Chapter 3916: Preparation

If life had a chance to choose again, Yuyuna would definitely not take a shortcut through the alley to get home for dinner faster. And, she would never like orange again. If she could turn danger into safety this time, the first thing she would do was replace all her orange water cups, bed sheets, etc.

After 'enjoying' the slight bumps in the trunk, Yuyuna felt the orange cloth bag she was in being carried. There was another moment of bumping down the stairs. The cloth bag was untied, and she was tied to a wooden chair. Pulling off the blindfold on her eyes, some dazzling light shone into her eyes, making her subconsciously turn her head away.

The scene that came into view was a group of people in black combat uniforms, as well as various technological weapon racks around, and maps hanging on the wall. What made Yuyuna's pupils shrink was that the red circle drawn on the map was the "Extraordinary Material Exchange" in the South District. As the City Lord's secretary, Yuyuna certainly knew the weight of this exchange.

Just then, all the people in black in the room stopped their work and bowed respectfully to the person, dog, and minotaur walking over. The magic eagle flew over and landed on the person's shoulder. Yuyuna certainly recognized this person, because it was he who gave the order to have her kidnapped twice in three days.

After Su Xiao sat down opposite Yuyuna, he opened the mission list, found "Side Quest · Dark Invasion," and chose to submit.

【Hint: The faction unit of the mission you submitted refuses to participate in this notarization. In the absence of both parties participating in the notarization, the mission cannot be submitted.】

Seeing this hint, Su Xiao was silent for two seconds, then picked up the sheathed Checking Zhan Long Shan. The long blade was drawn from its sheath and pressed against Yuyuna's fair neck.

【You have successfully submitted Side Quest · Dark Invasion.】

【You have obtained 1,500,000 Moon Silver Coins.】

1.5 million Soul Coins were in hand. Although the Blazing Sun Star had many strong enemies, there were also many revenue channels. Su Xiao estimated that as long as he completed the final link of this main quest, the resources he obtained would be enough to raise himself to the absolute limit of ascending to the Absolute Strong level.

One problem was that the better the foundation laid before ascending to the Absolute Strong level, the more resources would be needed after ascending, and the higher the upper limit after ascending would be.

Making a digitized comparison, if one ascended to the Absolute Strong level with the lowest foundation, the amount of resources needed was 5. With the highest foundation, it would require 3,000 to 3,500 units of resources.

That's right, it was that outrageous. Because of this, some Absolute Strongs reached the end of their combat power when they reached the early stage of the Absolute Strong level, while some powerhouses could reach "Top Absolute Strong," "Super Top Absolute Strong," or even "Peak Absolute Strong."

Su Xiao had an ultimate strong enemy, the Supreme One, so he must break through to the Absolute Strong level at the most extreme level. Otherwise, the decisive battle against the Supreme One would be his death date.

The harvest on the Blazing Sun Star this time was great, but it wasn't enough. Su Xiao picked up the communicator on the side, signaled Amu to untie Yuyuna, and handed the communicator to her. At first, the anxious Yuyuna didn't want to take it, but after finding that the gazes of Baham, Amu, and the dozen or so people in black combat uniforms around were becoming increasingly unkind, she took the communicator.

Su Xiao spoke: "Contact Shierin, tell her that someone is plotting to loot the underground material exchange."

"?"

In Yuyuna's clear eyes, there was genuine confusion. For a moment, she was completely confused about the current situation, but under Amu's 'persuasion,' she dialed the communicator.

"Beauty, look here."

Hearing this, Yuyuna subconsciously looked at the source of the sound. She saw a Devil race member wearing a deep purple slim-fit suit, with a skull for a head, inlaid with black gems the size of rice grains, and deep pupil flames in the skull's eye sockets.

*Snap—*

Wood snapped his fingers, which made Yuyuna's vision go black, and then return to normal. That Devil race member had disappeared. Around her were still a dozen people in black, the Law-Breaker sitting opposite her, and the minotaur holding a battle axe eyeing her covetously.

