In the evening, the setting sun is like blood on the horizon, outside the alliance, in the Great Swamp area to the west, Ghost City.
Ghost City was originally the main city established by the Ghost Clan after they invaded this world. However, after being taken over by the Alliance and the Northern Empire, the Ghost Clan, the Ghost Clan, completely abandoned this place, which also resulted in this place becoming a lawless place.
, the city is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. From a certain perspective, this is actually the home of the Dark God Cult.
At this moment, in an underground palace in Ghost City, the palace is dark. On the high platform inside, a figure is lying here. This is the leader of the Dark Cult, known as the Controller Silvis. Some people also call it the Abyss.
Chief Silvis.
With the help of the dim light reflected from above, we can see that the upper body of the leader of the abyss, Silvis, is a human body, and the lower body is like black mud, like a thick snake body, lying on a high platform.
At this moment, the upper body of the leader of the abyss, Silvis, has his eyes closed. Although he has a strong body, his face is somewhat sickly pale, and his long black hair is flowing freely, while his lower body, which is like black mud, occasionally opens.
One eye after another, these eyes closed within a few seconds after opening, and then opened their eyes in other places. The pupils of all eyes were formed by chaotic overlapping rings.
Suddenly, the cheek of the leader of the abyss, Silvis, twitched stiffly. After his right eyelid trembled a few times, his eyes opened. This gave people the feeling that it was not like it opened its eyes naturally, but more like two eyes.
Invisible hands pulled open the upper and lower eyelids of this eye from top to bottom, which was both stiff and a bit scary and weird.
A bishop of the Dark Cult in black robes stepped forward quickly, bowed slightly and waited for the order from the leader of the abyss, Silvis.
"Go find and tell the traitor that his destruction is coming."
The leader of the abyss, Silvis, said this in a stiff tone. His lower body was like a twisted black snake, and all his eyes were opened. When the ring pupils in these eyes turned to darkness, a blue light shone in them.
A ring pupil appeared, and the next second, with a snap, the healed knife wound exploded on the mud-like body of the leader of the abyss, Silvis, and fine blue arcs surged around the wound.
The facial expression of the leader of the abyss, Silvis, trembled. He opened the eyes on his head. After opening, the left and right eyes of different sizes gave people a strong sense of stiffness and disharmony.
"roar!!!"
The roar carrying the black energy tide spread in the underground palace. The leader of the abyss, Silvis, who was on the stone platform, stretched out his right arm and stabbed into the black mud-like body of his lower body with a pop. He grasped the knife inside.
The hilt of the knife was pulled away, causing him to continue to roar in pain.
Buzz~
The blue threads spreading out from the long knife are connected to every part of Black Mud's body. The more the leader of the abyss, Silvis, pulls away from the long knife, the more painful his expression becomes, and even a double image appears on the upper body.
It feels like the human body and soul are somewhat separated.
Finally, when the leader of the abyss, Silvis, couldn't bear it anymore, it could only let go and pull out half of the long knife. A magical scene appeared. The long knife sank into the black mud body of the leader of the abyss, Silvis.
, and then the blue meridians are redistributed inside.
The human part of the leader of the abyss, Silvis, was breathing heavily, sweat dripping down, and his whole body seemed to have been washed by water.
"Destruction!!"
The roar of the leader of the abyss, Silvis, was heard in the underground palace, and the underground palace shook for a moment before stabilizing.
…
In the banquet hall of the Tulip Hotel in the Holy City.
After a whole day of beating the Dark Cult, it was natural to celebrate at night, so several representatives of the Golden Cult organized this dinner.
Su Xiao, Bu Bu Wang, Baha, Irene, Dre, Yin Mian, Veronica and others were at the same table, while Eminem was at the next table, that is, the table of the old dean and Tessa.
"Sir, why don't we call Eminem over to the table?"
Veronica, who was enjoying the sweet shrimps, opened her mouth and looked at Eminem, who was sitting at the next table without eating anything.
"Sitting at the same table as Eminem, you won't be full."
Baha's wings are like hands, and while he talks, his cooking speed does not slow down at all.
"How is that possible? Look at Eminem, he hasn't even eaten anything. Is he afraid of animals?"
Veronica's hand was stained with a small piece of Shopee and she pointed at Eminem who was sitting next to her.
"Ahem~, ah?"
Baha turned to look at Veronica with caring eyes, and Veronica gave her middle finger in return. This was obviously something Baha learned.
Eminem is afraid of strangers? Of course not. When she asked Eminem to sit at the next table, Su Xiao told her to sit there for at least 5 minutes before eating. Now, the time is up.
A waiter passed by the table where the old dean and Tessa were sitting. The waiter noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere at this table. He took a closer look and saw that the table was completely empty. Cold sweat broke out on his back. The guests at this table had been waiting for so long.
