Chapter 30: The Hidden Strongman

Most of the demon beasts went out to hunt, and the base camp was guarded by Su Xiao plus 25 elite demon beasts.

Now Su Xiao has nothing to do, he simply studies knife skills.

The forest breeze is gentle, a few green leaves float to the vicinity of the wooden shed, because of the biological energy emanating from the insect nest, a large piece of emerald green branches and leaves have been born on the roof of the wooden shed, which is very natural.

Su Xiao took out a wooden plaque from the storage space, the appearance of this wooden plaque was old, and a few fine cracks could be seen on it, and the whole was yellow-brown.

'The greedy will fall into eternal silence'

In addition to carving this string of boys on the wooden plaque, there is nothing special, this wooden plaque was exchanged for a few bottles of wine and an old saint Xiu when Su Xiao was in the Dead Silent City, and the other party also used a knife, and the knife skills were far stronger than Su Xiao.

Su Xiao had tried many ways before, but he couldn't spy on the secret of this wooden card, but as a fellow sword practitioner, Su Xiao could feel that there was something hidden in it.

"The greedy one? Will it fall into eternal silence? You can't make it clear and make these specious things. ”

Su Xiao muttered and continued his research.

After studying for a few hours, Su Xiao slashed this broken wood with a few knives, but this thing is a legendary quality, and it would be a pity to cut it.

Su Xiao's thumb stroked the wooden card, and when he touched the crack in the upper corner of the diagonal corner, the crack became a little larger, if it weren't for Su Xiao's perception being sharp enough, he wouldn't have been able to detect this at all.

The thumb exerts force, there is a crisp click, and the front of the wooden sign is full of cracks, which are not broken, these cracks divide the ten words "greedy people will fall into eternal silence" into hundreds of pieces, and they can also move each other with the help of cracks, but it is very cumbersome.

Soon, Su Xiao put together a completely unreadable text.

'Greed will die forever for the greedy. ’

A strange combination appeared, Su Xiao felt that this was not right, and began to change the order in turn, and finally spliced it into.

He who falls into eternal silence will be greedy. ’

This content is simply describing the old saint cultivator at the beginning, the other party fell into the city of death and was assimilated into a part of it, so he was willing to exchange his life's enlightenment for a few bottles of bad wine that he once disdained to look at, how ironic.

Smack, smack......

One by one, the boys shattered, and a groove of less than ten centimeters wide appeared in the center of the wooden card, and an extremely cumbersome pattern was carved in the groove.

Su Xiao's thumb pressed up, nothing changed, he tried to attach his spiritual power to his thumb, and the next moment, his eyes fell into darkness.

The azure light appeared, and Su Xiao felt a suction, and when the light returned to his eyes, he was standing on a piece of darkness.

It is a space of about 100 square meters, surrounded by gray smoke that forms a wall that gradually closes upwards and finally closes at the top.

At Su Xiao's feet, it was hard darkness, I can't say what kind of material this is, there is wood grain, but it is harder than metal.

There were two knives stuck in the black ground, one of them was in front of Su Xiao, and the other was a few meters in front of him.

The long knife was about the same length as the Dragon Slayer, and blue flames rose from the end of the hilt.

Su Xiao looked at his hands, and without careful perception, he judged that he was a conscious body.

The surroundings were empty, and the light in this space was soft, not dark.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao held the knife in front of him, and when he held this knife, he knew the name of this knife, 'Devouring Blue'.

As Su Xiao grasped the handle of the knife, behind the knife a few meters away from him, a figure gradually appeared, it was the old saint cultivator who had all his hair falling out, had no eyebrows and beards, and was wearing loose gray-green clothes.

Old Shengxiu's figure was thin and thin, and his collarbones were prominent, but his aura changed after he held the long knife with blue flames rising from the hilt.

"Greedy, man."

Old Shengxiu spoke, he didn't seem to be aware of himself, but was just following some residual thoughts.

The current situation is already obvious, that is, the consciousness body has been slaughtered, and the momentum of the other party does not look like it is about to negotiate.

Su Xiao was just about to use the Dragon Shadow Flash ability to close the distance, and he suddenly found that here, he could only use the sword technique, and other abilities were sealed by this space, not completely unusable, if there was an invasion of foreign energy, he would be expelled here.

Bite!

The sparks splashed, and a long knife had slashed in front of Su Xiao, and the two knives were in each other's arms, and the crisp sound was agitated.

