Chapter 476 The Mysterious Incomplete Skull
"I know you must have a way to leave. As long as you take me away, you set the conditions, and the people of the Undead Clan will definitely not default on their debts."
The masked man in black sneered, "I don't know the style of the Dead Silence Land, but with your style, there is no need for us to cooperate."
"Don't you want to know the whereabouts of the Hua Yang God-level space fragment?"
"Heh, I never care about these things. If you want to use these to negotiate with me, or, I can understand them as... threats, have you thought about how you will die?"
Hua Xiaodie looked at the cold eyes of the man in front of her and her mind was suddenly shaken. "No, no, no, I, I just, I beg you, please, take me away! I will die here!"
"Since you're begging me so humbly, I can make a deal with you."
Hua Xiaodie smiled happily, "Thank you! Let's go, let's get out of here quickly."
The man could only stand there motionless. "I think you didn't understand what I meant. The deal I said is that you stay here and tell me all the dynamic information in Villa No. 3.
In exchange, I will keep you safe."
"What?"
"Do you think you can walk out of Haicheng alive? I advise you to go back early and not arouse suspicion. If you can give me useful information, especially about Hua Yang, I will not treat you unfairly."
The black-clothed masked man said this, and without giving Hua Xiaodie a chance to argue, he left. He had the god-level space fragment in his hand, and Haicheng could let him come and go as he pleased.
The protective shield of Haicheng seemed to be closely related to the God-level space, but Villa No. 3 was too strictly guarded. Before he was sure of the life or death of Hua Yang, he did not want to ruin his relationship with Villa No. 3 for the time being.
After the masked man in black left, Hua Xiaodie stood alone under the golden sycamore tree, stunned, with tears in her eyes.
Without this man leading the way, she couldn't leave Haicheng at all. Maybe the people in Villa No. 3 knew how to get out? With Li Xiaoyu's current attitude towards her, I believe the other people would not be too defensive towards her.
It is better to rely on yourself than on others. She could respond to the man's words in a perfunctory manner while trying to find a way to leave.
Nothing is more important than your own life.
Thinking about how she could easily replace Hua Yang's position in these people's hearts and enjoy the life in the villa area, it turns out that the clown only has herself.
When Hua Xiaodie returned to the villa area, it was already completely dark. Everyone had already eaten. She was happy that she didn't have to eat those meals full of spiritual energy that would damage her cultivation, but after returning to her villa, she found that the villa she lived in was bright and spacious.
Li Xiaoyu put a few lunch boxes on the table, and when she saw her come back, she suddenly laughed. "Xiaodie, you're back? Come on, I haven't seen you all day, are you hungry? Come and eat, these are all your favorite foods!"
Hua Xiaodie looked at Li Xiaoyu's smile at that moment. She looked cute, amiable and kind, but in her eyes it made her feel even more creepy.
No matter how simple and kind-hearted a woman is, once she becomes cruel, she will become extremely terrifying.
"Mom, I, I've eaten outside!"
Li Xiaoyu frowned suddenly, and her kindness disappeared completely. "Have you eaten? Why didn't you tell us if you didn't come back for dinner? What did I teach you since you were a child?"
Li Xiaoyu's sudden change of expression made Hua Xiaodie break out in a cold sweat. She even felt that the room suddenly became airtight, and it was difficult to breathe.
A top-level planetary space-washing mutant can control and close a space channel, so she couldn't move.
She recalled a point in the conversation between Li Xiaoyu and Hua Jianming. If it weren't for Hua Yang, would both of them and Hua Shinian have died because of her and Yu Tianlin?
How did Hua Yang know that she would die because of herself and Yu Tianlin? Her god-level space could not have been born. She killed Yu Tianlin when the end of the world came, and then killed herself.
It is no coincidence that Xing Lie, a member of the Xing family, one of the most powerful families in the ancient universe, would stay by her side at such a risk of everything.
Could it be that she was really reborn just like in the book? She was killed by them in her previous life and was reborn to seek revenge?!
If this is the case, many things make sense. For example, why did she, who was so close to Yu Tianlin, suddenly kill him mercilessly?
For example, how did she know that it was him who drugged her and wanted to harm her.
