"Landifei!"
Li Ran sat on the bed and stared in disbelief at the white light floating in front of the bed.
The ghost looks like Lan Defi.
"Am I dreaming?"
He was not sure whether he was dreaming or not. His sleep was always very deep. Once he fell asleep, he would sleep until dawn. Nothing would wake him up.
That's why Li Ran felt like he was dreaming.
"It's not a dream, I used the dream card, and the time is only one minute." Lan Defi said.
Li Ran frowned, recalling the sight of Lan Defei when he was sent back to the reincarnation space from the Borderlands. That might not be a dream. He might have really summoned Lan Defei back with the [Death Dream] violin.
"I'm being held hostage. They asked you by name to come, otherwise I will never be able to get out of here."
"I feel like I'm inside a huge sculpture. The inside of the sculpture is hollow, and outside there are the sounds of monks chanting sutras and wooden fish tapping."
"I think I'm inside a Buddha statue in a temple."
"There was a deafening roar outside the temple, like the roar of some giant beast. The monks in the temple seemed to be driving away those giant beasts."
At this point, Lan Daifei paused and whispered in a hesitant voice: "It doesn't matter if you don't come, this may be my life."
"Li Ran, thank you for resurrecting me again. I hope it didn't cause you much trouble this time."
As soon as the words fell, Li Ran woke up suddenly.
"Is it a dream?"
He stared at the sight of Lan Defei's soul in front of him.
Li Ran's head was covered in cold sweat.
"It was Lan Defei who gave me the dream card." Li Ran remembered the dream card that Lan Defei said.
In other words, the dream just now was caused by Lan Defei using a special card to entrust the dream to him.
"Lan Defei was kidnapped and trapped inside the Buddha statue in the temple. There were roars of giant beasts outside. Her captor wanted me to go there by name?"
Li Ran recalled the dream he just had, and could probably only remember these details.
"If I don't go, will Landifei be trapped in the Buddha statue forever?"
"Wait a minute, it's a temple and it's a giant beast. How come it looks so much like the copy of me that will die?"
Li Ran seemed to realize something all of a sudden.
Suddenly a chill shot from the tailbone to the sky.
"Fuck! Lan Defi is also in that black copy of Ten Thousand Tribulations!"
Thinking of this, Li Ran suddenly woke up.
"Using Lan Daifei as a threat to make me go to the Black Tribulation Dungeon?"
"Am I a fool, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I choose to go there?"
"Obviously, that's not my character."
Moreover, Li Ran believed that his friendship with Lan Defei was not enough to make him go through the mountains of swords and the sea of fire.
But Li Ran was curious about who could be the person holding Lan Defei hostage?
Why do you have to go by yourself by name?
Li Ran suspected three people.
Green Hidden Dragon, Tang Snake, and Ghost Emperor!
The probability of the Green Hidden Dragon is higher.
Because he escaped from the Borderless Land, he was probably hiding somewhere at the time. After he resurrected Lan Defi, he held her hostage.
This is just Li Ran's conjecture.
No one knows whether this is the case, including Lan Daifei herself, who doesn’t know who held her hostage.
With Tang She's character, she doesn't seem to be someone who would do such dirty tricks.
As for the Ghost Emperor...
Li Ran just vaguely felt that the Ghost Emperor was controlling everything behind the scenes, and his purpose was also to win the Heart of Chaos.
It is not impossible that the higher the status, the greater the ambition.
Although he had no evidence, some intuition made him feel that the Ghost Emperor was also coveting him.
It could be said that he is suffering from paranoia of being persecuted, but in this strange world, he has to keep such an attitude in mind.
Apart from that, he really couldn't think of anyone who would hold Lan Defi hostage to threaten him.
"Beep...beep..."
At this time, Li Ran's cell phone rang.
It was Zhao Yingzhi's call.
When he picked up the phone, his guess was correct.
Lan Defei also entrusted her dream to Zhao Yingzhi.
The content of the dream was exactly the same as his.
"Don't you think there's something strange? It feels very fake. Maybe the person who led this matter didn't expect that we would be in the same world." Zhao Yingzhi said.
As a pair, the two immediately discovered the flaw in Landefito's dream.
This shows that this dream is sent in "mass".
In her dream, Lan Daifei told everyone that the person who held her hostage wanted him to come by name.
Isn't this similar to mass messaging?
"It's really weird. I don't know if anyone else has received it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ran's plane communication card rang.
"Commander, I just dreamed..."
"Landifei."
