Chapter 1102 What is sought?

Wang Dongdong had no idea where he was.

All she remembered was that she risked her life and finally found those guys' lair...

Deep within the trial space, those people occupied an abandoned cave and transformed it into their base.

She had initially thought that infiltrating it would be extremely difficult.

Unexpectedly, the cave entrance was wide open, and the restrictions were practically useless. She entered with almost no hindrance.

However, I only realized it shortly after I came in.

This is just a cat-and-mouse game played by the other side.

Now, she stands in a straight, endless corridor, holding a long spear and covered in blood.

The lanterns overhead were densely packed, leaning to one side or the other, and even red lanterns grew on the pillars, as if they were parasitic foreign creatures.

Even more strangely, gravity seems to have lost its unified direction here.

The tassels at the bottom of the lanterns sway in different directions, some upwards and some horizontally, as if each lantern exists in a different gravitational system.

She alone stood steadily in the corridor.

Looking at this chaotic scene before me, I almost wondered if I was dreaming, or if I had already entered a dream.

Beyond the long corridor lay an impenetrable darkness.

She tried to probe the gun tip inside, but touched nothing. It was as if with contact, she lost something she couldn't even be aware of.

So she dared not step inside.

But thinking of the strange creatures relentlessly pursuing them, he could only keep his head down and continue forward along the corridor.

But after wandering around, everything seemed pretty much the same, except that there were many more lanterns, which almost dyed the entire corridor a blinding blood color.

"What...what are these things...?"

Wang Dongdong knew that although the corridor in front of her still stretched into the distance, she had probably already entered a dead end.

But what to do?
She was trying to save people!
Am I destined to be trapped here, and lose myself in the process?
But she didn't regret coming here; she was just saddened that she hadn't accomplished anything yet...

Just then, the candlelight in the nearest lantern flickered.

There's clearly no wind!
The next moment, the lantern cracked open with a "snap"!

A ball of fire and crimson liquid landed, elongating into a form that could barely be called humanoid. Its face was blurred, its limbs were twisted, and beneath its skin was churning magma, resembling fresh blood.

Then the second, the third...

One by one, the lanterns fell.

The densely packed figures in the corridor blocked Wang Dongdong's way in both directions.

"It's time to end..."

Those figures spoke in a hoarse voice.

The voice came from behind the scenes, full of mocking sarcasm.

Wang Dongdong's heart sank.

He tightened his grip on the spear.

The wounds on my body were still tearing me apart.

The other party clearly understood that she was at her limit, so she simply manipulated these figures to slowly approach.

Are we really going to give in?

We should still give it a shot!
Wang Dongdong gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, swung his spear, tearing through the darkness beside him, and rushed into it without hesitation.

The world suddenly turned upside down.

She felt as if she had fallen into deep water, surrounded by thick, cold liquid.

Her eardrums were being compressed, her lungs were throbbing with pain, she struggled desperately, with only one thought remaining—

Get out of here alive!

After an unknown amount of time, she finally broke out of the water.

With a splash, the icy air rushed into her lungs, and she gasped for breath, almost completely exhausted, floating on the water's surface.

Finally, she was no longer in that damned corridor.

But before them was another strange scene: the pool was like a huge whirlpool, enveloping everything.

Countless lotus leaves floated on it, their emerald green color almost dripping, layer upon layer, truly stretching to the endless sky.

It's so beautiful, like a dream.

Wang Dongdong hated this feeling.

She'd rather fight a battle than get caught up in these inexplicable oddities.

But the owner of this "nest" seems to really enjoy playing this game.

She leaped to her feet.

Almost simultaneously, the water surface exploded, lotus leaves surged and gathered together like living things, transforming into a giant emerald python made of lotus leaves and water veins, which opened its blood-red maw and pounced straight at them.

Wang Dongdong dodged to the side, and his blood-red spear suddenly shot out, the tip of the spear bursting into flames and turning into a sea of ​​blood.

The giant green python was accurately pierced in the eye, letting out a low roar, and its tail spread out into several strands that swept across.

Wang Dongdong was unable to avoid it and was slapped into the water.

This time, she didn't even have the strength to float to the surface immediately.

Without physical strength, one can only drift with the current.

I do not know how long it has been--

She opened her eyes again.

This time, what came into view was a grayish-brown space, filled with huge openings, some allowing glimpses of the sky, others shrouded in darkness.

She looked down at herself; her clothes were dry, and even her wounds had healed, leaving only a trace, as if everything before had been an illusion.

Struggling to her feet, Wang Dongdong flew away following the sunlight.

After going around in circles, it finally saw the light of day.

Looking back suddenly, I realized that I had actually flown out of a giant artificial mountain.

Before them sat several enormous human figures, surrounded by a profusion of flowers, resembling a garden, only many times larger.

Wang Dongdong was suddenly startled.

