Chapter 24: The Big Four(1/3)
Gray flocs fell from the sky like snowflakes.
Su Xiao looked at the black maple tree in the center of the limestone square. He really didn't expect that there was actually a black maple tree in the dead city, and it was so tall.
The tallest black maple tree he has ever seen is the one in the "Place of Beginning and End". It was the mother tree that once belonged to the exterminator camp and is now guarded by the old exterminator, but it no longer belongs to anyone.
It is said that the black maple tree was planted by the exterminators. The extermination camp spent huge sums of money to open the abyss passage, obtained a black maple tree seed, and planted it.
There is a saying that whether it is the black maple tree in Arcane Eternal Star or the two trees in Black Abyss and Yuanlongdi, these three black maple trees are all second-generation black maple trees, formed by the branches of the mother tree.
Cultivation comes out.
This is why Su Xiao believes that the black maple tree in the "Place of Beginning and Ending" is the mother tree. Not only is the black maple tree particularly tall, but also because he cultivates his own through the branches of the mother tree.
His own black maple tree, now his black maple tree is 6.95 meters tall.
The black maple tree seen in the Limestone Square at this time gave Su Xiao a feeling of deja vu. This black maple tree was very similar to the mother tree in the "Place of Beginning and Ending". It was most likely that it was also based on the original
The trees are planted.
It is a pity that this tall black maple tree has died. Seeing this black maple tree makes people feel regretful. How glorious and prosperous the Dark Continent was once was, but now it is so dead and ruined.
The mother tree that we are so proud of here is now dead.
The densely packed bone arrows in the open space under the tree can tell how long the pale hunters have been guarding this place. They are not actually monsters, but the last guards of the Dead City. They guard the main street to prevent this pilgrimage road from being desecrated by outsiders.
, they also guard the black maple tree in the inner city, even though the mother tree has died, weathered, and lost its value.
"Brother Bai Ye, have you ever considered developing your prophecy ability?"
Wood's high emotional intelligence obviously won't say things like, 'Damn, I'm really fooled by you.'
"..."
Su Xiao glanced at Wood and said nothing. Although he mistakenly believed that there was a black maple tree in Dead Silence City, this black maple tree had withered for too long, and had been eroded by Death Silence and failed to store it properly. In fact,
The value is much lower than the commemorative value.
Su Xiao owns a black maple tree. He naturally knows how delicate the output of the black maple tree is. If it is not properly preserved, its value will be greatly reduced, let alone being exposed to the power of death.
Even so, Su Xiao also wanted to take a look near the black maple tree. He vaguely felt that there was something inside the tree.
At first he thought it was a mental illusion, but after noticing Wood's gaze, he decided that there must be something good in this black maple tree.
When it comes to treasure hunting, Su Xiao and Zui Yasjia are not as good as Wood. The devil clan often trades with others, and the number of items and secret treasures they have seen is beyond the reach of other clans.
Although Si Yasi on the side could not even sense that there was a secret treasure in the tree, he believed in Su Xiao and Wood. In Si Yasi's opinion, if there was nothing good in the black maple tree, these two 'good teammates'
He had left long ago. The 100-meter high wall behind was densely packed with pale hunters. It could be sensed that those pale hunters were on the verge of being angered.
Su Xiao looked at the dead black maple tree and the dozens of skeletons nailed under the tree by bone arrows, then turned to look at the high wall. Before knowing what secret treasure was in the tree, it was not worth taking such a big risk.
There is a path on both sides of the gray stone square. Su Xiao's destination is on the left. According to the resonance direction of the [Object of Oath], the Demon Blacksmith is here.
Su Xiao took Bubu Wang and Baha and walked to the path on the left. Seeing this, Wood walked to the gravel road on the right. The fog was diffuse there, giving people a cold feeling. As for Sias, this
The guy is not ready to leave yet, but wants to test whether there is a way to get to the black maple tree.
After following the path around the limestone square, Su Xiao arrived at a group of buildings again, which still had the unique architectural style of Dead City. However, the buildings here were obviously much sparser, but they were taller and covered a wider area.
