The ghost mask merchant whispered the devil's words into Wei Pu Bi Lizard's ear at this time. The crystal that could make the dying Bi Lizard evolve three times in a row, from the second level to the third level, was undoubtedly a fatal temptation to Wei Pu Bi Lizard.
However, just when Wei Pu Green Lizard was about to become possessed, the majestic Great Forest Armored King Lizard suddenly fell to the ground with a bang. Its strong and sturdy body began to shrink at an extremely fast speed, and finally turned back into the appearance of a Green Scaled Flying Lizard... No, it even degenerated further and became a first-level Green Scaled Lizard!
This once plump and strong green-scaled flying lizard is now just a skinny body, as if it had been squeezed dry.
·
"Dead, dead?"
Wei Pu Bili immediately stepped forward to check the condition of the Green Scaled Flying Lizard, no, the Green Scaled Green Lizard, and the result was just as he saw. The Green Scaled Flying Lizard, which was about to die, was now completely dead.
"Hey, merchant, didn't you say you would bring it back to life?" Wei Pu Bi Xi turned and questioned the traveling merchant.
The traveling merchant shrugged and said to Weipu Bilishi calmly, "I later added that there will be some deviation from the true meaning of 'coming alive'. You must have missed it."
Wei Pu Bi Xi looked at the traveling merchant and felt that he had been fooled. He wanted to get angry, but the eerie and scary ghost mask made him give up the idea.
Wei Pu Bi Xi remembered that he wanted to run away at the beginning. How could he have the capital to challenge this unidentified traveling merchant?
Besides, although the Green-Scaled Flying Lizard did not survive, it was a real thing that it evolved into the fifth-level "Great Forest Armored King Lizard" in one breath. The other party could use such a terrifying prop with just a "casual" move. What right did Wei Pu Green Lizard have to yell at the other party?
"Oh...so that's it..."
Before he knew it, Weipu Bilishi's voice had become much softer.
Things had developed to this point, and Wei Pu Bi Xi was in a dilemma. He wondered whether he should leave or stay. If he wanted to leave, could he really get away?
After thinking about it, Wei Pu Bi Xi felt that since things had come to this point, he might as well continue. Moreover, since the other party showed him such an outrageous prop "for free", he must have some ulterior motive. He might as well take advantage of the situation and see what the purpose of this "traveling merchant" was.
·
"Then...if we use the crystal stone just now on a Green Scaled Lizard in normal physical condition, would it not die suddenly?" Wei Pu Green Lizard asked cautiously.
"Yes, you understand it correctly."
The traveling merchant nodded, then added a crucial note: "However, the strength boost only lasts for five minutes. After that, you'll degenerate back to level one, just like the Jade-Scaled Flying Lizard."
"Ah? It will still degenerate to the first level? This is too unprofitable?" Wei Pu Bi Xi blurted out.
"Haha, the price is indeed heavy, but how many Green Scaled Flying Lizards have the hope of evolving to the fifth level in this lifetime?"
The traveling merchant's question hit the nail on the head. The effect of the crystal stone allowing the monster to evolve three times in a row was truly worth the huge price.
Wei Pu Bi Xi was stumped by the traveling merchant's question, and when he was speechless, the traveling merchant went a step further and offered an even greater temptation.
"By the way, 'Illusionary Ice Crystal: Mirage' can also be used on humans, with the same side effects. So, buddy, why don't you buy one and try it out?"
"What?! Can it be used on humans?!"
Wei Pu Bi Xi was so shocked that he didn't know how many times he had been surprised in just half an hour!
"Haha, yes, and there's no need to gut it like before. Just swallow the ice crystals."
As the traveling merchant spoke, he produced another ice crystal similar to the one he had just seen from somewhere, and placed it in his palm to show Weipu Bili.
Wei Pu Bi Xi's eyes widened immediately. The value of this item was extremely tempting even if he didn't use it himself!
——(But… after using it, the third-level strength I had painstakingly cultivated was gone…)
——(And the origins of this traveling merchant are unknown, and the name of this ice crystal contains both illusion and mirage. Could there be some other problems?)
