Chapter 3993: Forbidden Tower

Arriving at the alchemy laboratory, all the potions had finished cooling. "Bright Red Secret Medicine" had this disadvantage; it needed natural cooling after preparation, otherwise it would affect the efficacy of the potion. This time he prepared a total of 30 bottles for emergencies.

Su Xiao chose to return to the real world. When the teleportation light dissipated, he was already on the second floor of the accessory store. Business was still bleak, but this was exactly what he wanted. Looking at the time, it was already evening, and the cicadas outside the window were endless. He took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baja, and Benny downstairs.

The summer night was very cool, really a good weather for barbecue. Just then, the Reincarnation Paradise prompt appeared.

【Detected that you are the strongest Hunter within a 100-kilometer diameter, a real-world mission is about to be released, do you accept it?】

【Real-world mission: Clear Hidden Dangers.】

【Mission content: Eliminate three rule-breakers who have mixed into the real world, and ten Tier 6 contractors who are accomplices.】

【Mission time limit: 1 natural day.】

【Mission reward: Contribution Badge × 1.】

……

A long-lost real-world mission. Su Xiao originally didn't intend to accept it, but after seeing the mission reward was a "Contribution Badge," he changed his mind.

At this moment, in a detached villa in the suburbs.

The carpet in the third-floor room was dirty, with cigarette butts and dried fruit peels, etc. By the stair window, more than a dozen people were standing or sitting here. Some were wearing formal clothes, some were in vests and shorts, and there were ladies dressed revealingly, with a faint smile and sarcasm on their red lips. An old man looked impatient, and spat an old phlegm on the ground, making people feel uncomfortable.

These dozen people were led by a white-haired back-combed glasses man, a spitting old man, and a charming young woman. Everyone used their code names in the mission world. The three leaders were named Han Xiao, Old Fish, and Red Fox.

Han Xiao was around 30 years old, with cold white hair, matched with a pair of gold glasses, and a gold-white suit, making him look calm and revealing a leader temperament.

In contrast, Old Fish, who looked like he had ulterior motives, was obviously untrustworthy, although he was one of the three strongest in the team.

Red Fox, who was sitting on the sofa and trimming her nails, was much more leisurely. In the team, although she was in the top three in strength, she was not very popular. After all, she had killed many teammates before, and her reputation was very bad. However, her strength was there, and Han Xiao and Old Fish both wanted to win her over to suppress the other and seek greater benefits.

Among the dozen people present, they were vaguely divided into two groups. Three people sat in the corner. One looked playful, named Magic Thief. Another looked out the window, named Mage. The last one was tasting a cup of blood wine, and the worms swimming inside made others feel creepy. This person was named Blood Leech, and he was the decision-maker among the three rule-breakers.

"Everyone, have you considered it clearly? Dawn has revived. Given your current situation, becoming rule-breakers is a matter of time. Why not take advantage of the early stage of Dawn's notarization, complete the instructions of that big shot above, and then join us."

Blood Leech looked around at everyone present and found that Han Xiao and Old Fish were moved. He added: "In a place like the real world, there is not even a sprout of extraordinary power. To put it bluntly, the extraordinary power system is not as good as a low-tier derived world. Letting you complete this matter in the real world is actually a test for you by that person, and also a vote of allegiance. There is only this one chance, you consider it."

After Blood Leech finished saying this, he drank the blood wine in one gulp and began to close his eyes and rest. As for the ghost talk that the real world was not as good as a low-tier derived world, Blood Leech himself didn't believe it. Although he didn't know much, he learned from the chat between the person he followed and another super big shot · Priest that although the real world was at the very bottom of the ten thousand worlds, it was also the cornerstone.

Those few above didn't want to take this risk, so they sent the three of them to the real world. But Blood Leech didn't dare either. Fortunately, this time his luck exploded. After investigating in the real world for a period of time, he actually met this group of people. For Blood Leech, this group of people was both a scapegoat and a life-saving straw.

"Everyone, how have you considered?"

Blood Leech opened his eyes. Han Xiao, Old Fish, and Red Fox looked at each other, while their subordinates Bone Man, Gargoyle, Mad Wolf, Black Raven, etc., all held their breath, waiting for their respective captains to make a decision.

At the same time, more than ten kilometers away, in a noodle restaurant, a girl in sportswear with a hoodie walked into the noodle restaurant. She looked around the restaurant and saw a figure in daily clothes, without sensing any special aura.

"Hello."

Wei Er opened her mouth with a smile, trying to make herself look friendly. As a Tier 6 contractor, this mission made her feel quite heavy. After all, opposite were at least ten Tier 6 contractors and three dangerous rule-breakers.