When Sloan heard this, he couldn't believe it and said: "Commander, could it be that you also..."
"Yes." Li Ran said.
In this way, it is even more certain that Lan Defei's dream was sent in bulk.
"Based on what I know about Lan Defei, she would not send out such a distress signal even if she died. She is a proud woman at heart." Zhao Yingzhi said.
Zhao Yingzhi once experienced a doomsday zombie survival instance with Lan Daifei, and the two obviously understood each other better.
These words awakened Li Ran.
Someone is making a fuss about Lan Defi's soul.
This also means that things are very bad for Lundifei.
Resurrected and held hostage.
There is no resurrection, the soul is used.
Both are possible.
"What is the meaning of his doing this? Is it just to lead us into the copy where they set a trap?" Zhao Yingzhi asked.
Li Ran couldn't figure it out, but he wouldn't be led around.
What's more, we now know that this is a decoy dream.
But he was a little uneasy.
"Is my next copy going to be the black copy of Myriad Tribulations?" Li Ran thought to himself.
Although having the Dark World Navigation Chart gives you the right to enter the rules world independently, entering what kind of rules world and what level of rules world is actually similar to opening a blind box.
Therefore, he is not sure that the next copy will be a black copy of Myriad Tribulations.
But before entering the next instance, he still had a lot to do.
"Ignore it for now. If we don't go, it's them who should be worried." Li Ran said to Zhao Yingzhi.
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Li Ran went back to sleep.
I slept until noon.
After washing up casually, Li Ran took out the "Happy Home Resident Certificate" and returned to Happy Home.
The days when someone cooks and someone else cooks are simply not so wonderful.
"I know you have to sleep until noon before getting up. You ate so much mutton yesterday and your whole body is smelly." Su Bingyao said in a feigned disgust as soon as she entered the door.
"Is it that exaggerated? That's why I asked you to come last night, but you think I stink?" Li Ran said.
"Otherwise." Su Bingyao put on an apron and brought a pot of porridge to the table with a beautiful smile.
Li Ran couldn't help but hugged her slender waist from behind, and whispered in her ear: "I don't want to eat, I want to eat you."
Su Bingyao's face suddenly turned red to her ears, and she said coquettishly: "I specially prepared sweet potato porridge for you to calm your fire."
"Dad, you're back."
Outside the door, Li Ziyang rushed to Li Ran with a big schoolbag on his back.
"Son, you seem to have grown taller again."
"Yes? Why don't I think so?"
"You two go wash your hands quickly and get ready to eat."
"Dad, come with me."
During the meal, Li Ran discovered that Li Ziyang's magic power had increased a lot.
Compared to yesterday's battle with Tang Snake, his deception power actually increased by a thousand.
Now it has reached 10,000 tricks.
It is equivalent to the astonishing speed of growing a thousand sly powers in one day.
If Li Ziyang were allowed to grow up, his strength would be unimaginable.
And he can automatically advance to the next level, which is the scary thing.
Fortunately, he is his obedient son.
"Son, you have grown up. You have to learn to do housework. You will take care of the dishes and chopsticks today." Li Ran said.
"Ah, so many." Li Ziyang said reluctantly.
"If you do your homework well today, dad will buy you your favorite toy next time he comes back." Li Ran said.
"Really? I'm going now." Li Ziyang's eyes gleamed when he heard there was a toy.
"Wash slowly, don't rush, you have to wash it thoroughly. Mom and I will take a lunch break first."
"Okay, Dad."
Go back to the bedroom, close the door, and lock it.
"There's only half an hour left, hurry up." Li Ran hugged Su Bingyao and threw herself on the bed.
"I smell like oil smoke."
"It tastes delicious because it's full of flavor and color." Li Ran buried his head in eating, causing Su Bingyao's cheeks to turn red and she chuckled.
"Then I want to eat too." Su Bingyao got on her horse, looking like a queen.
Li Ran smiled slightly and said: "Then hurry up."
…
…
After a brief moment of tenderness, Li Ran left the [Tree Hole Safe House] to Li Ziyang as a reward for washing the dishes.
This is a fine prop that has not been used for a long time. It happens to be Children's Day again, so this prop would be a perfect gift for Li Ziyang.
Return to the second-floor balcony of the large villa in the real world.
Li Ran took out a shriveled severed hand from the storage space.
He held the severed hand and looked at it for a while, then threw it on the ground.
"Fengtianzhi..."
Li Ran's body spurted out flames soaring into the sky, intending to use a big move to burn his severed hand.
