Chapter 3868: Strong Enemy
Regarding the contract requirements of the Dusk City high-level officials, Su Xiao and Wood strongly opposed them. They were just going as representatives of Dusk City to win back the "Sun Source Stones" one by one, so why sign a contract? So the two asked Sin-Ais to help pass the message, telling the high-level officials of Dusk City that signing a contract was impossible.
However, the high-level officials of Dusk City did not budge on this matter. The reason was also that they were worried that if this team won back the "Sun Source Stones," they would not hand over the won "Sun Source Stones" to Dusk City, so they were exceptionally firm in their attitude toward signing the contract.
Seeing that the high-level officials of Dusk City were so firm, Su Xiao and Wood could only "be forced to compromise." Both sides agreed to sign the contract for this time in the Council Hall of the Inner City District tomorrow morning.
Their operation made a series of statements by the Daughter of Nature, Erucle, become unbelievable. For example, in the rumors of the outside world, Su Xiao and Wood were "Contract Masters," and what kind of price would be paid for signing a contract with them, etc.
The high-level officials of Dusk City indeed didn't know the rumors in the worlds, but they personally felt the attitude of Su Xiao and Wood. Ask, where is there a Contract Master who would be so resistant when signing a contract? Even if they feigned refusal, they wouldn't do it to this extent.
This is one of the greatest weaknesses of human nature. People will subconsciously doubt those collaborations that come to their door, and conversely, if it was won with great effort, they will not have any doubt, but think about facilitating it as soon as possible.
The high noble in charge of this matter clearly fell into this thinking trap. By the next morning, Su Xiao, Sin-Ais, and Wood boarded a carriage to the Inner City District. This carriage was extremely luxurious and was generally only used in the Inner City District because the Outer City District was too large.
At 8:00 in the morning, the carriage stopped in front of the Council Hall in the Inner City. The spacious venue was paved with yellowish-brown stone slabs, and the fountain in the pool brought a splashing sound. In the center of the venue was a tall sculpture. This sculpture wore a crown, held the end of a great sword with both hands, had a long beard tied up, and wore armor. This was the first Sun King, the person who led the Sun God Race to the peak.
The clash between the Sun King and the Ancient Dragon King was already a matter of the peak period of the First Era. Records that could be preserved to this day were already very rare. Su Xiao didn't know the ending of the Sun King, and the Ancient Dragon King, that is, the Ancient King, should have been defeated by the Sun King, otherwise, it would be impossible to appear in the Witch World later.
Except for the Wang Gong in the Central City District, the Council Hall in the Inner City District was basically the center of power in Dusk City. There were more than a dozen councilors here, all served by high nobles of the Inner City District. Of course, if the Sun Monarch Ashlot came forward, these high nobles would all have to bow down. However, the Sun Monarch Ashlot, who was in the Wang Gong of the Central City District, didn't show up once in a few years.
This also led to the fact that the officials of Dusk City usually worked on the second to tenth floors of the Council Hall. They were actually the people who often came here. The high nobles would only appear one after another during important council meetings.
Just as Su Xiao and others got off the carriage, a woman who didn't look outstanding but had a capable temperament walked toward them and asked, "Are you the three who came to fulfill the appointment and sign the contract?"
This kind of negotiation was naturally handled by Wood. Wood, in a dark purple suit, shook hands with the other party politely. After the initial negotiation, the two walked into the Council Hall laughing and talking. During this period, the capable woman named Bedia didn't forget to explain the contract situation today to Su Xiao and Sin-Ais.
Bedia, as an ordinary person, had neither confusion-type abilities nor high charm attributes, but negotiating with her just made people feel relaxed and comfortable. Thinking about it, being able to work under high nobles, she must have her strengths.
Speaking of which, who among the three good teammates would come forward when negotiating with others depended on what kind of person they encountered. If it was a social expert like Bedia, Wood would come forward. If the other party was a rascal and went back on their word, Sin-Ais would come forward. If the other party couldn't be negotiated with, naturally Su Xiao would come forward.
Sin-Ais and Wood both tried their best not to let Su Xiao come forward, because after negotiating with him, whether the negotiated person could continue to breathe was really uncertain.
Under Bedia's guidance, the three of Su Xiao came to a small council hall on the inner side of the Council Hall. Someone was already sitting here, the Daughter of Nature, Erucle. Her light red long hair was half-tied. The change in hair color also represented the change in Erucle's mood. When she was angry, her hair color was deep red; when she was in a good mood, it was light gold; when she was down, it was light black; when she had killing intent, it was light blue; when the killing intent was strong, it was dark blue; when she was confused, it was milky white.
