Chapter 90, One of the Perilous Places: The Abyss's Shadow, Ling Qiqi's Transformation

Above the wasteland.

Lin Ran left the hovercar and headed towards Ling Qiqi's location.

Not long after, Ling Qiqi entered the communication range.

Lin Ran: Seven Seven.

Ling Qiqi: Captain, come over later!

Lin Ran: ?

Lin Ran paused for a moment, then quickly sped up after a brief thought.

He once said that if there was a problem, she should come to him, the team leader, so Ling Qiqi had obviously encountered a problem that was difficult to talk about.

However, in this situation, it can actually speed up the process.

A few seconds later.

When Lin Ran saw Ling Qiqi covering her face, a question mark slowly appeared above her head.

"?"

The current Ling Qiqi has grown a pair of gray goat horns on her head and has a long, thin tail with a heart at the tip.

She was dressed normally, but there was a noticeable fluctuation in her lower abdomen, which, in the reflection of her spiritual energy, was a mark very consistent with the identity of a succubus.

Succubus Ling Qiqi!!!

Lin Ran looked in the direction Ling Qiqi had come from, recalling the map in her notebook.

One of the eight most dangerous places, the Abyss Phantom!

"Captain~"

Lin Ran trembled slightly, never expecting Ling Qiqi's voice to be so beautiful.

Immediately afterward, the Soul-Slaying Bell stirred slightly, making him realize what was happening.

This is Ling Qiqi's innate sonic charm, which she somehow acquired after becoming a succubus.

Lin Ran landed in front of Ling Qiqi with a strange expression.

Ling Qiqi sensed it and turned away, unwilling to face Lin Ran.

Then he pressed down on her shoulders and turned her around.

"Seven Seven,"

"Captain, I..."

Lin Ran interrupted her.

Tell me, who bullied you?

"...?"

Ling Qiqi froze for a moment, then slowly lowered her hand, her heart-shaped eyes staring blankly at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran patted her head and sent her a little spiritual energy to calm her down.

"Come on, tell me, who bullied you?"

Ling Qiqi stared blankly at Lin Ran.

Just then, another magnetic female voice rang out from not far away.

"How enviable!"

Lin Ran looked in the direction of the sound.

Then a fair-skinned, beautiful succubus with long legs slowly walked over. She was an older sister type of succubus, wearing very little clothing, and her skin was dazzlingly white.

Lin Ran noticed that Ling Qiqi had a similar aura to her, so she pulled Ling Qiqi behind her.

He questioned the succubus.

"You turned her into a succubus?"

"This little girl killed dozens of my sisters. If I hadn't arrived in time, all the sisters in the city would have been wiped out. What do you suggest I do with her?"

Ling Qiqi quickly said, "Captain, it's because of those succubi..."

"Wait a minute."

Lin Ran interrupted Ling Qiqi, continued looking at the succubus, and calmly said,

"So what if I kill him?"

Succubus: ...

Ling Qiqi: ……

Captain, you...

Ling Qiqi's heart raced; influenced by the succubus bloodline, she began to have wild thoughts.

The succubus's face darkened for a moment, then she laughed again.

"Hahaha~ No wonder! No wonder you were able to resist your instincts when you first acquired succubus blood! Hahaha..."

Lin Ran frowned, feeling that the succubus's laughter was a bit arrogant, as if she was mocking him.

boom!

A deafening roar suddenly echoed across the wilderness, and the laughing succubus was blasted hundreds of meters away, crashing into a boulder that shattered into pieces.

Lin Ran patted Ling Qiqi's head.

"Qiqi, you go back first... wait a minute."

Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu stared at Ling Qiqi for a while, then nodded.

"Yes, but it will rebound."

Lin Ran looked at Ling Qiqi:

"Zhou Yu can temporarily suppress your succubus bloodline, but it will rebound afterward."

"I can't solve the bloodline problem right now; I'll have to wait until I return to the Mother Realm to figure it out."

Ling Qiqi paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."

"Cursed Soul!"

A cold, sticky force rushed into Ling Qiqi's body, making her instantly alert and calming her down.

Recalling everything that had happened before, Ling Qiqi's eyes were filled with murderous intent as she looked at the succubus.

"Captain, I want to handle this myself!"

"Go."

Lin Ran patted Ling Qiqi on the shoulder and looked in the direction the succubus had come from.

There, black mist appeared out of nowhere, almost blotting out the sky!

Countless demonic figures burst forth from the black mist, roaring as they charged forward.

"I'll take care of them."

The words fell.

Lin Ran's figure disappeared.

Two seconds later, golden light burst forth from the abyss demons, followed by a giant mushroom cloud that slowly rose, and countless demon figures disappeared within it.

Looking at the mushroom cloud, Nangong Yu sighed:

"As expected of the captain, he's still as strong as ever."

Zhou Yu glanced at Nangong Yu suspiciously, feeling that she was implying something.

Ling Qiqi didn't realize that after the succubus blood was suppressed, her calm rationality prevailed, and she picked up the ring-pommel sword left by Lin Ran and walked towards the succubus.

By this time, the succubus had struggled out of the boulder and could see the mushroom cloud in the distance.

She paused for a moment,

"No wonder..."

call out!

The ring-pommel sword came hurtling through the air, and the succubus instinctively dodged, leaving a crack tens of meters long in its wake.

Ling Qiqi rushed over and slashed at the succubus again.

The succubus dodged again, unfurling a pair of bat wings from her back, her eyes glowing pink as she attempted to control Ling Qiqi's succubus blood, but she failed.

Seeing that she couldn't affect Ling Qiqi and that her strongest methods were basically useless, the succubus decisively turned around and fled to the danger zone.

Zhou Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and she silently uttered a syllable.

"Death Curse!"

The succubus's expression changed as a chilling, sticky aura rushed into her mind. The magic mirror hidden deep within her mind only flickered slightly before the curse bypassed it.

"Hehe...haha...it hurts so much...ahhh...die die die!!!"

Countless faces instantly sprang from her soul, each one howling, eventually merging into a single voice.

"Die! Die! Die!"

The succubus's expression changed drastically. The drastic change in her soul made her unable to control her power, and she fell heavily from the sky. Countless human faces grew on her face, head, and exposed skin at the same time.

The piercing sound assaulted her soul; had the succubus not been skilled in soul manipulation, she would not have been able to maintain her consciousness.

Ling Qiqi rushed forward with a knife in hand, followed by Nangong Yu's gentle voice.

I said: To fight against a curse is evil, and evil will be purified.

boom!

A white light appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the succubus, but it was clearly distinct from the curse, which was of conflicting attributes, and went straight into the succubus's soul.

The succubus felt a warmth, but an unconcealable terror surfaced within her; this warmth was destroying her will to resist the curse!

Under Nangong Yu's full force, the succubus held out for two seconds before collapsing completely, her soul utterly possessed by the curse, leaving her powerless to resist.

Ling Qiqi raised her ring-pommel sword, severing the succubus's left hand with one stroke, then her left arm with another, followed by her shoulder, and then her right hand...

The severed limbs quickly took the place of human faces and soon completely disappeared into the air.

Taking advantage of her face, Ling Qiqi realized that Nangong Yu and Zhou Yu still had enough strength left, so she started from the succubus's limbs and carefully cut them into pieces.

It's a bit of a shame that there wasn't a succubus's scream.

A full three minutes later.

The succubus was cut off, leaving only her head, but her soul was not completely extinguished.

Just as her last vestige of soul was about to be consumed by the curse, the succubus, in a final burst of energy, looked at Ling Qiqi and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha... I lost, but you'll lose too! You will too!"
