While Wei Ning was operating the large map to find dungeons.

A conversation about him is taking place around him in a way he cannot see:

[Li Qiuqiu: Sis, why did you bring this person along?]

[Li Binbin: Intuition.]

[Li Qiuqiu: It's my gut feeling again. You said we'd be in danger, but we're all fine now.]

[Li Qiuqiu: Sister, are you only interested because he's good-looking? In this poor place, he's actually alright, but he's just so unsophisticated. If you want to bring him home, I won't allow it.]

[Li Binbin: His eyes have a very innocent look.]

[Li Qiuqiu: Huh? He was clearly looking around suspiciously.]

[Li Binbin: He wasn't the thief.]

[Li Qiuqiu: Then why did you bring him along?]

[Li Binbin: Useful.]

……

Under the cover of night, Hua Linlong soared through the clouds and mist.

Wei Ning was dozing off, leaning against the malicious dumpling in the dragon's claw.

He was indeed tired. After all, everyone has their limits. Even if he relied on the [Rest] skill and the campfire effect to keep going, it was time for him to take a nap.

Rest is for better leveling up.

With these thoughts in mind, Wei Ning fell asleep.

In his dream, he saw someone playing the zither. The music was melodious, seemingly carrying an unspeakable melancholy.

Wei Ning followed the sound of the zither and slept for a very long time.

When he woke up, it was already completely dark.

He was still in the dragon's claw, and the Flower Scale Dragon was still flying in the air, only its flight mode had changed to circling and hovering.

Wei Ning looked outside and saw that the Li sisters on the dragon's body were nowhere to be seen; it was now in autonomous driving mode.

Wei Ning looked down through the gap in the dragon claw again. Below, clouds and mist swirled, making it impossible to tell where he was.

He had no choice but to turn on the large map view.

From the map view, he has returned to the area above the entrance to Sector 12, with the ruined temple camp below.

"Could you put me down?"

Wei Ning called out to Hua Linlong and casually patted the dragon's claws.

Feilong opened his eyes and met Wei Ning's gaze.

Wei Ning quickly added, "I meant whether we can land, not throw me out."

He checked the remaining amount of his shield to make sure he wouldn't die from the fall before he felt relieved.

The dragon closed its eyes again, flipped itself over, and plummeted rapidly toward the ground.

The wind whistled in Wei Ning's ears, and layers of clouds and water vapor passed right in front of him.

A string of firelight illuminated the path, and a continuous stream of people came and went as the dilapidated temple drew ever closer.

Whoosh—the strong wind subsided, and Hua Linlong landed on the square of the dilapidated temple camp.

With the dragon's claws outstretched, Wei Ning was finally able to stand firmly on the ground.

"Who is this?"

"Shh, keep your voice down."

"What's wrong? Who is this?"

"Isn't that the young lady's dragon?"

"You already know, why ask? Stop talking now."

……

The camp staff were all watching.

At first, Wei Ning thought they were looking at the painting of the dragon, but later he realized that they were looking at him.

Wei Ning became even more certain of the two Ms. Li's status in the Dream Group, or rather, that the Li Group lived up to its reputation.

The mere act of dismounting from Li Binbin's horse was enough to make Wei Ning the most talked-about person in the camp.

Everyone smiled at him, greeted him respectfully, answered his questions, and fulfilled all his requests.

Reserved and distant.

"Where is Captain Li Binbin?"

Wei Ning asked the regimental commander stationed at the camp, but the commander seemed too nervous and did not understand Wei Ning's question at all.

"I have severely criticized them for their disrespect and improper work practices. Our camp management was negligent, and we will never repeat this mistake."

"Apologize to President Wei immediately!"

Beside the group leader were a man from the freight distribution station and a woman who ran the delivery line.

When Wei Ning first arrived, both of them gave him some advice on how to generate orders. Their experience sharing at that time was very kind and sincere.

But in the commander's words, it became disrespect and non-compliance.

Even rectification is needed.

Wei Ninglian said it was fine, that this was good, and demanded that the regimental commander absolutely not interfere with the work of the older brothers and sisters.

Then Wei Ning left the camp.

He felt that the longer he stayed inside, the more problems he would cause.

He still doesn't know why Li Binbin captured him, took him to Feilong, and then dumped him here.

The other party definitely wasn't doing this for fun.

In any case, Wei Ning did not come away without benefits.

At least he no longer needs to use his identity as a deliveryman as a cover.

Now he can openly roam freely in Fog Zone 12, going wherever he wants. He can even freely pick up supplies at various camps or ask nearby teams for help.

