Purgatory Artist-Chapter 191: Flawless
Chapter 191 - Flawless
Liu Ping took a few steps back and stared at Andrea. He thought to himself,
"Activate 'Lord of Heroic Spirits'!"
In an instant, a faintly discernible square frame appeared around Andrea. Then, a number "40" appeared on the upper left corner of her head.
Lines of burning words quickly appeared in front of his eyes.
[Dragonling: Andrea.]
[Level 40.]
[Item required for leveling up: Flawless Dragon Spine.]
[Description: This is a one-in-a-million Dragon Spine. Only the purest and noblest Dragons will leave behind such a Dragon Spine as a symbol of their status when their souls dissipate.]
[— When Andrea was still alive, a piece of her bone was completely removed. Therefore, even if she awakens in the Eternal Night, she will not be able to grow, unless ... you find a 'Flawless Dragon Spine'.]
Liu Ping's expression changed slightly.
Was it a coincidence?
Or did someone deliberately plan to do this?
Andrea looked at his constantly changing expression and thought that he was worried about the current situation. She whispered, "Liu Ping if there's no other way, let's leave this human empire. I've been in the Eternal Night for a long time and have some ability to avoid the Sleepers' senses. At least we won't be in too much danger."
"We can't leave now ..."
Liu Ping suddenly came to his senses halfway and asked, "You have a way to avoid those Sleepers?"
"Yes." Andrea said.
"In other words, you can sense them?" Liu Ping asked further.
"That's right. Those slumbering entities will release a long and deep wave of energy from their bodies. We dragons can sense the aura and waves of energy from all kinds of existences." Andrea said.
Liu Ping heaved a sigh of relief.
She was a Level 40 Dragon after all!
He immediately said, "Try to sense if there are any Sleepers near this snow mountain."
Andrea focused for a moment and said, "There are no Sleepers, but there is a group of humans moving on the other side of the mountain."
"There are people?" Liu Ping asked curiously.
He looked in the direction that Andrea pointed and could only see a vast expanse of snow.
The temperature began to drop.
The snow became thicker and the wind became stronger. It seemed that a snowstorm was about to form.
At such a time.
There were still people on this snow mountain?
"Let's go and take a look at the situation." said Liu Ping.
He and Andrea crossed the mountain ridge and hid in a hidden snow pit, looking down at the slope below.
A group of people were holding torches as they trudged through the rugged mountain path.
Suddenly, one of them slipped and fell into the snow.
The others immediately helped him up.
"God's mercy! How far do we have to go to reach that place?"
Someone asked loudly.
The snowstorm was so fierce that the leader had no choice but to shout.
"Hold on, we'll be there in another fifteen minutes."
Everyone's spirits were lifted. They held up their torches and continued on their way.
"Gods ..."
Liu Ping murmured.
He hid in the dark and winked at Andrea.
Andrea instantly turned into a card and hid in Liu Ping's arms.
Liu Ping stood up and quietly approached those people. Finally, he stood at the back of those people.
He followed the crowd until he was discovered by the person who was originally at the back.
"You are — —" the man asked doubtfully.
"Let's go, we'll reach our destination in 15 minutes." Liu Ping urged.
In front of his eyes, lines of burning text quickly appeared:
[You've activated the Acting Ability: Fishmonger]
[You've imitated the other party's actions and said what they're concerned about, the Ability has been successfully activated]
[You've become one of these believers; they've naturally accepted you]
All the text faded away.
The man was surprised: "I thought I was at the back, who would've thought there would be a comrade behind me."
"There's a benefit to walking at the back — — - the person in front is blocking the snowstorm, so we'll be able to walk a bit more smoothly." Liu Ping silently said.
The man smiled and replied in a low voice: "That's what I thought too."
"Buddy, do you have any more torches?" Liu Ping asked.
"Here."
The man casually took out a small torch and gave it to Liu Ping.