'Blade Knife Time!' ’

The long knife in Su Xiao's hand made a mistake, and the tip of the knife pierced into the ground.

Bang.

Lao Shengxiu stepped on Su Xiao's hilt with one foot, and although the blade Dao Dao Knife Shi was successfully used, Lao Shengxiu had already jumped more than ten meters away.

Su Xiao leaned forward and rushed forward, and as soon as the old saint cultivator on the opposite side landed, a long knife had appeared in front of his neck.

When there was a loud bang, the handle of the knife in Lao Shengxiu's hand struck Su Xiao's blade, and Su Xiao's slashing slowed down.

Ding, ding, ding......

After a stormy slash, Su Xiao and Old Saint Xiu jumped away at the same time.

The next moment, Su Xiao felt a tingling pain coming from the back of his heart.

Poof!

The long knife pierced through Su Xiao's chest, and the old saint cultivator stood behind Su Xiao, and this knife pierced directly through the heart.

"You're not greedy enough......"

Old Shengxiu's voice became farther and farther away, and Su Xiao felt a blur of spirit, 'He's dead'.

Su Xiao's eyes opened suddenly, he was still sitting in the wooden shed, the forest not far away was rustling, 25 elite demon beasts were guarding near him, and Thornra poked his head out of the hive and looked over this side suspiciously.

"12 seconds ......"

Su Xiao looked at the wooden card in his hand, it was only 12 seconds, he was defeated, and even, he didn't know how Lao Shengxiu got behind him, not spatial ability, not by speed, just like that, which was both weird and common-sense.

And the 'death' just now had some impact on Su Xiao, he felt a little mentally tired, just like he hadn't slept for two or three days after a fight with a strong enemy, but fortunately, his own consciousness and soul were not damaged.

Su Xiao glanced at the wooden card in his hand, there is no doubt that this is a good thing.

That old saint cultivator, relying on sword skills alone, has no other abilities, and his combat power has a sixth-order, and being able to fight with this kind of sword skill powerhouse is of great benefit to the cultivation of sword skills.

……

Su Xiao suddenly discovered that he had a wrong understanding of the [Greed Chapter] before, this was not something created by the old saint cultivator at all, and the other party also obtained this thing through some means, and the old saint cultivator was assimilated by the Dead Silent City, and the [Greed Chapter] was also assimilated.

The reason why the [Chapter of Greed] was judged to be [Divine Spirit Wood] was because the wooden characters that were broken before were Divine Spirit Wood, and the old saint was covering up the value of [Chapter of Greed].

With the situation of the old saint at that time, the value of the [Greedy Chapter] was really not as good as two bottles of bad wine, he was too strong, so strong that the Dead Silent City focused on him.

Su Xiao was wearing the Black King suit, and the power of silence was his weapon, so he inadvertently absorbed the power of silence in the [Chapter of Greed] into the metal armguard.

Now I realize that the phrase 'the greedy will fall into eternal silence' has a different meaning.

Su Xiao didn't know what he could get by challenging the ten soul images in the [Greedy Chapter], the problem at the moment was that he couldn't even beat the first one, the opponent's sword master ability was likely to be above Lv.40, if it weren't for the other transcendent abilities of the old saint cultivator who were too weak, the other party would never be assimilated by the Dead Silent City.

Moreover, when Su Xiao fought with the Black King, he noticed one thing, the Black King's shoulder armor and head armor were relatively fragile, which was also one of the keys to Su Xiao's ability to defeat the Black King.

If you guessed correctly, the old saint Xiu fought with the Black King, but for some reason, he actually gave up after cutting off the Black King's arm many times, perhaps knowing that it was not what he was pursuing.

When Su Xiao saw Lao Shengxiu, there were no obvious external injuries on the other party's body, they were all symptoms of assimilation.

What's even more concerning is that Old Saint Xiu has been staying in Dead City for many years, but he has not been completely assimilated, and if he is completely assimilated, he may be more difficult to deal with than the Black King.

As for why Lao Shengxiu's sword technique is so powerful, Su Xiao doesn't believe that it has nothing to do with the [Greedy Chapter], perhaps, the biggest gain from going deep into the Dead City is not only the Black King Suit, but also this [Greedy Chapter] that he has been ignoring, after all, this thing is too easy to obtain, and it is inevitable to be careless.
