I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 786. Are you the Black King?
Xia Feng hid in the shadows, observing Ms. Mi.

Just as Ms. Mi seemed to be getting impatient and was preparing to use her full strength...

Without hesitation, Xia Feng transformed into a streak of black and red light, breaking through the fog and piercing through the brow of the Six-Eyed Lion Demon. His figure materialized behind the Lion Demon, his black robes fluttering as he deftly sheathed his sword.

"Crack—" The lion's massive body seemed to be pierced by multicolored red light blades. After letting out a mournful cry, it collapsed into gray mist and vanished into nothingness.

Xia Feng, his hand on the dagger at his waist, slowly turned around.

At the site of Lion's Nightmare's death, a white card slowly fell and was caught by Ms. Mi.

I have to say, this six-eyed lion's acting skills are pretty good. It's sensible, so it deserves a bonus!
Beneath the spade mask, Xia Feng's lips curled into a faint smile.

He certainly didn't have the terrifying strength to instantly kill the Six-Eyed Nightmare; he had only comprehended the Six-Eyed Great Calamity of the Nightmare Domain!

But that's okay. He may lack the ability, but Lion's Nightmare has the ability to cooperate with him in his performance.

That's right. A few minutes ago, after Xia Feng noticed Ms. Mi's whereabouts, he sent the third Six-Eyed Nightmare, which he had captured along the way, to cause trouble for Ms. Mi.

There was no other way; he desperately needed to find a teammate, but he also needed to make sure that this teammate wouldn't think he was weak and would betray him at any time.

So, Xia Feng came up with this idea.

"There is no spiritual pressure fluctuation; it seems more like a relic of a god."

The ghost bride parted her red lips slightly, her voice soft and alluring, "Your Excellency has quite the methods."

Xia Feng didn't speak, but simply nodded, his dark eyes slightly narrowed. Unfortunately, the white wedding veil covered the woman's upper face, so her eyes were completely hidden.

Ms. Mi narrowed her eyes slightly, and she could not see the expression on the Spade Man's face either.

She continued softly, "So, what is your purpose in helping me?"

"This humble servant?" Xia Feng was taken aback; he hadn't heard such an ancient form of self-reference in a long time.

"I need a teammate to open up the Ashlands," Xia Feng said calmly and succinctly.

Ms. Mi smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I am too."

She then sighed helplessly, her soft voice tinged with annoyance, "Your Excellency doesn't know, but I just encountered that vulgar man named Zong Yue. I intended to form an alliance with him, but before we could even exchange a few words, he started yelling and threatening to kill me, behaving extremely barbarically. He even caused me to be seriously injured, forcing me to remain in this ominous fog."

Xia Feng: "."

6. You just blurted that out!
If I hadn't just seen that you and Zong Yue had already formed an alliance, I might have actually believed your lies!
Xia Feng thought to himself, while also remaining secretly wary. This strange woman was no ordinary person; she was quite cunning.

Teaming up with her is fine, but we should still be careful.

Hmm...that doesn't seem right either. I'm just an avatar right now, so there's no need to be too timid. As Xia Feng pondered this, he looked at the few remaining sporadic nightmare beasts around him.

Seeing this, Ms. Mi quickly dealt with the situation and then threw the white card in her hand at Xia Feng.

"Since you killed the Six-Eyed Nightmare, it should rightfully belong to you."

Xia Feng casually took it, glanced at it, and saw that it was a level 0 Ash Ground Exploration Card, not bad.

According to the rules, there is a chance to obtain Ember Stones or item cards by killing Nightmare Beasts.

But the chances are very low.

Ms. Mi killed many monsters along the way and only got one Ember Stone; that was all.

These days, even if you kill a Six-Eyed Nightmare, you're only lucky enough to get a Level 0 Detection Card.

Compared to exploring the Emberlands, killing monsters to accumulate Emberstones is clearly not cost-effective.

Xia Feng had just put away the investigation card when Ms. Mi suddenly asked, "Are you the Black King?"

"..." Xia Feng remained expressionless, slowly raising his spade mask, his voice carrying a hint of curiosity and confusion, "It seems you have a clue about the Black King?" The Ghost Bride nodded, softly saying, "However, this servant only knows the location of the [Black King Detection Card]."

Xia Feng: "!"

That's all? That's all my ass! Xia Feng was secretly relieved. Luckily, he had run into this guy, otherwise he would have been a major disaster sooner or later!
"Location? How did you know that?" the Spade asked, puzzled.

“This place is not safe to stay any longer, Mr. Spade. Let’s talk as we walk.”

The two quickly passed through the thick fog and completely left the dangerous foggy region.

The ghost bride seemed to have trusted Xia Feng, and she told him everything along the way.

"I was fortunate enough to open a level 1 Ashlands and obtained an item card - [Level 1 Random Information Card]".

"After using this card, you can specify a large area, such as an endless desert, and randomly generate one piece of relevant information for that area. The information may be very important or it may be outdated and useless information."

Furthermore, if you do not wish to use this card to obtain information, you can exchange it for 3 Ember Stones, rendering the card invalid.

Xia Feng: "!"

Damn, the existence of this kind of card is purely to make it harder for the Black King and the Red King!
"Through this card, I have obtained a piece of information—the location of the Black King's Exploration Card's Ashlands is in 'Boundless Desert, Northern Withered Forest'."

"Although the area of ​​the Northern Dead Forest is still quite large, it's just right that you have obtained a Level 0 Exploration Card. As long as you move quickly, it will be enough to scan and explore the Northern Dead Forest."

Ms. Mi turned her head to look at Xia Feng, the wedding veil covering her face fluttering in the wind and then falling back down. She smiled faintly, "Lord Spade, you should be willing to find the Black King Detective Card, right?"

"."

Okay, okay! You win!

Xia Feng finally understood why this woman was willing to team up with him; it turned out she wanted to use his level 0 Ash Ground Exploration Card to test his identity.

"There's no need to test my identity. Let's go directly to the Northern Dry Forest. My identity will be revealed then."

"You are right, it was I who was overthinking things."

All players had a general map of the Sumeru Realm, and the two quickly arrived at the Northern Dry Forest.

This is a withered birch forest spanning thousands of miles.

Even with the detection card, it wouldn't be easy to find the Black King's detection card here within an hour.

The two were suspended in mid-air.

Xia Feng looked at the ghost bride and handed over the white card directly: "My movement speed is not fast, so it might be more efficient for you to investigate."

In this situation, he could only entrust the search task to Ms. Mi, who was much faster than him, otherwise it would seem that he deliberately did not want to find the Black King Detective Card.

"It's good that you trust me, Your Excellency." The ghost bride smiled, her fiery red lips curving upwards.

Beneath the mask, Xia Feng's dark eyes narrowed slightly. He subconsciously wanted to turn around, but thankfully he managed to hold back.

Just now, as he was speaking, he saw through the Eye of the Forest, the Ten Sacred Bows, that a burly figure was hidden in the shadows on the western edge of the birch forest.

In the forest, no one can escape Xia Feng's spiritual senses, not even those in the Saint Realm.

That burly man was none other than Zong Yue, the reincarnation of the Asura King of the Just Church!

"They don't want to show themselves. These two scoundrels, are they trying to mess with me too?" Xia Feng cursed his bad luck inwardly, his cold mask silently gazing into the distance.

The ghost bride swept across the forest, no longer suppressing her power. Her speed was so fast that it was invisible, completely exceeding Xia Feng's nerve reaction limit.

Xia Feng seriously doubted that if the ghost bride suddenly turned around and attacked him, he might not be able to react in time.
