In the darkness of the night …
A circle of white flames surrounded them, giving them a bewitching and beautiful appearance.
However, when Angeline and Dofran looked at the flames, their bodies trembled. Those flames represented powerful undead spirits.
When night fell, or when the dark red light dimmed, the inner world became a paradise for vengeful spirits.
"This number …"
Dofran looked at the seemingly endless sea of undead spirits, a look of joy on his face. "Thankfully, they cannot come in!"
While escaping, they were fortunate enough to find this black mountain.
For some unknown reason, even the most ferocious vengeful spirit Tyrant Vengeful Spirits did not dare to enter it. Thus, they were given a chance to rest.
"I think … … there might be danger here. This is too strange! Why are the vengeful spirits afraid to come here? "
Angeline frowned as she observed her surroundings.
This black hill stood alone on the plains. The black stones were as smooth as a mirror, like a black mirror, reflecting the fire outside with a mysterious halo.
"Or … … maybe, it is because there is no soil here!"
Jack, who was beside her, added in a timid manner, "Those vengeful spirits appeared from beneath the ground … …"
"Mm, that makes sense!"
Angeline nodded her head. However, the solemn expression on her face did not lessen in the slightest. "However, it is also possible that they do not dare to come here because there is an even more terrifying existence here! At the very least, that existence had stayed here before and left behind an aura to deter the vengeful spirits. "
"Eh? Jack, you are still alive? "
Dofran appeared to have discovered a new continent. "Even the veterans have died, yet you are still alive. You even managed to escape from that level of sea of vengeful spirits … …"
"That might just be due to good luck!"
The smile on Jack's face disappeared and he slowly retreated to the edge of the mountain.
"Enough. At a time like this, are we still going to fight amongst ourselves?"
Angeline rolled her eyes at Dofran. Then, she turned to Jack and said, "No matter what, after going through this punishment instance dungeon, we will no longer continue with the farming mode. Thus, you can become our new member. Do you still remember our guild warehouse? All the savings there now belong to the three of us! "
She purposely emphasized the last few words with an indescribable allure. "Think about it, that's the accumulation of our team after more than ten mission worlds!"
Although most of the resources in the party storage had been exchanged for the Cross Starfall, Angeline obviously wouldn't say it out loud.
"Him?"
Dofran narrowed his eyes.
"Dofran!"
Angeline's expression turned solemn. "We need to unite now! Do you want to die here? "
"Alright!"
As if he had thought of something, Dofran mumbled a few words, but in the end, he acquiesced, "You're lucky, kid."
"What an honor!"
Jack seemed extremely grateful as he slowly leaned against a rock and sat down. "I wonder if the two esteemed lords could grant me some food. You know, I'm really starving …"
"Of course!"
Angeline tossed a piece of bread to him with a smile. After so many people died, the supplies they had were enough to last them for half a month.
However, she looked outside. Amidst the ghostly flames, the sea of undead was like a tide, surrounding this place and forming an isolated island.
Thinking about the scene of billions of wraiths surging over once the mysterious power lost its effect, even Dofran and Angeline found it hard to swallow. They looked at Jack, who was wolfing down his food, with a trace of surprise on their faces.
"Wow … I'm so full!"
Jack seemed to be unaware of it. He ate and drank to his heart's content as if no one else was around. He then flicked the bread crumbs on his hand. "Do you need someone to keep watch? I can do it, and the two of you can have a good rest. After all, who knows what will happen tomorrow? "
"No need!"
Dofran rejected coldly.
What a joke! Who could sleep peacefully under such an inhumane environment of so many wraiths?
However, neither he nor Angeline noticed that on the rock Jack was leaning against, a faint black air slowly entered Jack's back like a swallow returning to the forest, causing a trace of dark red to appear at the bottom of his eyes.
…
On the second day, Angeline was delighted to find that the wraiths surrounding the Black Rock Mountain had disappeared without a trace.
However, these three Reincarnators were still like frightened birds, not daring to take even half a step away from the Black Rock Mountain.
It took them another day to complete the exploration of the Black Rock Mountain and found a cave. They were prepared to stay there for half a month of punishment.
Perhaps because their misfortune had already ended on the first day, nothing happened for more than ten days in a row. No matter how many wraiths came at night, they only dared to linger around the Black Rock Mountain and did not dare to cross it.