Yuyuna subconsciously took the communicator handed over by Su Xiao. After dialing, the voice of City Lord Shierin came from the communicator:

"Who?"

"It's... it's me."

"Handle unimportant matters tomorrow. Today's abnormality in Dusk City has given me a headache."

"Actually... it's like this. I received news that someone is going to loot the underground material exchange in the South District."

Hearing this, City Lord Shierin on the other side was silent for a few seconds, then her tone was no longer lazy, and she asked: "Where did you get the news?"

Yuyuna, holding the communicator, looked tentatively at Su Xiao opposite her after hearing this question. Finding that Su Xiao had no indication, she said weakly:

"Law-Breaker Bai Ye told me."

Hearing this, Shierin on the other side was silent for at least half a minute, then asked in a deep voice: "Where is he?"

"He's... opposite me."

Saying this, Yuyuna almost burst into tears on the spot.

"..."

Shierin in the communicator was silent again. After about 5 seconds of silence this time, she said: "So, Yuyuna, you were kidnapped."

"Yes!"

Yuyuna's eyes were filled with tears.

"Tell me the reason. Why did he kidnap you?"

"To... to submit a mission."

"Hmm?"

This 'Hmm?' from Shierin had five parts suspicion, three parts surprise, and two parts disbelief.

"Yuyuna, tell them that as long as you can come back safely, they can make any conditions, but if..."

*Boom! *

An explosion came from the communicator, and signal interference began to appear there. This made Yuyuna freeze for a moment, then her pupils shrank violently as she looked at Su Xiao, and then she saw something similar to a detonator in Su Xiao's hand.

The sound of slashing flesh, blood, and bones coming from the communicator, as well as Shierin's painful groans before death, were violently stimulating Yuyuna's emotions. Bloodshot eyes gradually appeared in her eyes, and her coat was ignited and fell off due to the high temperature of her body. On her exposed arms, shoulders, and other positions, the blood vessels were as obvious as flowing magma. A power from the depths of her bloodline awakened.

"Ah!!"

Yuyuna's sorrowful cry from her soul sent layers of heat waves surging around. Whether it was the people in black, or Baham and Amu, they were all turned into ash by the heat waves, except for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was fine. It seemed that in Yuyuna's heart, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was the only good person—ah no, good dog—in Su Xiao's team.

With a *boom*, the air waves surged, and Yuyuna rushed to the front of Su Xiao. Her right arm became scorching red. As if at this moment, she awakened all the power in her bloodline. Her speed was so fast that even 'Su Xiao' sitting on the wooden chair didn't have time to react.

*Bang—! *

The pain in her fist made Yuyuna's eyes instantly return to clarity, and the scene around her was like a mirror world, cracking and shattering with a *snap*. What she punched wasn't Su Xiao, but the center of the biological ring lock of the treasury door.

"Beep—, biological identification passed. You have permission to enter."

The circular treasury main door ahead opened to both sides. The white lights in the metal corridor were bright. Yuyuna blinked, looked to the right, and saw Su Xiao, who was expressionless and had one hand pressed on the end of his sword hilt, as well as Baham squatting on his shoulder, plus a few people in black holding various instant anesthetic guns. The scene of City Lord Shierin dying and her bloodline power erupting just now were all illusions.

Yuyuna looked to the left and saw the Devil race member she had seen once before but then forgotten, as well as a man in black and white clerical robes, holding an anesthetic gun casually. The man was pulling the trigger nonchalantly, leaning against the wall. The treasury guard captain, who had become a hedgehog, tried to get up every time, only to have another anesthetic needle added to his body, causing him to collapse again.

As for why they used Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's special anesthetic guns, killing into the underground exchange and rushing into the underground exchange were two different concepts. The latter, although causing heavy losses, belonged to giving the final face to Dawn Light City. But if they killed into the underground exchange, City Lord Shierin would have no other choice, otherwise, the major chambers of commerce in Dawn Light City would definitely join forces to try to impeach her.

