Chapter 1663.1: Immediately meeting the boss
Su Xiao was certain that if he had a fight with this old woman, he wouldn't even last ten seconds.
And she didn't feel like a living thing at all.
Soon, the old woman approached Su Xiao. He took out a half-burned black envelope and tossed it into the basket.
The old woman took it out and put it in her mouth, then chewed it and, after standing for a while, went on.
After about half an hour, the train slowly stopped. Because this train had no windows, Su Xiao couldn't find out what was outside, and no one on the train said anything during the entire train ride.
As steam billowed in all directions, the doors on both sides of the train opened.
Su Xiao looked towards the door and saw a black meadow.
The passengers started to get out one by one, but he stayed in his seat.
After the train stopped and started four times, he was the only passenger on that train.
With a whoosh, the train stopped once again.
When the doors opened again, the wind howled.
Outside was the desert.
As Su Xiao got off the train, he felt space distort. When he turned around and looked at the train, he had already driven several hundred meters away from it.
[The hunter had penetrated the outer layer of the Black Abyss.]
Su Xiao arrived at the Black Abyss, but he didn't even know when exactly. This made sense. The demons earned money through this passageway, so they certainly wouldn't let outsiders know exactly how the delivery to the Black Abyss took place and with what technology. They even installed a very strong old woman as a conductor to check the tickets. Even a rank six or seven contractor would have died at her hands if he didn't have a ticket with him.
[Since the Hunter is located in the Black Abyss, all your stats will be suppressed.
True strength can't be suppressed, true agility...
Charisma has been suppressed and reduced by 3 points.
Luck is a special characteristic and cannot be suppressed by the Black Abyss.
A promotion mission has been formed, verification...
During this attempt to increase their rank, the Hunter can get a unique treasure chest of the Black Abyss (by killing the enemy).).
The source of Peace cannot be obtained in the Black Abyss.
The hunter decided to overcome the barrier of 99 points for all four of his true stats at once, and the difficulty of the mission was significantly increased (by 400%).]
[Promotion Mission: Reclaim the Ash Tree.
Difficulty level: Level 42~46 (Fifth rank).
Description: Find an Ash bud and return it to the Reincarnation Paradise.
Addition: The Ash bud is located at "Apologetic Heights" (The hunter will need to find a specific location on their own).
Completion time: 20 days (Due to the increased complexity of the task, an additional 3 days were allocated for completing the task).
Completion Reward: Breaking the 99 Point barrier of 4 True Stats.
Quest Failure Penalty: Strength, Agility, Stamina, and Intelligence will be permanently reduced by 5 points.]
Su Xiao wasn't too surprised by the difficulty and mission description, but when he saw the penalty, he frowned.
It wasn't that the penalty was too severe, but that it was too light. Four of its characteristics will lose 5 points each. This loss can be replaced by 2-3 derived worlds, after which he will again be able to try to overcome the barrier of 99 points. Although each contractor could try to break this barrier no more than three times, the penalty for failing the task was too small.
But this seemingly small penalty actually indicated one fact: Su Xiao, given the difficulty of this quest, it would be difficult to even survive, which was probably why the penalty was so small.
The only good news was that he could get a unique chest by eliminating his opponents.
If Amu and Benny weren't teleported directly to the Black Abyss, they most likely wouldn't be able to get in. There was no point in worrying about Bubtney, because this sly guy would be able to get through all the checks anyway.
But compared to teaming up with Bubtni, what Su Xiao wanted most right now was to understand exactly where he was.
Sand drifted across the desert from time to time.
Holding one hand out in front of him, he tried to find something with his eyes.
The strong wind was constantly blowing fine sand, which made him hear light crackling sounds in his ears every now and then.
He didn't have much supplies with him. One bottle of water and three servings of high-calorie pressed foods... In terms of survival, he needed to find water first, then a safe place to rest, and then finally food..
The second part could be ignored for now, as he needed to get to the Apologetic Heights as quickly as possible. This mission was different from the one he had encountered in the Dark Raven world, where he had to search around the world for clues about the target's location.
First, he needed to find water, and then an intelligent being who would tell him about the Apologetic Heights. The beginning of the conversation will be friendly and peaceful, but if this does not bring the desired effect, he will activate his very effective type of negotiation..
While Su Xiao was thinking about a plan of action, a huge shadow suddenly rolled across the ground. Looking up, he saw a dark dragon with a pitch-black body and fleshy wings, although it wasn't a pure-blooded dragon, but a mixed-race one.
But this was the first time he'd seen a dragon, and although it looked strong, it actually felt more like a week's worth of food than a serious threat.
*Roar~*
With a roar, it began to circle in the air.
