Chapter Eleven: Daughter of the Abyss(1/2)
The hole in the big tree was filled with black mud, like a swamp, and it was a swamp with strong corrosive power.
Facts have proved that simple combat power will be defeated in many situations. For example, this time, if Su Xiao did not have attainments in alchemy, he would be blocked from the big tree hole.
Su Xiao was sinking in the black mud. It didn't feel good. As she sank, the feeling of squeezing and restraint from the surroundings became stronger and stronger. Fortunately, the big tree hole was almost vertical and she could just keep falling.
After sinking in the black mud for about five minutes, Su Xiao felt that her feet were empty, and her body leaked out from under the black mud, falling freely downwards. It seemed that the black mud only sealed the upper part of the big tree hole.
While falling, Su Xiao grabbed a tree root and used the luminous rocks on the surrounding soil to overlook the situation below.
The originally tangled tree roots below have been cleared away, but there is still half a thick tree root nearly 2 meters in diameter above.
A crystal arrow gun was formed in Su Xiao's hand. He flicked his left hand wearing the Black King's armguard and nailed the crystal arrow gun into the root of the tree above, and a spiritual shadow line was connected to it.
Su Xiao grabbed the slender but strong spiritual shadow thread with his left hand and dropped it rapidly. The spiritual shadow thread can not only be used to suture wounds, but as long as the green steel shadow energy in Su Xiao's body is sufficient, he can form a very long spiritual shadow thread.
After descending for a long time, Su Xiao returned to the bottom of the big tree cave. The metal door that he had kicked out of the hole appeared in front of him.
Walking into it from the hole in the door, Su Xiao walked along the long corridor. Soon, he arrived in front of the second sleeping door.
"It's you again. Even though the entrance is blocked, you can still get in."
The face on the door looked slightly surprised, then it sighed and said sincerely:
"Outsiders, give up. You can't see the queen without a secret order. Besides... the queen's situation is not good. My existence is actually the queen's last resort to trap herself. We... after all, it is impossible to escape the erosion of the abyss, the stronger we become.
The closer you get to the abyss, it's... so terrifying and so beautiful."
The eyes of the face on the door were full of memories. Once upon a time, it joined the ranks of resisting the abyss with full confidence, but the final result was that there was no resistance and no enemies. All of them, like-minded strong men, were unknowingly defeated by the power of the abyss.
It was eroded by it, which made it understand that in this world, pursuing strength is equivalent to falling into the embrace of the abyss, and no one can escape.
The abyss has no consciousness, no distinction between good and evil. It is not even a clear place, but more like a conceptual existence.
How about Silver Moon Wolf? When faced with the erosion of the abyss, he could only use his own body to take advantage of it. After being plotted against him, he ended up being eroded by the power of the abyss.
The more powerful you pursue in the tree world, the closer you will be to the power of the abyss. As the strongest person in the northern continent, the queen was severely eroded by the power of the abyss in the early years, and she sealed herself at the bottom of the big tree cave.
"Secret order, sleep forever."
"you!"
The face on the door looked shocked and angry for a moment, then turned expressionless.
Appearing in Su Xiao's hand, he used this silver knife to scratch the palm of his right hand. No wounds or blood stains appeared. The power of the moonlight was blessed on him, as well as Dragon Slaying Flash, and the two effects were successfully blessed.
Su Xiao took it out again and clung to the back of his right hand, forming light orange lines.
Pa~
Su Xiao snapped her fingers with her right hand, and the soul vibration appeared, which resonated with Dragon Slaying Flash and successfully blessed the effect.
Although the door in front has not yet been opened, the ban above has been removed, and the ghost queen's aura spread out. The moment she sensed this aura, Su Xiao blessed herself with the 'double blade' effect, which is the Silver Moon Blade.
+Spiritual Blade.
Judging from the current bonus, the Spiritual Blade is a bit stronger, but this equipment has almost reached its limit. On the other hand, it can grow three times, provided that the three burial places of Silver Moon Wolf are found and fresh meat is offered as a memorial.
.
"For outsiders, this is the last advice. If you insist on entering the queen's chamber, there will be no turning back. Either you will be buried in the chamber, or you will defeat the queen, and the door to the chamber will be opened again."
"..."
"Sorry, I seem to have said nonsense. Looking at your eyes, there is no hesitation."
After the face on the door said this, a series of protrusions and grooves appeared on the metal door where it was located. After these protrusions and grooves were displaced and interspersed with each other, the upper and lower sides of the metal door made a crisp clicking sound at the same time.