At first glance at the Daughter of Nature, Erucle, one would only feel that she was a bit beautiful, not stunning. As one got along with her, one would feel that she was more and more charming. That was not a feeling that could be described by beauty; it was a kind of seeing the most beautiful face in fantasy.
However, this peerless face could not make Su Xiao's heart fluctuate. He had a clear attitude toward the handling of the opposing side: if there was a chance, he would definitely kill with one slash. Even if he hesitated for 0.1 seconds, it would be a mistake.
Why did the Daughter of Nature, Erucle, want to join the Dusk City team? The answer was that it was not Erucle who wanted to do so. This time, the Arcane Eternal Star sent two teams, one team of hundreds of spellcasters, led by Lord Soul, and the other team had only Erucle.
The goals of the two teams were different. The team led by Lord Soul was to solve Su Xiao, the biggest hidden danger of the Arcane Eternal Star today, and Erucle's goal was a supreme treasure of the Sun Star, named "Dark Moon Star Ring."
The "Dark Moon Star Ring" was not in the Southern Continent, but in the "Ancient Gao Ta" northwest of the Underground City in the Northern Continent. The problem was that the success rate of going to the "Ancient Gao Ta" alone to get the "Dark Moon Star Ring" was too low, and going with other Arcane Eternal Star Absolute-Tiers would attract unnecessary attention and trouble.
The high-level officials of the Arcane Eternal Star knew the contractors of the major paradises too well. Once these contractors discovered that the Arcane Eternal Star had sent a strong team, they would definitely stare at them at the first time and find an opportunity to pick up leaks from it.
So, Su Xiao and Caesar forged the news that the Sun Star had the "Origin Stone · World," and the Arcane Eternal Star was also one of the beneficiaries. They actually wanted to come to the Sun Star long ago. Even, they had the ability to destroy this world. It was a question of whether it was worth it. From the Law-Extinguisher era to now, the Absolute-Tiers and Supreme-Tiers of the Arcane Eternal Star seemed not to have increased.
This was too unreasonable. On the Arcane Eternal Star, spellcasters invested massive resources in the "Zhongshi Academy." In the past, 70% of the resources produced by the Prosperous Star and the Black Maple Tree were swallowed by the "Zhongshi Academy."
It was because of this unfathomable foundation that all major factions in the Void, the Devil Race, the Feather Race, etc., had to bow their heads in the face of the Arcane Eternal Star's strength.
There was another point: how many strong people a faction had was directly related to the thickness of the faction's luck. The most direct manifestation of this aspect was the response when facing the Big Daddy-level Original Sin Object.
Su Xiao previously sent an Original Sin Object to the Sea Race, and the Sea Race's group luck almost collapsed. Therefore, the personal friendship between the Sea King and Su Xiao was still good. After all, with some friendship between the two sides, even if there were frictions in anything in the future, Su Xiao would not be good at sending an Original Sin Object directly.
Looking at the Arcane Eternal Star, among the Original Sin Objects held by Su Xiao, except for the Scarlet Scepter, others were sent to the Arcane Eternal Star. Although the Arcane Eternal Star wore a painful mask, its luck didn't almost crack. This could only explain one point: the number of strong people in the Arcane Eternal Star was far more terrifying than imagined.
Thinking about it, if the hidden power of the Arcane Eternal Star was not strong enough, the major factions in the Void would have joined forces to destroy the Arcane Eternal Star long ago. The increasingly serious Abyss invasion in the Void, the spellcasters were the culprits.
The Arcane Eternal Star didn't choose to attack the Sun Star head-on for the "Dark Moon Star Ring," not because they didn't dare, but because of whether it was worth it after weighing the pros and cons. This time, many people entered the Sun Star, making the three major factions of this world have to endure the entry of a large number of outsiders into this world for the time being, which naturally became the best opportunity for the Arcane Eternal Star.
A more explicit statement was that Lord Soul brought people to surround and kill Su Xiao, while Erucle, who acted alone, was responsible for obtaining the "Dark Moon Star Ring."
Erucle's optimal solution was to join the Dusk City team. Among the enemies that the Dusk City team would deal with later, there was the Gao Ta Knight Commander, and it was the second boss to be dealt with immediately after dealing with the first boss, the distorted beast god.
