Infernal Artist

In the void.

Five small icons gently landed in the corner of your sight.

"Heroic Spirits Asylum,"

"Spiritual inheritance,"

"Collect cards,"

"Summoning of Lesser Heroic Spirits,"

"The Lord of Heroic Spirits."

——These are the five abilities of the Heroic Spirit operation interface.

Liu Ping watched quietly and suddenly said to himself: "I don't seem to be using some abilities."

A line of small burning words appeared before his eyes:

"You are busy learning the knowledge of the Human Empire and instilling soul power into the heroic spirits, so you have never used the ability of 'spiritual inheritance'."

Liu Ping nodded slightly.

When he first arrived in the empire, he saw a sleeping man outside a small village on the border.

At that time, the sequence gave a way to inherit the opponent's strength.

After I left, I never had time to do this.

Now all three heroic spirits have woken up.

——You should find a way to improve your strength!

Deep in the darkness, a sound of footsteps sounded.

Andrea appeared and said: "This is a collapsed passage. We are trapped in the middle section, unable to move forward or retreat."

"I see, I understand." Liu Ping said.

He casually released a holy light, illuminating the darkness and the ancient murals on the surrounding walls.

Yes.

This is the underground tunnel between the empire and the ruins of the Kingdom of Ceylon.

When the monster was chasing him, the tunnel collapsed.

The banshee in the forest sent herself back here directly.

"What should we do now?"

Andrea asked.

"Let's find a way to dig a way out - we can't stay here forever, and there are some things I have to report to the empire." Liu Ping said.

"I want to hit a road with all my strength, but I just don't know which direction to hit. If the entire tunnel collapses completely, it will be even more troublesome." Andrea said.

"That's true. Take your time." Liu Ping said.

Andrea waved casually.

An ancient weapon appeared in the void beside her.

"Dig a tunnel... We have to choose two suitable weapons to use. Liu Ping, what are you used to digging holes with?"

she said.

Liu Ping stared at the weapons and asked: "Andrea, where do these weapons of yours come from? Are they the manifestation of an ability?"

"No, they have been following me since I can remember." Andrea said.

"How many are there in total?"

"I don't know. In short, every time my strength improves, a large number of more powerful weapons will appear."

"This is interesting." Liu Ping said.

Andrea picked a halberd from among the many weapons, threw it to Liu Ping and said, "How about you dig with this?"

Liu Ping took the halberd, and lines of burning small characters quickly appeared in front of his eyes:

"Ghost-killing halberd."

"It has three attributes: sharpness, magic breaking, and thrusting."

Liu Ping said happily: "Okay, I'll use this."

Holding a halberd in his hand, he walked toward the end of the collapsed road.

Andrea casually picked up a large shield that was as tall as two people, dragged it on the ground with one hand, and followed him closely.

Next.

Liu Ping kept digging channels.

Andrea used her shield to transport the rocks and debris.

Several hours passed.

They have dug a long tunnel.

Liu Ping suddenly stopped what he was doing and whispered, "Listen."

Andrea listened.

At the other end of the passage, there were sounds of digging.

"Someone is also digging a tunnel, and they are not far from us!"

Andrea said.

Liu Ping nodded, lost in thought.

I don’t know if the other party is an enemy or a friend.

If it was that monster, I might not even have a chance to escape this time.

Andrea whispered: "How about we hide for a while?"

"Okay." Liu Ping said.

Andrea turned into a card and was taken into Liu Ping's arms.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ping reached out and pulled out the "Rock of Nothingness".

Bang!

An inconspicuous rock fell down and lay quietly among the rocks.

Time passes slowly.

The sound of digging on the opposite side grew louder and closer.

suddenly--

A surprised female voice came:

"Dig it through!"

Another female voice sounded: "It's clear, but where is Liu Ping? Libertas, answer my question."

Libertas's voice came out: "It's impossible. My ability is correct. We should find him today, in this direction."

Three figures walked in from the other side of the passage.

Standing in front was Libertas, who looked confused.

Xiao Mengluo was carrying a huge iron hoe that didn't fit her body shape at all, while Hua Qingkong summoned a team of rat men who were busy moving stones.

Xiao Mengluo stared at Libertas and said coldly: "Is your ability useful?"

"It can't be wrong!"

Libertas held a white card in his hand and glanced at the card.

I saw a line of small black words written on the card:

"Start digging from the fifth fork in the road. You will find long-lost friends."

Libertas tilted his head and thought for a few breaths, then slapped his forehead and said, "I know!"

