But now the problem has arisen, what should the Seventh Prince do? When Lin Yi and Su Xiao were exchanging items, from the Seventh Prince's perspective, the two of them were actually resting. You should know that the Seventh Prince is not a contractor, so he naturally cannot exchange [Holy Protection] in the store. "What do you mean?" Su Xiao glanced at the Seventh Prince who was concentrating on wiping the long sword, and then turned to look at Lin Yi. "Let's go over and take a look first." Lin Yi said after a little thought. At present, the Seventh Prince is the most powerful among the three. Only with the Seventh Prince can the two of them continue to explore the Xia Temple. When they came to the entrance of the third floor, Lin Yi found that a faint black fog blocked the sight of several people. These thick fogs seemed to be bound by some kind of power. Even if there was no substantial obstruction between the second and third floors, these black fogs could not break through the boundary and spread from the third floor to the second floor. Lin Yi and Su Xiao looked at each other, and then Su Xiao took the lead in walking into the black fog. [Hint: The hunter has entered the Xia Temple (third floor). 】
【The Temple of Xia (second floor) is an extremely high-risk area, and the rewards such as treasure chests and the source of the world are increased by 50%. 】 【Because the Temple of Xia (third floor) is filled with the fog of the dead, it will consume 5% of the hunter's health every minute. This damage is real damage and cannot be avoided. Because the hunter holds the "holy blessing", the fog of the dead in this area cannot cause damage to the hunter. 】 Entering the Temple of Xia (third floor), Su Xiao found that Paradise Coins were no longer consumed here, and confirmed that it was replaced by health points. If ordinary contractors did not exchange [holy protection] on the first floor, they must leave this place within 20 minutes. But are Lin Yi and Su Xiao ordinary contractors? Hearing that this layer of black fog only reduces 5% of the health points every minute, Lin Yi felt that he was really losing money in exchange for [holy blessing]. Now that he has the information sent back by Su Xiao, Lin Yi has connected Bubuwang, Am and the Seventh Prince with the chain of life. There is no way. The [Holy Blessing] that Su Xiao exchanged can only be used by himself, and the servants are not included. They need to be exchanged separately. Unfortunately, this kind of item can only be exchanged once in the store, even if Su Xiao wants to exchange more, there is no condition. After confirming that the third layer does not consume Paradise Coins, Lin Yi converted the remaining few [Ancient Dead Essence] into the Source of the World. [The hunter uses ‘Ancient Dead Essence’ × 5, and now has 15% of the Source of the World, and now has a total of of the Source of the World. ] After stepping into the black fog, the Seventh Prince subconsciously held the sword tightly in his hand. The three layers of black fog are eroding the body of the Seventh Prince every moment. This weird feeling is really uncomfortable for the Seventh Prince. It's as if someone is constantly stuffing ice cubes into his body, and the bone-chilling cold penetrates from the skin to the bone marrow, making him shudder. If it weren't for Lin Yi's life chain continuing to work, it would probably not take long for the Seventh Prince to be eroded by this terrifying black fog into a corpse without temperature. Am and Bubuwang didn't react much to this. Am was just too stupid. Apart from eating, almost nothing could attract his attention. In his simple mind, perhaps only food was the most important thing. As for the erosion brought by the surrounding black fog, it could not stir up a wave in his heart. Bubuwang said that he could accept this kind of coldness. After all, Bubuwang's original form was Erha, and the most suitable weather was ice and snow. Bubuwang was more adapted to this kind of icy feeling. After the group entered the third floor of the Xia Temple, Lin Yi found that the entire third floor of the Xia Temple was floating with a thin layer of black fog.