If you don't serve others emotionally, this is dereliction of duty, and your salary at the end of the month will be deducted.
After a while, plates of delicious food were served. The members of the Golden God Cult who organized this banquet were at the big table in the main banquet hall next door, exchanging cups with several high-level alliance officials. They didn’t know yet.
The cost of a meal can be amazing.
Until ten o'clock, under the street lights, Su Xiao was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, holding a cigarette in his hand outside the car window. Baha on the roof of the car took a breath and said: "Hasn't Eminem finished eating yet?"
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Eminem walked out of the hotel. After he squeezed into the back seat, he burped with satisfaction.
"Amu, I'm full."
Eminem was in a good mood and even took the initiative to speak.
"Drive quickly, let's go!"
Baha quickly flew into the car. Veronica, who had just woken up in the driver's seat, didn't know what was going on, but she subconsciously started the car.
When the vehicle drove to the back block, Veronica's eyes in the driver's seat became more solemn. She touched her newly overfed belly and asked tentatively: "Sir, where are we going? Look for us in the back block."
Are you staying at a hotel?”
"No, let's go back to the lunatic asylum."
"Want... why don't we come back tomorrow."
As Veronica spoke, she slowed down the car slightly.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't say anything, which made Veronica in the driver's seat look more and more confused until she drove the car into the warehouse and saw the chandelier she was riding on around the corner.
After a while, Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha stood on the teleportation array and prepared to go back, but Erin, Dre, Silver Face, and Veronica all stood outside the teleportation array.
"Dean, do you have anything important to do tonight?"
Erin asked.
"without."
"Is that so? Then I'll take the car back. Veronica, you drive for me."
"OK!"
Veronica agreed and got into the car. Before Dre and Silverface could come up with an excuse, the car had already driven out of the warehouse.
boom!
After the space transfer was completed, in the bedroom connected to the office, Dre quickly rushed into the office and rushed out of the door. After a while, he heard Dre's dragon roar coming from the bathroom in the corridor.
As a top assassin, Silver Face walked out calmly. As soon as he reached the corridor, he supported the wall. After waiting there for a long time, he walked forward supporting the wall at a slower pace than Kingsley and his aunt.
Su Xiao was sitting alone in the office. Today's removal of Vice Dean Yesinger made the current chaotic situation a lot clearer. Not only that, he also received a kill promotion.
[You have killed Vice Dean Yesinger.]
[You get 10.7% of the source of the world.]
[You get the Box of Ambition (a special treasure box type item).]
…
Although Vice Dean Yesinger has no combat power, his status and being the core figure in this confrontation gave him such a killing prompt.
In Su Xiao's view, compared with these gains, the biggest gain is to push the eager Dawn Sect back to the "Holy Orchid Kingdom".
Cooperating with the old dean this time, Su Xiao discovered that although this old guy has no fighting power, he can be called an encyclopedia of the world's forces. Presumably, if he manages the lunatic asylum in an orderly manner without the use of force, he must be in trouble.
Other aspects are extremely outstanding.
Compared with Tessa, the intelligence channel in the hands of the old dean is weaker, but it is more stable and can be mobilized freely. Unlike Tessa's side, only the last one of the three promises is left.
This is normal. Tessa is neither Su Xiao's subordinate nor a relative. The two parties are in a cooperative relationship and have equal status. Naturally, they will not help Su Xiao for no reason. Of course, this is because the interests of both parties are not consistent.
Under the premise.
The reason why Tessa was so cooperative in the parliament before was because of her disgust and hatred towards the Dark Cult.
Tessa was certainly in a good mood after taking care of the Dark Cult today, but there were also some things that bothered her, namely her rebellious sister Alyssa. As a new generation member of the Mono family, her sister Alyssa,
It is true that I am somewhat spoiled by my elders.
The good news is that Alyssa has made rapid progress in extraordinary practice recently, to the extent that Tessa was a little shocked. She even wondered whether her sister was being targeted by something like an ancient soul, and she even made some insinuations.
A problem that only her sister knows about, this may seem like a small talk, but if something is slightly wrong, Tessa, as the leader of the hunters, will immediately notice it.
The result made Tessa very happy. There was nothing wrong with her sister. She was still her rebellious but beloved sister. As for extraordinary practice, if there was no problem in the follow-up, Tessa must admit that her sister was the strongest genius she had ever seen. This
Tessa, who is known as the strongest in the alliance, feels very happy and a little sad at the same time.
These things were said by Tessa after she got tipsy tonight, putting her arms around Su Xiao's shoulders. The more Su Xiao listened, the more silent she became. The 'own daughter' really knew how to choose.
She didn't even need to think about Su Xiao to know that the change in Tessa and her sister was due to Feihong, and Feihong was still coexisting with Alyssa. Without Alyssa's help and cooperation, Feihong could hide in her heart.