It was true that Reincarnation Paradise produced lunatics, but the problem was that this was the impression of other paradise factions. What they encountered were all top-tier lunatics of the same tier, fierce people qualified to participate in the world contest. But there was no lack of normal contractors in Reincarnation Paradise, such as Wei Er.

Learning that there was a partner, Wei Er felt relieved. The idea was that this time it was a big shot leading a salted fish. But after actually meeting, Wei Er's heart finally died. She was a perception type and didn't sense how powerful the man opposite was. But now that they were on the same boat, the feeling of sharing the same fate made Wei Er not complain, but stabilize her emotions and prepare to turn the tables.

"..."

Su Xiao looked at the girl sitting opposite, and then continued to eat noodles. The noodles here were good. Because he only wanted to relax his body and mind when returning to the real world, he didn't even like to go out, so he hadn't been to this noodle restaurant for a while.

Su Xiao continued to eat noodles. Wei Er, who had just greeted him, was embarrassed opposite. She could only keep smiling until the man opposite finished the noodles.

"Where are the people."

Su Xiao spoke. He was sure that the Reincarnation Paradise gave this partner mainly to provide preliminary clues.

"Huh? What?"

Wei Er was stunned for a moment. She felt that talking about such things in such a lively noodle restaurant was a bit rash.

"..."

Su Xiao looked at Wei Er. A few seconds later, Wei Er muttered: "Among them, one named Bone Man appeared in the nearby waste factory area. It seems he is arranging something in the abandoned factory there, but I don't know exactly where..."

Before Wei Er finished speaking, Su Xiao got up and walked out of the noodle restaurant. But he didn't walk a few steps before he stopped, because he forgot to pay the bill. He was used to eating at Xia's.

After paying the bill and leaving the noodle restaurant, Baja, who was disguised as a parrot in reality, landed on Su Xiao's shoulder. Su Xiao said: "East of the city, waste factory area."

"Done in ten minutes."

What made Wei Er's jaw drop even more was that the one driving in this group was actually a husky. At this moment in the back seat, Wei Er peeked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. From the one hand on the steering wheel and the natural expression, she always felt that this dog seemed to be an old driver.

Driving all the way to the waste factory area, Wei Er, who was a bit worried about alerting the enemy, asked: "Have you found Bone Man's location?"

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, as if he had fallen asleep leaning on the passenger seat.

A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of the main gate of an abandoned factory. Amu got out of the car and forced the door open. The group got out of the car and walked into the factory. Wei Er hesitated whether to expand her perception circle, but the next second, she sensed a faint bloody smell.

"A battle happened here!"

Wei Er said solemnly. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang glanced at her, meaning: "Can you stop being so surprised."

Walking into the abandoned factory, a bloody figure fell beside an array diagram. The array diagram emitted a faint light. Seeing this figure and the parrot with blood-stained claws, Wei Er was very surprised. That lying one seemed to be Bone Man, whose tracks she had discovered and reported to Reincarnation Paradise!

Su Xiao came to the array diagram, pressed one hand on it, and knew why Reincarnation Paradise would release this real-world mission to himself. This array diagram was an incredible thing, but the person executing it was a greenhorn who knew nothing.

"Hehe, you do it, I won't say anything."

Bone Man, who fell to the ground with serious injuries, spoke. This was a thin man with no flesh on his cheeks and sunken eye sockets.

Su Xiao glanced at Bone Man, and a blood thorn condensed beside him. The next second, it pierced through Bone Man's brow.

"Wait..."

Wei Er, who wanted to use Bone Man as a clue, was stunned. At this moment, she finally couldn't help but explode. What kind of teammate is this? Why did he silence the enemy instead?

Before Wei Er could say anything, Su Xiao had already stepped to Bone Man. Spirit Shadow Lines spread, forcing the dead Bone Man to get up, kneeling and hanging his head. Su Xiao's right hand was covered with a crystal layer, then soul-like blue translucent, his hand sank into Bone Man's back heart, and he pulled out a translucent gelatinous figure with his bare hands. This was pulling out Bone Man's soul body that had not yet dissipated.

This scene made Wei Er's hair stand on end. It was not fear in the conventional sense, but a kind of instinctual fear, which made her pupils tremble.

"You, you..."

Bone Man's soul body was even more incredulous. He was pulled out from the darkness of death.

A crystal needle, full of honeycomb holes and as thick as a little finger, was formed in Su Xiao's left hand. The crystal needle pierced slowly and firmly into the neck of Bone Man's soul body. A scream-like wail spread. Just hearing this wail, Wei Er felt she could experience the pain and despair deep into the soul.

