After mastering the resurrection technique, they begged me to extend their lives.

Chapter 91 The Succubus's Tail Revealed

An Xiao educated Haila.

He smacked her round, perky buttocks and gave them a good beating.

Whether there will be a reward or not is unknown, but as for the punishment, it has been given first.

For most of the night, Hela lay on top of him, burying her face in her arms and whimpering.

Nivea, standing to the side, didn't understand why her moans were so rhythmic and melodious, as if she were enjoying them—

But she felt that Miss Hela had really gone too far this time.

If the master sets a precedent among the sisters, it will be difficult to manage them in the future, and they may even be easily drugged by them.

Such a thing is absolutely unacceptable.

[If the eaglets develop any bad intentions, as the group leader, I must stop them in time.]

They must be kept in check by their master.

"Yes, we'll confiscate the potions they acquired in the trade."

I will keep it safe for you.

Nivea made up her mind.

In the latter half of the night, nestled in An Xiao's arms, she was so nervous that her whole body felt stiff and she dared not move at all.

That's how fledgling eagles are.

The lack of experience in this area led to missed opportunities.

The restless night passed quickly.

The next morning, Princess Airi took the lead by jumping onto the bed and demonstrating "moaning service" to the women who were following behind her.

"Good morning, brother! The clouds are shining on your bottom, get up quickly!"

'

"A new wave of bones is gathering. Today you need to explore the surrounding area. Carol has already drawn a rough map of the surrounding terrain. As the team leader, you should lead everyone to begin the new day's mission."

Airi called out to the sleeping An Xiao with a serious expression, but her body naturally knelt on the bed.

Today, she wore a white silk dress that had been prepared in advance at Stardust Harbor, pure and flawless, beautiful and divine.

Seeing that An Xiao didn't move, she naturally pressed her smooth calves onto the mattress directly beneath him and slowly, almost imperceptibly, moved upwards.

He pressed his knee against his groin.

"!"

At this moment, Nivea, the harpy to An Xiao's left, had already gotten out of bed, because she dared not crave any more warmth that did not belong to her.

On the other hand, Hela, after being lectured in the first half of the night, stopped pretending in the second half and crawled into An Xiao's bed, and somehow took off his pajamas.

"I'll get up right now—"

Sensing the danger, An Xiao immediately stopped sleeping, removed Hela from her body, and pressed down on Airi's approaching face, politely refusing her good morning kiss.

"Brother, is it because I am not dignified enough?"

I should have more appropriate attire, like a palace maid, so that you can have a pleasant morning and accept my morning rituals, right?

"Good Morning Etiquette —"

An Xiao did not comment on this.

He simply got up, put on his robes, and accepted the new map that Airi handed him.

"Carol drew this overnight; she said she also wanted some reward."

"ah.

After thinking it over, An Xiao concluded that Carol, being a skeleton, was not suitable for being rewarded through sleep like the others.

After all, anyone who has tried it knows that sleeping with a skeleton in your arms or being held by a skeleton at night can be very uncomfortable, either to your hands or face.

Did she specify the details of the reward?

"have."

Airi calmly replied, "She said she wanted to have her bones touched."

59

"Upon hearing this, An Xiao hesitated and nodded.

"Let's talk about it after we get to the cemetery safely."

Anything not yet obtained is just an empty promise, so the promised reward must be fulfilled only after one has personally witnessed the "King's Treasury"—this is common sense among people in society.

Before long, An Xiao arrived at the command room on the fourth floor of the watchtower.

The Creators gathered together, preparing for a meeting.

Looking at the map, you can see the Dark Rift region. The nearest gathering place for level 15-20 monsters is the swamp to the northeast.

It is called Deep Black Bone Swamp.

The monsters inside are not just skeletons, but also various alien creatures, such as bone snakes, bone man-eating flowers, bone spirit archers, bone crocodile beasts, and other red-named creatures that fit the ecology of this place.

"They're all spirits of the dead; as long as they're dealt with carefully, it shouldn't be too difficult."

Time was precious, so An Xiao decided to take the team members who needed this experience to level up.

"My lord, no one needs a higher level than I do. I'm only level 7."

Carol volunteered, "And I can show you the way."

"Can."

Holding the experience orb, An Xiao then called out a few more people to step forward.

"Sino, Airi, Vita, Nivea, come with me to clear out the monsters in the vicinity."

Hela can stay here and guard the watchtower. Mr. Hogan can lead the skeletons to build a second watchtower and move supplies. The other two eaglets can keep watch on top, and the other seven can follow Xingmi to find a suitable planting site nearby.

"good!"

Once the order was given, everyone took on their assigned tasks and poured out of the bone watchtower.

With Carol joining the team, it's like unlocking all the information about the surrounding terrain and dispelling the fog of mystery that has yet to be explored.

As An Xiao walked and looked at the map, she noticed that the recommended exploration level for the area directly behind the "Black Dragon Maze" had jumped to LV50, which was completely different from the level of 10 or 20 levels next to it.

I couldn't help but wonder: "What is this area marked as restricted?"

"Oh, you must have heard of it, that's the Black Rain Great Tomb. It's fenced off because it rains there all the time, and even we monsters are quickly dissolved when we touch it. So without a solution, it's impossible to get in smoothly."

