Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 704 Withered Kidneys

"what?"

Seeing the scene before him, he was dumbfounded, never expecting that the corpse in front of him was actually the original form of the remnant spirit in his belly.

After the remnant spirit inside the abdomen flew into the corpse, it quickly disappeared into it.

Before long, some pale white soul matter attached itself to the corpse's body, revealing its outline before death.

At that moment, he seemed to come back to life.

Seeing this, Li Miao was about to ask the other party some questions.

But the corpse ignored Li Miao, stood up, and after a moment of confusion, suddenly knelt down in one of the directions.

"I made the wrong choice..."

"Please forgive me……"

"To die in this agony is the just punishment I deserve for my shallow behavior..."

The remaining spirit inside the abdomen knelt on the ground, uttering murmurs of repentance.

No matter what questions Li Miao and the two people on the shore asked, he did not respond.

Clearly, this was the lingering spirit's obsession before death, and he had only one thought: to apologize.

It didn't take long.

The remaining spirit inside the abdomen began to dissipate, and the corpse, losing its support, fell back to the ground, lifeless.

See this situation.

Li Miao frowned slightly.

The direction in which the remnant spirit inside their bellies knelt seemed to be the same place they had come from, the same forest where the ugly elder had been.

"What does 'wrong choice' mean?"

He went ashore, stroking his chin, pondering the deeper meaning of the remnant spirit's words within his belly.

But it is clear that they can hardly understand from a few words what the remaining spirit in the womb did in life, or why it left behind this obsession with repentance.

Li Miao suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some items left among the corpses on the ground, and bent down to pick them up.

This is something that resembles a glass bead, and it seems to contain some information.

[Acquired: The Trialer's Confession]

The Trialer's Confession

Type: Token of Love

[Effect: Giving this to the person the trial participant repents to may reveal some unknown information.]

[Note: The trial participant seems to have chosen death, perhaps as a way to atone for the guilt in their heart.]

Li Miao seemed to be deep in thought, and then showed it to the person who went ashore.

"What does that mean? This trial participant actually committed suicide?"

He scratched his head after getting ashore, feeling a bit bewildered.

Li Miao didn't say anything, but looked ahead: "Let's ignore it for now and keep moving forward. The core of this desolate land may be just ahead."

Looking in the direction he was looking, a faint path had appeared between two barren, low hills, suggesting that many trial participants had passed through this place.

The two moved on.

But the road ahead is not smooth.

Unlike the peaceful and tranquil forest before, this place is desolate and lonely, and monsters that have lost their minds appear from time to time.

Even though it had a low ignition point and was weak, it still dared to attack the two of them, like a starving beast before it died. It was so ruthless that it wanted to bite off a piece of their flesh even if it meant death, which was chilling.

call--

Suddenly, a strong wind swept by, carrying yellow sand, which instantly obscured their vision.

As if sensing something, Li Miao's gaze sharpened, and without hesitation, he turned sideways and thrust his spear horizontally.

when--

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and the sudden attack was blocked by the Frost Cavalry Lance.

As the two were locked in a stalemate, a streak of starlight pierced through the raging sands and swiftly landed on the attacker's body.

The attacker reacted quickly, abandoning his attack on Li Miao and retreating to dodge.

The two also recognized the attackers.

[Desolate Mummified Corpse]

[Rank: Torch Flame]

【Level: 65】

(More information has been hidden)

[Note: The body, shriveled and withered like a corpse, seems to have been drained of its essence. Judging from the attire... it appears to be a trial participant?] "Hmph..."

The desolate, mummified corpse, wielding a triangular blade, stared coldly at the two with sunken eyes, its throat emitting a hoarse sound.

"Are those scumbags coveting Kenara's body again...?"

"Do not……"

"Kenara belongs to me alone..."

"No one... is allowed to touch it!"

"I'll kill you..."

Bang!
Before the desolate corpse could finish speaking, a huge meteorite fell directly from above and smashed into his head, abruptly ending his words.

Li Miao followed without hesitation, taking the opportunity to brandish his lance.

"The King's Lament... the Annihilation Spear!"

Shadows dance wildly, starlight shines brightly.

A few breaths later, Li Miao, holding a long spear, pierced the head of the desolate, dried-up corpse.

"Please be gentle with me... my dear... Kenara..."

You have killed the Desolate Corpse.

"Tch, so weak it doesn't even have super armor, yet it tries to imitate other bosses' opening CG with tough talk. You're really giving yourself a hard time."

He spat dismissively as he got ashore.

If you're trying to show off without having any special abilities, you're just plain stupid!
"That's kind of funny."

Li Miao couldn't help but chuckle.

"But... what did this guy just say... be gentle with his Kenara? What does that mean?"

They were quite surprised when they got ashore.

Li Miao shrugged.

The two then began searching for each other's lost items.

It's very, very strange.

This guy is at least a monster with the power of ignition.

They only provided the two of them with about ten drops of wax.

Even more outrageous is that they only gave one dropped item.

It's unclear whether it was because their faces were too dark or for some other reason.

"Dude, there are more monsters outside than this. Are you trying to fob us off like this?"

"Damn, did the candlekeeper embezzle the wax again?"

Upon reaching the shore, he frowned and immediately pinned the blame on the candlekeeper.

But Li Miao soon made a discovery, seemingly finding some clues that could explain the matter.

That was the only item dropped by this desolate, dried-up corpse.

A withered kidney

Type: Token of Love

[Effect: Entrusting it to someone might yield some unique information.]

[Note: A withered kidney; its owner appears to have experienced some painful yet joyful events in their life.]

"What the hell?"

Upon seeing the dried-up kidney, the two men's expressions immediately turned strange.

Li Miao coughed lightly, then handed it to the person who came ashore: "Here, Brother Wei, you've lost your kidney."

He was stunned for a moment after getting ashore, then cursed after realizing what had happened: "Go to hell, you're the one with kidney deficiency, this is clearly your kidney!"

"Your kidneys!"

"Your kidneys!"

After some playful banter, the two of them, though somewhat disgusted, still took it with them, figuring it might still be useful.

"Kenara... she must be this guy's wife, right?"

"How could he say we coveted his wife's body? We're not Cao Cao."

It still felt a little strange to be ashore.

Li Miao pondered for a moment and guessed, "Hmm...maybe some of the trial participants did something unethical?"

"That makes sense." He nodded in agreement, then said righteously, "Let's go see his wife!"
