Chapter 944: The Fifth Game and Open Conspiracy

~10 min read 1,833 words

After going through all kinds of hardships, Su Xiao finally gathered the Hunter Set. This made him guess that the reason the Hunter Set was so famous in Reincarnation Paradise wasn't because of its attributes as a Dark Purple set, but because of its attributes after being promoted to a Gold set.

A Gold set—let alone seeing one, Su Xiao hadn't even heard of one. The Hunter Set was the only set he had managed to complete. As for the other set component he possessed, the King's Armguard, he didn't even dare to hope for that set. It was a Light Gold set consisting of four pieces; once gathered, one could use some of the abilities of the "Golden Flash." Its origin was unique to the Star Moon World, and the collection difficulty was extremely high.

Thinking of the acquisition process of the Hunter Set, Su Xiao was speechless for a moment.

The Hunter's Ring was snatched; the Hunter's Necklace was obtained in the War World, not through opening treasure chests. As for the Hunter's Gun, it also wasn't obtained through opening treasure chests; it was part of a collection Alice gathered after other Qiyuezhe died. Because the patterns on the Hunter's Gun were similar to other Hunter components, he noticed it; otherwise, he likely would have missed it.

If luck was bad and the Hunter Set couldn't be opened from treasure chests, Su Xiao would go snatch it or obtain it through other means.

Shen Huang and other Tier 4 Qiyuezhe failed to obtain the Hunter Set, but now it had been gathered by Su Xiao.

Su Xiao became secretly vigilant. How miserably Gulu from the Phantom Troupe was chased back then was still fresh in his memory. She only held the Hunter's Ring. One could imagine how many people would chase Su Xiao if news spread that he had obtained all three pieces of the Hunter Set.

Perhaps even Tier 5 Qiyuezhe could not resist the temptation of the Hunter Set.

Suddenly, Su Xiao thought of one thing: the time Sitan sent people to chase him. Perhaps there was a possibility that Sitan had already learned he obtained the Hunter's Ring from Gulu, which was why he sent people to chase him.

Given the value the Hunter Set currently displayed, it made perfect sense for Sitan to pay a high price to send people to chase him. Thinking back to the faction that chased Su Xiao at the time, it seemed very reasonable.

Huang Fen was the main combat force; that fat main tank was a safety measure. As for the Charisma-specialized Die, saying she was responsible for reconnaissance also made sense, but there was another possibility: Die used her ability to completely control Su Xiao, thereby obtaining the Hunter's Ring from him.

At that time, the three people's behavior was too abnormal. After the three entered the Holy Grail World, they didn't participate in the original plot, nor did they look for Su Xiao; instead, they were frantically chasing other Qiyuezhe, looking as if they were clearing out that world.

Thinking about it now, perhaps this was to "protect" Su Xiao, so that Su Xiao wouldn't die in a confrontation with other Qiyuezhe. If that happened, the Hunter's Ring would be lost.

Back then, Die and the fat main tank came to find Su Xiao. The two wanted to shake off Huang Fen and capture Su Xiao. Whoever obtained the Hunter's Ring would surely receive a different reward from Sitan.

If the three were simply trying to kill Su Xiao, Die and the fat main tank wouldn't have acted prematurely. If they were killing him, all three would participate, and the credit would be split equally. Killing Su Xiao was just a smokescreen, or perhaps a threat from another organization; these were all smokescreens Sitan deliberately left behind to confuse Su Xiao's vision. The Hunter's Ring was their true target.

If they really wanted to kill him, they wouldn't have sent Die, a Charisma-specialized person. If they had sent a Tier 3 sniper, Su Xiao would surely have died. Die's appearance clearly represented an intent to capture him alive.

Thinking of these things, Su Xiao narrowed his eyes. If Sitan really knew he possessed the Hunter's Ring, then either he or the Blood Gate Adventure Group must die.

A Dark Purple set—no, a Gold set was too tempting. Sitan would never give up easily, and the Blood Gate Adventure Group under him would also become Su Xiao's enemy.

To be precise, Su Xiao and the Blood Gate were already in a life-and-death struggle. Ever since the chase in the Holy Grail World, the two sides had been in this relationship.

While deep in thought, Su Xiao followed the Wolf Butler into that lifting wooden house. Soon, the two returned to the vicinity of the Forest of the Strong on the fourth floor.

A breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and a few withered leaves on the ground were lifted by the forest wind.

The withered leaves drifted near Su Xiao, and he subconsciously tilted his head to dodge. This was an instinctive reaction of Intuition.

"The fifth game is about to begin. Before that, you can name your price for the information regarding that intelligence."

Su Xiao was just thinking about how to wipe out the Blood Gate when the Wolf Butler's proposed transaction intent made Su Xiao vigilant.

