The dried female corpse grabbed Lin Yun’s thigh, and blood spilled out onto her claws. It was as if her claws were stained with concentrated sulfuric acid, creating a bubbling sound as she melted away. Soon, her entire right claw was like a melted ice sculpture, vanishing without a trace.
“This group of dried corpses is afraid of blood?” Lin Yun was overjoyed, but then he became depressed. Was he going to bleed himself over the dried corpses?
“No, they must be afraid of water. Otherwise, why are they living in this desert where there is no water? Also, they don’t have any moisture in their bodies.”
With that thought, Lin Yun took out the never-drying water bottle and poured water down.
“Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle…”
With the sound of gurgling water, the sandy ground in front of Lin Yun gradually became wet. Those dried corpses stopped in front of the moist sand, not daring to take another step forward. The dried green-haired corpse also did not move forward, and its green eyes seemed to flicker with fear.
Lin Yun was overjoyed. Indeed, it was a virtual mission. Even such a water bottle, which had an endless flow of water, could even exist.
“Young man, why have you come here and disturbed my sleep?”
A cold, gloomy voice suddenly appeared in Lin Yun’s head. Lin Yun saw a green light flash in the dried green-haired corpse’s eyes, apparently sending a voice transmission through its Spirit. That dried green-haired corpse had given birth to wisdom.
As Lin Yun deliberated on the tone of his voice, he replied using his Spirit, “I have no intention of offending you, noble existence. Since I was being chased by someone, I accidentally fell into your territory. I would be grateful if you could guide me the way out.”
Upon hearing Lin Yun’s sincere reply, the fierce light in the dried green-haired corpse’s eyes gradually disappeared. It suddenly turned around and disappeared into the long hallway. Those dried corpses also gradually lay down on the ground and fell into a deep sleep. After a long time, a spiritual fluctuation came.
“If you want to get out, pull open the door at the side.”
Pull open the door? Lin Yun’s heart trembled and quickly pulled the door.
“Creak…”
With a slight noise, the door that couldn’t be knocked down earlier was actually pulled open easily by him. Lin Yun felt speechless. It turned out that the door was to be pulled. No wonder it couldn’t be pushed open.
There was still a desert outside the door, with the three suns scorching the sand. Lin Yun looked back at the hallway. After a brief thought, he decided to move away from that place and head into the desert.
Lin Yun carried the baby girl and continued to walk in that vast desert, waiting for the seven days to end. When he was bored, he would look at the baby and wouldn’t feel lonely. Lin Yun tried to figure out what the mission said the Holy Maiden would be like.
After waiting for a long time, a female voice was finally heard from his side.
“Young man, give me the baby girl in your hands!”
Lin Yun was delighted and turned his head to look over. It was a fair-skinned young woman with long golden hair. Her exquisite figure was wearing a long white dress, and a shining cross hung in front of her chest, dressing her up in a pure, sexy manner. Her body emitted a slight white light, and her eyes were filled with infinite peace and love. It was as if she was a holy angel, who loved all things in the world.
As he looked into the woman’s eyes, Lin Yun suddenly felt peace in his heart, as if his entire mind had been baptized. He had the illusion that this woman was the Benevolent One, who had come to help him eliminate his sins and purify his heart.
“You’re the Holy Maiden?” Lin Yun asked happily.
The woman’s eyes were like a supreme God looking down on his subjects, and her voice seemed to have come from the distance.”I’m the Holy Virgin Mary. By the will of the Lord, I have come to the birthplace of evil to purify the budding sins.”
Lin Yun was so overjoyed that he was about to hand over the baby girl to her. The baby girl suddenly started to cry, as if she didn’t like the Holy Maiden very much.
The woman snorted coldly, stretched out her delicate hand, and said in a commanding tone, “Young man, give the seed of sin in your hand so that I can purify the evil.”
“Evil?” Lin Yun was stunned and couldn’t help but look at the baby girl in his arms. His heart trembled when he saw the strange red eyes of the baby girl. Could the evil thing the Holy Maiden was talking about be this baby girl?
A cross with white light appeared out of nowhere in the Holy Maiden’s hand. She held one end of the cross tightly and looked at Lin Yun calmly. “Give me the seed of evil! The Lord will forgive your sins.”
