How can you become stronger if you don't build up bonds?

"What did you just throw at me?"

Tina kept patting the fabric of her clothes, but she couldn't shake off the stench of blood.

She then discovered that this crazy woman was actually a magician.

The madwoman was manipulating a small, open bottle that floated in the air. Inside the bottle were some dark, indistinct things, the contents of which were unclear.

But the stench emanating from me comes from these substances.

Because there's only half left in the bottle.

"Just you wait, from now on no one can save you!"

"What do you mean? This stench can't be washed away?!"

Tina suppressed her raging anger; she needed to find out the truth before taking action.

"Wash?" The madwoman seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, then she spoke again viciously:

"What will you use to wash it? Not only you, but you'll also turn everyone around you into the same thing, you'll all rot and stink together, eventually becoming a decaying corpse covered in maggots—"

Tina's face had turned blue with anger.

She is a very clean person by nature.

Whether it was her experience at the Duke's mansion or her sharing a bed with Luya yesterday, Tina's vision and standards for hygiene management have reached a new level.

Tina could pretend not to hear the crazy woman's nonsensical delusions, but she absolutely could not tolerate the fact that she was being made to "stink" continuously with some unknown filth!

The thought of Laila possibly pinching her nose and frowning, or Lin Wei possibly making a harsh laugh at the matter, made Tina feel like the sky was about to fall.

"I don't care anymore—"

Tina rushed forward and kicked the madwoman in the stomach with all her might.

"When targeting a woman, you must target two areas—her face and lower abdomen. Damaging these two areas can render more than half of her life's value useless."

Tina suddenly remembered one of her master's teachings.

The crazy woman was kicked away by her.

"What a strange feeling..."

Tina wiggled her feet, feeling like something was off.

……

"Shuliya, do you want to rest for a bit? We'd better get her up here in one go, without giving her any chance to struggle."

Lin Wei kept observing Shuliya's status panel; her remaining mana was less than a third.

"Shuliya, you don't need to rest. Before the orchid spiders discover you, you can go a little deeper."

"Good thing, we haven't found the orchid spider yet."

Shuliya's burrowing vines were less than 10 meters away from the orchid spider's body.

"It seems Tina is still putting in a lot of effort."

……

"How did you manage to kick me?!"

The madwoman stared incredulously at Tina, who was walking towards her step by step.

—People tainted by the bloodsand of misfortune should not be able to control their own bodies at all!

—This is an accurate conclusion I reached after multiple rounds of testing and killing hundreds of live test subjects!

Why is this happening?! Are the Wallis people structurally different from people in other countries?

"Hand over that bottle!"

Tina grabbed the madwoman's hair and lifted her off the ground.

Wait, why is my strength decreasing?

I can usually lift someone without any trouble, but now I'm finding it a bit strenuous!

Tina suddenly discovered a new problem.

"You used a weakening spell on me?"

"You finally feel like you've gotten weaker? Hehehe, the real show is yet to come!"

I was wondering what was so special about you Wallis people, turns out it's just that your symptoms take a little longer to appear.

Anyway, I'm not going to keep this body. You Alberta family can just be my latest experimental subjects!

Especially you, I want to slice you into pieces and grind you carefully…”

"Snap—"

Tina interrupted the madwoman with a loud, crisp slap.

"It really was you!"

"You dare slap me?!"

The damage inflicted on the puppet will only be slightly felt by the puppeteer.

But slapping someone is still too insulting.

"I'm going to extract all the nerve tissue from your body, trapping you in an inescapable hell of pain forever!"

"Snap—"

Tina slapped her again.

.........

"Your Highness, Shulia, it's time to make your move."

Shulia's vines eventually penetrated 5 meters into the ground beneath the orchid spider.

Unaware of what was happening on the other side, Lan Zhu was completely absorbed in her interaction with Tina.

Okay, keep it up.

Shuliya not only had to drag Lanzhu up from over a hundred meters underground, but she also had to make sure she couldn't resist the whole time.

Lin Wei felt this was difficult.

But since things had come to this point, Lin Wei had no choice but to trust Shuliya.

Meanwhile, in the underground passageway.

"No, she wasn't affected by the Blood Sand of Misfortune at all..."

Lan Zhu had long since severed the tactile connection with the puppet, but she could still sense the problem through sight alone.

Not susceptible to mental magic, unaffected by misfortune, and possessing either a special physique or external protection, such a body-forged individual is terrifying to her lineage of mages.

"It's all that stubborn Quiron's fault for not letting me study the Voris people's physique!"

Lan Zhu's beautiful face was contorted with malice.

She took out a communication crystal and was just about to send a message when strange noises suddenly came from the walls of the surrounding passageway.

Quilon is back? Is he trying to modify the maze again without my permission?

Lan Zhu put down the communication crystal, her annoyance growing even stronger.

But the next second, a new green color suddenly appeared in front of the blue spider's eyes.

Four vines of varying thickness burst out from the tunnel wall and attacked her at an incredible speed.

Enemy attack!

She only had time to squeeze the communication crystal before the vines completely seized her.

The thickest vine burrowed directly into her throat, completely sealing off any possibility of her singing.

The thinnest vine wrapped around her neck, and the orchid spider's brain quickly entered a state of oxygen deprivation, its thoughts becoming blurred.

The remaining two stripped her of all her belongings in an extremely brutal manner, and then bound her tightly into the shape of a rice dumpling.

"My clothes... Kui... Long... save me..."

The spider only lasted seven or eight seconds before it completely lost consciousness.

Ten minutes later, Lin Wei personally pulled the orchid spider out of the pit in front of him.

Shulia's mana was completely depleted.

She leaned against Luya, looking slightly tired, but her eyes were full of the exhilaration of successfully completing the mission.

Shuliya is very competitive.

That's ruthless...

Lin Wei never expected that Lan Zhu would be brought up in this manner.

The vines completely filled her mouth and throat, leaving saliva and unidentified gastric juices everywhere.

Needless to say, Lillian had already run up to Lin Wei and started jumping around to block his view.

"Ahem... I'll go call Tina back."

According to Shuliya, the blue spider was unable to send any distress signals.

This bought Lin Wei time to lure and capture Lan Zhu's accomplices.

Aray and Zoreni are rushing this way at full speed.

With these two "Holy Judgment Warriors" around, Lin Wei was confident he could intercept and kill his accomplice, even if he was level 50.

You like infiltration? Then leave your life behind!
