Chapter 22: The most underworld adventure group in history
The golden thunder pillar pouring down from the sky gradually became thinner, and finally became as thin as a curved thread, disappearing into the air, and the wrath of the sky that made people tremble finally stopped.
The water level of "Gaoze Lake", known as the mother lake, has dropped by more than 90%, revealing a large area of cracked lake bed that looks like it has experienced a drought. Due to the terrifying high temperature generated after the boundary lightning struck, the cracked lake bed appeared.
Vitrified rough crystal texture.
Dozens of vigorous figures rushed out from the dense forest. When these indigenous people wearing animal skin skirts and faces covered with graffiti saw what they saw, they screamed in horror, and some even knelt down and faced "
"Gao Zehu" knelt down and worshiped.
Because the water level dropped by more than 90%, an island in the lake was exposed in the lake, and Kara is located on this island in the middle of the lake.
At this time, Kara was like a crab that had been stepped on by the sky. All its claws and feet were submerged into the soil, with the tips of its claws pointing upwards. Its main torso was left with only a pile of thick carapace riddled with holes.
has evaporated.
That's right, Kara died, her death was both simple and complete. This world was already suffering from a series of super doublings, as well as the King Explosion brought by Caesar, so Su Xiao used his elemental affinity to attract thunder here, even if it wasn't...
The strongest eighth-level boundary thunder is also ranked among the top two.
As for attracting thunder with elemental affinity in the void, transcendental and native world, Su Xiao will not do this. He doesn't want to die yet. In the past, there were really law destroyers who were struck to death by world lightning. That brother seemed to be in the void.
Thunder caused by elemental affinity.
Bang!
A large piece of charred carapace flew up, and Su Xiao, with light blue energy mist floating around his body, stood up. Unable to stand still, he rested one hand on the thick carapace standing on the side.
"Cough cough cough~"
Su Xiao covered his mouth with one hand and coughed. Blood seeped out from between his fingers. After the double image in front of him shook for a while, he sat down under the remains of the carapace beside him, took out a cigarette and lit it.
Su Xiao was seriously injured. The good news is that Kara is very resistant after "recovering 5% of maximum health every 3 seconds" and "external armor defense level +4".
In addition, there is a large amount of lake water, which shares the power of the boundary thunder. Therefore, after the boundary thunder reaches Su Xiao, it is not so scary. He resisted with the crystal layer and was on the verge of death before reaching the limit of triggering the [Bud of Creation].
.
It is good news for Su Xiao that the [Bud of Creation] has not been used up. Today is already the sixth day after entering this world. In just three days, the Netherworld will invade. With the [Bud of Creation] this kind of life-saving
Props, after all, provide an extra escape route.
Su Xiao touched the [Thunder Spirit] clinging to his arm. It was like a world-class equipment made of entangled tree roots. It was the basis for his ability to attract the world thunder.
The power of the boundary thunder caused this time was something Su Xiao had never experienced before, so he had just controlled the [Thunder Spirit] to absorb a lot of boundary thunder. Later, when he had time, he would use this kind of boundary thunder to give Bubuwang, Ah.
Mu, Baha, and Beni have improved their lightning resistance.
Su Xiao checked his own lightning resistance and found that it had reached 172 points. It was 159 points before, which was a full increase of 12 points. A more intuitive metaphor is that an eighth-level contractor who specializes in the thunder system encounters an opponent with more than 160 points of lightning resistance.
It's almost like meeting a long-lost wild dad.
The reason why the thunder resistance has improved so much this time is because Su Xiao's Qinggang Shadow ability has undergone some changes. He checked the prompt that just appeared.
[Tip: Because you have endured high-intensity lightning stimulation, your Green Steel Shadow branch ability·Destruction (passive) has been transformed into a characteristic ability.]
[Characteristic abilities: There is no fixed way to improve this type of ability. It will be improved with the corresponding tendency or the improvement of the hunter himself. 】
…
Regarding characteristic abilities, Su Xiao had learned about them in detail a long time ago. The popular metaphor is that branch abilities transform into characteristic abilities, and you make a lot of money.
