"woke up?"

Lin Feng took out a bottle of water, twisted it open, and dripped it onto Si Zang's lips.

"Ha...haha...ha!" Si Zang suddenly sat up, looked at his clothes stained with blood, and then lay back down in fear.

Lin Feng shoved the bottle into Si Zang's hand: "Nanomedical device, even if it digs out your brain for a few seconds, it can put it back in."

"What a pity. Next time, leave Daoist Master a scar, otherwise I won't feel comfortable." Si Zang caught it with his left hand and touched his smooth chest with his right: "Hehehe, is that guy dead?"

Lin Feng sat down to one side: "Two-thirds of his soul has been dead for six hours."

"Two-thirds? Six hours..." Si Zang took a deep breath and sat up, taking a large gulp of water: "How's things going in Taotie City?"

"Something unexpected happened."

Accident?

Seeing how relaxed Lin Feng was, Si Zang didn't take it too seriously: "What's wrong?"

"Langming has zero force in his body."

Si Zang nodded. It was acceptable; it wasn't a big problem. Lin Feng and Xiao Yu could handle it.

"Qiongqi's zero power, one-third."

Si Zang's heart, which had just relaxed, immediately tightened again. One-third of Qiong Qi's power was still a cause for concern.

"Everyone knows that Taotie can grant wishes."

hiss!

A chill ran down Si Zang's spine; things were about to get chaotic!

"Tian Hao's wooden clone contains one-third of his soul."

"It's alright, I've got him figured out." Si Zang wasn't worried about the news at all. With the advantage of his soul, even his physical body was no match, let alone a remnant soul. However, Lin Feng hadn't finished speaking yet.

"He knows a kind of ninjutsu that devours souls to repair himself. According to the information 99 found, it should be an optimized version of the Reanimation Jutsu, which takes over the target's body by possession and then devours the target's soul in the spiritual world."

The power of the Taotie and Qiongqi, these two ferocious beasts, is mostly beneficial to the soul, making them perfect complements to soul ninjutsu.

"He has already devoured hundreds of people."

"Huh?" Shizang's mouth dropped open.

“They are all people who used Taotie to fulfill their wishes.” Lin Feng said, glancing at Si Zang’s stunned expression, and added, “A group of people who would not put up any resistance and would willingly be eaten.”

"Wait a minute." Shizang asked in confusion, "Logically speaking, the people in this world shouldn't be so greedy as to have so many desires, right? Especially in a world without an empire or dynasty."

"They trained them." Lin Feng's voice was extremely calm.

The Taotie City exists to raise the people they need.

"..." Upon hearing Lin Feng's reply, Si Zang fell silent. Although it seemed no more difficult than the previous battle, the darkening of his spirit was even more unbearable.

"They established this base not just for the Taotie, but to squeeze every last drop of value out of this world," Lin Feng said, emphasizing each word. "The spinning top that sealed the Taotie's soul has not appeared."

Si Zang was startled: "It didn't appear. Isn't that a spinning top on Lang Ming's chest?"

Lin Feng replied, "Yes and no, the real soul has been transferred."

"Could it have been taken by other participants?" Si Zang sat back down in his chair. "That guy dared to so openly devour the souls of those who had become Rakshasa, so maybe Taotie's soul is no longer in this world... No, that's not right either, the ability to grant wishes comes from Taotie."

"But how did Langming get infected with Zero Force?"

Lin Feng didn't speak, but took out his tablet and handed it to the other party showing the image of Lang Ming transforming into his zero form.

"Sealing technique?"

Several tadpole-like characters emerged from Langming's head on the screen, and a strange Zero Force emerged from them, taking over his body.

Si Zang scrolled through the screen, getting a general understanding of Lang Ming's situation after entering Taotie City, and then placed the tablet on the chair.

So, Langming's problem existed long before they arrived.

"Lang Ming's mind has been controlled by Zero Force, and the power of Taotie is spreading everywhere. In a few days, all the humans in this area will be affected by Zero Force. Under the disaster, people's hearts are unpredictable. Before long, they will all become Rakshasa. In the end, regardless of whether Taotie is born or not, this world will become a no-man's land."

