The third soul skeleton is a shortcut. Although the prayer place where this soul skeleton is located is not secret, according to the normal route, the possibility of Su Xiao passing here is very slim.
Without the reminder from the Prophet's Tablet and the trick of tricking Wu Qi into the team, Su Xiao would never have been able to reach here.
Su Xiao didn't know what was in the Holy Sacrifice Hall. If there were a large group of Sun Warriors there, it would be very dangerous to teleport there like this.
"Wuqi, do you know where the Holy Sacrifice Church is?"
"Why are you going there? That place is very dangerous. If you go there, you will die. Dealing with Rogesh is more important."
As Wu Qi spoke, he walked slowly towards Su Xiao with a calm expression.
"Your friend Xi Wu is over there."
"I didn't lie to you, Bai Ye, listen to me calmly, don't go there, let's go deal with Rogash together. Your purpose of letting me leave the dungeon is just to let me explore the way and besiege Rogash."
"Dark Mask is in the Holy Sacrifice Church?"
"Dealing with Rogesh is more important. Holy Sacrifice Hall and Dark Mask are not important."
Wu Qi stopped. He knew that he could no longer move forward. The relationship between the two parties was a bit delicate at the moment.
Su Xiao's thoughts gradually straightened out. The Dark Mask was probably in the Holy Sacrifice Hall. His promotion mission was most likely related to the Dark Mask. The sooner he could obtain that thing, the greater his advantage would be.
Considering that Rogash has been in the royal city for some time, Dark Mask may have been captured by the opponent first. With Rogash's behavior, this is not surprising.
"Wuqi, please arrive at the Holy Sacrifice Hall as soon as possible. The Dark Mask may already be in the hands of Rogesh. The once strongest man, Xi Wu, may also have died in the hands of Rogesh."
After hearing what Su Xiao said, Wu Qi's face looked a little ugly.
"Can you come over immediately?"
"..."
Su Xiao didn't say anything. He didn't want to reveal too much about the 'soul skeleton'.
"What you said...makes sense. There may be no one else in the Holy Sacrifice Hall. I will get to the palace as soon as possible and meet you later."
After leaving these words, Wu Qi rushed away.
It wasn't until Wu Qi disappeared from sight that Su Xiao activated the third soul skeleton. After paying 20 soul coins, the backflow incense in the metal cup surged toward him, shrouding it inside and turning the surroundings into darkness.
After a few seconds, the surrounding black fog gradually faded away, and Su Xiao was already standing in a large hall. There were dozens of holes in the ceiling of the hall, and the sunlight filtered in, illuminating large spots on the ground.
[You have arrived at the Holy Sacrifice Church, which is the core area of King Chiliad City. 】
When the black mist around Su Xiao completely dissipated, the surrounding scene became clear. He was located in the corner inside the hall, with a semi-activated soul skeleton sitting in the corner.
The light spots on the ground were a bit dazzling. There was a lion skin rug in the hall, and there was a stone platform on the innermost side. There were dots of black marks on the ground in front of the stone platform, and a broken stone plate was not far away.
There was a gap between the two giant metal doors of the Holy Sacrifice Hall. There were no Sun Warriors here. Su Xiao felt relieved but also a little disappointed. With dozens of Sun Warriors gathered in this kind of terrain, he could make a lot of money.
Comparing the advantages, this terrain is perfect for killing enemies with Dead Silence.
[Tip: The promotion task·The second ring has been completed and the third ring has been activated.]
[Statistics promotion task·The second ring is taking time, and the remaining task time will be converted into the source of the world reward.]
[You get 11.8% of the source of the world.]
…
Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao was quite surprised. He originally thought that there would be no reward for the second round of the promotion task. But now it seems that is not the case. There is no reward for completing the task itself, but the remaining task time will be converted into rewards.
This is the first time Su Xiao has come into contact with this type of mission. If he receives a mission without reward in the future, he will try to complete it as quickly as possible.
[Promotion Mission: Hole of Darkness (Third Ring).]