"The branch ability of the Green Steel Shadow: Spell Destruction (Passive), after you suffer legal damage, the energy of the Green Steel Shadow in your body will be further activated, thereby continuously increasing your legal resistance (incremental improvement).
Tip: If no legal damage is received within 40 minutes, this bonus will gradually decay.
Tip: After each battle with the magic system, if you have suffered multiple magic damage, your magic resistance will be permanently improved by a small amount.
Tip: When you withstand lightning, fire, freezing and other effects, the corresponding resistance will be permanently slightly increased (this is a growth-type improvement)."
This is one of Qinggang Shadow's previous branch bonuses, the method of destruction. It has now been separated from Qinggang Shadow's skill introduction and has become an independent characteristic ability.
The so-called characteristic ability has the disadvantage that it cannot take the active form, but the advantage is that it does not consume resources. For example, this "destruction method (passive)", when Su Xiao's real physical attributes, Qinggangying ability level, and real intelligence attributes are improved,
This ability will also gradually improve, and it is an ability that will never be eliminated or outdated even if resources are not used.
Su Xiao has several special abilities, namely: Soul Thread, Soul Hunting Scythe, Energy Blocking (also stripped from the Green Steel Shadow ability), Rhythm of All Things (stripped from the Sword Master), Blood Shadow, and Destruction Method.
.
It's interesting to say that this branch ability of the Blue Steel Shadow called Spell Exterminator was designed by the ancestors of Spell Slayers to permanently increase the Spell Resistance when fighting spell casters.
Let the spell destroyers become stronger as they fight, temper themselves, and finally gain spell resistance that astonishes the spell casters.
The problem Su Xiao faces is that he rarely encounters the legal system. This is not due to fate, but because the powerful legal system experts in the paradise camp or the native world sense his aura and turn around and leave, unwilling to fight with him.
He met, let alone fought.
Occasionally, I encounter a magician who takes the initiative to slide and shovel, and the opponent dies within a few strokes, which is very unsatisfactory.
This led to the fact that after Su Xiao's Qinggang Shadow energy derived the method of destruction (passive), the magic resistance did not increase much, but the lightning resistance increased slowly, reaching 172 points.
Su Xiao mentioned this matter to Marvin Waltz last time, hoping that the unscrupulous mentor would give some advice, but the other party laughed very loudly.
Su Xiao glanced at the magic-killing (passive) that was turned into a special ability. After this lightning strike, the "common sense bonus" of this ability in improving lightning resistance was no longer lower than the potential of improving magic resistance.
Su Xiao believes that this characteristic ability is more appropriately called "Thunder Control".
[Tip: You have killed the world-class creature Kara.]
[You gain gold skill points x 2.]
[You obtain the Source of the World (because Kara was eroded by the Netherworld, its characteristics of the Son of the World were greatly reduced, resulting in the Source of the World obtained from killing also being reduced). 】
【You get 3319 soul coins.】
[You get a world-class treasure chest × 1.]
[You obtain the Hole of Darkness (a special item that cannot be taken out of this world). 】
…
The reward for killing Kara is rich, but there is one thing. Although Su Xiao has notarized his own camp before, the achievement task related to Kara was not triggered, and he missed the reward of the task that can obtain the world key. Although this is regrettable, but
There is no way, not so many things are perfect, this is reality.
Putting the treasure box away, Su Xiao looked at the [Dark Hole] floating in front of her. This was an additional gain from killing Kara.
【Dark Hole】
Origin: Abyss/Bottom of the Netherworld.
Type:Special Item
Effect: This item is about to be constructed, but due to the death of the host, the item has been damaged.
Introduction: When the hole of darkness covers the blazing sun, the underworld is coming.
…
Su Xiao looked at the hole of darkness in front of him. The crystal layer was wrapped around his hand. He tapped it with his index finger. Black slag fell from the hole of darkness. This was a failed product.
Su Xiao's understanding is that someone plotted against Kara and then planted a hole of darkness in Kara's body.
The netherworld forces do not want to turn Kara into a weapon of war, but they want to eradicate this world-class existence and at the same time open a channel through the other party to facilitate a large-scale invasion of Pandora.