In this area, Lin Yi did not see even a single guard. The entire third floor seemed to be a forgotten empty city, and the silence made people feel uneasy. The three of them walked along the corridor and found that there were a large number of murals engraved on the corridor. These murals vividly depicted how a dead spirit named Xia Emperor conquered the entire Xia continent with thunder in just fifty years. Neither Lin Yi nor Su Xiao had ever heard of this name in the outside world. Judging from the current situation, both humans and the Undead seem to be deliberately erasing this history. For humans, being ruled by the Undead is definitely not a glorious thing. So after the founding of the Saint Sodin Empire, the rulers decisively destroyed all the historical materials of the Shia Dynasty. The royal family began to continuously revise history five hundred years ago. After a long time, except for the royal family, which still retains some information about the Shia Dynasty, there is no historical record of the Shia Dynasty left in the folk. As for why the Undead also erased this history, the reason is actually very simple. When the Undead were at their most prosperous, they were killed by the Shadow of Destruction one by one. That tragic massacre still makes the Undead feel scared. In order to avoid the terrifying existence of the Shadow of Destruction again, the sages among the Undead decided to seal up all the things of the Shia Dynasty. Once someone studies these things again, it is very likely that the Shadow of Destruction will be summoned back to this world, which will undoubtedly be a catastrophe for the Undead. As for why these Undeads would attack the Wall of God so frantically, the answer is not complicated. The Kingdom of Saint Sodin built the palace directly on top of the Temple of Xia, which is equivalent to someone building a house on your ancestral grave. No matter who encounters this situation, they will be anxious, which is the fundamental reason why the Undead Clan keeps attacking the Wall of God. Lin Yi and the other two walked along the corridor and soon came to a fork in the road. "Left or right?" Su Xiao frowned slightly, looking back and forth between the two passages. "It's okay, let fate decide." Lin Yi said as he took out a gold coin from his pocket. He held the gold coin in his palm and said solemnly: "The front is on the left, the back is on the right, and if it's in the middle, just retreat directly." Su Xiao didn't feel strange when he heard Lin Yi's words. You know, Lin Yi's luck value has exceeded 10, and he doesn't know the specific value. But Su Xiao understands one thing, with such a high luck value, Lin Yi can already peek into his own destiny through some special things. If the front is really extremely dangerous, then no matter how Lin Yi tosses, the coin will only stand on the ground. This was fate warning Lin Yi not to move forward. Lin Yi placed the coin on the thumb of his right hand, and after slightly accumulating strength, he bounced it up. The coin flew into the air, spinning rapidly in the air. After spinning hundreds of times, it fell straight to the ground with a crisp sound. It rolled twice on the ground, then slowly stopped, revealing a clear human head pattern. In the Kingdom of Saint Sodin, the front of the gold coin was printed with a lifelike human head, which was a commemoration of a great man; the back was printed with a lion symbolizing the majesty of the royal family. "Front, go to the left." Lin Yi looked at the coin on the ground and said calmly. Since fate had made a choice for them, Lin Yi motioned for several people to walk towards the passage on the left.
After entering the corridor on the left, Lin Yi and Su Xiao both found that something was wrong. The buildings here did not look like ordinary rooms, but more like cages for prisoners. The iron railings were rusty and exuded an old and decayed atmosphere. Surprisingly, most of these cages only have some dead bones, which look particularly eerie and terrifying under the cover of black fog. "Dead Soul Language: Baba Bian? Beli Kakado. (Human? How come you are here.)" Just when the three thought that all the cells here were empty, a sudden voice suddenly sounded in their ears. Following the direction of the voice, several people walked forward and finally found that there was still a living person in the black fog. The other party's body looked very thin, as if a breeze could blow him down. The hair was sparse and messy, and the color was dull and lifeless, like withered weeds, drooping lifelessly on the shoulders. He was wearing a tattered prisoner uniform, ragged, covered with stains and traces of wear. But his skin was very pale, revealing an unhealthy gray, which was caused by not being exposed to the sun for too long. "Undead Lord?" When the seventh prince saw the characteristics of the other party's body, a trace of shock instantly appeared in his eyes. Then, he quickly picked up the long sword in his hand, and a hint of vigilance appeared on his face. There is a clear difference between the dead monarch and the ordinary dead clan. The dead monarch is more inclined to the human form, but a part of the body will begin to become distorted. The fingers of the man in front of him are very slender, but they begin to bend at the knuckles, which is a very typical bone structure of the dead clan. This unique feature allowed the seventh prince to instantly determine the identity