The hollow cry rang out again, and the two iridescent eyes hidden beneath the deer's head suddenly turned to a corner in the darkness. Under his control, streams of shadow power conjured up a deer-headed monster that resembled him and charged into the distance.
“...”
Hidden within the ghost realm, Lin Feng was immediately triggered by the other party's eyes, causing a flood of memories to rush back. A large amount of information, along with strange fluctuations that pierced through space, stirred up uncontrollable emotions in his mind.
boom!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Shadow Deer Head crashed into the outer layer of the Ghost Domain. Its iridescent eyes, which came with the deer head's charge, broke free from the shadows, passed through the Ghost Domain, and directly entered Lin Feng's front.
"The Curse of the Black Forest"
The iridescent light spun rapidly, and those eyes simultaneously stirred his will, treating his memories like soup that could be stirred at will, creating a delightful aroma.
Memories from dreams, thoughts from recollections, details that were overlooked, and feelings from fantasies—all of these were stirred into Lin Feng's heart, like a chaotic forest of memories. As those eyes materialized in Lin Feng's mind, a giant deer-bodied monster materialized, but its head was that of an upside-down human.
The person's legs turned into antlers, their torso into a deer's cheeks, and their arms, which were wrapped around their shoulders, were spread out as if a deer had opened its mouth, sticking out its tongue "head" hidden in its mouth, and widening its two iridescent eyes.
Kneel down!
Those two pairs of eyes reached out and pressed down on Lin Feng's will.
The power in his palm was solid and heavy, as if a real god had descended, and it pressed down on Lin Feng's shoulder slightly.
Kneel down! Kneel down! Kneel down!
The deer's neighing, its hollow voice echoing throughout the forest of memories, was the sorrow and misery of Lin Feng's life, an attempt to make him submit to the invisible terror of reality.
All he had to do was kneel down, and he could bring faith to Lin Feng's grief, freeing him from the oppression of the world, breaking free from the invisible hands of others, and leading him on a new path of faith, ushering in a pure rebirth.
Kneel down!
The deer head pressed down with both hands again, its palms piercing very close into Lin Feng's soul, bending his will and causing him to howl as if he were about to shatter.
The Spirit Official's Incantation! The Spirit Official's Incantation!
Lin Feng's last moments of clarity were filled with a frantic roar, but he couldn't control his fingers, or even call out to Gui Ke. This dark forest, constructed from memories and his mind, had completely locked him up.
At that very moment, the deer's body rose high, its two hands, which were about to tear Lin Feng's soul apart, raised to their highest point, and roared angrily in front of Lin Feng as its two equally raised hooves appeared.
Kneel down!!!
boom!
Lin Feng's will was ruthlessly pressed to the ground, and his soul seemed to crack open. Those deer hands grabbed his head, pressed him to the ground, and squeezed him frantically, trying to leave a mark.
No!
In that instant, the roar in Lin Feng's heart ignited his soul, and countless things that remained in his memory began to blur one by one, and fragments of his memories floated up.
No, no, no!!!
His hands gripped the deer's hands tightly, and the burning wisps of smoke scattered and landed on the other man.
Those sorrowful, tragic, regretful, regrettable, and fantastical moments... are his life, his experiences, his wealth, the guiding light leading him to a better future, and the most solid steps on his path forward!
Absolutely not, a laughing stock in the eyes of others!
No, it was the most tragic moment of his life!
It was not the sorrow and misery they described!
If he were to give in now, that would be the most tragic moment of his life!
Lin Feng's soul was burning hot, and his shattered soul stood up against all odds. Suddenly, those blurry memories became clear, and everything became much clearer.
The memories that made up the deer-headed monster's body became clearly audible, radiating a scorching aura.
"The Flame of Will: Your memories and past will become your driving force, igniting the flame of your will."
Lin Feng's gaze was fixed on the deer-headed monster. The monster's innate intimidation became meaningless until its iridescent eyes began to dodge, and it frantically broke free from Lin Feng's grasp, escaping from his mind.