This made Su Xiao sure of one thing. "Netherworld" is definitely not that kind of chaotic and disorderly force. This force has terrifying invasions, war methods, and extremely clear strategies.
Su Xiao does not believe that the Netherworld will invade this world for no reason. According to known intelligence, the Netherworld's invasion of this world started a long time ago. The specific manifestation is that there are occasional strange events in the empire, but such events are very rare.
few.
To understand it another way, there is something in this world that the netherworld forces want to get, but that thing is not worth the large-scale invasion by the netherworld forces, so they gradually invade this world in a slow-effective but low-cost way.
According to the original plan of the Netherworld forces, it is likely that they would withdraw after seizing the item and not waste time here.
The withered heart produced after using [The Beginning of Nightmare] is also something that the Netherworld forces need, and this thing is even more attractive to the Netherworld forces.
This time, there are a total of three withered hearts in this world. This situation is enough to attract the Netherworld forces to launch a large-scale invasion.
The problem is that compared to the item held by the empire and the withered heart held by Su Xiao, the priest, and the undead girl, the jar of the abyss in Caesar's hand has an almost fatal attraction to the netherworld forces.
This also led to the attitude of the Netherworld forces towards this side being upgraded from sending only 'miscellaneous troops' to sending out 'regular troops'. In the end, the Netherworld forces decided to stop everything else and devote all their efforts to invading this world.
During the battle, this is the main reason why the danger level of this world has skyrocketed.
Since the Nether Force is regarded as a treacherous camp that has a leader and is good at strategy, is there really only one "Dark Hole" that helps the Nether Force invade Pandora?
Since the confrontation with Gray Gentleman, Su Xiao has been accustomed to thinking about whether the enemy puts all his eggs in one basket.
Assuming that the Gray Gentleman plans this invasion plan, the other party's plan must be to plant "holes of darkness" on both Kara and another person. It seems that Kara's side is the core of the plan. In fact, this side is
Used to attract other people's attention, another goal that is easily overlooked is the real shocking explosion.
Don't ask why Su Xiao knows it so well. He has been arranged by this style of plan in the Alliance Star. This is not shameful. What is really shameful is that he has no long memory.
Assuming that there is really a second hole of darkness brewing in Pandora, it must be destroyed, otherwise, the Netherworld may invade today instead of three days later.
If the Netherworld forces invade today, you will know from the tragic situation of the mother planet and those colonial stars that the defense force deployed by our side will definitely not be able to stop it. If we cannot afford the defense tower, it will be in vain. No matter how many troops we have, there will be no Netherworld force.
One percent or even more than one thousandth of the power.
After simple troubleshooting, Su Xiao took out the contact device and dialed a number. After a few seconds, the communication was connected.
"Rhine Gold?"
Su Xiao exhaled smoke from his mouth, and the other person was silent for a moment and said: "Yes."
The last time Su Xiao and Rhine Gold met, it was on the carrier spacecraft. At that time, the two sides were enemies. Now the relationship between the two sides is more subtle, they are both enemies and allies.
"Your uncle's mind was eroded by the Netherworld?"
"Lord White Night, this matter..."
"Pull open his heart or brain and look for rings made of black particles."
After hearing Su Xiao's words, the other person was silent for a few seconds before saying: "Lord White Night, I am a member of the system. When doing things, I must consider the rules of the system. Give me a reason to ignore the rules of the system."
"Netherworld invades today, or invades in three days, you choose."
"Understood. I will reply to you in ten minutes. If you don't receive a reply from me within ten minutes, it means that I am dead. Try to organize defense forces as much as possible to resist the undead in the netherworld."
Leaving these words behind, Rhine Gold on the opposite side hung up the communication.
After a while, Bubu Wang, Baha, and Barbatos arrived one after another, among which Barbatos was the most embarrassed. After Su Xiao assessed the other party's situation, he decided to go back and overhaul it.
Rhine Gold did not let Su Xiao wait for ten minutes before replying to the communication.
"Lord White Night, I did find a ring composed of black particles in my uncle's heart. Is this the ring of darkness?"
"right."
"What should be done?"
