Vol 50 Chapter 31: : Soul Strength

The space fog spreads around. After entering the space door leading to the monarch's treasure, Su Xiao has been in this dense space fog.
The space fog here is different from the light gray and light golden space fog seen in the past, showing a somewhat ominous scarlet feeling, and it is also somewhat erosive.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, the teleportation still hasn't ended. Su Xiao's eyes looked around and determined that it was in the space gap, so he didn't act rashly.
A few seconds later, a human figure composed of spatial fog gradually appeared in front, which seemed to cause a chain reaction. More than a dozen fog figures appeared in front of them. These figures were either carrying huge weapons or full body armor, and some were still alive. Has wanton twisting tentacles.
What is even more puzzling is that these misty figures knelt down on one knee facing Su Xiao and lowered their heads. The misty figures headed by them even held a ring in both hands.
After waiting for a few seconds, Su Xiao clings to the crystal layer on his right hand and picks up the ring in the misty figure's hand. He just picked up the ring, and the misty figure kneeling on one knee dissipated, and the surrounding space fluctuations became violent.
When the scene in front of him was restored, Su Xiao was already in a foggy gray forest. All the trees within sight were dead and blackened. There were several scarlet lines on the dark trunk. When the tree grew, it ingested the scarlet from the ground, and then withered like this.
The scene was dim and misty. There were many black puddles among the dead trees, and suspicious and dangerous tiny creatures were swimming in them. Extraordinarily obvious.
Su Xiao looked at the ring in his hand. The ring was about 1 cm wide, and it would appear a few times larger when worn on his index finger. It can be seen that the size of the original owner of the ring may be four meters or even more than five meters.
[You get the scarlet ring (pseudo). 】

Introduction: Due to the tyrant's fanatical worship of the Scarlet Monarch, he commissioned the Ash Smoke Workshop in the Dark Continent to imitate the Scarlet Monarch's ring. As a result, the tyrant eventually died under the erosion of scarlet. Even though the tyrant had a strong scarlet adaptability, he forgot where the source of scarlet came from.
Price: 1200 Soul Coins (low durability causes the selling price of this equipment to be greatly reduced).
...
There is a lot of information on this ring. First of all, it is the identity of the tyrant. The tyrant should be the owner of this monarch's treasure. As for the scarlet monarch he fanatically worships, this is unknown.
Su Xiao had a conjecture. When he was in the Black Iron City, the machine maker gave him an item. This item was called [Scarlet Eyes]. When the other party saw Su Xiao, he naturally gave this thing to Su Xiao, the last shadow of the annihilation.
【Scarlet Eyes】
Place of Origin: Eternal Light World · Extinguishing Faction.

Item effect: You can open the seal of the purgatory nightmare and enter the interior of this place, in the scarlet nightmare.
Introduction: The source of scarlet is here, and the spell destroyers have sealed it in the innermost nightmare of the sea of ​​sand.
...
Among the major areas of this world, the Sea of ​​Sand is located in the north. The initial location where Su Xiao entered this world is the periphery of the Sea of ​​Sand, and the very center of the Sea of ​​Sand is the Nightmare of Purgatory.
Many aborigines in this world believe that the nightmare of purgatory is a dangerous place. In fact, this is more like a seal, which seals the scarlet nightmare inside, and that is the real terrifying existence.
According to the introduction of [Scarlet Eyes], the source of scarlet is located in the scarlet nightmare. To understand it in another way, is the scarlet monarch mentioned in [Scarlet Ring (pseudo)] the source of this scarlet?
Thinking of it this way, rather than saying that the tyrant who imitated the [Scarlet Ring (pseudo)] was worshipping the Scarlet Monarch, it was actually more like replacing him.
Another point is that Su Xiao never thought how lucky he would be, and this time he entered the area where the monarch's treasure is located, and inexplicably obtained the [Scarlet Ring (pseudo)], which is most likely for a reason.
Don't forget how this tyrant rose. The other party wore the original sin "Soul Crown" to become a calamity-like existence, and only through the disaster army under his command did he plunder such wealth. In the end, the other party brought this wealth to the world of eternal light. Hide it, and this is the treasure of the monarch.
After Su Xiao entered this place, the reason why he was able to get the [Scarlet Ring (pseudo)] was because he was wearing the "Soul Crown", and the foggy figures he just saw should be the remaining thoughts of the backbone of the tyrant, because the time was too long. For a long time, these thought residues have been unable to distinguish the appearance and breath of the person, and only by the standard of whether the other party has the "soul crown" can we judge who is here.
It was those who had the remaining thoughts who had mistakenly admitted that the owner of this monarch's treasure had returned, so they respectfully presented the [Scarlet Ring (pseudo)].