of the other party. "Oh? You can recognize it." The people in the cell seemed to understand human language. After the seventh prince said that, the other party slowly raised his head, and the light green eyes were like two cold ghost fires, quietly looking at the three people. "It seems that there should be many dead monarchs in the outside world now. Don't deny it, I smell the breath of other dead monarchs on you. Those crazy alchemists on the second floor actually succeeded." The other party moved his nose slightly, and then couldn't help laughing, and the laughter seemed particularly abrupt in this silent space. "A soldier transformed by mixing human and undead blood? No wonder there are so many undead monarchs in the outside world. He catalyzes the undead blood through human bodies? What a madman." "Who are you?" After hearing the other party's words, the seventh prince didn't know how many times he said "Fuck" in his heart. The other party's perception was too sharp. Just by observing the seventh prince, he got a lot of information that was blocked by the royal family from the seventh prince. "My name? I forgot it myself. After the Shadow of Destruction came to this world, I, the culprit, did not die. Instead, I was sealed and suppressed here by him. You can just call me Xing." As he said, the other party slowly raised his arm. On his arm, there was a seal made of blue steel shadow. After seeing this seal, Su Xiao's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then a trace of light blue light appeared in his eyes. Seeing Su Xiao's eyes, the smile on Xing's face froze instantly. He rolled down his sleeves and spat fiercely on the ground. "Why are you butchers here again? If I remember correctly, those guys on the second floor are all dead. You can go away and don't disturb my sleep." Xing was very unhappy with Su Xiao. He was like Sun Wukong, who was trapped under the Five Elements Mountain. You know, Sun Wukong only needs to be imprisoned for 500 years to get out, but he doesn't know how many years he will be imprisoned. In this case, how could Xing have a good impression of the Shadow of Destruction.
"Do you want to leave here?" Su Xiao looked at Xing in the cage, and he suddenly felt that he might be able to trick this guy to work for the team. "What did you say?" Almost in an instant, Xing, who was originally lying on the floor, suddenly grabbed the cage and appeared in front of several people like lightning. His movements were so fast that everyone had no time to react. Bubu Wang was frightened by this sudden scene, and after whimpering twice, he quickly hid behind Su Xiao. The next second, some strong electric current came from the cage and repelled Xing. Xing looked at the dark marks on his palm and shook his hands twice without caring. This little damage was not worth mentioning to him. He stared at Su Xiao with eager eyes, waiting for his further explanation. "I said, I can let you out." Su Xiao took a look at the structure of the cage and found that the spells on it were very similar to those in the rooms on the second floor. Lin Yi's key should be able to open this cage. Su Xiao was eager to devour the seal on Xing's body, because it was all high-quality Qinggang Shadow power. If Su Xiao's Qinggang Shadow level was devoured, it would at least increase by one or two levels. After hearing Su Xiao's words, Xing kept walking back and forth in the cage, his steps were slightly hurried. His eyes were full of doubts and thoughts, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. A minute later, Xing stopped and looked at Su Xiao outside the cage. His eyes were full of vigilance, and he slowly said: "So, what's the price?" Xing didn't believe that someone like Su Xiao would be so kind to let him out. The bloody aura emanating from the other party was more terrifying than the Great Emperor Xia's Butcher of Life. In his opinion, if Su Xiao was a good person, then there would be no bad people in this world. "The price is that you need to temporarily become a member of the team here. You cannot refuse when you are needed. After leaving here, you will be free." Su Xiao said calmly, and a contract appeared in his hand. After seeing this contract, Lin Yi almost couldn't help laughing. Su Xiao divided this contract into five parts. Due to the special nature of the paper, Xing could only see the content of the first layer of the contract, and the content of the subsequent contracts was cleverly covered. But when signing the contract, as long as Xing pressed his fingerprint or signed his name, it would be equivalent to signing five contracts at one time. At that time, Xing would be completely under Su Xiao's control and let Su Xiao control him. Xing saw the contract in Su Xiao's hand and reached out through the cage to take the contract. The conditions on the contract were indeed very strict, and it was detailed that Xing could not harm the members of the team by any direct or indirect means, and at the same time, when any member of the team was hurt, Xing must help. In exchange, the team members will not attack Xing in the Xia Temple area, and will help Xing to remove the seal and leave the cage. The contract will last until they leave the Xia Temple. The conditions for violation were set by Su Xiao to be extremely strict. Once Xing violated the regulations and intentionally or unintentionally hurt the team members, 95% of Xing's attribute points will be deducted immediately.