"Kill your uncle."
"Understood. Thanks for reminding me. I will report this matter to the empire and Mr. Alding will prepare a thank you gift for you. See you later."
In the secret cell of the main fleet, Rheingold hung up the communication and turned his gaze to General Sander, whose chest was cut open, revealing the heart and the ring of darkness above. This was Rheingold's uncle.
After General Sander was deposed and imprisoned, he was scanned and tested more than once, but no problem was ever found. This shows that the dark ring is secretive and not everyone can carry it.
Rhine Gold looked at his uncle, and scenes from his childhood flashed through his mind. His parents died when he was young, and his uncle was almost his father.
A black force field appeared around Rheingold, and in the next moment, it swept across his uncle's body. General Sander was instantly shocked into red particles, floating in the air.
Rhine Gold took out a pack of cigarettes. He lit the cigarette with a calm look and gestured to walk out. But as soon as he turned around, he paused. After taking one last look at the red particles floating in the room, he turned around and walked out.
.
Even if his heart is like a knife, there are things he must do, not only for the empire, but also for the tens of millions of civilians in Nova City. If even he, as the hand of the empire, hesitates and hesitates, then before such a disaster,
There is no hope for Xinxing City.
…
In the central region, there is a primitive tribe with a population of several hundred.
The flames burned the tent-shaped wooden house, and a primitive man was blown into two pieces. His upper body was hanging between the wooden frames, and his intestines were leaking everywhere.
The smell of burnt meat and blood spread, and the chief of the tribe was hung upside down. Because only one leg was hanging, he was in an awkward position with a big split.
Isaiah, who has a neutral temperament and medium-length blond hair, stands in front of the chief. There is a red mark between her eyebrows, like a trident, and she wears animal tooth pendants on both earlobes.
Compared with the previous shirtless and muscular image, Isaiah is more feminine at this time, with a plump figure, bulging forward and backward.
In fact, Isaiah himself has not decided what gender he/she will become. He/she wants to evolve into a perfect creature and can change gender at will.
Isaiah's index finger pointed at the chief's chest, and with a bang, the flesh and blood on the chief's chest exploded. Along with the broken heart, a black ring also flew out, turning into black particles and scattering.
"Unexpectedly simple, is this your mission?"
Isaiah spoke, but there was no one around her.
"Oh? Kara is dead? You didn't choose Jila, but you chose me? This doesn't make sense."
Isaiah was still talking to herself, as if there was an invisible presence near her.
"I see, if Jila comes from the outside world, you really can't choose her, and you have no way to choose her. Before you said that you were going to die, then this planet will also be destroyed with you? Aren't you from this planet?
Will?"
Isaiah looked ahead, and soon, a thought answered her. The death of world consciousness does not mean the collapse of the world.
In various native worlds, there are actually very few people with clear world consciousness, and no native world has been seen to die out at will.
Due to the continuous invasion of the netherworld forces, the death of Kara, and the exhaustion of everything, after choosing a new savior, Isaiah, the huge consciousness that exists on Pandora has finally reached the point where it has run out of fuel and is about to be annihilated.
Already.
Annihilation sometimes does not mean complete destruction, but a process of destruction and subsequent reshaping.
In essence, this huge body of consciousness is not a world consciousness, but an existence that can get close to the roots of this world. That is why it can allow Kara to complete her transformation and make Isiah a savior who is loved by the world.
…
At our own base camp, the mother nest, which is more than 200 meters high, is gradually shrinking, and the sensor tower, Thorn Star Spiral Tower and other Zerg structures are also beginning to shrink in size.
A total of more than 5,800 hosts have been cultivated, including 3 super giant hosts that were fused from hundreds of hosts.
The reason for this is that Su Xiao decided to move. The large mineral vein he now robbed from Nujia has been mined to exhaustion.
After defeating Kara, the entire south officially became Su Xiao's territory. The remaining three Zerg queens and the Spider Queen have formed an alliance. Of course, the alliance is to save face. To be more explicit, it means that the Spider Queen has surrendered.
