Chapter 218
This is a crystal clear river.

In the depths of the river, there are various colorful stones lying quietly.

A black stone was mixed in, sending out telepathy:

"Where does this river lead to?"

Lilith replied: "I don't know either, I'm not familiar with this area."

"...We've lost our way." Xiao Shizi said.

"Where were you going?"

"On the other side of the river, past the devil's city, keep heading north."

"It was indeed off course, but now we have rolled countless times in the river, crossed many tributaries, and neither dared to turn back nor find a new way."

"I have to go back."

"why?"

"Someone is waiting for me."

"You saved me. According to the Eternal Night Contract, I should try my best to repay you once. Then I will help you reach that place. What do you think?"

"of course can."

"Okay, let your card book come out and meet me, and I will give it a card."

"I don't have a card book."

"...What's going on here? You're clearly a card master, but you haven't been to any refuge, and you don't have a card book. How did you survive?" Lilith asked madly.

Liu Ping also sighed.

Five years later, I obviously got a large sum of money from the Flame Prison Bank to buy card books, but in the end, by accident, I went back to five years ago.

Well, that's fine.

I came five years ago, but I was captured by the empire ruled by 'The Fool' and became a captive soul. I have never formally contacted the world of Eternal Night, let alone any refuge.

"I just entered Yongye, and I just became a card master not long ago." Liu Ping explained.

"So that's it. We need to find a shelter first, find a way to get a map of the vicinity, and then we can find the corresponding path to meet your companions." Lilith said.

"...What kind of place is the refuge?"

"I can't tell, I have a way to go directly to the nearest shelter, or should we start now?"

"Don't go!" Liu Ping blurted out.

"Huh? If you don't go, you won't go. Why do you react so strongly?" Lilith was puzzled.

Of course, Liu Ping couldn't say that the place was being divided up by two monsters, he hesitated for a moment, and said:

"I suspect that the two monsters are still nearby, maybe they are also looking for shelter."

"Then change the place," Lilith said: "I still have a contact card in my hand, which can help us find a very far refuge—but if you do this, you may not be able to find your friends for the time being."

"This is the only way." Lilith added.

Liu Ping sighed.

If Hua Qingkong had left the border of the empire as she said, then she must have arrived near the snow mountain by now, waiting for herself and Libertas in fear.

Do you want to leave her alone in the ice and snow?
When I couldn't improve my level back then, they took out an extremely rare potion of soul power to help me improve my level.

In the tunnel, her spirit wouldn't let her save herself, so she just gave up on that spirit.

Such a girl—

Do you want to leave her alone?

"I decided to turn back." Liu Ping said.

"Liu Ping, your brain is obviously very good, are you crazy for making such a decision?" Lilith asked.

"My friend is waiting for me, I have to meet her." Liu Ping said.

Lilith let out a desperate lament, and asked, "What kind of person is he, it's worth saving like this."

"a friend."

"Male and female?"

"female."

"How big?"

"Well, about the same as me."

Liu Ping continued: "It's okay, you can stay here - if I can come back alive, you can find a way to repay me."

Lilith shook her head and said, "Stupid Liu Ping, we have signed the Eternal Night Contract. I must repay you with all my strength—since you are going to find a companion, then I have no choice but to follow you and help you with all my strength!"

"Then—" Liu Ping spread his hands.

"Let's go, let's go, there's really no way, anyway, you saved your life, so it's also right to help you save another person," Lilith said.

Liu Ping looked into the void.

I saw lines of small characters floating there:

"Notice."

"The Eternal Night Contract stipulates that she must help you once with all her strength, but it is not limited to this one time. In fact, she can choose any time to complete this matter."

——In other words, Lilith didn't have to help herself find Hua Qingkong.

She can wait for herself here.

But she still decided to go with her.

Gee.

When she controlled the big fish to transport the devil and the human race to attack the magic ants, she had magnanimously let Huoya jump on the back of the fish.

Seems to be a kind-hearted book spirit.

"Lilith, who is your mortal enemy?" Liu Ping asked.

"The Book Spirit of the Book of Soul Breaking," Lilith said.

"The Book of Splitting Soul?" Liu Ping asked.

"That's right, that book is the card book of the Queen of Killing Ants, and I had some grudges against me in the past." Lilith said.

At this time, a fish swam over, opened its mouth to hold the stone, and led it to swim the way it came.

"Why do these guys have card books? What's the use of card books?" Liu Ping asked with interest.

"The card book endows the deck with a strange mysterious power. For example, the woman you saw, the card book in her hand is called 'Vicious Fruit', which can turn all cards into fruits for that woman to eat Go down and absorb the power of the card." Lilith said.

"What about the 'Book of Splitting Soul'?" Liu Ping asked.

