Chapter 409 The Mystic

Liu Ping was sitting on a chair in front of the bar counter, holding a transparent crystal cup in his hand.

The amber liquid in the cup emits mottled and flickering shadows under the dim sunlight outside the window.

The baby girl just took a bath, put on talcum powder, and smiled contentedly after feeding once, resting on his lap with peace of mind.

Liu Ping took a sip from the wine glass, nodded and said, "The wine is not bad."

The bartender who had already been waiting with bated breath smiled: "This is the best human wine we can find, Brother Liu, as long as you like it."

Liu Ping smacked his lips and said: "700 years of aging, the best spiritual fruit wine on the practice side, 320 ingredients, you are interested."

when.

A gold coin landed on the bar, jumped twice, was held down by the bartender with both hands, and carefully took it back.

The two beautiful girls walked up to Liu Ping with their baskets in hand, bowed down, and shouted sweetly:
"Brother Liu, look."

Liu Ping looked into the basket and saw strips of soft diapers inside.

"It's no wonder that you have learned needlework—yes, these should be enough, let's drink tea, my treat."

Liu Ping casually grabbed a handful of gems and stuffed them into the hands of the two beautiful girls.

The two girls giggled and said, "Thank you Brother Liu."

At this moment the door of the bar opened.

A thin man walked in.

Everyone stared at him.

Liu Ping gestured to the two women, and waited for them to retreat before looking at the man, and said, "You're finally here."

"I can't not come." The man said.

He has an untidy beard, looks tired, and looks a bit shabby and down-and-out.

Above his head, a line of small characters floated motionless:
"Nightmare blocker, fifth person."

This is the last blocker.

But he did not complete his task, because Liu Ping had already obtained milk powder and diapers.

If there was any hope for him—

Liu Ping recalled it carefully, and said, "Yes, the wishes I made for the Nightmare Box were milk powder, diapers and feeding bottles."

There is milk powder.

The diapers were replaced with better diapers.

— There are still milk bottles left.

The man walked to the bar step by step, seven or eight places away from Liu Ping, and put a baby bottle on the bar.

This is a colorful feeding bottle. As soon as it is taken out, a faint rainbow light appears around the bottle.

"It is polished with fifteen kinds of transparent ores, and has triple functions of heat preservation, cooling, and automatic cleaning. It is the strongest milk bottle that I can make within the scope of my ability."

said the man.

"What do you want?" Liu Ping asked.

The man pushed the bottle.

The milk bottle slid directly in front of Liu Ping along the long bar.

"I want you to let me live." The man said.

Liu Ping picked up the bottle and looked at it, and then read the description of the item that appeared in the void, and said with satisfaction: "Your bottle is made with great care, forget it, you can go."

The man sat still.

"Anything else?" Liu Ping asked.

"Actually, the battle rules are like this: if we win, we can obtain the status of living people, but if we fail, we will turn into heads again and become the source of nutrients for the nightmare dungeon." The man said.

"That is to say, you can't leave?" Liu Ping asked.

"Yes, the only way to get out is to be taken as a slave by you when you win this battle - Nightmare Dungeon recognizes this method." The man said.

Liu Ping looked at the other party and said, "I won't accept my subordinates easily."

The man said anxiously: "I know some secrets. If you are willing to accept me as your subordinate and help me escape the torture of the underground palace, I am willing to tell you everything I know."

Liu Ping fell into deep thought.

The man said: "Actually, what I'm really good at is making utensils, not fighting head-on, so relying on my own strength, I can't survive in the underground palace at all. If you are willing to accept me, I can make a lot of things for you."

Liu Ping thought for a while, then reached out and tapped on the bar counter.

People in the bar stood up one after another and walked out.

The bartender wiped the table clean, served Liu Ping another glass of wine, and was the last one to walk out of the bar and stand guard outside the door.

"What's the secret, tell me." Liu Ping said.

