Chapter 1447: Exchange
The Reincarnation Paradise contractors ' opinions were surprisingly similar, all of them not averse to giving the core to the Apocalyptic Paradise. As for the Holy Paradise, no one was eager to give the core to them, as they weren't that weak, unlike the Apocalyptic Paradise.
Since coming to this world, the Noble Nightmare plan had shown its weaknesses every now and then, for example, as it turned out, the battle of Roubaix could be completely avoided.
And as it turned out, they weren't supposed to be guarding the core of the world all this time, which meant that they didn't have to be afraid of being attacked by two other players at once.
However, the Noble Nightmare was neither a God nor a time traveler. He couldn't predict the course of the war. He could only take into account what was happening now and what would happen in the future.
If this war for peace was similar to the last one, then Noble Nightmare's actions would be quite logical.
The coordinates of the world were being formed now, and it would take as long as 10 days. During this time, no matter who captures the core, it won't really affect anything. Formally, some Paradise will own the core, but in reality this core will become someone else's only after 10 days.
It didn't really make sense to keep the world core with you until the last five hours, because it would only lead to the other two Paradises joining forces and destroying the arrogant opponent together.
----
Two hours later, in the Polar Forest.
Contractors moved quickly through the forest, scaring the birds they encountered along the way.
A little girl with a miner's lantern in her hand was standing on the high crown of a tree and admiring the view of the Polar Forest.
— It's so beautiful here. There must be a lot of ore to be mined here.
— According to exploration, there are at least thirty types of rare minerals below us, " an old man who was standing on a tree branch nearby replied.
— Three ... thirty? the girl's mouth opened slightly.
— More than thirty. We only managed to check forty-three percent of the mineral veins.
— Cool! the girl shouted and clenched her fists. She wasn't interested in stealing the world core. In fact, she wanted to stay as far away from the core as possible. Compared to mining, everything else was nothing in her eyes.
— Don't rejoice too soon, the madmen and charlatans are here, " the old man said and sighed.
— So what? We won't interfere with them, so neither will they... Um, what is it? The girl asked and pointed at the black shadow in the sky.
The team of miners immediately jumped to the top of the tree.
It was this group that found the core of the world earlier.
*Whew~*
Along with a whoosh, a metal object was flying towards them from somewhere far away.
*Boom!*
The ground along with parts of the trees scattered in all directions.
A hole with a diameter of five meters was formed in the ground.
*Knock, knock, knock...*
As if it were a real heart, waves began to spread out from this metal object in unison with the thud.
The group looked at each other and the first thing they thought about was what kind of treasure it was.
The girl jumped down from the tree first and quickly reached the pit.
Heat waves spread out in all directions. From somewhere, this metal thing flew here. The creature that threw this item here had extraordinary strength, otherwise this item wouldn't be red due to the extreme friction of the air.
The girl first of all checked this metal canned food for the presence of radiation, poison, and so on.
Finally, after confirming that everything was fine, she slowly walked over to the item and gently touched it.
As soon as she touched it, her pupils immediately narrowed.
— What's the matter? the old man asked.
He was the leader of this group.
— Core... core of the world.
— Uh-uh?
— …
— How did it end up here…
— I don't know either. It fell here from the sky.
This girl was about to cry. She really only wanted to mine minerals, and the core of the world wasn't on her list of desired mining.
— Let's go, now!" The old man immediately shouted when he noticed a man on a tree branch in the distance.
He was smiling at him.
— Slowly leaving, " the old man muttered and swallowed his saliva. Just by looking at each other, he could tell that this person was a contractor from the Reincarnation Paradise, and clearly one of the strongest.
A few people began to slowly retreat. From start to finish, they didn't even think about capturing the core of the world.
Su Xiao jumped down from the tree branch, quickly walked to the core and pulled the piece of iron out of the ground.
— I wonder what Bubtney is up to, " Su Xiao muttered and went back inside.
The trap that he set up earlier informed him of someone approaching, and when he saw that these guests were contractors from Apocalyptic Paradise, he immediately threw the world core to them, however, unfortunately, they decided not to take the core for themselves and immediately decided to go far away.
Ten minutes later, Su Xiao returned to the swamp.
Bubtni was lying by the water, basking in the sun, and Ermungand was nowhere to be seen.
— How are you? You were able to bite off some of his flesh?
— Woof~, " said Bubtney, shaking his head. In fact, even if he tried to bite off a piece of flesh, he wouldn't be able to get anything out, except for the pain in his teeth.
Ermungand really didn't have any ill intentions. After playing with Bubtney for a while, he released him and went back to the bottom to rest.
For some reason, except for the time when Yermungand threw Su Xiao in the air at their first meeting, he didn't approach Su Xiao again.
Just as Su Xiao was thinking about where he should go, he suddenly heard something come up out of the water behind him.
Ermungand's tentacle with a large blue crystal quickly appeared near the ground.
This blue crystal was about the size of a basketball and was slightly different from the ones Su Xiao had seen at the bottom earlier. This blue crystal was purer and looked much harder.
One of Ermungand's tentacles with the crystal stopped a meter away from Su Xiao, and the second, without anything, approached him.
He clearly wanted to exchange something for this crystal.
Su Xiao frowned. Now he was sure that this creature from the Void had recognized him as the Shadow of the Law. Given the history of the destruction of the Ermungands by mages, perhaps the Shadows of the Law had some sort of relationship with the Ermungands.
And now this Ermungand wanted to exchange something for this crystal from him.
The problem was that Su Xiao had no idea what exactly he wanted from him, but judging from the situation, the relationship between the Shadows of Law and the Ermungand race was clearly quite good.
The crystal that he brought in for the exchange was formed from the fallen tentacles. Every 70 years, Yermungand shed its four front tentacles on its own. These four tentacles were his "spatial sensors" and because of this, they wore out very quickly, which is why they were forced to change them once in a certain time.
Of course, this crystal wasn't exactly simple. After these tentacles turned into special crystals, this octopus still further processed it in its body, but what it did this for was no longer known, but the fact remained that it was just such a crystal that it brought for exchange.
Given the ruthlessness of the mages, the fact that the Ermungands were able to survive to this day must have been due to the Shadows of the Law. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Like the demons, the Ermungands were most likely friends of the Shadows of the Law.
But Su Xiao had no idea what kind of agreement they had made between them.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao took out two large soul crystals from his inventory.
Sensing the two large soul crystals, Yermungand's tentacles began to sway and were clearly not averse to taking them, however, they eventually made it clear that these crystals were not what he wanted.
