Lin Yun was a bit puzzled and casually said something. The little fatty looked as if he was about to be killed, his body shivering.
"Little fatty, I'm asking you a question, what are you afraid of?"
The little fatty was so scared that he started stuttering.
"Let me think, I can definitely think of something. The Patriarch mentioned it before, I remember that there was a lifeform that entered the cryptic world and escaped, I can't remember …"
Lin Yun facepalmed. If it wasn't for the fact that the little fatty was too stupid to lie, he would have directly gotten rid of him.
But the Leopard-Tailed Insect was the most suitable candidate to look for information. There was no one more suitable than this little fatty. He was pure to the point of stupidity. If it had been another Leopard-Tailed Insect, it wouldn't have been so easy to talk to.
"Think about it slowly. Since someone once escaped from the cryptic world, they can definitely do it now. The power here was definitely stronger in the past …"
He sensed the Natural Demiplane and found that it couldn't be opened. He could clearly feel that the connection was intact, but he couldn't open it. He couldn't even get something from the Demiplane.
It was like he was in a dream. Opening the Natural Demiplane in a dream was simply a delusion.
He wanted to ask Mariana if she knew anything, or ask Anderfa. Anderfa was very mysterious, and even now, Lin Yun didn't know what that guy was. But after following him for so long, he knew that Anderfa definitely didn't have any evil intentions and was only on his side. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel's Incarnation, and he wouldn't have been able to change his identity.
Anderfa's understanding of the previous eras was far clearer than Lin Yun's, it was as if he had personally experienced it.
But now, he summoned the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, but Anderfa didn't appear. It was as if the Spell Wheel didn't have a Magic Tool Incarnation like Anderfa.
The little fatty's chubby face scrunched up as if he was having constipation. Lin Yun shook his head and took out some simple alchemy equipment to start experimenting with some of the materials he had collected before.
After experimenting with the materials one by one and confirming that all the materials were real and not illusions, Lin Yun had a headache. Even the fragments that were trampled by the hooves were all real.
The trees, magical beasts, plants, and ores were all real. Then, was that cow thigh also real?
One of the Lord of Blood Battle's legs had been sealed in the Nightmare Kingdom. Thinking about it, Lin Yun's expression turned ugly. The Lord of Blood Battle was a terrifying Demon God that could still fight even after being dismembered. His Demon God Soul was different from other Demon Gods. The Lord of Blood Battle relied entirely on his body to fight. His Demon God Soul had completely fused with his body. Even if a finger was cut off, he could still fight.
It would be best not to attract the attention of that cow thigh, or he would die a horrible death. Even if that cow thigh was fake, the destruction it caused was real.
Seeing the little fatty wait for an hour as if he was constipated, Lin Yun thought for a bit before taking out some noble desserts stored in his Spatial Ring. These had been prepared for Hughes and Mariana before, but Hughes had switched to eating meat and Mariana didn't like them, so he had forgotten about them.
He took out a noble dessert and gave it to the little fatty. The sweet taste and the fragrance of flowers stunned the constipated little fatty.
He didn't care if this thing was poisonous or something else. He extended a webbed claw and started gnawing on the dessert.
After gnawing on the dessert, the little fatty's constipated face relaxed and he laughed heartily.
"I remember now, I remember now. The tribe leader once said that there was a person who entered the cryptic world and then escaped. After he escaped, he disappeared. The tribe leader said that the person was a specter and after he escaped, he only had half of his body left.
The tribe leader went to chase after him but he couldn't catch up. The tribe leader said that as he chased after him, he disappeared. Then the Lord of Blood War's leg fell off and after that, the undead disappeared. The tribe leader said he was trampled to death by the cow's hoof … "
Hearing the little fatty's words, Lin Yun's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Undead?
A dead that managed to escape from the cryptic world? Since when did the undead have such high intelligence?
Having only half a body was nothing for the undead. As long as the soulfire was not damaged, they wouldn't die even if they only had a head. They could survive by switching to a different body. At most, they would suffer a temporary drop in power.
But since there had been living creatures that managed to escape from the cryptic world, Lin Yun felt slightly relieved. When he heard the word undead, Lin Yun felt like he was reminded of something but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Undead … Could it be the Undead King? Perhaps only the legendary Undead King could have such an ability.
The past that the little fatty mentioned might have been a very long time ago. Perhaps it was something that happened not long after the Lord of Nightmares fell into the Undead Plane, and the Nightmare Kingdom was integrated into the Undead Plane.