As the date of return approached, Angeline and Dofran became more and more nervous. They knew that this Black Rock Mountain must have a secret, but they did not dare to go out and find another suitable place to stay.
In the blink of an eye, it was the last night before their return.
The stars in the sky that were formed by the corpses of the gods faded, and the entire continent fell into darkness again.
Under the night sky, the bone-white ghostly flames were even more obvious.
Dofran was almost used to it.
"Tsk tsk!"
He lay at the edge of the Black Rock Mountain and carefully observed the number of wraiths around him. It seemed that because of their attraction, the number of wraiths surrounding this place had increased.
"Seven Tyrant Wraiths, a dozen Death Emissaries, and a dozen Undead Knights. They can almost form an army …"
Dofran opened his mouth and laughed proudly. "But so what? Can you do anything to me? Haha … "
"Dofran!"
Angeline was wiping her dagger at the side. She frowned when she heard that. "Don't provoke them! Although low-level wraiths have no memories and feelings, it's hard to say for high-level ones. Necromancy has always been the most mysterious subject. You should have some respect for it. "
"Alright, alright, I got it …"
Dofran said nonchalantly. He then looked at Jack, who seemed to be getting more and more lazy. His expression became even more displeased. "You actually got through the punishment mission so easily. Kid, you're really lucky!"
"Indeed, I also think that I've been blessed by the God of Fate recently! Although misfortune shrouded me at all times before, it has finally fulfilled my wish now. "
Jack, who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, emitting a dark red light. Angeline could not help but feel a chill in her heart.
"Dofran, Angeline!"
Jack took a deep breath and called out their names. There seemed to be some nostalgia on his face. "Once … I was just an ordinary butcher. Although I had an ugly nickname, my days were very fulfilling. I even met a very good wife, until that day in hell came …"
"We had no complaints about being chosen to come to the Overgod's Space. After all, we had already died once. But you actually used her as bait …"
Jack's expression was cold. "From that day onwards, I swore that I would take revenge!"
"Tsk tsk …"
Dofran picked his ears indifferently and shrugged at Angeline. "See, I told you before that these pigs are the most unreliable. If you want to rebuild the SilverWings, you'd better recruit new people."
"Alright, Dofran, I admit that you've won this round!"
Angeline stood up, looked at Jack, and licked her dagger. "Little Jack, now that you've confessed everything, are you preparing to resist? Are you prepared to die? If you dare to resist now, you must have some trump card, right? A powerful tool? Or a exchanged skill? You can give it a try. "
For some reason, even though they knew that Jack was going to betray them, she and Dofran both looked confident.
"Are you prepared to suffer my wrath?"
Jack's voice was low.
"I've never been prepared to accept any punishment!"
Dofran's lips curled into a sinister smile. "And let me tell you a secret … I've killed too many rookies. I don't have any impression of the woman you speak of!"
"You bastard!"
Sure enough, Jack became even more furious.
His true love was crushed to death like an ant. This feeling of disregard made the flames in his heart burn even more fiercely.
But at this moment, he strangely calmed down.
"Angeline, I know your trump card. In addition to being a thief, you're also a poison master! You've already put poison and curses in the food these days, right? "
Jack said in a low voice.
"That's right!"
The smugness on Angeline's face immediately froze. "You discovered all this, but I clearly saw you eat all of it!"
"That's right, and there was nothing left!"
Jack's aura became more and more mysterious. "In return, I'll tell you a little secret. Do you know why I was able to escape from the sea of vengeful spirits that night? It's because this world has a strange power. Those powerful creatures were born from the influence of this power … "
He was obviously a very observant person, to actually discover this phenomenon.
"And why can't we obtain this power? Because we're outsiders, and we're also protected by the Lord God. Naturally, we'll be treated with hostility by the local existences. Of course, these are all my guesses, so I did another experiment to verify it! "
"What experiment?"
Angeline's expression was solemn. She felt that things were gradually getting out of her control.
"I applied to the Lord God to withdraw his protection! … It's very strange, right? But in fact, he really did it … "
Jack smiled coldly. "Perhaps … to protect me, it also consumes its power. If I voluntarily apply to not have this layer of protection, the Lord God will naturally be happy to see it happen, right? Those vengeful spirits seem to have reduced their attention on me because of this … "
His voice became more and more strange, and his shadow was projected on the wall, revealing a strange distortion. "The current me has completely accepted that power … Are you prepared to endure the fear?"