For example, they apparently got along so well on the surface, and she usually cared for and obeyed him, so how could she suddenly change on the day of the end of the world?
She remembered the knife Hua Yang stabbed her with before she died. She remembered it clearly and felt heartbroken. She hated Hua Yang's ruthlessness, but at the same time, she was also trembling with fear for Hua Yang's identity as a reborn person.
This feeling of being seen through and being controlled by others really made her break out in a cold sweat.
She was reborn with hatred. If she is fine and sees me again, then I will be dead, right?
Hua Xiaodie, who originally wanted to leave Haicheng immediately, could no longer stay in Haicheng.
If Hua Yang is really not dead, she will definitely come back. The previous grudge is easy to settle. Four years ago, she planned to let Zhang Ting take her own daughter out to threaten them. Once it is discovered...
She didn't dare to think about the consequences.
Right now, Li Xiaoyu was staring at her with a fierce look, which made her extremely uneasy. If she didn't do what she wanted, she would probably have a hard time staying alive to wait for Wu Qi to come and save her.
She looked at the lunch box beside Li Xiaoyu, suddenly sat down and opened it, and said with a smile on her face, "Mom, I won't dare to do it again next time! Don't be angry. I, I have almost digested it now. How can I waste the food you worked so hard to make?"
She ate the food bite by bite, her face pale with a sickly blue tint, the whites of her eyes and the sides of her neck turned black, raised up but then suppressed with all her might.
She couldn't show any abnormality! She had to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity to escape from Haicheng! The last time she tricked Zhang Ting and Hua Yang's daughter Diandian out, she caught their weakness and everyone had to surrender.
So this time...
By the way, where is that bitch Hua Yang's daughter? She has been in Villa No. 3 for so long, but I haven't seen her once?
She ate the food in the lunch box vigorously, endured the discomfort all over her body, and asked Li Xiaoyu with a self-conscious smile.
"Mom, I heard that my sister had a daughter, but she's gone. So, my sister's daughter..."
Hua Xiaodie felt a sudden pain on her cheek before she finished her words. Li Xiaoyu slapped her face without warning, causing it to swell.
"mom……?"
"Shut up, my Yangyang is not dead! If you curse her again, I won't let you go."
The food in Hua Xiaodie's mouth had no taste but a hint of bitterness. Apart from the purpose of her coming back to the two of them this time, was she no longer their daughter?
She now only hoped that Hua Yang was really dead. Only if she died, even if she could not replace her, at least the living would have a better future than the dead.
She had to find out where Xing Dian Dian was. If possible, wouldn't it be possible to use this bastard Hua Yang, the weak spot of everyone in Villa No. 3, to check and threaten these people again?
She suppressed her weakness and ate all the food in the lunch box under Li Xiaoyu's satisfied eyes, then said, "Mom, I want to be closer to you. Can I live at home?"
Li Xiaoyu glanced coldly, "I don't care what you think, just stay here. Live in this world and play your role well. Without Yangyang, you can't replace her.
You have to know that if I hadn't tolerated you, no one in Villa No. 3 would have tolerated you! Including your father. If you still think of me as your mother, you should just be yourself and wait for Yangyang to come back."
Waiting for her daughter to come back and kill Hua Xiaodie with her own hands. What she has to do now is to keep her by her side, tormenting her little by little, making her suffer or unable to die.
All she wanted to do was wait for her daughter to come back before executing her.
…
At the bottom of the abyss of the Land of Death, the swamp occupies more than 90 percent.
In a swamp full of moisture, a ball of yellow will-o'-the-wisp was searching for something in the vast swamp.
Occasionally, its actions would startle one or two will-o'-the-wisp clusters that were several times smaller than itself, but it would not rush to chase after them and absorb them, but continue to search.
Finally, a strange bone was found under a pile of dead branches and leaves.
The edge of this bone looked smooth and flat, as if it had been cut flat by some sharp weapon. The remaining half was actually a third of a skull with only a single eye socket.
And it is a human skull.
It dragged the skull out and hid it in its shelter just like last time, but found that the broken skull seemed to weigh as much as a thousand gold and it couldn't move it no matter how hard it tried.