There was a sound, and the two rows of door latches retracted.
The door to sleep opened with a heavy metal friction sound. As soon as the door opened a crack, the biting cold air floated out.
When the door was fully opened, Su Xiao walked in. As soon as he entered the queen's bedroom, the metal door behind him suddenly closed, and there was the sound of a mechanism operating inside the door, which was obviously re-locked.
Either kill the queen, or die here, there is no other choice.
The dormitory is thousands of square meters in size. The reliefs and pillars on the surrounding walls give it a sense of the times. There is a 2-meter-wide old red carpet in the center of the ground. Looking ahead along the old red carpet, it is a huge place.
Bed.
The width of the bed is more than seven meters, and there is a translucent curtain in front of it. This curtain is as thin as a cicada's wings, and it is swaying gently with the wind when the metal door is closed just now.
On the bed behind the curtain, a figure was lying on her side, with her pillow on the ice. She was wearing a pure white dress, and a crown was placed next to her headrest.
When I first met the Queen, she was sleeping. She didn't feel powerful. However, she was nearly 5 meters tall, but she didn't look like a giant. Her body proportions were very well-proportioned, giving people a sense of presence. She was really huge.
, beautiful woman.
The queen lying there moved her eyelashes and opened her eyes. Her eyes were dark and her pupils were white.
"Did the prophet ask you to come?"
The Queen sat up slowly and breathed out cold mist.
"Not really."
"That……"
The queen's eyes narrowed a little, and she seemed to sigh.
"Every time I wake up, I can only stay awake for a short period of time. The prophet didn't ask you to come here. Do you have a way to leave here?"
The Queen's voice is gentle, very different from the strong one she imagined.
"have."
"That's good."
"If I kill you, I can leave."
"That's not good."
The queen smiled and sat with her legs sideways. Her long hair had long turned cold white due to being eroded by the abyss and cold for a long time.
Su Xiao walked up to the bed. Crystals spread under his feet, forming a crystal seat behind him, and he sat on it.
"You didn't chop it directly. This is different from what your aura shows."
The queen lowered her head slightly and looked at Su Xiao. There was nothing she could do about it, as the size difference between the two was quite large.
Su Xiao took it out from the storage space and saw the bottle of wine. The gentleness on the queen's face faded a lot.
Ignoring the change in the queen's expression, Su Xiao took out two wine cups, one large and one small. The wine cups were very thin, with a texture like jade and slightly translucent.
Su Xiao poured the wine into two wine cups, picked up the slightly smaller wine cup, and looked at the Queen of the Ghost Clan.
The Queen's eyes were very complicated. There seemed to be nostalgia and a little anger in them.
"This is the last wine, don't you drink it?"
"Of course... I want to drink."
The queen picked up the larger wine cup. Su Xiao was about to drink the wine in one gulp. The queen on the other side reached forward to touch the wine cup, meaning to clink glasses with Su Xiao.
"..."
Ding~
The wine cups touched each other, and Su Xiao drank the wine in the wine cup. Although this was a strong wine, it was slightly sweet in the mouth, and only after it reached the stomach did it reveal its spirit.
It's no wonder that the Queen of the Ghost Clan likes this kind of wine. Just like her, she is usually gentle and approachable, but only in battle will she show her ferocity and power.
The queen covered her mouth with her sleeves and drank a glass of wine. The queen's etiquette was impeccable.
"A taste that makes people miss and hate it."
The queen slowly breathed out the smell of alcohol. After drinking the strong wine, there was a slight blush on her cheeks.
"Outsider, are you here just to defeat or kill me?"
"I'm looking for the Soul-Breaking Shadow Stone."
"This?"
The queen raised her hand and showed Su Xiao a ring on her little finger. The gem on this ring was the last soul-breaking shadow stone that Su Xiao lacked.
"I can't give you the Soul-Breaking Shadow Stone. It belongs to the Slayer, although I have never seen a Slayer."
"I am."
"Huh? Liar~"
"..."
"Are you really a law destroyer? Will the natural elements be friendly to you?"
"..."
The natural elements around Su Xiao gathered towards him.
"It can actually make the elements come closer. This is the first time I have seen a living spell destroyer."
The Queen leaned forward and took a closer look at Su Xiao. Looking at her appearance, she seemed to want to poke Su Xiao with her white and slender index finger.
"Now, the property returns to its original owner."
