Chapter 3881: Core

The afternoon sun was a bit milder, or rather, it had returned to its usual dimness. Every time after the Blood Night descended, the sun would be exceptionally scorching, but this heat would only last for a morning, evaporating the dark aura left by the Blood Night on the earth, and then the sun would return to its dim appearance.

At this moment, Dusk City · Outer City, in the vast fields of District 85.

The harvested wheat field was yellow, and the wheat grains left on the ground attracted a large number of birds, mostly gray sparrows.

"This place is good, there is no human habitation within a dozen kilometers around."

Xier said, carrying two travel bags. As she let go, the two travel bags hit the ground with a bang. Judging from the dull sound, the things in the two travel bags were very heavy.

Just half an hour ago, after learning about Su Xiao's plan through email messages, the ruthless guy and Xier both put down the tasks they were doing and rushed over.

The content agreed upon by both sides was that the ruthless guy and Xier would be responsible for fishing for an Absolute Powerhouse · Battle Angel. The subsequent process would be to let the other party activate the mission item 【???】 first, and then go to the side with the ruthless guy and Xier to "discuss" the ownership of the soul coins.

The ruthless guy and Xier have done this many times, which led to them being unable to activate 【Emergency Assistance (Authority)】. However, for the two of them, except for not being able to fish for Battle Angels, there was no other impact.

"Who are these three?"

Xier looked at Mo Lei, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei. She pushed her glasses a bit timidly. Before seeing the blood of the enemy, Xier was a shy, quiet glasses girl who looked like she had social anxiety, and she also wore a white single ponytail. But after seeing the blood of the enemy, red light began to emerge from the center of her pupils.

"Mo Lei."

Mo Lei smiled with both vitality and a bit of silly joy.

"Moon Apostle."

Moon Apostle smiled politely. She had always been repelled by contact with outsiders, which was true social anxiety.

"Ton ton ton~"

Hao Mei didn't introduce herself, or rather, from a certain perspective, she had already introduced herself in her own way.

"You... hello, my name is... Xier."

Xier was a bit nervous. She came to Xiang Bubu Wang's side, squatted down beside Xiang Bubu, and touched Xiang Bubu's dog head. Xiang Bubu Wang began to get nervous. He had seen Xier's other mental state with his own eyes. Xiang Bubu looked at Su Xiao and Baja, asking for help with his eyes: 'Save me!'

Su Xiao and Baja pretended not to see it. Mo Lei noticed Xier's shy and quiet appearance, and her social butterfly syndrome gradually flared up. After chatting for a while, Mo Lei's impression of the Reincarnation Paradise · Hunter changed greatly. Who said that Hunters are either lunatics or killers? Aren't there some very nice people, such as Xier, whose voice is very soft when she speaks?

As for why Mo Lei hadn't heard of Xier's rumors, this is normal. The survival rate of those who fought Xier is less than one percent.

"Xier, what kind of ability system are you? I don't have any ulterior motives, I just want to say that if there is a chance in the future, we can cooperate. I am a Battle Angel, and you are a Hunter. Both are dealing with rule-breakers."

Mo Lei was of course not completely deceived by Xier's shy appearance and gentle tone. She kept an eye on Xier and asked about her ability system. If the other party was an assassination type, poison type, shadow type, etc., then the appearance shown at this time must be faked.

"Healing type."

Xier raised her hand, and scarlet energy appeared in her hand. The gentleness of this energy, as well as the vibrant aura, meant that Xier must be a healing type.

Seeing this scene, Mo Lei was stunned for a moment. She was already prepared to be deceived, but she never expected that there would be a healing type among the Hunters. This is no longer "out of the mud without being stained," this is a pure white flower in a sea of blood.

Then a thought made Mo Lei doubt in her heart: how did Xier, as a healing type · Hunter, survive until now?

"Xier, when is the ruthless guy coming? Speaking of which, you have always been partners, why are you the one who entered Radiant Star first this time, and he came in later?"

Baja spoke. Hearing this, the doubt in Mo Lei's heart was solved. Of course, it is unreasonable for a healing type · Hunter to survive until the Absolute Powerhouse level, but having a fierce partner explains it.

However, Mo Lei suddenly worried about Xier. This shy, weak girl being partners with the fierce ruthless guy must be trembling with fear. What a pitiful and heartbreaking good child.