Su Xiao walked on the street, with a layer of brittle stone beneath his feet. Although this place was more dangerous than the outer city, it would not be chased by a large group of dead people, which gave him the possibility to explore this place.
The top priority right now is to find Eminem's location, but he is located in a dangerous area. The adventure group's location locking authority has been greatly reduced, and they can only explore the group within half a kilometer.
As for relying on perception, as long as you have some sense, you will not release your perception in the Dead City and the Inner City. This will not only attract a group of dead people, but it may also attract several BOSS-level units in the Dead City at the same time.
.
Not to mention anything else, in such a dangerous environment, Ammu’s survivability is not weak. It’s interesting to say that for so long, not only does Ammu’s tanking ability continue to improve, but also its experience in pretending to be dead, Team Su Xiao
Others in it are simply unmatched.
The reason why this is so is because every time Su Xiao fights with a strong enemy, Ammu, as a tank, will naturally block in front of Su Xiao. In addition, the strong deceleration effect of Ammu's ice ability will make the final big wave of SS encountered every time.
They will take the lead in dealing with Eminem.
Many times, Eminem just rushes forward, preparing to use his ice ability to slow down the final wave of bosses, and the opponent directly shoots him down with a big move.
Logically speaking, with Eminem's survivability, it is no problem to fight against strong enemies of the same level and resist a big move. However, the strong enemies that can be seriously dealt with by Su Xiao are all really strong enemies, even slightly stronger.
If he was careless, Su Xiao would die on the spot.
After capturing such a powerful enemy's ultimate move, even though Eminem's survivability is strong, he is almost exhausted, so every time a battle begins, Eminem rushes up → Eminem is about to slow down the enemy → Eminem is blown away
→Amu lay motionless in the distance.
Continue to get up and rush forward in a dying posture. This is not the style of Team Su Xiao, so every time Eminem lies there motionless, pretending to be dead while the enemy is not paying attention to drink the bottle of medicine, and then uses the boob bang method
His aura ability gradually restored his health. When his condition was better, and Su Xiao had fought the enemy to the last moment, Eminem got up boldly and rushed over to get beaten.
Eminem's ability to play dead is not only due to practice making perfect + high-intensity actual combat, he also has an ability called "Elemental Physique", which has a strong affinity with natural elements and can form a good cycle with natural elements to strengthen himself.
This ability does not involve abusing the power of elements, nor does it involve swallowing natural elements. It is more like breathing, sucking in natural elements, and then exhaling the natural elements. If the natural elements are not compatible with Eminem, it cannot do this.
This ability gives Eminem a hobby, pretending to be a big tree. Obviously, pretending to be dead is much easier than pretending to be a big tree.
Although Eminem is a bit silly, after entering the Deadly City, this fool didn't even dare to express his anger. He obviously knew how dangerous the source of the Deadly City was.
If your guess is correct, Eminem at this time is most likely planting a big tree deep in the Silent City. It is worth mentioning that this ability is fundamentally different from Bubo Wang's ability to blend into the environment.
Su Xiao checked the team channel and found that Eminem was in good condition. It would not be a good idea to rush into the Dead City to retrieve Eminem. Instead, the team would be destroyed due to reckless advance.
While thinking, Su Xiao walked along the street and arrived in front of a magnificent courtyard. The door of the courtyard was wide open, and a gravel road spread inside. There was a circular pool in the center of the courtyard. The water in it had dried up, leaving only dry moss.
Su Xiao walked into the courtyard along the gravel road. The trees planted on both sides were dead. On these dead trees, there were many skeletons hanging. The severely weathered clothes on the skeletons looked like clergymen.
Continuing forward, Su Xiao saw corpses everywhere, many of which were mutated to the point of deformity, and some were wearing heavy armor and holding heavy shields and swords.
Su Xiao saw the circular seal representing the Healing Church on these armors, heavy shields, and swords. In front of this large group of skeletons was an ancient and magnificent cathedral.
This cathedral is exactly the same as the one in the High Wall City. No, it is the cathedral in the High Wall City, a replica of this cathedral. This is where the Healing Church was founded and rose.
