Chapter 113. Operation Godhunter Begins...
Lin Xiaoxiao was covered in wounds. She stood up, leaning on her lightsaber, and shakily raised the lightsaber in her hand.
Pointing the sword tip at the shriveled but pale-skinned, bizarre female corpse with a mouth split to the back of her head, and a large hole in the heart beneath her red dress, he could vaguely see the corpse.
He sneered and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his left hand: "It's you?"
The bizarre female corpse that manipulated giants in the B-level secret realm Ghost Cave has actually come knocking on our door at this time. This is not a good thing. Given her current condition, it will probably take a lot of hard work to kill her.
The female corpse stared at her with a pair of large, scarlet eyes that took up a third of her face, revealing a terrifying smile and an excited tone: "Yes, it's me!"
Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, secretly tightening her grip on the lightsaber, her gaze discreetly sweeping over the withered figure a dozen meters away, considering in her mind where to strike to kill him with a single blow.
Time passed second by second, and the man and the corpse remained frozen in place, neither of them moving.
The female corpse keenly sensed the subtle murderous aura spreading around her. Her body reacted before her sluggish consciousness, and she retreated several meters.
It raised its hands to its chest in a gesture of surrender, and said in a lowered, hoarse voice, "I... I meant no harm, I was just a little excited to see you."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao did not lower her guard. Holding her lightsaber, she pointed the tip at the female corpse and stared at it expressionlessly: "Stop talking nonsense and just tell me what you want from me?"
From the B-level secret realm to the Black Abyss Area A, the pursuit is so intense; Lin Xiaoxiao simply doesn't believe there's any other motive.
The female corpse frantically pulled a crookedly sewn, old unicorn pendant from the pocket of her tattered skirt, gave Lin Xiaoxiao a fawning smile, and gestured for her to look.
This little unicorn pendant is only half the size of a palm. It is made of fabric, and most of the threads have come loose, but you can still vaguely see the bright color of the fabric.
The most peculiar thing is that this unicorn has three horns on its head. It is the presence of these three horns that makes this pendant look like a strange hybrid.
A little girl, about 80 centimeters tall and with two pigtails, held up a crookedly sewn hanging frame above her head, showing it off to two good-looking people: "Dad, Mom, look at the unicorn I sewn! Isn't it cool?"
A handsome man scooped up the little girl, spun her over his head, and said proudly, "Wow, my little darling can do crafts now! That's wonderful!"
A beautiful woman stood to the side, smiling gently, watching the father and daughter bickering.
...
Memories of the past flashed through Lin Xiaoxiao's mind. Her face turned ashen. She channeled the energy within her body, combining it with the power of faith to construct a thin layer of energy armor around her. With a leap, she charged towards the female corpse, sword in hand.
In the blink of an eye, he took the unicorn pendant, placed his lightsaber against the female corpse's neck, and demanded sharply, "Where did you get this? Where is its owner?"
The female corpse had lost her previous agility; she simply tilted her head and stared blankly at Lin Xiaoxiao, as if deep in thought, showing no fear even with a lightsaber pressed against her neck.
Even while he was thinking, he swayed his body and repeatedly swayed his neck toward the lightsaber.
Still without an answer, Lin Xiaoxiao subtly moved the lightsaber outward by 1 centimeter.
After a long silence, just as Lin Xiaoxiao's body was becoming increasingly sweaty due to exhaustion, and she was trembling uncontrollably.
The female corpse finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "Official, I will take you to the Official."
Willing official? Whose willing official?
Lin Xiaoxiao continued to press sharply, "Who? That official who made the vows?"
The female corpse did not answer Lin Xiaoxiao's question. Instead, her aura grew weaker and weaker, like a doll whose energy was about to run out. She stood there blankly, motionless.
Just as Lin Xiaoxiao was about to take action, the female corpse suddenly uttered, "Found her, found Lin Yuanguan's daughter, hide her, hide her, don't let, don't let her be found."