If the ruthless guy knew Mo Lei's thoughts, his eyes at that time would definitely be: Do you want to listen to what you are saying? At the beginning, I was sleeping soundly in the tent, and was suddenly awakened by a sharp pain in my chest. I was stabbed by Xier dozens, or even hundreds of times. Now that I am an Absolute Powerhouse, I still have lingering fears when I think of that scene.

Just like that, the cross-server chat between Mo Lei and Xier began. Xier talked about the interesting things after being partners with the ruthless guy, which was Xier starting to narrate the history of her harming the ruthless guy, and to Mo Lei's ears, it basically automatically turned into the ruthless guy coercing Xier. It's no wonder it would be like this; the ruthless guy is notorious after all.

Facing the two people chatting across servers, Baja rubbed his face with his wings when he heard it. Compared to the few, Xiang Bubu Wang, who was being petted on the head by Xier, was more urgent at this time. That look clearly said: 'Save me quickly, hurry!!'

It can only be said that Mo Lei, the little angel, was indeed misled this time, but this is not strange. Mo Lei is just like this. She will often save the people around her in her unique silly way inadvertently, and she doesn't even know it afterwards.

By 3:00 PM, the ruthless guy arrived late. Behind him followed a fat man who was bruised and swollen, with a wronged expression, and "happy" written all over his face. This person was fat but not obese, and his whole body fat had the elasticity of rubber. It was clear that he was a special type · tank type. This kind of Some Qiyuezhe can fight and resist, and can also self-heal.

Simply describing his ability system is that the more he is beaten, the stronger he becomes. This kind of ability user will accumulate the injuries suffered. When accumulated to the extreme, he will blast it out with one attack. The situation of killing the enemy with one punch is most common in this kind of ability user.

Unfortunately, this Guardian from Watcher Paradise met the ruthless guy. This person's name is Armor Pig. He chose the code name casually when he was at the first tier. He didn't expect to use it until he was an Absolute Powerhouse. When he was preparing to change his code name at the eighth tier, he found it was too late. The name had already been spread, and changing the title would bring not small losses.

Armor Pig had a face full of "willingness" to come here. It seems that the ruthless guy not only beat him up, but also gave him a severe beating. Armor Pig looked around at the people present, ignoring the three Battle Angels first. In his opinion, these must be victims who were also caught.

Why did the three of Mo Lei come here? Do they want to be accomplices of Su Xiao and the ruthless guy? Of course not. The three came to observe how to fish for Battle Angels, so as not to encounter such traps in the future.

Armor Pig's eyes fell on Xier, which made his eyes widen involuntarily. Of course, he had heard of the ruthless guy beside him. Although the other party is terrible, at least he is reasonable. And this guy a few meters away who looks like a weak glasses girl, but is actually a poison-milk type female lunatic, is the kind of terrible Hunter who doesn't listen to any reason once she is full of smiles.

Armor Pig suddenly felt a little scared in his heart. He is just a Guardian who has just been promoted to Absolute Powerhouse for not long. How can he be targeted by the "Ruthless-Poisonous Partner"? As for the title of "Ruthless-Poisonous Partner," it is because of the ruthless guy's title + Xier's poison-milk type ability, which synthesized the Ruthless-Poisonous Partner.

Armor Pig, whose perception was sealed, moved his line of sight, and then saw Su Xiao sitting on the crystal chair. Suddenly, Armor Pig's heart was calm. He looked at the sky. It was still clear, and the breeze was blowing. It was a good day to go on the road. At that moment, it seemed that the scene of a revolving lantern flashed before Armor Pig's eyes.

"What should I call this brother?"

Baja flew up enthusiastically to say hello.

"Armor Pig."

Armor Pig, whose pupils had dimmed a bit, spoke in a flat tone. After all, he was ready to welcome death.

"Brother, don't worry, we actually have no malice."

"?"

Armor Pig looked at Baja in confusion. The four words "no malice," when connected with Su Xiao, the ruthless guy, and Xier standing there, really made him feel lost.

Ignoring Armor Pig who was lost, Su Xiao looked at the ruthless guy beside him and asked: "Why catch him?"

There is a specialty in the art industry. Su Xiao has no experience in fishing for Battle Angels.

"Use his authority to activate 'Emergency Assistance',"

"I have authority in this regard..."

