Chapter 962

Bang!

One shot. The bullet flew past Yulu's ear as he flew at high speed. The target of this shot was a headshot, but Yulu's flight speed was too fast.

While dodging this shot, several alchemical ravens caught up with Yulu. White feathers shot out rapidly, and those few alchemical ravens were pierced by the feathers and fell to the ground.

Bang!

The second shot. Su Xiao's shooting feel was getting better and better.

Swish~

The bullet flew past Yulu's torso, almost brushing against it. The powerful shock wave caused his flight trajectory to shift, and a large number of alchemical ravens pounced.

"Yulu, surrender!!"

Some female spectators couldn't bear to watch anymore. The male god in their hearts was being ruthlessly sniped.

Bang!

The third shot. The bullet left the chamber.

With a splat, a cloud of blood mist exploded in the sky. A piece of Yulu's wing was shattered, and he slid diagonally from the air like a bird with a broken wing.

Bang, bang, bang.

After a precise three-shot burst, three clouds of blood mist exploded at different heights.

With a thud, half a bloody corpse landed on the ground.

Su Xiao pulled the bolt, gunpowder drifted, and a bullet flew out of the chamber. He caught the flying bullet and turned to walk toward the contestant viewing area.

"What? 1 minute and 20 seconds after the start, the seeded contestant Yulu was killed in battle?!"

Hake shouted exaggeratedly. In the audience, all the male spectators who had female companions felt a secret thrill after seeing Yulu die miserably.

After Su Xiao returned to the contestant viewing area, he walked toward the lounge without stopping for a moment.

Inside the lounge, Lilim, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately activated the teleportation array. She also knew Su Xiao was pressed for time.

At the same time the teleportation array was activated, in the audience, a female mage wearing a hood curled her lips.

"Actually creating an opportunity for me."

The female mage disappeared into thin air.

Inside the Maze Fire Forest.

"Ugh~"

Lilim looked lifeless, leaning against a tree trunk and retching.

"If you can't master Alchemical Creature Manufacturing as soon as possible, I'll fight you to the death."

Lilim gasped for air. She now wished she could stuff Su Xiao into the teleportation array and overload it.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, just signaled Lilim to hurry up.

"I'm fine now..."

Suddenly, Lilim's expression changed, and she looked to the right.

A magic array appeared out of thin air. This array was extremely huge, and rich space energy surged.

Soon, the array stopped running, and a slender arm reached out. Mage Sage Sefilia walked out; she had arrived here by tracking the spatial fluctuations.

"Flame Fire."

Mage Sage Sefilia didn't say a word, fire-red light flickering in her hand, seemingly knowing that this place was not suitable for a long stay.

At this moment, all the hairs on Su Xiao's body stood on end. He didn't need to be told to know that this was an enemy of the Shadow of Law-Breaker, likely one of those old immortals who had lived for a thousand years.

"Sefilia, trespassing on someone else's territory is a very impolite behavior."

An old voice came, and tree people stared at Mage Sage Sefilia.

"Tree Sage."

The light in Sefilia's hand dissipated, and she looked at Su Xiao. Being within the Tree Sage's alchemical defense restriction, even she dared not act recklessly. This was just like how others dared not go to her magic tower to cause trouble. In the Maze Fire Forest, the Tree Sage's strength was at least dozens of times his usual level.

If they were fighting elsewhere, Sefilia and the Tree Sage's strength would be similar. If it were a life-and-death battle, Sefilia's chances of winning would be higher; after all, she was a combat-type mage, while the Tree Sage was an alchemist.

However, in the Tree Sage's territory, it would be good if she could escape with her life.

"Perhaps this is fate. In fate, you will not die here today. Law-Breaker, I am Sefilia, a fire mage whose home was destroyed by the Shadow of Law-Breaker and who has nowhere to return to. There is no grudge between us personally, but the moment you became a Law-Breaker, you became my must-kill target. Kill me, or be killed by me."

Mage Sage Sefilia's face was as cold as frost, but in those eyes, there was nothing else besides loneliness and sorrow.

The array flashed with light, and Sefilia walked into it. She indeed had a deadly feud with the Shadow of Law-Breaker, but she would not bury herself here just to kill Su Xiao, because there was another Law-Breaker in the Void who was not dead. That person was too powerful, and her strength was not enough to kill him.

Mad woman—that was how Sefilia was referred to in the Void. She had once ambushed the Blade Demon twice; once she nearly lost her life, and once she was skinned and thrown into the Black Abyss.

After Sefilia left, Su Xiao's expression didn't look very good. He had nearly died just now, which gave him a new understanding of the danger level of the Void.

He must leave the Void as soon as possible. Before his strength reached a certain level, he would not come here again unless necessary. It was too easy to get caught in the crossfire; it was more reliable to improve his strength in a Derived World.