"I say, I say, you ask, you ask quickly!"

Bone Man's soul body twisted and struggled.

"..."

Su Xiao still had no expression and didn't say a word, just formed a crystal needle in his left hand again.

A moment later, Su Xiao understood the situation. He crushed Bone Man's soul body, searched for a phone from the other party's body, and dialed a number that Bone Man had just confessed. After a few busy tones, the phone connected.

At the same time, in the third floor of the detached villa.

Han Xiao, Blood Leech, Old Fish, and others who had initially reached an agreement, the atmosphere began to relax. Just then, the contractor code-named Black Raven's phone rang. Old Fish, who was most suspicious, asked: "Who."

Black Raven glanced at the number, didn't answer Old Fish, but looked at his captain Han Xiao. Seeing Han Xiao nod slightly, he said to Old Fish: "It's Bone Man."

After saying that, Black Raven answered the phone: "Speak."

However, no one spoke on the other side of the phone, and there was a sound of something flowing, like water, or other liquids. This sound had a unique charm, as if resonating with something, making Black Raven immersed in it, listening without saying a word.

Gargoyle, who was on the side of the sofa, saw this scene and pushed Black Raven, asking: "What's wrong with you?"

"Ah? Nothing."

Black Raven subconsciously moved away from Gargoyle, as if afraid that the other party would snatch the phone in his hand and take away the wonderful sound he heard.

"Crazy."

Gargoyle stopped paying attention to Black Raven. Black Raven just picked up the phone number and continued to listen, but found that the other side had hung up, which made him feel inexplicably reluctant.

"What did they say over there?"

With Gargoyle's hearing, he didn't hear the sound in the phone, which made him ask.

"Didn't say anything."

Black Raven said listlessly. Seeing this, others thought this was a secret code they had set in advance, and since the cooperation had just been reached, it was not suitable to push step by step at this time, so the discussion continued.

A few minutes later, the listless Black Raven had more spirit in his eyes. He suddenly interrupted the conversation between several captains and the rule-breaker · Blood Leech, and asked excitedly:

"Did you hear it!"

Black Raven's eyes were shining. As he spoke, he also used his index finger to dig his right ear. Everyone looked at him suspiciously, and his captain Han Xiao looked even more displeased.

"You didn't hear it? How is that possible!"

Black Raven was still digging his ear, but the whole index finger was stuffed into the ear hole. This time everyone found the abnormality, vaguely forming a semi-enclosed posture, surrounding Black Raven in the middle.

"Listen, listen carefully! That's the sound of blood smoke flowing, rustle, rustle~, did you hear it?"

Black Raven stuffed his whole right hand into his ear hole, and blood began to splash. Everyone's face was a bit ugly, but they didn't dare to act easily.

"Come, I'll open it for you to listen."

As Black Raven spoke, he used both hands to tear open the already opened ear hole, causing the whole head to be torn open from the side, and blood smoke began to diffuse here.

With a whoosh, a blood smoke figure appeared behind Gargoyle. Looking at Black Raven again, he had turned into a withered corpse, dying on the spot while keeping the posture of tearing his head open.

Witnessing this scene, Han Xiao, Old Fish, Red Fox, and Mad Wolf all felt their scalps tingle and their spines chill. As for Gargoyle, he was about to move.

A short knife made of blood energy had wiped across his throat. In an instant, all the blood in his body was assimilated into blood energy and poured into the short knife, turning it into a long knife. But even though all the blood in his body was drained, Gargoyle didn't die. He lunged forward with all his strength. After landing, a slash mark appeared on his neck.

The blood energy figure holding the long knife looked around at everyone present. This time, not only Han Xiao, Old Fish, Red Fox, and others, but even the three rule-breakers felt their scalps tingle.

'Blood energy... could it be!'

This was Blood Leech's last thought. He looked horrified. Just as he wanted to break the window and escape, he felt his throat go numb. He subconsciously went to cover it, but strength surged out from his throat. As for the ability to turn into a large number of leeches to avoid attacks, in the face of this person, no, facing the other party's blood energy incarnation, it had no effect at all.

One thing, Blood Leech was very sure: if the person opposite was the real body, then he would definitely explode into blood mist at a glance. Chance to escape? Don't joke. Maybe even the scream caused by fear could only be made in the first tone, and couldn't reach the high pitch.

Han Xiao, Old Fish, and Red Fox witnessed Blood Leech being killed in an instant. The three of them fled in different directions with unprecedented tacit understanding, but the next moment, they were like small insects in amber, only able to struggle slowly.