The rumor is that this tyrant offended the witch world, and he accidentally obtained the key to the eternal light world [Moonlight], so he hid here, and finally died here.
But now it seems that the facts are different from the rumors, especially the existence of the [Scarlet Ring (pseudo)]. No matter how you look at it, it is this tyrant who desires the power of scarlet, and brings all his wealth to this world where the scarlet monarch is sealed. Inside.
The purpose of this tyrant is by no means to rescue the Scarlet Monarch and respect him as the king, but to replace him, seize the power of the Scarlet Source, and become the new Scarlet Monarch himself.
In particular, when fighting against the witch world, the tyrant wearing the "Soul Crown" is still not an opponent of the witch world. This is obviously disgusted by the "Soul Crown", and it is determined that the tyrant is no longer qualified to continue to hold it.
Under these circumstances, it is normal for the tyrant to crave the power of scarlet. In the end, although the tyrant created the [Scarlet Ring (pseudo)], it was also abandoned by the "Soul Crown".
The tyrant who lost the "Soul Crown" was immediately beaten back to its original shape. In the end, let alone go to the depths of the sea of ​​sand to open the nightmare land where the Scarlet Monarch was sealed. This guy never saw the Scarlet Monarch, and was eroded to death by the power of the scarlet. .
When it comes to the power of scarlet, Su Xiao thinks of the father and son of the dark blood city master of the scarlet castle. The father and son are going to open the abyss channel in this world. As a result, the channel is opened, but the power of scarlet emerges. This makes people suspicious. The power of scarlet , is it twisted out of the abyss energy.
Gained by abyss energy, and twisted out of abyss energy, there is a big difference between the two, it is extremely enhanced by abyss energy, belongs to secondary abyss characteristics, can be twisted, it is almost the same ladder as abyss energy, even if it is low, It's just one step lower, the gap between 100 points and 95 points.
The abyss and the element are the two strongest source powers. If the scarlet power is really twisted from the abyss energy, then this power will be quite terrifying.
Thinking of it this way, the scarlet monarch who was sealed in the depths of the sea of ​​sand would be a very terrifying existence. The reason why the other party did not break away from the seal like the Big Four was probably because the magic-killing camp had the strongest seal there.
Another point is that in fact, the seal of the ancestor and the Devourer of the Star Realm was opened by the Lord of Eternal Darkness who was the first to break free from the seal. Even today, the Temple of Light and the Four Giants have not opened the seal of the Scarlet Monarch. There is a kind of It may be that the Temple of Light and the Big Four are also afraid of the Scarlet Monarch and dare not release him.
This is very likely to be the most terrifying existence sealed in the eternal light world by the ancestors of the former generation. Even the unscrupulous teachers and the old annihilation did not mention this existence, and they would not tell Su Xiao how to open the seal. , to avoid Su Xiao to challenge.
Thinking of this, the father and son of the Darkblood City Lord opened the abyss channel, but released the power of scarlet, not a coincidence, but the scarlet monarch is brewing a means to break the seal.
Ignoring the matter of the Sea of ​​Sand and the Scarlet Monarch for the time being, Su Xiao is more interested in one thing right now, which is the [Scarlet Ring (Pseudo)] in his hand. The origin of this thing is really intriguing. The Dark Continent, even if it declines in the later period, the craftsmanship of the workshop will not decline much.
The tyrant also took a fancy to this, so he went to the city of dead silence to build the [Scarlet Ring (pseudo)]. What is intriguing is that one of the most powerful weapons in the dark continent, dead silence and embers, was lost for no reason.
When he first entered this world, Sin Yass mentioned that he was looking for a weapon that could penetrate any defense. Whether or not he obtained this weapon was not the point for Sin Yass, the important thing was not to let the opponent get it.
With the tyrant's behavior, it is very possible for his subordinates to steal the dead silence from the workshop in the dead silence city. If you think about it, there is a high probability that the dead silence will be destroyed, which is in the treasures left after the tyrant's death.
To be on the safe side, Su Xiao completely gathered his breath and moved forward. He didn't go very far when he saw the Dark Eater hiding behind the tree and looking around. He walked forward quietly, and when the distance was less than two meters, Dark Eater. The man shivered in shock.
The Dark Eater lowered his voice and said fiercely, "You, what are you doing!"
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak, and looked forward, a giant came into view. This giant had no head, and his body was dry after rot. At the center of the torso was a one-eyed. The vertical pupil of this one-eyed was scarlet, located around the scarlet pupil. , a black nematode that swims inside the eyeball.
