The World of Pain.
Three silhouettes quickly reformed their bodies beside a bonfire. Large amounts of flesh-colored threads wove together, and in a matter of seconds, they reformed into three bodies in gray robes.
"Thud."
Jill staggered and fell to her knees. Her pupils dilated, and she gasped for air.
The other two were not much better. The woman clutched her chest and leaned against the wall. She did not say a word, and her breathing was ragged.
The man of ice and snow, the snowman, stood where he was. An amber brown test tube appeared in his hand. After opening the bottle, he tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp.
"How tragic. If we hadn't entered this place in that instant, our physical bodies in the real world would have been completely destroyed. " The snowman stood up once more. His injuries had already healed completely, but the shadow of being defeated in that instant still lingered in his mind for a long time.
"Cyril, we can't do anything for now. Even if the other two arrive, it'll be useless," Jill said helplessly. Jill said helplessly, "Let's report this to the higher-ups. This matter is no longer something that we can decide."
"Report …" Fang hesitated and was about to speak.
"Bam!"
The wall beside the bonfire exploded.
A silhouette emerged from the dust and rubble. It was Lu Sheng, whom they had just met in the real world.
"F * ck! Run!! " The snowman did not say anything. He did not plan to resist at all. Although a two-tier person would definitely not die in this place, no one liked to fight against a completely hopeless opponent. Because they would only be tortured.
The other two clearly had the same thought. The three of them split up as if they had a tacit understanding.
"Puff."
The bonfire was extinguished by Lu Sheng's foot, and hot white smoke splattered everywhere.
"I just want to ask a few questions. Is there a need to run so fast?" He watched speechlessly as the three of them disappeared from this shabby wooden house in the wilderness in the blink of an eye.
After extinguishing the bonfire, he strode out of the broken wooden house.
"Roar!!"
A pale, translucent giant tentacle smashed into him from above.
The tentacle seemed to have smashed into an illusion, and passed through Lu Sheng's body.
Lu Sheng raised his head. In front of him, a huge monster covered in translucent pale tentacles appeared.
The upper half of the monster was like a huge moldy orange, and its surface was covered with wrinkled skin. Huge tentacles wrapped around its lower body. It was a bloated and fat humanoid torso that was more than three meters tall.
It was as if a giant with the head of an octopus was roaring at him.
"Partner?" Lu Sheng stared at the monster in front of him.
What answered him was a gigantic tentacle that swept over in a frenzy.
Bang!!
The small wooden house collapsed, looking like a small wooden block in the dark and wide plain.
Lu Sheng allowed the monster to keep waving its tentacles at him. He calmly walked towards the monster and extended his hand. Before the monster could react, he brushed past it and continued to walk in the direction of the three people's auras.
Boom!!
The monster behind him froze for a moment, then suddenly let out a miserable howl. Its entire body suddenly shattered like a glass sculpture.
A large amount of transparent liquid gushed out of the monster's body and flowed everywhere on the ground.
In Lu Sheng's Pain Perception, this was a scenery that he had never seen before in the late night.
He had only seen the White and Black Dioceses before, but this was the first time he had seen such a large plain.
There were countless black grasses swaying like waves on the dark plain. Above his head was a dim, purplish-red moon, giving off an ominous feeling.
Stepping on the ground, Lu Sheng felt as if he was stepping on the soft, warm fur of some animal.
An ethereal female voice slowly floated over from the distant sky.
The dark clouds in the night sky slowly covered the purple moon, and the wind began to pick up.
The black grasses under his feet began to grow wildly and entangle like shadows.
A large amount of black grasses quickly weaved into a slender and somewhat thin figure in front of Lu Sheng.
In the darkness, the figure reached out its hand, and an object that looked like a pocket watch hung down from its hand.
Whoosh.
The pocket watch made the sound of the second hand ticking.
The ground began to shake.
With a leap, Lu Sheng retreated more than ten meters away. He watched the scene unfold before him silently.
"I've found it … I've found what I've been hoping for …" A female voice came from a dark figure.
"Top-notch honey wine, mellow milk, plump fruits, and sweet … souls …"
Whoosh!!
In an instant, the head of a giant silver-white eagle arched out of the ground behind the black figure holding the pocket watch.
It was the head of a giant white eagle that was as tall as a person. It let out a low cry and silently shot up from the ground, bringing with it a large amount of wet soil.
The giant eagle's huge body and wide wings seemed to be made of the hardest steel, impenetrable.
The reality was the same. In the instant he saw the giant eagle, Lu Sheng flashed dozens of times like lightning, dodging in different directions.
Just as he dodged, a large number of silver feathers silently nailed into the place where he was standing.