"At that time... Nightmare Space will no longer issue any missions related to this world." Lin Feng recounted some of the things he had investigated earlier.

Just like the corruption in The Deer and the Cauldron, once the entire world is corrupted by evil forces, such a world will only belong to certain people and will no longer be open to unrelated participants.

A zero-cost method of occupation.

"What a ruthless scheme."

Countless thoughts raced through Si Zang's mind as he stared at the half-human, half-Rakshasa monster frozen on the tablet screen, his fist clenched tightly beneath his sleeve.

"These are us...the participants." Lin Feng thought with emotion, and at the same time, the tablet in his hand suddenly began to vibrate.

As the darkened screen lit up again, a shaky image played out.

Langming, exuding a dark purple aura, stood before the bottomless abyss, gazing with his purple pupils at the enormous, faintly shifting eyeball below.

A moment later, the dark purple aura behind him was transformed by a desire filled with boundless hatred into an extremely arrogant smiling face, which said together with him: "Let my father return!"

"Hehehehe... back."

A low growl echoed within the abyss, and after a while, the anger on Langming's face subsided somewhat, and he turned his head away with satisfaction.

The scene ended, and Lin Feng and Si Zang fell silent once again.

"What exactly are they trying to do? Damn it, do they think they can do whatever they want just because they have some kind of prophecy?" Si Zang said viciously, "If they really succeed..."

Just as Si Zang was about to continue his tirade, he suddenly noticed Lin Feng's strange gaze.

In many ways, he seemed to have cursed himself as well.

"Ha, let me do the calculations first..." Si Zang suppressed his emotions and took out the electronic tortoise shell.

As Lin Feng watched Si Cang point his finger around, he couldn't help but think of the world of The Deer and the Cauldron again. In essence, they were outsiders, and apart from their missions and grudges, they had nothing to do with the good or bad of this world. It was like how they would default to the most destructive and convenient method in order to complete their missions.

Compared to the endless nightmare world, the life and death of a single world seems to become insignificant.

Destroying a world, wiping out all life in it, is like a number, a bubble.

“A deadly trap is hidden…” Si Zang suddenly looked up, shook the electronic tortoise shell in his hand again, and received a similar yet identical answer: “Hiss… Is there something we don’t know?”

After a short while, Si Zang suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Lin Feng, who had been acting strangely, narrowed his eyes, and asked sharply, "Suibian, have you discovered something?"

Upon hearing Si Zang's question, Lin Feng nodded and replied, "Yu has already left Taotie City. I have a way to sneak in, but... is it worth the risk?"

Only two Xia Lan and some points remain in the mission. Once the time is up, they can leave with a full harvest. There's no need to rush the hatred between them and the Yin Yang Flow, and the destruction of this world has no direct relation to them.

The screen spinning in Si Zang's hand stopped again. A flash of worry crossed his eyes as he asked Lin Feng, "The murder plot has been exposed...Suibian, what method have you come up with?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng took out the Book of the Dead and extracted a ball of evil thought composed of zero power: "I can use the characteristics of zero power to become zero. This power transformed from evil thought has something in common with my power. With a little use, it can be transformed into something else."

The research data he obtained from Taotie City gave him a general understanding of the characteristics of this power. Turning evil thoughts into zero power was not a bad thing for him, as his mental matrix and visualization techniques could control zero.

"Go inside?"

Sizang pondered for a few seconds.

A fierce glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes: "Lang Ming's mother!"

During this time, he had already found out the location of Langming's mother.

Si Zang's eyes lit up.

"besides..."

Lin Feng opened his mouth, his thoughts seemingly spanning millennia, until his voice reached Si Zang's ears: "Crimson Corruption!"

If we really have to do it, then we must destroy everything at its root, let the crimson corrupting power annihilate Taotie City, annihilate those evil thoughts, and destroy Taotie and Qiongqi together!