At this time, the rotten giant was wandering aimlessly around. When he saw the enemy at first glance, Su Xiao had no idea of ​​confronting him. Not to mention that the strength of this enemy is amazing, it can't be done in three or two times, even if Killing is not worth the price, and more importantly, it may attract other powerful enemies.
Su Xiao activated the team function and found that Boubo Wang and Baja were both in the distance. Looking into the distance, there seemed to be a small town in the blurry fog, and Boubo Wang and Baja were there.
"How to do?"
The Dark Eater behind the tree spoke, staring at the rotting giant, and obviously felt that the enemy was not easy to mess with, so he did not act rashly.
"You lure it away."
"Why should I go?!"
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak, took out a black crystal, and threw it into the distance. A few seconds later, the rotting giant cocked its nose, and the one eye on its torso became even more scarlet. It was confused for a moment, and then walked in the direction of the black crystal.
"What is this? So useful."
"The scrap from the black maple tree."
"?"
The Dark Eater's fair face was full of confusion, and there was great doubt in his eyes. It snorted softly and muttered: "You are such a waste, even if you get a lot of black maple output, there is no need to waste like this. Well, but, how much of your black maple tree is left, can you… can you sell me some?

"do not know."
Su Xiao looked around as he spoke, and after confirming that there were no enemies in the surrounding mist, he walked to a small town in the distance.
"what?"
The Dark Eater didn't understand what Su Xiao said, and instead said a little angrily: "How can I not know how many black maple trees I have left? If it is me, I can be accurate to grams."
Hearing this, Su Xiao paused, glanced at the Dark Eater beside him, and said truthfully: "Because I have a black maple tree."
"?"
The Dark Eater was even more puzzled, so puzzled that they stopped, and after watching Su Xiao's back video for a moment, quickly followed.
After walking a hundred meters, the Dark Eater finally couldn't help it and asked, "Do you really have a black maple tree?"
"Um."
"Then can I find you to buy black maple trees?"
"Can."
"Then...Thank you, but why did you suddenly enter the tree hole? Huh~"
The Dark Eater suddenly found out that something was wrong, not only because the spell destroyer on the side was standing in a tree hole to avoid it, but also because the surrounding atmosphere began to be wrong.
Before the Dark Eater could find a place to hide, a scarlet afterimage flashed by, which made the Dark Eater's breath fully open, and black tentacles poured out of his body. As a result, half a minute later, the enemy seemed to have disappeared.
But soon, the Dark Eater realized that something was wrong. It came here before, so the environment of the earth was special, and there would be no shadows on the ground. At this moment, it had a scarlet shadow.
The black tentacles of the Dark Eater pierced into the scarlet shadow, and the next second, it suffered a sharp pain all over its body, and holes appeared out of thin air in the shoulders, arms, etc., with black blood dripping from it.
In such a situation, the Dark Eaters are both angry and have nothing to do. If it is a head-to-head confrontation, it is not afraid of a strong enemy, but this kind of enemy with strange abilities makes the Dark Eaters very annoyed.
Su Xiao observed for a moment, because there is too little information at present, he really does not know what this scarlet shadow is, and this thing is not a living creature, and it is not even a hostile target, so it cannot be detected with detection equipment. the ability to exist.
Su Xiao continued to walk towards the town. He had a little understanding of this place. Compared with the scarlet castle where scarlet was spread everywhere, there was more scarlet power here. The strange existence is absorbed, and not much is dispersed in the environment.
As he approached the town, Su Xiao vaguely heard laughter coming from the town. This laughter was no different from when he passed by the town of crazy laughter outside. As he got closer, he was sure that this was the town of crazy laughter.
Compared with the illusory and weird Crazy Laughter Town outside, the Crazy Laughter Town here is a bit more solid, which makes people wonder if the Crazy Laughter Town in the wet salt area outside is the illusion projected by this Crazy Laughter Town. After entering the town of crazy laughter, no one can come out, because at night, a certain feature of the town of crazy laughter will be activated, and the intruder will be sent to this real town of crazy laughter.
The closer you get to the town in front of you, the clearer all kinds of laughter, but when you are tens of meters away from the town, all kinds of laughter stop abruptly, and the surrounding becomes quiet.
There are hundreds of buildings in the town in front, most of them are two- or three-story structures, and there is a street paved with gravel in the middle. Walking on the street, Su Xiao found that many of the buildings on both sides were lit up. Candlelight, there are various laughter inside.
But there are exceptions. In some windows with pale golden candles, there is no wild laughter. Su Xiao stopped in front of one of these buildings, raised his hand and knocked on the door. just put out the candle.
dong dong dong.