Lu Sheng dodged all the way, and the feathers kept shooting at him. The area covered by these feathers was too large, even if he used the Phantom Fist, there was no way to completely avoid them.
So he could only use a stronger speed, and quickly dodged from the plains near the giant eagle.
Whoosh!
The giant eagle waved one of its wings, cutting a deep ravine on the ground where Lu Sheng was standing.
But the moment it raised its wing again, a blurry figure appeared under its abdomen.
"Phantom Fist, Rising Sun."
Lu Sheng's arms didn't move, and his palms joined together. In an instant, countless afterimages of palms appeared, turning into a light shadow, and landed on the giant eagle's abdomen.
Boom!!
The giant eagle's abdomen caved in, and it howled in pain. It flapped its wings and soared into the sky, trying to get away from the ground.
But Lu Sheng leaped, and his right arm was like a saber, lightly slashing.
The highest profoundness of the Assassination Fist was hidden in each and every move.
It seemed like a random attack, but in fact, it hit the most vital and fatal meridian.
The giant eagle's hard right wing fell silently.
It pounced toward Lu Sheng in a frenzy. But its left wing was cut off by Lu Sheng's palm again, and its body flew forward, crashing into the wide black plains.
Bang!
The giant eagle turned into countless transparent pieces, and suddenly exploded.
Lu Sheng's expression was calm, and he was about to continue chasing in the direction where the three escaped, but he saw many black figures holding pocket watches on the plains far away.
With just a casual glance, there were more than ten black figures holding pocket watches wandering slowly on the plains.
"If every one of them can summon a giant eagle, then this place is much more dangerous than the White and Black Dioceses." Lu Sheng stopped in his tracks.
Delayed by the monster and the giant eagle, he could still smell the three people's scent, but now it had completely disappeared.
In the vast black plains, only the silent black figures of the pocket watches were wandering slowly.
Lu Sheng frowned, snorted, and retreated from the Pain Perception.
…
…
Isla tightened the black cloak on his body, and with the bright moonlight, he looked at the black castle in the distance.
The dark castle had a twisted, winding, and spiky top. It was surrounded by a large forest of sturdy green trees.
These ancient and strong green trees were like giant treants, waving their powerful roots and branches, surrounding the huge ancient castle.
The plants and the building were in perfect harmony.
"This should be it …" Isla shook off the dust on his cloak, grabbed the hilt of the black short sword at his waist, and quickly walked toward the castle.
The castle door opened slowly, and a black-haired woman in a black maid dress was waiting by the door, smiling at him.
"Welcome, guest from afar."
Isla glanced at her, and pressed with his right hand.
Bang!
The maid's head exploded on the spot, and all sorts of metal parts scattered on the ground.
Walking into the castle door, there were black sculptures of all sorts of beasts on both sides.
Among the beasts, there was a giant eagle with a snake's tail, a three-headed giant horse that could spit fire. There was also a soaring dragon.
As for the other sculptures, most of them were strange creatures that even Isla could not recognize.
He walked into the corridor between the sculptures, and walked straight into the open dark hall.
He had only taken a few steps when the sculptures began to move, struggling and twisting on the stone pedestals.
Amidst the cracking sounds of stone, large pieces of black stone fell to the ground, and the beasts slowly walked down from the stone pedestals.
Isla's expression was solemn. Just by looking at the materials of these monsters, and the dull sound they gave off when they flapped their wings, he knew that they were not ordinary characters.
Rip!
Suddenly, a black line flashed in front of Isla.
He hurriedly retreated, but he was still one step too late. His clothes and skin were slowly cut open, and a long, thin cut appeared on his chest.
A faint smell of blood spread from the wound.
Following the trail of the black line, Isla immediately saw that it was the two tall sculptures of men in black who guarded the hall door.
They held brass harps in their hands, and every time they plucked a string, a black line would shoot out.
"What a grand welcome ceremony …" Isla murmured, and suddenly rushed forward.
No matter what, he had to save Jasmine!
…
…
"Another breakthrough …"
Under the huge white waterfall, Lu Sheng raised his head and looked at the white waterfall. He sighed softly.
As his adaptability to the rules increased, his speed of adapting to this universe increased as well.
Every time, he could increase his rank by more and more.
His power was like a snowball, growing bigger and stronger as it rolled.
A huge amount of Mental Energy was spent, but he did not think it was a waste.
In the end, the Mental Energy would turn into the incarnation of this universe, and return to his main body, becoming a part of his main body's power.
"Chief, I've found it. Apart from the Church of Hope, we've obtained some information by bribing other places with resources. The three people who attacked you before. They're members of the Dark Sanctuary in the Isis Church. "
Old Buck's voice came from the earpiece.
"Dark Sanctuary?"