"I can't do it, I can't do it!"
Suddenly, the broken hand jumped up, crawling around on the ground with five fingers in a hurry like an ant on a hot pot.
Possessed by flames, Li Ran looked down at the panicked severed hands on the ground like a terrifying fire god.
Although the broken hand had no eyes or mouth, it made a lewd and frightened voice, and the voice sounded exactly like Hua Lao.
"Why can't I do it? If I kill you, I can avoid future troubles forever!" Li Ran had no expression on his face. He turned his right hand and a ball of angry flames burned in his palm.
As long as he throws the angry flames in his hand to the ground, Hua Lao's left hand will be burned to ashes.
There are no attributes about it. How would ordinary people pick this thing up? Chitong also picked up the severed hand by some strange combination of circumstances.
If Li Ran hadn't taken one more look with his golden finger, Hua Lao might have escaped.
Although Hua Laiao was killed by Yaonie at the gate of hell and seemed physically dead, he actually attached his soul to a severed hand in an attempt to create the illusion that he was dead.
Who would have thought that someone would have a hobby of collecting severed hands?
"I have a strong will to die, but I still want to live." Broken Hand said as he lay on the ground trembling.
"Give me a reason not to kill you." Li Ran said as high as a demon.
Hearing this, the severed hand trembled even more violently. Although it looked like a severed hand, it could be seen at a glance that he was trying to figure out something in a hurry, which was very funny.
"You are very close to the Hundred Thousand Force. Regarding the Realm Master, I can give you a guide to avoid pitfalls." Hua Laiao said fearfully with his left hand.
"I have a chaotic heart and need you to avoid pitfalls for me?" Li Ran said disdainfully.
"This, this, this..." Broken Hand was so anxious that his hands were sweating profusely, and his five fingers were all twisted.
"I am the leader of the monsters on Beiyuan Island. I can command all monsters with just one order. I can be your right-hand man." Hua Laiao said with his left hand.
"You're talking about the ring finger, you need to return to Beiyuan Island before you can use it." Li Ran said indifferently, gradually losing his patience.
Hua Lao's left hand was even more panicked. He didn't expect that nothing could escape the eyes of the Chaos Heart.
"It seems that you have no use value, so die." Li Ran's face was as frosty as a murderous intent shot out of his eyes.
The wrathful flames on his body had reached its peak, and a divine flame bird looked down behind him.
Huadian knew that Li Ran was serious. His skill was not a small skill, but the epic skill Burning Wrath.
If this skill falls on his only severed hand, his soul will be gone.
"Wait... wait, I have something to say." Hua Laiao raised an index finger on his left hand and said cautiously.
Li Ran put on a dismissive attitude and waited for Hua Lao to continue.
"Sealing Lord, you need to fuse the soul. Heart of Chaos, you must not have thought about what kind of soul to fuse." Hua Laiao said with his left hand.
"Can't I just randomly pick one out of my own skill system?"
Li Ran thought Hua Laiao would reveal some big secret today, but he was disappointed, and the flames in his palms became even more intense.
"Don't you want to be rated SSS?" Hua Piao asked with his left hand.
Li Ran raised his eyebrows and suddenly became interested: "Rating SSS?"
"Yes, when the realm master fuses the soul, he will have the soul form. The third form of me and the third form of Tang She are both in the form of soul. As powerful as the overlord of the dark sea like Tang Snake, the soul rating is only SS level, but Just imagine how terrifying the spirit of SSS is."
"The reason why the Ghost Emperor is strong is that in addition to his talent for immortality, he also possesses a powerful soul. Only then can he be proud of the entire Dark Sea Northern Territory." Hua Laiao said with his left hand.
"It turns out that the Ghost Emperor's talent is immortality!" Li Ran said in shock.
When he was in the Palace of Ghosts and Gods, the ancient black turtle once told him that the immortal body, the blood of gods and demons, the heart of chaos, and the ancient soul were the strongest talents at the top of the talent pyramid.
Anyone who has one of these talents is the Dark Sea Owl.
"If you can find a powerful soul and the heart of chaos, you will not be lower than the SSS level when the realm master is rated." Hua Piao said.
Li Ran's eyes narrowed and he asked: "Is there a more powerful existence above SSS?"
