Purgatory Artist-Chapter 254: Evolution!
Chapter 254 - Evolution!
Snowstorm.
The northern wind howled, the snowstorm continued.
Libertas and Norton were squatting in a small cave. They started a fire and were cooking some food.
Norton grumbled as he warmed himself.
"We could have left this place that froze people to death, but you hinted that we shouldn't leave — — why are we staying here?"
Libertas flipped a piece of corn skillfully and said, "What's that card of yours?"
"I originally had a long-distance teleportation card, but I changed it to a short-distance teleportation card at the last moment" Norton said.
"Space card book ... that's impressive."
"You haven't answered my question."
"Answer what? You think they're looking for a place to get intimate? "Libertas sneered.
"Isn't that the case?" Norton asked.
"Of course not, Hua Qingkong is a Spirit Summoner — — she told me personally that before she reaches level 20, the spirits she can summon will appear by her side at any time"
"They hide in the void, or occasionally possess her, she can't control them" Libertas said.
Norton pondered for a moment, then muttered: "You mean — —"
"That's right," Libertas said.
The two of them exchanged glances and reached a consensus.
Yes.
Hua Qingkong was a girl, no matter how much she liked Liu Ping, she was too embarrassed to do anything with Liu Ping under the gazes of so many spirits, or when she was possessed by spirits.
She probably wouldn't even dare to say a word of love.
Then — —
Norton picked up a roasted potato and blew on it as he said, "Maybe they really have something important to do"
"If that's the case, then we shouldn't leave. We should find a hidden place to wait for them," Libertas said.
Norton thought for a bit and patted his shoulder, "You're not bad, Liu Ping made the right choice to befriend you"
"Since 'Night Wish' has been established, we need to make it bigger and stronger, we can't easily give up on the two original founders of the team" Libertas said.
Norton patted his card book and said, "When we meet them later, leave the escape to me."
"Hidden path?"
"Yes"
"Good, then leave it to me to observe the situation"
"You?"
"Yes, considering the time, my ability should've recovered by now"
Saying so, Libertas lightly pulled something from the void of space.
A card appeared in his hand.
A walking snowman was drawn on the card, and a line of small words floated above the snowman's head:
[Stop it]
Libertas looked at the line of small words and then at the snowman. He was confused for a moment.
"— — A Mystic-type Divination Card! What is it trying to tell us? "Norton was surprised.
"Seems like it wants us to stop a snowman" Libertas wasn't sure.
The ground suddenly..
The two of them suddenly stood up and rushed out of the cave. They stood on a high ground and looked around.
"What's going on?"
"Over there!"
"My god!"
On the other side of the snowy mountain, the frost that connected the sky and the earth was spreading.
A Person.
A person trapped in frost appeared on the hillside in front of them.
He was trapped in the endless ice and frost, but he still slowly took a step forward, moving firmly in a certain direction.
The ice and snow could not completely seal him, so it could only follow him into the depths of the snow mountain.
"Emperor of the Empire!" Libertas exclaimed.
"What do you mean? He's that insect? "Norton hurriedly asked.
"Yes"
The two of them silently watched this eerie scene.
Every time the Emperor took a step forward, the ground would start to shake, as if a high-intensity earthquake was happening.
The ice that connected the sky and the earth was slowly moving forward, squeezing the snow mountain.
In the distance, an avalanche was happening.
Norton looked around and his expression suddenly changed. He said in an incredulous tone, "What?
"So that's what it is ... how unimaginable ..."
"What is it?" Libertas couldn't help but ask.
"It's dragging the entire frost seal" Norton blankly said, "Every time it takes a step, the entire seal is moving with it, in other words — —"
"It's dragging the entire sealed world of frost!"
— — but why is it doing that?
Norton and Libertas both had the same thought.
Norton said: "The direction it's moving in ..."
Libertas said, "It seems to be in the direction of Liu Ping and Hua Qingkong."
The same answer appeared in their minds at the same time.
— — Liu Ping and Hua Qingkong!
Something must have happened to them, causing that monster to want to go there and do something.
Libertas looked at the suggestion card in his hand.
Stop it.
Libertas clenched his teeth and rushed towards the frozen person.
"That damn bastard, it must be looking for Liu Ping and Hua Qingkong, we have to stop it!"
He rushed in front of the frozen person and tried to block the frost with both hands.
It was useless.
The irresistible force continued to move forward.
Libertas was forced to retreat step by step.
"Damn it, it's clearly sealed in frost, but it can still move — — I finally know why the evil creatures of Purgatory didn't come"
He stared at the Emperor inside the frost.
The Emperor's expression didn't change, but his eyes showed a hint of contempt.
The Emperor slowly took a step forward.
The world was shaking.
The ice and frost followed him as he moved forward.
"Damn it, Norton, do you have a way to stop him?" Libertas loudly asked.
"I'll try!"
Norton drew a card and muttered: "Spatial Separation!"
He threw the card forward.
Rumble rumble — — -
With a loud noise, the mountain slope was split in half, with a bottomless ravine about a few dozen meters wide in the middle.
The Emperor, along with the frost that had frozen him, was separated by the deep ravine!
He couldn't reach the other side of the ravine!
The Emperor stopped and appeared to be in deep thought.
Oong — —
A series of noises resounded from the sky.
"Libertas, return!"
Norton immediately shouted.
Libertas' figure flashed and flew next to Norton.
"The secret path!"