Finally, we were about to see the real enemy, but we didn't expect the size difference to be so great. The impulse to force our way in was suddenly extinguished.

They quickly hid inside the cave entrance.

I covered my wildly beating heart.

Fortunately, she did not show herself rashly.

However... one of the women seemed to notice something and looked up in their direction.

Wang Dongdong held his breath and remained motionless.

A moment later, the gaze shifted away.

It seems no one has been found.

After all, at this moment, Wang Dongdong was as insignificant as a mosquito in front of these beings.

Through a crack in the artificial hill, she cautiously observed the five people at the table. They were all dressed strangely and were playing cards together.

The person who looked up just now was a woman whose face was covered with metal rings.

The person beside her was like a human figure sculpted directly from ice, with blurred features and an indistinct gender, radiating an aura of coldness that kept people at a distance.

Apart from these two, the other three were all exhaling mist, which gathered in the sky to form colorful clouds.

A woman with dark skin, extremely tall and thin, covered in fluorescent patterns.

Across the table sat a rather handsome man, whose body was covered with external pipes and interfaces, and a wicked smile on his face, making his handsomeness appear particularly distorted.

Finally, there was a man without skin. Although he had no facial features, his appearance was unique. Wang Dongdong recognized him immediately, and upon seeing him, she was almost bursting with rage.

It's him!

The culprit behind the destruction of the settlement!

But she knew very well that now was not the time to act impulsively.

The existing gap in strength has become an insurmountable chasm when compared to the size difference.

Wang Dongdong forced down her emotions and could only think of finding out some information first.

Perhaps the place where he is imprisoned is not far away.

at this time--

"I heard someone broke in."

These words came out of nowhere, almost making her heart skip a beat.

The one who spoke was the woman with the metal ring.

The handsome man gave a cold smile, with a hint of nonchalance:

"Anyway, without Brother Liekong's authorization, they definitely wouldn't be able to get here. They might have already gotten themselves killed outside, so there's no need to worry."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the dark-skinned woman, his expression immediately becoming ingratiating.

"Is that right, Miss?" The young lady nodded: "Of course, even if someone could break into the bizarre realm built by my elder brother, they would only be a headless fly."

Wang Dongdong was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.

She actually experienced it firsthand.

The faceless man chuckled, "That wouldn't be good. Don't we need that token? What if it falls into... that threshold space? Who will retrieve it?"

"Anyway, it's not our turn." The handsome man replied casually, slamming a card on the table. "We just need to keep an eye on those natives here. Once things are done, someone else will clean up the mess."

"By the way, do you still have... that thing?"

"Yes, yes, of course."

The skinless man nodded hurriedly and obsequiously pulled out a small packet of colorful powder from his pocket.

Just as the handsome man was about to take it, the "young lady" beside him coughed lightly, and he immediately smiled and gave a light reprimand:
"Faceless, how can you be so insensible? You should be showing respect to the young lady first!"

"Yes, yes, it is my own stupidity."

The young lady did not refuse.

He took the packet of powder, snapped his fingers, and the powder silently ignited, turning into wisps of colorful flames in the air.

She lowered her head slightly and sniffed, revealing an expression of infatuation and rapture.

The faceless man took out another package and gave it to the handsome man.

The man seemed oblivious to the obvious pain on his face.

He lit one and took a drag, his features instantly contorting with excitement, his expression revealing an almost manic satisfaction.

"Faceless is so sensible. Without this thing, it would be so boring here with nothing at all. It's only those natives who treat these things like treasures..."

The ice sculpture man spoke up: "At such a crucial time, it's best to smoke less, as it can easily lead to mental instability."

His tone was cold and his manner rigid.

"Sigh, if you can't smoke it yourself, are you going to refuse to let us smoke it?" The handsome man then looked at the faceless man, "Why aren't you smoking it?"

The faceless man revealed a drooling expression, but for some reason, he looked timidly at the woman with the metal ring next to him, swallowed, and shook his head.

"That's all the stock I have left. I'll save it for the young lady."

These faces were all very large, and every subtle expression was magnified, which Wang Dongdong could see clearly.

But the woman's expression was unreadable.

Because those rings on the face damage the muscles, making it impossible to make any expressions except for a ferocious look.

"Tsk, so stingy."

The young lady was enjoying herself, and chuckled lightly as she scolded him.

The handsome man chimed in, "That's right, they don't even know how to enjoy life."

He casually tossed out a few cards, glanced at the cluster of flowers, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Speaking of which, some of the women among these natives... are actually quite pretty."

Snapped!
The woman with metal rings all over her face suddenly threw a card onto the table, her eyes so sharp they could almost tear the man apart.

"I'm here, don't get any funny ideas."

"Hey, can't you just turn a blind eye?"

"No."

"Tch, you old hag..." The handsome man rolled his eyes, threw the cards on the table, and said, "I'm not playing anymore, it's so boring."

