The ice and snow in the queen's dormitory gradually melted away. Except for the traces of damage caused by the battle, the place became almost the same as when Su Xiao first arrived.
Just after the battle ended, Gulu, who was in the corner, took action, and the short knife slipped out of her cuff. She took the handle of the knife and stabbed Psalm's neck with the knife.
Pfft~
The short knife without a gauntlet pierced Psalm's head with a sound, and the blood-stained tip of the knife pierced out of her Tianling Cap.
With a pop, Psalm fell to his knees unable to do anything, and could only look up at Gulu.
"Your skin is so good."
Gulu grabbed Psalm's chin and slowly pulled out the short knife in his other hand.
Psalm stared at Gulu, the shock and unwillingness on his face gradually turned into a smile.
"You'll...regret it."
He likes to bury people in hymns and is killed with a smile on his face. This face that used to look like the big sister next door now gives people an indescribable sense of horror.
Seeing this scene, Caesar, who was originally smiling sinisterly, his smile subdued a bit, and he asked in a low voice: "My dear friend, do you have any grudge against this woman?"
"have."
"Never kill her with your own hands. The safest way is to let things that are more difficult than her kill her."
Caesar's expression was rare and serious. After hearing this, Su Xiao learned a key piece of information: Psalm was not dead.
Su Xiao came into contact with Psalms in the previous world. She didn't know much about the other party. Most of the rumors were that Psalms held funerals for enemies.
I don’t know if this is Psalm’s hobby or something else. After Psalm kills the enemy, as long as there is enough time, he will definitely let the 12 knights of the "Psalm Knights" mine and cut down trees on site to make a coffin. After that, the 12 knights will carry the coffin and bury it.
.
That's not all. Hymns need to be prayed to the deceased. If you have enough time, you can even hold a simple memorial service for them.
From the known information, Psalm seems to be the strongest healing system in the eighth level? In the previous world, she was the representative of Holy Light Paradise, that is, a leader-level figure.
Sheng Shi and Xian Ji are old rivals. With Xian Ji's acting style? She didn't take the initiative to cause trouble for Sheng Shi? There is a faint tendency to hide.
When they were fighting for the supply box before, in front of so many people, Xianji was slapped by Psalm. With Xianji's temper, not only did he not take the initiative to retaliate, but he seemed to have a tendency to turn this story over.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao was wary. In a fully open world like the Shusheng World, sometimes he could just sit back and relax without being stronger than the enemy. For combatants like Psalm who only reveal their true strength after being killed?
Be on high alert.
Did Gulu kill Psalm now? Su Xiao looked at Gulu and asked: "Did you get the killing merit?"
"I got it, but..."
Gulu did not continue. The kill prompt she received was a bit strange, but she did not feel anything unusual about herself.
After the battle is over, it's natural for the benefits to be distributed.
Judging from the current situation, neither Wood nor Sias are ready to take action? The reason is that they need to continue to cooperate in this world.
In this battle, Su Xiao certainly has the biggest win. He fought head-on with the Queen throughout the whole process, so he took 50% of all profits and was awarded a crown.
Sias inherited his wife's contribution? Because Ona invaded the queen's body throughout the battle, the risk she borne was much smaller than that of Su Xiao. However, in view of her role in the battle, she accounted for the majority of the profits.
20%, the dark blade of the two swords of light and darkness belongs to her.
Wood was also at 20%. Although this guy was weakening the queen throughout the whole process, he did not face the queen directly. After some consideration, the light blade belonged to him.
Sias and Wood are not from the Paradise camp. Although they have temporary notarization of the Void Tree, they can only get rewards for killing ordinary and elite units. For example, after killing the 'One Punch Super Mushroom', you can get souls.
coin.
They do not have a "Paradise Brand" and cannot receive rewards for killing boss-level units, but they are also participants in the war. As compensation, the Void Tree gave them a "share of notarial rights".
For example, Wood's "notary share" is 100 points. If he wants to take the light blade out of this world and bring it back to the void, he must first use 20 notary share points to notarize the light blade.