The treasury opened, and rows of shelves were displayed before their eyes. Yuyuna raised her hand, and the magic spirit black mist clinging to her body surface gradually peeled off, returning to the Checking Zhan Long Shan.

"Look who's coming."

Baham pointed his wings at the entrance of the corridor. Hearing this, Yuyuna looked over. The next second, Su Xiao raised the anesthetic gun in his hand and shot Yuyuna.

"Eh?"

Yuyuna only had time to be surprised before she fell. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang designed these weapons, although called anesthetic guns, they didn't use drugs to anesthetize; they used neurological electrical pulse stimulation. The moment they were hit, first the whole body's muscles would be tense and stiff, and then the biological current pulse would temporarily anesthetize the central nervous system.

Theoretically speaking, after being hit by this kind of weapon, the speed of losing the ability to resist was 0.2 to 0.5 seconds faster than being shot in the head, and the sound of the enemy falling was very small. The principle was that after being stimulated by biological electrical pulses, the central nervous system of the living creature was not completely anesthetized, but gradually self-protected and forced into sleep.

Because of self-protection, the person hit wouldn't fall straight down, making a *thump* sound, or a *thud* sound of the head hitting the ground, but would lean on something they could lean on and lie down softly, which perfectly avoided the sound made when falling.

It could be said that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was a genius dog who designed non-lethal weapons. For example, the main weapon "Sole Massager" of the robot dog Little Bu, this weapon could fire high-tracking bullets. The pulse circuit on the bullet would detect the biological electrical resonance frequency unique to the foot nerves of the tracked creature.

Thereby realizing that after the bullet was fired, it would drill into the ground, fly out from the ground, and hit the enemy's soles. The sound wave shock bomb would explode before entering the enemy's soles, damaging the bone stability of the enemy's lower limbs through over-frequency shock, causing lower limb fractures, joint damage, and other injuries.

Simply put, after a few tracking bullets from the robot dog Little Bu, the enemy couldn't get up. Other people's non-lethal weapons were designed to hit legs and arms, but this happy idiot Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang specifically hit the soles of the feet.

In addition, there were the "Sleep Well" series used this time, as well as the "Flash Explode Titanium Alloy Dog Eyes" series that hadn't been able to debut yet, "Cat Star Person Nemesis," "Hip Striker," "Sound Wave Tracking Hip Must-Hit Brain Control Arrow," "Milk Tea Nemesis," "Slipper Destroyer," etc.

The timer in Su Xiao's hand ticked. According to Wood's calculation, at most 6 minutes and 20 seconds, the city guards of Dawn Light City would rush over.

Don't confuse the city guards with the sheriff. The city guards were responsible for guarding the high wall ramparts of Dawn Light City. The so-called high wall ramparts were the high walls that shrouded Dawn Light City and the surrounding farmland, pastures, etc. Every time night and blood night descended, it was a test for the city guards on the high wall ramparts.

On the hundreds of rows of shelves in the treasury, all kinds of extraordinary materials were placed. Each row of shelves was nearly a hundred meters long, and each shelf had 300 to 700 small barriers. Violently destroying the barriers would definitely destroy the extraordinary materials inside.

For this, Su Xiao's solution was "Caesar/10%." The so-called "Caesar/10%" was that if Caesar could take away all these extraordinary materials in a short time, he would give him 10%.

"*Cough! *"

Caesar, who walked with a rooster step, coughed dryly to let Su Xiao, Wood, and Zuiyas all step aside. It was his turn to perform.

Seeing Caesar come to the core of the barrier, he coughed dryly a few times to brew, and then he.

"*Her—ptui! *"

A mouthful of sticky phlegm was spat on the barrier core. Su Xiao, Zuiyas, and Wood saw that the barrier core trembled obviously, and a snake-like spirit body crawled out from inside. From its retching painful appearance, one could reflect its mood at this moment.

