Infernal Artist

The world full of bones suddenly disappeared.

Liu Ping and Delia returned to the cave.

Those ghostly figures flew around the two of them for a while, then gradually disappeared into the void and disappeared without a trace.

"Huh? Why are they gone?" Delia asked in confusion.

"You are a senior and you don't even know. How can I, a newcomer, know?" Liu Ping said.

"It's strange... Should we go back to the camp now or continue exploring?" Delia said to herself.

A voice suddenly sounded from the darkness:

"Keep exploring! Never give up like this."

Alande walked out of the void, his handsome face looking ferocious and twisted.

"I have exhausted all my merits and there is no way out."

He said in a desperate tone.

Delia and Liu Ping both fell silent.

As Alande said, he wasted most of the day, but in the end, all his achievements were exhausted.

If you return to the camp at this time and start accumulating merit again, you will definitely not be able to catch up with the four guys guarding the camp.

They have a lot of merits themselves, and now they will only have more merits.

Arland only had half a day left.

So--

Tonight, the person who is thrown into the transformation pool will definitely be Alande.

"Delia, help me, I am the Sword Master, and I will cooperate with you to fight the invincible - please!" Aland stared at Delia and said in a begging tone.

There was an undercurrent of murderous intent in him.

"Forget it, let's continue exploring." Delia said, pretending not to know anything.

On the Expeditionary Force interface, lines of small words suddenly appeared:

"Aland, merit: 0; apply to rejoin the current mission."

"The leader of the temporary team is: Delia, please decide whether to accept him into the team."

Waited for a breath.

Another line of small words appeared:

"Delia has given permission for Aland to join the team."

After reading these messages, Alan nodded to Delia and said, "Thank you, I owe you."

"Favor? Put away your tricks and go back and work hard to earn merit. Remember to give me 500 merit points. Is it a deal?" Delia asked.

"Deal." Alande smiled.

"Okay, let's move on and see what's ahead." Delia said.

Liu Ping looked at the long sword on Alande's waist.

Juggernaut?

He looks like a sword master on the magic side, and a bit like an ancient sword master on the wild side.

His melee skills should be very high.

Be careful when dealing with...

At this time, Alande calmed down a little and asked doubtfully: "How did you avoid the situation just now?"

"Just now? I guess the team just triggered a trap card. That card was exhausted after killing several people and could no longer maintain the spell." Delia glanced at Liu Ping without leaving a trace and said seriously.

"I see, this seems to be the only reasonable reason... You are really lucky." Alande said.

suddenly.

A voice sounded in Liu Ping's ears:

"Help us."

Liu Ping looked around and saw only the line of small characters that read "Evil-Breaking Dragon Spirit" not far from him.

"Help you? Who are you?" he asked.

"Whatever you come looking for, we are." said the voice.

"It's ridiculous. I only joined the expeditionary force halfway. I just wanted to become stronger." Liu Ping said.

He glanced into space.

A line of small burning words appeared there motionless:

"You put away all your abilities and did not use the strange ability: deception."

Yes.

This is just a test, if the other party really believes it, then it's over.

Sure enough, the voice said: "That's absolutely not the case... You have the title of Saint, so you must not be an ordinary person. Please help us save the green dragon, and we will definitely repay you."

At this point, the voice disappeared.

Liu Ping pretended not to care and glanced outside the cliff.

I saw that the dragon spirit had moved away from the two of them, flying towards the dark abyss, and soon submerged deep under the cliff, out of sight.

How did it go?

Liu Ping was thinking about it when he suddenly felt a bump under his feet.

He moved his feet and looked down.

There was a bronze creation on the ground, and he didn't know what it was. When Liu Ping looked over, it immediately flashed.

interesting.

Liu Ping stretched out his hand and the thing immediately flew into his hand.

Alande and Delia noticed it immediately and turned to look at him together.

"What's wrong?" Delia asked.

"I picked up something..." Liu Ping played with the bronze creation.

I saw that this was a small and exquisite bronze key, carved into a dragon shape on the handle. It looked lifelike and occasionally emitted slight power fluctuations.

Alande and Delia took out a spectacle lens at the same time and stuck it on their left eye.

"It is an authentic dragon treasure key. The magic barrier on it remains intact and has not been used for thousands of years."

Delia looked at the rows of data on the lenses and said.

"That's right. The value of a dragon treasure key in such good condition is inestimable. If it can really open the corresponding treasure house, it will be even more incredible." Alande said.

The two took off their lenses and looked at Liu Ping together.