Da, da, da~

The blood energy figure walked over step by step, cutting off their heads with a knife from time to time. Because of the strange slowing around, their heads that were cut off and flew up were still moving their eyeballs in mid-air, which was looking for an escape path.

A few seconds later, the slowing force field around them subsided. All the corpses and bones present exploded into blood energy and were absorbed by the blood energy figure. No half a person or blood stain could be seen in the room. The blood energy phantom flashed and was already in the distant dense forest. Ember sparks appeared on the blood energy phantom. As it walked step by step, it gradually turned into ashes and dissipated with the wind. It was as if these rule-breakers and contractors had never appeared.

Two days later, in the backyard of the accessory store.

Su Xiao sat by the barbecue grill, ate a skewer of barbecue, and looked at Benny. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja on the side had similar expressions, as if they were considering how Benny could grill such a simple delicacy as barbecue so badly. In the end, everyone chose Amu to grill. Amu was excellent at barbecue.

But soon, Amu sat on the bench on the side. The reason was that it grilled well, but the next second it all went into its mouth. It didn't grill enough for itself to eat. Good guy, it ate more than 80 skewers in one bite. Who could eat more than it?

The peaceful and comfortable real-world life passed quickly.

【Hint: Your real-world stay time has reached the limit, you are about to return to Reincarnation Paradise.】

When the teleportation sensation dissipated, Su Xiao had returned to his exclusive room. However, this time, he didn't receive a prompt to enter the mission world. The reason was that he had a total of 15 natural days of "Ascension Mission" time limit, which meant there were still 8 days available for ascension.

The reason for relaxing his body and mind was that Su Xiao was preventing himself from being dragged into the mission world directly after ascension. This was not impossible. The situation in other areas of "Ancient Dragon Kingdom · Ebeias" except for the Forbidden Tower was unknown.

Taking out the 【Solar Holy Emblem】 and 【Ancient Dragon Key】, he chose to enter the world permission.

【Hint: Detected that you hold two items, related to Ancient Dragon Kingdom · Ebeias, do you want to enter this world?】

【Can choose initial teleportation location: High Altitude · Forbidden Tower, Last Shelter City.】

【Chosen High Altitude · Forbidden Tower.】

【Teleportation is about to start, 10, 9...】

Seeing the countdown, Su Xiao's expression was a bit solemn. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Benny began to panic, Baja muttered, and Amu covered the back of his head with two large hands.

Boom!!!

The familiar dull hammer sensation, Su Xiao's eyes went black.

High-altitude cold wind whistled, and a high bridge stood here. Looking down from above, one would find that this stone bridge, several meters wide, was higher than the clouds, but below the clouds, it was thick and surging darkness, as if except for this high-altitude area that still remained cold, the entire Ancient Dragon Kingdom was shrouded in darkness.

This stone bridge was about three meters wide, bare on both sides, without guardrails. Looking down, it was not only the gospel of acrophobia, but also a boundless sea of clouds. An iron chair was located at the end of the stone bridge. At this moment, a sleeping figure was sitting on this iron chair, hanging his head, with the ten-thousand-meter high altitude behind him.

The whistling cold wind woke Su Xiao up. After opening his eyes, he took a deep breath of the cold air of "Ebeias." Besides the cold originating from the First Epoch, there was also that rich... abyss.

Last time he came to "Ebeias," Su Xiao didn't know enough about the abyss. He got up and came to the edge of the stone bridge, looking down. The flowing clouds showed gray, which was set off by the darkness below. This world was not as simple as being eroded by the abyss, but had passed the erosion stage and became a world that had entered the Abyss Epoch.

Su Xiao was certain that he didn't have the strength to break into this place now, but he would soon. Everything was in the Forbidden Tower not far away. Or rather, this was the charm of becoming stronger, being able to break into that place where it was once certain death to enter, and fight with the powerful darkness and distortion inside.

Su Xiao opened the team list and found that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baja, and Benny didn't enter this world, but arrived at the teleportation transit station first, waiting for him to enter the world to trigger the world mission, or return to Reincarnation Paradise, before they would be with him.

Walking along the stone bridge, he saw the words written in "Chiliad Language" left by the Solar God Clan along the way. Although they often targeted the Ancient Dragon, there was no half-point humiliation or cursing. The Solar descendants and the Ancient Dragons were destined enemies of fate. It was the simultaneous appearance of the blazing sun and extreme cold in the First Epoch. The two must not coexist, a fate-like destiny.

Arriving in front of the Forbidden Tower, he pulled the metal rod beside the door. Accompanied by the clicking sound of gears, the iron fence sealing the tower gradually rose. Walking into it, passing through a layer of invisible film, the inside of the tower was not as cold as the outside, but it was not warm either.