"You're just cheating because you're about to lose!" Faceless couldn't help but shout.

The ice sculpture coldly put down the cards.

The handsome man put his hands behind his head, leaned back lazily, his body creaking, and muttered languidly:

"Why do you think these natives, even though they haven't reached...that level, are able to maintain this appearance—the appearance of those high-ranking nobles?"

The ice sculpture man spoke calmly: "These natives have a very special living environment. They can cultivate and become stronger without relying on strange energy, which is exactly what we want."

The young lady's expression darkened slightly as she touched her face, which was covered in fluorescent patterns, seemingly quite concerned about the matter.

"They could only have done that because they stole our stuff! Those thieves!"

"Why are you so sure?"

The woman with the metal ring suddenly spoke.

Are you questioning the group's judgment?

The young lady glanced at her, her tone carrying a warning.

Seeing that the "young lady" was in a bad mood, Wumian, being both sensible and considerate, took out a packet of variegated powder and offered it to her.

"I'm just wondering, when exactly did the thing that everyone is so sure was stolen... appear in the world, and does it match the time when cultivation and awakening occurred in that world?"

"Furthermore, if it can really help with cultivation, why are those people's cultivation levels still so low?"

The handsome man said irritably, "That's because these natives are too stupid—"

"That can't be right. Wasn't it because he was trapped in the abyss's black barrier and his cultivation limit was locked by a higher dimension? That means that thing is of no help in breaking through the higher dimension's blockade."

The young lady, puffing on her colorful cigarette, seemed to be in a much better mood and even showed a hint of curiosity.

"You usually don't care about these things, why suddenly..."

"Nothing, just asking."

Wang Dongdong was anxious.

I wish this woman with metal rings all over her face would ask her a few more questions.

Every question was exactly what she cared about.

Thankfully, the woman spoke again.

"So even if that thing exists, it still can't escape higher dimensions, so what's the point?"

"That's because these natives don't know how to use it; they're sitting on a mountain of treasure without realizing it," the handsome man sneered.

"But do you understand?"

A moment of silence fell.

Only colorful mist rises.

The young lady scoffed, "We'll know once we get it. Otherwise, why would those imperial nobles be so eager to get it?"

Her face appeared and disappeared in the colorful mist, like melted oil paint, and even her voice sounded somewhat ethereal.

"Perhaps... with that thing, we can become nobles too, and escape the mortal realm even before those good-for-nothing bastards..."

The handsome man was also tipsy: "Young lady is right. Besides, if it works out, we scavengers will finally have a home—"

"Are you talking about... the Immortal Ship?" the woman with the metal ring interrupted coldly. "I don't think you're referring to that planet, are you? Its descent is imminent, and it won't be its 'home' for long."

"Of course, who wants that crappy planet?"

The young lady smiled disdainfully, her eyes gradually turning into a kaleidoscope of colors.

"It's just a temporary place to stay. The Abyss Black Barrier is a bad thing, but... it's also a good protective wall. At least those nobles can't chase us in."

Wang Dongdong opened his eyes wide, his back soaked with cold sweat.

Although most of it was incomprehensible, they understood why these people attacked, what they wanted, and what was even more terrifying—

"So, now we need to open a portal to enter the other party's world, but we need enough tokens to obtain sufficient permissions..."

The woman with the metal ring seemed to be muttering to herself.

The handsome man continued, "That's right, but we're just the first wave. The key is how well the rest of us perform."

"I see."

The woman with the metal ring nodded, seemingly finally satisfied with her curiosity.

"Then... how did you know that thing was hidden in that world? And how do you plan to find it?"

These are the questions Wang Dongdong also wanted to ask.

But at the same time, she finally realized that something was wrong.

Not to mention the other party.

The other two were basking in their own light, oblivious to everything, but for the Frost Man who hadn't inhaled anything, everything was crystal clear.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you asking so many questions... Wait, who are you? I don't remember you—"

However, the words were not finished yet.

The Frost Man was blasted into pieces by a bolt of lightning.

However, these fragments were still active and kept converging towards the center, but the woman threw out countless golden lightning bolts, completely shattering them into a cloud of snow-white mist.

The handsome man, still swaying and nodding in a daze, finally came to his senses and was about to make a move when the ghostly figure swiftly and cleanly slit his throat.

"Be bold!"

"Young Miss" shouted angrily.

But after inhaling the variegated powder, his vision was blurry, and his attacks were scattered left and right, like a drunkard playing rock-paper-scissors, completely inaccurate.

In the end, the opponent easily closed in on him, pressed him down in their palm, and wrapped his entire body with fine golden threads.

"Don't worry, it's over."

The woman with the metal ring stared intently at Wang Dongdong, who was hiding in the artificial hill and was still bewildered by the sudden turn of events.
