On the map.
A long path appeared on the map.
At the end of the path, a small dot stopped moving with several symbols floating next to it:
[Mount of the Mother of Corrupted Souls: Moth of Corruption]
[A rare mutated demon insect, as fragile as its owner]
Reading the second line of text, Liu Ping was silently surprised.
Just how bored is this Occultism Fiend King to comment on his subordinate's mount?
Following that, two more dots appeared on the map:
[Demonic Spider Chieftain]
[This is an idiot]
[Dark Destruction Wolf King]
[Another idiot, but it's quite strong, if it provokes me again, I'll eat it]
Quite strong.
If it was praised by the Occultism Fiend King as' quite strong ', it should be much stronger than I am.
Liu Ping stopped and called out: "Lilith"
"I'm here" the young girl replied.
"Can you temporarily control the Mother of Corrupted Souls? We'll probably have to put on a show "Liu Ping said.
"Of course, what do you want to do?" Lilith curiously asked.
"Fighting these monsters is meaningless, we'll just go straight for it" Liu Ping replied.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well" Lilith was a bit nervous.
"It's fine, I'll say something, you just say it as well. Just treat it as a show" Liu Ping smiled.
"What if we're exposed?"
"It won't really matter, if we're exposed, we'll just kill them all and catch a few more dolls"
"Phew, I'm relieved to hear that"
A few minutes later.
Sha … sha … sha …
The sound of something being dragged could be heard from the small path.
A monster made entirely out of bones crossed the long path and reached the end of the path.
A voice called out:
[You've returned, Mother of Corrupted Souls]
The Mother of Corrupted Souls glanced at where the voice came from.
Two monsters were standing side by side, one of them had eight brightly colored limbs, while the other was covered in black fur with a fierce gaze and razor-sharp nails.
Boundless flames erupted from the two monsters, even the fog couldn't get close to them.
They were the Demonic Spider Chieftain and the Dark Destruction Wolf King.
"The matter has been resolved, I'll be returning"
The Mother of Corrupted Souls declared.
It pulled the long chain in its hand.
A person rolled out from the fog and fell to the ground.
"Who is this person?"
The Dark Destruction Wolf King asked curiously.
"A card user, he is my spoil of war, do not touch him " the Mother of Corrupted Souls declared.
It walked up to the Moth of Corruption.
The Dark Destruction Wolf King looked at the other side of the fog and said, "You better kill your captive quickly. Otherwise, I can't help but want to go to the square and kill that angel."
The Mother of Corrupted Souls paused.
What did he mean?
Why didn't he just kill the Angel?
Could it be that the angel could only be killed after the card user who broke in died?
No wonder there was an explanation at the end of the quest:
"The angel is in charge of guarding the plaza. It will leave a way out for you."
The Mother of Corrupted Souls lightly pulled on the chain.
The card user staggered and fell to the ground, then was slowly dragged in front of the moth.
"Do whatever you want. It's none of your business how I torture my captives."
The Mother of Corrupted Souls said coldly.
"Go back" it said to the moth.
The moth flapped its wings and soared into the air, flying into the depths of the fog.
The Dark Destruction Wolf King watched the moth fly away and snorted.
"Its temper is getting worse and worse"
The Demonic Spider Chieftain slowly said: "It's always been like this, you shouldn't have provoked it"
…
The Moth of Corruption flew through the layers of fog, heading deeper into the world.
On its back.
The Mother of Corrupted Souls stepped on Liu Ping's body and mocked him:
"Be obedient, if you make me angry, I guarantee you'll regret it"
"Yes!"
Liu Ping breathed heavily.
The moth let out a mocking cry and sped up a bit.
A few minutes later.
It suddenly stopped its wings and lightly glided forward.
The fog was left behind, and a valley covered in ice and snow appeared in front of it.
"This is …"
Lilith was hiding in Liu Ping's hair and couldn't help but exclaim.
She hurriedly covered her mouth.
The moth landed in the valley, steadily stopping in the middle of the snow and ice.
"That's a decent mount"
Liu Ping commented.
The Card Book automatically flipped open.
Hua Qingkong silently appeared with countless white strings coiled around her finger. She lightly shook it.
All the strings flew out and tightly bound the moth.
Norton tapped the moth's head with his scepter and shouted: "[Spatial Tremor]!"
The moth instantly stopped moving.
Libertas excitedly jumped out and was about to stab the moth with his flame dagger, only to find that the moth was already dead.
