steeple.

top layer.

There is no one here.

The five card-stealing group, who were still a little nervous at first, looked at each other.

"This kind of high-level spire is used to manage a world. Usually there is a big devil guarding here day and night, but the devil doesn't seem to be here." Yana said.

"There were no decent defense or early warning techniques along the way. We came up too smoothly." Norton said.

After saying this, several people felt a little guilty.

——Could it be a trap?

Hua Qingkong stared at Yana's wrist without blinking and said:

"Don't worry so much. It's better if the big devil is gone - my thread of destiny seems to have found the location of that card."

Everyone looked together.

The thread of fate on Yana's wrist was stretched straight, pointing to the wall on the left.

"In the wall?" Yana asked.

"...No, I can feel the thread of fate passing through the wall and pointing somewhere outside the wall." Hua Qingkong said.

Norton pressed his hand on the wall for a while and said, "The wall is solid, and the outer layer is blessed with various warning spells. If it is broken, it will immediately attract the enemy."

Libertas coughed lightly and said, "Let me try."

He stood in front of the wall, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

Sudden.

He disappeared from sight.

The next moment, he stepped back from the wall, holding a card in his hand.

"Is that this one? It just got stuck in the gap in the eaves."

Libertas asked.

Yana took the card and looked at it, surprised and said: "This is one of the sacred decks. How did you get it?"

"My level 20 ability is to steal cards or other things - regardless of any obstruction, so I just went through the wall and found this card."

Libertas crossed his arms and showed a proud expression, as if to say come and praise me.

Yana held the card and was in a good mood. She couldn't help but praise:

"Yes, as the only real 14-year-old boy, you are great!"

Libertas said dissatisfied: "Hey, don't treat me like a child!"

Yana smiled and said: "Actually, the real strength of your ability just now is not in stealing cards."

Libertas was stunned: "What is that?"

"Stealing the enemy's heart and head - Hua Qingkong, what do you think?" Yana asked.

"Maybe there are enemy weapons?" Hua Qingkong said with a smile.

Libertas was stunned again, feeling suddenly enlightened like an enlightenment.

"Yeah... what are you stealing... such a brutal fighting skill..."

he murmured.

Yana said no more and raised her hand casually.

A black snake appeared on her arm as white as snow.

This black snake has two heads, one of which opens its mouth and bites the card hard, while the other stretches out and disappears into the void.

the other side.

Liu Ping picked up the head and prepared to leave.

Suddenly a snake head appeared in the void and bit his wrist fiercely.

"Hiss—Yana, be gentle!"

Liu Ping couldn't help but shuddered.

Yana's voice came from the void: "Be patient, you will get used to it in the future."

The black snake bit deeper.

After a few seconds.

The black snake disappeared, followed by a soft sound.

Bang——

A card fell in front of Liu Ping.

The card showed a knight in armor holding the Holy Grail, and kneeling on both sides of him were several warriors with shameful faces, all raising their weapons and slashing at themselves.

Lines of burning small characters quickly emerged:

"Card: Atonement Coupon."

"Sacred cards, magic cards."

"This card can only be used once per day and cannot be detected when released."

"Description: When you use this card on a target, the target's next attack will hit itself."

"-We never forgive unless you give yourself a break."

Liu Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this card is as speechless as Holy Water, it is still extremely useful.

——Finally, I got another sacred card.

If you use "Bond of Destiny" again, you will surely be able to find clues to the next card.

But now is not the time.

He opened the card book, placed the "Indulgence Coupon" on a page of the card book, and whispered: "Thank you everyone, come back and have a rest."

All of a sudden.

The people who stole the cards all returned to the card book.

Liu Ping collected the card book, carried the head and continued on his way.

About halfway through the journey, suddenly, a faint sound reached his ears.

"Come...help me..."

Liu Ping stopped.

The sound seemed to come from the woods on the left.

who is it?

He strode into the woods, looked around, and soon saw a faint trace of blood on the ground.

Hua Qingkong suddenly said: "This blood is the blood of the devil, be careful."

Liu Ping nodded, followed the blood trail and walked deeper into the woods, and soon found a place covered by lush branches and leaves.

"...It doesn't seem like our mission." Liu Ping said, crossing his arms.

Zhao Chanyi suddenly appeared, swung the knife casually, and then disappeared behind Liu Ping.

The sword light flew out and chopped off all the branches and leaves, revealing a shallow hole behind it.

A devil was lying in a hole in the ground, with shocking wounds all over his body.

