What imperial henchmen? Please call me Your Majesty!

A red light suddenly burst forth from the originally pitch-black sky, turning it a dark red.

At the same time, a large amount of red light appeared on the ground, the ground cracked, and red light burst out from inside, the light was dazzling.

Lei Yan was completely terrified:

"Seriously? We just finished dealing with this and now you're back?"

"No, we dealt with the small fry before, now it's the real deal."

Since these black groups alone cannot diminish the luster of Daoxiang Village, it can only mean that there is something underground. But what we just dealt with came out from underground, and the manipulator is underground.

This has clearly angered the manipulator.

shhhhhh...

At this moment, the black energy materialized, transforming into a red vortex. It still had six paths, but even before the object appeared, it already exuded a powerful pressure.

Lei Yan's legs were trembling:

"Seriously? Is this even a mission we should be taking? Are we all going to die tonight?"

"No!"

Su Mu stepped forward. Since the red thread could absorb this energy, then let's continue. Since the power is acting on the talisman, then let's strengthen it!

Seeing the six red vortexes, he released three lines with one hand and the other hand, sending them flying into the vortexes respectively.

Streams of pure energy began to return along the red line.

Lei Yan was greatly surprised:

"No! Your body might not be able to withstand this and you could explode and die!"

"That's not necessarily true."

A cold smile flashed across Su Mu's lips. As the energy flowed into his body again, his blood boiled once more.

However, he continued to activate his inner energy, focusing his power on his dantian.

Previously, the energy was dispersed and sparse, making it impossible to accurately know why storing the energy in the dantian would have an effect on the source of the talisman.

This time, I could clearly feel the energy accumulating and entering my dantian. After the blood was transported and sank into my dantian, another source of the talisman began to exert its power within it, and the source absorbed it.

Moreover, the absorption rate is even faster than the inflow rate.

Oh shit!

I refuse to believe I can't reach the second level of martial arts tonight!

He began to forcefully activate the Xuan Stone Iron Token, causing the red thread to glow even brighter as a large amount of energy was injected.

Lei Yan slowly retreated, realizing that this was a reckless act, and that his body could explode at any moment if he couldn't withstand it.

Getting close to him wouldn't help, so I could only temporarily distance myself and observe the situation.

The energy sank into the dantian layer by layer, and was absorbed by the talisman. This time, the accumulation speed was even faster than the absorption speed of the talisman.

This caused Su Mu's skin to turn bright red again, and the stinging and burning pain made him scream.

A moment later...

The dark red sky darkened, returning to its usual appearance. At the same time, the red light emanating from the ground of Daoxiang Village gradually weakened, and the red rays of light became smaller.

The light faded, the red line retracted, and only Su Mu, still emitting a red glow, remained in the same spot.

Lei Yan didn't dare to get any closer. All he could see was that the man's entire body was red, and he stood there motionless.

Inside his body, an illusory mask floated in his sea of ​​consciousness, searching for something, until it saw a fleeting afterimage.

"Holy Lord? I didn't expect you to have taken over this body. No wonder it felt familiar."

A small dragon, its form highly illusory, slowly turned its head, looked at the other party, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Tara! Are you crazy to come here? Get out of here right now!"

"Hahaha, Holy Lord, look at you now, you look like a worm. From now on, I will take control of this body."

"madness!"

The mask ignored them and turned away.

"This guy's crazy, daring to stay here like this."

Just as the mask found Su Mu's sea of ​​consciousness and was about to seize his body, a stream of water, like a clear spring, flowed slowly toward it.

Tara looked at it, sensed it for a moment, and found that it had no offensive power, so she stopped paying attention to it.

The water came to my side and enveloped me.

At first, nothing was wrong, but then moving became increasingly difficult, and even activating magic had no effect whatsoever.

"What happened?"

"Idiot! Just wait to die. Of all people to possess, why did you have to possess him?"

The Holy Lord didn't care anymore; it was just a remnant soul in the blood, and had no real effect.

"No……"

At the same time, outside the body, Su Mu suddenly opened his eyes:

"ah!!"

A sharp, somewhat hoarse scream echoed through the night, making even the ever-vigilant Lei Yan dare not approach.