Lin Yuanguan? Is he the person she's thinking of?
The moment Lin Xiaoxiao froze at the name, the female corpse swiftly grabbed her wrist and tried to drag her into the S area: "Go, leave, leave, away from here."
Lin Xiaoxiao slapped the female corpse's hand away and used her faith power to condense an energy chain, binding the female corpse tightly into a rice dumpling.
Just then, a communication module popped up:
[Fate's agent - Kagome, requesting a call, do you agree? [Yes or No]]
Lin Xiaoxiao quickly tapped the "Accept Call" button.
Kagome calmly explained her purpose: "Xiaoxiao, Operation God Hunting Era has begun."
Lin Xiaoxiao remained calm, even having the leisure to add two more shackles to the female corpse in front of her: "Hmm, what excuse did they use to start this event?"
The group was fully aware of the arrival of the [Hunter God Era] and were not surprised at all.
Kagome's tone was laced with obvious sarcasm: "According to Atums, we received news that some of the agents have defected to the Dark God and become traitors. We need to find these traitors and bring them to justice."
Lin Xiaoxiao knew where Kagome's sarcasm came from. Nunnro's [New Creation] organization had been colluding with the Dark God for many years, and Atums' [Light Concealment] organization also had many connections with the Dark God.
These two troublemakers actually used the pretext of being traitors to the Dark God to launch the God Hunting Era?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao asked coldly, "No one objects?"
Kagome said sarcastically, "Those agents who openly opposed it were gone the next day. They're probably used as material by the Ruinro Lab now."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao cursed inwardly: Damn it, what a madman.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the female corpse not far away and calculated in her mind how much time it would take to go to S District and then return to Shenjuanzhi.
Having finally found a clue about her parents, she couldn't bear not to go and see them.
Even though Sector S is dangerous, she doesn't lack faith power and has backup plans. If she can't win, she can still escape successfully.
She calmly instructed, "Kagome, I have some things to take care of here. I will return to the City of Gods within a month to hold a banquet for the agents. You all need to hold on for now."
Kagome nodded: "Mm."
After the communication ended, Lin Xiaoxiao once again conjured a lightsaber in her hand, quickly slicing open the hearts of Fuxu and Luochen, and digging out the thumb-sized, seed-shaped divine cores hidden inside their hearts.
These two divine cores are octagonal prismatic crystals, radiating a sacred milky white light, but their interiors are now entangled with many black impurities, leaving very few clean areas.
These are all consequences of Fuxu and Luochen failing to strictly adhere to the duties of their agents and indiscriminately killing people, resulting in the contamination of the divine core.
The female corpse stared longingly at the two divine cores in Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, her throat unconsciously swallowing.
After dealing with all of this, Lin Xiaoxiao used the [Extraction of All Things] technique, which she had upgraded to legendary level, to make a grabbing motion towards the two lifeless figures in the void.
Congratulations on obtaining: 500 million (Advanced) Faith Power
Congratulations on obtaining: 1.2 billion (medium) Faith Power
Congratulations on obtaining: 2.8 billion (low-level) Faith Power
Immediately afterwards, she used the [Extraction of All Things (Legendary)] with her left hand and the [Sealing Technique (Legendary)] with her right hand.
Before the spaces within Fuxu and Luochen disappeared, they were sealed directly into two round, gray beads, each only about 2 centimeters in size.
Congratulations on obtaining: Fallen Agent's Ruined Space (Diamond Grade) *1
Congratulations on obtaining: Fallen Agent's Ruined Space (Gold Grade) *1
[The Fallen Agent's Ruined Space (Diamond Level): Due to delayed extraction, more than half of the space has dissipated, and its level has dropped from Epic to Diamond. It may contain the treasures of the former agent, so please search carefully.]
[The Fallen Agent's Ruined Space (Gold Rank)...]