When Wei Pu Bi Xi thought of the hidden risks, he backed down again.
He thought it was better not to touch such weird things.
"Thank you for the introduction. I... forget it. You can sell it to someone else."
Wei Pu Bi Xi waved his hands and forced himself to turn around, hoping to escape the temptation of this evil creature by turning a blind eye.
However, history repeated itself once again. When the traveling merchant's voice came from behind, Wei Pu Bi Lizard's feet were once again nailed to the spot.
"Young man from a foreign country, when your loved ones are in danger, will you be a hero for five minutes, or a coward for the rest of your life?"
·
·
In the end, Wei Pu Bi Xi bought the "Illusionary Ice Crystal Mirage". The selling price of two gold coins (equivalent to the purchasing power of 20,000 RMB) was actually insignificant compared to the cost after using it.
However, if Wei Pu Bi Xi had not been traveling on a mission, he would not have been able to carry such a huge sum of money as two gold coins on him at all times. Was it really just a coincidence that this traveling merchant wearing a ghost mask appeared at the right time and place?
On the way back to reunite with his mentors, Wei Pu Bi Xi thought about the whole thing again and felt that he was being set up... Maybe even the disaster horned viper was related to the traveling merchant.
——(Damn it…did I buy a fake item with two gold coins?)
Wei Pu Bi Xi looked at the strange ice crystal in his hand and fell into deep thought.

9.18 - Backyard Fire Project
In the desert, an unknown man wearing a ghost mask was tossing two gold coins back and forth in a happy mood.
He was not happy about "earning" the two gold coins, but was proud of his excellent performance just now.
The true identity of the man in the ghost mask is the Lord of Eternal Winter, the military strategist of the Hell Abyss Empire. The only ones who know the truth beneath his mask are you, the serious and wise ones who are reading this line of words.
In order to protect his identity, the Lord of Eternal Winter rarely lets anyone see his true face beneath the mask, not even his trusted subordinates, the Ghosts of Heaven and Earth.
Now, his protection of his identity has played an unexpected role. If it weren't for this layer of protection, Tiangui, Digui and others would definitely have known that the Lord of Eternal Winter and Banning are actually the same person in two parallel worlds. This may have immeasurable consequences for the Lord of Eternal Winter.
After all, although the Lord of Eternal Winter is famous and holds a position second only to the emperor in the Hell Abyss Empire, in the Hell Abyss Empire, apart from the "One and Only Demon Lord" who is truly irreplaceable, no one else is indispensable.
Behind the countless superficial obedience, there are countless demons who want to replace the Lord of Eternal Winter.
——(It really makes people look forward to it. I wonder when this young master of the Green Lizard Family will show off his heroic skills?)
The Lord of Eternal Winter has placed a lot of hope on Whipple Green Lizard. According to the information provided by the Ghosts and Demons, this man is trapped in love, is a potential rival of Banning, and is determined to capture Banning.
Unfortunately, the young master of the Green Lizard family was of average strength and could not be a match for Banning, so the Lord of Eternal Winter deliberately staged the drama just now to give him the "Illusionary Ice Crystal Mirage".
The treacherous Lord of Eternal Winter would never tell the chess piece Wei Pu Bi Xi about the true effect of the "Illusionary Ice Crystal·Mirage", because if he told the truth, it would greatly reduce Wei Pu Bi Xi's willingness to use the crystal.
However, he didn't lie, he just didn't describe all the effects.
The true effect of "Illusionary Ice Crystal·Mirage" is that after swallowing the crystal in any form into the user's body, it will allow the user to increase their strength to the fifth level in a short period of time. If the user is a monster, it will also cause it to evolve. If the user's strength has reached the fifth level or above, these "positive effects" will not be triggered.
Five minutes after the effect of "Illusionary Ice Crystal·Mirage" is activated, regardless of whether the "positive effect" is triggered, it will enter the "negative effect" settlement stage. This negative effect will not only reset the user's strength to the first level, but also absorb all of the user's vitality. After the strength reset is completed, it will detonate the user's body, causing a huge explosion.