The tower was very empty. Located at the innermost side, a woman wearing a cold white long dress with a translucent veil covering her head was sitting on a seat and taking a nap. This woman's height was about three meters. Although her height exceeded ordinary people, her body proportions were symmetrical, giving people a kind of huge beauty. It was the White Dragon Girl.

Seeming to notice someone entering the Forbidden Tower, the White Dragon Girl's eyelashes trembled and she opened her eyes.

"Why have you come here."

The same language as when Su Xiao first came. This made people suspect whether the White Dragon Girl had her memory reset and had forgotten Su Xiao. Actually, no. This great beauty was a bit sleepy. She just woke up and didn't react to who the person was, and from the action of secretly hiding the comic book under her buttocks, it was clear that she wanted to maintain majesty and seriousness in front of outsiders. As she once said, I am a Dragon descendant!

"Speak properly."

Su Xiao opened his mouth, which made the White Dragon Girl frown. She was about to say, you are very rude, but remembering that once, the other party took a stick and wanted to hit her, she turned her head and said:

"Why are you here this time."

"..."

Su Xiao took out the 【Solar Holy Emblem】 and 【Ancient Dragon Key】. The White Dragon Girl opposite was stunned for a moment, and then, the expression that had always been serious could no longer be held, and tears flowed down.

"You are very rude, entering my tower, and not closing the door, the wind is so strong."

The White Dragon Girl's tears fell like broken beads. She had forgotten how many years she had been trapped here. When she was young, she was sent here. The last Solar God Clan told her that this was her place of residence, and then closed the Forbidden Tower, sealing all the legacies of the Ancient Dragon Clan and the Solar Faction here.

The White Dragon Girl quickly stabilized her emotions and asked: "Are you here to take the legacy of my clan and the Solar descendants."

"Yes."

"If it's you... you have the qualification, give me your hand."

"..."

Su Xiao raised his hand. The White Dragon Girl opposite held his right hand with both hands, bent down and lowered her head to press her forehead against the back of his hand. The ornament on her forehead gradually left a mark on the back of Su Xiao's hand. This was a mark belonging to the Ancient Dragon Clan.

"You, you have the qualification."

"..."

Su Xiao came to the elevator in the center, placed the 【Solar Holy Emblem】 in the groove, and then inserted the 【Ancient Dragon Key】 into the newly emerged keyhole.

Rumble~

The elevator under his feet vibrated and gradually descended. Just then, the White Dragon Girl, who was sitting there with her hands folded on her lap, asked:

"Bai Ye, is the outside world very exciting."

"Yes."

"I really hope to see the outside world. However, farewell forever."

As soon as the White Dragon Girl finished speaking, the space around Su Xiao began to distort. This was not a trap, but a spell on this elevator, which was to teleport him to the place where the legacies of the two clans were stored.

The space around him became distorted due to teleportation, but Su Xiao clearly saw that the White Dragon Girl, who was sitting steadily more than ten meters away, was gradually swallowed by the darkness surging from behind her. Cold ice gradually protected the White Dragon Girl inside. However, I don't know how long this secret technique of the Ancient Dragon Clan could protect the White Dragon Girl.

That kind of surging darkness was the abyss darkness that Su Xiao had never sensed before. No, he had sensed it, but it was too different from this abyss darkness. Only the characteristics at the root level were the same. That darkness came from... abyss descendants.

Su Xiao's eyes blurred, and he arrived in a magnificent treasury. Looking at it, it was a boundless storage rack. Even if the Ancient Dragon and Solar clans declined in the end and the legacy secret treasures were less than one-tenth of the glorious period, this was after all the two major astral overlords of the past.

Arriving in front of a rare Origin Stone, Su Xiao checked its attributes. The good news was that he had the ownership of this thing. The bad news was that he didn't enter the world in a normal way, that is, there was no full notarization given by Reincarnation Paradise. These secret treasures belonged to him, but if he wanted to bring these things back to Reincarnation Paradise, he needed to pay for the notarization himself.

Su Xiao estimated that if he paid for the notarization himself, he would lose 90% of the time. Fortunately, he was not here to hunt for treasure this time, but to ascend. He chose to submit all the resources in the treasury to Reincarnation Paradise.

【You have submitted all the resources you possess in the current area.】

The treasury was instantly emptied, but the next prompt made it all worth it.

【You have obtained 106,907 "Supreme Potential Points".】

【You currently possess 120,000 "Supreme Potential Points".】

This was the limit Su Xiao could do, a full 120,000 "Supreme Potential Points." He chose to submit the Supreme Ascension Mission. He wanted to seal his way to Supreme! ===== CHAPTER 3994 =====
