Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 660 The Evil of Human Nature

Shameless.

Li Miao looked at the guy who came ashore with utter contempt.

Of course, jokes aside, he wouldn't actually charge someone money for a low-level spell; he was just testing whether the other party knew what they were doing.

Now it seems this guy is a little too sensible.

"Oh, my godfather is really kind of you."

Looking smugly at the [Thirsty Light Induction] spell in his hand, he had a feeling that if he invested resources to level it up, it would be extremely useful.

While the father and son were joking around and chatting, Yuanfang, who had been carefully observing the situation, also made a new discovery.

He found some broken stone tablet fragments in the Soul Cleansing Night Pool, collected them all and brought them to the shore, and quickly pieced them together.

You piece together the shattered stone tablet, and the information left on it becomes clear.

[The above contains a method for practicing a combat technique.]

[Consuming 1000 wax oils will grant you detailed information and allow you to learn more about it.]

Upon seeing the contents of the broken stone tablet on the ground and the prompts in the information panel, Yuanfang did not hesitate to consume the wax oil.

A moment later, the information on the stone tablet appeared before his eyes.

"The fire that ignited the long night has enlightened me, and I share it with you... May the flame burn brightly for those who come after you."

[You can learn the combat skill "Unyielding Ambition".]

【Combat Skill: Unyielding Ambition】

[Type: Skill]

[Quality: Firefly]

[Effect: Embrace yourself, remain unmoved, slowly recover from your injuries by consuming the power of battle, and reduce damage taken during this period.]

[Note: These are the combat techniques that the hero Aluka learned after being inspired, which he inscribed on a stone tablet as a gift to future generations.]

Another item left behind by the hero Alucard, a rather precious combat skill.

He selflessly gave it to those who came after him.

however……

Looking at the dense cracks on the pieced-together stone tablet, Yuanfang couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

There are many selfish people in the world, just like the NPC Li Miao encountered before, who would destroy the bridge after crossing the river.

The stone tablet must have been broken for the same reason.

At this moment, Li Miao and Shang An also came over and discovered the information on the stone tablet.

"Another thing left behind by the hero Aluga... This NPC is such a good person."

"Unfortunately, many of those born in the Long Night Divine Realm learned combat skills and then destroyed the stone tablet."

"...Even the person who destroyed the stone tablet might not be able to learn this combat skill."

Li Miao and the other two, who had just gone ashore, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Although they did not encounter many attacks from NPCs during this period, and were even unable to communicate with them, they witnessed the evil hidden in human nature time and time again.

"Let's try this Soul Cleansing Pool next. The description says it can cleanse the soul. Let me see how it works..."

"I guess I should meditate and close my eyes..."

After muttering to himself twice, Li Miao sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes.

After calming down and focusing for a moment.

Li Miao felt a cool sensation pour down from the top of his head.

This stirred something within him, and he quickly resumed meditating.

And that coolness became increasingly noticeable, until…

"How's it going, Brother Miao? Are you about to ascend?"

"Hahahahaha!"

He laughed out loud with joy after getting ashore.

Li Miao suddenly realized something was wrong. He touched his head and found that it was the kid who had come ashore who was pouring water on his head.

"Damn it, you son of a bitch!" Li Miao was furious and immediately wanted to teach the other party a lesson.

At this moment, Yuanfang spoke up to remind them, "I've already tried it, and the effect of the Soul Cleansing Night Pool should be useless for us players."

Upon hearing this, Li Miao was speechless: "Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

"To further confirm," Yuanfang said very carefully.

It is irresponsible to draw conclusions based on just one attempt.

“…” Li Miao.

The Soul Cleansing Pool didn't give them any special effects, and they used all the inspiration from the Long Night Statue.

Next, the three of them naturally had to embark on their journey to leave this place.

However, at Yuanfang's suggestion, they did not immediately continue along the path of the hero Aluga, but instead decided to turn back and head towards the Statue of the Long Night in the direction Li Miao had come from.

The number of sacrifices for this Long Night idol is not shared by the team, but rather each person has to make three sacrifices.

Li Miao has already used it twice, and Yuan Fang also found the Long Night Statue on the way here and used it twice, but has not used it since coming ashore.

"Yes, I have so many Night Stones on me, I need to change them."

Upon reaching the shore, his eyes lit up. Although he hadn't encountered any special events, he had killed quite a few Dark Ones, and naturally collected a large pile of Dark Night Stones.

Li Miao looked at Yuanfang with some surprise: "Yuanfang, why did you leave yourself an opportunity? Did you also ask that guiding clam?"

“That was asked later.” Yuanfang shook his head, then took out a pitch-black skull: “Because I found this.”

[Nightmare Skull]

[Type: Special Item]

[Effect: Offer this item to the statue of the Long Night to embark on an unknown path.]

[Description: A skull fragment of a wandering nightmare, containing the power of that nightmare.]

Upon seeing this, Li Miao's brow twitched: "You encountered that wandering nightmare the Guiding Clam mentioned? No wonder..."

Although there was no guidance from the giant clam in the distance, they encountered the wandering nightmare needed to open the nightmare route on their way there and successfully killed it, so they did not use up all the sacrifice opportunities of the Long Night Idol.

"Is this lingering nightmare still there?"

"The ignition point is quite high, so it might not refresh again. We can check on the way back," Yuanfang replied.

"So, shall we split into two groups?" Li Miao looked into the distance, seeking his opinion.

If the Nightmare Path can only accommodate one person at a time, then that's all they can do.

"Let's go back and see first. If we can't go in together, then so be it," Yuanfang said.

After making a decision.

The three of them soon stepped back into the night.

Night once again enveloped everything.

The three of them also moved towards their respective goals.

Li Miao and Shang An arrived at the Long Night Statue and exchanged some decent items.

Meanwhile, they quickly arrived at the place where they had encountered the wandering nightmare, but the monster did not respawn.

Some time later, the three met at the statue of the Long Night.

After preparing, the figure in the distance presented the Nightmare Skull to the figure in the long night.

You offered the "Nightmare Skull" as a sacrifice to the idol of the Long Night.

Close your eyes to prepare for the nightmare...

The Nightmare Skull rapidly transformed into a semi-transparent, eerie power, hovering above the Long Night Statue, awaiting action from afar.

It's not some kind of portal or anything like that...

It seems this nightmare route can only accommodate one person at a time...

Seeing this, Yuanfang could only shake his head and, as he had previously agreed with the two, flashed his eyes back and forth in their sight twice.

Then he closed his eyes.

The power of nightmares also descended from the statue of the Long Night...