After Su Xiao, Wood, and Sias finished dividing the spoils, Gulu coughed slightly, which meant that she still had 10%.
Sias looked at Gulu suspiciously. After Baha briefly explained the situation to him, he suddenly understood.
"Since you are participating in the battle, you should get the spoils. Take it. This is your spoils."
Sias picked up the queen's pillow on the huge bed. It was half a meter in diameter and taller than Gulu's height.
"?"
Gulu, who was a little confused, subconsciously took it. Then, she nodded and accepted the reward. The stuffing in the queen's pillow was valuable.
The queen doesn't have many treasures in her possession. Apart from the crown and the two swords, there is only a metal box.
The workmanship of this metal box is fine. Judging from the color, it seems to have been there for some time. It was found from the hidden compartment of the huge bed. Its material can block the perception and cannot detect what is inside.
Gulu squatted in front of the metal box, trying to open it, but three feet from three directions stepped on the metal box.
This thing can't be opened. If there is a good thing that cannot be divided equally, Su Xiao + Wood + Baha will work together to deal with Sias. Sias is in the best condition now.
"How about the highest bidder gets it?"
"Measure it by what?"
"Soul coins are enough. These hard coins are in circulation in Samsara Paradise, Void, and Destruction Star."
"Um."
After preliminary discussions, the metal box cannot be opened. Whoever produces more soul coins will get this thing. After that, the soul coins will be distributed according to the formula of Su Xiao 50%, Wood 20%, Sin Yasi 20%, and Gulu 10%.
Su Xiao can't afford this thing. He has only entered this world not long ago. In addition, he paid Solomon 3,000 soul coins before, so now he is very poor.
The more critical point is that Su Xiao doesn't think there is anything good in it. From the perspective of Wood, Sias, and Gulu, the Queen is an encounter-type powerful enemy, and they know very little about the Queen.
Su Xiao knew more about the queen. There could not be resources in this metal box to enhance strength. If there was such a thing, the queen would have used it herself.
The queen does not love power. How did she become the Queen of the North? The answer is to eat it.
The queen is not very resistant to delicious food. As we all know, the meat of extraordinary beasts is very good. Just add salt and it will be so fragrant when grilled. After one bite, you can't stop eating it.
All the extraordinary beasts in the north are almost crying at the Queen's expense. They estimate that if they don't think of a solution, they will be eaten to extinction by this ghost girl.
A group of extraordinary orc elders approached the queen and knelt down before her, affirming her and expressing their heartfelt surrender.
The queen was hesitant at the time, but finally agreed. After hearing the news, those extraordinary human-like creatures were frightened. In the past, the ghost girl didn't eat them because they were human-like, but as time went by, God knew they couldn't eat them.
After eating the flesh of extraordinary beasts, will they overcome their psychological barriers and swing the knife at them?
In this way, a large number of extraordinary races came to seek refuge with the queen. In that scene, each one pretended to be more pitiful than the other.
The queen was a little angry, but she could not do it if she was asked to wield a knife against her surrender. Later, after she was betrayed by the ghost clan, all these extraordinary races stood up to express their support for the queen and destroyed the ghost clan.
.
Because there is no order from the queen, these extraordinary races dare not act rashly. No matter how you say it, the ghost race is the direct descendant of the queen.
The queen became accustomed to it. Later, she came to the bottom of the big tree cave and ordered the palace to be built here. At that time, because of her power, she had begun to be eroded by the power of the abyss. She simply went to the center of the abyss.
A place that is dense and constantly spreading outwards, uses itself as a shackle to prevent the power of the abyss underground from overflowing.
It can be seen that the queen does not value power or money, and only such people can become double masters.
With the queen's temperament, what good things would be in this metal box? Even if there were any in the past, they would have been rewarded by her to her subordinates with merit. She had been eroded too deeply by the power of the abyss. Those rare treasures, she would have long ago
No longer useful.
The reason why the Soul-Severing Shadow Stone is kept is because no one can awaken the power of the Soul-Severing Shadow Stone except the Spell Killer. It is for this reason that the queen set the Soul-Severing Shadow Stone on her ring.
