Chapter 550 The Return
under night.

Arland paced back and forth around the campfire.

The rabbit squatted on Liu Ping's shoulder, his eyes moved with him.

"I said, can you stop for a while." It said.

"What?" Alain replied.

"You keep walking up and down, and my head is dizzy." The rabbit complained.

Alan De looked around vigilantly, and said, "It's almost six o'clock, and he's still sleeping."

"What does it matter?" Rabbit said.

"—At six o'clock, the headquarters will send new professionals to join the advance team." Aland said.

"You are the captain, what are you afraid of?" Rabbit spread his hands and said.

"The casualties have been serious recently. I don't know how the headquarters will react. I'm afraid that the higher-ups will use some means that I don't know about." Aland said worriedly.

The rabbit thought for a while and said, "You are worried about your status."

"Of course! Isn't that obvious?" Aland said.

"Then why are you watching him while walking?" Rabbit wondered.

"It was he who came up with some rare treasures to help me regain the position of captain - next, I need his support to have the confidence to deal with the upcoming situation." Aland said.

The rabbit looked at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping was still in a deep sleep.

Alan De's expression changed suddenly, he looked up at the sky and said, "At six o'clock, the order from the headquarters is coming."

In the depths of the sky, a ray of light quickly fell.

Alan De was watching silently, but after a few breaths, his face gradually changed.

"asshole!"

he cursed.

The rabbit also looked up, only to see that ray of light falling straight towards the direction of the camp, and it seemed that it was going to smash the whole camp into pieces.

——No wonder Aland is so angry!
"These guys are too much of a bully, get on it, man," Rabbit yelled.

"They're going to die!" Alande roared angrily, and drew the sword from his waist.

He held the sword, took a deep breath, exuding an astonishing aura.

As a sword master, as the former captain of the advance team, his strength has always been good, and he can even summon the phantom of nightmare monsters.

— After putting on the green dragon helmet, he had some problems.

Seeing the light flying closer and closer, Alande gritted his teeth and pressed the long sword tightly, but did not pull it out.

"Fuck 'em, buddy!" Rabbit growled.

Countless thoughts flashed through Alan De's mind, and he sighed suddenly: "Our task is not good enough, and I don't have enough merits. The other party wants to give us a blow, and we can only bear it."

He shook his head, walked across the campfire, and stood in front of Liu Ping.

"Oh, it's boring." The rabbit said disappointedly.

next second.

The light finally hit the camp.

boom!
Amidst the violent noise, a large amount of smoke and dust rose into the air.

An invisible shock wave swept across the entire camp, flattening everything.

Alan De led Liu Ping back a long time ago, avoiding the impact far away.

"It's so arrogant, I want to see who it is." He said with a gloomy face.

A playful laugh sounded in the smoke:

"Juvenile Saint Alan De, you will always look like a strong outsider, but it is really wrong to entrust the advance team to you."

Several figures appeared quietly.

"You are...why are there so many people!" Alan De said in amazement.

The smoke dissipated.

I saw five professionals standing on the original camp site.

The leading professional was a dark-skinned man, wearing a pair of narrow-rimmed sunglasses, holding a wooden spear in his hand, a bow and arrow hanging from his waist, and a barrel of arrows behind him.

Aland's pupils shrank suddenly, and he shouted: "Poison Snake, aren't you going to be promoted to the rank of general? Why did you become a member of the advance army?"

"Ah... You talked about my sadness. They said that my meritorious deeds were not good enough, and there happened to be some problems with the advance team, so I brought a separate team here to make contributions here, and then I can be promoted to general ” said the man known as Viper Shen.

Alan De looked into the void and said in a daze, "Advanced Team 2——Are you the captain of Team 2?"

"Yes, who told you to be so useless, one or two people will die every day." Said the poisonous snake Shen.

"That's my team's business. Do you have an opinion? It's none of your business!" Aland said.

"Of course it's none of my business. By the way, your helmet doesn't suit you at all." Viper Shen said.

"Treasures of the Dragon Clan, what do you know?" Alan De said with a smile.

Viper Shen's face darkened.

Dragon?

This guy found the dragon's treasure?
He glanced behind Alan De, and his eyes fell on Liu Ping for a while.

Aboriginal practitioners...

Alan De guarded him so tightly, this guy is probably very important.

In other words, if there is any information, this guy is very likely to know.

Viper Shen suddenly smiled and said: "Alan De, the practitioner behind you is the trainee member you recruited? It's really rude to see the officer still sleeping - come and test his fineness."

"Yes!"

The four people behind the poisonous snake Shen all disappeared.

"Bastard, go back!" Alan De drew out his dagger and shouted.

……

the other side.

Delia's body was lying in a pool of blood.

