Chapter 431 Scavenger, Craftsman!

I don’t know how long it took, but Suning suddenly opened his eyes, and a tearing pain instantly swept through his body.

"Hiss!" She took a breath of cold air, and cold sweat immediately soaked her torn clothes.

Every inch of muscle and every bone seemed to be crushed and put back together again, and even the simplest breath brought pain like a knife.

“Where is this place?”

She turned her neck with difficulty, and what came into her eyes was a dead gray world.

The air was filled with a stale, musty smell, mixed with some indescribable metallic odor, which made Su Ning frown instinctively.

The ground was covered in a thick layer of grayish-white dust, and each of her weak breaths raised tiny particles.

The dust inhaled into the lungs makes it very uncomfortable. "Cough cough."

Suning endured the severe pain and supported his body with trembling arms.

This simple action made Su Ning's eyes go dark and he almost fainted again.

"My natural talent for self-healing can't even heal my current body?"

She was horrified to discover that the familiar healing energy in her body seemed to be suppressed by some force and could only repair her injuries at an extremely slow speed.

What was even more terrifying was that when she looked down at her body, she saw a horrifying scene -

The arms were covered with dense red lines, which moved under the skin like living things, sometimes contracting and sometimes expanding.

They looked like cracks in flesh and blood, yet strangely emitted a faint red light.

Suning touched the lines with trembling fingers and immediately felt a burning pain.

“What’s going on here?”

She frantically checked her body and found that the red lines had spread all over her torso and limbs, and even traces of their spread could be seen on her neck.

As her emotions fluctuated, the lines glowed brighter and dimmed, as if responding to her fear.

Looking around, the desolate scene made her heart sink.

This was obviously not the Cloud Island she was familiar with, nor did it even look like any system copy world.

The sky was a sickly leaden gray, with no sun or clouds, only an uncomfortable uniform light covering everything.

"The final moment of system transmission."

Suning tried hard to recall the scene before he fell into a coma, the ball of red energy that rushed into his body - the core power of the Small Rule Destruction Dragon.

Now it seems that it was this power that caused the changes in her body, and it was most likely the reason why she ended up here.

She tried to call the system interface, but found nothing in front of her.

There was no familiar blue light screen, no task prompts, and even the most basic attribute panel could not be called up.

This feeling of being completely out of the system's control frightened Suning more than the pain in his body.

Fortunately, Suning can still use its own strength.

She wanted to enter the space and let Oleini heal her.

"We must find a safe place first."

Suning gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up.

Just as she staggered and took her first step, the red lines on her arms suddenly flickered violently with her intense emotions.

At the same time, a low and strange humming sound came from the distance, like a warning from some creature.

She looked up suddenly and saw several blurry figures moving towards her in strange postures on the horizon.

Their movements are not like those of humans, but more like those of puppets controlled by invisible strings, and every step has an uncomfortable puppet-like feel.

The scavenging eyes swept over.

[Monster: Puppet]

Talent: Puppet making.

Skill: Silk Thread Entanglement.

Introduction: A puppet created by some force, who may have been human in his previous life!

"Oh no." Suning's eyelids twitched when he saw these puppets.

Suning instinctively wanted to hide, but found that he had nowhere to escape.

The wasteland was clear at a glance, without even a decent shelter. Worse still, the red lines seemed to be reacting to the presence in the distance, their light growing stronger and stronger, almost penetrating the skin.

At this critical moment, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind her:

"If you don't want to die, don't move. And don't enter the space, otherwise you will die a more miserable death!"

Su Ning's whole body froze, and before she could turn around, she felt a cold hand on her shoulder.

The next second, the surrounding scenery distorted and changed like water waves. When she came to her senses, she found herself in a dim underground cave.

"The system's aura on you will attract scavengers and craftsmen." The old man's hoarse voice echoed in the cave. He slowly lifted the hood of his tattered cloak, revealing a wrinkled face.

The pair of eyes glowing green were particularly eye-catching in the darkness, like two faint ghost lights, looking at Suning unconcealedly, as if admiring a rare treasure.

"I never thought that after so many years, players from other dimensions would appear again in this forgotten world!" The old man's voice was filled with some excitement that was hard to conceal, and his dry fingers unconsciously rubbed his chin.

Suning took a half step back cautiously, his back resting against the cold stone wall.

She quietly activated her scavenging eyes to try to find out the old man's background, but found that her ability was like a drop in the ocean, and she was completely unable to see through the other party at all.

What frightened Suning even more was that the old man seemed to know everything she did.

"Hehehe" the old man laughed hoarsely. Instead of stopping Suning's exploration, he took a step forward with interest, with a strange light flashing in his green eyes. "Look if you want. I haven't met such an interesting little guy in a long time."

Just when Su Ning was in doubt, the green light in the old man's eyes suddenly became brighter, and he scanned her from head to toe.

When the old man saw the three terrifying forces entangled in Su Ning's body, he was obviously stunned.

But what shocked him the most was the [Scavenger] talent hidden deep in Suning's soul!

"Huh? You, little girl, actually possess the talent of a scavenger?" The old man's voice suddenly rose, an expression of disbelief on his wrinkled face. "You really can't judge a person by their appearance! No wonder you appeared in this world. Are you also a player exiled by the system?"

Su Ning was shocked. The Heavenly Secret Lock should have blocked all detections. Even Mu Feiyu's top identification talent could not see through her background.

But this strange old man in front of her actually saw through her secret at a glance!

"Old man, where is this place?" Su Ning suppressed the shock in his heart and prepared to change the subject to ask other questions.

The old man laughed heartily upon hearing this, his laughter resonating in the cave. "Little girl, in the Land of Exile, your little Heavenly Secret Lock can't hide from the gravekeeper's eyes." He pointed to his glowing green eyes, "This is the Eye of True Vision, which can see through all disguises and seals. As for here..."

The old man suddenly lowered his voice and approached mysteriously, "Welcome to the world's garbage dump, the final destination of all things abandoned by the system."

Seeing that Suning still looked confused, the old man sighed and turned to walk deeper into the cave.

"Come with me. This is not the place to talk. Those scavengers and craftsmen have sharp noses and eyes. They will find this place soon."

"Old man, what are these 'scavengers' and 'craftsmen' you mentioned just now?" Suning couldn't help but ask, "And why does my talent as a scavenger surprise you so much?"

Without even turning around, the old man replied, "Here, scavengers are beings who possess the [Scavenger Talent] just like you, while artisans..." He suddenly stopped, turned around, and smiled strangely, "are madmen who attempt to use their artisan talents to create and rewrite systems."

Suning was shocked after hearing this!