Isaiah's side pursues individual strength and is half an ally with itself. Regarding this Zerg strongman, Su Xiao's attitude is to be hostile as much as possible. In the future, they may have to deal with the Netherworld forces together. This
It is a powerful fighting force similar to Rheingold.
The last Zerg mother queen, the Crimson Queen, was hammered by Kara to the point where she almost couldn't maintain her queenly appearance and started to complain.
This is not an exaggeration. The Crimson Queen was really stunned by Kara. Now she has reached an alliance with the company and has gone to the "Platinum City" in the east. This is a good thing for both parties.
The Crimson Queen's evolutionary ladder + the company's biotechnology, the two are like thunder and lightning. It can be called a dream linkage. If both parties really cooperate wholeheartedly, in the last few days, maybe Platinum will rise.
Su Xiao will not interfere with the situation there. What he wants to do is to move his base camp to the former location of the Crimson Queen tribe, which is the only source mine in this world.
The super giant host wrapped its own base camp in it. Under the tug of hundreds of other hosts, it slowly flew up and the move began.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the last host put down the "biological reaction stack", and our move was basically completed.
The mother nest re-opened, and the fungus carpet spread close to the ground. Su Xiao stood above the mother nest and looked out. This was a prairie. The advantage of choosing this place as a base camp was that it had a wide field of vision, but the disadvantage was that it would meet the enemy from 360°.
Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the carpet area and build defense towers around it.
Su Xiao's idea is that at this stage, the area of the creep blanket should be 3 kilometers in diameter, and the overall diameter should be circular. With such an arrangement, the perimeter of the creep blanket would be 9,420 meters. Regardless of the area occupied by the defense tower itself, assuming
Each defense tower is 50 meters apart, so 189 defense towers must be built to surround one's own creep blanket.
Once these defensive towers are built, it would be an excellent choice to connect them to each other as walls of biological structures.
It's not that Su Xiao doesn't want to increase the area of his own creep. The larger the circular creep, the farther away the city wall is from the mother nest, and the farther the enemy is from the mother nest.
The problem is that after expanding the scope of the creep, more defense towers are needed. Even though the defense towers are still under development at this stage, Su Xiao estimates that the construction cost of this thing is definitely not low.
Regarding our basic type of defense tower, we have already taken a prototype. It is a type that combines Kara missiles. Those missiles with long arms and tracking performance are incredibly easy to use, powerful and explosive.
The range is excellent, and finally, it has the continuous defense-reducing characteristic that can be called a heavy unit killer.
According to Zerg scientist Pross, today's acquisition of Kara's biological samples is a critical breakthrough. Tomorrow morning at the latest, it will be able to develop a defense tower that can launch a large number of missiles. In terms of performance, it is better than Kara's missiles.
Missiles are only strong and not weak.
This is good news, but the plasma weapon is still under development. This convenience is not urgent. Even if it is developed, this kind of defense tower will not be much stronger. This is a trump card against the enemy's super giant units.
After a while, the creeping carpet covered the surrounding three kilometers, and the sensor tower and the Thorny Star Spiral Tower stood up. The scope of the creeping carpet is not fixed. In the future, we will build more defense towers, and the base camp will become larger and larger, even beyond
Nova City and Platinum City.
When everything stabilized, the workers restarted mining the source mine below to avoid subsidence. The base camp was built diagonally above the source mine.
Several gray-skinned, hairless figures walked out of the incubation nest. It was the mother nest that was trying to get rid of the stumps of faith and breed fanatical believers.
After these fanatics walked out of the hatching nest, they looked up at the sun for a moment, and then they lined up and walked to the west. All fanatics did this, for unknown reasons.
Su Xiao made a rough calculation and found that more than 500 fanatic believers had appeared. Cultivating the Sun Flame Dragon had filtered out too much faith residue, so this was the only way to go.
She had no time before, but now that she has time, Su Xiao asked Bubu Wang to follow these fanatic believers to see what they did.
After a while, Su Xiao used the signal sent back by Bubu Wang to see the fanatic believers on the screen on the terminal. A black substance appeared on their bodies at some point. They looked like rags, but in fact they were
The texture of this thing is very thick and deep, not like a substance with physical properties, but more like a manifestation of evil thoughts.