When it saw Liu Ping, its eyes suddenly lit up and it said: "Quick, come and give me a hand, I will reward you well."

As he spoke, a flash of red light appeared on its sharp claws, which flashed and then disappeared.

"It's a devil's art that strips away flesh and soul and uses it to heal the wounds on one's own body."

Yana whispered in Liu Ping's ear.

Liu Ping understood, stood there and said: "Master Devil, I'm afraid you will kill me."

"No, come here quickly - look, as long as you give me a hand, I will give you this identity card, and you won't have to participate in the subsequent competitions at all."

The devil took out a card with strange symbols and displayed it in front of Liu Ping's eyes.

In the void, lines of small words quickly appeared next to the card:

"Slave card."

"Identity cards."

"With this card, you automatically become the slave of a certain big devil."

Liu Ping looked as usual and said: "Master Devil, your injuries are too serious. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. Why don't you use the healing potion I carry with me."

He reached behind his back, pulled out the holy water card, and released it.

A bottle of holy water appeared, and then a dexterous hand emerged from the void, quickly uncorked the bottle, poured it into the kettle, and then handed it back to Liu Ping's hand.

"It's my kettle." Libertas said in a low voice.

"I blessed the water with some healing skills." Yana whispered.

Liu Ping took out the kettle from behind his back.

"This is healing water specially designed to heal wounds. Drinking it will make the wounds heal."

The kettle was thrown.

There was a look of confusion on the devil's face, and he hesitated: "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I only have one bottle like this. I spent all my money to buy it. If you don't drink it, please give it back to me." Liu Ping said.

The devil uncorked the bottle and smelled it——

"What a strong aura of healing magic!"

It was overjoyed and immediately raised its neck and drank the holy water.

Soon, the wounds on the devil's body scabbed over.

It's much better!

The devil jumped up, laughed, and said with a fierce look: "Okay! I have recovered a little, but if I want to completely recover, I have to kill-"

Goo!

A long sound sounded from its belly.

The devil paused.

Beads of sweat oozed from its forehead.

"There seems to be something wrong with your healing water -"

It gritted its teeth and said.

Liu Ping suddenly said: "Ah, yes, it has passed its shelf life."

"Why do you carry healing water with you that has passed its expiry date?"

"Sir, we who come from slums cannot afford high-end goods."

"What the hell-"

"Greetings, sir! Can you give me that card?"

The devil had nothing to say, so he clasped his legs and limped towards the back of the woods.

Liu Ping stood there and waited quietly.

"This guy is full of evil, why not kill him." Zhao Chanyi suggested.

"Don't worry - it's very strange. It's obviously a devil. Why does it appear here with wounds all over its body? I can't figure it out," Liu Ping said.

For a while.

The devil moved out from behind the bushes with numb legs.

Liu Ping shrank his hands behind his back and gently shook the indulgence note.

The card disappears.

Sacred Secret Card: Indulgence——

launch!

The devil was unaware and chanted a spell loudly.

Soon, a luminous door appeared in the void and began to open gradually.

The devil breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Finally saved...but I still need to regain my strength..."

It strode towards Liu Ping.

"Here you go, this is your ID card that will lead you straight to the entire selection. Thank you for saving my life."

The devil handed the card to Liu Ping and his eyes fell on his neck.

"Thank you, sir!"

Liu Ping caught the card and looked down at the symbols and patterns on the card.

"Sir, can I go directly to the roof with this card?" he asked.

No reply.

Liu Ping raised his head in surprise.

I saw the devil's sharp claws piercing its own neck, and the ferocious expression on its face had frozen, with only a little confusion remaining in its eyes.

It kills itself.

——The panda doll on Liu Ping’s waist couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Even if it is an existence that is not afraid of death, if it has to die and die every day, it will have psychological shadow.

At this time, the light door finally opened completely.

Liu Ping looked at Guangmen and then at the dead devil, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"A magic door has been opened - where are we going?"

He thought to himself.

Suddenly, a rumbling voice came from the light door:

"Poor, my servant, you died like this in order to resist the erosion of monsters?"

"May you rest in peace in the eternal night."

The voice turned and said to Liu Ping:

"Well done, human boy, it seems you helped it kill our enemy at the last moment."

Liu Ping was stunned and slowly lowered his head to look at the head in his hand.

enemy?

Is this sacrificial messenger an enemy of the devil?

What's going on?

The rumbling voice sounded again:

"Needless to say, you have already obtained the slave card, which proves that my servant recognized you at the last moment."

"The situation is now urgent."

"Young man, I allow you to become my slave."
