Chapter 2: Immunity Constitution
Effect: Reduces the damage intensity of the 'Burn' effect, and to a certain extent, curbs the stacking of the 'Burn' effect, shortening its duration.
Price: 150 Soul Coins for the first purchase, with the price increasing each time, up to a maximum of five purchases (the fifth purchase costs 2,400 Soul Coins).
Note: After leaving this world, this enhancement will convert into a proportional abnormal attribute resistance.
[Tip: Other items will gradually become available as the Hunter delves deeper into the Blazing Sun Sanctuary. Each time the Hunter finds and activates a 'Soul Skeleton,' the Soul Shop will refresh.]
[Tip: After the Soul Shop refreshes more than twice, high-value items will appear, such as Overlord Essence, Divine Bone, Immortal Rank equipment, etc., all with a chance to appear (since the Blazing Sun Sanctuary is in an unexplored state, this is a reward provided by Reincarnation Paradise).]
...
There were a total of two exchange options. If all five levels of the 'Burn' Immunity Constitution were purchased, it would cost a total of 4,650 Soul Coins, almost matching the price of an [Origin Stone].
Undoubtedly, the Burn effect was very troublesome, otherwise it wouldn't be so expensive. Secondly, the stock of [Sun Potion] was not large.
Counting the three bottles on hand and the six that could be additionally exchanged, Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, and Baha could stay in the Blazing Sun Sanctuary for about fifteen hours.
With the three bottles obtained from the mission and the diluted version provided by Ovia, Su Xiao's team could stay in the Blazing Sun Sanctuary for seven hours for free.
After that, it would cost 120 Soul Coins per hour. If there was no gain during that time, it would be a huge loss.
Su Xiao still had 610 Soul Coins. He had to thank Brother Wusan to some extent; without the other's past negative example, Su Xiao wouldn't always keep so many Soul Coins.

...
Seeing the content of the second ring of the promotion quest, Su Xiao was somewhat surprised. It was the first time he had seen a quest with no reward, which seemed to indicate that the process of this quest itself was a kind of reward.
The Soul Shop was very interesting. Based on the hints, there should be several 'Soul Skeletons' within the Blazing Sun Sanctuary. Judging by the name, they were likely skeletons in appearance, probably the kind that didn't move.
Su Xiao walked across the desolate continent. As he stepped on the ground cover, a crisp cracking sound came from under his feet. Su Xiao squinted, looking up at the 'sun' in the sky.
At this moment, the definition of the 'sun' was completely different from before. It was a constant threat. Without the Sun Potion and deep within the sanctuary, finding a building to take shelter in wouldn't kill you, but it would trap you forever.
"Rogesh, where to next? You've been here before, right?"
The distance between Shenfu and Guild Leader Rogesh wasn't far. They had already arrived at the sanctuary, and the Sun Gate Team could disband at any moment. If it weren't for Ovia, the potion provider, they would have already split up.
"I'm not sure. Last time I was here, I fell out of the 'sun.' There were... 35,246 people then."
Guild Leader Rogesh pointed upward.
"That's impossible. Even if you exhausted all the resources of the Eastern Continent, you couldn't gather enough Sun Potion for over thirty thousand people."
Death Shadow Ovia held the hand of the red-eyed woman. In the red-eyed woman's backpack were the Sun Potions. If anyone tried to take them, Ovia would destroy them immediately. If they were going to die, they would all die together.
"Last time I came, I didn't know about the existence of Sun Potion. You just had to use others to block the direct rays of the 'sun.' Each living person could last about two seconds. Like ants crossing a river."
Guild Leader Rogesh's words made Ovia imagine a scene: tens of thousands of people falling from above, some being burned and melted by the 'sun' on the way down. Those lucky enough to land would fight each other, using the severely wounded as shields above them, huddling together like a swarm of ants in water, struggling forward.
In truth, Guild Leader Rogesh wasn't telling the whole story. Last time, some big shot had kidnapped 350,000 civilians and sent them in batches. The young Rogesh was one of them. That big shot didn't survive, and only Rogesh managed to reach a place with buildings. He was only twelve years old at the time.
"Woof."
Bubu Wang barked, then began digging a hole in the ground at an incredible speed, sending warm dirt flying.
By the time Ovia and the others reacted, Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, and Baha were already inside the dirt hole.
Sizzle~
Xiusiluo was pulled into the dirt hole by the Realm Severing Thread. A crystal layer sealed the hole shut, and Baha even extended a periscope out. The whole process was practiced to perfection.
Shenfu, Guild Leader Rogesh, and Ovia were not slow to react either. Shenfu dove into a nearby dried-up molten substance, Guild Leader Rogesh gradually sank into the ground, and black smoke surged around Ovia.
Just then, a figure appeared behind Ovia. This figure was completely withered. Judging by the clothing, it seemed to be female. On her back were a pair of enormous wings, stained with dried blood.
This woman, like a 'Filthy Angel,' touched Ovia's left arm with her fingers, whose nails were filled with black grime. It was just a fingertip touch.
Pop!
Ovia's entire left arm exploded, turning into bloody fragments laced with golden threads. The 'Filthy Angel' behind her had appeared too suddenly, as if out of thin air.
Black smoke enveloped the Filthy Angel, wrapping and crushing her. The sound of breaking bones came, and snapped white feathers crackled.
"What... is this?"
Ovia felt lightheaded. Instantly killing the 'Filthy Angel' showed her strength, but even with her power, she wasn't invincible here, and she had been somewhat careless.
The danger level here had completely exceeded the Seventh Rank. This was an Eighth Rank area, the Blazing Sun Sanctuary of the Ganglu Dynasty, Chiriade.
