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

The chilling sound of chewing echoed through the purgatory, as the hard dragon bones snapped one after another between the sharp teeth.

Jiang Xiaobai's belly quickly swelled into a round ball.

He patted his belly contentedly and let out a burp that smelled of sulfur.

"tasty!"

"This is much tastier than that previous pyramid scheme leader!"

After the dragon completely disappeared, the lava lake in front of them began to churn.

The fiery red lava parted to both sides, and a massive ruin buried for many years rose from the ground.

Black ash continued to fall onto the surface of the ruins, revealing an ancient bronze gate covered with dark red rust.

Jiang Luo dragged the Blood Moon Scythe closer, his gaze quickly landing on the gate.

The field of vision was filled with swarms of skeleton guards, so many that the end could not be seen.

Each skeleton had a ghostly blue soul flame flickering in its eye sockets, and held a rusty bone knife and spear in its hands. The aura emanating from them all reached S-rank.

Jiang Luo's eyes immediately lit up like two rubies.

"These are all bizarre creatures from the abyss!"

She excitedly rubbed her fair hands together, and the two tufts of hair on her head swayed from side to side.

"No wonder that broken metal shell said that this is where Lolo's chance to break through to SSS level is hidden."

"With so many S-grade cores, if Luo Luo swallows them all, the power inside will be enough to make him grow several times stronger!"

Jiang Luo weighed the Blood Moon Scythe in his hand, his gaze sweeping past the army of skeletons and into the depths of the ruins.

"The guys guarding the gate outside are all S-rank."

"The treasure hidden inside must be even more valuable!"

The skeleton guard smelled an unfamiliar scent.

The skulls rotated in unison, the crackling sounds of bones rubbing together creating a continuous chorus, and at the same moment, the ghostly blue soul fire aimed at Jiang Luo and Jiang Xiaobai.

The next moment, the skeleton army raised their weapons and pounced on the two.

Jiang Luo raised the Blood Moon Scythe and charged head-on into the horde of skeletons.

"Xiao Bai, time to get to work!"

"Whoever grabs it keeps it!"

Jiang Xiaobai cheered as he opened the gaping maw of the abyss.

The two stormed into the army of skeletons, immediately embarking on an unrestrained buffet.

Each swing of the Blood Moon Scythe unleashed a trail of crimson light, slicing hordes of skeletons in half, their mangled bones scattered across the ground.

One by one, the azure abyss cores rolled out from the shattered bones.

While Jiang Luo was harvesting, she didn't forget to bend down and pick up the money. Her fair little hands grabbed the core and stuffed it into her pocket.

"We've struck it rich!"

"This is all just small change!"

Jiang Xiaobai is not picky about food.

The gaping maw of the abyss swept across the ground, and a large number of skeletons in front of it vanished instantly, leaving not even a trace of scattered bone fragments.

Despite the large number of skeletons, not a single one could harm them.

In a short while, only cracks remained in front of the gate.

The last skeleton was cleaved in two by the Blood Moon Scythe, and the Azure Core had just fallen off when Jiang Luo swiftly grabbed it into his palm.

Jiang Xiaobai missed his target and could only watch her helplessly.

Jiang Luo quickly stuffed the core into a hidden pocket in her skirt and turned her face away nonchalantly.

"What are you looking at?"

"Luo Luo found this by her own skill."

Jiang Xiaobai rubbed her stomach in grievance, not daring to utter a word of rebuttal.

Jiang Luo brushed the ashes off her skirt, stepped over the scattered bones, and entered the gate of the ruins.

Beneath the towering dome stands a jet-black statue.

The statue depicts a man dressed in an ancient black robe, holding a broken scepter, his lowered eyes looking down at the entire ruins.

Jiang Luo stood at the foot of the statue, looking up at the familiar face, his two white tufts of hair turning around in confusion.

"Why does this statue look so familiar?"

She walked around the statue once, her small black leather shoes landing on the ground, the crisp sound of her footsteps echoing into the depths of the ruins.

After circling around once, Jiang Luo finally raised her little hand and pointed to the statue's face.

"Isn't this exactly what that broken metal shell looked like when it first appeared!"