Seeing this spirit-level barrier spirit body, Caesar's eyes shone. He took out the Ouroboros slate—to be precise, the slate with the Ouroboros protrusion already broken. The slate was slapped with a *thud*, collecting the spirit body into it. It was speechless to say that this kind of ritual to subdue spirit bodies should be high-end, cool, and handsome, but when it came to Caesar, it was completely like a mud cake slapping a toad—*splat*, it just stuck there.

Before long, a brand new version of the Ouroboros slate appeared. Compared to the previous generation's wish-making, this generation was a spell characteristic. I don't know how long this generation of Ouroboros slate could withstand Caesar's harm.

The "Law-Breaker Teleportation Array" was formed under Su Xiao's feet. After a *boom* explosion, everyone present disappeared, leaving only rows of shelves pushed over by the spatial impact.

*Thud! Thud! Thud!! *

The city guards violently broke in. After a while, they cleared a path. Because it was night, City Lord Shierin, wearing a black woolen coat and holding a little girl, walked into the treasury.

Seeing the messy scene inside, Shierin's face was a bit ugly. The reason she could still suppress her fire was that in this looting, no one in the underground exchange was injured or killed. In a sense, the other party gave face, but not completely.

The little girl let go of Shierin's hand, grabbed the teleportation array crystal fragments floating in the air, and then she, with an extremely cute face, opened her mouth without any upbringing, opening it to a somewhat terrifying degree, looked up and swallowed this piece of crystal fragment, *gulp*, swallowed it, and tasted it carefully.

"Give an opinion."

City Lord Shierin spoke, but the little girl raised her hand, indicating that Shierin should not disturb her. After a while, she exhaled slowly and said:

"Congratulations, you have welcomed the Law-Breaker."

"Congratulations?"

Shierin's eyes showed displeasure. Obviously, this was not the answer she wanted.

"You should be glad that what you welcomed wasn't the Second Era · Previous Law-Breakers. In general, Law-Breakers can bring salvation like rebirth. But this process, hehe, you won't like it too much, and you will even gnash your teeth. After all, the conduct of these guys is really hard to describe in one word. But one thing is certain: the Law-Breaker faction is indeed here to save you from the darkness. This point has been verified by too many worlds."

After the little girl finished speaking, she looked at Shierin, noticing the other party's extremely ugly expression. A hint of playfulness appeared in her eyes. This was her favorite time to enjoy herself. Seeing Shierin frustrated to the point of depression was the thing that made her happiest.

"But then again, Shierin, how long do you want to drag me? It's really a miracle. You, a guy who isn't even extraordinary, have a strong will comparable to an Absolute Strong. Sure enough, will is a powerful weapon."

Speaking of this, the little girl spread her arms, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, as if carefully feeling something. She continued:

"If I didn't sense it wrong, my two sisters have woken up, and... father is also waking up soon. Darkness... will inevitably invade. Even the Sealer who seals the six great Sin Objects is far from being father's opponent. The darkness of the Abyss will swallow everything, letting the Astral World return to the initial darkness, the cool and tranquil darkness."

Speaking to this point, the little girl opened her eyes, the bottoms and pupils of which had turned pitch-black, and elk-like wooden forked horns grew on her head.

Dusk City · Outer City, District 105.

This was a pasture district under the name of the Lusiva family. Therefore, the family under Lusiva was the richest old noble force in Dusk City. Just thinking about it, a family owning an entire district couldn't be done by money, heredity, etc., but by strength.

Lusiva himself was the peak combat power of the Absolute Strong level, and the hunting group under his command were all symbols of strength. In addition, many old nobles supported Lusiva. If he were the Sun God race, he might be the next Blazing Sun King.

