Chapter 537: Chapter 534: "Anjiang?
Su Mingâan sat opposite a young girl dressed in a ceremonial shaman robe.
A bright red Sacrificial Crown sat on the girlâs head, glowing with a blood-like hue.
She bowed her head, busy with her duties.
"Clan Leader." Guang Liâs voice came from outside the door, "About the former Clan Leader Fengchangâs funeral ceremony..."
"Mm." Xiber put down her pen, "Hold it according to the tribeâs usual practices, I will preside over the ceremony."
Su Mingâan sat by the side, watching Xiber handle the affairs of the First Tribe methodically.
After Fengchangâs death, she immediately took on all the responsibilities.
The succession ceremony, the funeral of the former Clan Leader, the tribeâs restoration after the disaster... all were handed over to her alone.
Initially, the tribespeople thought she was too young and inexperienced, but Xiber, who had experienced countless reincarnations, was proficient in these matters and easily carried the burden.
Her ability to regulate emotions was truly strong.
Just yesterday, she was overwhelmed with grief over Fengchangâs death, but after a night, she adjusted her emotions and began to handle affairs calmly.
"Clan Leader, I will take my leave now," said the third elder.
"Go ahead," Xiber said.
Before leaving, the third elder cast an ambiguous glance at her and Su Mingâan.
That look was familiar.
... It must be said, the bad habit of viewing women around Bai Shen as wives still existed, its origin unknown.
"Xiber, are you going to stay in the First Tribe for now?" Su Mingâan asked.
"Mm." Xiber did not lift her head.
"Then, after everything ends in fifteen days, would you like to come with me?" Su Mingâan asked.
Xiberâs favorability was still 100 points, and the invitation he issued for a follower was still valid.
"Ding-dong!"
After hearing this, Xiber looked up and subtly smiled at him.
"Qiongdi already cannot do without me," she said,
"Su Mingâan, why donât you stay instead?"
"Ding-dong!"
Naturally, their mutual invitations were both rejected, with neither side accepting the otherâs invitation.
"You see, we are so similar; I have things I canât let go of, and so do you," Xiber said with a smile, "As for now, I neither possess âFaithâ nor âEnergy,â and there is hardly any chance for me to become a God. After you become one of the Bai Shen and overthrow the Black Wall... I must stay in Qiongdi to manage the aftermath."
"Have you thought about the structure after overthrowing the Black Wall?" Su Mingâan asked.
Xiber shook her head.
"I... havenât," she said, "Honestly, I donât know if people from the outside world will hate us, after all, to them, we are a source of radiation. Our act of overthrowing the Black Wall fundamentally pollutes their environment.
If... we really go to war over this, thatâs also the fate of the world.
We canât just suffer in the Black Wall until death out of fear of antagonizing the outside world, right? We must communicate with the outsiders, utilizing their advanced technological strength to eliminate the curse of Qiondgi."
As she spoke, she bowed her head again.
Moments later, Su Mingâan stood up.
"...So, Iâll go find Yuan Shuangshuang first," he said.
As the first Guide, Yuan Shuangshuang held the Black Crow Authority symbolizing the "Curse." At the beginning, her unfortunate Player adventurer couldnât withstand the curse on her and died, causing her to lose her divine wisdom. Xiber then dragged her into the cellar of the cabin.
Logically, Yuan Shuangshuang should have already died from the curse explosion.
"Go ahead," Xiber said softly.
Su Mingâan bid farewell to Xiber.
He had Shadow follow her to protect her while he himself headed to the initial cabin to look for Yuan Shuangshuang.
The First Tribe was already under his control, and he had activated the Tribeâs strength, dispatching several powerful elders to eliminate Players and reduce competitors.
But what particularly concerned him was Su Rin, who had been missing for a long time.
... This person seemed to have truly vanished into thin air.
Even though his house was robbed, Su Rin still hadnât returned from the wilderness.
... Did he really go to become a wild wolf?
Su Mingâan opened the panel and saw a system prompt.
This was the system prompt from last night.
The casualty rate for Players was severe, reaching the point where gathering even a small number of them for the next dayâs final Silver Star instance was nearly impossible. Essentially, this was the decisive battle.
This world was about to end.
Su Mingâan ran toward the cabin, seeing many horribly disfigured corpses along the way, belonging to both tribespeople and Players. A toxic rainstorm had just ceased, causing many to die beneath the poisonous rainfall.
He arrived at the cabin before evening. Fortunately, the coordinates for the Silver Star instance were nearby, so there was no need to worry about not making it by dawn.
He pushed open the door of the cabin and smelled a thick scent of blood, which was coming from the basement.
Because the curseâs authority was so unique, Yuan Shuangshuang was the most dangerous Guide, emitting harmful radiation to others and herself; even getting close could easily lead to metamorphosis.
At her time of death, there would be an explosion-like effect of the curse.
Thatâs why Xiber had wanted to throw her in the basement first, waiting for her to die before coming back to recover the Black Crow Authority.
Su Mingâan lifted the heavy stone of the basement and walked down the stone stairs.
He knew something unexpected must have occurred; otherwise, what he would be smelling now should be the scent of Yuan Shuangshuangâs body turned to sludge, not the smell of blood.
He walked to the bottom and saw a corpse that surprised him.
A blond young man lay in the basement, his body covered in decayed muck, his shattered face still maintaining an expression of astonishment, as if he had seen something strange before he died.
... It was Noel.
Su Mingâan had thought that Noel could have survived until the end, at least participate in the final Silver Star instance with him, but instead, Noel had died here.
Looking at Noelâs already stopped pocket watch, his time of death was yesterday evening.
Noel must have arrived here at the time when the Jiu Shen appeared yesterday, attempting to obtain the Black Crow Authority and hand it over to Su Mingâan, enabling him to become a Bai Shen to confront the Jiu Shen.
Noelâs idea was sound, and he was well-informed. He already knew that the Black Crow Authority was in Yuan Shuangshuangâs hands and even knew she was in this basement.
But clearly, something went wrong along the way, and not only did Noel fail to secure the Black Crow Authority, but he also died here, apparently from the curse.
It seems Yuan Shuangshuang not only didnât die but also killed Noel in self-defense.
Though she had been in a state of lost divine wisdom all along, she somehow managed to kill Noel, who approached her.
Su Mingâan turned around and suddenly froze.
He saw a small, purple-haired figure standing at the top of the basement stairs.
Light fell on her, casting a long shadow behind her.
She appeared without warning, and he hadnât heard any footsteps.
She tilted her head, smiling, "Are you looking for me? Anjiang."