This broken skull seemed to have a special magical power that attracted it, and even made it feel that as long as it absorbed and integrated it, it would undergo earth-shaking changes.
However, there were still two animal bones in its previous habitat that had not been completely absorbed.
Just when it was in a dilemma, a gust of evil wind suddenly rose from nowhere. As soon as the evil wind rose, the surroundings became quiet. The ghost fires that huddled in their own shelters danced with restless flames, trying to bury themselves deeper.
This was a kind of fear that came from instinct. Even though this group had grown its body to the size of two fists in the past three years, becoming the most powerful existence in this swamp area.
However, his true body did not undergo any level transformation.
There must be a higher level above the yellow level, which it can sense instinctively. The absorbed will-o'-the-wisp energy lingered in the vortex in its body and did not reach saturation.
In addition, every time it absorbs and devours a broken animal bone and integrates the life force, extremely subtle changes will occur in its body.
The power of the will-o'-the-wisp has been compressed by the force of life many times. Over time, with the same size, other yellow-level will-o'-the-wisp only needs to absorb two or three will-o'-the-wisp of the same level to evolve.
After it absorbed and devoured all the fist-sized will-o'-the-wisp in the area, it itself became a yellow-level will-o'-the-wisp.
When the evil wind came, it instinctively felt a tremor and subconsciously hid under the swamp where the broken skull was.
The next second, he sank deep into the mud in the swamp.
A pair of green eyes scanned the muddy ground of the area.
Just now it clearly sensed a breath of life here, but it suddenly disappeared.
As a result, this swamp area began to be turned upside down. It turned over the underground swamp inch by inch, trying to find a ray of life that would attract it.
Gotta find it, get it!
If I had this chance of survival, my quality could be greatly improved.
If it reaches the cyan level, it will have enough energy to escape from this swamp. It has searched almost all the swamps it can sense, just to find this life. It has been waiting for this moment for who knows how many years.
But how could it suddenly disappear?
Under the swamp, in order to avoid being affected by the churning above, the yellow will-o'-the-wisp wanted to jump down, but it was reluctant to let go of the broken skull.
The vortex within its body began to spin, mobilizing all of its ghostly fire power to try to carry the broken skull down into a deeper quagmire and hide it there.
However, a strange change occurred. The ghost fire power mixed with fire energy extended out, and when it touched the broken skull, most of the energy was absorbed by the skull.
If it hadn't reacted quickly, even the remaining energy would have been sucked away.
Having had a similar experience of being attacked before, the yellow will-o'-the-wisp instinctively wanted to escape downwards alone. But it was too late. The broken skull actually gave off a trace of vitality and forcefully dragged it into the skull.
Once inside the skull, the yellow will-o'-the-wisp flickered in the only remaining eye socket bone. It wanted to escape, but was pulled by a mysterious force and sealed inside the skull.
The skull was like a long-hungry murderer. As soon as it entered the interior, it began to frantically absorb the ghost fire power within its body.
It desperately pulled at the power of its own will-o'-the-wisp, while mobilizing the fire energy in the vortex within its body to attack, attempting to smash the incomplete but bizarre skull.
However, what frightened it even more was that the fire energy it released to attack was also absorbed.
The incomplete skull, which originally had a crack and many spots of corrosion on the surface, became crystal clear and had a mysterious luster.
After the broken skull absorbed a large amount of its ghost fire power and almost drained all the fire energy in the vortex of its body, it finally stopped destroying it.
The yellow will-o'-the-wisp's body was now only the size of an egg. Fortunately, the feeling of being madly plundered of its energy disappeared, and instead, a strong and rich vitality suddenly rose from the broken skull and rushed into its body.
It's over! It's all over now.
Just one tenth of the vitality in a piece of animal bone almost destroyed it. So much life force was enough to completely annihilate it in this dark and endless swamp.
It was ready to dissipate in the swamp, but the vitality that entered its body did not destroy it. Instead, it quickly rushed into its body and filled its egg-sized body with ghost fire.
Moreover, this strong vitality is mixed with even stronger fire energy. Not only that, there seems to be an extremely weak trace of golden energy in it.
This golden energy made the broken skull flash with golden luster and made it harder.