"With your negative Void Tree reputation, after activating 'Emergency Assistance', matching a Battle Angel, I'm afraid it will take several days to match one. When people see that it is an 'Emergency Assistance' initiated by a Hunter, they probably won't dare to accept it."

Hearing the ruthless guy's words, Su Xiao opened the authority list and tried to activate the "Emergency Assistance" authority.

【You have activated Emergency Assistance. Because you have a free activation quota, this free activation will not require Space-Time Power.】

【Please select the reinforcement faction you need.】

【You have selected the reinforcement faction: Apocalypse Paradise (will randomly match a Battle Angel of the same tier).】

【Hint: Because your Void Tree reputation is extremely low, the matching time will be increased.】

【Matching...】

【Estimated matching time for this time: 659 years, 11 months, 28 days, 17 hours, 50 minutes.】

"How is it? Have you tried? How many days will it take to match?"

The ruthless guy asked.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, just materialized the hint of matching time.

"It's even thoughtful enough to specify how many minutes. The Void Tree's hints are rigorous."

The ruthless guy's focus is quite peculiar. Armor Pig nearby saw this scene, and his cognition of authority, judgment, Void Tree reputation, etc., was almost shattered and reshaped.

"Let's start."

The ruthless guy sent a team application to Su Xiao. Su Xiao temporarily exited the Dawn Team and joined a strange team called "Fisherman." This team has a team skill called "Authority Sharing."

Su Xiao didn't ask how the ruthless guy built this team. The other party quickly transferred the captaincy, and then Su Xiao added Armor Pig to the team. In this way, Armor Pig could temporarily activate Su Xiao's "Emergency Assistance" through the team skill "Authority Sharing." This achieved the situation where the final applicant was a Guardian, and the Battle Angel matched would see the hint that a Guardian requested reinforcements.

As for why not let the Guardian · Armor Pig directly activate his "Emergency Assistance," it's not that he didn't want to, but Armor Pig had no "Emergency Assistance" quota left, and he couldn't activate this authority by consuming Space-Time Power.

In Watcher Paradise, using "Emergency Assistance" to recruit powerful teammates is a very common method. Some Guardians even sell the inventory times of this authority at a high price.

"Emergency Assistance" is an authority with inventory quantity. Su Xiao's "Emergency Assistance" is 999 times (already accumulated to full inventory). This is because he has never used this thing, and Hunters in Reincarnation Paradise rarely activate this authority.

This authority is notarized by the Void Tree as the core. After the Void Tree regularly distributes this quota to the six major Paradises, Reincarnation Paradise has more than it can use. The chain reaction triggered is that the Hunters' inventory of "Emergency Assistance" times is more. Interestingly, except for Reincarnation Paradise and Death Paradise, the "Emergency Assistance" authority times of the other four Paradises have always been in a state of insufficient supply.

Su Xiao misunderstood one thing before, that is, the "Emergency Assistance" inventory of 999 times is not the public inventory of all Hunters, but his personal inventory!

When Armor Pig successfully activated Su Xiao's "Emergency Assistance" authority through the team skill "Authority Sharing," seeing the 999 inventory, his expression couldn't help but show doubt about life, and he was also a little at a loss. He swore that his experience of mixing to the early stage of Absolute Powerhouse did not have the thrill he had seen in this hour.

Armor Pig almost wanted to blurt out: Are you three really Hunters? But due to his own life safety, he held back this question, but this experience had already made him feel unforgettable for a lifetime.

If Baja knew Armor Pig's thoughts, he would definitely say earnestly to the other party: 'Friend, you haven't met Caesar. When you have the "luck" to meet him, you will know what extreme operation is.'

As Armor Pig activated "Emergency Assistance," Su Xiao, who was also in the team and was the captain, received a hint.

【Hint: Your temporary teammate has activated the "Emergency Assistance" authority.】

【You have selected the reinforcement faction: Apocalypse Paradise (will randomly match a Battle Angel of the same tier).】

【Matching...】

【Estimated matching time for this time: 5 minutes, 36 seconds.】

Looking at the countdown accurate to the second, Su Xiao looked at his -???... No, this time he went to the Soul Academy to stock up, and for some reason, he was judged by the Void Tree as the mastermind behind the scenes. His Void Tree reputation returned to -???.

Su Xiao looked at his Void Tree reputation, wondering if there was any chance to save it, but then thought about the magnitude of the "stocking up" gains, and he decisively gave up saving his Void Tree reputation.

