Lu Shi followed the Dark King to the exit.
The two hid in the shadows near the cave entrance.
Upon closer inspection, this is the large open space behind the Huang family courtyard that we saw when we were building from a high place.
They were at the entrance to the black hole in the open space.
"Little girl, the person standing on the right below is the accomplice I was talking about." Dark King's voice suddenly rang in Lu Shi's mind.
Looking down, the entrance to the cave was quite large.
Two men in their thirties were standing on the edge of the cave entrance, chatting idly as they watched hyenas running out from the other side.
The man on the right spoke in a fawning tone.
"Lord Eighty-Two, what brings you here? I can keep an eye on things here!"
The man on the left, number eighty-two, snorted coldly, slammed his hand against the stone wall, and said resentfully, "Huang Ruipeng, can't I come and take a look?"
"Ah! I wouldn't dare," Huang Ruipeng hurriedly explained, bowing his head.
"I'm just looking for an opportunity to get rid of Eighty-One and his annoying tiger. That Eighty-One is arrogant and has more summoned beasts than he does. Otherwise, it's hard to say who would have a higher number of summoned beasts."
The hand that slapped against the stone wall emitted a yellow light, which quickly merged into the wall, making it appear even more solid.
“However, there’s no one available in the number eighty right now. Even if I kill eighty-one, eighty can’t do anything to me. They said a few words to me just now, but they can only assign me to this teleportation array to reinforce the passage.” Eighty-two kept moving his hands, speaking with a hint of arrogance.
"You're right, sir," Huang Ruipeng repeatedly agreed.
Suddenly, his eyes darted around, and he said in an even more respectful tone, "My lord! It seems that the important figures in our Huang family have disappeared many days in advance. Those who remain are all ungrateful and determined to oppose the Shadow Society. They deserve to die, but I, Huang Ruipeng, am utterly loyal to the Shadow Society!"
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Sir, you see, I moved those old guards away and personally activated the teleportation array. Does that count as a great achievement?"
Eighty-two glanced at him disdainfully, turned around, and casually said, "Well, you're very loyal, but your strength is a bit weak. However, you'll definitely have a chance to go to the Holy Land of the Shadow Demon Society in the future."
"That's great. This N County is poor in resources and so dangerous. Even the big shots are trying to escape. My cousin promised to take me away from here. But in the end, even he wasn't allowed to leave early. What a useless piece of trash!" Huang Ruipeng said indignantly, kicking a stone in frustration.
The pebble landed on the stone wall with a crisp sound.
But then, a black leopard emerged from the shadows, pounced on Huang Ruipeng in an instant, and bit through his throat before he could even scream.
The sound of struggling caught Eighty-Two's attention. He turned around and immediately saw Huang Ruipeng's miserable state. His expression changed, and he was about to take action.
Ding ding ding.
Three shadow spikes shot out and struck his body, but a yellow shield automatically appeared, blocking all the shadow spikes.
call out.
Without uttering a single wasted word, Eighty-Two vanished from his spot, using Shadow Escape to try and slip into the pack of hyenas in a side passage.
"I didn't tell you to leave."
Lu Shi accurately predicted the landing point of Eighty-Two. A lightning spear descended from the sky, interrupting his attempt to escape using Shadow Cloak.
"Your turtle shell can't be harder than that horse's, can it?" Lu Shi laughed, revealing herself as well.
Purple light shone around her, like a goddess who controlled thunder and lightning.
Another lightning spear struck Eighty-Two, and the yellow protective shield, unable to withstand the pressure, began to crack. Then, one lightning spear after another rained down.
By the time the fourth lightning spear struck, Eighty-two had already been reduced to a charred corpse.
[Slayed a mid-level human mage, soul weight 101G, automatically absorbed]
"Wow, not bad at all." Lu Shi exclaimed in admiration as she looked at the prompt.
There aren't many mid-level mages who possess this much soul weight.
"Little girl, you're really violent." Dark King crawled to Lu Shi's side, which, in the eyes of the magical beast, could be considered a compliment.
"Thank you for the compliment," Lu Shi replied.
She thought to herself, "Just ten days ago, I was a frail teacher. In ten days, I've been called a violent tomboy. Sure enough, after transmigrating, the environment changed. The changes in myself were so rapid that even I was surprised."
Dark King swatted the charging hyenas to death and said to Lu Shi, "Let's go." He then took the lead and ran towards the Huang family mansion.
Lu Shi unfolded the wind track and caught up.
After circling underground, we have to go back again.