Su Xiao knocked on the door again, the breathing of the person inside the door was suddenly heavy and violent, deliberately lowered, and came from the door with a somewhat dull middle-aged male voice: "Go away! There is nothing you want here. !"
"..."
Su Xiao didn't say a word. Just as he was about to turn around and go deeper into the town, the middle-aged man inside whispered, "Put away the greed in your heart, and you might be able to leave here."
After saying this, the man in the door was completely silent, and he could vaguely hear that he seemed to be suppressing his wild laughter, which was about to lose his mind.
Continuing to go deep into the town, Su Xiao heard Boubowang's cry in the narrow alley on the side, and he looked at the sound, and both Boubowang and Baja were hiding in the narrow alley.
Came to the narrow alley, and after inquiring, learned that the reason why Boubo Wang and Baja were hiding here was the sin Yass who had just been with them, and was suddenly swallowed up by a large mouth of blood. Signs, and seems extremely fast.
"Suddenly swallowed by a huge mouth? That tentacle man's reaction speed is not fast enough, if it were me..."
The Dark Eater had just finished speaking when he found that Baja pointed his wings at its scarlet shadow.
"Before Sin Yas was swallowed, he was also entangled by this thing."
Hearing this, the Dark Eater's eyes turned serious, and he asked, "How did the tentacle man be..."
puff~
A large mouth of blood appeared, which was too fast. When he saw this clearly, the Dark Eater had already been swallowed.
Su Xiao formed a slashing mark around Boubowang and Baja to avoid accidental injury, and at the same time pressed the handle of the knife with one hand.
'Extreme Blade...'
Before the Extreme Blade World could be used, the ferocious giant mouth that appeared had dissipated, as if it had never appeared before, and the scarlet shadow on the ground also disappeared.
Su Xiao checked the team information and found that both the sinner and the dark eater are in normal state, which means that it is not dangerous to be swallowed by the huge mouth. At least the process is not very dangerous. Where did these two guys go? , is unknown.
The style of the 'good teammates' team is that everyone completes their own responsibility. The safety during this period is entirely dependent on personal ability, so Su Xiao took Boubo Wang and Baja out of the alley and arrived at the innermost side of the town. , the only building with the door open.
As soon as he entered the building, an old man wearing a black robe and leaning on a cane came towards him.
"Young man, are you here to find those treasures?"
The old man, the old town mayor here, had a kind smile on his face, and the wrinkles on his face made him look more kind.
"right."
"Come with me."
The old town mayor walked to the inside of the building, and when he reached a wall, he tapped the wall with his crutches, and a rock secret door rose up, revealing steps leading down to the ground.
Walking down the steps for at least a few minutes, the steps did not come to the end. The silver-gray metal door that was facing open blocked the way. The old town mayor twisted the lock plate on the door. After a crisp click, the metal door responded. on.
The scene I entered is a ruined hall. The four walls of the hall have signs of melting candles. In the center of the ruined hall, there is a throne. On the throne sits a skeleton with an iron black head on top of it. Crown, with more than a dozen "primitive fragments" inlaid on the crown.
Not only that, but around the throne and the skeleton, there are soul crystals, eternal weapons, soul coins, etc., especially the soul coins, which are piled up a full layer and submerged to the knee of the skeleton.
Four tall skeleton guards are guarding the sides and back of the throne, but these guards have no breath. This place is obviously underground, but the ceiling reflects a faint light, illuminating this place.
Su Xiao looked at the old mayor who was still on the side~EbookFREE.me~ The other party has disappeared, but what makes people puzzling is that these treasures in front of them are genuine, they are indeed the treasures of the monarch, but those who come here The process is really too simple, so simple that it makes people feel uneasy.
After a moment of contemplation, Su Xiao wrapped the crystal layer in his hand, picked up a soul coin, and the prompt appeared immediately.
[Warning: You are trying to obtain the cursed soul treasure, if you choose to obtain this soul coin, you will accumulate 1 soul curse. 】
[Each point of strength of the soul curse requires 1 point of soul strength to counteract this effect. When the accumulated soul curse strength exceeds its own soul strength, the soul curse will take effect, causing the soul to gradually dry up. 】
It is just a soul coin, with this level of soul curse effect. If you are greedy to take the eternal weapon not far away, the soul curse will take effect immediately. With Su Xiao's 860 soul strength, it can only resist. This soul curse has only been for a few hours, and it is conceivable how strong this soul curse is.
As long as you enter the area where the monarch's treasure is located, it is not difficult to find these treasures. The difficulty is how to take these treasures away. Looking at the large number of treasures in front, Su Xiao opens the team channel to contact Caesar.