Su Mu suddenly knelt down, supporting himself with his hands on the ground. His dantian began to throb, and the source of the talisman began to operate, as if another kind of energy that did not belong to these had appeared.

It's swirling inside my body.

After a fierce struggle, he could only sink into a corner of his dantian under the influence of the mental technique, with the totem imprinted on the left side of his waist.

When it was all over, he felt completely exhausted and lay on the ground, utterly powerless.

Seeing this, Lei Yan hurriedly ran forward and helped him up:

"Bro! How are you? You absolutely can't be in any trouble!"

Su Mu looked at him, her lips twitching slightly:

"Water...give me water..."

"You need water, right? Okay, hold on, I'll go get you some water right now."

However, it was pitch black all around, and the water source could not be seen at all. But at this time, a little moonlight shone through, and the faint light reflected off the water surface could be barely seen.

Seeing this, he carried Su Mu on his back and ran towards a water source.

However, his night vision was poor, and he ran quite slowly, so he didn't know if there were any large potholes ahead.

Su Mu was still confused, but he still said:

"Idiot, can't you find a well?"

Lei Yan, who was still worried, immediately stopped.

Yes.

Since it was already dark and we couldn't see the surroundings, the well water must be nearby.

So they immediately took a roundabout approach.

Su Mu looked around in confusion, but he was also pointing the way. After a while, they finally found the well.

Lei Yan put him down, threw the bucket of water in, and the splashing sound delighted him.

"Great, there's water! There's water!"

He quickly grabbed the rope and lifted it up. After lifting the bucket, he looked at Su Mu, somewhat at a loss.

Su Mu had no choice but to get up and, relying entirely on his willpower, first cupped his hands in water and drank a couple of mouthfuls, then picked up the bucket and drank it down in large gulps.

The coolness extinguished the heat in my body and gradually nourished my limbs and bones.

The situation just now left him severely dehydrated; if he hadn't been trained, he probably would have died.

Burning blood consumes too much fat.

After drinking a large bucket, he collapsed weakly on the ground, panting heavily.

"How is it? Do you still want it?"

Lei Yan also showed some concern.

"Let me catch my breath, this is too surreal."

With eyes closed, I took deep breaths.

Seeing this, Lei Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, nothing was wrong, otherwise it would have been terrible.

The power of the talisman was enhanced, and at the same time, the will was also strengthened, and a sense of inner vision was added.

It seems that we have truly reached the second realm.

He also discovered a totem on the left side of his dantian, which seemed to be a demon pattern, and it looked somewhat familiar.

Gradually, he recalled something from his hazy memories: a mask?

I opened my eyes again and looked at the sky.

What kind of world have we come to?

After resting for a while, he stood up, looked at Lei Yan, and smiled.

"Thank goodness you're here, otherwise I would probably be dead here if I came alone."

Lei Yan was quite happy to see Su Mu recover.

"If you weren't here, I would most likely be buried here forever. This ghost is too scary."

Su Mu smiled. Was this a ghost or his own good fortune?

It seems that everything changed after the discovery of the talisman.

As dawn broke, the two stayed there for two hours until it was fully light before getting up to observe their surroundings.

The ripples of last night's battle are still visible; several craters can be seen, and a large patch of black soil has appeared in the field, as if it had been scorched.

Lei Yan looked over and asked in confusion:

"Could this be the culprit? How did you absorb this energy? Don't tell me you've been parasitized!"

"What are you thinking about?"

Su Mu looked at it, thought about it for a while, and could only leap a few steps into the air. He took a look at it in mid-air, confirmed that it was a mask pattern, and then landed again.

Lei Yan ran to his side:

"Hey, aren't you only at the second realm? How come you seem like you could fight someone at the fourth realm?"

Su Mu smiled and shook his head:

"Alright, it's time to go back and report."

"Is this resolved?"

Su Mu pointed to the frogs jumping in the field:

"These little guys are more perceptive than we are. They wouldn't be here if the problem hadn't been solved."

Lei Yan looked at it and understood a lot, then nodded:

"That's true, everyone's happy."