Difficulty level: lv.73～lv.75
Mission introduction: Find the Dark Mask, resist the temptation from the mask, and destroy the Dark Mask.
Task period: 4 calendar days.
Mission reward: Promoted to an eighth-level contractor, the branding authority is increased, and the right to use some high-end facilities in the Samsara Paradise is obtained.
Mission penalty: All attributes -20%, forced return immediately.
…
It is similar to the guess, but there are also deviations. Judging from the mission information, once you come into contact with the Dark Mask, it is difficult to resist the temptation of this thing. You will wear it unknowingly. What is the result? There is a high probability that it will not end well.
.
Although Su Xiao wants to become stronger, he will never put on the dark mask. Becoming stronger requires paying a price. Becoming stronger step by step requires continuous sacrifice, and the price gained in a short period of time will accumulate.
Together, and bursting out in a short period of time, the results can be imagined.
Su Xiao guessed that President Rogash should have thought of this, but the other party has been pursuing the dark mask. Does this mean that Rogash has a way to offset the cost of wearing the mask?
According to Wu Qi, so far, only Xi Wu has not had a drastic change in temperament after putting on the dark mask, and was eventually driven by the mask.
According to this speculation, Xi Wu has some ability that can offset the cost of wearing a mask, and this ability is what Rogesh wants.
While chatting with Wu Qi in the dungeon, Su Xiao learned that the heir of the Eternal One Xi Wu was taken away by Rogesh. That was what happened when Rogash left the Holy Land last time.
The Immortal Xiwu is a strong man without ambitions. His heir was taken away, which made him very depressed, and he finally put on the mask of darkness.
Coincidentally, the president, Rogesh, did not care for his two children. One of them, Xiusiro, was still alive. As for Eniel, she most likely died more than ten years ago.
The key clue is: The Immortal Xiwu can wear the mask of darkness at no cost, or at a relatively low price, and his descendants may inherit his ability or physique.
Assuming that Xiusiro and Enile are the stolen heirs of the Immortal Xiwu, many things would make sense. After obtaining the Dark Mask, Guild President Rogesh should go straight to Xiusiro.
, taking away some of Xiusiro’s abilities.
"Something is not good."
Su Xiao muttered in a low voice that Xiusiro might have been arranged by Rogesh. After all, the IQ gap between the two was too huge.
After activating the fourth soul skeleton, Su Xiao walked towards the half-open metal door. There were 6 soul skeletons in total, and there were currently 2 left, one in the gallery and the other in the king's palace.
Judging from the presence of 'soul skeletons' in the Prayer Site and Holy Sacrifice Hall of the King of Chiliad, the Prophet's Slate is quite reliable. Thinking about it this way, the other party's method of destroying the Dark Mask also has a certain degree of credibility.
.
The method of destruction that Su Xiao asked about is to destroy the thing when someone is wearing a dark mask. The key is the black hole in the mask.
The door of the Holy Sacrifice Hall was pushed open less than 1 meter wide. Su Xiao looked out from the crack of the door. Outside the door was a long corridor with a red carpet on the ground.
As soon as Su Xiao walked into the corridor, mist emerged around him. He had no escape route. As long as he returned to the Holy Sacrifice Hall and spent 20 soul coins to activate the soul skeleton in the Holy Sacrifice Hall, he could teleport back to Chiliad.
Royal City·Prayer Place'.
After walking a few dozen meters, a portrait appeared on the walls on both sides of the corridor. There were men and women in the portraits, some were laughing, and some were shouting hysterically.
Da, da, da~
The sound of Su Xiao's footsteps became more and more obvious. In the mist ahead, there was a vague figure sitting on a high stool. Judging from his posture, he seemed to be repairing a painting on the wall.
After walking closer, Su Xiao saw that this was a girl wearing a long skirt. The girl's long pale golden hair was tied into braids. The 2-meter-long braids were her paintbrushes. She was painting a painting full of pictures on the wall.
