Chapter 1793 The thing I was most worried about still happened!
"How did Yongye return so quickly?!"
Pan Xiaoxiao rolled over repeatedly under the impact, quickly dissipating the force and regaining her balance.
They found a slightly sunken spot and tried to continue observing the center of the black fog.
However, the situation was worse than she had imagined.
The invisible, distorted energy had already swept across the entire training ground, even overpowering the fate field activated by the goddess in blue and Elisa!
If Pan Xiaoxiao, like the Goddess in Green, possessed a special vision that allowed her to see the trajectory of events, or if, like Elisa, had a keen perception of the fluctuations of fate…
At this moment, she could see that the 'development lines' emanating from everyone had been completely disrupted by that distorted energy!
The intertwined fates of everyone were like water in a pot that had been heated to the extreme, boiling wildly!
The most primal emotions spread from the depths of her heart, once again permeating her entire body.
That stems from the fear of the unknown!
The woman had experienced something similar before.
However, in the past, she had Lu Li by her side and knew clearly that the unknown was on the same side as her.
But now, she has completely stood on the opposite side of that unknown!
"It's that strange Soul King who can't be communicated with..."
Pan Xiaoxiao's lips trembled as she murmured to herself.
Her worst fears came true!
The Soul King Flame Shell Geoduck, which once brought positive benefits to Earth, has now become a tool for Eternal Night to seize control of the overall situation!
"But... but Lu Li mentioned that the Soul King is clearly not entirely under control, so why did Yongye dare to release him at this time..."
"Could Lu Li be wrong?"
"In fact, Eternal Night has already completely controlled the Flame Shell Geoduck?"
Pan Xiaoxiao's clear thoughts instantly became chaotic.
Without her even realizing it, her talent ability [Battlefield Insight] was forcibly shut down.
A feeling of powerlessness enveloped my entire body!
In the woman's rapidly blanking mind, only one most basic understanding remained—
If only we had a Soul King to help us on this side of Earth.
Not long after Pan Xiaoxiao realized this, a certain spot on the battlefield suddenly caught her attention.
It's like a tiny, inconspicuous grain of sand on the roadside whose presence is instantly exaggerated and amplified, turning it into a rumbling, rolling boulder.
The sudden turn of events forced Pan Xiaoxiao to confront her chaotic thoughts, making her quickly realize that she was being affected by the invisible influence of the distorting force field.
[Battlefield Insight] is back online.
The woman tilted her head slightly and looked toward a certain part of the battlefield.
Amidst the surging waves of black mist, a corpse was being covered and buried by the constantly rising dust.
That was Lin Qinyue's body.
Strictly speaking, that was Lin Qinfeng's body, Lin Qinyue's older sister.
However, Lin Qinyue's soul usually resides within it.
"Lin Qinfeng..."
Pan Xiaoxiao stared blankly, muttering to herself.
Her quick thinking allowed her to grasp the key points!
"...Lin Qinfeng is a Soul King; she can fight against the Flame Shell Geoduck..."
"But Lin Qinfeng is in the Demon Realm, and she can't get here anytime soon..."
"Wait... Lin Qinyue's body... that is, Lin Qinfeng's body, should still be carrying Lu Li's mythical quality item, [Desecrating Demon Cave]..."
"Lu Li once mentioned that the [Desecrated Demon Cave] was transformed from the epic-quality item [Living Nest] after being influenced by the power of authority, and its internal situation is exactly the same as the ancient basin in the Demon Realm."
"Furthermore, the item's rank is followed by the words 'awaiting an opportunity for advancement'... It can definitely evolve into an even higher-ranking item..."
"If I advance again, I might be able to truly connect to the Demon Realm..."
"But at this critical juncture, where am I supposed to find the opportunity to advance to the [Desecrated Demon Cave]?!"
The thought abruptly ended there.
Because Pan Xiaoxiao had already approached the corpse and retrieved the [Desecrated Demon Cave] from its storage items.
With just a quick glance, she was surprised to find that the tiny print that had previously accompanied the item's quality had disappeared.
The quality of the props, once a myth, has become a matter of question.
The level of investigation is too low to be identified.
Have you already completed the advanced level?
When did this happen!
Pan Xiaoxiao's mouth was slightly open, her surprise evident.
Completely focused on the [Desecrated Demon Cave], she didn't notice Shi Bashi in the distance, a smug smile on his face...
Go back to one day ago.
Demon domain.
Deep in the wilderness.
Under the watchful eyes of Xing Anlin, Liu Wenjian, and Lin Qinfeng, an aged figure slowly walked out from the 'door' formed by the spatial rift.
He was already quite short, and with his hunched figure, he didn't even seem to be as tall as Xing Anlin's knee.
The bald head exposed in the swirling black mist looked rather comical.
His wrinkled face bore the marks of time, resembling withered tree bark.
But in those bright eyes, there was a clarity and wisdom that was completely opposite to the somber atmosphere.
As the other party stepped out of the rift, Xing Anlin and the others quickly noticed Emperor Gobelin's slightly unsteady steps.
My gaze moved down and finally settled on the other person's left foot, which had been replaced by a small wooden stick.
"Holy crap, your emperor is a cripple?"
Xing Anlin finally couldn't hold back his urge to complain and blurted out:
"What kind of look is this? Is he cosplaying as the pirate captain?"
The moment the words left their mouths, Lin Qinfeng and Liu Wenjian simultaneously sensed the intense killing intent emanating from the armored soldiers not far away!
However, this murderous intent was quickly dispelled by a chuckle.
Emperor Gobelin seemed to have a very good temper.
Far from being angry at Xing Anlin's offense, he responded very respectfully:
"If you're going to cosplay a pirate captain, you'll at least need to add a black eye patch."
"Blanch?" Xing Anlin's narrowed eyes widened rapidly, his tone instantly filled with intense curiosity:
"You old Gobertin, you're something else, you actually caught my joke?"
"Hehe, I've done quite a bit of preparation in order to help Lord Lu Li," Emperor Gobelin replied with a smile.
He then stepped back and bowed slightly to Xing Anlin, saying:
"This old man, Babayak, greets Lord Xing Anlin."
At the same time, the armored soldiers who were already kneeling on the ground also turned around, their huge bodies getting closer to the ground, showing their humility.
"Oh, no need for formalities, please rise quickly," Xing Anlin replied somewhat flusteredly.
It sounds like a bit of confusion and panic.
But actually, his mouth was practically stretched to his ears.
"Oh my, no wonder I felt a sense of familiarity with you the first time I saw you, old Deng."
"As expected of someone trained by Brother Li, they truly understand my heart!"
