Chapter 2: Know When to Stop, Use This Treasure Vault Key to Loot the Vault.
The first option had higher returns than the second. Previously, Su Xiao had always believed that the Sea God was the main boss of this world. But after a round of encirclement and attack, he had killed the Sea God without even using many of his blade techniques.
Now it seemed the real Sea God hadn't died. The main body of the Sea God was the Sea God's Primordial Energy, which could transfer within Conrad's clan members. If Conrad died, it would inherit to his eldest son; if his eldest son died, it would inherit to the second son.
This would continue until only one member of Conrad's clan remained. Then the Sea God's Primordial Energy—the Sea God itself—would sense danger. It coexisted with the Thief Clan; if the Thief Clan was wiped out, it would naturally perish as well.
Only at that point would the Sea God reveal its true form and combat power. In that state, the complete Sea God was one of the ultimate bosses of this world.
As the saying goes, benefits and risks go hand in hand.
Su Xiao decided not to court death. This was the main city. Killing the previous generation's Sea God Host, Atlantis, had allowed Conrad to come out and suppress the situation. If he killed Conrad, he would be hostile to the entire main city.
Su Xiao had used human wave tactics to deal with many powerful enemies before, such as Fei Shi, so he naturally understood the invincibility of such tactics. Moreover, the Sea God Palace forces were now his half-workers, helping him search for the Crow Woman all over the world.
Having made up his mind, Su Xiao walked toward the door at the back of the bedchamber, heading straight for Vault No. 2.
...
Main City, Outer District.
Boom!
An explosion erupted from a hotel. Several severed fingers were blown away by the flames, and burning wooden fragments scattered like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden.
A woman in a black tight-fitting suit with a wide-open collar was blasted out. With a crash, she landed on a civilian house, shattering the tiles.
"Is the alarm clock too loud?"
The Crow Woman sat up, using her fingers to pick a piece of broken tile from inside her clothes near her chest. She was very puzzled. She had only just arrived at the main city, so why was someone attacking her? Suddenly, she realized it must be Reincarnation Paradise's Bai Ye who had found her location.
"Bai Ye, stop hiding in the shadows. Come out and fight."
The Crow Woman intended to drag the situation into her area of expertise, but soon she realized something was wrong. Many city guards surrounded her, led by a bald man dressed as a priest.
"Kill the Crow Woman! Avenge Lord Sea God!"
"??"
The Crow Woman felt confused. She guessed she was being framed.
After the priest shouted to avenge Lord Sea God, the city guards struck the ground with the butts of their long weapons, a scene that shook the soul.
The surrounding city guards crowded in, encircling the Crow Woman in the middle. The scene felt strangely familiar.
