Purgatory Artist-Chapter 216: Secret Talk

Lilith's voice silently came:

"Hey, rock, there are a lot of demon ant corpses outside, how about I get a few of them and bring them to the river?"

The rock replied: "Please don't, even though it's chaotic right now, if any demon ants leave the battlefield and run towards the river, they might attract the attention of those two."

"That makes sense, but do we really have to stay here forever? It's very dangerous here, we almost died just now. "Lilith said.

"Let's wait a bit longer." the rock replied.

"Hmph, I have a lot of experience in hiding, how about you just listen to me?" Lilith said.

"That's right, your hiding skills are excellent, but when it comes to survival, I suggest you listen to me." the rock replied.

Its tone became heavier and continued: "In front of these two monsters, we have no way to save ourselves."

Lilith didn't say anything.

Time slowly passed.

The sound of explosions outside was getting louder and louder.

The entire devil city had been reduced to rubble, turning into a giant crater. The river had begun to flow back into the city.

A crack in the ground started to fill with water.

Carried by the current, the rock rushed into the depths of the crevice, crashing into a devil's corpse buried deep underground.

It remained motionless, silently waiting.

Suddenly ...

The sound of explosions outside stopped.

"Huh?" Lilith was surprised.

"Shh, be quiet, let's listen to what's going on." the rock said.

A few moments later.

The woman's voice came from the sky: "Ant Queen, I'm going to use my full power."

The ant queen replied with a rumbling voice: "I'm not afraid of you."

"Prepare to die." the woman coldly declared.

After that, there was no more sound.

Complete silence outside.

The small stone lay motionless in the depths of the ground.

Suddenly.

Lines of burning words appeared before his eyes:

[As this Sequence has obtained the core card of The Fool's Sequence, it has completely grasped everything about The Fool. Therefore, this Sequence can check the relevant information about The Fool's Sequence.]

[Please take note that an information exchange with The Fool is taking place. Do you wish to check the relevant content?]

Little Rock said, "Check."

Lines of text quickly appeared in the void of space:

[The information exchange based on The Fool is as follows:]

[Vicious Snake: 'Have you found it?']

[The Soul Slayer Ant Queen: 'Found it. The fluctuations caused by our battle have indeed attracted the attention of a strange sequence. I've already found its location. My advanced troop class is destroying that shelter. The souls won't be able to escape.']

[Vicious snake: 'But I didn't find my target. What a pity.']

[The Soul Slayer Ant Queen said: 'Don't worry about it. Although two mystical souls are rare, according to our agreement, I'll give you 30% of the souls.]

[The Soul Slayer Ant Queen: 'In the past, you occupied the territory near The Fool. It was easiest for you to obtain high-quality human souls ... but The Fool has closed ... Why aren't you coming back with me?']

[Vicious snake: 'The reason why I used The Fool to communicate with you is to let you see this.']

[Prompt: The Vicious Snake shared a piece of information with the Soul Slayer Ant Queen.]

[The information is as follows:]

[Purgatory Arrest Order.]

[Found and caught an examiner who escaped from the 'Fool 3-6912' sequence. His name is' Liu Ping. 'Human male, 14 years old. Profession: Knight. Short hair. Black eyes. Naturalist. Card master. Has cards but no books.]

[Reward: 10,000 human souls.]

[The Soul Slayer Ant Queen: 'You didn't catch him?']

[Vicious snake: 'I wanted to play with him, so I let him go. Who knew that I would only know his importance after receiving the arrest order.']

[The Soul Slayer Ant Queen said, 'Then there's nothing we can do. Maybe he was eaten by me, or maybe he was eaten by those spies. In short, he's not here. Even the ground here has been plowed back and forth several times. There's nothing unusual.']

[Vicious snake: 'From the looks of it, we can only give up on this arrest order. By the way, I don't know if you noticed, but among the spies, there's a guy who's five levels weaker than us.']

[Soul Slayer Ant Queen: 'With such strength, he dares to spy on us from the side. He wants to see us suffer losses and then profit from it? Why don't we go and eat him! ']

[Vicious snake: 'Go.']