, it is impossible to hide it from a strong person of Tessa's level.
Tessa's sister's change made Tessa even happier than after she had dealt with the Dark Cult. After she was half drunk, what she said was not that she had commanded the capture of the Abyss Spawn alive, nor was it the arrest of the Masters of Hatred and Mind, but
About my sister’s rapid progress.
Not only that, Tessa also accidentally said something during the drunken chat. In the "Ghost City" in the westernmost part of the mainland, which is the headquarters of the Dark God Cult, a new generation of people who are famous for their toughness were...
Called the Son of Darkness.
After hearing the news, Su Xiao knew that Black A's rebellious son had developed well. For darkness, "Ghost City" was indeed an excellent place for development. It was a mixed bag of fish and dragons, which was particularly suitable for Black A's style.
As a result, of the five Devourers, the whereabouts of Dark Sun, Sun Apostle, and Crystal Princess are still unknown.
There is no rush in this regard, the Devourers must be given time to develop. After the development stage, it is time for them to fight against each other.
Moreover, Su Xiao learned about the situation of the mysterious Black Rose in the "Holy Orchid Kingdom" through the old dean's encyclopedia of forces.
The current situation in the "Holy Orchid Kingdom" is unstable. The new king is young, and the power is in the hands of the ministers, the queen, and the high priest of the Dawn Cult.
To put it simply, the "Holy Orchid Kingdom" is a coalition of three factions. The first faction is a few high-ranking ministers of the kingdom. They are all powerful ministers under the old king. Now that the new king has come, the best outcome for them is
Gradually retire and enjoy your old age, but all this is simple. After truly tasting the taste of power, few people are willing to give up voluntarily.
Therefore, the queen's faction approached these powerful officials and promised that as long as they were willing to support the queen, they would continue to hold great power. Naturally, these powerful officials could not refuse.
As for divine power interfering with royal power, this has always been a problem in the "Holy Orchid Kingdom". In this world where gods really come, it is too difficult to suppress divine power. This shows how powerful the Alliance and the Northern Empire are.
At present, the Dawn God Sect is also on the side of the queen. It seems that the queen is powerful, but in fact she is just a puppet. The one who really holds the power is the Black Rose who cultivated and supported the queen.
There is really no problem in saying that Black Rose is the queen of the "Holy Orchid Kingdom". By controlling the queen, she controls several powerful ministers. In terms of theocratic power, the Dawn Cult has given a sincere attitude. In the "Holy Orchid Kingdom"
"In the history of history, no king has ever been able to achieve the level of Black Rose.
There is no doubt that Black Rose, who is on the hunting list as a mysterious person, is difficult to deal with. In terms of combat power, she is above the deceiver, thief, and informer. Among the six traitors, she is in the upper-middle level in terms of strength. In terms of strategy, Black Rose is
Rose is probably the strongest of the six traitors.
Su Xiao took out the hunting list, excluding the cheaters and thieves, and arranged the hunting order, with the first whistleblower to prevent this guy who can hide in nightmares from causing any trouble.
Then go to the Black Rose of the Holy Orchid Kingdom. After you get it, go to the Desert Kingdom to find the Sand King (the defector).
The reason why Su Xiao wanted to find the informer in the nightmare first was because the old dean mentioned a key piece of information, the Lightless Island, or the Nightmare Island to be precise.
The reason why the old dean mentioned this was because of the Golden God Cult. A long time ago, when the Deer God was still in this world, the prototype of the Golden God Cult was established, which was called the Ascetic Monastery. They were not named after the Deer God.
I believe in God as a deity, but I admire the Deer God’s will to constantly pursue strength.
Now the core teachings of the Golden God Religion have tempered themselves because of the Deer God. Before the Deer God left this world, he said that he did not care about these followers, but in fact he left one of his two treasures, the "Gold Pot", to
The Golden God Cult, to be precise, the origin of the name Golden God Cult is because of the "gold pot".
What is the "Golden Jar"? The answer is that the Deer God once killed many evil gods, and he collected the blood of an evil god in this "Golden Jar". It was created because of the huge divinity inside.
The so-called power of gold.
To put it simply, none of the members of the Golden Cult currently have the power of gold in their bodies. Essentially, the end point these guys are pursuing is to temper themselves to possess divinity.
During the war many years ago, the "Gold Pot" was taken away by the Northern Empire and later stolen. At first glance, this seemed to be the Northern Empire's way of prevaricating. In fact, this thing was really stolen, and was stolen by a thief.
The thief, a few years later, became the first pirate king in history, and also kicked off the maritime prelude to becoming the King of the Four Seas.
The final location of this "gold jar", according to the alliance's records, can be determined to be on Nightmare Island, but this is of no use. To get to Nightmare Island, you have to pass through the Sea of Storms, which is the dark sea.