Why are these fanatical believers burdened with such heavy evil? Logically speaking, they were born not long ago. If you think about it differently, perhaps what they are carrying now is not their own evil, but the evil of the world and the evil of the empire.
, corporate evil, all human evil.
As far as sun belief is concerned, this is actually normal. The biggest characteristic of sun belief is that it rarely talks about it and more about doing it.
The footsteps of these fanatical believers who were burdened with the evil of human nature became extremely heavy. They would leave deep footprints without taking a step, and in front of them was a mud road trampled by many footprints.
Bubuwang overtook these fanatics and marched at full speed along the dirt road. When they arrived at the Great Gobi Desert in the west, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, but the sky here was red, and the strong wind was blowing gravel.
In the wind and sand, Bubuwang searched for a long time before he found the trace left by the fanatic believer. Through this trace, he traced a corpse. The fanatic believer, wrapped in tattered black robes, fell there and died.
For a long time.
Continuing to track, Bubu Wang came to a majestic huge palace and entered the main entrance of the huge palace. Bubu Wang was shocked by the scene in front of him. The corpse of a famous fanatic believer was piled there. They were holding the broken weapons that were originally in the temple.
, died from fighting each other.
A still-living fanatic is sitting on the pile of corpses. The black tattered robes on his body are so black that it makes people feel chilly in their hearts. They are the result of the countless evils of human nature that they have carried.
Looking at this fanatic believer, Bubu Wang trembled in fear. Fortunately, this fanatic believer had no ill intentions.
Just as Bubu Wang was about to retreat, footsteps came from outside the giant hall, and a dusty figure came over. He was a fanatic believer who had practiced asceticism. After entering the giant hall, he picked up a black and rusty sword from the ground and charged at him.
The fighting method used by the fanatic believer on the pile of corpses is quite reminiscent of the hunters in the world of paintings, and also feels like the warriors of the sun.
On the top of the Brood Nest, Su Xiao put away the terminal. He didn't know why the fanatics would behave like this. He didn't fully understand the belief in the sun. This belief has a long history.
From the fact that fanatic believers are willing to bear the evil of human nature, it can be seen that they should be in the neutral/friendly/occasionally evil camp. In Su Xiao's opinion, this is not dangerous.
Su Xiao looked at the sky. It was already eight o'clock in the evening. Except for the absence of the sun, the sky was still as bright as day. A black ring was located in the sky, and a green viscous liquid would occasionally drip from it. The invasion of the underworld was very close.
Already.
In addition to this, Su Xiao also discovered another thing, that is, Kaiin is not dead. Not only is Kaiin not dead, but the three team members who were present at the time, Silver Pheasant and others are also not dead. The remaining more than a hundred members are all dead.
Death suddenly. To be precise, four people including Kain and Silver Pheasant were already dead. They were saved from death because of their team skills.
The Hall of Valor is the largest SSS-level adventure group, and its team's core capabilities cannot be compared to that of a single-person SSS-level adventure group. After all, the improvement of the two is very different.
The four members of Kain did not die because of their core team skills. The problem is that they did not die, but they tricked more than 40 team members in this world who did not participate in the "Gaoze Lake Project".
A total of more than 190 people came to the Hall of Heroes this time. A world thunder struck, and more than 150 people died on the spot. Although four people, including Kain and Yin Pheasant, 'survived', they became heroic spirit beings. To put it bluntly, they were heroic spirits.
To put it bluntly, it means "ghost".
The four of Kain became "ghosts", but in order to resist the world thunder and not evaporate the souls of the four people, the team skills of the Hall of Valor overdrafted the lives of all the members of the Hall of Valor in this world. In other words, the forty
Many contractors who did not participate in the "Gaoze Lake Project" and were responsible for other matters suddenly turned into ghosts.
This sudden death turned into a ghost, as well as the captain and the new deputy captain were also ghosts, making the atmosphere in the Hall of Valor suddenly become like the underworld.
At this time, this large group of ghosts are preparing a plan to take revenge on Su Xiao, who has a soul strength of 620 points and has mastered the soul-breaking shadow ability.
