"Wolf Brother, do you think we can still complete this mission?" Wang Dali's eyes were filled with deep worry, his face pale to the point of being frightening.
This mission was truly bizarre. Out of the eight of them, only he and Wolf Frenzy remained at this point.
As for the others, they had mysteriously vanished without a trace.
If one were to ask what the most primal fear of humanity is, each person's answer might differ. However, for Wang Dali at this moment, his greatest fear was that eerie sound of footsteps.
He clearly remembered the sound of handmade shoes scraping against the ground, and now, each time that sound echoed, it sent chills down his spine, as if an incredibly dark presence was tightly wrapping around him, making him tremble even under the blazing sun.
"Cough cough cough..."
It sounded like a ten-year-old old lady shuffling along, coughing as she walked.
"Huff huff!"
In the empty courtyard, there were intermittent sounds of labored breathing, as if someone was right beside him, leaning on his shoulder, a cold breath brushing against him that made his hair stand on end.
Accompanied by boundless fear, the moisture within his body felt like a damp towel being gently wrung out. With every icy breath that echoed in his ears, beads of sweat emerged, turning into cold droplets.
"Wolf, Wolf Brother, where are you?"
A chilling sensation inexplicably rose behind Wang Dali, causing him to shiver in fear.
But who could tell him how someone who had just been right beside him could suddenly disappear?
How could Wolf Frenzy, whose attributes had long surpassed thirty points, vanish without a sound?
His werewolf transformation?
What on earth is happening?
Where did everyone go?
"Hehe... la la la la la..."
At that moment, a lively and cheerful girl's voice rang out, sounding like laughter mixed with singing.
Wang Dali, terrified, clutched his collar tightly, holding his breath as he suddenly turned his head. In an instant, his pupils constricted to the size of pinpricks.
How is this possible...
When did clear footprints appear on the ground...?
Lowering his gaze slightly to examine the nearest footprints, Wang Dali's hair stood on end; the prints were only ten centimeters away from him!
"Bang!"
Wang Dali stumbled and fell to the ground, fearfully watching as the distinct footprints slowly approached him, his face turning from pale to a shade of gray.
"Hehehe..."
He wanted to scream for help but suddenly realized he seemed to have lost even the strength to shout. Wang Dali was on the brink of collapse as he felt a pair of cold hands gripping his ankle. With a giggle, the voice said, "Hehe, I got you, wooden man..."
This was the last voice that Wang Dali heard.
He was unconscious, but someone was not pleased.
"Tch!"
Ye Kai said with a face full of displeasure, "I thought he would be impressive, but before the story even started, he was already taken down. Is this really a seasoned player who has experienced at least four storylines in Nightmare Space? This is just pathetic!"
Pathetic my foot!
Is there anyone in this world more ruthless and cunning than you, Boss?
A dignified Martial Arts True Immortal actually resorted to using Mental Hypnosis on someone who was barely at the mid-level of the first tier, and still considered them weak?
Pharmacy Bilian, right?
At this moment, Liu Zhongliang and Fan Jian, two big men, could only silently curse in their hearts instead of actually shouting out loud.
The two squeezed into a corner, exchanged glances, and lowered their heads in silence. It wasn't that they didn't want to speak; it was simply that they had no choice. If they showed themselves, they would be done for!
This Cao Dan mission world was truly filled with traps everywhere!
How could there be Monsters in the Divine Eagle couple's world, and why was there a Martial Arts True Immortal here?!
Why are there so many Strange Creatures in this world!!!
Liu Lingling, the girl, was not cast aside in a corner, but for now, she could only serve as a maid.
It wasn't that Ye Kai had any perverse intentions to play tricks like a ghost; rather, he aimed to take advantage of this opportunity to scare these people into a state of shock, keeping their minds perpetually tense. This way, when the time came, it would be easier for the deity to invade their brains.
One must understand that these individuals from that place bore something akin to a mark on them—something incredibly troublesome to deal with. Thus, he needed more "materials" for the deity to study.
With the deity's current abilities, confronting the owner of this mark was out of the question. Even if they were merely noticed or exposed, it would likely lead to more trouble.
According to the girl’s speculation, this was a trace of the True God’s mark. Although it was just a tiny bit, it was certainly not to be underestimated.
In this world, finding someone might seem as difficult as climbing a mountain for others, but with the deity present and armed with numerous Multifunctional Detectors, locating a few outsiders from this era was merely a matter of time.
"We don't want to, but we can't. Once we speak, we will be utterly annihilated; it's true death!" Liu Zhongliang said with a face full of despair.
