Chapter 605: Chapter 600: Witch Ghoul Reborn


    Looking at Nichs’s cautious face, Bai Qi was both angry and amused.


    He was angry that at least a mythical level resource was destroyed like that, and amused at how reliable Nichs had be.


    Nichs, who could easily y a legendary ferocious beast, was probably not far from being a demi-god. Being a pure blood giant dragon operating at an insane level, this rate of improvement was even scarier than cheating.


    “By the way, Bai Qi, why didn’t youe to find me first after you came back? I was about to die of boredom without you.”


    Nichs looked at Bai Qi somewhat resentfully.


    “I wanted to, but your body wasn’t at the Super God Evolution Research Institute, and Epsilon couldn’t get in touch with you in time, so I came here first.”


    Bai Qi pursed his lips.


    Nichs, a little embarrassed, scratched his head. “Well, I’ve been exploring the origin of the Jade Dream and developing my bloodline power recently, so my response may have beenter than usual, but it won’t be from now on.”


    “Did you finish your training?”


    Nichs said, “Yeah, I’ve finished this stage of training for now. I was just nning toe out and see the results before deciding on the direction and time of my next training.”


    Bai Qi: “…Nichs, has anyone ever told you that you’re a real go-getter now?”


    “Go-getter? What’s that?”


    Nichs was somewhat puzzled, Bai Qi thought for a moment and decided not to give Nichs a lecture on the topic.


    Well, being a go-getter is not a bad thing.


    “Bai Qi, you’re nning on going to the next level of the secret realm?”


    Nichs approached the teleportation circle, studied it for a moment, and said, “Although it’s very faint, I can sense a strong presence behind this teleportation circle.”


    “As expected, but I don’t n on going down yet.”


    Bai Qi shook his head.


    cing the supply station on the eighth floor meant that from the ninth floor on, there was likely to be an elite path. Judging from the dark smanders, they were likely to be legendary.


    The Twilight Tomb had been around for so many years. Even the Fire Rock Demon Tigers left behind by the Law Emperor for purification on the fifth and sixth floors had evolved into legends. The creatures on these remaining floors, if not already legends, would soon be them as long as they were not dead.


    Although Nichs was there and he could take a look, Bai Qi nned to mine all the Shadow ores here first before going any further.


    “Schuck, you organize the mining of the ores. Alpha, and the rest of you guys help.”


    “No problem.”


    Schuck nodded and gave the ore distribution map to Alpha and the other pets. The five pets immediately got busy.


    “Nichs, how’s the Jade Dream while I was gone?”


    As he was free, Bai Qi pulled Nichs to the side and asked about the recent situation.


    “Very good, more and more people are entering the Jade Dream, and the Jade Dreand is busier than before.”


    Nichs nodded, “And with the continuous spread of the Jade Imprint, the distance I can sense is increasing.”


    Nichs tilted his head thoughtfully, “ording to your human maps, I can now easily move between Gusu City and Langya City.”


    “From Gusu City to Langya City?”


    Bai Qi’s eyes widened with surprise. That was a distance of thousands of kilometers! Nichs could teleport directly? He was nning to inherit Old Lady Fan’s mantle before Delta did.


    The widespread use of the Jade Imprint was equivalent to setting up transfer stations for Nichs. Once the Jade Imprint was spread throughout the world, Nichs could perhaps teleport to a distant location just like Old Lady Fan.


    “How about it? Am I not strong now?”


    Nichs raised his head, anticipating praise from Bai Qi, who was not stingy and provided him with plenty of ttering words.


    “By the way, I found out that many Spirit Controllers have awakened the Bond Curse Mark in the Jade Dream. I don’t know if that information would be helpful to you.”


    “Talent awakened in the Jade Dreand? That’s really helpful.”


    Bai Qi nodded continuously. Although he couldn’t make any improvements on the hardware side for now and couldn’t guarantee a sess rate, if it was really like what Nichs said, he had the confidence to establish a Spirit Controller Legion in a short period of time.


    “That’s great. I was worried it wouldn’t be of much use.”


    Nichs showed a happy smile. As long as he could help Bai Qi, it was all good.


    Without the interference of Shadow beasts, the mining of the ores went smoothly and Bai Qi soon extracted enough.


    “Let’s stop here, let’s go down and take a look.”


    Bai Qi held the teleportation rune stone in his palm, climbed onto Nichs’s neck, and then allowed Nichs to step into the teleportation circle.


    Humming…


    The violent shaking made Bai Qi’s stomach churn violently, as if his internal organs were shifting, making him extremely ufortable.


    “What’s wrong? Has it been attacked?”


    Bai Qi sped his mouth, suppressing the urge to vomit, and asked.


    “I don’t know either, it seems like something is wrong with the array on the other side.”


    Nichs looked solemn, immediately establishing the Jade Domain to protect Bai Qi, and then, following the still intact link of the Teleportation Array, went flying ahead.


