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

Jiang Luo bit the strawberry candy in her mouth.

Is this old man exaggerating?

Lolo's current strength is enough to make those old monsters in the Senate utterly crush him.

A mere broken vortex.

Are you suggesting we eat Lolo?

The system immediately emitted a piercing warning sound.

[Host, please stop your foolish underestimation of the enemy. While eerie energy is indeed a great tonic for ordinary eerie beings, the eerie energy in the Death Vortex is mixed with the endless resentment and killing intent of ancient eerie beings when they fell. That kind of pollution is simply not something an ordinary body can withstand.]

[Once corroded by that high concentration of resentment, even a peak SS-level monster would go berserk and rampage for a short time. What's more deadly is that the area is filled with extremely unstable spatial rifts. If one steps into one, they will be directly banished to the void dimension, torn to shreds by multiple dimensions, leaving not even a trace.]

Jiang Luo listened to the system's detailed explanation.

The little legs that were swaying back and forth stopped immediately, and the expression of watching a show disappeared from the fair little face.

It seems that the title of the top of the three forbidden areas in Burial Canyon is indeed well-deserved. It will really take some effort to get that item and opportunity.

The Blood Lord sat in his seat listening to the Grand Duke of Skeleton's warning, his face, covered in red scales, twisted into a liver color.

His original plan was to rely on the powerful physical recovery ability of his Berserker Blood Clan to force his way into the vortex of death and seize the lion's share.

He even planned to use force at today's meeting to compel the Grand Duke of Skeleton to cede more of his share.

But now, a white-haired loli with unfathomable strength has suddenly appeared out of nowhere, with Nyarlathotep standing next to her, ready to break his bones at any moment.

Even if the Blood Lord's mind was not clear, he knew that he had completely lost his voice in today's meeting.

He stood up abruptly, not daring to even glance at Jiang Luo, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the Grand Duke of Skeleton.

"Since that place is so dangerous, I won't waste my time here today. We'll see what happens in the Death Vortex in seven days. I'm taking my leave now!"

After saying this, the Bloodthirsty Lord fled as if he were being chased by a dog, slamming open the wooden door of the hall with heavy steps.

The other lords also lost interest and left one after another.

As Naya watched the Blood Lord's disheveled retreating figure, he placed one hand on his top hat and let out a mocking chuckle.

"What an impolite and vulgar beast! He can't even say goodbye. If Master finds him an eyesore, I can go and twist his head off right now and use it as a ball."

Upon hearing Nyarlathotep's words, the Skeleton King could no longer contain himself. He leaned back in his chair and let out a hoarse laugh that was extremely unpleasant to hear.

"That was satisfying, truly satisfying. I've lived in this Burial Canyon for over a hundred years, and this is the first time I've ever seen this brainless brute suffer such a huge setback."

The soul fire in the skeletal duke's eye sockets turned towards Jiang Luo, his tone now carrying a hint of heartfelt gratitude and a desire to win him over.

"Lord Jiang Luo has truly done me a great favor today. If it weren't for your intervention that intimidated that arrogant fellow, I would have had to expend a lot of effort to subdue him."

His withered finger bones tapped the table as he made a generous promise.

"Just for this reason, I will cover all your expenses in the manor. If you need anything, just tell the servants to do it."

Jiang Luo picked up a napkin and wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth, immediately putting on a well-behaved and harmless green tea expression.

"Your Excellency is too kind. Luo Luo is just an ignorant child. She only said a few words casually. She doesn't deserve such gratitude from you."

Standing behind Jiang Luo, Naya listened to her master's flawless pretense, her lips twitched, and she barely managed to suppress a laugh.

Grand Duke Skeleton waved for the other lords to leave, leaving only Jiang Luo and his group with Han Ya in the hall.

The Grand Duke crossed his hands and rested them on his chin, his eerie green soul flames fixed on Jiang Luo's delicate and adorable face, his tone suddenly becoming incredibly deep.

"Lord Jiang Luo, there's no need for you to be modest in front of me. You led such a group of top-tier combatants into Burial Canyon in such a grand manner; your target is definitely not just that SS-level strange artifact, is it?"

Jiang Luo paused for a moment, her ruby-like eyes narrowing slightly, revealing no emotion.