"Let's go."

Su Xiao walked toward the tree house room.

"You nearly died here just now, yet you're so calm."

Lilim let out a long sigh of relief. She was no match for Sefilia.

"The result is that I didn't die. This is an opportunity."

"Strange thinking."

The two walked into the tree house. Entering the tree house, the Tree Sage was nowhere to be found, likely negotiating with Sefilia. There had been no grudge between the two sides before this.

Su Xiao didn't want to waste a single second now. He plunged into the alchemy laboratory and manufactured a large number of alchemical ravens.

He changed his mind temporarily. This was his last time coming here. He would not improve Alchemical Creature Manufacturing for the time being; manufacturing new alchemical creatures would slow down his manufacturing speed. What he needed to do now was to manufacture alchemical ravens without stopping for a moment to accumulate proficiency in alchemical creature manufacturing. At this time, the proficiency had reached 901/10, which could raise Alchemical Creature Manufacturing to a very high level.

Half an hour later, the Tree Sage returned to the tree house, seemingly having finished negotiations with Sefilia. The results of the negotiations were unknown.

Su Xiao manufactured alchemical ravens without sleep or rest. After a full nine hours, his Alchemical Creature Manufacturing proficiency reached 1876/10.

According to the experience of "Alchemical Bomb Manufacturing" and "Alchemical Potion Manufacturing," this proficiency was enough to raise Alchemical Creature Manufacturing to Lv. 20.

Previously, he had wanted to break through the limit of Lv. 20 through the Tree Sage's guidance, but after Sefilia appeared and stirred up trouble, this was almost impossible. Now he had to leave here as soon as possible. The Tree Sage's attitude was unknown; heaven knows whose side he was on, or rather, he was simply a neutral party who offended neither side.

The Tree Sage's unclear attitude made the tree house unsuitable for a long stay. Although raising Alchemy to the maximum level here and manufacturing a high-tier alchemical creature was the most ideal result, unfortunately, the ideal was plump, but reality hid murderous intent.

Alchemy could be raised to the maximum level later. As for manufacturing stronger alchemical creatures, they could also be manufactured within the Reincarnation Paradise; at most, it would cost some Paradise Coins. There was no need to continue gambling with his life here.

Although he didn't achieve the most ideal result, fortunately, the harvest this time was not small. Greed was fine, but there had to be a limit.

What Su Xiao needed to do now was to stay honestly in the Void Arena until the match was completed and he returned to the Reincarnation Paradise. As long as he returned to the Reincarnation Paradise, Sefilia could only stare in frustration.

A slightly fatigued Su Xiao walked out of the alchemy laboratory.

"I'm done on my end."

"Really?"

Lilim was overjoyed. She didn't want to teleport long distances again.

"Yeah."

Su Xiao carried a large number of alchemical ravens in his storage space. He didn't know if these alchemical ravens could be brought into the Reincarnation Paradise. These items were unnotarized items with a huge quantity. If they could be brought into the Reincarnation Paradise, he would be rich; he could completely take them to the trading market to sell.

This time, Su Xiao and Lilim left the tree house. The Tree Sage actually "escorted" them personally, or rather, he was sending off a plague god.

Su Xiao stood on the teleportation array and looked at the Tree Sage.

"Tree Sage, thank you for your gift. Perhaps there will be another chance to meet in the future."

Su Xiao's words sounded very friendly, but no matter how the Tree Sage listened, he felt something was wrong. For some reason, a scene appeared in the Tree Sage's mind: Su Xiao holding a knife, smiling and "asking for advice" on alchemy.

"If you can grow up, then we won't meet again. Definitely not."

The Tree Sage waved his hand, and Su Xiao and Lilim were teleported away.

Su Xiao returned to the Void Arena lounge. The results of the second round of matches had already come out, and 22 contestants remained.

"Ugh~"

Lilim pushed open the door. This demon girl retched until tears came out. She now had only one thought, which was to go home and settle the score with her brother.

After dealing with the alchemy matter, Su Xiao felt much more relaxed. The Void Arena should end soon. The fewer the contestants, the more intensive the battle frequency. The subsequent matches would depend on endurance. With 22 people, the champion could be decided in at most one day.

Thinking that he would soon be able to return to the Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao smiled. If he successfully completed the fifth round of the Demon Castle game, he would be able to obtain the Proof of the Strong, thereby breaking through the 80-point attribute barrier. He had been looking forward to the reward for 80 attribute points for a long, long time. That would be his opportunity to soar into the sky. His strength would be greatly improved. Developing four attributes simultaneously was a way of accumulating and waiting for the right moment. Soon, it would be time for the harvest.