However, heaven has unexpected storms. Erucle joined this team first. What surprised her was that among the subsequent team members, there were actually the camp enemy Law-Extinguisher and the Law-Extinguisher's two accomplices.
The current situation was that the contract had been signed. Either breach the contract or deal with the Law-Extinguisher Bai Ye. As for the idea of single-killing a Law-Extinguisher of the same rank, Erucle, as an elemental spellcaster, would never be so mindless.
In contrast, as long as Erucle dealt with Lord Soul until he entered this world, with her position as a coordinate, Lord Soul would be more convenient to hunt down Su Xiao, and even instantly soul-transmit to Erucle's side. At that time, the top Supreme-Tier fighting the Absolute-Tier would definitely be a must-kill situation.
As an elemental spellcaster, Erucle had the top survival ability of the same rank, and she was carrying one of the supreme treasures of the Arcane Eternal Star, the "Golden Law Ring," which was the strongest life-saving supreme treasure among the several supreme treasures of the Arcane Eternal Star.
Looking at it this way, Erucle's choice to stay in this team and deal with Su Xiao was a very good choice. If Lord Soul successfully killed Su Xiao later, she could also take the opportunity to go to the "Ancient Gao Ta" and take the second goal of this trip, the "Dark Moon Star Ring."
Regarding the function of the "Dark Moon Star Ring," this thing could curb the opening of the Abyss channel to a certain extent. Thinking about it, the situation of the Abyss channel that could not be closed in the Void Green Wetland was becoming more and more serious, so the Arcane Eternal Star set its sights on the "Dark Moon Star Ring," this legendary secret treasure.
The door of the council hall was pushed open, and a man wearing a black cloak and dark silver armor walked into the council hall. His gaze was a bit gloomy, and he didn't seem to want to participate in today's matters, but forced by the constraints of several other parties, he could only show up in person.
This person was named Luciva, a hereditary high noble. Unlike other high nobles, he belonged to the combat power representative among the high nobles. The strength of the top echelon of Absolute-Tier made him have a high status among a group of old fox high nobles. More importantly, he was the legion commander of the Ranger Group.
Looking at the Sun Star, besides the Old Day Guardians composed of Sun Knights, the Ranger Group had the strongest combat power. This legion wandered outside the city all year round. What was even more surprising was that the Ranger Group would enter the "No-Light Zone" every year.
Exploring the "No-Light Zone" more than 60 times in total, the members of the group had to be replenished on a large scale every year. Even so, it still didn't stop the Ranger Group and their legion commander Luciva's belief in exploring the "No-Light Zone."
The strong people represented by Luciva always believed that inheriting the "Blood of the Sun" was no longer the best way to maintain Dusk City, but to solve the more root cause, that is, the "No-Light Zone" that constantly spread Abyss energy.
Only by solving the problem of the continuous invasion of Abyss energy could the Sun Star gradually restore the glory of the past. Regarding Luciva's view, no one in Dusk City denied it for the time being. An accepted fact was that in the Sun camp of this world, the Sun Monarch Ashlot had the strongest strength, followed by Luciva.
More importantly, the soldiers under Luciva were different from the city guards who gained power through "Monster Hearts" in the city. Although the soldiers under Luciva also gained power through "Monster Hearts," they often explored the "No-Light Zone," and fighting monsters to the death was part of their daily life.
Luciva, who rarely returned to Dusk City to rest, was now involved in the power struggles of the old foxes, and naturally, his mood was not very good. But just as he sat down, he suddenly found that the aura of the guy opposite was wrong. For a moment, Luciva felt that he was not in Dusk City, but in the Abyss mist of the No-Light Zone, and opposite him was a looming, huge blood beast.
At this moment, the complaints in Luciva's heart about those old guys were reduced a bit. After staring at Su Xiao for a few seconds, he took out a flat metal wine flask, unscrewed it, and was about to drink, but it was covered by a hand.
"Just yesterday, the doctor told you not to drink for the next month, Luciva... my lord."
The social expert Bedia said with a smile. Because of the prestige of his childhood sweetheart and his wife who gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, the legion commander Luciva, who had just faced Su Xiao's blood aura with a cold gaze, remained silent, screwed on the flask, and put it back into his arms.
"This is the contract. If there is nothing wrong, you two sign it. Of course, you don't have to sign it. I suggest you don't sign it. Those old guys are more difficult to deal with than the other."