"Splitting the card into countless magic ants—tsk tsk, I get goosebumps just thinking about it," Lilith said.

"In this case, I need to find a card book." Liu Ping said.

Lilith didn't know what to think of, and said sadly: "For a rookie like you, just find an ordinary card book to use, otherwise the card book you use is too good, others will challenge you, and you can't beat it, so you can only use the card book lose to someone else."

The fish suddenly dived into the bottom of the water and hid around a group of small fish.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ping didn't know why.

"I seem to have sensed something...wait a minute," Lilith said.

After a few breaths.

Lilith said happily: "Tree hole! There is a hidden tree hole near here!"

"Tree hole?" Liu Ping asked puzzled.

"That's right, the tree hole is a place arranged by a great being, for those who walk outside to communicate with it and trade with it - after all, Eternal Night is really vast and boundless, after some people leave the refuge, it is not easy to go back Yes." Lilith said.

The fish speeded up and swam vigorously, and soon came to the shore, spitting out a black stone.

The stone rolled and fell into the jungle.

Bang!
A dog appears.

"Why did you let the dog come out again?" Lilith asked puzzled.

"That woman has a special feeling for existence above level 15. My pastoral dog is only level 3, and it's so far away, so it's relatively safe." Liu Ping said.

"So that's it, run to the left, there is a huge ancient tree, the dog got into it, and it has the power to block the breath." Lilith said.

Huo Ya nodded slightly, and ran quickly.

Soon.

It found the old tree and got into the tree hole.

A line of small burning characters quickly appeared:

"You have been blessed by the technique of breath isolation, which is a mysterious technique."

--Safety!
Flame Fang disappeared instantly.

Liu Ping and Lilith then appeared.

Lilith jumped lightly, jumped onto the tree wall and said:

"Put your hand on the tree wall, it will draw a little of your soul power as a reward, and then you can start trading."

"it is good."

Liu Ping pressed his hand on the tree wall.

Soon, he felt that the strength in his body was absorbed by something.

A line of burning small characters emerged:

"You found the tree hole."

"You are a polymath, after leaving the 'Fool' sequence, the ability of this title can be displayed normally."

"From now on, everything you discover will bring you more experience points."

"—The power of a polymath comes from exploration and knowledge."

"Notice:"

"You were absorbed by the tree hole."

"The tree hole is about to be activated."

Light and shadow flickered all around.

Liu Ping suddenly found that the tree hole was gone, and he was standing in front of an ancient giant tree.

"Traveler, what do you want?"

The giant tree hummed.

Liu Ping thought for a while and said, "I need a map - the more detailed the terrain around the country of 'Fool 3-6912 Sequence', the better."

"So, what do you pay for?" asked the giant tree.

"gold?"

"Maps are precious, gold is not enough, something else is needed."

"Do you accept the gems?"

"Gems contain mystical powers, yes."

Liu Ping took out some gems and spread them out in his palm.

The last time he went to the Kingdom of Ceylon, he collected some gems in York City, and later returned to the Sequence Empire, and cheated back [-]% of the treasures from the Ten Thousand Eyes Demon King on the snow mountain, which contained a lot of gems.

——That was the reward paid by the prisoners to the Thousand-Eyed Demon King, which was quite rich.

"You don't need so much, just give me fifteen gems." Gu Shu said.

Fifteen of the gemstones in Liu Ping's hand disappeared immediately.

A leaf quietly fell on his hand, and suddenly turned into a burst of green light, seeping into his hand.

all of a sudden.

A detailed map appeared in Liu Ping's mind.

He immediately knew where he was, and even knew what dangers and how to go in the nearby areas.

"Thank you very much." Liu Ping smiled.

"Then, what else do you need? I think the book spirit around you has no place to live yet. Would you like to give her a blank card book that belongs to her?" Gu Shu asked.

Liu Ping was startled, and looked at Lilith on his shoulder.

Lilith blushed, and shook her head again and again, "No need, I've been wandering all the time, and I'm used to it, Liu Ping, don't spend money."

"Give her a blank card book, it's better, thank you." Liu Ping said.

"A generous card master—of course, who would treat his book spirit badly?" Gu Shu let out a gentle laugh.

A heavy book exuding a woody fragrance quietly emerged.

A voice suddenly appeared in Liu Ping's heart:
"Without a card book that can support her body, the book spirit will gradually lose its strength and become extremely weak, and will eventually be eaten by monsters. She needs a book, but she is embarrassed to say that."

This is the voice of the old tree.

Liu Ping quietly looked at this huge ancient tree.

——The name of the ancient tree has already appeared in front of him:
"The guardian of all living beings, the spirit of the ancient tree of eternal night."
