Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 719 Too Skilled

"So...it's the Long Night's Flame that makes you treat every trial participant this way?"

Upon reaching the shore, his brow furrowed.

Force good girls into prostitution?

Li Miao frowned slightly, but he still felt that things were not so simple.

As expected, Kenara quickly denied the "coercion" claim.

"No, He only had me confuse the trial participants; as for the rest... it was my own choice."

At this point, Kenara smiled.

"It may sound shameless and I might be scorned for saying this, but I once longed for this feeling so much."

"Now that I'm no longer disliked, of course I want to give it a try."

"Moreover, I enjoy the way these heroes who come and go like me."

Kenara, this bodhisattva, remains very candid.

This left the two of them looking at each other, unsure of what to say.

Li Miao sighed inwardly.

Although he wasn't a psychology expert, he could somewhat understand Kenara's thoughts.

Clearly, Kenara's self-doubt was deeply ingrained due to the inferiority complex stemming from her long-standing ugliness.

Such self-doubt far exceeds the moral standards of ordinary people, and has already distorted her mentality. Is shame or not more important than gaining recognition?

Therefore, after the Long Night's Flame bestowed upon her beauty and made her popular among the trial participants, her feelings completely transformed into something else entirely, a feeling that was difficult to describe.

If she were just an ordinary person.

It definitely wouldn't have turned out like this.

Unfortunately, the world is full of "what ifs".

"You really are quite sincere..." A twitch appeared on the corner of his mouth as he went ashore.

"so what?"

"Is this why you came?"

"Want to show your... affection for me?"

Kenara rested her chin on her hand and winked at him gently, looking charming yet sexy.

Holy crap! Holy crap!!!
This female boss is so shrewd!
Upon reaching the shore, he felt an invisible electric current flash across his body, causing him to shudder.

If this were in real life, his light stick would probably turn bright red instantly.

However, since it was in a game, he naturally raised his hand to stop her, saying righteously, "No, don't overthink it, I'm not that kind of man!"

"Come on, you're just pretending."

Li Miao rolled her eyes, then told Kenara the truth without hesitation.

"Ah... I see." Upon hearing this, Kenara couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, her beautiful eyes curving into crescent moons.

"But our aesthetic sense is still on point; you are indeed very beautiful now."

Li Miao gave a compliment.

Kenara naturally accepted with a smile.

A man who isn't troubled by certain things gives her compliments that actually make her feel happy.

"Okay, thank you for sharing your story with us."

"We should go."

Li Miao stood up and said goodbye to her.

Kenara nodded gently, saw them to the temple entrance, and then watched them leave.

However, her gaze lingered more on Li Miao's back.

"You and him are so alike..."

"But she seems to be even better than him..."

"If only it had been you I waited for back then..."

Watching Li Miao's departing figure, Kenara leaned against the temple door and murmured to herself.

……

The desolate mummy, who had been watching the temple gate, naturally saw Kenara. He was initially delighted, but then he suddenly noticed that Kenara's expression was a little strange.

Not only did they not notice him at all, but their gaze remained fixed on Li Miao. "Damn it!"

"Why does Kenara seem so hung up on those two bastards?!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"My Kenara!"

The desolate corpse pounded the ground again and again, as if he could hear Kenara's gentle voice saying to him: "Don't look at me, I'm afraid that knight will misunderstand..."

"Do not!!!"

……

"Was this 'kidney deficiency monster' designed to be funny? It's hilarious."

He was so happy when he got ashore that he couldn't stop smiling.

"Kidney deficiency freak... You really know how to come up with nicknames."

Li Miao was also amused.

Amidst laughter and conversation, they returned to the battlefield where they had previously clashed with the Chaosless Formless.

Chaos Wuxiang still shows no signs of resurrection. It seems that even powerful beings like him and the Ancient Dragon Projection will need a long time to be resurrected.

Or perhaps it simply can't be resurrected again; who knows?

Of course, the two of them weren't there to visit him.

Having made preparations, the two did not dawdle. They quickly adjusted their mindset and emotions and embarked on the void path leading to the next trial ground.

It's different from before.

The road was very peaceful this time.

No monsters bothered them; the silence was almost unsettling.

This distracted him, and he quickly glanced at other places.

Although he felt unsteady for a moment, he was now very familiar with the feeling, otherwise he wouldn't dare to play like that.

And with that glance, he actually made a discovery.

After glancing at it again to confirm, he stopped and spoke to Li Miao ahead of him to relay the message.

"Miaozi, look to the lower right, there's a small star."

"It's probably a bonus level."

He said this while staring at the stars after getting ashore.

"Damn it, you can't just mess around and lie about this. It's hard to say whether we can even fly back from this distance."

Li Miao gave a warning without looking at him, sensing that this guy might be deliberately seeking revenge.

"Fine, if you're not going, I'll go myself."

My good intentions were met with ingratitude; I was so angry when I got ashore that I immediately turned my attention to another star.

His body naturally sank down along with the location of that star.

Although he said he didn't trust it, Li Miao quickly turned his gaze back to the star and then looked away.

The two arrived at the star without any obstacles and stepped into it without any hindrance.

But soon, as the starlight faded, a strange, high wall appeared before them.

Li Miao looked up but couldn't see the very top of the high wall.

However, he immediately spotted the familiar groove on the high wall.

【Cornered Key (Mark of the Long Night)】

Li Miao took out the item he had previously obtained from Gu Long's projection from his inventory.

Judging from the appearance, this corner key should be the key item used to trigger the high wall mechanism.

After Li Miao glanced at the shore, he immediately pressed the corner key into the groove.

There was no immediate reaction, but after a moment's thought, Li Miao injected some fire, and the high wall began to tremble and start to descend.

Seeing this, Li Miao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

To get here, you not only need to perfectly complete the previous trial, but you also need to find and defeat the hidden boss, the Ancient Dragon projection. Both conditions are indispensable...

Now, they have successfully met this demanding condition... What kind of reward will the trial of the long night bring?