All the small words slowly disappeared.

In the sky, the woman's voice sounded again.

"Ant Queen, you plotted against me!"

The Ant Queen's smug voice sounded. "Who told you to be so arrogant? Don't run!"

"Hmph. See you next time."

Two deafening voices broke through the air.

Time passed.

The world gradually became quiet.

The rock lay deep in the ground, still motionless.

These two monsters were actually using The Fool to communicate.

Could it be that they have some kind of connection with the devils of Purgatory?

That seemed to be the case.

After all, the Vicious snake had been guarding outside The Fool. Perhaps it wasn't just for the sake of souls.

In fact, it was inextricably linked to Purgatory itself.

"Liu Ping, the two monsters have left," Lilith said.

"Do you know their origins?" the pebble asked.

"I only know that the snake has a card book called 'Fruit of Malice.' As for the Ant Queen, the book in its hand is my mortal enemy."

"I see ..."

"Liu Ping, there's a devil's corpse next to us. Why don't I get it to dig a way out and take us out?" Lilith said excitedly.

"No, don't move," the Rock said.

"What are you still worried about?" Lilith asked curiously.

"Wait a little longer. Trust me, I have more experience in this area."

"What do you mean?"

"Hunting."

"... Okay."

A day and a night later.

The entire devil's city continued to be filled with river water.

Finally.

The wide river submerged it.

The cracked soil above the rock was gradually washed away by the river water.

Another half a day passed.

All kinds of strange aquatic creatures appeared in this newly developed water area.

A crustacean with three pairs of eyes dug through the sand and found the black rock.

It used its pincers to hold the rock and gently threw it behind.

This was the place where it built its nest. It only needed soft sand. rocks would affect the comfort of the nest.

The black rock floated gently in the water and fell back into a pile of rocks.

It found that the devil's corpse buried in the soil was also lying next to the rocks. It was gently floating back and forth with the current.

Until then.

The rock finally spoke.

"Lilith."

"What?" Lilith said angrily.

"I remember that you can control fish?"

"Yes."

"Find a fish. That kind of fish that likes to spit rock for fun. Is there such a fish?"

"No, but there's a kind of scavenger fish that eats everything."

"Okay, that's it."

A few moments later.

A large fish several meters long swam over and ate the devil's corpse in a few bites.

While it was eating, it accidentally swallowed some of the debris around it.

It also swallowed the black pebble.

After a few moments, the large fish finished eating the corpse and swam away, satisfied.

Now that it was full, it began to swim freely in the water.

About half an hour later.

The large fish slowly floated up to the surface.

It suddenly noticed something very strange.

Right above him, a skull was moving closer to observe it.

When it saw that it was a Scavenger Fish that floated up, the skull slowly retracted its head.

It was a skeleton.

It was floating above the river.

Above the murky river, skeletons floated in the air one after another.

These skeletons were looking down at the river below as if they were monitoring something.

As far as the eye could see.

Not only were there countless skeletons above the river, but even the ground far away was also full of skeletons patrolling and wandering.

This river and the surrounding land were all under the surveillance of the skeletons.

When the large fish floated, other fish also floated along with the river.

In the water here, there were large amounts of wreckage, so scavenger fish could be seen everywhere.

The skeletons seemed to already know about this situation, so they only glanced at it briefly before no longer paying attention to it.

So the large fish dived back into the water and swam towards the depths of the river.

"Liu Ping."

Lilith's telepathy sounded again.

"Yes?" Little Rock responded.

"I have to thank you this time." Lilith said.

"You're welcome. Right, what's a refuge?" Little Rock asked.

"You don't know what a refuge is? How did you survive in Evernight? "Lilith was astonished.

Little Rock was silent.

But the refuge was also discovered by the two monsters.

Most likely, all the souls inside had been devoured by them.

"... Forget it, we'll talk about this later. Right now, you need to carefully control this fish and make it move according to its natural habits. Don't be in a hurry to escape from this area of water." Little Rock said.

"Okay," Lilith said cheerfully.

Two days later.

The large fish swam out of this area of water and came to a river without any skeletons watching.