After the countdown returned to zero, golden light appeared in the sky, and a golden beam of light fell, finally exploding and scattering. Golden light particles drifted everywhere. The golden long hair that was almost hanging to the ground fluttered. The visitor raised both arms, as if it were a ritual for the audience after a dancer appeared.

"Guardian, I accept your request for help. I, as a Battle Angel..."

The visitor's posture was elegant, and her tone was gentle but revealed a bit of alienation. However, after she saw the bruised and swollen appearance of the Guardian opposite, she suddenly found that things were not simple.

Battle Angel · Zelina looked at the three people behind the Guardian: one carrying a 1.6-meter-long, four-finger-wide blood-blade long sword; one wearing glasses, looking timid and shy; and one with his right hand on the end of the sword hilt at his waist, expressionless, with a blood-red aura, the aura was so terrifying, simply a monster.

Zelina originally wanted to have an elegant and gorgeous appearance to establish herself as the captain in this cooperation, but the scene before her made her eyes gradually become solemn.

The good news is that she recognizes all three people opposite, having heard or seen photos through various channels. The bad news is that recognizing this nightmare combination caused her mentality to collapse. She immediately judged that she had encountered someone fishing for Battle Angels. She had heard of this before as a joke after a meal, but she didn't expect that she would become the protagonist of this matter today.

The first victim appeared brilliantly. Su Xiao threw the mission item 【???】 to the other party and said concisely: "Activate."

"No, my Void Tree reputation is not enough. It needs 50,000, and I only have 40,000 plus."

Zheng~

The long sword was unsheathed, and Checking Zhan Long Shan was pressed against the neck of Battle Angel · Zelina. Through Checking Zhan Long Shan's efficient lie detection, this Battle Angel's Void Tree reputation was indeed not enough.

Battle Angel · Zelina successfully passed Su Xiao's test. The ruthless guy greeted her with a smile. This is the smile that a master of four techniques cannot suppress after seeing soul coins.

"Let's make a deal. You pay soul coins, and we let you leave."

Hearing this, Battle Angel · Zelina's heart sank. Considering that the other party would blackmail her for all her family wealth, she was ready to fight to the death.

"For the two of us, you pay 35,000 soul coins each."

"??"

Battle Angel · Zelina was very stunned. This was too different from the blackmailing of all her family wealth she had imagined. She didn't react for a while.

The ruthless guy's amount was very experienced. If he were ruthless enough to demand the other party's equipment or all items in the storage space, any Absolute Powerhouse would fight for their life.

If the price was too low, it would only make people feel that this must be a scam, and the other party would take action immediately after getting the soul coins. But setting the price at 70,000 soul coins made the other party both willing to try and feel a bit heartbroken to pay this soul coin, but feel that the other party shouldn't take action after receiving the soul coins.

"Go that way. That is the most prosperous district in the outer city. The probability of receiving random missions there is relatively high."

The ruthless guy pointed to the south side. Battle Angel · Zelina, who had taken out the soul coins, didn't know what to say for a while.

"Go quickly. Oh, by the way, this is a hand-drawn map of Dusk City. Take it. I almost forgot this."

"This~"

Battle Angel · Zelina held the map of Dusk City. It wasn't until she walked a long way that she turned her head and found another golden beam of light falling.

At the summoning point, golden light splashed. A muscular man over three meters tall with muscle lines like marble sculptures appeared. The visitor appeared in a back-flexing posture, and then he turned his head, his mouth curled up and he smiled, but unfortunately, the next second, his smile froze.

After the muscular man examined the ruthless guy, Xier, and Su Xiao, he took out a booklet, opened the first page, and found the photos of the three on the first page. The cover of this booklet was written "Hunter, Death Ranger Danger Ranking."

"A few, can I apply for a one-on-one?"

The muscular man spoke very seriously. Hearing this, no one spoke. Baja said: "Of course, you can choose one of these three to fight one-on-one."

The muscular man looked at Su Xiao, then at the ruthless guy, and finally at Xier, who was weak and had a bit of dodging eyes, and said firmly: "Just her!"

Two minutes later, the muscular man, who was over 5 meters tall and weighed over 6 tons, lay on the ground. While blood was overflowing from his mouth, his lips were trembling, and his muscles seemed to have their own ideas, squirming under his skin. His eyes were a bit dull.