Luciva, who was pulled out as a shield, didn't care whether Su Xiao and Wood signed the contract. After Su Xiao picked up the contract, he quickly found something wrong. It seemed that Dusk City also had capable people in terms of contracts, but the level of this contract capable person was still a bit insufficient.
Comparing with the data of the Paradise camp, it was:
Su Xiao: Contract Master Lv. 96.
Wood: Contract Master Lv. 96.
Dusk City contract capable person: Contract Specialty Lv. 45.
Su Xiao picked up the contract pen and wrote "Law-Extinguisher Kuku Lin Bai Ye" on it. No one noticed that this contract had become 59 layers without changing its thickness.
After Wood took the contract pen, he seemed to be reading the content of the contract, and the tip of the pen tapped on the table beside him one by one. At the same time, the contract parchment, which had quietly turned into 59 layers, began to change its characteristics.
"Contract... signed."
After writing his name on the contract, Wood said his catchphrase. Almost at the same time, on the 58 layers of contracts beneath the surface of this contract, each appeared the signatures of several high noble old foxes. This contract was drafted by these high nobles. Now Wood carried out the contract cause-and-effect spread, naturally involving these high nobles hidden behind the scenes.
This contract parchment was placed quietly on the table. Wood pushed it aside. Yesterday, Sin-Ais also signed it. Now it should naturally be shown to the other party, but Sin-Ais didn't intend to touch this contract, or rather, he didn't want to look at this thing again, lest he sign a few contracts inexplicably just by glancing at it.
It wasn't that Sin-Ais was cautious, but that he trusted the contract ability of his two "good teammates" more. Before knowing these two good teammates, he occasionally used parchment with contract power, but now, every time he saw contract parchment, he would have a feeling of whether this thing would suddenly split into dozens of layers.
"You two are actually really willing to sign this contract. Should I say you are reckless or courageous?"
Luciva frowned and spoke. He always felt that something was wrong with this matter.
Hearing Luciva's words, Sin-Ais looked at the contract on the table again. He never felt that his two "good teammates" had the quality of being courageous. These two guys disappeared very quickly when they encountered danger. Instead, he felt that the high-level officials of Dusk City were really courageous.
"Forget it, everyone has their own choices."
Luciva got up, leaving his wife Bedia as his representative, and he went to rest himself. He had been deep in the No-Light Zone for two months this time, during which he didn't close his eyes for even half a second.
"Since everyone has signed the contract, prepare to set off for the 'Land of God Exile.' If the information is correct, the first strong enemy of yours is there."
Bedia took out four maps and gave one to Su Xiao, Sin-Ais, Wood, and Erucle each. After Su Xiao looked at this Southern Continent map for a while, he asked, "Where is the Scroll Master?"
"Mr. Bai Ye, what are you talking about?"
Bedia looked puzzled, as if she really didn't understand what Su Xiao was saying.
"Find someone who can make a decision to talk to me."
"Okay, please wait a few minutes."
Bedia switched between playing dumb and being an insider in seconds. She continued: "Several, I represent the Old Nobles of Dusk City and have arranged temporary manors and food for you. Please follow me."
The Old Nobles Bedia spoke of were one of the three camps in Dusk City. However, compared to the Old Nobles, Su Xiao was more inclined to cooperate with the Great Library, because the Great Library had a certain degree of hostility with the Monarch camp controlled by the Sun Monarch Ashlot, which might be operable.
Only Su Xiao was left in the council hall. He sat back and meditated. Suddenly, a dark and thick perception came from the right side. He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the dark perception. A few kilometers away, there was a large bell tower, which was the location of the Great Library.
Looking at the distant bell tower, Su Xiao's intention to cooperate with the Great Library dropped sharply. Compared to cooperating with the sages who fell into the Abyss, he was more willing to conspire with the old foxes of the noble camp. At the very least, the latter's judgment would not have any problems.
Although it was only through meditation and long-distance perception, Su Xiao already had a preliminary understanding of the Abyss energy studied by the Great Library. What they mastered was a type of "Alien Abyss Energy," dark, filthy, and pervasive like viscous black liquid.
More importantly, the decaying aura in the bell tower was a kind of stench of life decay after escaping death many times and living in an ugly way. It seemed that the Eyeless Sage of the Great Library was definitely not as rumored, having only taken over the Great Library a hundred years ago.
It might be that this ultimate old immortal was from the era of the first Sun King, that is, an old monster who had survived from the Void First Era to now.