"Sure enough, it's a very weak mount" he said disappointedly.
"We need it, Lilith, it's our second doll" Liu Ping said.
"Got it!" Lilith replied.
The moth slowly moved and lightly flapped its wings again.
Hua Qingkong, Norton, and Libertas returned to the Card Book.
Liu Ping looked at the map.
This valley was also marked out, with a line of text next to it:
[Frozen Valley]
[Nightmare Species Disposal Area]
[Even though I've repeatedly studied this monster, I still couldn't find anything]
[Let's just let the Mother of Corrupted Souls continue to study it, after all, we've already suffered heavy casualties to defeat this monster]
Liu Ping looked around.
A large rectangular block of ice stood in the middle of the valley.
Inside the block of ice, a corpse was motionless.
Its body was at least 10 meters tall and looked like a human, but there was a deep hole in the middle of its head, emitting a blinding light from inside.
On the surface of its body, thin and long granulation sprouts were densely packed. Each granulation sprouts had eyes on them.
Even though it was frozen, those eyes were still staring at Liu Ping.
Liu Ping moved a few dozen meters to the left, and the eyes followed.
Like …
They had their own thoughts.
On the back of this 10-meter-tall humanoid existence, a dark orb was emitting a faint white light.
Yana's voice suddenly appeared:
"It's hard to imagine that such a thing exists"
Hua Qingkong sighed: "I've never seen it before, so it really is an existence from the Age of Nightmare?"
Liu Ping pressed his hand on the block of ice and hesitated: "Is this thing really dead? Why do I find it hard to believe? "
Suddenly.
Liu Ping's waist shook slightly.
He quickly took out the ID Card, only to see a line of text written on it:
[You've crossed the long battlefront and directly reached the depths of the Inner World]
[Your evaluation has increased]
[Your identity has been updated]
[Please continue to explore the situation here]
On the card, three more stars suddenly appeared around the shining star.
Four-star Enforcer!
In just one deep dive, Liu Ping's identity became a Four-star Enforcer!
Lines of small burning words appeared in the void:
[You've seen the Nightmare]
[You've been recognized by the Dream Sequence, your current identity is a member of the Dream World]
[Everything you discover will be protected by the Dream Sequence, and will not be punished by any secret guardian]
Liu Ping pondered and looked at the map again.
On the map, the Occult Devil King's words still remained.
It once led its subordinates and paid a heavy price to obtain the corpse of this "Nightmare", but it didn't gain anything.
Then …
What should I do?
Liu Ping thought for a few seconds and called out: "Lilith"
"No! Although it's in a dead state, it will revive after a period of time, I can't turn it into a doll "Lilith screamed.
Liu Ping looked at the "Nightmare".
All the eyes around it looked at him with a mocking gaze.
Liu Ping muttered: "This is ridiculous, it's clearly dead yet it can still look down on me"
What kind of power do I have to deal with it?
None.
Wait, no, there seems to be an existence!
Liu Ping pondered for a bit, then took out the [Anatomy and Modification Manual (Living Edition)].
The big boss behind this book can even dissect Deities.
He compiled this [Anatomy and Modification Manual (Living Edition)], but who knows what else he compiled?
Maybe there's a version outside of Living Edition?
Back then, I promised him that I'll go again at level 20, but now I'm already level 30.
Liu Ping immediately took out the [Anatomy and Modification Manual (Living Edition)] and dripped a drop of blood on the cover of the book.
The small book instantly emitted a halo that enveloped Liu Ping.
The scene around him quickly changed.
A second later.
A voice was heard:
"Tsk tsk, you came earlier than I expected, look at you! already level 30"
Liu Ping turned to look.
A black figure stood next to him, holding a scalpel in his hand and cutting a glowing object.
Liu Ping calmed down.
No matter how powerful that dream sequence is, didn't I come out now?
"You escaped from a dream world, be careful, it can catch you back at any time"
The black figure said without looking up.
Liu Ping smiled bitterly.
"I found something this time, it raised a lot of doubts in my mind, so I came here to ask you for advice, and see if you're interested in that corpse" he said.
"Corpse? I have the corpses of countless species here "the black figure said lazily.
"But the corpse I found, it's a nightmare that's temporarily dead" Liu Ping said.
The world went silent for a few seconds.
The black figure slowly stood up and said solemnly: "What? A nightmare! You found the corpse of a nightmare! "
"Yes, it's in the dream sequence that I came from" Liu Ping said.