If he had known entering Nightmare Space would lead to such a life, who in their right mind would want to come here?
Every mission was fraught with peril; each time they fought with all their might. But this time...
Glancing at his sister, Liu Zhongliang thought in despair that perhaps their parents would never see their precious daughter again!
"Senior, we truly are not deceiving you. You've seen the power of the mark," Liu Lingling said, nearly biting her lip until it bled upon seeing her brother's hopeless expression.
Ye Kai glanced at the two burly men crouching in the corner and smiled slightly. "Don't worry; you three have done your part for This Sect. As long as This Sect finds a way into that place, you will naturally be allowed to leave."
"As for what you don't want—it's simply that the master of that place forbids information from leaking out. However, do you really think such methods can stop This Sect?"
"Transcending the cycle of reincarnation and the realm of sentient beings, ha, this is truly fascinating. I suppose the strange power within you all comes from that controller, right?"
"Tasks for rewards, rewards for abilities. I must say, this controller has piqued This Sect's curiosity. I can't wait to meet 'it' soon."
Upon hearing these words, Liu Zhongliang, Fan Jian, and the ever-stoic Liu Lingling standing behind Ye Kai immediately felt a chill run down their spines.
Just from a single word 'cannot,' so much could be inferred?
Isn't that a bit too much?
Little did they know that Ye Kai had long been fantasizing. Whether that place is called the ‘Main God Space’ or the ‘Nightmare Space,’ it is essentially a unique location established within a true Divine Realm.
As long as one can enter it, as long as they can shield or conceal everything about themselves to avoid detection by that Powerful Being, then Ye Kai is quite confident he can gradually grow stronger.
Until he truly masters the powers of divinity and completely overwhelms that Powerful Being!
However, what kind of existence that Powerful Being truly is, or whether 'it' cultivates so many insects for faith or for something else in other worlds, remains unknown.
After all, everything Ye Kai currently knows is merely his reasoning with the divine.
Although he is puzzled as to why completing tasks grants rewards.
Why does altering the storyline yield rewards?
Aren't the rewards issued by that Powerful Being?
Why exchange rewards for the bugs' abilities? What could be the deeper meaning behind it? What exactly does it want to gain from this?
Suddenly, Ye Kai raised an eyebrow. As the deity appeared out of nowhere, he immediately asked, "So, have you discovered anything?"
"I'm so frustrated! I generally understand the function of this mark, but the most crucial aspect remains completely opaque. What is it? It feels like a 'Faith Rice Ball'!" The deity frowned, visibly irritated.
"A Faith Rice Ball?" A spark lit up in Ye Kai's eyes.
"Yes, exactly! I can't comprehend why it resembles a Faith Rice Ball. Yet, it's not quite the same; it seems more complex and lacks the cleanliness and purity of a Faith Rice Ball!" The deity explained while pacing back and forth.
Like a Faith Rice Ball? More complex and less pure?
Could it be the Vengeful Power mentioned in legends?
"Vengeful Power?"
The deity closed her eyes to sense something again. Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "Ah!!! I understand now! This is simply a big mishmash!!!"
"These marks on people not only contain a thread of pure power rules injected by the ruler of that place, but surrounding this thread of power rules is a simple combination of runic sequences. The other Strange Energy consists of various emotions."
"For example, the energy that is materialized from emotions like fear, rage, and joy..."
"Not only that, but there's also the flavor of Faith Rice Ball in there. Wow, amazing! The deity is truly incredible; they guessed it right away. Hooray, hooray..."
When the deity spoke these words, they did not choose to avoid Liu Lingling and the others. Therefore, upon hearing this, they were all bewildered.
The three of them displayed expressions that suggested they didn't quite understand but felt it was impressive nonetheless!
However, for Ye Kai, once the deity unveiled such things, their mysterious nature dissipated significantly.
Heh heh!
Watching the Girl beaming with joy and excitement, Ye Kai stepped forward and lifted her high into the air with both hands. "Oh deity, you are truly my lucky star! This time on our smuggling journey, it's all up to you! You must simulate that kind of mark for me. Then we can go... heh heh..."
It was only then that Ye Kai suddenly remembered there were three outsiders nearby and abruptly stopped his sentence.
Looking at the three who showed a hint of disappointment, he couldn't be bothered to care too much. After all, in a little while, he would be able to smuggle himself to that place.
Perhaps these three still had some value to utilize!
After all, they had been in that world for quite a long time. Heh heh...