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the two spatial beads in her hand, her gaze sweeping over the female corpse standing not far away, and her expression turned somewhat grim.
If it weren't for this mysteriously appearing female corpse, she would have been able to obtain an epic-level complete space, and the things inside would have been largely preserved.
With a sigh, he took out an empty treasure chest, put two beads inside, labeled them, and carefully hid them in a corner of his space.
Congratulations on successfully crafting a Diamond-level treasure chest! Experience gained: 2,321,445
The reason for putting the beads in the treasure chest is that these two spatial beads were extracted from the agent's body and cannot be placed directly into her body, as this would cause a spatial collision.
But it's different when you put it in a treasure chest; you can put it in however you want.
After completing these series of operations, Lin Xiaoxiao used the power of faith to create a small golden flame, threw it onto the lifeless bodies of Fu Xu and Luo Chen, and without looking back, pulled the female corpse away.
Holding one end of the energy chain, she coldly said to the female corpse, "Come on, take me to the Lin Yuanguan you mentioned."
For the next ten days or so, Lin Xiaoxiao carried the female corpse through the air, following its intermittent directions, and zigs and twists and turns to avoid many strange-looking [wild gods] wandering in the Black Abyss.
Wild Gods are false gods mass-produced by Nuenro through special means in cooperation with the Dark God.
Despite being called a wild god, he was nothing more than an experimental subject, a puppet god with only a title.
To be precise, it is a pseudo-god created by using an agent's body, reversing the body structure, sewing in various strange limbs, retaining a trace of consciousness, forcibly embedding a divine core made through special means, and finally infusing it with the divine power of the Dark God.
A 'wild god monster' whose level is above demigod, but only one step away from true god, yet whose combat power remains at the quasi-god level.
Although they have impressive titles, these wild gods are the best expendable resources in the event of war.
During this time, Lin Xiaoxiao also fed the female corpse a polluted divine core seed. However, because the female corpse had no energy left, she simply lay down and didn't point the way, so Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't find the place at all.
The female corpse was bound like a rice dumpling, writhing in mid-air, looking ahead with excitement: "There, that's it."
Lin Xiaoxiao, unable to bear it any longer, unleashed her energy from a distance and slapped the female corpse on the back of the head: "Shut up."
Below were all wandering wild gods. This female corpse had a loud voice and would scream at any time, attracting the wild gods to surround and attack her several times.
If Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't possessed abundant faith power and possessed a strong fighting spirit brought back from her previous life, she might already be dead here.
However, it wasn't without its advantages. She launched a sneak attack and killed two wild gods, and with the constant conversion of faith power, her level has now reached 572.
After being hit, the female corpse immediately shut up. It had been hit so many times during this period that it had become accustomed to shutting up when hit.
More than two hours later, Lin Xiaoxiao carried the female corpse to the edge of a huge mountain of corpses that looked like a series of rolling hills.
The corpses that were originally still began to tremble as they sensed the woman's approach, as if they wanted to get closer, or as if they were welcoming their owner's return.
Lin Xiaoxiao held the energy chain in one hand and slapped the back of the female corpse's head with the other, her tone cold and hard: "Tell them not to move."
The female corpse screamed: 'ang.a—'
The previously turbulent mountain of corpses suddenly parted into a 6-meter-wide path after this howl.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the road in front of her, but did not step into it immediately. Instead, she stood still, frowning in thought.
The female corpse was standing on her own territory when countless energies rushed into her, causing her to regain her senses in a very short time.
Suddenly, the female corpse spoke: "Go inside. I have no reason to harm you. By the way, my name is Cheng Yu."
Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head warily, looking at the female corpse named Chengyu who was no longer in a daze. Energy surged in her right hand, quickly forming a 1.4-meter-long lightsaber, which she held to its neck: "Go!"
Having already come this far, she couldn't possibly give up and leave.
Even if it's highly likely to be a trap, she's going to go in and take a look. This is the first time in two lifetimes that she's encountered any clues about her parents.