The Green-Scaled Flying Lizard was already on the verge of death, with almost zero vitality, so it didn't explode. However, if someone with relatively healthy vitality used "Illusionary Ice Crystal·Mirage", the power of the explosion would be quite astonishing - at least enough to kill "Current Banning" at close range.
However, the real purpose of the Lord of Eternal Winter giving the "Illusionary Ice Crystal·Mirage" to Whipple Green Lizard was not to kill Banning. He wanted to use Whipple Green Lizard to slow down Banning's growth progress and verify whether Banning had the ability to reverse death.
·
It was mentioned before that the Lord of Eternal Winter intended to "borrow" the church's divine identification crystal to verify Banning's ability. As a very cunning person, the Lord of Eternal Winter usually takes a two-pronged approach, or even multiple approaches.
"Illusionary Ice Crystal·Mirage" is a crystal invented by the Lord of Eternal Winter himself. Its true effect is only known to the Lord of Eternal Winter himself, except for those who have died.
There are only two ways for Banning to avoid Weipu Bilishi's suicide bomb attack. One is to kill Weipu Bilishi within five minutes and run away. The other is to reduce Weipu Bilishi's magic power and endurance to zero at the same time, so as to remove the detonation effect of "Illusionary Ice Crystal Mirage".
Depending on how Banning handles Whipple Green Lizard next, the Lord of Eternal Winter will be able to obtain information that can be used to make a judgment.
If Banning had known the operating rules of the "Illusionary Ice Crystal Mirage", then even if the Lord of Eternal Winter had not obtained the god-level identification crystal, he would have been able to conclude that Banning possessed the ability to reverse death.
It's impossible to understand the secret of "Illusionary Ice Crystal·Mirage" unless you have been killed by it once.
In addition, in order to maximize efficiency, the Lord of Eternal Winter not only has to use the chess piece of Wei Pu·Bi Lizard, but also has to distribute "Illusionary Ice Crystal·Mirage" to those women who have ambiguous relationships with Banning.
According to the intelligence currently gathered by the Heavenly Ghosts and Earthly Ghosts, the women that the Lord of Eternal Winter intends to exploit are:
1. Wei'er, a girl from Ella Village, is currently being taken by "Endless Abyss - Mishasha" to the headquarters of the Snake Shadow Society, making it very easy for the Lord of Eternal Winter to approach;
2. The daughter of the Feiqi family, Viviana Feiqi, known as the "Silver Queen Bee", is currently on her way back to the Feiqi family's capital, Yanji City.
3. Emilia, a fox girl who once worked at the Sunny Town Mission Union branch, is now missing.
4. The whereabouts of Heloise, the tiger girl who betrayed the Snake Shadow Society, are also unknown;
5. Vanessa Snow Deer, the young lady exchanged from the Snow Deer family to the Green Lizard family, was last seen outside the werewolf territory.
6. The chief court magician of the Kingdom of West, Ice Star Shirley, who had severed ties with the Snow Deer family, was last seen outside the werewolf territory, just like Vanessa Snow Deer.
7. Adela Okami, the 27th daughter of the Wolf King, has recently been living in the werewolf royal territory.
In addition to the women mentioned above, the caravans that travel around Sunny Town also have a close connection with Banning, especially the old lady Cassie and the little rabbit girl Tochini.
Grandma Cassie once worked as a spy for the Earth Ghost for a period of time, but unfortunately she defected later. The Earth Ghost sent people to hunt her down, but no results have been reported back yet. As for the caravan itself, the Lord of Eternal Winter can approach it at any time.
—(From the nearly seventy-year-old grandmother to the eight-year-old bunny girl, Banning, Banning... you are truly full of evil...)
If the Heavenly Ghost and Earthly Ghost had not brought conclusive information, the Lord of Eternal Winter would not have believed that he would be such a playboy in the parallel world.
If we calculate based on the day Banning officially entered the Prison Star World on May 5, this guy would harm a woman every 5 days on average, which is simply a heinous crime.