Grand Duke Skeleton ignored Jiang Luo's silence and continued to throw out his chips.

"Many lords like you who have reached the peak of SS-rank come to Burial Canyon to try their luck after hitting a bottleneck. I suppose you're here because of that strange legend about breaking through to SSS-rank abyss?"

Seeing that the other party had made their point clear, Jiang Luo decided to stop pretending.

She threw her napkin on the table and stared directly at the skull.

"Since you guessed it, then Lolo won't beat around the bush. You've been entrenched in this canyon for so many years, you must know some inside information, right?"

The Skeleton Duke let out two hoarse chuckles, his withered finger bones tapping lightly on the table.

"Lord Jiang Luo, there's no need to rush. My accumulation over the past hundred years in the Burial Canyon has not been in vain. The news about the opportunity to break through to SSS level is absolutely true."

He deliberately lowered his voice, building up the suspense to the extreme.

"However, the appearance of that opportunity requires extremely harsh conditions and extraordinary luck. When the Death Vortex opens in seven days and the time is right, I will naturally tell you everything I know, as if I were making you my friend."

Jiang Luo was incredibly curious.

But on the surface, she suppressed that impulse, knowing that this old fox who had lived for hundreds of years would never easily reveal all his cards.

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Your Highness. I've traveled such a long way today, and I'm so sleepy now. Can I go to sleep first?"

Jiang Luo decisively asked.

Anyway, the information we need has arrived.

Now all we have to do is wait for the Death Vortex to open.

"Of course, no problem, this way please."

The Skeleton Duke immediately instructed the steward to prepare the most prestigious guest room in the manor and personally escorted Jiang Luo and his party to the end of the corridor.

This is an extremely luxurious suite.

The floor was covered with a soft carpet, and high-grade magic crystals that exuded a calming aura hung on the wall.

Jiang Luo entered the room and ordered Yun Yi and Stella to stand guard outside the door. Naya and Jiang Xiaobai were also ruthlessly sent to the next room.

When she was the only one left in the room, Jiang Luo dropped her innocent and cute expression, and her eyes became indifferent.

And then he summoned Shadow.

"Lord Jiang... Lord Jiang, you wanted to see me?" Shadow stood in front of Jiang Luo, seemingly stammering.

Jiang Luo looked at the shadowy figure in front of him, which was almost as tall as herself.

He slightly pursed his lips.

The shadow didn't look very big, but I reckon it won't be long before it's taller than her.

It's true what they say, when people are more cunning than ghosts, ghosts are even more infuriating!

She mentally invoked the system.

"You said in the black market that activating the Abyss Fragment within this slave's body requires 30,000 Terror Points. Lolo has plenty of Terror Points on hand, activate it for Lolo immediately!"

[Ding, 30,000 points of terror have been successfully deducted. Activating the Abyss Fragment...]

Jiang Luo walked to the large velvet bed, sat down, and said coldly.

"Come this way."

The shadowy figure, who had been invisible, dragged his heavy steps to Jiang Luo, the rusty iron collar around his neck still seeping black blood.

Jiang Luo crossed her legs, which were clad in white stockings, and gently lifted the face of the shadowy figure with her toes. The shadowy figure's face was covered in dirt and scars, and her ruby-like eyes were filled with a dangerous abyss-like aura.

"You'd better keep quiet about what's about to happen, Luo Luo, do you hear me?"

"If you dare make a sound, Lolo will throw you out to feed the bone dragon!"

Shadow nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Jiang Luo reached out and pressed his hand on Dark Shadow's forehead, and the power of the abyss within him slowly flowed into Dark Shadow's body.

next second.

Shadow suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a strange darkness surged from them!

Intense pain surged through his limbs and bones, as if some demon was trying to force its way out of his body.

He instinctively opened his mouth, but remembering Jiang Luo's instructions, he bit his lower lip and could only make a weak "woo-woo" sound.

Outside.

Just as Han Ya was thinking of coming to visit Jiang Luo in the middle of the night, he reached the door.

Upon hearing the noise in the room, her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

"Just bear with it a little longer, it'll be over soon!" Jiang Luo's voice came from inside the door, accompanied by a faint whimper from An Ying.

The crow: "???"

Oh my god!

One person, one weirdo; did they really have such elaborate schemes behind the scenes?
