Infernal Artist

By the dry river bed.

A group of people were walking silently.

"In which direction are you going?" Liu Ping asked as he walked.

"Go through this river and woods to the canyon to the west." Norton said.

"canyon?"

Liu Ping recalled the terrain and said, "It's Changfeng Canyon, right? What next?"

"I've already made contact. People from Machinery City will be waiting for us there." Norton said.

"Mechanical City...that's it." Liu Ping said.

On the map given by the Ancient Tree Spirit, the Mechanical City is in the north direction.

It is a relatively famous refuge.

If you follow the team to the Machinery City——

Then you will get rid of the blockade and pursuit of the vicious snake and the spirit-slaying ant queen, and you can go at full speed to the snowy mountains to meet Hua Qingkong!

"Liu Ping, your healing skills are good. You must increase your strength quickly to give yourself more means of self-protection." Norton said suddenly.

"Okay, thank you for the reminder." Liu Ping came back to his senses and responded.

"Don't blame me for being verbose, there are really too few therapeutic professionals." Norton said with emotion.

Liu Ping smiled and said no more.

In front of his eyes, lines of burning small characters appeared quickly:

"Your 'life-saving' technique absorbed 26 points of soul power from the target."

"Your target is in a moribund state."

"The target is dead."

"The current soul power has been converted into experience points for calculation."

"Congratulations."

"Your experience value has reached 125%."

"Your level has been increased to: 9."

"Your attributes have increased by 1 point."

"Your upper limit of soul power has been increased to 18 points."

"The mysterious side of power lingers in the void, waiting for your call."

“You’ll get an opportunity to strengthen the skills you already have.”

"Please choose carefully."

Liu Ping raised his eyebrows in surprise.

It turns out that it is not necessarily about acquiring new skills, but it may also be about strengthening existing skills.

So, how do you choose?

He thought for a while and then made a decision.

Lines of burning small characters continued to appear, recording the situation:

"You made your decision."

"Your spell: Holy Chant will be strengthened once."

"Congratulations."

"Since you have upgraded the holy chant to a silent spell, this upgrade will directly increase your healing ability."

"The law of eternal night is poured into you, which raises the holy chanting technique to a big level."

"You have gained a new spell: Holy Healing."

"Description: It is more effective than Holy Chant, and while healing, it can prevent the target from being harmed by curses and magic for three seconds."

"Release conditions: 1 point of soul power."

All the small words disappeared in a flash.

Another line of burning small words appeared:

"This operation interface has noticed that for card masters, every ten levels will receive a substantial improvement."

"Please upgrade to level ten as soon as possible."

Level ten?

Liu Ping silently remembered it in his heart.

suddenly.

Norton's voice sounded:

"Attention everyone, don't make any sound."

People were shocked.

I saw magic ants gradually emerging from the surrounding wild woods.

They gathered from all directions and crawled back and forth on this long dry river bed, as if looking for something.

"Don't worry, everyone... the hidden paths will not be noticed. We are not currently in the same space as them."

Norton shouted.

"So, how will they catch us?" Liu Ping asked.

"Unless someone is acting as an internal response," Norton said.

He looked back and continued: "I am here all old friends who have been together for decades, and you are also recognized by the spirit of the ancient tree, so there will be no problem."

Old friend?

Liu Ping turned his eyes and looked towards the caravan behind him.

——I'm afraid it's too late.

Something had to be done.

"Lilith."

"I am here."

"Can you let me control the body temporarily?"

"Of course, this is my ability."

"Start immediately!"

"good."

…

Colin looked at his companions on the stretcher, feeling a little uneasy.

It was obviously just a show, but this guy was so seriously injured.

The rest of the tasks fall on me alone.

Can you do it yourself?

Just as he was thinking, Norton's voice came from ahead.

Magic ants?

Colin stood up and looked around.

Demon ants are coming all over the mountains and plains.

I have finally waited for this moment!

Colin was ecstatic and immediately reached out to take something out of his arms.

——That was a card given to him by the Sleeper himself. It could build bridges in space and disintegrate the power of the 'Secret Path' from the inside!