However, such an exaggerated number is actually a good thing for the Lord of Eternal Winter. Since he wants to set Banning's backyard on fire, the more "firewood" in the backyard, the better.
——(Okay, let me see who should I send the "gift" to first...)
The Lord of Eternal Winter began to seriously plan his next move. At this moment, a black-feathered vulture landed from the sky and knelt on one knee in front of him.
"Lord Lord of Eternal Winter, I'm sorry to disturb you so suddenly. I have urgent intelligence about the war on the front line to submit to you for review." The Black-Feathered Vulture said this in the demon language.
9.19 - Cat Patrol
The sudden visit of the Sky Ghost disrupted the Lord of Eternal Winter's originally high spirits.
However, the "frontline war" is of vital importance to the Hell Abyss Empire, and the Lord of Eternal Winter is now temporarily away from his post, so he has no reason to be dissatisfied with this.
"okay, I get it."
The Lord of Eternal Winter nodded, then waved his hand casually, and the black-feathered vulture was suddenly ripped open and died on the spot.
Then, under the control of the Lord of Eternal Winter, a tightly sealed letter tube floated up from the belly of the Black-Feathered Vulture. After it was opened, a roll of parchment was revealed inside.
In order to ensure the security of transmitting military intelligence, the Lord of Eternal Winter and the intelligence department have always used this method to transmit messages, instead of tying the mailbox to the feet of the steel-feathered owl like humans, so that the messenger can be seen at a glance.
Afterwards, the Lord of Eternal Winter opened the parchment and reviewed its contents. The letter stated that the Human Alliance's Three Savior Knights had suddenly assembled in the Mirmis Valley, breaking through the combined positions of the Hell Abyss Empire's Third and Fourth Armies. The Lord of Eternal Winter was instructed to return quickly to discuss countermeasures.
After reading this, the Lord of Eternal Winter frowned even deeper than the Mirmis Canyon.
According to his prediction, the Human Alliance should not have launched such a radical attack at this point in time. Could it be that something big happened within the Human Alliance that he was not aware of?
——(If we only break through the positions of the third and fourth divisions, then there won't be a big problem for now. With the One and Only Demon God here, the Three Imperial Knights will definitely not dare to advance any further. However...)
The Lord of Eternal Winter paced back and forth in the desert. It was his habit to walk back and forth when thinking about problems.
What he was worried about now was that the Human Alliance's unexpected actions might cause some chain reactions that he had not calculated, and the strategy he left for the Sovereign Demon Lord did not cover countermeasures for such a situation.
In the worst case scenario, all the hard work the Lord of Eternal Winter had done since arriving in the Prison Star World might be destroyed. Thinking of this, the Lord of Eternal Winter knew that he really had to go back.
——(Benning...was this also part of your calculations...?)
——(No, if he knew through Death Rewind that I would infiltrate the Human Alliance and that I had the ability to lure the Three Royal Knights into action, how could he not devise a plan to surround and kill me here? He would never miss such a golden opportunity.)
The Lord of Eternal Winter quickly denied his pessimistic guess. He knew in his heart that this negative thought was only because the excellent plan he had just formulated was disrupted.
Now, the Lord of Eternal Winter has no choice but to return to the Hell Abyss Empire immediately, but he will not go back so easily.
He selected five suitable candidates from among the "firewood" in Banning's backyard, so that he could deliver the "Illusionary Ice Crystal Mirage" to them on his way back to the Hell Abyss Empire.
The names of these five "lucky" girls are: Wei'er, Viviana, Emilia, Vanessa and Shirley.
In this way, together with the previous Wei Pu Bi Xi, the Lord of Eternal Winter can arrange a total of six human bombs for Banning.
The Lord of Eternal Winter believes that in the foreseeable future, there are only two possible outcomes.
Either Banning dies, or the Lord of Eternal Winter obtains a lot of key information himself, and then uses this information to actually kill Banning, so no matter what the final result is, the Lord of Eternal Winter will make a profit.

The monster died, the killer left, and the desert, which was once noisy and noisy due to the smoke and dust, has now returned to silence and desolation.