    Finally, just when Bai Qi felt as if his body were about to fall apart, the spatial shaking finally stopped. As he opened his eyes, he found himself standing before a massive pce.


    The imposing pce was identical to the imperial pce described in historical records. From the carvings on it, one could tell that they worshiped a Dragon Witch Ghoul.


    However, this monumental pce seemed to have been struck by some enormous object, causing substantial parts of it to copse, leaving debris scattered everywhere, with not a living creature in sight.


    “Why does it feel like it’s been struck by a meteor?”


    Gazing at the damaged structures, Bai Qi couldn’t help visualizing a scenario of a meteor falling from the sky, piercing these structures. However, considering their current location, Bai Qi expelled this train of thought from his mind.


    This was deep inside the Twilight Tomb; there was no way a meteor could exist here.


    Even if there were a meteor here, it should have also struck the previousyers. There was no reason for such an urrence to suddenly appear on the eighthyer.


    Without any unexpected factors, it must have been a powerful being battling here.


    “Nichs, do you detect the presence of powerful enemies?”


    Nichs sniffed the air. His eyes held a hint of peculiarity as he said, “I seem to, but not quite, and there’s a lot of them. It’s a strange sensation.”


    “A lot? Then let’s leave.”


    Without hesitation, Bai Qi turned to leave upon hearing Nichs’ words.


    He didn’t believe that Nichs’s sense would be wrong. Although the perceived result was unstable, it was generally acknowledged that such situations were equivalent to impending danger.


    “I was thinking the same thing.”


    Nichs nodded gravely. Examining such a bizarre ce required more preparation; otherwise, it would be too risky.


    However, just as they were about to leave, the pce suddenly began to shake. Subsequently, an aura mixed with Dragon Race, Undead, and Spirit energies rose from the pce, forming a dark cloud that covered the sky.


    “Damn it, my Teleportation Rune Stone doesn’t seem to be working.”


    Bai Qi was the first to notice something was amiss. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t teleport back.


    “No worries, I can get us back through the Jade Dream.”


    Seeing the circumstance, Nichs waved his hand dismissively, showing no signs of panic, and prepared to activate the Jade Imprint.


    However, at that moment, an enormous face began to form in the clouds overhead, staring intently at Bai Qi and his group.


    “Damn it all, I knew something was off!”


    Bai Qi cursed profusely at the sight, and Nichs had finally activated the Jade Imprint. Grabbing Bai Qi, he prepared to retreat to the Jade Dream.


    Yet, at that moment, Alpha and Jerry, as if responding to some sort of summons, slowly started flying towards the pce. Their trembling bodies clearly indicated they were resisting something.


    Butpared to the thing summoning them, Alpha and Jerry were far too weak, and they were still moving forward. Regardless of how Bai Qi called them, they could not return. He couldn’t even summon them by contract.


    “Damn it, is there some powerful Undead Creature?”


    Bai Qi cursed under his breath. The natural hierarchy among Undead Creatures is potent, and when theyprehend skills like being an Undead Dominator, their dominance increases.


    From the current situation, it seemed like some creature was controlling Alpha and Jerry using the Undead Dominator ability.@@novelbin@@


    “Nichs, help Alpha and Jerry first.”


    Bai Qi immediately gave up on running and motioned Nichs to bring Alpha and Jerry back.


    “Understood!”


    Nichs nodded, his immense dragon aura spreading out wildly, forcefully awakening Alpha and Jerry, and then protecting them within his Jade Domain.


    And at this point, Alpha and Jerry had already reached the front of the broken pce.


    “Bai Qi, that aura just came from right here.”


    Nichs pointed cautiously at the pce in front of them, having protected Alpha and the rest within his controble range, and prepared to leave.


    “I see.”


    Bai Qi nodded, unable to suppress his curiosity, and cast a nce towards the pce.


    However, what he saw left himpletely astonished, his mouth hanging open.


    A gaping hole had pierced through the entire pce, and even the ground below it, and…


    The next level of the secret realm, the level below that…


    Although it was hard to believe, Bai Qi distinctly saw the shattered spatial crystal walls and the differing environments of the worlds below.


    At the farthest end was absolute darkness, as if a bottomless abyss capable of devouring everything was present.


    “We can’t stick around here any longer!”


    Bai Qi frowned slightly upon seeing this and immediately urged Nichs to leave. But at that moment, the dark cloud overhead suddenly rolled back and instantly returned to its deepest parts.


    Immediately thereafter, to Bai Qi and Nichs’s astonishment, a creature emanating a strong Shadow Department Power emerged from below the ground.


    The creature resembled a dragon but upon closer inspection, appeared more like a giant snake. Its appearance was an exact match to the relief carvings on the pce walls!


    “The master of the Twilight Tomb, the Dragon Witch Ghoul…”
