Infernal Artist

In the dark woods.

A khaki dog ran quickly.

Not far to its right is the dark blue frozen world.

——Liu Ping once said that you must not be too far away from the frozen world, otherwise you may encounter some monsters.

Huo Ya silently remembered it in his heart, and every once in a while, he would look at the distance between himself and the frozen world.

It walked through the woods, and a line of small words suddenly appeared in front of its eyes:

"You found a forest."

"Through this exploration, your experience value has increased by 1%."

Huo Ya showed a puzzled expression.

Just exploring and discovering a forest will increase your experience?

Although it is only 1%, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still flesh.

——As long as you keep running, won't you be able to get an upgrade sooner or later?

But this conflicts with Liu Ping's instructions.

"Woo...Woo..."

Huoyang squatted on the spot and made a slight neighing sound.

Liu Ping's voice then sounded: "It doesn't matter, it's just 1%. You are currently only at level 2, and you won't reach level 5 so soon."

"Woof!" Huoyang yelled.

It ran forward for a certain distance, then slowly stopped again, looking at a tree not far away.

A line of small words appeared next to the tree:

"Identity: Unowned."

"This tree contains the attribute of 'accommodating'. It is a rare tree species and can be collected."

Huoyang happily ran forward and put his paws gently on the tree.

Bang——

The tree suddenly disappeared and turned into a card that fell in front of Huo Ya.

Lines of small characters appeared quickly:

"The Magic Tree: Wandering Shore."

"This tree has its own secondary space, about thirty square meters."

"Congratulations, you got a card and your experience value reached; 105%."

"You've upgraded."

"You have become a level 3 pastoral dog!"

Fire Fang's body expanded again, becoming thicker and more powerful.

——It is already half a person tall.

"Woof!"

Huoyang howled excitedly.

Liu Ping's voice sounded again: "Well... Fire Fang, let's not collect cards for the time being. If this continues, it will indeed be a problem."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Huoyang begged.

"I know. In fact, why don't I want your level to be higher? But we are in a worrying situation now and we must get rid of that monster first." Liu Ping said.

"Woof..."

Firefang nodded sadly.

It is a flesh-and-blood hunting dog from purgatory. It also knows what is good and what is bad. It quickly collects its emotions and hits the road again.

It can't travel a certain distance.

The woods came to an end.

A huge pit appeared ahead.

A sign was erected next to the pit with three words written on it:

"Dead soul."

Huoyang seemed to sense something, his eyes showed vigilance, and he was whimpering on the spot and did not dare to come forward.

——This place looks a bit weird at first glance.

How important is a dog's life? We are just a level 3 pastoral dog. We don't dare to ask until the owner speaks, so we just roar twice and wait for the owner to speak.

"It's okay. Here are the humans and devils who were killed in the battle. Their souls have dissipated, leaving only empty shells here. There will be no danger."

Liu Ping spoke out.

Huoyang then cautiously stepped forward and walked around the edge of the giant pit.

On one side is the frozen world.

On the other side is a deep pit.

If you want to go around it, you are destined to be far away from the frozen world.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

If you go deep into the huge pit, you may not be able to climb up from the other side with the power of Fire Fang.

Along the edge of the giant pit, Fire Fang ran quickly.

suddenly.

It stopped again, all the hair on its body stood up, and a low neighing sound came from its throat.

in front of it.

A line of footprints appeared on the edge of the pit.

If you look carefully, you will find that this set of footprints comes from a deep pit. It climbs up the deep pit and leads to the misty cold mist in the distance without knowing its destination.

——That direction is exactly the direction that Huoyang wants to move forward.

"It's okay. Maybe some devils faked their own death. After everyone left, they fled back to their own country." Liu Ping said.

Huo Ya thought about it and felt it was reasonable, so he boldly moved forward to touch it.

When passing by the line of footprints, it jumped over the footprints with all its strength.

A line of small words appeared before its eyes:

"You have discovered the burial place of dead souls."

"Experience value +2%."

Fire Fang gradually increased his speed——

Sudden.

It stopped again!

It slowed down, sniffed around, and looked at the rocks ahead with a hesitant look on its face.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ping asked warily.

Firefang didn't answer.

It hesitated for a while, then selected a rock and slowly raised its hind legs.

Accompanied by a "sizzling" sound, Huoyang chirped happily.

——It turns out to be urination!