“What do you want to do?”
Upon seeing that cross with white light, Lin Yun was shocked. Did this Holy Maiden want to kill the baby girl? Lin Yun was a very compassionate person. After spending a few days with the baby girl, he had fallen in love with this cute infant.
However, if he didn’t give the baby girl to the Holy Maiden, wouldn’t he be unable to complete the mission?
Lin Yun took a second look at the baby girl in his arms. After seeing the baby girl’s adorable expression and her shaking her little hands, his eyes suddenly became calm. “She’s just a baby. How can you be so cruel to her?”
The Holy Maiden’s face remained the same, but she raised the cross with white light high in her hand and said coldly, “Sin must be nipped in the bud. Sinful people shall be purified together in the mercy of the Lord!”
As soon as she said that, the Holy Maiden had appeared before Lin Yun. The cross in her hand stabbed at the baby girl. Without giving Lin Yun any explanation at all, she struck at once.
She was fast! Simply too fast!
Before Lin Yun could see the Holy Maiden’s movements, the cross was already in front of him. In the next moment, it was about to stab this baby girl.
It was too late to dodge, so Lin Yun had to turn his body and use his shoulder to block the cross with white light. A slight pain instantly came from his shoulder. If the negative feelings of the digitization didn’t subside, he suspected that he would have passed out from the pain.
“You have taken real damage. HP -100. HP -100.”
With one strike, Lin Yun was only left with 15 HP. He quickly drank a mouthful of water but found that it didn’t work at all. It seemed that this Holy Maiden’s attack was able to prevent him from restoring his HP.
“People who have been bewitched by evil, be purified!” The Holy Maiden emitted holy white light around her body, which actually covered the sunlight.
“You were hit with the Holy Light. HP -10 every second. Your current HP is 5.
Warning: HP is too low.”
In a few seconds, Lin Yun’s HP was about to reach 0. He hadn’t expected this holy woman to attack without a reason and completely did not give him a chance to defend himself. What made him feel more helpless was that he was powerless against the Holy Maiden.
However, the white light suddenly disappeared.
Looking up to see, it was as if the imaginary shadow of the Holy Maiden before him was slowly distorting and disappearing. It was just like a stone had been thrown at the reflection on the water.
In the original direction of the Holy Maiden, a woman in black holding a dagger with a black light appeared. If the Holy Maiden was a holy, beautiful angel, then this woman would be a demon that tempted people to commit sins. She had sexy red lips, seductive eyes, and a black skin-tight garment that accentuated her figure. Lin Yun noticed that the woman’s eyes were also red, and her appearance was very similar to that of the baby girl.
Lin Yun suddenly realized that it seemed that this was the real Holy Maiden. It was so close. He had almost been tricked by the person pretending to be one just now. He quickly said, “King Locke told me to give this baby girl to you.”
This woman in black took the baby girl, and her lips revealed a trace of an imperceptible smile. Her eyes narrowed, and she said coldly, “You saved my daughter. I’m very grateful to you.”
It was clearly an ice-cold voice, but it was able to create ripples in Lin Yun’s heart. It was as if the words of the woman in black could stir up the deepest desires in his heart.
Lin Yun was shocked. Such a kind of spiritual induction seemed even more powerful than that fake Holy Maiden just now. This meant that the Spiritual Strength of the Holy Maiden in black was far higher than that person’s just now.
While Lin Yun was waiting for the prompt for mission completion, the woman in black suddenly smiled indifferently. “Nobody can know about my daughter’s secret. Therefore, please help me once more and go to hell.”
The woman in black suddenly appeared before Lin Yun. She raised her dagger and was about to slice Lin Yun’s neck. She didn’t even have the slightest hint of gratitude!
At that moment, the electronic voice for mission completion finally sounded and Lin Yun’s figure instantly disappeared. The dagger of the woman in black sliced through the air with its dazzling black light.
“Huh? Where did he go? He seemed to have vanished for a reason without a sign of spatial fluctuation.”
In the scorching desert, a woman in black, carrying a baby girl, undaunted by that harsh environment, was in a slight daze.