As the scene before him returned, the intense pressure in Lin Feng's heart disappeared. His remaining will barely had time to call out to Gui Ke before he fell into a deep sleep.
...
"He's awake! He's awake!" Gui Ke called out excitedly, "Brother, brother?"
Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, and the pain in his soul gripped his mind in an instant.
"This is Si Zang's pill. Take another one." Gui Ke took out a bright red pill, stuffed it into Lin Feng's mouth, and it dissolved instantly.
A cool sensation spread through Lin Feng's body and mind, and the dullness in his soul quickly faded away, turning into a refreshing feeling that permeated his soul.
Gui Ke looked at her curiously: "How is it?"
"There's nothing wrong now." Lin Feng sat up and asked, "How long have I been unconscious...?"
"It's been over an hour, but don't worry, the matter in Candy Village isn't over yet. There's a very, very powerful monster that's holding off those Shadow Soldiers." Gui Ke thoughtfully brought out a tablet and placed the information compiled by Ironclad 99 in front of Lin Feng.
Little Red Riding Hood, a magician who lives inside the belly of a knight in wolf-shaped armor, becomes one of the few people in this world who can obtain eternal life by exploiting the life force of others.
The price is the loss of all humanity.
Lin Feng asked, "Has the mage found this place?"
Their intelligence gathering is not as convenient as that of the native mages, but their movement speed is definitely several times faster than that of the mages.
“Yes, not long ago a mage broke into the shadows, and one of them sacrificed himself…” As Gui Ke spoke, a hint of repulsion appeared on her face: “His own mind released a shockwave that slowed down the shadows.”
Forbidden Technique: Basaka, also known as Brain Damage Technique, attacks enemies by sacrificing a portion of their cognitive function.
After all, it's a world where souls exist, so sacrificing one's brain isn't unacceptable. There are also healing spells and other things that offer the possibility of recovery.
"Are there any particularly powerful mages, or those whose human forms have been excessively demonized?"
“Yes, Hongling said you’ve encountered him before. That person has already come here, along with three other humans who are similar to him but have completely different demonic transformations.”
As soon as Lin Feng moved the tablet in his hand, the recorded footage was displayed in front of him.
The mage we encountered earlier had blackish-red arms, while the other three had bluish-red arms, armored beast hands, and withered hands wrapped in golden bone ornaments.
The scene flashed by, and Lin Feng stood up, slightly opening the entrance to the Ghost Realm to look outside.
"We are ten miles away from Candy Village."
"Where is Tang Hong?" Lin Feng suddenly asked.
Gui Ke looked curiously at Ironclad 99 to the side, who immediately replied, "We recently discovered a group of monsters that might be heading towards Candy Village. Once we've cleared them out..."
"Contact him!" Lin Feng's voice suddenly became fierce, and Ironclad 99 immediately shut his mouth and contacted Tang Hong.
Three seconds later, Tang Hong disappeared without a trace.
Ten seconds later, a car appeared in front of Lin Feng. He and Yu Yi got in and immediately sped off towards the location where Tang Hong had last appeared.
"brother?"
"Their target is Tang Hong!"
Gui Ke's mind raced, recalling the intelligence she had seen before. In the end, she couldn't bring herself to side with Tang Hong, but Tang Hong was indeed the most powerful. If she could take him down, the rest of the people would naturally be less of a problem.
The car flew out rapidly, the massive influx of soul power causing it to fly wildly for dozens of meters, soaring across the entire valley.
The next second, Gui Ke suddenly grabbed the steering wheel, and streams of pure dragon soul power flowed from her hands into the car, making it fly even more fiercely through the air.
The car's appearance changed slightly at this moment, with patterns resembling armor plates appearing. The front of the car also changed slightly. As it found some inexplicable point of support in the sky, its speed soared.
Since they were able to obtain information about the other side, the other side might be able to deduce their information as well, especially since one member of the Shadow Squad was missing... So they were very likely to turn their blades on Tang Hong!