Tap, tap, tap~
The sound of a cane occasionally tapping on the ground came. The door was pushed open, and an old man with a slightly hunched back and luxurious but somewhat old-fashioned clothing walked into the room. His dress was very clean and decent, but unlike other nobles, he should be relatively frugal in his life.
A person's dress and demeanor could be disguised, but the aura could not. This representative figure of the noble camp, the old noble Augustus, gave people the only feeling of exhaustion.
At the first glance at this high noble, combined with the aura of the old monster in the bell tower just now, Su Xiao judged one point: when he was in the Underground City before, the information given by the Dark Bishop Berhewa was inaccurate. The situation in Dusk City was actually not as complicated as expected.
The factions here were indeed three parties, but it was more like the open and secret struggle between the Sun Monarch Ashlot and the Great Library's old monster. As for the Old Nobles who were rumored to remain neutral, they actually fully supported the Sun Monarch Ashlot.
Even, the soul figure of the nobles, the old noble Augustus, was actually the most trusted confidant under the Sun Monarch Ashlot. The Sun Monarch only trusted two people: the current leader of the Sun Warriors and the old noble Augustus.
And the relationship between the Sun Monarch and the old monster was more complicated. The two sides were hostile in secret. The problem was that the Monarch camp could not do without gaining power through "Monster Hearts," and the Great Library mastered the core of this secret technique. Interestingly, the Great Library never dared to openly provoke the Monarch camp. If there was no Monarch camp to defend Dusk City, the destruction of the Great Library was a matter of time.
"Mr. Bai Ye, I have a premonition that you will bring a different ending to Dusk City. Whether it is good or bad, I don't know. This old man is not a prophet."
The old noble Augustus, with a wrinkled face and many age spots, spoke. His seemingly turbid eyes actually contained wisdom that made those dark scholars in the Great Library extremely fearful.
"Let me state one thing in advance: we didn't imprison the Scroll Master. He came here to fulfill an appointment, but his old friend is not worth him doing this. Those arrogant fools cannot understand what the Sun God Race has paid for this world."
The old noble Augustus had some anger, but he then smiled like a kind old man and continued:
"Since those fools are all dead, we have no reason not to let the Scroll Master leave, let alone block him from meeting his old friend."
The old noble Augustus was expressing his attitude. As for why he put his attitude so low at the beginning, naturally, he had his purpose.
"Thank you."
Su Xiao naturally knew the subtext of this high noble opposite, so he took the opportunity to give the other party a step down. With the step, the old noble Augustus said:
"If you want to thank me verbally, it's better to have some practical actions."
The old noble Augustus's thumb brushed over the gem on the cane. This was given to him by the Sun Monarch Ashlot, and he had always regarded it as a treasure.
"I have heard a legend that it is said that the Law-Extinguisher might be able to destroy the Undying Abyss-Born. I don't know if this legend is true or false?"
The old noble Augustus's rhetoric was quite high-level, replacing the point of setting up eyes in the Underground City with hearing from legends. No one would want to be stared at by eyes in the dark. Coupled with the fact that the negotiations between the two sides were quite harmonious, blindly showing how strong the information channels of the controlled faction were would instead be unpleasant.
"Perhaps it is really just a rumor."
Su Xiao naturally wouldn't admit immediately that he could kill the Abyss-Born. Wanting to ask for a high price in the transaction, playing dumb while knowing the truth was a method that worked every time.
"In my opinion, Bai Ye, you can do it. I also heard that after the Law-Extinguisher destroys the Abyss-Born, he can strengthen himself? Deep in the underground prison of Dusk City, three Abyss-Borns are sealed. I think you shouldn't miss this opportunity to strengthen yourself, Bai Ye."
The old noble Augustus said this so wonderfully. Clearly, he was asking Su Xiao to do something, but hearing it this way, it was Dusk City that helped Su Xiao provide an opportunity to become stronger. In this situation, how could Su Xiao be embarrassed to ask for a reward?
"There is indeed such a saying."
Su Xiao expressed his stance, which made the old noble Augustus's turbid eyes brighten a bit, because he knew that this young Law-Extinguisher was not easy to deal with. This move of advancing by retreating made him have to continue to listen quietly to what the other party said next.
"For a gifted Law-Extinguisher, devouring the source energy of the Abyss-Born can indeed strengthen himself, but I am clearly not gifted. I am just a Soul-Severing Shadow who still needs to use the Devouring Core to slowly transform when devouring the source energy of the Abyss-Born."
