Are you kidding me?! The boss of the Hell Dungeon is a loli!

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Juechen's figure completely transformed into a wisp of black mist and disappeared back into Jiang Luo's shadow.

The oppressive feeling in front of the castle gates finally dissipated completely.

Naya gasped for breath and struggled to her feet, leaning on her bone cane.

Looking at the empty space in front of him, Jiang Luo suddenly had a very ominous thought.

She frantically called upon the system in her mind.

"Hey, hey, hey, explain yourself clearly! Which level underground is this so-called Trial Grounds located on?!"

The system's familiar mechanical electronic voice echoed in my mind.

[Ding, the system has detected that the host has actively inquired about information regarding the Trial Grounds.]

This system provides a full suite of navigation and trial activation services.

Jiang Luo's eyelids twitched wildly, and a premonition of being slaughtered like a fat sheep arose spontaneously.

"You piece of junk, are you going to deduct Lolo's fear points again?!"

The system let out a soft, almost human-like laugh.

Of course, there's a charge; after all, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

[The Trial Grounds are the ultimate hidden area of ​​Red Moon Castle, requiring 300,000 Terror Points to unlock.]

When Jiang Luo heard this number, she felt as if her heart had been squeezed hard.

"Three hundred thousand!"

She jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Why don't you just rob someone? Lolo worked himself to the bone in the exam dungeon and only earned less than 70,000!"

Jiang Luo pointed at the air and started cursing.

"Why don't you just sell Lolo for money!"

The system slowly and deliberately offered a deadly temptation.

You wouldn't want those old monsters from the Senate to come knocking on your door and have you captured and skinned alive, would you?

Once you break through to SSS rank, the entire real world will become your backyard.

[At that point, let alone 300,000, even 3 million fear points will be within easy reach.]

Jiang Luo gritted her teeth, her cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish.

She knew that the unscrupulous system was right; now was not the time to worry about money.

"You win."

Jiang Luo squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.

"Can we pay you back? Lolo doesn't have 300,000 in her account right now!"

[Given the host's current life-or-death crisis, this system has granted special approval for installment payment services.]

[A down payment of 100,000 is required; the remaining amount will be automatically deducted from subsequent earnings, plus 10% interest.]

Jiang Luo was so angry that she spun around in circles.

(╬◣д◢)

"How could you be such a heartless system?!"

She felt that the terror points she had just earned in the real-world instance were about to sprout wings and fly away before she could even warm them up.

Jiang Luo covered her face, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"Open the door for Lolo right now! Once Lolo becomes a god, the first thing I'll do is dismantle you and sell you for scrap metal!"

[After deducting 100,000 fear points, the Trial Grounds passage has been unlocked.]

As the system notification sounded, a dull groan of mechanical gears meshing echoed from the depths of the throne room.

Jiang Luo felt a pang of heartache and gasped for breath. She turned and walked towards the interior of the castle.

"Nyarlathotep, take Big Bear and Shadow and guard the castle gate for Lolo."

Jiang Luo gave the order without turning his head.

"Anyone who dares to approach even half a step within the red light's range will be chopped to pieces and fed to the dogs!"

Naya bowed respectfully.

"Yes, my great master."

Jiang Luo ran wildly down a newly appeared dark red spiral staircase behind the throne.

Oil lamps with green flames burned on the walls on both sides of the staircase.

The deeper you go, the more ancient and violent the abyssal aura permeating the air becomes.

Jiang Luo felt the blood in his body boiling under the pull of this aura.

She walked down for a full half hour before finally arriving at a huge obsidian door.

The gate was carved with countless twisted eyes and tentacles, and reeked of a nauseating stench of blood.

Jiang Luo stood before the obsidian door that reeked of blood.

She had just raised her delicate, fair hand to push the door open.

A slight tugging sensation came from the edge of the skirt.

A dark shadow writhed under the dim red light.

Jiang Xiaobai's fluffy head emerged from the shadows.

He looked up at his delicate, porcelain-doll-like face.

He held onto the lace trim on Jiang Luo's dress with both hands.

"Big sister, can Xiaobai go too?"

His boyish voice was full of longing, and he even made a swallowing sound.

Jiang Luo looked down at the glutton, her black leather shoes making a crisp sound on the bronze stone slab.

"Why aren't you up there watching over Naya's house? What are you doing here on the 30th underground floor causing all this trouble?"

She put her hands on her hips, and two white tufts of hair on her head swayed slightly.

"Inside is a trial ground that can kill people; even Lolo herself doesn't know the rules."

The system's electronic voice, like a money-grubbing machine, immediately rang in my mind.

[Host, letting this kid come in with you is definitely a profitable deal.]

Jiang Luo rolled her eyes and cursed the metal shell in her mind.

"Stop trying to fool Lolo. Bringing in another weirdo just to collect more admission fees, aren't you?"

[In all honesty, this system will absolutely not charge any extra fees this time.]

Jiang Xiaobai is your companion ghost servant, whose core power shares the same origin as your abyssal essence.

[This kid swallowed all of Shen Wandi's energy, that pyramid scheme leader, in one gulp at the church, and he hasn't finished digesting the contents of his stomach yet.]

[As long as he enters the Trial Grounds and is forced by the pressure of its rules, his cultivation level can approach the SSS-level threshold infinitely.]

This is a top-tier tank and damage dealer delivered right to your door for free, why not take advantage of it!

Jiang Luo's ruby-like eyes lit up instantly when he heard the words "free" and "top-tier fighters".

(✪ω✪)

"At least you, this heartless system, said something sensible."

She reached out her fair little hand and vigorously ruffled Jiang Xiaobai's messy silver hair.

"Xiaobai, once we get inside the gate, you must behave completely."

Jiang Luo straightened her face, revealing two sharp, white shark teeth.

"If you dare to eat anything behind Lolo's back and cause trouble, Lolo will strip you naked and hang you on the castle gate as cured meat!"

Jiang Xiaobai shuddered in fright.

He nodded repeatedly like a child who had done something wrong.

"Don't worry, elder sister."

Jiang Xiaobai patted his chest and guaranteed.

"Little White will definitely be a good boy and listen!"

Jiang Luo gave a satisfied hum.

She turned around.

Two delicate white hands pressed against the obsidian door that reeked of blood.

The heavy scraping sound echoed in the enclosed underground space.

The door was pushed open a crack.

A blinding white light instantly engulfed the two of them.

A strong feeling of weightlessness, accompanied by dizziness, rushed straight to my head.

Jiang Luo felt as if her internal organs were churning.

When she opened her eyes again.

The first thing you smelled was a strong, almost tangible, burnt odor.

The sky was a dark, deathly gray.

Boiling magma flowed across the cracked earth.

Countless incomplete and bizarre corpses tumbled in the lava.

A piercing scream pierced the ears from all directions.

This is not a training ground at all.

This is a true hell on earth.

Jiang Xiaobai clung tightly to Jiang Luo's skirt.

"Big sister."

Jiang Xiaobai covered his nose.

"The food here smells terrible."

Jiang Luo gripped the Blood Moon Scythe he had just conjured.

A flicker of excitement flashed in her ruby-like eyes.

"It does smell a bit."

Jiang Luo licked her lips.

"But these are all key factors that will allow Lolo to break through to SSS level."