Based on this inference, it is not difficult to guess that the things in this metal box are the kind of things that are valuable only to the queen, but are of little use to others.
"I'll pay you 7,000 soul coins."
Su Xiao was the first to raise the price. Although he didn't buy it, it didn't stop him from raising the price.
"8000."
Sinas was unexpectedly rich.
"8500."
Wood immediately followed the price.
"9000."
When Gulu announced the price, she breathed a little and felt a little sleepy.
As soon as the price of 9,000 soul coins came out, the scene suddenly became quiet. Seeing this, Gulu was no longer sleepy on the spot. She just made a price casually. In her opinion, with the queen's strength, the metal box containing the secret treasure, at least
It is also worth more than 20,000 soul coins.
"Since no one else bids, I announce that bidder No. 4 has won this auction. Everyone applauds and congratulates."
After Caesar finished speaking, he was the first to clapped his hands and applauded, along with Bubo Wang and Baha.
Gulu didn't react for a while. She scratched her head. She still felt something was wrong. She asked, "Wood, why didn't you increase the price?"
"Not enough soul coins."
"What about you, Brother Tentacle?"
"Respect the old and love the young."
"?"
Sinyasi's statement made Gulu feel a little confused.
Obviously, both Wood and Sias noticed the clues and did not fight for the metal box. As for Gulu, although she is very smart, there are too many old men in the dormitory at the moment.
"Cut~"
Gulu paid the soul coin, and Su Xiao received the prompt.
[You get 4500 soul coins (notarized income). 】
After dividing the spoils, Su Xiao took the opportunity to check the kill prompt that just appeared.
[Reminder: You have killed the eldest daughter of the abyss, Yuro.]
[You gain gold skill points x 2.]
[You get an abyss treasure chest (after opening it, there is a low probability of getting abyss products). 】
[You obtain the Dark Resident (a special title, this title will disappear after you leave this world). 】
…
【Dark Resident】
Origin: Shusheng World
Quality:☆(0 stars)
Category:Title
Title effect: Right of residence (passive). After wearing this title, you will have the right to stay and reside in the "Dark Realm".
Introduction: If you obtain this qualification by killing a king, you will be feared and guarded against by some residents of darkness, but being feared by others is sometimes safer.
Selling price: Unable to sell, this title disappears after leaving this world.
…
The queen's kill reward actually included 2 gold skill points, which Su Xiao did not expect.
The abyss treasure chest obtained is a good thing. Even if there is only a small probability of obtaining abyss products, it is still tempting.
What are the known products of the abyss? One is the jar of the abyss, which gives people a bad impression, but another product of the abyss makes people salivate, and that is the black maple tree.
The first tree species of the black maple tree was obtained by someone who got lucky by opening a temporary passage to the abyss. From then on, there were black maple trees in the void.
It is said that only the mother tree planted through tree seeds can cultivate new black maple trees with its branches or branches. The black maple trees of Black Abyss, Yuanlongdi, and Arcane Eternal Star are all based on
This is earned.
Why not cultivate a large number of black maple trees? This is not only because the growth conditions of black maple trees are harsh, but also because there are rumors that there is a limit to the number of black maple trees. Beyond this limit, no matter how good the environment is, newly planted black maple trees will
The seedlings will die.
Su Xiao didn't know whether this rumor was true or not, but Su Xiao knew that black maple trees had strict requirements on the planting environment. When his black maple tree was still in the seedling stage, it looked like it would die for him at every turn.
.
Therefore, even if the [Abyss Treasure Chest] only has a small chance of yielding a product of the abyss, it would still be exciting. If it yields a treasure with a value similar to that of a black maple tree species, it would be prosperous.
The last title of [Dark Resident] is useless for now. Su Xiao doesn’t know where the “Dark Realm” is.
The powerful enemy has been killed and the dormitory has been explored. This is the end of the big tree cave. Logically speaking, returning to the original route is the best choice, but no one has set out.
Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the huge bed and took out the [Hunting Ring], which had already been inlaid with four pieces of the Soul-Destroying Shadow Stone, Incomplete. He took out the piece he had just obtained, and with a click, the Soul-Destroying Shadow Stone, Incomplete was absorbed.
You have to wait until you return to Samsara Paradise to synthesize the Soul-Severing Shadow Stone. You cannot master the Soul-Severing Shadow ability at the moment.
Just now, Caesar inadvertently made a gesture, meaning not to leave the bedroom yet. This guy had obviously discovered something.
"How long do you three plan to stay here?"
Sias opened his mouth and urged Su Xiao, Wood, and Caesar to leave as soon as possible. This was more like a test.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak, and sat cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed, controlling several micron-level spiritual shadow threads to suture the wounds in her body.
As for his left arm, he has formed a crystal arm. This is not an ordinary crystal arm. Not only is the exile integrated into this crystal arm to improve the overall controllability, the fluorescent blue lines inside the crystal arm that resemble nerves are made of his spiritual shadow lines.
He can make the crystal arm move because he controls the exile, but this is not precise enough, so he uses the spiritual shadow line converted from the energy of the green steel shadow to mimic the neural structure and connect it to the nerves at the broken arm.
In this way, Su Xiao's crystal arm not only has power, but also has more perfect control of details. He did not develop this ability voluntarily, because his left arm was often cut off by powerful enemies, and he had no choice but to develop this ability.
"I'll wait for you for an hour at most."
Sias sat under the wall, holding the twisted cross around his neck with one hand, communicating with his wife.
"Let's go first."
Gulu turned around and left. She didn't have the patience to wait for an hour, and she had no reason to wait.
After Gulu left, the dormitory became quiet. The silence lasted for more than half an hour. Ona inside the twisted cross spoke.
"Husband, don't delay here."
"Shh."
Sias made a silent gesture, and Ona muttered in a low voice, but did not contradict Sias.
"There's no point in spending this much."
Wood spoke, and upon hearing this, Caesar's expression was tangled, perhaps because he felt that he couldn't hide it. He came to the huge bed and took out a bunch of strange tools, such as forsythia buckles. After a while, the metal side panels of the bed gradually appeared.
A face of pain.
The face made a sound of retching, as if the end of being fucked was coming, and it turned into a lock plate.
There is a pointer on the edge of the lock plate, surrounded by 30 different patterns. There are a total of 12 lock slots in the middle of the lock plate. This lock plate cannot be opened by luck or observation.
"How to open the lock?"
Sinyasi looked at Su Xiao, meaning to ask Su Xiao to kick him away.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't say anything, and he didn't kick open the door to the queen's bedroom. It was conservatively estimated that the strength of this metal bed was much higher than that door.
"Wood?"
Sias looked at Wood, who shook his head. There were too many causes and effects on the lock plate, and he couldn't do anything about it.
"cough!"
Caesar coughed dryly, raised his chin slightly, and the Ouroboros Slate appeared in his hand. He threw the Ouroboros Slate with one hand, but when he caught it, he didn't catch it properly, and the Ouroboros Slate hit his feet with a bang.
There was a sound, hitting the big toe in the middle.
Gu Kai grimaced in pain and pretended to slip on his shoes to check.
"Hold on, hero!"
Baha quickly said, if these were slippers, there would be no room in the dormitory.
Caesar angrily picked up the Ouroboros Tablet from the ground and asked: "Password."
'No comment!'
Ouroboros Slate is still so stubborn, and I don’t know who gave it the courage.
"Her~bah!"
After Caesar took a big mouthful of sticky phlegm, the Ouroboros slate began to tremble, and words such as 'Save me, law destroyer' and 'I will definitely help you' appeared on it one after another. Su Xiao turned a blind eye.
Finally, a series of code codes appeared on the Ouroboros slate. Caesar turned the lock plate in sequence. When the pointer aligned with the last seal, a click came from the bed.
Rumble~
The bed slowly slid back inward. When the bed stopped, a long groove on the ground was exposed. This groove was 1.5 meters wide, with steps going down inside.
The steps were shrouded in black mist, which did not spread outside the trench and remained level with the ground.