Su Xiao said these words. Fortunately, Grin Gillian was not present, otherwise, she would definitely be gritting her teeth and punching Su Xiao in the chest, and to the extent of breaking a few of his ribs.
"Although I cannot help your side destroy those three Abyss-Borns, I have some achievements in sealing, so I can provide your side with help in sealing."
Su Xiao's words made the old noble Augustus opposite the council table smile and shake his head, but he couldn't directly reject Su Xiao's face. He was still counting on him to help destroy the Abyss-Born later, so Augustus asked politely:
"Help in sealing? I don't know how you prove your attainments in sealing?"
The old noble Augustus might not have thought that this sentence of his fell into the pit Su Xiao dug. It was not that this old fox was not old and sinister enough, but that the pit Su Xiao dug was really too far beyond the cognition of intelligent creatures.
"Is it okay to prove it with this Book of Original Sin? I used it to seal five Original Sin Objects."
"?"
The old noble Augustus opposite was stunned on the spot. In this old fox's life, it was the first time he had such an expression.
Especially since Dusk City had an Original Sin Object, this made the old noble Augustus understand better how outrageous, ridiculous, and incredible the concept of sealing five Original Sin Objects was. As for saying this was bragging, the "Book of Original Sin" placed on the table was the best proof, a proof that others could not refute at all.
However, an old fox is an old fox. The old noble Augustus accepted this situation that could shatter his cognitive view at the fastest speed, and his smile was even more kind. He also used his thumb to brush over the gem on the cane as if it were normal, letting the several Absolute-Tiers hiding in the dark and the thousands of Inner City guards further away retreat.
Besiege Su Xiao here? Absolutely not! In the old noble Augustus's judgment at this moment, he had already decided one thing: this Law-Extinguisher could die anywhere, just not in their Dusk City!
From this point on, the old noble Augustus's negotiations clearly had less hypocrisy and more sincerity and kindness. In the end, both sides agreed that for every Abyss-Born Su Xiao helped Dusk City destroy, the noble camp would pay 500,000 soul coins.
Because this world had been isolated from the outside for too long, no soul coins? This problem was not big. Su Xiao introduced Caesar to the old noble Augustus. Dusk City didn't have soul coins, but didn't it have secret treasures? Selling them to Caesar, this guy often brought a large number of soul coins.
Calculating this way, Su Xiao helping Dusk City destroy an Abyss-Born could earn about 600,000 to 700,000 soul coins. As for Dusk City trading with others to obtain soul coins, this possibility was not big. The Arcane Eternal Star side hadn't entered yet. Contractors, hunters, battle angels, etc., who could still have so many soul coins in their storage space when they first entered the world.
A more vivid description was that at this stage, the soul coins in the hands of dozens of contractors added together couldn't even make up 200,000. Coupled with the fact that killing enemies in this world earned Sun Gold Coins, not soul coins, this made the soul coin income channels for contractors in this world even fewer.
It was almost inevitable that Su Xiao would be hostile to Dusk City in the later stages of this world. Naturally, he would take as many benefits as he could now.
However, Su Xiao had already instructed Caesar to use some strength. Later, in the transactions with the Soul Academy and the God Religion in this regard, Caesar could go "full combat power" and let these two factions know what the famous fraudster was.
At this stage, Su Xiao still couldn't help Dusk City destroy the Abyss-Born. The "Undying Abyss-Born source energy" devoured by the Magic Spirit in the Underground City hadn't been completely absorbed. Sensing its progress, it would probably be completed in a few hours.
Su Xiao left the Council Hall and hurried to the manor where the Scroll Master was. He wanted to ask what method the other party thought of to destroy the Undead.
Land of God Exile · Edge Area.
The hot, wild wind whistled by. This was an endless Gobi desert. When walking here, one would have the feeling of being melted by the sun above. The candle-like rocks on the ground that had melted represented that if one suffered from the sun for a long time here, the body would really melt like a candle.
Several figures were walking on the Gobi desert. It was the "Big Smart" combination of Tyrant, Immortal Brother, and Star Eater.
The Big Smart team represented the Soul Academy, which meant that the first strong enemy they had to deal with was the Blood-Thirsty Beast. But there was a problem: where was the Blood-Thirsty Beast?