It's not that Su Xiao doesn't want to set a more stringent price, but it also costs money to notarize the contract. After the consumption of the first and second floors of the Xia Temple, there are few Paradise Coins left in the pockets of the two. So Su Xiao set the price of deducting attribute points because it is relatively cheap. This kind of contract is not harsh, but it is precisely because of this seemingly extremely harsh contract that Xing is more willing to believe that Su Xiao is really going to release him. Otherwise, Su Xiao doesn't need to make such a complicated contract for himself, unless Su Xiao is full and has nothing to do. "Tell me, what do you want to do?" Xing frowned slightly, full of doubts. Being able to come here, most of the dangers of the Xia Temple should not pose a threat to the three members of the team, so why did Su Xiao protect them himself? "Emperor Xia, the butcher of living beings." Su Xiao stared at Xing and said word by word the ultimate goal of this trip. Hearing the four words of Emperor Xia, Xing finally understood the intentions of these people. This group of crazy guys actually wanted to kill the emperor! "Interesting, I agree." Xing's smile at this moment was a little twisted, and his twisted face revealed a kind of madness. At the beginning, Xing also admired Emperor Xia very much. As time passed, he only had endless hatred for Emperor Xia. If Emperor Xia had not ordered him to study how to quickly improve the combat power of the mage, he would not have violated the ban at all, thus causing the Shadow of Destruction to come to this world and turning himself into the prisoner he is now. During these years of long imprisonment, Xing has been almost crazy. He was going to seek revenge on Emperor Xia after he got out. Since Su Xiao gave him an excuse, he naturally would not refuse. After Xing pressed his handprint at the bottom of the contract, a Φ symbol appeared on the contract. At the same time, a strong binding force appeared on Xing's body. Once Xing intentionally causes harm to the team members in any way, this contract will take effect directly, deducting 95% of Xing's attributes. "The contract is signed, let me out." Xing moved his body and walked to the front of the cage. Lin Yi took out the key from his personal space. As soon as the black Rubik's Cube appeared, Xing's pupils shrank suddenly. Obviously, he recognized the origin of the key in Lin Yi's hand. "Boy, what is your relationship with Emperor Reed?" Looking at the black Rubik's Cube that kept spinning in front of the cage, Xing asked after a moment of silence. "It's a friend." Lin Yi replied calmly. "Friend." Hearing Lin Yi's answer, Xing didn't know what to say for a while. Reed actually has friends? When the Shia Dynasty was still in its heyday, Reed was the undisputed strongest man in the Shia Continent. Even the Great Emperor of the Shia Dynasty, the Butcher of Life, was not Reed's opponent. So Reed was also honored as the Emperor by the Shia Dynasty, which was a high respect for the strongest man. Back then, Reed was extremely arrogant and looked down on people. Whether it was human or undead, except for some particularly good-looking girls who could slightly arouse Reed's interest, the struggle between humans and undead would not arouse Reed's interest at all.
As a result, Lin Yi told Xing that he and Reed had become friends, which was really a bit beyond Xing's expectations. Xing's mind was surging with thoughts, and various speculations kept emerging. Just as Xing was in a brainstorm, the key in front of him finally turned to a suitable position. Finally, the key was tightly attached to the prison door. At the moment the key was attached, the mechanism on the cage began to turn slowly, and with a few crisp sounds of the chain turning, the prison door slowly opened. Looking at the half-open prison door, Xing trembled and left the place where he had been for who knows how many years. After stepping out of the prison door, Xing suddenly laughed up to the sky. The laughter was full of relief, madness and emotion. The few people did not urge him, just quietly waiting for Xing's mood to calm down. Soon, Xing adjusted his mentality. He came to Su Xiao and stretched out his sealed arm. This seal was placed on Xing by the Shadow of Destruction, and only the Shadow of Destruction can remove it. (End of this chapter)