He gripped the card tightly and was about to activate it, but was suddenly grabbed by a hand.

"you--"

Colin shivered in fright.

Looking down, he saw that his companion had woken up and was grabbing him with his hands.

Colin was overjoyed and couldn't help but squat down and said quickly: "You are really good at pretending to be dead, but you are very active when it comes to grabbing the credit - get up and protect me, I am going to release that card."

"Don't use this card." My companion said.

"Ah? Why?" Colin was a little wary and defensive, and he held the card tighter.

——Seems ready to be thrown out at any time.

"You will scare off the enemy." The companion said slowly.

He glanced at the card and then looked into the void.

so close!

Almost a close call!

"I have found a more valuable target. If I alert him at this time, he will escape again." He continued.

"Can you take responsibility for what you say?" Colin looked at him for a while and asked.

"Of course, what time is this and what kind of situation is it? Do you think I will do anything random?" said the companion.

Colin's face darkened.

He thought for a while, held the card in one hand, opened the card book with the other hand, and pressed his hand on a card.

The card disappeared immediately.

"I have used the only sound card. Now you can report it to me. I don't dare to take this responsibility." Colin said.

"No problem." His companion glanced at him.

This guy is really vigilant and will not let go of the card in his hand that can ruin everything.

The next moment——

A magnificent buzzing sound sounded in their ears at the same time.

"You have been following Norton and constantly reporting the coordinates. We are about to close the net now. Why is there no movement?"

This is the Queen of Soul-Slaying Ants!

It came to take care of this matter personally!

Colin was startled and said respectfully: "Dear great being, my companion said that now is not the time. I can't figure out what he meant. He must have something to report to you personally."

"Say it quickly!" the Spirit-Slaying Ant Queen said impatiently.

"Great existence, I found a strange guy. He is a boy about fourteen years old, and there is a girl the size of a palm beside him. I think this situation must be reported first, and then I will follow your decision."

There was silence on the other side.

Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded:

"You did a good job. Don't alert the snake. They are very good at escaping!"

In the middle, there was a surprise cry from the Soul-Slaying Ant Queen: "Don't take action, wait for us to come, remember? Wait for us to come!"

The woman suppressed the voice of the Spirit-Slaying Ant Queen and said majestically: "Remember, this is a huge achievement. You must not show off your flaws, you must be calm, and wait for us to arrive at your place - your position is ?”

"The Gray Forest Stone." Colin rushed to say.

"Sir! Colin almost alerted the enemy just now. He was eager to grab credit and extremely distrustful of my judgment. I hope that I will be responsible for holding the card that breaks the space barrier next," said his companion.

"You——" Colin stared at his companion.

"Do you dare to say that this was not the case just now? Come, in front of your two Excellencies, this matter must be made clear. We must not be careless." asked the companion.

Colin opened his mouth but was speechless.

The other party is right.

——Given him 10,000 courages, he would not dare to quibble in front of those two people.

"Okay, you have more discernment and your judgment is correct, so you can hold the card." A woman's voice sounded.

The companion extended his hand.

Colin handed over the card unwillingly.

"Two adults, I await your arrival."

The companion said in a calm and reassuring voice.

call ended.

Colin closed the card book and was about to say two harsh words——

one hand.

A hand reached out from behind and covered his mouth.

The dagger passed through the chest.

Libertas' excited voice sounded:

"Aha, the new skill after leaving The Fool, I can smell the fresh scent of eternal night it emits, as sweet as your death."

Continuous thrusts.

Colin struggled desperately and kept twisting his head, but he saw a scene that made his hair stand on end.

I don’t know when.

All around the caravan.

Many card masters held card books and released various isolation cards one after another, making it impossible to spread what happened here.

The young man stood next to Norton and said with a leisurely expression:

"Lilith, he is yours too."

An excited female voice then sounded:

"A brand new doll—"

doll?

Colin wanted to continue listening, but the world seemed to begin to sink slowly, and eternal darkness enveloped everything.

The rest of the words were never heard again.