Actually, compared to where the Blood-Thirsty Beast was, the Big Smart team had a more severe problem: Tyrant, Immortal Brother, and Star Eater each held a map of the "Land of God Exile." What made people's heads buzz was that the three had acted separately for a period of time before, so they didn't buy maps in the same place. Therefore, the maps of the "Land of God Exile" in the hands of the three looked completely unrelated, and no one was convinced by anyone.
Because the maps were different, the three had already had a fight. Star Eater had a bruised nose and swollen face, Immortal Brother had toilet paper stuffed in both nostrils, and Tyrant only had a blue eye circle. Clearly, this most heavyweight one won.
"We seem to be lost."
In the Big Smart team, Star Eater, who had an absolute IQ advantage, spoke.
"Absolutely impossible. How could I get lost on the road I chose?"
After Tyrant glared at Star Eater, he looked around, seemingly feeling that he had bought a fake map. He took off his big shoe and threw it up. He decided to use the method that tested luck the most: throwing the shoe to choose the direction.
And at this moment, the three scumbags of the Arbiter, who were hiding in the dark and responsible for secretly assisting the Big Smart team to defeat the strong enemies one by one, were in a different state. Caesar was okay, after all, he had experienced all kinds of troublesome things, while Toad and Rat had already been dominated by the intelligence of the Big Smart team. They all had a bit of a painful mask.
What made Toad and Rat feel even more incredible was that after Tyrant threw his shoe for an afternoon, he really encountered a big boss. That was a towering giant tree a thousand meters high. However, this was not the target of the Big Smart team. They were here to deal with the Blood-Thirsty Beast, and this powerful boss was the target of the Priest team: the Giant Tree King.
Half an hour later, Tyrant, Immortal Brother, and Star Eater all hung peacefully on the branches of the giant tree. If it weren't for the fact that the survival power of the three was strong to the extreme, they would have been wiped out by now. The strength of the Giant Tree King seriously exceeded expectations. This kind of big boss that had to be faced at the beginning actually had combat power in the peak echelon of the Absolute-Tier.
A more explicit statement was that this big boss, whose real strength, stamina, and intelligence attributes were all as high as 800 points, and who had a bunch of Lv. EX level abilities, was much harder to deal with than expected. The reason it had such an outrageous strength was that it had a permanent Abyss-type bonus called "Sun Distortion Nourishment," similar to a buff-like ability. As long as it was in this world and there was a sun in the sky, the Giant Tree King was extremely powerful.
Besides this, its other core ability made it fearless of the siege of the legion flow. This was also why, even if Dusk City had a large number of pseudo-Absolute-Tier combat power, it would not easily provoke this existence, as well as the more powerful Supreme-Tiers. In most cases, the price of letting the Supreme-Tier avoid the edge was actually very large, so large that it began to be difficult to bear.
Wanting to deal with the Giant Tree King at night was not feasible. At night, it would have a permanent Abyss-type bonus called "Blood Moon Endowment." This thing was an Undead at night, the difficulty of killing was pulled to the full, and it was better to deal with it during the day when it could be killed.
The miserable state of Tyrant, Immortal Brother, and Star Eater fell into the eyes of the Priest trio watching from the dark. After the three looked at each other, they decided to change the target. The three big bosses of the "Land of God Exile"—the Giant Tree King, the Blood-Thirsty Beast, and the distorted beast god—actually had no fixed requirement that a designated team had to deal with a designated opening big boss.
After the Priest trio quietly left, they went to the area where the "distorted beast god" was located. An hour later, the three returned to the area where the Giant Tree King was located, deciding to deal with this one, because the difficulty of the "distorted beast god" was more outrageous than this one.
The Giant Tree King at least only had the Undead characteristic at night. Conversely, the "distorted beast god," this thing was an Undead characteristic whether it was night or day, plus that long-to-outrageous skill list.
The "distorted beast god" had a core ability: every time it killed a strong enemy, it would devour it to seize one of the other party's abilities. And the messy skill system would inevitably lead to combat power decreasing instead of increasing, but it had an ability: the more skills it had, the stronger the physical attack of the power characteristics it erupted.
This led to the fact that the "distorted beast god"'s real strength attribute looked like 800 points, but under the enhancement of thousands of skills, it had terrifying power that could destroy the world. An Undead with such terrifying power, it was no wonder the Priest trio didn't want to deal with this big boss.
From the strength of the "Giant Tree King" and the "distorted beast god," one could imagine the strength of the Blood-Thirsty Beast, which was similar in combat power to these two. The reason why the teams sent by the three major factions of this world were hammered so miserably was now very clear.
