Warning! The evil god's minions are invading the eerie dungeon.

"Hehehehe..."

On the operating table, the gash in the female demon's abdomen slowly healed. Seeing Qi Xie's somewhat surprised expression, she revealed a smug, sinister grin.

"Looks like you're a newbie who hasn't read any dungeon guides. You didn't even know my child's level? No wonder you acted so confidently. But it's too late to regret it now..."

"I thought it would be at most a regular restricted-level one! I didn't expect it to be close to dangerous!"

Qi Xie's face lit up with an excited smile.

He was worried that his current performance was simply not good enough!

If the strange occurrences stop, given what we've caught now, it's hard to say whether my partner might just casually nibble on it while eating.

it's good now.

"Three moderately restricted films and four films approaching the level of dangerous restricted films—doesn't that directly meet the performance target?!"

"Um?"

The female ghost stared blankly at Qi Xie.

Why is this guy's reaction different from what she expected?

Moreover, this guy kept muttering about his performance and such... his eyes showed only excitement, not fear.

Something is wrong!

Something's absolutely wrong!

The female ghost felt increasingly uneasy and suddenly turned her head to let out a sharp scream at the ghost baby.

"Tear him apart!!!"

Get started first!

Upon receiving the command, the ghost baby suddenly opened its empty mouth wide and let out a cry like a baby.

The dark blue body exerted force and pushed off, the terrifying force shattering the ground and transforming into a blue light that attacked Qi Xie.

The sharp claws transformed into streaks of light in the air, heading straight for Qi Xie's eye sockets.

Qi Xie was not intimidated at all. He swung his blood axe and retaliated with a powerful, heavy sweeping strike.

when--!

The ghost baby was instantly cleaved and sent flying backward.

With the B-level [Flesh Reforging] buff, Qi Xie can even fight head-on with some of the more dangerous-level monsters, not to mention the ghost infant, which is only close to the dangerous level.

However, the next moment, the female ghost's emaciated figure quietly appeared behind Qi Xie and launched a sneak attack under the cover of the ghost infant.

The female demon's compound eyes stared intently at Qi Xie, then suddenly split her mouth wide, revealing sharp fangs more ferocious than those of a wild beast, and bit down hard on the back of Qi Xie's neck.

It looked like the female ghost was about to bite Qi Xie's neck off.

In the blink of an eye, a tremendous resistance suddenly came from her neck, instantly stopping the female ghost's head from rushing forward.

"Huh?!"

Before the female ghost could even lower her head, the next instant, her wrists, ankles, and thighs were pulled backward, causing her to kneel on the ground with her head tilted back.

"What is that?!"

The female ghost's compound eyes darted around, glancing at her arm out of the corner of her eye.

Several tentacles with open, blood-red vertical eyes bound him tightly like a tightening noose.

The number and strength of these tentacles far exceeded those of the shadow tentacles she had just broken off.

Qi Xie slowly turned his head to look at the female ghost who was so close yet unable to move, and revealed a strange smile.

The next second, a shadowy tentacle suddenly shot out, its target neither the female ghost nor the ghost baby, but the operating table.

To be precise, it's the operating light above the operating table.

The shadow tentacles deftly seized the only source of light in the operating room.

Then twist it hard!

Snap!

The female ghost's vision was plunged into darkness.

But soon, she saw Qi Xie again.

The crimson light illuminated the entire operating room, making it look particularly eerie against the backdrop of blood-stained walls and floors.

The light came from the blood-red vertical eyes on countless tentacles extending from the ceiling, walls, and floor.

These tentacles, like venomous snakes lurking in wait, filled the entire space.

At this moment, all the vertical eyes on the tentacles were staring at her with a chilling, mad, cold, and thirsty gaze...

[The Gaze of the Shadow] At this moment, it displays all its power without reservation, so sinister and terrifying.

In the crimson light, the young man stood before her, holding a blood axe, looking down at her.

On the middle finger of the young man's right hand, a blood-red vertical eye embedded in a ring was restlessly turning, looking her up and down as if she were prey that had fallen into a trap.

"Are you kidding me?! A level two sealed artifact?"

The female ghost's forehead twitched violently. She glanced to the side with her compound eyes and saw that the ghost infant was also being attacked and entangled by countless shadow tentacles.

The ghost infant struggled frantically, its sharp claws tearing through the shadow tentacles.

But it was completely useless. The number of shadow tentacles was unbelievable, and new tentacles kept emerging from the shadows.

Anyone could see that Qi Xie's terrifying physique combined with these tentacles meant he could easily kill them.

The female ghost looked at Qi Xie, who was smiling, and the veins on her forehead throbbed wildly.

"You...you're a high-level cultivator?! How is that possible?!"

He possesses a B-rank skill and a level 2 sealed artifact!

This is quite high-level even among advanced practitioners!

This dungeon shouldn't have been upgraded to a higher danger level yet!

Why would a high-level cultivator enter?

Suddenly, as if remembering something, the female ghost opened her voice towards the door and was about to shout:

"Honey, run!"

"Don't make a sound."

Suddenly.

An inexplicable force lodged in the female ghost's throat, like a fishbone stuck in her throat, causing her voice to pause briefly.

The command was given, and the binding of the [human skin handkerchief] was achieved.

"Ugh..."

As a level four sealed artifact, the [Human Skin Handkerchief] has limited effect on female ghosts who are close to the danger level. Even if it achieves the binding effect, she can still barely speak.

But the shadowy tentacles that were slowly tightening around her neck made up for this, completely silencing her warning.

Tears welled in the female ghost's eyes as she trembled and looked ahead.

"Shh~"

The young man gracefully crouched down, his slightly bloodshot phoenix eyes narrowed, a smile playing on his lips. His left hand gripped the blood-red axe, resting it on his shoulder, while his right index finger was raised to his lips.

"Please keep quiet, madam."

The young man's voice was soft and gentlemanly, even somewhat seductive, which made the female ghost tremble even more violently.

"Don't worry, your husband will be reunited with you soon!"