Thinking about it gave him a headache, but he couldn't think of anything else. Even with the key to the Nightmare Kingdom, he might not be able to escape from this place.
Time was pressing. If he had enough time, Agalon would definitely be able to escape, but he didn't have that much time. After a few decades or a century, the Leviathan Plane would have already been breached, and an Undead Calamity might have already appeared in Noscent.
The little fatty answered every question, honestly saying everything he knew. Moreover, he always told Lin Yun everything he heard. This gave Lin Yun a lot of information.
After asking what he needed to ask, the little fatty impatiently looked at Lin Yun.
"I already told you, you wouldn't kill me, right? The tribe leader said that outsiders can't be trusted …"
Halfway through his sentence, the little fatty was so frightened that he couldn't continue.
Lin Yun suddenly laughed and patted the little fatty's head. He took out a contract and imprinted his own seal on it before handing it to the little fatty.
"Rest assured, after signing this contract, I won't be chased by your clansmen. It will be valid until I leave the Nightmare Kingdom. At that time, you will be free."
The little fatty didn't dare to retort and obediently opened his mouth. Three tongues came out of his mouth and formed a mark on the contract.
In an instant, the contract turned into a ball of light and dissipated. Lin Yun also felt that the inharmonious aura in the surroundings disappeared, and that instinctive rejection from the world also disappeared.
This was only a simple contract, but the content of the contract wasn't simple. During the contract's validity, the little fatty had to do his best to help, and Lin Yun couldn't get rid of the little fatty.
With this contract, Lin Yun wouldn't have that inharmonious feeling of rejection when he was in the Nightmare Kingdom.
Outsiders who did not belong to the Nightmare Kingdom would inevitably be ostracized. They would inevitably have a different impact on the Nightmare Kingdom and disrupt the original balance. The Leopard-Tailed Insects existed to solve this problem. In the beginning, it was the Lord of Nightmares who deliberately allowed them to exist here. Ever since the Lord of Nightmares fell, the Leopard-Tailed Insects took the initiative to maintain this responsibility.
Because the existence of outsiders would inevitably more or less destroy the existing balance. Even standing there and doing nothing would bring about a negative impact.
Originally, the simplest way to eliminate this kind of effect was to get rid of a Leopard Tail Insect and then take its horn and craft it into a defensive Magic Tool to eliminate this kind of repulsive effect.
However, this method wasn't the best one. The number of Leopard-Tailed Insects was decreasing. Without the Lord of Nightmares, their reproduction rate was too slow, and they couldn't keep up with the speed of killing.
Moreover, if he took a Leopard-Tailed Insect's horn and was discovered by the Leopard-Tailed Insects, they would definitely chase him to the end. After killing one, there would be stronger ones. Finally, there was still the Leopard-Tailed Insect King. In the Nightmare Kingdom, it was always two levels higher than its opponents.
Signing a contract was the best way. It was the best result of mutual compromise, and it could also guarantee that he wouldn't be killed by the Leopard-Tailed Insects while he was here.
After signing the contract, Lin Yun cut off the little fatty's gray and lifeless tail. Without the burden of the tail, the little fatty could at least move his body. His ten-meter-long body slowly shrank until it was only the size of a palm. He looked like a green caterpillar with three duck feet.
However, that comical fat face was still there, but it was frowning.
Lin Yun took out an aristocratic dessert and gave it to the little fatty.
"Don't worry, I only came to save someone. I'll leave after I'm done. If those people are still here, they'll destroy this place sooner or later. I'm also helping you. If you help me find those people, we'll thoroughly leave this place, and your home won't be destroyed. It's beneficial for everyone.
"Once I leave, you'll be free."
The little fatty was squatting on Lin Yun 'shoulder with a worried expression, holding the dessert and eating it with a face full of cream. After eating a few mouthfuls, he beamed with joy, no longer caring about the current situation.
With the little fatty's directions, he would at least have a direction to go in, and he wouldn't have to slowly look for it himself. Just this step would save him a lot of time. Lin Yun had a rough idea of how to find the place, but it would take too much time to find it.
Although the periphery of the Nightmare Kingdom wasn't as big as Noscent during the Era of Gods, it definitely wasn't small. It was definitely a lot bigger than an ordinary Major Plane. It would take a lot of time to find an entrance in this place.
Lin Yun stealthily flew in the direction pointed out by the little fatty. After flying for a few hours, he flew out of the forest. In front of him was an inland sea. It was actually a lake, but it was too big, stretching over ten thousand kilometers.