The main street that extends all the way to the inner city does not lead to this cathedral. In other words, in the age of gods, people did not make pilgrimages to the Healing Church, but believed in and made pilgrimages to an existence higher than the Healing Church.
Su Xiao has never been able to figure out what role the Healing Church plays in the age of gods and the subsequent disaster era when death comes.
The information currently known is that the old Healing Church at that time was not established by the Archbishop and the Holy Priest. They were all members of the Old Church.
After the arrival of Dead Silence, the old church seemed to be both glorious and disgraceful. However, one thing is that no clergy of the old church have been found to have turned into monsters in the Dead Silence City. At the last moment, they either left here or committed suicide.
Many of the many clergymen hanging on the trees are powerful people, and many of their skeletons still contain extraordinary power. If they had turned into monsters during their lifetime, they would have been very powerful.
[Tip: You have arrived at the Sleeping Garden.]
Su Xiao took out the [Object of Oath]. This badge-like object had become warm, and a mutually resonant feeling came from the cathedral in front.
After passing the gravel road, Su Xiao climbed a dozen steps and arrived at the main entrance of the cathedral.
The tall metal doors stood opposite each other, and the faint sound of metal banging could be heard inside. It was unmistakable that the demon blacksmith was inside the cathedral.
Rather than entering the cathedral immediately, Su Xiao was more interested in a dark ball floating in front. This thing was about the size of a marble, stirring slowly like a hole of darkness in mid-air.
Seeing this thing, Su Xiao felt a little familiar. He raised his hand to touch it. Of course, such a good thing cannot be missed.
As Su Xiao touched the dark ball, the dark ball immediately sank into his fingertips and was absorbed by his reincarnation brand.
[Tip: You get 1% of the source of darkness.]
[Source of Darkness: After the hunter obtains more than 5% of the Source of Darkness, he can go to the "Sacrifice Altar" to perform rituals to improve existing natural abilities. 】
[Tip: Each talent can be upgraded up to 4 times, and the number of upgrades has been 8/12. The intensity of improvement depends on the potential of the talent. 】
…
Regarding the source of darkness, of course, the more the merrier. Su Xiao’s unique talent for destroying magic, Shadow Hunting, still needs to be improved. I don’t know what kind of qualitative changes Shadow Hunting will have after four upgrades.
Su Xiao pushed the metal door with both hands. With a muffled sound, the door of the cathedral opened, and a wave of heat poured out from the crack in the door.
When, when, when...
The sound of uniform knocking came. Su Xiao walked into the cathedral and found that although it was dozens of meters high, there was only one floor. There used to be many floors, but the partitions between each floor had been opened. Now he looked up.
Looking up, you can see the stained glass inlaid in the dome.
The entire cathedral covers an area of thousands of square meters, but it is not empty. Instead, it is separated by high platforms and spiral staircases. It can be seen that this place was once used as a defensive building. The outside courtyard and this building were used to resist monsters.
Assault.
From the thick and exaggerated metal door leaf and the different depths of dents on the door, you can get a glimpse of the brutality of the battle.
Su Xiao looked in the direction of the sound of forging. It was a semi-open room with no doors and only arches. The forging table and furnace were placed here. There was a workbench on the inner wall, and many weapons were hung on the wall.
, mostly semi-finished products.
A burly blacksmith stood in front of the forging platform, pounding the red iron bars on it. The blacksmith's skin was dark red and rough, his beard was tied into a thick braid, and there were curved ram's horns on his head. He turned his head and met Su
Xiao looked at each other, and Su Xiao saw a pair of eyes that seemed to have magma burning inside. It was the demon blacksmith.
"You destroy the law, you are so good at choosing a place to meet."
The demon blacksmith spoke, his voice low and thick. He stood there like an ancient but angry volcano, giving people a great sense of oppression.
The reason why the demon blacksmith said this is because many years ago, an exterminator also made an appointment with him using the [Object of Oath]. However, the location of that appointment was at the "bottom of the world", and the abyss-breeding creature was separated from the alien being.
place, and the person who made the appointment with the Demon Blacksmith was named Marvin Waltz.
