Extremely dark castle, in a guest room in the outer building area.

The scarlet ghost slowly floated out of the door. As for why it happened, it was not only because of Su Xiao's 860-point soul strength, but also the double soul-killing effect of sword skills + soul-killing and soul-core.

Although Su Xiao's soul strength is not reflected by the active ability of the soul system, the damage he causes to ghosts and resentful enemies will be increased by about 500% to 100%. Coupled with the double soul-killing effect, he can avoid being killed by him in seconds.

The ghost-type enemies dropped are definitely the best at the same level.

Under Su Xiao's gaze, the scarlet ghost retreated. Seeing this, Su Xiao sat down on the bed and pointed to the front. The scarlet ghost opposite him knew that he was afraid, which meant that he had certain wisdom and was a good guide.

Seeing Su Xiao's gesture, the scarlet ghost hesitated and floated a few meters in front of Su Xiao. It wasn't that it didn't want to move forward, but that Su Xiao's blood energy was simply its nemesis, like pouring red on the snow.

Like molten iron.

Su Xiao stared at the scarlet ghost opposite. The scarlet ghost suddenly shuddered. It was rare to see ghosts frightened like this.

Yes, the current situation is so wonderful. The scarlet ghost is obviously a ghost, but it is extremely scared now, not only because the person opposite is a sword master, but because the other person is looking at it with a smile, as if he has restrained himself from tasting it.

It tastes like the soul, so I took out a piece of soul crystal and started eating it.

"You can understand what I'm saying."

Su Xiao threw the last piece of soul crystal into his mouth and chewed it slowly. After some "friendly and gentle" negotiations, the scarlet ghost finally spoke, and he spoke an older void language.

After listening to Scarlet Ghost's narration, Su Xiao roughly knew what was going on. First of all, the origin of the Dark Castle. This was a very large mansion. The original owner of the mansion was called the Dark Blood City Lord. He was the former owner of the Black Iron City.

’s first city lord.

It is worth mentioning that although the Black Iron City was founded by a machine manufacturer, this being was not interested in being the city lord. The successive city lords of the Black Iron City were all elected by the Steam Guild, plus those from the exchange and explorer institutions.

support.

After the Dark Blood City Lord resigned as City Lord, he came back to inherit his family's mansion in the Wet Salt Area, which is now the Dark Castle. Originally, this place was not like this. It was a safe area with multiple shelters and many adventures.

Travelers and scavengers will come to the outer fort area here for supplies, rest, etc.

The Dark Blood City Lord who lives here has always had an ideal, which is to allow safe areas like Black Iron City to further return to normal. Since it is an extreme environment caused by only the power of the elements remaining, then open the hole of the abyss and continuously release it.

The power of the abyss allows the abyss and the elements to reach a balance in this area. In this way, the area where Black Iron City is located can return to the normal world?

Adhering to this idea, the Lord of Dark Blood City conducted research and subsequent practice, but he ignored a key issue. Due to the extreme elemental environment of the Everlight World, opening the spell in the Abyss Hole that can be used by the outside world, after arriving in this world,

Can no longer be used normally.

As a result, although the Dark Blood City Lord successfully opened a hole, what came out of it was not the power of the abyss, but a scarlet energy with strong distortion.

Seeing this situation, the Dark Blood City Lord tried his best to protect his wife, and his wife activated the mansion's defense techniques with all her strength, which gave the entire surrounding town a chance to escape.

In the past, this defensive technique was used to resist foreign enemies. Now it has become a huge sealed container, shrouding the mansion inside. This prevented the scarlet from spreading. After that, the town centered on it naturally declined. People living here

people also moved to Black Iron City.

When the hole closed on its own, scarlet almost filled the entire mansion, and what followed was distortion. The machine builder who learned about this brought people here to transform the mansion into a darkness that would not be eroded by scarlet.

sealed in it.