In short, Wei Ning quickly set off for the nearest Lv.19 dungeon entrance.

The instance is called [Lv.19 Human Skin Painting Boat]. You need to go through [Tiger Hill] north of the ruined temple and then walk through [Farewell Forest] for about ten kilometers to reach a water town called [Silk Town].

The dungeon entrance is located on the waterway in the town map.

This is also a mobile entrance that will drift along the waterways to several areas of the town map.

Wei Ning thought this was a good thing.

The entrance route is so obvious that it shouldn't be a situation where you're right in front of someone but can't find them.

Just as Wei Ning had predicted.

When he arrived at [Silk Town] after trekking through mountains and rivers, he found the entrance to [Lv.19 Human Skin Painting Boat] as soon as he entered the town.

Spider webs hung along the sides of the town's waterways, extending from the brick walls all the way to the water's surface.

The murky lake water was eerie, and even with campfires on both sides providing illumination, it still exuded a strange atmosphere.

Wei Ning listened to the wind and felt as if there were ghosts sighing in it.

In this small town, a painted boat with a small pink light on it drifts slowly by on the waterway.

Spiderwebs hung from the bow of the boat, one after another, yet they never stopped, like a bride veiled, waiting for someone reckless to lift them.

Wei Ning takes a running start, sprints, and jumps!

Taking the lead, it landed steadily at the bow of the painted boat.

The bow of the boat rose and fell gently, splashing water in bursts.

After regaining his footing, Wei Ning raised the straw and bandages high in the air to summon the [Cursed Puppet].

The magical light spun, and straw and bandages wrapped around each other in the green magical light, gradually forming a two-meter-tall humanoid creature.

"Open the door."

Wei Ning used his mind to control the cursed puppet. The puppet roared in a low voice and its tall body slammed forward, smashing open the door of the pleasure boat.

With a crash, the door panel collapsed, revealing a dark red vortex of mist at the entrance, and a blue marker on the right deck began to glow faintly.

That's it, I've finally broken through. Wei Ning strode forward and raised his hand to touch the vortex.

Panel prompt:

Unable to enter the [Lv.19 Human Skin Boat], you have been [marked] by an assassin.

Wei Ning hardened his fist.

Who the hell is it now?!

Wei Ning scanned both sides of the strait, but there wasn't a single person in sight.

Opening the map, there are only some monsters on the shore:

【Lv.17 Beautiful Spider】

【Lv.16 Silk-Spinning Locust】

……

There wasn't a single person in sight.

If it's not here, could it have been marked by someone long ago?

Assassin and Hunter class Awakened individuals all possess this type of pursuit skill.

It can prevent targets from escaping across areas within a certain range.

To maintain the effect, the user must keep a proper distance from the target.

It can't be too close, and it can't be too far.

Wei Ning immediately expanded the search area and finally found the target on the large map.

About 900 meters behind him, behind a crooked tree at the entrance of the town, a man was squatting with his back against the tree, rubbing two daggers together, mixing and tasting them with poison.

【Lv.19 Tao Youguang - The Tracker】

They're all so idle, constantly interfering with my important matters.

Wei Ning keeps his eyes fixed on the target on the large map.

He used up his experience bar to level up to Lv.19 in one go, then spread his five fingers and unleashed his full power.

Die! Die! Die! Die!

A suffocating grip, a painful curse, a shattered mirror arrow, a cursed touch...

In just a few seconds, all the damaging skills were used.

The figures on the map rolled around on the ground, and soon became lifeless.

Panel prompt:

Defeating [Lv.19 Tao Youguang] grants 0 experience points.

Obtain the [Feign Death - Skill Book - Player]

Obtain the [Storage Box - Tao Youguang]

……

After consuming the skill book, Wei Ning stopped paying attention to his inventory.

He raised his hand again to touch the entrance to the copy.

This time, the familiar feel returned, and the misty vortex spread along his arm, surrounding him.

The scenery before my eyes changed, revealing a bustling market with crowds of people.

The bustling scene inside the instance is completely different from the desolate villages and towns outside.

The sun shone brightly under a clear blue sky. Shops lined the ancient street, and customers thronged the area.

Many young women and men in ancient costumes chatted and laughed, while vendors carrying loads of food shouted their wares along the street.

Panel prompt:

You have entered the [Lv.19 Human Skin Painting Boat]

Limited-time completion rewards:

[Rebirth Amulet - Legend]

【Lv.19 Cursed Armor - Rare】