Compared to the muscular man's pain, Mo Lei, who was hiding nearby and was stunned, was greatly shocked in her heart at this time. She looked at Xier, and Xier, who had recovered her mental state, smiled gently at Mo Lei after finding Mo Lei's gaze. It can be seen that Xier does not dislike becoming friends with this silly girl.

After Su Xiao's rescue, the muscular man recovered. Su Xiao took out an inhibitory potion and injected it intravenously. The muscular man's body size gradually returned to normal.

Su Xiao threw out the mission item 【???】. After the muscular man took it, he successfully activated it, threw it back to Su Xiao, and traded back the 120 ounces of Space-Time Power he had just obtained.

After completing these, he entered the negotiation stage with the ruthless guy. The ruthless guy didn't mention soul coins. He squatted down, looked at the muscular man sitting on the ground, and said: "Don't you want to take back the power taken away by Hao Tao?"

Hearing this, the muscular man's muscles were knotted. He pressed one hand on the circular mark on his left chest. This mark was dark golden, not only branded on the skin and flesh, but also deeply branded on the soul.

This is the mark left by the Reincarnation Paradise · rule-breaker · Hao Tao after losing to him, and it is also a symbol of having part of his power taken away. As long as this mark is still on the muscular man, the free allocation of real attribute points he obtains will be taken away by one-fifth under the judgment of the ability, and this is a "talent ability" notarized by the Void Tree, which is not in the category of rule-breaking abilities, so it will naturally take effect accurately.

How many Battle Angels, Death Rangers, Guardians, Executioners, etc., have been branded with this mark, only the rule-breaker · Hao Tao knows. In addition, this guy's "rule-breaking ability" is to improve his own "all potential limit tiers" through the enhancement of absorbing attribute points, so this is a complete monster. He has reached the 800-point limit for all five main attributes of strength, agility, stamina, intelligence, and charisma that can be enhanced by attribute points! At the moment, this monster is in this world, performing a promotion to Supreme Powerhouse mission with the characteristics of Dawn Paradise.

How the rule-breaker · Hao Tao triggered this mission is unknown. Thinking about it, Xier brought the last Some Qiyuezhe of Dawn Paradise · Bee to Radiant Star because of the mission of Reincarnation Paradise, which might be because of this.

After the rule-breaker · Hao Tao entered this world, he was not high-profile. Is the rule-breaker · Hao Tao always low-key? How is that possible? Hao Tao, who likes to blast enemies with his fists, is not a low-key person. It is mainly because the faction that entered this world this time is really too pitfall. The three good teammates are enough to be feared, plus the three super old yin-b's of the priest, platinum apostle, and abyss archbishop, it is adding fuel to the fire. Finally, there is the black demon who just crawled out of the shallow abyss, and the ruling trio who entered this world later.

The rule-breaker · Hao Tao is here to be promoted to Supreme Powerhouse. Seeing such a lineup, he will naturally be low-key for once.

"You are very strong, but you are no match for the rule-breaker · Hao Tao."

The muscular man lowered his head. This was a psychological shadow left by the rule-breaker · Hao Tao.

"Do you really think Hao Tao's ability only takes away part of the attribute points you obtained? This is just a process. When this mark of yours forms a ring, you will be taken away everything."

Hearing the ruthless guy's words, the muscular man looked hesitant, but then the video taken out by the ruthless guy made his eyes very gloomy. A moment later, several people left together.

The ruthless guy didn't invite Su Xiao to deal with the rule-breaker · Hao Tao, and Su Xiao naturally wouldn't mention it actively. Sometimes active help is not friendly enthusiasm. In the Paradise faction, everyone has their own training and goals, and occasional cooperation is enough. Of course, before the ruthless guy left, he asked Su Xiao if the mission this time could be shared. After learning that there was no sharing option, he left with a feeling of regret.

Su Xiao dragged the dark golden cube with one hand. As he activated it, the subsequent mission hint appeared.

【You have activated the chain mission · Dark Moon Ritual (final link).】

【Mission content: Place this "Moon Meteor Core" on the activation device in the deepest part of the west side of the Lightless Zone, thereby activating the "Dark Moon Ritual."】

【Mission reward: Abyss Treasure Chest (★★★★★).】

【Hint: This is the highest-tier Abyss Treasure Chest.】