After walking for nearly 20 kilometers, the man and the body successfully arrived at a house that had collapsed to the point where only the base of the wall remained.
Inside the house, there was a small platform with a huge stone coffin on it, and a large gray stone slab around the edge, which looked like a place for people to stand when they were worshipping.
Cheng Yu raised her chin and pointed in a certain direction: "Look, the entrance is under that stone slab. You enter by dripping blood."
Lin Xiaoxiao raised her lightsaber and quickly slashed Cheng Yu's neck. Using an extraction technique, she painstakingly extracted a drop of blood from its body and flicked it onto the stone slab.
After Orange had its blood drawn, its once fair skin quickly turned dull and dry. Its voice broke down: "I only have a dozen or so drops of blood left! Can't you use your own? I'm drying up! My skin! I'm going to become ugly!!"
Amidst Cheng Yu's screams, the stone slab, accompanied by a teeth-grinding 'sila.sila' sound, slowly moved aside, revealing a bottomless black tunnel below.
After Lin Xiaoxiao conjured a protective layer on her entire body, she grabbed Chengyu and jumped down.
After a brief period of weightlessness, they slid out of the opening beside them and successfully reached the bottom. The blast of cold air sent shivers down their spines.
This is a neatly constructed underground shelter, with layers upon layers of magic circles painted on all six sides. At the very front, a large expanse of ice crystals connects from the bottom to the top, and half of a carved magic circle is visible at the bottom of the ice crystals.
In the middle of the raised area, eight richly dressed men and women of varying ages were frozen in ice. The oldest looked to be over sixty years old, and the youngest looked to be twenty.
Even through the ice crystals, the man and woman at the very edge were clearly very good-looking.
When Lin Xiaoxiao saw those two people, her eyes welled up with tears, and large drops rolled down her cheeks. Her heart felt like it had been punched several times. After a long while, she finally murmured, "Dad, Mom."
She bound Chengyu several more times, tears streaming down her face, and slowly approached the ice crystal. With trembling hands, she stroked Lin's parents through the ice crystal, as if she could vaguely feel their presence through it.
Cheng Yu said helplessly, "They're not dead yet, there's still hope. Don't rush to mourn them."
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't even have time to wipe away her tears before she quickly turned around, grabbed Cheng Yu by the collar, and threatened her anxiously, "What do you mean? Is there still hope? How? Tell me now!"
Cheng Yu was shaken so badly her head almost fell off, a cunning glint in her eyes: "Oh dear, I'm so low on energy, I'm about to lose consciousness again."
As soon as it finished speaking, its gaping maw was stuffed with a contaminated divine core seed and several broken fragments of wild god cores.
Lin Xiaoxiao grabbed its collar and shook it vigorously: "Eat, tell me now!"
Cheng Yu wanted to take the sedan chair, but when she caught sight of Lin Xiaoxiao's raised fist, which was glowing with golden light, she obediently chewed up what was in her mouth, swallowed it, and explained with an embarrassed smile:
The sealed individuals are all officials of the God of Greed, and they are still alive, but they have been afflicted by the God of Greed's plundering curse, so they can only be forcibly sealed here.
Cheng Yu was once the wish-granter of the God of Death. She transformed herself into this ghostly form through special means, barely managing to withstand the curse of the God of Greed.
But the price is that once it leaves this desolate place, it will gradually lose its human consciousness due to the lack of energy and become a monster that can only act on instinct.
The reason it appeared in that B-level secret realm was because it needed a large number of corpses to condense corpse energy in order to maintain its sanity, and this corpse energy could also effectively conceal the aura of Lin's father and mother.
Lin Xiaoxiao astutely grasped the problem: "How did you recognize me? What happened to my parents? Why did they come into conflict with Him?"
Although she roughly knew the area where the God of Greed was hiding, she had never seen the God of Greed in person in her previous life.
