Versatile Mage: I have 999 talents!

Chapter 242 This Apas...maybe it can be used to make soup!

Wang Feng's figure silently blended into the night, heading towards the source of the scorching light.

Many silver serpent warriors roamed around, but they were completely unaware of his presence—even as he walked right past them, these demons still surveyed him blankly, as if he were just a phantom in the night wind.

Finally, he stopped in front of a dark mud tower.

A sinister bronze mirror is embedded at the top of the tower, with a murky eyeball in the center of the mirror, emitting a faint, eerie light.

The light mingled with the moonlight, creating an illusion for those gazing at the night sky—as if the moon had turned a sickly bluish-green, sending chills down their spines.

“The Eye of Destruction…” Wang Feng murmured, a slight smile playing on his lips, “It’s an unexpected bonus.”

He raised his hand and took off the evil eye without hesitation.

Around the mud tower, the Night-Slaying Blood Bats, who should have been on guard, remained asleep in the shadows of the ancient temple, completely unaware.

Their supposedly superior perception was utterly useless in front of Wang Feng.

...

After storing away the Blazing Eye, Wang Feng continued deeper into the Sunset Temple.

He passed through several collapsed pillars and arrived at the ruins of a cluster of palaces. After a brief pause, he took out a few desert worms from his robes and gently released them.

As soon as these tiny insects landed, they seemed to be guided and quickly crawled in a certain direction.

Wang Feng followed silently, passing through several ancient buildings entwined with vines, and finally found a strand of dark purple hair under an altar covered with vegetation.

“It’s been falling out for a while now…” He picked up a strand of hair and ran his fingertips over it to make his judgment.

He released the desert worms again, and this time they led him to a dilapidated stone temple with a domed roof.

Moonlight poured down through the gap, illuminating a silky smooth object inside the hall—on which worms were greedily gnawing.

Wang Feng approached and bent down to examine it.

It was a strand of long hair that still carried the warmth of the setting sun.

Is this the place?

Wang Feng slowly stepped into the dilapidated stone hall. Moonlight poured down from the broken dome, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

His footsteps echoed in the empty hall, each step carrying an irresistible sense of oppression.

suddenly--

A petite figure flashed past behind the stone pillar, quickly disappearing into the dark corner where the moonlight couldn't reach, like a startled little animal.

Wang Feng's gaze locked precisely on the shadow, and a playful smile curved his lips.

"Did you come out on your own?" His voice was deep and calm, with a hint of mockery. "Or should I go over and drag you out?"

The hall was silent, save for the mournful sound of the night wind whistling through the ruins. But Wang Feng knew that the cunning little fellow was hiding there—the still-warm strand of hair by the door said it all.

"Big, big brother"

A timid voice suddenly came from the darkness, trembling slightly, as if it had suffered a great injustice.

The voice was so soft and sweet that it could melt anyone's heart, like a wounded fawn whimpering softly.

"Are you a bad person?"

A hint of interest flashed in Wang Feng's eyes.

As expected of a little snake spirit, her acting skills are simply natural.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been completely fooled by her pitiful appearance.

The moonlight shifted, vaguely illuminating the figure huddled in the corner—a seemingly frail and helpless girl, looking at him with fearful, wet eyes.

Wang Feng sneered inwardly.

"You're putting on quite a show." He countered, a hint of amusement in his voice.

Apas bit her lower lip, her eyes quickly welling up with tears. "Big brother~," she murmured, her voice soft and sweet, trembling slightly.
"I'm really not Medusa. I was captured. Medusa loves to eat the hearts of young girls. The girl from my village has already been eaten by her, and I'm next."

As she spoke, she subtly shrank her shoulders, her slender body appearing particularly fragile in the moonlight.

Wang Feng raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes. "Oh?" he deliberately dragged out his words, "But I don't believe it—unless you come out yourself and let me see if you have a tail."

A rustling sound came from the corner. Apas seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally slowly moved her body, peeking half of herself out of the shadows.

The moonlight poured down like water, illuminating her appearance—

Despite being ragged and covered in dust, her breathtaking beauty was undeniable.

Her fair skin shone with a pearly luster under the moonlight, as if a piece of beautiful jade, covered in dust, had finally revealed its true face.

A strand of light blue hair slipped down her forehead, making her large, moist eyes appear even brighter and more captivating.

She timidly raised her head, looking at Wang Feng with innocent, doe-like eyes.

The tattered dress hung loosely on her petite figure, which only added to her pitiful and vulnerable appearance.

"Um... big brother, could I borrow your jacket for a moment?"

Before Apas could finish speaking, a flash of silver light suddenly appeared in Wang Feng's eyes.

"what!"

She gasped in surprise as her petite figure was uncontrollably revealed from the shadows—in the moonlight, her slender, shapely legs were on full display, and her skin was as smooth and translucent as mutton fat jade.

Especially her small, delicate jade feet, with her rounded toes slightly curled, gleamed like pearls in the moonlight, making one want to hold them in the palm of one's hand and caress them.

What's even more arousing is that her tattered dress could barely cover half of her shapely buttocks, and with her movements, her alluring curves were revealed glimpsed.

Wang Feng's eyes suddenly darkened, and a dark glint flashed in his eyes when his gaze fell on Apas.

—A mythical beast?
The thought flashed through his mind, but then he felt it was only natural.

After all, snakes are covered in scales, so it's reasonable that they don't have hair.

After all... Austin didn't have that either.

"Big brother, don't look."

Apas collapsed to the ground in a panic, her slender fingers clutching the tattered hem of her skirt as she tried to cover herself.

Under the moonlight, her fair skin glowed faintly, her cheeks were flushed, and her wet eyes were filled with panic and innocence, trembling slightly like a frightened little animal.

Wang Feng's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

Her disguise was indeed perfect—her shy expression, her trembling voice, and even her perfectly timed panic were enough to make people lower their guard.

But Wang Feng keenly caught the fleeting slyness in her eyes.

"Excuse me, I just need to confirm something—after all, I'm not sure if you're trying to trick me into getting close and then turn me into a stone statue with those eyes."

Apas's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a barely perceptible hint of darkness flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by innocence.

She curled up, her voice soft and weak: "I... I don't have that kind of power, big brother, you've misunderstood."

Wang Feng ignored her explanation and instead took out an antique silver ring from his pocket.

The ring appears simple and unadorned, but its surface is subtly covered with obscure runes that gleam faintly in the moonlight.

—The Ring of Contracts.

This is a treasure he obtained from Zhao Manyan in exchange for the petals of the thousand-year-old Tianshan Sacred Lotus.
