. The Dark Lady didn't need to strengthen her own dark characteristics. The Dark Lady's dark characteristics were not obtained through hard cultivation, but because she was sealing an ultimate dark object.

Hearing this, the Dark-Eater's favorability towards Baha in his heart decreased by 5 points. Although he was a bit silly, he still knew that Baha was deliberately teasing him.

"..."

Su Xiao tossed the 【Dark Orb】 to the Dark-Eater. It wasn't because of anything else. If it weren't for the other party touching the stone throne, he wouldn't necessarily choose to take the risk to obtain these two orbs. Judging from the gray mist still emitting from the Dark-Eater, touching the stone throne was not an easy thing.

Leaving the treasure vault, Su Xiao took the Angry Beast train back to Iron Black City and arrived at the agreed location. He met Zuiyas and Wood. In the tavern with a metal style, Zuiyas was sitting on a seat, one arm hanging down naturally, and the whole person looked listless.

"Don't worry about him. A few hours ago, this guy was swallowed by a giant alien demon."

Wood pushed a glass of wine to Su Xiao. Seeing this, the Dark-Eater said: "Give me a glass."

"Children are not allowed to drink."

Wood spoke with a smile. Hearing this, the Dark-Eater was stunned for a moment. He asked: "Who do you guess I was caught by back then, and then became hostile to the Law-Destroyer? How many years ago was that?"

"This..."

Wood had nothing to say and poured a glass for the Dark-Eater. After the Dark-Eater took a sip, his face, full of porcelain-like cracks, wrinkled together. Although he had existed for a long time, his outdoor activity time was actually only a few decades, and the rest was sleeping. And in these few decades of traveling, he basically didn't interact much with intelligent beings, and no intelligent beings dared to talk to him easily.

"Hard to drink."

The Dark-Eater pushed the wine glass away with a look of disgust and began to look around. After feeling bored, he took out the 【Dark Orb】 to fiddle with it. After a while, Su Xiao found that this guy put his index finger and middle finger into his mouth and made a retching gesture. Noticing Su Xiao's gaze, the Dark-Eater quibbled: "My tooth hurts, what are you looking at!"

When Su Xiao stopped looking here and began to close his eyes and rest, the Dark-Eater finally spat out the 【Dark Orb】 and decided never to put this thing in his mouth again.

Did the Dark-Eater's style change drastically? Actually, it didn't. This guy was originally like this, but he was hostile before, so he always maintained a serious expression. Now that he entered the cooperation stage, he gradually let himself go. It's no wonder that the Sea King of the Feng Hai Continent allowed the Dark-Eater to be in the main city of the Sea Clan.

Speaking of which, the Dark-Eater's luck was definitely the ceiling of the 'good teammates' team. First of all, it was the Dark Spirit, and the Dark Spirit itself was similar to the Son of the World, and the Dark-Eater was the ultimate individual among the Dark Spirits. In addition, he devoured other Dark Spirits. It is no exaggeration to say that he was blessed with luck.

Not to mention anything else, as a World-Extinguishing creature, just being able to escape from Green Gillian's hands, and not being slashed by Su Xiao after he ascended to the Absolute Tier, one could see some of the Dark-Eater's good luck. And before, when the Dark-Eater was rushing to Iron Black City, the rocky ground suddenly collapsed, and he fell into a cave. Looking closely, in front was a treasure vault door.

In this way, Su Xiao was the combat representative of the team, Zuiyas was the survivability representative, Wood was the weird means representative, Caesar was the operation representative, and the last Dark-Eater was the good luck representative.

Not letting everyone wait long, Caesar appeared out of thin air. He opened a small cloth bag and poured out six black crystals. Each member of the team had one piece. According to Caesar's investigation, if you want to enter the Extremely Dark Castle, you also need a ticket, but this ticket is more general, and items that can significantly improve dark resistance can be used, so the Dark-Eater doesn't need this ticket.

A group of people took the train from Station 0 to Station 8. On the way, Su Xiao had been meditating. After adapting to the extreme environment of the Eternal Light World, he could already meditate here, and this extreme elemental environment could further exercise the stability of meditation.

When the train stopped and the train door opened, a wet and cold dark feeling drifted into the train door. After getting off the train, walking along the tunnel leading to the ground, the soil on the inner wall of the tunnel was pitch black, but a layer of fine white particles seeped out on the surface.

Touching with your index finger, you will find that this is a type of salt. After the skin touches this salt, the moisture in the skin is quickly absorbed. If you don't clean it as soon as possible, the whole finger will quickly wither and finally become like a dead tree branch.

Out of the tunnel, the scene that came into view was gray and white. The earth was covered with gray and white salt, and occasionally black land was exposed in some places. The sky was overcast, and black energy dust particles were scattered in the air. This ominous scene made people subconsciously not want to set foot in this place. This is one of the several dangerous areas in the Eternal Light World, the Wet Salt Area, a place where thirst disease spreads.

The so-called thirst disease is not a disease, but the moisture in the body is slowly absorbed by the dark salt. Finally, before dying of thirst, the sanity value will slide to a negative number, thereby causing madness or insanity.

At the moment, Su Xiao was not prepared to go too deep into the Wet Salt Area. There was a small town deep in the Wet Salt Area, and there were still many residents in the small town. But generally, Absolute Tier World-Extinguishing creatures did not dare to enter this small town rashly. One can imagine how terrifying that small town full of black steel spire buildings was. The worst news was that the entrance to the Monarch's Treasure was located in that terrifying small town.

At the current stage, Su Xiao was not prepared to approach that side. He followed the markings on the map and moved towards the south side of the Wet Salt Area. The further he went, the darker the surrounding environment became. I don't know when, dilapidated buildings appeared around. There were large splashes of blood on the walls of these buildings, mixed with the salt above, giving people an exceptionally strong sense of cruelty.

When Su Xiao stopped, he was already at the main entrance of an ancient mansion. He didn't encounter any enemies along the way, but this was by no means a good thing, which meant that the Extremely Dark Castle was more dangerous than expected.

Zuiyas walked into the darkness of the main entrance first, and then disappeared. This was sucked into it by the darkness. Seeing this, Su Xiao also walked into it.

Just entering the darkness, Su Xiao felt a sense of teleportation, and then it was pitch black around him. I don't know how long it took, he opened his eyes in the darkness. This was inside the Extremely Dark Castle. Which floor it was, he didn't know very well. This was a room with a double bed and luxurious but old furniture.

As Su Xiao sat up, the candles on the round table nearby lit up automatically. He tried to release his perception and found that the suppression of perception here was very serious, and the interior of this castle was dozens of times larger than it looked from the outside. This was determined by exploring the positions of Bubu Wang and Baha through team functions, especially Baha, who was at least a thousand meters away from Su Xiao.

Creak~

The room door opened automatically, and cold mist drifted into the room. A ghost wearing a translucent blood-colored long dress, with long hair floating on its own, and scarlet eyes, drifted into the room. This was clearly coming to take Su Xiao's life.

Su Xiao stood up from the bed. Because of the release of blood energy, the surrounding furniture, walls, and ceiling cracked. As he pressed one hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, the aura unique to the Sword Technique Master shrouded a surrounding area.

Su Xiao's blood energy, soul aura, and the aura unique to the Sword Technique Master made the scarlet-eyed ghost stop there. After the two sides confronted each other, the eyes of the scarlet-eyed ghost actually gradually became clear, and it slowly drifted backward towards the door.