Liu Ping stood aside, his whole body turned into nothingness with special effects, quietly looking at the corpse on the ground.

A white-haired old man ordered:

"Bury her, mark her well, and when I find a buyer later, I will take her soul out."

"Yes, butler."

Two attendants came to the lawn with hoes on their shoulders and began to dig a new cemetery.

It's still raining.

The banquet in the manor also continued.

The matter on the lawn was over. When the owner of the manor no longer paid attention to it, the guests attending the banquet maintained due courtesy, quickly changed the topic, and began to discuss other matters.

Liu Ping stood in the rain, watching everything quietly.

Andrea's voice sounded:
"What's next? What else can we do?"

The two attendants laboriously carried the non-existent corpse, placed it in the coffin, and then buried it underground.

"What is buried is deceit, and what will be discovered in the future will be falsehood—and with your 'nothing body', no one will pay attention to this matter." Liu Ping said.

Soon.

The two attendants restored the land to its original state, just stood up, and immediately forgot what happened just now.

"Why are we carrying hoes?" one asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, maybe the master asked us to do something—and then erased our memory." Another person said.

"Then there is no need to say more." No.1 understood.

They looked into the hall.

The music there was melodious, and the guests and the host chatted happily, bursting into laughter from time to time.

—no one remembers that a woman died on the lawn.

She was once the greatest melee mage.

She would have been a fruit to be eaten by some great man.

"You did it, Liu Ping, no one will find out that we have done a trick." Andrea said happily.

Liu Ping looked towards the void.

He saw lines of burning small characters appearing in front of his eyes:
"Delia has successfully escaped the line of mortal fate, and you are stepping on the path that originally belonged to her."

"You lied to everyone, your past and your future."

"You got away too."

"The fate of the human race has ushered in a glimmer of light, which has never happened before."

"Since you have defeated a nightmare monster, please return to the blood river immediately and hand over its corpse to the human heroic spirits."

"This is extremely important!"

"I repeat, this is extremely important!"

"It is very likely that they will find all useful information from this corpse."

All fine print is gone in a flash.

Liu Ping felt something in his heart, and slowly walked towards the remote corner of the manor.

As he was walking, he suddenly stretched out his hand and raised the torch, turning his whole body into a bloody skeleton.

When he completed such a ceremony, a small road appeared under his feet, and the two sides of the road were full of boiling blood.

next moment.

He disappeared from the manor and appeared in the boundless whirlpool of blood.

The blood was rushing, galloping and roaring, and hundreds of millions of heroic spirits looked towards him in the long river.

Liu Ping walked back to the center of the Blood River along the path, shed the nightmare embrace from his body, held up a torch and said, "Everyone, I went to try it just now, and then—"

"I succeeded."

With a wave of his hand, he released the human corpse in a monster shell.

The corpse floated in mid-air.

Hundreds of millions of eyes were fixed on the corpse, but no one made a sound.

Humanity.

Inside the body of the nightmare monster was a human being.

Such a result, I am afraid that no heroic spirit can imagine.

"Is it the same kind?"

"Humanity……"

"Why is there a human in the body of the nightmare monster?"

"what is the problem?"

The heroic spirits were full of doubts and bewilderment, and the hatred and reluctance in their expressions were actually covered a little.

An old voice sounded from the depths of the blood river:
"You saved the last melee mage, which has given us hope we never had."

"I didn't expect you to kill such a guy."

"We must concentrate all our strength to analyze it and see what is the truth beyond the nightmare."

The corpse flew up, sank into the river of blood, and disappeared.

All the heroic spirits sank into the blood river, followed the corpse, and sank toward the depths of the blood river.

The old voice said with emotion: "We have fought for countless years, and never thought that the nightmare monsters would be human beings."

Liu Ping said: "Then this corpse—"

"We are trying our best to find useful information from it, you need to wait for a while."

"Ok."

After Liu Ping finished speaking, he stood still.

Suddenly, lines of small burning characters appeared in front of his eyes again:
"Your two reincarnation powers have merged into 'knowledge like a god', but the heroic spirits of the human race have given you the special ability of 'killing for pleasure', which does not belong to the two reincarnation powers."

"'Killing for pleasure' is still in play."

"Ability description: Whenever you finish killing, you can obtain soul power from the dead enemy to improve your strength and realm."

"From entering the Darkest World until you kill the unknown nightmare monster, all killings have been settled."

"The soul power you have obtained is enough to allow you to advance to the next realm, and even the next realm."

"special reminder:"

"—If you are ready, please start to welcome the catastrophe."

Liu Ping looked at the lines of prompts and fell into deep thought.

"I'd better go back first, your side is fine, call me again." He said.

"Good!" said the old voice.

Liu Ping's figure gradually faded, completely disappearing into the river of blood.