She put her hands on her hips, about to continue her taunts, but the oppressive aura emanating from inside the statue made her chest sink.

That power far surpassed that of the gray-clad man from before.

Just standing in front of the statue, Jiang Luo's breathing became labored, and the abyssal source within his body began to stir.

The system's familiar electronic voice echoed in her mind.

Are you praising me or insulting me?

Jiang Luo rolled her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"You also want to tell Lolo that this broken statue is a portrait of you?"

The system fell silent and did not provide any further response.

Jiang Luo chuckled and kicked the base of the statue with her little leather shoe.

"Stop pretending to be so profound."

"The first thing I'll do when Lolo breaks through to SSS rank is to drag you out of my head and beat you up!"

Whatever you like~

Too lazy to bother with this broken metal shell that was pretending to be dead, she followed the abyssal aura emanating from the air and led Jiang Xiaobai deeper into the ruins.

The bronze corridor was long and dark, with twisted murals painted on both sides of the walls.

The figures in the mural were tearing at each other, and large patches of faded bloodstains covered the wall. The closer you got to the inside, the lower the temperature became.

Jiang Luo arrived at a half-open door.

A biting chill seeped out from under the door, and a thin layer of frost had formed on the ground.

She raised the Blood Moon Scythe and used the hilt to push open the door.

In the center of the room, a white-haired woman was bound by thick black chains, her entire body sealed inside a translucent crystal.

The woman's face was obscured by her long hair.

Even through the thick crystal, the aura emanating from her still made Jiang Luo feel a tightness in his chest.

As soon as Jiang Luo stepped into the room, the bronze stone slab beneath his feet lit up with intricate dark red patterns.

The abyssal essence within her body, drawn by the array patterns, began to surge on its own, completely breaking free from her control.

Jiang Luo pressed her hand to her chest and took two steps back.

The frost on the surface of the giant crystal quickly receded, and the black chains binding the woman broke one after another.

A terrifying force erupted from the woman's body, causing the entire room to shake.

Jiang Luo's red eyes widened, and her two small, sharp teeth clenched together, making a grinding sound.

Another SSS-rank!

Just as she was about to raise the Blood Moon Scythe, a blinding white light filled the entire room.

Jiang Luo's consciousness was forcibly dragged away, and the dizziness churning her stomach almost made her vomit up the lollipop she had just eaten.

When she opened her eyes again, she was lying on a soft velvet bed.

Jiang Luo sat up, rubbing his throbbing head, gripping the Blood Moon Scythe tightly in his other hand, and warily scanned his surroundings.

Black gothic curtains hung beside the bed.

A dark red carpet covered the floor, and oil lamps with burning green flames hung on the walls.

This is also a huge ancient castle.

Both the decoration and the layout are highly similar to those of Red Moon Castle.

Jiang Luo jumped off the bed, her shiny black leather shoes stepping onto the soft carpet.

"noob?"

No one responded.

The room was empty; Jiang Xiaobai did not come in with her.

Jiang Luo called upon the system in his mind again.

"Broken iron shell."

"What kind of hell is this place?"

The usually noisy system was completely silent and disconnected.

Jiang Luo bit her lower lip, hoisted the Blood Moon Scythe onto her shoulder, and walked toward the heavy mahogany door of the room.

Her fair, delicate hand grasped the cool brass handle and gently pressed down.

The door opened.

The corridor outside was so quiet it was almost stifling; not even the wind stirred the candlelight against the wall.

Jiang Luo peeked half her face out from behind the door.

The layout of the corridor is exactly the same as that of the third floor of Red Moon Castle, and even the position of the oil paintings is exactly the same.

But there were no landscapes in those oil paintings.

The canvas was filled with bizarre corpses that had been disemboweled.

Jiang Luo licked the corner of her lips, her ruby-like eyes narrowing slightly.

"That's interesting."

"How dare you play illusions in front of Luo Luo?"

She carried her sickle out of the room, swaggering confidently, showing no intention of hiding.

"No matter what you are."

"Since you dared to bring Lolo here, Lolo will eventually crack open your skull and use it as a chamber pot!"