"The scope of the SSS level is extremely wide and cannot be defined. The Ghost Emperor is very strong, but more powerful than him is Lilith of the Jialan Sea. In this level range, there are also the Six Paths Immortal of Penglai Immortal Island, the Dead Sea Demon Lord, and the Nine-Headed Prime Minister. Liu and others, including the legendary four sacred beasts Suzaku, Qinglong, White Tiger, and Xuanwu, are also in the SSS range, and their strength cannot be defined."
"But it is said that there is a super-SSS level above the SSS level. The existence of this level is beyond our ability to guess." Hua Piao said.
Li Ran became interested instantly. He stared at Hua Laiao and asked, "What level is the Dark Sea Patroller?"
"SSS class, they are the messengers of order in the dark world. No one knows their true strength, but it is rumored that the strength of the Dark Sea Patrollers is as strong as the Ghost Emperor." Hua Laiao said.
"Listening to what you said, why do you think the Ghost Emperor is so weak?" Li Ran said puzzled.
"Have you ever seen a real tycoon who needs to post hero posts widely when he ascends the throne?" Hua Piao said.
Li Ran frowned slightly when he heard this, and heard that the realm masters who came to the Ghost and God Palace in Luofeng Mountain all came with flowers of welcome in their hands.
The ancient mysterious turtle once said that the flower of invitation was sent out by the Ghost Emperor, and only those who received the flower of invitation could reach the Palace of Ghosts and Gods.
"Isn't it said that he is in charge of the life and death of hundreds of millions of creatures in the Northern Territory?"
"Ten emperors, one Yama and one Ksitigarbha. The ten emperors are replaced every three thousand years. This is the rule of the Netherworld. If you include those ghost emperors who have been replaced, the level of ghost emperor in Luofeng Mountain is nothing at all." Hua Laiao said.
Li Ran frowned slightly, according to what Hua Piao said.
Isn’t it that we have reached the level where SS are everywhere and there are as many SS as dogs?
Don't be so exaggerated!
"The dark world is far bigger than you can imagine. Even the world lord is just a worm there!"
"The rating of the Sealed Master takes into consideration many aspects, including comprehensive strength rating, past clearance dungeon rating, soul fusion rating, growth rating and many other aspects. Finally, the rating is defined. The higher the rating, the greater your future achievements will be. The worm of the sea is still the dragon of the dark sea.”
"I'm just saying all this because I want to survive. If you want to become SSS, only I can help you." Hua Piao said seriously.
"Sealed Realm Master becomes SSS level?" Li Ran whispered.
If you become an SSS-level world master, you will become the overlord of the dark world, have your own rule world, your own region, and even a palace of ghosts and gods similar to the Ghost Emperor!
To be honest, Hua Lao's words were very tempting to him.
"So you want to take me to find the soul?" Li Ran asked, knowing what Hua Laiao meant in the end.
"During the time when I was sealing the world and rating, I was searching around for the available Unclaimed Realm. By chance, I arrived at the western continent of the Sea of Darkness. It was an area full of various races, including gods, angels, immortals, ferocious beasts, Giant dragons and divine dragons form their own rules.”
"I once broke into an area with toothed cliffs like peaks and bladed rocks like forests. There were bones everywhere, the bones of giant creatures were everywhere, and it was filled with the terrifying aura of death."
"There are five world owners who entered this rule world with me. They all wanted to take over this wild and ownerless world as their own, but in the end something happened that I will never forget."
"We all underestimated that rule world. There are extremely terrifying and powerful creatures above the clouds and at the bottom of the abyss. They attacked us in groups and beat the five world masters to flee."
"The five realm masters suffered heavy casualties in that battle. I hid in the deep cold pool and survived by luck."
"I'm covered in wounds, hungry, cold, and dare not show any breath. I can only avoid the enemy's pursuit above my head by constantly diving to the bottom of the cold pool."
"Under the deep pool, it was turbid and dark. In the darkness, I saw a huge creature chained to a pillar. There were nine pillars around it, forming a huge sealing array. I don't know who sealed it there."
"Just when I was about to get closer, the huge creature on the pillar opened its eyes!"
"Coming here with just one glance, my soul is in turmoil and my mind is agitated!"
"At that moment, I was so scared that I had only one word in my mind - escape!"
"If I hadn't escaped quickly enough, I would have died in Hantan. After that, I was able to survive by escaping from the rule world."
It can be seen that Hua Laiao was very frightened when recalling the experience, and his entire severed hand was shaking violently.
Li Ran couldn't help but asked curiously: "What is the Masterless World that you remember so vividly?"
Huadian's left hand trembled violently, and his hand visibly stiffened, and then he slowly said: "Wan Longyuan!"