"What?" Hua Qingkong asked.

"He must be dead and buried in this tunnel, so he didn't react at all when he heard such a loud noise! ​​We can find his body!" Libertas said.

There was silence.

Xiao Mengluo and Hua Qingkong stared at him.

If looks could kill, Libertas would have been killed countless times.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from the depths of darkness:

"Why are you all here?"

Liu Ping came from the depths of the tunnel and appeared in front of the three people.

He looked at his three friends and saw the signs above their heads: "Level 12 Archer", "Level 9 Assassin", and "Level 15 Spiritualist".

——The progress is very fast.

I am only at level 4 now, so it looks like I have to catch up with them.

The three of them were stunned.

Xiao Mengluo rushed forward first and threw herself into Liu Ping's arms.

Hua Qingkong breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of relief on his face.

Libertas puffed up his chest and said proudly: "Well, let me tell you, we will definitely find him."

…

"So you've always had the special ability to get an advice card every twelve hours?"

Liu Ping asked with interest as he held Libertas's card in his hand.

Libertas said: "Yes, originally this was my trump card. If I hadn't been looking for you, I wouldn't have exposed it."

"Thank you very much."

"Why are you so polite?"

"Liu Ping," Hua Qingkong said sternly, "I'm sorry, at that moment my body was controlled by the spirit and I couldn't stay and fight alongside you."

"It's okay, your spirit made the most correct choice. We are no match for that monster." Liu Ping comforted the other party.

"That's not the case. When it comes to fighting, I will never let any other being make the decision for me - even a spirit." Hua Qingkong said solemnly.

She opened her hand, letting Liu Ping see a torn card in her hand.

"This is the psychic card. I have destroyed it. I will not summon that spirit again in the future."

Liu Ping took a deep look at Hua Qingkong and said, "I have never blamed you, and I will never blame you in the future."

In fact, this is how a strong man behaves.

——The summoned object can actually make the decision for the professional, so who do you think the professional is? puppet?

"That's good." Hua Qingkong said with a smile.

Liu Ping looked at Xiao Mengluo again.

Her eyes were red and her face looked haggard. Ever since she discovered Liu Ping, she had never looked away for a moment.

"Why are you all here?" Liu Ping asked.

Libertas glanced at Xiao Mengluo and sighed: "She can't find you, and I joined the Assassin's Guild. I often get some gossip and know that you have appeared in Cold Hammer Town."

"Your teacher returned to the Imperial City. I went to ask him and found out that you will report to the Naturalist Society." Xiao Mengluo said.

"Then there's no need to come here." Liu Ping said.

"You still don't know what happened," Xiao Mengluo said with a serious expression: "His Majesty the Emperor ordered that all those who explore the Kingdom of Ceylon be killed, and Libertas said that you have arrived at Hanhammer Town, which is the closest to the Kingdom of Ceylon. I will I knew the situation was not good and I had to come over personally.”

Hua Qingkong interjected: "Liu Ping, now you and I are wanted."

Liu Ping looked at Libertas and then at Xiao Mengluo, feeling a little moved in his heart.

"Is the situation already so bad?" he said softly.

"Actually, that's not entirely true. After all, on the surface we are just imperial energy exploration personnel. The order to arrest us states that we are too close to the Kingdom of Ceylon." Hua Qingkong said.

"They don't know our true identities." Liu Ping said.

"Yes." Hua Qingkong said.

She took out a brand new ID card and handed it to Liu Ping.

Liu Ping took it and took a look and said unexpectedly: "Border sentry, Li Chaoyuan?"

"You and I both have special backup identities," Hua Qingkong said: "In two days, the Commander-in-Chief will inspect along the border. At that time, we will return to him as soldier representatives to report this incident."

"Why not contact the war order directly?" Liu Ping asked.

The three of them looked at each other with a look of deep worry on their faces.

Hua Qingkong said: "The war sequence no longer responds to any calls and has entered a completely closed state."

Liu Ping answered: "The empire——"

Libertas sighed and said: "Many things in the empire have begun to be handled by humans themselves."

"The church is developing very quickly. His Majesty the Emperor openly supports all kinds of religions, and -"

"He abolished the Erudite Guild, and all groups related to naturalists were disbanded."

Liu Jing listened quietly.

The Erudite Guild is a group of people who explore the unknown world, and is the cornerstone that helps Sequence learn all kinds of new knowledge, obtain information, and become stronger.

Now, the Erudite Guild has been completely broken up.

This is trouble.