This seemed like a normal transaction, but in reality, it might contain a meaning: the Wolf Butler was certain Su Xiao wouldn't survive the fifth game, and even if he could survive the fifth game, he wouldn't live long.

Thinking of this information, Su Xiao was somewhat puzzled. Could the fifth game be difficult to this extent? Or was the content of the fifth game a trap, the final means for Alice to kill him?

"If you want to get that intelligence, tell me the content of the fifth game first."

Su Xiao's vigilance was so high that the Wolf Butler sighed inwardly. He was truly the successor of "those lunatics."

"Fine."

The Wolf Butler's mouth curled up. The Wolf Butler, wearing a wolf head, would never smile gently.

"There are two types of fifth games. The first one is not conducted on the fifth floor of the castle because the fifth floor of the ancient castle is open to everyone. The first game mode is the King's Chess Game. You don't need to understand the specific rules of this game because you are participating in the second game.

The second game is conducted on the fifth floor of the Demon Castle. The fifth floor of the Demon Castle has another name: the Void Arena. Yellow sand and blood—as long as they buy a ticket, various races in the Void can come here to watch or participate. Each arena session limits the strength of the participants. The strength cap for this session is close to the strength of the Queen's clone, with no lower limit. It's a mixed bag, with all kinds of races gathered. This is the most eye-catching point of the Void Arena. I forgot to tell you, this session of the Void Arena has three million spectators, including bored powerhouses, traveling Mage Sages, or ordinary Gak people responsible for reporting. They have very, very extensive knowledge..."

The Wolf Butler's undisguised hostility reappeared.

Learning the content of the fifth game, Su Xiao felt a chill in his heart. The fifth game was actually open to the entire Void.

This was actually a good opportunity to see the Void, but unfortunately, Su Xiao didn't want this opportunity at all right now.

He inherited the Shadow of the Law Destroyer. Although he didn't know much about the Shadow of the Law Destroyer organization, he knew one thing: the enemies of the Shadow of the Law Destroyer were numerous to the point of being outrageous.

The Shadow of the Law Destroyer was neither good nor evil; they maintained the elemental balance of the Void. This was originally an orderly faction, but the Shadow of the Law Destroyer's style of conduct was very extreme: kill anyone who dared to destroy the elemental balance! Kill all mages! Kill anyone who came into contact with the 6th to 29th Magic Nets! Kill all creatures that might break the elemental balance.

This extreme style of conduct made the Shadow of the Law Destroyer faction "Orderly Chaotic," which was an existence even more feared than "Orderly Evil."

Demons, Dragon races, Dark Mages, etc., were Orderly Evil, but the Shadow of the Law Destroyer was even more awesome: they were Orderly Chaotic!

The Void Arena in the fifth game gathered more than three million spectators. Just among them... how many enemies of the Shadow of the Law Destroyer would there be?

"There should... be quite a few."

Su Xiao muttered. He could fully imagine a scene where he just activated Green Steel Shadow, and the powerhouses in the audience jumped down from the stands to besiege him.

"Alice really went to great pains."

Su Xiao's expression wasn't very good. Seeing Su Xiao's expression, the Wolf Butler would definitely feel secretly pleased.

"The intelligence for the fifth game has been told to you. Now, about the intelligence in that regard."

The Wolf Butler wanted to obtain intelligence regarding "alienation."

"Oh, I lied to you just now. I never intended to provide you with intelligence regarding alienation. You've worked hard explaining for so long, Wolf Butler."

Su Xiao patted the Wolf Butler on the shoulder and walked toward the sky ladder. Above that was the Void Arena.

"Do you... not have even a shred of a powerhouse's integrity?"

The Wolf Butler was so angry that his wolf whiskers trembled.

"A powerhouse's integrity? What kind of integrity should I talk about with an enemy? Wolf Butler, how old are you? Three? I will talk about honesty and integrity with friends, but you are an enemy who has wanted to kill me from beginning to end. How many times have you and Alice plotted against me? Forgot so soon? And now you talk to me about integrity?"

Su Xiao stepped onto the sky ladder. Behind him, the Wolf Butler clenched his fists, as if ready to kill Su Xiao on the spot at any time. However, he couldn't do that. When they were descending in the wooden house earlier, he indeed had such an opportunity, but he was fooled by the "alienation" Su Xiao mentioned.

"You lunatic of the Law Destroyer."

The Wolf Butler roared.

"Thanks for the compliment."

Su Xiao didn't stop his footsteps. He wanted to see how many enemies the Shadow of the Law Destroyer had in the Void. Moreover, compared to a hypocrite, he would rather be a villain. For an enemy, a villain has no rules to speak of.

That mosquito said

The backend of the last chapter got stuck. Speechless, it took so long to refresh. This is force majeure. Please forgive me. ===== CHAPTER 945 =====