Portrait of a painful face, modified to look peaceful.
[Tip: You have entered the gallery.]
[Warning: If you are in this area, please do not try to use force, otherwise all 219 paintings in the gallery will become your enemies.]
The sound of footsteps came from the mist on the opposite side, and a man wearing the formal attire of the Ganglu royal family walked out of the mist.
"Welcome to the gallery. I am the manager here, the Nightmare Prince."
…
Inside the side hall of the King's Palace in Chiliad Castle.
"I love you and will love you forever, so you are satisfied."
Xiu Xiluo was hung upside down with a lifeless expression on his face, and near him, the bitter and resentful woman was looking at him. Those eyes, which had no whites and were completely dark, made Xiu Xiluo feel frightened.
"Since you won't kill me, just let me go. What's the point of hanging me here?"
Xiuciro sighed, his trip to the Holy Land was simply a fantasy.
"You are not...the king."
The bitter and resentful woman suddenly spoke, and she came to Xiuxiro step by step.
"I am, I absolutely am! I will change whatever you say..."
Before Xiu Xiluo finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from the right side. The footsteps were very heavy, and a sense of oppression appeared from the right side.
The bitter and resentful woman stepped back a little, moving as fast as a ghost.
A strong figure walked out of the passage on the right. He was more than three meters tall, with muscles on his chest as sharp as granite. His long golden hair was as wild as a lion's temples.
"Here comes another one."
Xiusiro felt something bad in his heart. Through naked eye observation, he felt that the blond man walking step by step was very strong.
"He belongs to me."
The miserable and resentful woman was lying on all fours, her teeth clenching together. The blond man ignored her and just walked over step by step.
Cracks appeared on the ground under the painful and resentful woman, and she suddenly disappeared from the spot. When she reappeared, she was already in front of the blond man, with a withered hand with sharp fingertips grabbing at the blond man's face.
Bang!!
Like thunder exploding, the blond man waved his hand, and the bitter and resentful woman who rushed in front of him was broken into large pieces of flesh and blood. These flesh and blood fragments were like shotgun bullets, shooting towards the wall behind, hitting hundreds of fist-sized fists.
of holes.
Xiusiro's mouth gradually grew larger. When he recovered from the shock, he relaxed his body. Although he should not give up easily in battle, the difference in strength was too big. Strength was not the same dimension at all. It would be more dignified to welcome death calmly.
.
The blond man stopped in front of Xiu Xiluo. His tall body squatted down and pressed Xiu Xiluo's cheek with one hand.
"You, you..."
Xiusiro's pupils were trembling, tears streaked down his forehead and dripped from his hair.
There seemed to be a smile on the blond man's dull face, and he slowly raised his hand.
Poof!
The blond man's thick forearm pierced Xiushiro's chest and stabbed his heart to pieces, but Xiushiro remained motionless.
The flesh and blood all over the blond man's body seemed to be boiling, quickly dissolving and submerging into Xiuxiro's body, turning into Xiuxiro's power.
"ah!!"
Xiusiro shouted angrily, and the chains that bound him broke. Before he fell to the ground, an arm grew out of his back, supporting the ground.
Hot white air rose on the surface of Xiusiro's body. After his feet stepped on the ground, the arms on his back melted back into his body. At this time, the power in his body seemed to burst him.
"You have become stronger, Xiusiro."
I don't know when a figure was standing not far away, with long black hair flowing.
"Luo, Ge, what."
Xiuciro put one hand on his chest. He didn't know who the blond man was, but he gave him all his power, so selflessly... just like his father.
Xiusiro clenched his fists, and with a roar, he rushed out of an afterimage, appeared in front of the president Rogesh, and punched Rogesh in the face.
Boom!
Rogesh's entire face was sunken, and he flew backwards into the wall behind him. The gravel flew and smoke flew everywhere. Xiusiro, who was striding forward, waved his hand, and the wind pressure blew away the smoke.
President Rogesh’s upper body was submerged in the wall and became motionless.