Sias raised his hand and reached into the black mist.
Hiss!
After a period of terrifying corrosion, Sias's hand was pulled out from the black mist, leaving only white bones in his right hand.
A black tentacle sprouted from Sias' back. The tip of the tentacle turned into a sharp blade. With a swipe, his right hand was cut off. Blood and flesh surged from the wound. In the blink of an eye, his right hand returned to its original state.
Sias shook his head and indicated that there was no way to enter it. After Wood tested it, he came to the same conclusion.
Su Xiao looked at the black mist in the trench. He speculated that the "Dark Realm" should be below. He equipped the title "Dark Resident" and touched the black mist with his left hand.
No problem occurred. After Su Xiao wore the title of [Dark Resident], the "Dark Realm" had recognized him as a dark resident and naturally would not corrode him.
Su Xiao asked Baha to test it out, and sure enough, Baha, as Su Xiao's follower, inherited the effect of this special title. Naturally, there was no need to say more about Bubo Wang.
"Looks like we didn't get the 'tickets'."
Wood didn't feel sorry. He instinctively felt that the black mist was not a good place.
"Sias, on the way here, I found a very interesting place in the Black Forest."
"Not interested."
Sias answered casually, as if he was thinking about something.
"You can get a lot of soul coins."
"Lead the way."
Sias became enthusiastic immediately.
"As expected of you."
Wood and Sias walked out of the dormitory. Before leaving, Wood said something and then met near the Beginning Tree of "Adagu Capital".
"My dear friend, you go first, and Caesar will come soon."
Caesar took out a bunch of bottles and cans to find a way to enter the black mist.
Su Xiao walked down the stairs. The surrounding black fog was slightly cool and he couldn't see his fingers. After he walked down the last staircase based on his feeling, the surrounding darkness gradually became translucent. It didn't disperse, but no longer blocked him.
Sight and perception.
Although the light was still dim, Su Xiao could see clearly that she was in a slender underground passage more than 1 meter wide. The rock walls on both sides were very flat and the top was arched.
After Su Xiao, Bu Buwang and Baha walked forward for a few hundred meters, the scenery suddenly opened up on both sides.
[Tip: You have arrived at the "Dark Realm".]
[You have disguised yourself as a resident of darkness (this is the title effect). 】
[Warning: In this area, most of the units are from the "Chaotic Neutral" camp, a small number are from the "Chaotic Evil" camp, and a very small number are from the "Chaotic Extremely Evil" camp.]
[The hunter’s charm attribute was checked to be -12 points.]
[When you negotiate with a "chaotic neutral" unit, the negotiation correction +10 points.]
[When you negotiate with "Chaotic Evil" units, the negotiation correction +32 points.]
[When you negotiate with the "Chaotic Evil" unit, the negotiation correction +59 points. 】
…
Su Xiao looked around. This was a small town-sized building complex. Surrounding the building complex was a dark rocky texture with jagged fractures.
Preliminary judgment shows that the only exit here is the passage from which we came.
The buildings in the town have a sense of dilapidation. There are many rock houses, and they say this is a small town. In fact, there are only two rows of intact buildings left, located on both sides of the street. Looking outward, those rock buildings are all eroded by darkness.
It was as disfigured as a burning candle.
The entire street is about three meters wide, and the buildings on both sides give it a sense of compactness and isolation. To a certain extent, this architectural pattern also gives people a sense of security.
Su Xiao walked on the street, and the rocks under her feet seemed to have been eaten by insects, and were covered with honeycomb holes.
There are no too bright colors in the dark realm, everything is based on black, and there is a musty smell in the air.
There are more than 30 stone houses on both sides of the entire street, but only 4 stone houses have weak candlelight in their windows.
Su Xiao came to a window. The window was made up of gray glass-like material and half-decayed metal. On the wall under the window sill, there was a layer of black substance adhering to it, giving it a thick and greasy feeling.
Boom, boom, boom.
Lidya Su knocked on the window.
"Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho..."
A "carefree" laughter came from the window. After more than ten seconds, the laughter stopped abruptly.