Alande said with burning eyes: "Delia, I think we can contact-"

Before he finished speaking, Delia interrupted him and said quickly: "According to the Catch-12 of the Expeditionary Force, even trainee members have the right to explore and obtain treasures. Congratulations, Liu Ping, for this key You found it."

On the expeditionary force sequence interface, a line of small words quickly appeared;

"Temporary captain Delia reported this harvest:"

"Item: Dragon Treasure Key,"

"Discovered by: Liu Ping."

A look of helplessness appeared on Alande's face.

He is no longer the captain, so he has no right to assign names to team members and kill them.

More importantly, Delia has reported this discovery to the headquarters.

So, if you want to obtain this key privately, there is almost no room for maneuver.

"Liu Ping, your gains should also go to the partners who acted together in the exploration. You should share some of the merits with us." Alande added.

Liu Ping looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Of course."

He weighed the key in his hand and continued: "I am just a trainee member. I don't need to participate in the merit assessment tonight, so I might as well take it out and give it to you."

Alande's eyes lit up, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Well done, Liu Ping, I saw you right."

Delia glanced at Liu Ping and said through a message: "Remember Arland, don't mess with him easily. If I didn't report it to the headquarters immediately, he would definitely find a way to kill you and snatch the bronze key in your hand to exchange for it." Merit.”

"You've been helping me, thank you very much." Liu Ping said.

"You're welcome. You should have saved me just now. I'm not that stupid. I can see the clues." Delia said.

As soon as their eyes touched, the two quickly separated.

"Arland, I can give up this key completely - but I have always been interested in dragons. Can you give me the green dragon?" Liu Ping asked.

"It died last night, and only the body was left." Alan said with regret.

"What? Why didn't you say anything last night?" Delia said in surprise.

"How did I know this would happen? I just tortured it briefly, and it died - maybe the injuries on its body were too severe." Alan said with regret.

Liu Ping suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart.

As soon as this feeling came, he had some guesses.

"Even if you die, give it to me and I will take out the key and you and Delia will share it," Liu Ping said.

"No problem." Alan took out a card and threw it to Liu Ping.

Liu Ping caught the card and took a look, only to see a green dragon corpse covered in blood lying on it.

Lines of burning small characters quickly unfolded before his eyes:

"Card: Green Dragon of Death (False)"

"This is a dead green dragon. It cursed itself before it died, praying not to let the enemy get any benefits from it, so its body has rotted and has no value."

"——Of course, all deceptions will be uncovered in front of you, so this card is fake."

"Here's what the cards really look like:"

"Card: Sleeping Green Dragon."

"The green dragon is a dragon that is proficient in deception, illusion, and dream magic. It has restrained all its aura and is recuperating in the dream, waiting for the opportunity to escape from Arland."

really……

It is said that dragons are very scheming and do not die so easily. Now it seems to make sense.

Liu Ping sighed with regret: "It's a pity that it's dead and rotten, so it's completely useless."

As he spoke, he put the cards into the card book.

In order to prevent this dragon from causing any trouble again, he directly transmitted the message:

"No need to pretend to be dead anymore, the Evil-Breaking Dragon Spirit told me to save you."

On the card, the green dragon was motionless.

But a voice message sounded in Liu Ping's ears: "I can feel your name, Your Majesty the Saint. Just to be safe, I'd better pretend for a while to prevent your two treacherous companions from noticing."

"Whatever you want." Liu Ping said.

He put the card book away directly.

"The dragon corpse has been given to you. You can hand over the key, Liu Ping." Alande said with a smile on his face.

Liu Ping threw the key over.

Alan caught it, turned it over in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally said with a sigh of relief: "No problem, it seems I don't have to go to the transformation pool tonight."

He became more motivated again.

"A rotten dead dragon exchanged this key from Liu Ping. This is a bit unethical." Delia said.

"It's okay. We will give him some merit points as compensation later." Alan waved his hand coolly.

"That's pretty much it. We can't treat our own people badly." Delia said with satisfaction.

"Humph, you look quite like a captain - let's go down and see what's here." Alande said.

He had already taken the lead and flew forward. Delia also started to move forward. Liu Ping suppressed his thoughts and continued to move forward with the two of them.

The long steps wind and descend along the mountain, all the way into the dark abyss that cannot be seen to the bottom.

It took the three of them almost an hour to reach the end of the steps.

This is an extremely deep underground, and the surrounding rock walls are covered with cold frost.

Two huge bronze doors stand on the mountain wall. The doors are covered with various ancient murals, showing the glory of the Dragon Clan.

"It's a dragon treasure."

Alande said in a hoarse voice.

He stepped forward with the key in hand, thrust it into the keyhole, and twisted it hard.

Rumble, rumble——

The door suddenly opened.