Beside the swimming pool of the Fengshui Manor, Lusiva, wearing a floral shirt and big shorts, lying on a beach chair with his chest open, took a small sip of the iced sweet wine produced by his own vineyard and let out a long breath comfortably. It was interesting to say that in the past, when the old nobles enjoyed themselves, Lusiva was fighting to the death with his men in the Lightless Zone to find opportunities. Now, when the old nobles in the inner city were struggling desperately, Lusiva looked incomparably comfortable.

*Boom! *

A muffled sound came from the backyard. Lusiva was startled. After thinking about what was going on, he just muttered. As a great noble, Lusiva was like this. Although he didn't show it usually, there was a sense of pride in his bones. He liked people, no matter what; if he didn't like people, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to them. It was interesting to say that although Lusiva had known Su Xiao for a short time, in the heart of this hunting group legion commander, Su Xiao was definitely his old friend of the level of an old acquaintance.

Lusiva looked in the direction of the inner city. The sun in the sky no longer had the light of platinum, and the color was too deep, even with a hint of dark red. Combined with the faintly black sky, the feeling that a catastrophe was coming was incomparably strong.

Lusiva drank the wine in the cup in one gulp and let out a long breath. At this moment, he admired the Eyeless Sage of the Great Library incomparably. That old monster started hiring workers to build underground fortresses in various districts of the outer city many years ago. Now these underground fortresses had become the only chance for the civilians of Dusk City to survive. Lusiva even felt that the Eyeless Sage had long known that this scene would come.

Dusk City was gradually being eroded by the distorted sun, but this process would take at least 2–3 days to reach its peak. For Su Xiao, this was the last chance before the decisive battle in this world.

In the backyard of the manor, in a three-story building that had been vacated, on the second floor.

The ground was carved with various spell arrays. After Su Xiao confirmed that these spells were correct, he went down to the first floor. Because of the guest he was going to meet next, Caesar could only temporarily avoid it.

*Knock knock knock—*

The door was knocked. After opening it, a rigorous and formal gnome merchant stood outside the door. That's right, Su Xiao contacted the Gnome Chamber of Commerce.

Man-made "Sun Source Stone" indeed required a large number of extraordinary materials, but not any extraordinary materials would do; it required fire, blazing sun, high tolerance/inertia, and extraordinary materials with strong enough compatibility.

Finding the Gnome Chamber of Commerce, trading the materials he didn't need this time at a ratio of 2.5:1 with the Gnome Chamber of Commerce, thereby obtaining a large number of required materials. This exchange seemed a bit of a loss, but don't forget, these materials hadn't been notarized. Excluding the notarization fee, the exchange ratio was about 1.2:1, which was not a loss at all.

As for why the Gnome Chamber of Commerce was so conscientious this time, he had to thank Caesar. With Caesar's own consent, Su Xiao provided the Gnome Chamber of Commerce with Caesar's recent movements, such as the fact that he had been to the Witch World.

The Gnome Chamber of Commerce, which hated Caesar to the point of separation, might have already sent people to the Witch World. To ensure the information was true, Su Xiao was prepared to sign a contract with the Gnome Chamber of Commerce as a guarantee, but the Gnome Chamber of Commerce politely and firmly refused, saying that they trusted Su Xiao's reputation as a Law-Breaker very much.

Obviously, between "Law-Breaker's Reputation" and "Bai Ye Contract," the Gnome Chamber of Commerce was more willing to believe the former.

Sending away the gnome merchant, Su Xiao went up to the second floor and took out all kinds of materials from the storage space. Caesar appeared rubbing his hands, and the other two 'good teammates' were also ready.

The array for man-made "Sun Source Stone" was activated. Su Xiao, Zuiyas, Wood, and Caesar all used their means. Su Xiao, who was proficient in array studies, was responsible for the stability of this array. Caesar boosted this array, and Zuiyas slowed down the existence time of this array, so that the array that could only exist for 0.15 seconds before collapsing and dissipating could continue to exist.

More clearly, it was Zuiyas who stopped the existence time of this array, extending this array that could only exist for 0.15 seconds to be able to exist for several days.