The Dark Blood City Lord died due to being overly corroded by scarlet. Although the city lord's wife survived, her temperament changed drastically due to being corroded by scarlet, and she became eager for the fresh vitality of living creatures. All creatures that strayed into this place will be caught by the scarlet guards.

Get up, offer it to the lady, and be devoured by the lady.

Another point is that during the period of being corroded by scarlet, only those with sufficient strength can physically resist the corroded scarlet, resulting in subsequent distortions.

As for the servants in the mansion, because they were not strong enough, their bodies were corroded by scarlet into debris, leaving only their scarlet-infected souls, which is what the scarlet ghost looks like at this time. In other words, it is one of the strongest in the entire castle area.

Weak monster.

This place is surrounded by high walls. After passing through the central courtyard, you can reach the bedroom where the city lord's wife is. Only after passing through the bedroom and reaching the city lord's study can you get a glimpse of the real secrets of this place and obtain the secret treasure that the city lord owned back then.

Su Xiao is not very interested in the secrets of this place, but he is very interested in the secret treasure of the city lord, especially since his three skills are now more expensive than before.

Normally, after the three skills exceed Lv. 80, it will consume 0 soul crystals to increase the abilities of the three skills by one level. However, because the core skill sword master has the bonus of the ultimate blade ability, the consumption will be reduced from

0, rising to 5 soul crystals.

In this way, to upgrade the three skill abilities from Lv.80 to Lv.90, a total of 50 soul crystals and more than 10,000 soul coins are required. Under such circumstances, Su Xiao is of course more interested in the city lord's secret treasure.

.

After Su Xiao understood the general situation here, he took out a few bottles of potion, and under the confused gaze of the Scarlet Ghost, he completed the preparation of the potion, and then poured the translucent potion on the Scarlet Ghost.

With a hiss, the scarlet ghost let out a scream, and then some of the scarlet color on its body quickly faded away, gradually becoming a normal soul body. Miraculously, the clothes on her body gradually took on the appearance of a maid, as if she had returned to her former self.

appearance.

The soul maid gradually floated up and stopped one meter above the ground. Her confused eyes seemed to have no memory of what had happened before. She asked timidly: "My lord, did you save me?"

.”

This scene is really like recruiting a maid by chance. If you are a passionate young man like the son of the world, you really can't resist this maid's attack, especially when you transform from a scarlet ghost to a harmless soul body, then

The maid's casual clothes are so natural. For those who don't know, they think this is a baptism, and the whole soul has been transformed into friendliness.

Su Xiao is a little interested in people with special acting skills, because good enough acting skills can sometimes play a big role, so he sees through the performance of Soul Maid without saying anything.

Perhaps because she felt in her heart that she had been seen through, the Soul Maid did not follow the train of thought and floated there quietly, passively waiting for the situation to change.

"How to get to the place directly underneath this building."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the soul maid thought distressedly for a while. Although she got rid of the scarlet erosion, her memory was inevitably damaged. After a while, she finally recalled clearly and said: "Sir, you can only go out or continue to go deeper.

, the underground palace below is the entrance to the detour, why do you want to go there?"

After hearing this, Su Xiao looked directly into the soul maid's eyes. Although the other party no longer has 'scarlet contact lenses', her eyes will reveal a richer soul color. If she lies, she will think more, which will lead to the soul in the other party's eyes.

The color is darker.

Su Xiao confirmed one thing, that is, Bubu Wang, Baha, and Sias did not enter the Dark Castle, but were blocked in the maze below. As for why he was able to come in, this may be related to what he had done before.

The magic-destroying treasure house has something to do with the breaking of the dark seal.

In other words, compared to other explorers who entered the Dark Castle, Su Xiao could enter here directly without having to break through the underground maze first.

Su Xiao walked out of the guest room. A musty smell of wood rotting due to moisture spread in the corridor. Since the environment was completely dark, he turned on the "hunting vision". Although the world in the hunting vision has no color, it can still

Ignore the dark energy dispersed here.