Su Xiao knocked on the window again, and there was an unexplained humming sound, which was very similar to a pig's humming sound.
"Town residents: Brother Pig, can't communicate."
After confirming this information, Su Xiao came to a stone house diagonally opposite to Brother Zhu's house. The stone house was also lit by candlelight.
Boom, boom, boom.
Su Xiao knocked on the door this time.
"Dong dong dong."
The person inside the door imitated the knocking.
"I am the new resident of darkness."
Lidya Su spoke.
"I am the new resident of darkness."
The person inside the door spoke in the same voice and tone as Su Xiao.
"Follow me again and I'll go in and chat with you."
Su Xiao pressed one hand on the wooden door in front of her. After hearing what he said, the people inside the door stopped imitating him, but also began to remain silent.
The imitating man is also unable to negotiate normally. Su Xiao needs to find a dark resident who can negotiate to understand the general situation here.
Continuing to walk along the street, Su Xiao stopped in front of a stone house with candlelight inside and knocked on the door.
A female voice came from inside the door: "Are you the light messenger?"
"no."
"Unfamiliar voice," the woman inside the door came closer and asked, "Where are you from?"
"Bedroom."
Su Xiao currently knows too little information. In this case, lies will have the opposite effect.
"How could she agree to open the passage? She wouldn't agree to it unless...she was dead."
At the end of the sentence, the voice of the woman inside the door had a slight tremor.
"Well, she's dead."
After receiving Su Xiao's confirmation, the woman inside the door fell silent, and after a while, low sobbing came from the door.
"She always said that someone had to stand up, but in the end, she died, hoo, hoo~"
The woman inside the door burst into tears, and her voice was sobbing as she spoke.
Su Xiao had heard before that the queen's adoptive father, the traitor Golu, mentioned that the queen had a sister. Now it seems that this is the case.
Compared to the queen, her sister gives people a completely different feeling. If the queen is strong and approachable, her sister is gentle and fragile. Just hearing the news of the queen's death made her cry.
"She is, how, dead."
The queen's sister was very sad.
"I killed him."
"Woo~"
The queen's sister was even more sad. Seeing this, Su Xiao decided to comfort her appropriately, after all, she still wanted to ask for information.
"She was beheaded by me with one knife, and she died very simply."
"Woo~!"
The crying was louder and the family members were very emotionally unstable.
"..."
Su Xiao looked at Baha and Bubuwang and motioned for them to speak.
"Woof?"
BuBoWang said it couldn't speak.
"Ahem, queen, sister, don't be sad. Before the queen died, she had transformed into the eldest daughter of the abyss."
After hearing this, the queen and her sister cried less and said with choked sobs: "I am Arya, the most useless heir to the ghost clan in hundreds of years."
Hearing this, Baha was speechless for a while. He didn't understand why Arya specifically mentioned that she was the most useless heir when introducing herself, as if this was some glorious thing.
After Arya's mood stabilized, she said softly: "Don't be exposed to the darkness all the time. You will be assimilated by the abyss. Keep going forward and find the light bearer to get the candlestick..."
According to Arya, after arriving in the "Dark Realm", you should go to the shrine at the end of the street as soon as possible, find the light messenger to get the candlesticks and candles, and then you can live in any stone house with an unlocked door.
A candle is safe if it does not go out.
Su Xiao walked along the street lined with stone houses on both sides. At the end, a large stone house with a half-melted outer wall blocked the street. This was what Arya called the temple.
The two wooden doors of the shrine were open, and the smell of candles that had been burning for a long time came to the nostrils. Walking into the shrine, the corners were piled with skeletons. On the inside, a figure wearing a white robe was sitting at the table, as if
It's praying.
This person is the light transmitter. Although he is dressed as a clergyman, he is about 2.7 meters tall. The muscles on his body hold the clergyman's robe tight. His arms are thicker than ordinary people's thighs.
People wonder whether he would conduct physical evangelism if it went against his dogma.
Seeing this person, Su Xiao knew that the mate of Devourer Lieyang had been found.