Liu Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

After trembling for a while, Huoyang cheered up again and began to run forward.

Before leaving, it looked back at its masterpiece——

"Ouch!"

Firefang let out a scream.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ping said helplessly.

Fire Fang opened his mouth, exposing the false teeth, allowing the false teeth to see the scene in front of him.

I saw dense footprints appearing on the rocky ground all around.

These footprints emerged from the huge pit, stacked one after another, and extended toward the end of the misty path.

Liu Ping was stunned.

If there are one or two demons who fake death and come back to life, that's okay.

But the footprints on the ground include those of demons and humans, and they are densely packed, as if all the dead have been resurrected.

They climbed up the pit and all headed in the direction of the pit.

Liu Ping took a deep breath.

how so?

The devil had just left when something strange happened.

Could it be that as soon as they left, the entire country was occupied by some unknown sleeper?

"We don't care about these things, as long as we bypass the giant pit."

Liu Ping comforted.

Firefang let out a low roar and started running again.

This time, its speed has obviously increased, and it is obviously trying its best to leave here as soon as possible.

Rustling... rustling...

In the dead darkness, only the sound of the running fire fangs could be heard.

It moved forward along the edge of the giant pit——

However, the footprints on the ground became more and more dense, and there were still black blood stains on some of the footprints.

All the footprints extend in one direction.

It was as if they were the pioneers and Fire Fang was just a laggard.

There was no other way, Huoyang could only bite the bullet and run forward.

The deep pit was left behind, and the fog in front spread to both sides, revealing a turbid river.

This is a big river with almost no end in sight. Looking around, you can only see a blurry black land on the extremely distant other bank.

Countless demons and humans stood by the river, motionless.

I saw that these demons and humans were all wearing broken armor, holding broken weapons, and their bodies and faces were covered with various old injuries.

——Dead soul!

These are the souls of those who died in the war!

Due to various reasons, although they exhausted the power of their souls, their bodies did not dissipate and were buried in the huge pit.

But now, they all woke up and stood together in front of this turbid river.

They stood silently, as if waiting for something.

This scene is quite strange.

When Fire Fang appeared, these demons and humans turned their heads and glanced at it.

When they discovered that it was just a dog, these demons and humans slowly withdrew their gaze.

Huoyang was so frightened that he stopped moving forward, and even couldn't help but tuck his tail.

But then, not a single devil or human looked at it again.

——Maybe it’s because the level is too low?

Huoyang approached the dead souls cautiously.

Still no one paid attention to it.

It didn't know what to do, so it had to grin and reveal its false teeth.

Taking advantage of this moment, Liu Ping glanced at the demons and humans.

In an instant, the same line of small words appeared above the heads of the demons and humans:

"???'s doll."

doll?

Liu Ping sighed in his heart.

Needless to say, the one who can resurrect all dead souls to serve as dolls must be a sleeper.

The devil had only been gone for a long time before he really came to sleeper.

"We'll stay aside and wait and see."

Liu Ping said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Ya quickly hid behind a big rock.

Time passes slowly.

I don’t know how long it took before a roar came from the river.

I saw large fish dozens of meters long emerging from the water, looking at the devils and humans on the shore with their empty eyes.

The devils and humans jumped on the backs of the big fish.

The big fish moved and swam towards the depths of the river.

Liu Ping watched this scene calmly, and suddenly said: "Huoya, let's go, find a way to get on the back of a fish."

"Ouch?" Huoyang made a confused voice.

"Anyway, they ignore your existence - there is something in this river that you can't swim through alone. Even I don't dare to get into the water easily. I might as well take this opportunity to gamble and see if I can get through it." Liu Ping said.

——Maybe this is the only chance.

The river is full of all kinds of intertwined terrifying auras, and no one knows what kind of monsters are hidden there.

If we miss this opportunity, how can we cross this river?

Huoyang gritted his teeth, popped his head out from behind the stone, and ran quickly towards the river.

Just like in the beginning, both demons and humans ignored it.

It followed a group of humans and jumped onto the back of the fish, carefully hiding under the feet of a burly man.

Waited for a few breaths.

The fish started to swim.

It carried a group of demons and humans and swam towards the other side.

At this time, the burly man suddenly lowered his head and glanced at Huoyang.

He slowly squatted down, tore off a piece of fish scale from the back of the fish, cut his finger and wrote quickly:

"Dogs are not afraid. As long as you come to help me, I will help you too."