Wood used the means of a deceiver to continuously boost and amplify the upper limit of the array's effect.

An hour later, accompanied by a humming sound, the first "Sun Source Stone" was formed. But unlike the golden-red "Sun Source Stone" obtained earlier, this "Sun Source Stone" presented a dark red color. The reason was that there was no pure sun power in this world, only distorted sun power after extreme Abyss boosting.

No matter how you looked at it, this "special Sun Source Stone" couldn't be used directly. But don't forget one point: in the final analysis, the purpose of manufacturing "Sun Source Stone" was for the "Sun Lord" title to absorb it, and after the "Sun Lord" absorbed the final "Blazing Sun Blood," it would constitute a more powerful 【God Race Holy Emblem】.

Since there was no pure sun power in this world, only distorted sun power, could he change his thinking? That was to let the 【God Race Holy Emblem】 obtained after absorbing these "special Sun Source Stones" have a usage threshold. In this way, the side effects were perfectly solved.

Many people thought that absorbing Abyss power could quickly obtain power, but the risk was very high. In fact, it was not. As long as one attempted to obtain power through Abyss power, one would inevitably pay a price, but some prices could not be seen on the spot.

Su Xiao didn't want to absorb Abyss energy. If nothing went wrong, he would never do so. But using distorted sun power as the "main material" to constitute "special Sun Source Stone," and then using the "Sun Lord" title to absorb these "special Sun Source Stones" to constitute a stronger 【God Race Holy Emblem】, after such a turnover, it was relatively safe.

But this was still not safe enough. If he set a prerequisite for the 【God Race Holy Emblem】, it would be completely safe. For example, after absorbing a "special Sun Source Stone," the final 【God Race Holy Emblem】 would require the user to have at least 5 points of Abyss resistance to reach the usage prerequisite of this 【God Race Holy Emblem】.

At present, Su Xiao's Abyss resistance was 93 points, which meant he could use the "Sun Lord" title to absorb 18 "special Sun Source Stones" and finally obtain a 【God Race Holy Emblem】 that required 90 points of Abyss resistance to be qualified to use.

Su Xiao flipped through the hint records, and before long, he found the hint content about the 【God Race Holy Emblem】 earlier:

【God Race Holy Emblem (?? -level · One-time buff item): When you use this holy emblem, for the next 10 natural days, your body will be significantly nourished. Real Strength, Real Agility, Real Stamina, Real Intelligence, Real Charisma +85 points. Current HP increased by 15%, current Mana increased by 10%. If you face death, you will not die completely. After 30 minutes of fake death, you will regain vitality due to the "Warm Sunshine" effect, and the missing body parts will gradually regenerate until your HP recovers to 30% (This effect can only be activated once in a lifetime per person).】

There were a total of 32 "Sun Source Stones" in this world. As long as he won the next decisive battle, Su Xiao had a more than 90% probability of obtaining all the "Sun Source Stones" in this world.

If on this basis, he let the "Sun Lord" absorb 18 "special Sun Source Stones," that is, a total of 50 "Sun Source Stones," then to what extent would this 【God Race Holy Emblem】 reach?

Su Xiao looked at a "special Sun Source Stone" clamped between his index and middle fingers. This opportunity made him feel a bit of a chance to become the strongest Absolute Strong.

Just then, the door was knocked, and Lusiva pushed the door in. After seeing the "special Sun Source Stone" between Su Xiao's fingers, he was slightly stunned and asked:

"This is?"

"Man-made Sun Source Stone."

"?"

Lusiva was stunned again. He carefully chewed on the words "man-made Sun Source Stone." He understood the literal meaning, but the actual meaning made him feel very confused.

"This thing, can... can it also be man-made?!"

After Lusiva said this, he looked around at the four people in front. Suddenly, he felt that these four guys making "Sun Source Stone" seemed to make this outrageous thing become a bit more reasonable. ===== CHAPTER 3917 =====