Norton shouted.
Instantly, the two of them disappeared from the mountain slope.
...
"Liu Ping, you have to avenge me!" the white cat said.
"I told her to take you there, don't you want to get rid of Tribulation a bit faster?" Liu Ping helplessly said.
"But we're still 10% away" the white cat was unconvinced.
Liu Ping felt a headache: "I remember you have the ability to scout for information, how about you try it here, maybe you'll find something we don't know about, that way you'll be able to get rid of Tribulation realm for good"
"Ah? Why didn't I think of that? "
The white cat's attention was indeed diverted, she laid on Liu Ping's shoulder and pricked up her ears to listen.
Liu Ping silently sighed in relief.
A card flew out from the ocean and lightly landed in front of Liu Ping.
Following that, Yana flew up.
"It's easy to find, it's giving off a certain kind of power fluctuation, I noticed it right away" Yana smiled.
"Nicely done"
Liu Ping held the card.
There was a ring drawn on the card, embedded with two rows of sparkling gems, looking eerie and full of power.
Lines of burning words immediately appeared:
[You've obtained a new Sequence core card:]
[Soul Retrieval Ring]
[Your EXP has been increased to 60%]
[Up until now, you've obtained a total of 6 Sequence core cards, this Sequence will soon take over: 'Land of Exile']
[Furthermore, this Sequence has obtained enough core cards, beginning evolution]
[Please choose your desired evolution path from the following three options:]
[One: Three Points Evolution Path]
[Two: Fetters of Fate]
[Three: Lord of Heroic Spirits]
Liu Ping hesitated for a bit, then answered without hesitation: "I choose 'Three Points Evolution Path'"
[Are you sure?] the Sequence asked.
"I'm sure" Liu Ping replied.
My biggest problem right now is that my level is too low and I'm too weak.
If I'm strong enough — — -
As long as I have a 30% chance of winning against that monster, I won't waste any more time running.
I'll just go up and fight it.
New lines of burning text quickly appeared:
[Attention]
[Three Points Evolution Path has begun evolution]
[Heroic Spirit UI has begun to link to the 'Land of Exile' Sequence world]
[If you can obtain more Core Cards, the evolution and linking of this operation interface will speed up]
Liu Ping read through it all.
If that's the case, I'll have to hurry up and collect the remaining cards.
— — -to avoid any unexpected problems.
"Liu Ping! Monsters are coming! "
The white cat suddenly called out.
"Is that so? I didn't sense anything "Yana was confused.
The white cat glared at her, then scoffed: "Of course you can't sense it, they're very far away, but their flying speed is quite fast, about the same as you were just now"
Liu Ping and Yana exchanged glances.
"Have you ever seen an insect with the same speed as you?" Liu Ping asked.
"I haven't" Yana answered.
The white cat suddenly stood up, all of its fur stood up, then shouted:
"Be careful! They're coming! "
At the end of the sea and sky, a few blurred figures were flying towards them!
Liu Ping took a deep breath and loudly shouted:
"Stop! Listen to me! "
Almost at the same time, Yana swung her Shadow Blade and quickly slashed at the void of space — — -
Clang clang clang clang!
A series of crisp clanging noises.
The insects rolled and revealed themselves, landing not too far away from Liu Ping.
"Stop! Listen to me — — "
Liu Ping called out again.
The insects instantly hovered in the air, motionless.
"They weren't controlled by your Mystic Skill at first, until you used it for the second time" Yana spoke in a low voice.
Liu Ping thought for a bit, then said:
"Because their movement speed surpassed the speed of sound — — if you hadn't blocked it just now, they would've killed me before they even heard what I said"
"They evolved that fast?" Yana couldn't believe it.
Liu Ping slowly flew behind the insects, touching the shells on top of their heads.
"Yana" he called out.
"What is it?"
"Do you still remember where we slashed the insect king?"
"I remember, the top of their heads"
"Come and take a look"
Yana flew over to take a look, then also touched the top of the insects' heads.
"Their speed caught up to mine, broke your Mystic Skill, not only that, they also strengthened the shells on top of their heads ..."
She spoke in a low voice.
The two of them exchanged glances, both of them felt a chill run down their spines.
"We killed the insect king, there weren't any other insects at the scene, how did they know how to evolve the ability to counter us?" Liu Ping calmly said.
Yana raised her Shadow Blade.
"Don't attack" Liu Ping said.
"What?" Yana didn't understand.
"What if they're only here to collect our combat characteristics, then evolve accordingly ..." Liu Ping said.
Yana scowled: "That's too terrifying"
Liu Ping observed the worms and said softly, "Don't worry.
"They seem to be getting stronger ... but I don't know why ..."
"That's right, we've killed quite a few insects before, but they've never changed so quickly, there must be something we don't know" Yana said.
Liu Ping pondered:
"If this continues, we won't be able to deal with it sooner or later, so — —"
"So?" Yana continued.
Liu Ping took the white cat down from his shoulder and said: "Zhao Chanyi, go through your Tribulation realm first, then we'll try not to kill any more insects"
"Meow"
The white cat turned back into Zhao Chanyi, took the Shadow Blade from Yana's hand and raised it up — —
At the same time.
Liu Ping held the [Soul Retrieval Ring] tightly.
Although he doesn't know what happened, he has to hurry up and find the rest of the Cards.
"[Fetters of Fate]!" he muttered.
Lines of blazing text quickly appeared on the Card.