As he ran, the Dark King gestured with his head to the Netherworld Serpent floating above.
“Little girl, give me that demonic serpent in the sky. It’s my target. The stench of dark magic it emits makes me nauseous.”
"It's in the sky, how can you handle it?" Lu Shi asked doubtfully.
"As enforcers of dark magic, we can pull our targets into a separate enforcement barrier. Although it's rank 8 and I'm rank 7, I can still judge it from there," the Dark King said proudly.
"It seems that bringing you out was the wisest decision I ever made." Lu Shi exclaimed in amazement, marveling at such a miraculous skill.
“However, little girl, the enforcement process cannot be interrupted. So… you must protect me.” The Dark King said apologetically, “Of course, I don’t think my trial of that snake will last too long, you can hold it off for about ten minutes.”
"I'll fuck you!" Lu Shi wanted to curse.
Ten minutes? Look at the number of Warcraft monsters now.
However, as promised, I will face the danger head-on.
Okay, then let the danger come even more fiercely.
Fortunately, it seemed that the group consisted mainly of low-level hyenas; the high-level magical beasts had already dispersed.
Wen Tianming's magic power was exhausted, and all the members of the Shadow Society were dead.
Ten minutes shouldn't be a problem.
"Then you should finish this quickly." Lu Shi nodded in agreement.
I added a sentence in my mind.
I'd love to get the first kill. An 8th-tier magical beast! Its soul weight is mouthwatering.
...
On the ground of the Huang family dungeon.
Looking at the hyenas running back from inside, Wen Tianming cursed angrily.
"That idiot Eighty-Two actually chose this time to attack his own people, he deserves to die."
The fact that the gentle and refined Wen Tianming was driven to swearing shows just how angry he was.
"Wen Tianming, you've really disappointed me! We can't find the Kunlun Mirror, and the Beast God has descended. What are we going to do to explain this?" The Netherworld Serpent said discontentedly in the air.
"My lord, let that eighty-two-eyed, unruly superior go to the passage to offer a sacrifice and summon the Beast God. This is my final honor for him!" Wen Tianming replied humbly. "The other exits below the dungeon all lead to teleportation arrays. Don't worry, the Kunlun Mirror won't be lost."
"Alright. So that's why you suddenly sent that Eighty-Two to guard the passage. You were planning to sacrifice him." The Netherworld Serpent chuckled sinisterly. "Good, having more mid-level mages means more power. One of him can take on many hyenas or humans."
"Sir, the hyenas have done their work, shouldn't we close the net?" Wen Tianming asked with a grim expression.
"Yes, it's almost there." The Netherworld Serpent's enormous head nodded.
Its powerful consciousness then spread throughout the entire N County.
"Children, take your spoils back to the tunnel. Let's begin the final celebration!"
All the monsters that heard it roared to the sky in unison. Excited, they dragged the surviving humans along, beginning to converge on the black hole in the clearing.
From the sky above N County, ugly hyenas surged like a black tide, converging from all parts of N County toward the black hole in the open space, eventually forming a black ocean there.
Lu Shi also heard the Netherworld Serpent's message and became even more curious, so she asked the Dark King, "Why do they need to return to the passage to gather?"
Dark King was also baffled. He shook his head and said to Lu Shi, "I don't know, but whatever their conspiracy is, killing them will expose the conspiracy itself."
"You're right, brute force overcomes skill. Unfortunately, I'm in trouble. The hyena pack's return puts even more pressure on me. You'd better hurry."
During their conversation, they returned to a spot not far from the Huang family's dungeon.
They watched as Wen Tianming on the ground seemed to be communicating with the Netherworld Serpent in the sky.
Lu Shi waved his hand and called out, "Dark King, let's go!"
The Dark King let out a huge roar, and its body suddenly grew larger until it reached a height of ten meters before stopping. Then, the black light emanating from its body became so dense that it formed a black hole.
Then, the Dark King, carrying the black hole, charged directly towards the Netherworld Serpent in the air.
In an instant, the black hole expanded, engulfing both enormous demonic beasts.
In the enormous black hole in the sky, only the faint outlines of two colossal beasts struggling and wrestling could be barely discerned.
"What kind of magic is this?" Wen Tianming stared at the sky, gripped by fear.
“Hypocrite.” Lu Shi suddenly appeared in front of Wen Tianming.
She smiled radiantly and said calmly, "I told you, I'm coming back to cut your head."
A pair of scissors as tall as herself appeared in Lu Shi's hand, and then, with a strong gust of wind, she struck at Wen Tianming, who was still in a daze.