Cheng Yu sighed helplessly: "The reason I recognized you is because each of the sealed individuals has a drop of their heart's blood inside me. Whenever I encounter their relatives, I will react."
"Of course, you weren't the first to be found all these years, but you're the last one alive."
The last one? Does that mean all the other people's relatives have died?
Lin Xiaoxiao subconsciously released her grip on Cheng Yu's collar.
Cheng Yu fell to the ground with a thud, then continued, lying on her back, "As for why they were cursed, it's probably because they accidentally learned about the Dark Devouring Plan."
The term "Dark Devouring Plan" was uttered.
A look of confusion flashed across Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes: "The Dark Devouring Plan?"
According to Cheng Yu's analysis, the Dark Devouring Plan is the ultimate goal of the God of Greed. He wants to devour all the secret realms on this planet and turn them into a dark abyss, and then rule this planet.
If you want to save Lin's parents, you must kill the God of Greed to break the curse.
Lin Xiaoxiao stared straight at Cheng Yu lying on the ground, her face showing nothing, only pretending to be deep in thought, but in her heart she had many doubts.
Since this Orange is in cahoots with her parents, how is it able to evade the spell of greed?
Even if he was transformed into this ghostly state through special means, and was in the S area surrounded by black mist, did Greedy Reality really not know?
Moreover, it was implying that Lin Xiaoxiao must eliminate greed. Why was that?
Moreover, the death god's wish-granting official was mingling with his parents, who were righteous wish-granting officials, which looked like a sting operation...
Although full of doubts, Lin Xiaoxiao did not ask directly. Instead, she nodded and followed Cheng Yu's words, hoping to get some other information.
This suspicion reached its peak even when Cheng Yu stopped her from rescuing Lin's parents.
Even Cheng Yu explained that all the magic circles here were there to protect Lin's parents.
At this moment, Quan Zhi, who hadn't appeared for a long time, spoke in Lin Xiaoxiao's mind: "Leave quickly, don't linger, they are not in danger for the time being."
Lin Xiaoxiao approached the ice crystal without making a sound, and successively put more than a dozen layers of protection on the eight people who were sealed, and then left directly, without unlocking the energy chains on Cheng Yu's body when she left.
Just hours after she left, the energy chains on Cheng Yu's body shattered.
It slowly got up from the ground, walked to the sealed ice crystal, reached out a finger to touch it, and the moment it touched it, the ice crystal suddenly emitted a violent bolt of lightning, turning one of its arms into charred remains.
If it hadn't pulled its hand away quickly, its entire body would probably have been electrocuted into charcoal.
Its voice was hoarse and its tone was cold: "This one is smarter than the previous ones, Lin Qiwei, no wonder he's your offspring."
A black mist suddenly appeared, swirling around its body, and its skin, which had been charred by electricity, instantly returned to its luminous white color.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoxiao, who was flying in mid-air using the power of faith, was chased by countless wild gods and corpses.
No matter which direction she left in, she couldn't shake off what was behind her.
Quan Zhi commanded in a deep voice, "Throw that pendant away."
Following Quan Zhi's instructions, Lin Xiaoxiao threw away the pendant and stumbled around for a day and a night, successfully shaking off her pursuers and hiding back at a safe spot in Area B.
She lay sprawled on the platform, covered in injuries, panting heavily.
Quan Zhi's voice came again: "Knowing it's most likely a trap, you still dared to go. You've got some nerve."
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled: "I just believe in my own abilities."
She has three experience coins containing six billion experience points hidden in her space. As long as she detonates them with the power of faith, even a demigod can be crippled and escape, provided they don't encounter a true god.
She had already noticed that the female corpse was acting; how could she have been normal before and then suddenly become dazed?
If it hadn't pulled out the unicorn pendant that her parents always carried and uttered the name Lin Yuanguan, she would have already chopped off its head with a sword, and there would have been no chance of turning the tables on it.