Carol said, "By the way, I think the entrance to the succubus dungeon is there."

"ah----"

An Xiao seemed to be deep in thought.

"Dungeon — Demon Race —"

"Yes. The daughters of the Succubus Queen Cersei used to roam this area, so it was the first place the heroes of Galatin went to conquer."

Carol shrugged. "Unfortunately, Black Rain is a natural barrier; anything that hasn't been cleansed by it will die instantly upon contact."

"What constitutes baptism?"

"Well—I don't know either."

It's rare for Carol to have a question she doesn't understand.

An Xiao pondered that since even the demons had blind spots in their knowledge, it meant that there were likely still undiscovered things in the dungeon.

If the issues regarding protection against black rain can be resolved, descending into the dungeon will be just around the corner.

"Understood, let's focus on what's in front of us first."

He put away the map and led his team to the swamp area to clear the land.

As the sunlight barely penetrated the mist of Endedes, it diffused to some place in the center.

:

:

A bizarre scene unfolded.

Within a radius of several kilometers, there seemed to be a dark cloud, raining down black raindrops at a fixed location.

Furthermore, the sunlight envelops this area, as if it has formed an independent space, unaffected by external environmental factors.

This is a cemetery.

In the center of the cemetery, a huge, jet-black meteorite pressed down on the entrance of an ancient stone platform covered with obscure magical patterns.

The meteorite was three zhang tall, its surface covered with intricate and intertwined dark runes and the exclusive magic patterns of the succubus race. Those patterns, as if alive, slowly rotated in the black rain, emanating a gurgling, mysterious pressure.

Zooming in, a figure can be seen standing in front of the sealed stone tablet.

Slender and graceful, she held a giant scythe three times her length in her arms, yet wore a nun's gown full of holes and mud.

"Why can't even my energy shatter this boulder?"

Katarina muttered to herself.

A puzzled expression spread across her beautiful face.

Strangely, even though she was radiating a terrifying force field, the black rain still caused a constant hissing sound, quickly burning a large hole in her magic shield.

With limited time, she disregarded everything else and immediately gathered half of her magic power into her right palm, then touched the boulder again.

She kept trying.

however.

With a whoosh.

A bright red light burst forth.

She was thrown backward by a rebounding force, her feet sliding a long way before she came to a stop amidst a rustling sound, and knelt on one knee in the graveyard covered with black, stubble-like grass.

At this moment, black blood was seeping from the corner of her mouth, and her pale right arm was covered with red spots from the shock. The tearing pain came from the depths of her soul, making it even more incomprehensible to her.

"The key is clearly the power of 'darkness,' and I have already mastered 'darkness.' Is there something else I haven't noticed?"

Katarina struggled to her feet, gritting her teeth as she stood up.

She can't delay any longer.

The black rain had almost completely depleted her energy; if she lingered here any longer, she would only meet the same fate as the owners of these empty tombstones.

Not even a corpse was left.

"hateful."

"Having lived in Galatia for so long, is it the scent of holy light that led the barrier to classify me as an outsider?"

"But I clearly did not receive baptism from the archbishop. I constantly remind myself of to whom my bloodline truly belongs."

"Why can't I just go home?"

Katarina's doubts deepened.

"Am I not doing enough?"

"How many souls must be absorbed to satisfy the purity of 'black'?"

"I've already tried my best."

"The souls of all those who prayed were melted down and transformed into dark power."

"Even so, it still won't work?"

Her speech became faster and faster, and her expression grew increasingly ferocious.

Under the black rain, she was excluded from the barrier.

A burning pain emanated from her entire body.

Her flesh had begun to show slight signs of melting, and her soul was gradually weakening.

If we stay any longer, it will only turn into a pool of black water.

""

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.

Looking at the entrance that was so close yet unreachable, his eyes were filled with despair and resentment.

She had to turn her head away.

but.

A solution always seems to come in desperate situations.

The instant he flashed out of the barrier.

As if struck by a sudden inspiration, Katarina suddenly recalled the enormous ship she had encountered during her voyage.

I had investigated from afar before, and the magical attributes possessed by a certain low-level creature inside seemed to be unexpectedly rare and abundant.

Similar to a spring of sweet water.

If I hadn't noticed that the magical necklace he was wearing seemed to be a relic of a high archmage, I would have already made my move then and tasted the flavor of his soul.

"His smell...it seems pretty 'dark' too."

Will he be accepted by the sealing stone?

Thinking, thinking.

Contemplating infinite possibilities.

Katarina's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "I've got it."

She pondered, "Since I can't get home smoothly..."

"Then let's find someone who can go home for me, and then force my way in the moment they open the door?"

""

"No matter who it is, once they come to Endedes to develop their careers, they will almost certainly go to 'Hakusou Street' to trade."

"Then I will wait for this suitable chosen one in the Desolate Soul Street." Alright.

"Um----

"And as a reward—if someone actually manages to get me in and come back to my hometown with me."

"Then, we should follow my family's customs—"

"To the person who successfully brought me back, they squeezed him dry, leaving him with nothing but their soul, in the way they most desired and longed for. Would that be considered a perfect reward for them?"

Katarina licked her red lips, unable to conceal the lewd look that shouldn't have been on a nun's face.