Walking along the corridor, Su Xiao passed by a mural and took a look. It was a portrait of an old man who looked like a butler.

Su Xiao withdrew his gaze and continued to move forward. At this moment, he suddenly felt that everything around him slowed down. The elderly housekeeper in the mural next to him turned into a humanoid dark creature and rushed out of the mural, with sharp claws and a mouth full of jagged edges.

The uneven fangs all attacked him.

Suddenly, all these perceptions came to an abrupt end, and the translucent enemy turned into nothing and shattered. This triggered the Grandmaster's induction.

"Intelligence attribute 00 point attribute bonus·Grandmaster induction: When an attack comes, you have a 5% chance to sense the direction and trajectory of the attack 0.5 seconds in advance."

It's not that Su Xiao is lucky, but that the probability of triggering has nothing to do with luck. This is a test of hard power. The stronger your perception, the greater the probability of triggering.

The humanoid dark creature detached part of the mural next to it, and at a weird and extremely fast speed, it suddenly lowered its body and bit Su Xiao. The attack was so sudden that even an extremely powerful person who was caught off guard and was attacked by a vital part would still be hit.

Heavy damage.

Su Xiao took a step back almost at the same time, and smoothly drew his sword to strike. As a result, what was originally a surprise attack by the dark creature in the mural became its active execution.

Zheng!

The dark creature was chopped into two pieces. After the upper half hit the ground, the lower half also separated from the mural. The two dark creatures struggled painfully on the ground and stopped moving after a moment. From the expression full of surprise and unwillingness, it can be seen that

Even to the day of his death, he could not figure out how Su Xiao could evade its attack in sync with this dark creature.

[You have killed the dark creature and the human painting attached to the wall.]

【You get a precipitated glass.】

[You gain 160 points of world reputation.]

…

Due to the way the Void Tree notarizes this world, there is no soul coin in the kill reward, but world reputation.

Calculated in terms of wave SS units, killing an extremely powerful wave SS can gain about 10,000 to 70,000 world reputation points. However, if the strength is between the strongest and the most powerful, killing a boss can gain 80,000 world reputation points.

For example, Su Xiao's previous elimination of 1/0 of the deep sea evil spirits fell into this category, and killing the most powerful large wave of SS can earn him 700,000 to ???0000 points of world reputation.

Because the ban of this century has been opened, it is no longer possible to obtain kill rewards above the extremely powerful level. However, if you can kill enemies with such strength as the Lord of Eternal Darkness and the Ancestor, even if their combat power is suppressed,

When you reach the maximum level, you can gain around 500,000 world reputation.

After walking through the corridor and turning the corner, an elevator appeared. Su Xiao walked up the elevator. Just when she was about to press the start switch, she noticed a stream of dark golden light particles emerging and flying upwards. She saw this scene

, he didn't react at first, but then he thought that this was the effect of the [Greed Orb].

This dark golden light particle floated above the elevator, and then dissipated. Su Xiao went from the access door to the top of the elevator, and saw a dry corpse hanging on the top bolt. Judging from the remaining clothing, it should be

It was the eldest lady of this castle, or a distinguished guest, who hurriedly slipped and fell from the upper elevator when the scarlet spread, and died from the penetrating injury of this bolt.

Su Xiao picked up a pendant with a partially torn cord from the dead body's hand. It could be seen that after being fatally injured, the owner of the pendant intended to tear off the pendant and hold it in his hand to achieve better results.

Quick to use.

Su Xiao's hand covering the crystal layer exerted a little force and wrapped it around the pendant. The hardened scarlet crystal shattered, revealing the most valuable ruby ​​part.

[You receive the blessing of life (immortality level·accessory).]

"Blessing of life·Equipment effect: Rescue (active), immediately consumes 0% of the maximum mana, thereby activating a healing effect, healing 1.5% of the current maximum health (under extremely strong comprehensive strength, it can heal 45% to 50% of the health