Liu Ping lit a torch and followed behind him as they continued forward.
After a while, the two believers went back and forth to check the situation. When they saw Liu Ping, they didn't say anything, only nodded and told him, "Keep up, don't slack." before returning.
Fifteen minutes later.
The believers arrived at a place where they could take shelter from the wind.
The leader took out a map, circled around it, and finally confirmed their location.
"It's here, shovel the snow away!"
He loudly called out.
Liu Ping followed the rest and shoveled away all the snow on the ground.
Below the layer of snow, there was something covered by a white camouflage cloth.
The leader pulled the cloth away.
Below it was a rhombus-shaped formation carved with various runes.
The leader took a deep breath and muttered: "It's about to begin, get ready."
He took out a candle from his chest, lit it, and placed it in the middle of the formation before loudly chanting an incantation.
As he chanted, the flame on the candle gradually became unreal, and all the runes began to emit light.
Suddenly, a low and brutal voice resounded:
「Who is calling me?」
The leader immediately replied: "Venerable sir, I am a believer of the Nine-Winged Fallen God, under the guidance of my God, I've summoned you."
From the formation, the voice became a lot clearer: 「You dare to recklessly disturb my slumber ...」
The leader hurriedly gestured to the people next to him.
The believers opened the bags they carried with them and sprinkled the gems on top of the formation.
The gems slowly piled up into a small mountain.
"This is a greeting gift for you, please calm down" the leader said.
Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.
The voice coldly scoffed.
The gems slowly sank into the formation and disappeared without a trace.
「Your God is a miser, never willing to contribute a single soul to me ...」
"Sir, in truth, that's exactly why we're here" the leader replied.
「Ah?」the voice was a bit interested 「Tell me!」
"Two days later, a powerful human Professionist will arrive here. Our God can't act personally, so we hope that you can do it yourself. Once it's done, that person's soul will belong to you." the leader said.
「So you're here to ask for my help, these gems aren't enough. 」 the voice replied.
"Of course"
The leader waved his hand to signal the believers.
The believers stepped forward, opened their bags, and placed all sorts of precious weapons, armors, and rare treasures on the formation.
When it was Liu Ping's turn, he didn't step forward and simply stood on one side.
The leader glanced at him and felt a bit confused, but since it wasn't a good time to ask, he decided to ignore it for now.
"Sir, these things are all precious treasures of the empire, our God hopes that you can help us once." the leader said.
Everything slowly sank into the formation and disappeared without a trace.
The voice spoke up again「For the sake of these things, tell me the details, and I'll reluctantly help you once.」
The leader was overjoyed and hurriedly replied: "Two days later, a train will pass through Bai Feng Plains, you only need to kill the most powerful person on that train."
「Bai Feng Plains ... I understand.」the voice replied.
The light of the formation dimmed.
It seemed that this matter was about to come to an end.
Liu Ping suddenly stepped forward and spoke: "Sir, our God still has an extremely confidential matter to discuss with you, but it can't be heard by these normal subordinates of ours."
The light of the formation stabilized.
An invisible force exuded from the light and enveloped Liu Ping.
The voice resounded in his ears:
「It's fine now, they won't be able to hear our conversation, go ahead.」
Liu Ping spoke: "Our God is looking for something, if you have it, we're willing to buy it."
「What is it?」 the voice asked.
"The Flawless Dragon Spine." Liu Ping replied.
「What the hell」 the voice became gloomy,「your God actually needs something like that, could it be that he has a dragon working for him?」
Liu Ping could hear a bit of helplessness in the other party's voice and continued: "If that's the case, you do have something like that, don't you?"
「That's right, I do have it, but why should I give it to you?」 the voice asked.
Liu Ping thought for a bit and spoke:
"If you're willing to exchange a 'Flawless Dragon Spine' with us, you won't need to act against that human in two days, and the payment we gave you just now will be used to buy the Dragon Spine, what do you think?"