"You want to listen to the secret now? This is actually very dangerous. You may not be able to bear the risks inherent in telling some secrets." The man said.

"Let's talk, it's okay." Liu Ping said with a smile.

The man took a breath and lowered his voice, "Maybe you don't know how you got into this place."

Liu Ping looked at him, waiting for his next words.

The man seemed to think of something, a look of fear flashed across his face, and he said nervously: "Are you like me, who obviously built a 'Noah'-class Void Shenzhou when the world was destroyed, but at the last moment, Find that everything is gone, and you appear in this underground palace?"

"Go on." Liu Ping said.

The man raised his hand and showed it in front of Liu Ping.

His hand quickly turned into a pale white hand with more than a dozen slender fingers.

"We have all been turned into nightmares... We have also gained powerful power because of this, but the reason why this power exists is actually to allow us to fight more tragically."

"—the underground palace has endless ways for us to fight!"

The man said with a face full of despair.

"Do you suspect that this is a place for raising Gu?" Liu Ping asked.

"What is a place for raising Gu?" The man asked confusedly.

"It's a place similar to the Death Arena." Liu Ping said.

"Yes," the man looked around nervously, lowered his voice and said quickly: "The owner of this underground palace destroyed countless worlds, but picked out suitable creatures from those worlds and put them here, turned them into nightmares, and then Watch them kill each other."

"How many worlds are there?" Liu Ping asked suddenly.

"Seven! Seven nightmare worlds!" the man said.

Liu Ping nodded secretly.

This is the same as Bai Nadao said.

It seems that this man has found some truth.

Liu Ping said: "Since there are seven nightmare worlds, there are always some particularly powerful beings who can become the kings among the crowd."

"It's useless at all, the underground palace will always find a way - it has endless ways to force everyone to fight continuously, and the king has a moment to die." The man clenched his fists and repeated again.

Liu Ping calmed down a bit, and said in a gentle voice:
"Then you follow me, what's the next plan?"

The man cheered up and said, "Since I'm going to be your servant, I'll tell you—"

"Listen, I never told this secret."

"I have found the weak point of the underground palace, it is at the center of the last underground palace, we only need to find a few more materials to build a piece of equipment, use it to dig through the underground palace, and escape from here! "

The voice fell.

The void behind the man suddenly opened.

A long, sharp tentacles stretched out, piercing the back of the man's heart with the sharp thorn at the end.

"Ah...ah..."

The man's eyes widened sharply, spitting out blood.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to grab Liu Ping.

"save--"

As soon as he uttered a word, all his flesh and blood was wiped away, leaving only bones.

There was a sound of liquid flowing in the tentacles.

A cold voice sounded in the air:

"Discover the breaker of the rules of the dungeon."

"Spot cleaning has been carried out."

"In order to protect the secrets of the underground palace, we began to further obliterate the hearers of the secret—"

The tentacles pointed to Liu Ping.

In an instant, the prison knife on Liu Ping's waist shook suddenly.

Lines of burning small characters floated in the void:
"The power 'Silence' of the Prison Suppressing Knife has been activated."

"With this powerful body protection, you can hear all the secrets and be fearless."

The tentacles remained motionless in mid-air.

For a while.

The cold voice sounded again:
"The hearer of the secret has not been found."

"The cleanup operation is over."

The tentacles slowly retracted, retreated into the void and disappeared.

There was a dead silence in the bar.

in front of the bar.

The bone was still sitting on the seat not far from Liu Ping.

Its pale white bone arm was still raised in the air, and its mouth was forcefully opened, as if it was roaring silently.

Liu Ping sighed, and murmured: "What sequence is this..."

The baby girl seemed to have sensed it, and turned over on his lap, her small mouth shrunk, and she began to sob softly.

Liu Ping hugged and coaxed the baby girl.

He didn't stand up until the baby girl fell into a peaceful dream again, and walked out of the bar.