At the same time, on a wasteland burning with nothingness flames tens of kilometers away, Xiao looked at the "distorted beast god" sitting on a pile of bones, tall, tearing and chewing the flesh and blood of monsters, and was silent for a while. She pondered for a moment, but in the end, she didn't take action against this Undead.
She took out a list with three names on it, which clearly read: distorted beast god, Gao Ta Knight Commander, Lord Soul.
The distorted beast god had already been seen, and the difficulty of the Gao Ta Knight Commander, who was harder to deal with than the distorted beast god, could be imagined.
When she just got this assassination list from Su Xiao, Xiao only felt that the last target was unreliable. Now it seemed that among these assassination targets, none of them were reliable. This assassination commission could be said to be hellish to the extreme.
Xiao looked at the "distorted beast god" tearing and chewing monster flesh and blood again, pondered for a few seconds, turned and left, deciding to go back to find the employer to change the first assassination target. She was an assassin, she could accept the target being strong, but she couldn't accept the target being completely unkillable.
At the same time, in a pleasant mansion in the Inner City District of Dusk City, this was the Scroll Master's residence in the Inner City. On the sofa in the living room, Su Xiao looked at the time, a bit puzzled why Xiao hadn't returned yet.
Could it be that the other party really prepared to try to assassinate the "distorted beast god"? According to the information of Dusk City, that was an Undead. This strongest assassin who hadn't been promoted to Supreme-Tier for long probably wouldn't be so mindless as to want to assassinate an Undead, right?
Ripples appeared in the space nearby, and then Xiao, wearing a gray-white feather garment, appeared. As soon as she appeared, she said directly: "You can't give me a target that cannot be killed."
"Who said that beast god cannot be killed?"
Baha on Su Xiao's shoulder spoke. It turned on its "taunt skill" to the full, making Xiao frown and say:
"That is an Undead. As long as it is still on the Sun Star, it cannot be killed. I have tested it with an Undead that was so decayed that it could only wander and walk, and it was impossible to kill."
"Then how about we make a bet? If we destroy that beast god, you pay us 500,000 Precipitated Glaze. If we fail, my boss will immediately provide the secret medicine you need."
Baha's proposal made Xiao a bit tempted. For others, 500,000 Precipitated Glaze was absolutely impossible to take out, but don't forget, the Hunter Guild had more than half of the commission rewards paid in Precipitated Glaze. As one of the representative figures of the Hunter Guild, Xiao naturally saved a large amount of Precipitated Glaze.
If it was a competition of wealth in terms of Precipitated Glaze, Xiao was definitely in the first echelon of the Void Worlds, so for Xiao, 500,000 Precipitated Glaze was not a particularly huge expenditure.
However, Xiao didn't agree immediately because a feeling of being fleeced was coming toward her. But the problem was, between dealing with the beast god and being fleeced, she could only choose one now. She frowned a bit and asked: "What do you want so much Precipitated Glaze for?"
"To buy more 'Original Sin Cores' and use the 'Original Sin Cores' to upgrade my Book of Original Sin."
Su Xiao didn't hide it, or rather, there was no need to hide things about the Book of Original Sin. No one would attempt to take away a Big Daddy-level Original Sin Object. If there was, please tell Su Xiao immediately where that person was. No need for the other party to work hard to take it, what if there was a mistake on the way? The Dawn Team would deliver it to the door directly. Five Original Sin Objects, choose any of these five Big Daddies, provided that the life is hard enough.
So far, Su Xiao had never encountered—no, he had never heard of anyone with such an intention.
"What is the Book of Original Sin?"
Xiao asked with doubt. Su Xiao didn't speak. After he took out the Book of Original Sin, the next second, the Book of Original Sin appeared in Xiao's hand. Xiao was numb on the spot.
"I see you have a fate with the Original Sin Object, why not choose one that suits you? I have a friend, he and the Original Sin Object are... cough~, he can get along with the Original Sin Object."
Xiao didn't appreciate Su Xiao's rare kind attitude. While holding the Book of Original Sin with one hand and not daring to act rashly, her eyes stared straight at Su Xiao. If eyes could kill, Su Xiao should have been stabbed a few times already.
Facing Xiao's gaze full of killing intent, Su Xiao couldn't help but sigh that people's hearts were not what they used to be. He was so kind to want to give the other party a "supreme treasure," but it was exchanged for a fierce and surprised gaze.