The Dark Sea is referred to as the Black Sea. It appeared together with Nightmare Island. Many years ago, an abyss hole appeared in this world. It was still the era of law destruction. After the abyss hole appeared, the abyss energy was so rich that it appeared as a black liquid. From above,
Water poured down from the abyss and poured onto an unnamed island. This unnamed island is now the Nightmare Island.
After Nightmare Island was eroded by the abyss, the legacy was mostly reflected in the nightmare area on the island. The area that was really severely invaded by the abyss was the sea area centered on Nightmare Island.
The water in this vast sea area is black. There are marine creatures in the sea that have been invaded by the power of the abyss. The energy of the abyss makes them extremely powerful. In contrast, they are also extremely ferocious. When they see a ship coming to the Black Sea, they will take the initiative to attack
attack.
Its terrifying level is equivalent to throwing a skinned beef cow into a water filled with piranhas. Everything that can float on the sea is the target of attack by these dark sea beasts.
The pirate king back then was chased and forced to enter the dark sea because he was still willing to give up the "Gold Pot" in his later years. With great luck, he arrived at Nightmare Island and took refuge with the King of Nightmares there.
Hearing the old dean talk about the King of Nightmares, Su Xiao remembered that he had killed a King of Nightmares before, and the other party used a weapon called Mo Yun to create a small venue for him to challenge the other party. Now,
My only impression is that the King of Nightmares is indeed quite resistant to beatings.
Su Xiao thought of Nightmare Island for two reasons. First, there was a 70% chance that the informer would be there, which was also called the Nightmare King on the island.
Secondly, even if the informant is not there, the Deer God's "gold jar" is still worth a visit to Su Xiao. Not to mention the effect of this thing, the huge amount of divine blood in it is what he wants, and besides, the gods
There is no concept of shelf life for source blood. To say that this thing is blood is more like a metaphor. It is more appropriate to call this thing the original divinity. It belongs to a rare energy of the spiritual system. Only the spiritual system can condense this energy.
Su Xiao's ideas became clearer and clearer. First he would go to the Nightmare Island on the sea, then the Holy Orchid Kingdom, and then the Desert Country.
How to cross the dark sea is a problem. Su Xiao will never gamble on luck in this kind of thing. In other words, if he does not make enough preparations, it will be a miracle that he can reach Nightmare Island by boat.
If you want to cross the dark sea, you need a guide who knows enough about it. The problem is that no Alliance ships will go there. Only the outlaws on the sea will go there for the extraordinary materials that the sea monsters in the Black Sea can produce.
, go there and take risks.
After some screening, Su Xiao found that the kind of desperado on the sea would not be imprisoned in a lunatic asylum. The crime was not serious enough. There were no desperadoes on the sea, but there was one Pirate King.
Su Xiao took off the ring on her hand and threw it to Baha with a clang: "Go and release the angry shark."
"Do you need to shackle him?"
Baja caught the ring representing the director of the lunatic asylum, tried to activate it, and then put it away after confirming that there was no problem.
"No, just bring it back."
"Okay."
Baha flew away, and it took more than half an hour for it to return and walk into the office with the angry shark.
"sit."
Su Xiao pointed to the seat opposite the desk. Angry Shark looked around for a few seconds before sitting down feeling very uneasy.
"Angry Shark, there's something..."
Just as Su Xiao was halfway through her words, the angry shark on the opposite side refused and said in a tone of preparation for bargaining chips:
"Impossible Captain White Night, I am a pirate, the Pirate King who signed my name in the Pirate Code."
After hearing this, Su Xiao asked Veronica, who had just arrived outside the door to wait for a while, to come in. Half a minute later, Veronica sat next to Su Xiao, with a nearly 1.8-meter-long sniper cannon in her hand placed on the desk.
Veronica, who was leaning against the head of the angry shark, was eating the crispy noodles she got from Bubo Wang. She was holding the crispy noodles in one hand and the handle of the gun in the other, with her index finger on the trigger.
"Pirate, I'll give you a chance to rearrange your language."
Baja at the desk opened his mouth and signaled to Veronica that he could shoot at any time.
The shark-faced angry shark glanced at the dark muzzle, turned to smile disdainfully, and said relaxedly and with a smile: "Dean, what are your orders? I, the angry shark, will do my best. I was joking with you just now, and I am active and lively.
It’s just the atmosphere.”
Seeing this, Veronica picked up the sniper cannon on the table, the black muzzle no longer pointed at the angry shark, Silverface also put away the sharp arm blade against the angry shark's throat, and the melee gun in Dre's hand
, no longer pressing against the back of the angry shark's head, and finally Eminem's Dragon Heart Ax also moved away from the angry shark's neck, and the ax blade made a soft sound.
Judging from the smiling shark face of Angry Shark, it was obvious that he was impressed by Su Xiao's negotiation skills and chose to willingly become a navigator on this voyage.
