Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 1235: Chapter 50: Drawing Lots

Seeing the Reincarnation Paradise prompt, Su Xiao’s steps paused.

”Xiya Temple...”

Su Xiao mumbled. The continent was named Xiya Continent, and a place named Xiya Temple would never be simple.

Compared to the name Xiya Temple, Su Xiao felt the name Tomb of the Undead was more fitting. Not to mention anything else, just the stone corridor he was currently in had a very tomb-like atmosphere; describing the environment here in a few words couldn’t be more appropriate: dark, damp, gloomy, deathly silent.

So far, this place hasn’t given Su Xiao the feeling of a temple, but rather more like a tomb.

Xiya Temple is a hidden area in this original world. To put it bluntly, besides receiving special tasks, other ways to find it are extremely difficult.

Indeed, if Su Xiao hadn’t received the hidden side-quest, finding this place would be nearly impossible.

In this area, rewards such as treasure chests and World Source increase by 20%, but as a cost, Su Xiao needs to consume 600 Paradise coins every hour upon entering the outskirts of Xiya Temple.

Su Xiao currently has 199,000 Paradise coins. At 600 per hour, he can stay here for about 14 days.

Of course, Su Xiao can’t stay here for 14 days, as there are less than 4 days remaining for the task. He must find the Stone of Extinction within 4 days; if not, due to insufficient staying time, he might forcibly be teleported out of the original world.

Upon entering this original world, Su Xiao needs to accomplish three things. First is completing the main task to gain ’4 True Attribute Points + any skill level mastered upgrading by 1 Level authority’. Now the main task is completed.

Aside from the main task, Su Xiao has two more things to accomplish, one of which is entering the Relic of the Annihilation Law. According to known information, the Relic of the Annihilation Law is located within the territory of the Undead Clan.

As for the last thing, it’s the somewhat annoying Adventure group promotion assessment. Although Su Xiao has completed the main task, the adventure group promotion assessment task has yet to be triggered. According to Su Xiao’s guess, he might be using the wrong method.

Given the current situation, if Su Xiao can’t find the Stone of Extinction, his chances of accomplishing the latter two tasks are slim due to insufficient staying time.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao quickened his steps forward. He walked at the forefront, Bu Bu Wang followed closely, then Gos and Elisa Herbert, with A Mu bringing up the rear.

Looking at the current formation seems fine, but actually, it’s the formation before delving deep into Xiya Temple. When truly deep inside the tomb, Gos would definitely be at the forefront, as that’s a task meant for cannon fodder. Whether Gos agrees or not is irrelevant; Su Xiao has many ways to make him consent.

Su Xiao walked through the spooky corridor, which was about five meters wide and six to seven meters high; the surrounding red square stones were slightly moist, filling the corridor with a moldy smell.

Thud, thud, thud...

The sound of knocking came from upfront; as Su Xiao went deeper into the tomb, the knocking sound got closer. It sounded like someone was hammering something, very crisp.

”Woof～”

Bu Bu Wang behind Su Xiao whimpered; this idiot was obviously scared. It’s worth mentioning that Bu Bu Wang wasn’t afraid of monsters and strong enemies; the only thing it feared was ’ghosts.’

In Bu Bu Wang’s understanding, ghosts aren’t like spirits or vengeful spirits, but the ghosts it knows from horror movies; this idiot frequently watched horror movies, got scared, yet couldn’t help but keep watching.

Who knows why Bu Bu Wang is afraid of ghosts? Normally, ghosts aren’t something scary at all.

As for Su Xiao, he had killed countless people on the battlefield; if there were really ghosts, they would see the blood energy on him and be scared, running faster than rabbits. As for ghosts like Zhenzi appearing before him, Su Xiao would directly advance with a side kick, then tie the ghost to an alchemy experiment table to study its structure. Within half a month, the so-called ghost would become something people pity.

Even so, Bu Bu Wang is afraid of ghosts. At this moment, this idiot somehow found a Bagua Mirror hung around its neck, while biting a cross, truly combining Eastern and Western elements.

Bu Bu Wang was very anxious, while A Mu felt nothing, walking in the back and peering around.

The knocking sound ahead grew closer as Su Xiao’s steps slowed.

Thud, thud, thud...

Arriving here, the knocking sound was already very clear, no more than 100 meters away. Besides the knocking, a wave of heat also hit head-on, with the surroundings no longer damp.

Danger might appear ahead; Su Xiao glanced at Gos. Gos’s complexion changed slightly; he had already guessed something.

”Now someone needs to probe ahead.”

Su Xiao’s gaze swept over everyone, including Bu Bu Wang and A Mu, ’fairly.’

”I need to protect Her Royal Highness Princess Elisa.”

Gos already intended to refuse, knowing the danger of probing the way ahead. However, he worried more about Su Xiao threatening him through Elisa Herbert.

”Why don’t we draw lots.”

Su Xiao took out four slips of paper. Seeing only four slips, Gos felt even worse.

”Of course Elisa Herbert doesn’t need to draw lots; she just needs to activate the institutions along the way.”

Su Xiao would not let Elisa Herbert explore the way; that’s a waste of resources.

”This...”

Although Gos wanted to say something, given the current situation, what could he say? Clearly, compared to designating someone to explore, drawing lots is much fairer.

”These four slips have one with a red interior; whoever draws the red one will be the pathfinder, which is fair. Gos, you shouldn’t have any objections, right?”

Su Xiao had set the stage, just waiting for Gos to jump. As for Gos refusing the draw, no, he couldn’t refuse.

”No... objections.”

Gos gritted his teeth and agreed. Somehow he felt that whatever slip he picked, he would be the one probing the way.

”You first.”

Su Xiao’s hand was extended before him; Gos took one slip first but didn’t immediately open it, wary that all four slips might have a red interior; opening one now would mean directly becoming the pathfinder.

Contrary to Gos’s guess, Bu Bu Wang used its agile two front paws to open the slip; it was white inside, and A Mu, because of his thick fingers, had Su Xiao assist in opening it – also white inside.

”So who will be the pathfinder between us two.”

Su Xiao’s fingers were clamped around a slip; Gos tightly gripped his slip in his hand.

Seeing Gos’s tense expression, Su Xiao flipped his fingers, revealing the white interior of his slip.

”This can’t be.”

Gos quickly opened the slip in his hand, glaringly red inside, seemingly heralding danger and death.

”You guys...”

Gos was at a loss for words. He was the last to open a slip and witnessed the entire opening process of the other three slips.
