Purgatory Artist-Chapter 246: Bond!

It began to rain.

The world became murky.

A sharp neigh was heard, followed by the sound of carriages crashing into each other and the screams of the crowd.

"Sir, another horse died from running"

"Did you forget to cast a spell on it?"

"No, I've already used it twice"

"I'll go take a look!"

Wind Demon Lorenzo personally walked to the dead horse on the side of the road to take a look.

It was real. freewebnoveℓ.com

The horse had already died from running.

Looking at the entire group, everyone was also exhausted.

He stood up and loudly declared: "There's only 5 miles left until we reach Bluewater Forest Lake, we can rest there for a bit"

Everyone finally regained their spirits and replied in unison:

"Yes, sir"

Suddenly, a sharp alarm was heard from the front.

Lorenzo's expression changed as he shouted:

"Alert!"

He took the lead and flew to the front of the group, throwing out a Card.

Boom — — -

A strong gust of wind blew a few human-shaped insects into the air.

The long-range Professionists immediately launched their attacks.

Liu Ping also drew his bow and shot a few arrows at one of the insects.

An invisible fluctuation appeared on the insect's body, causing the arrows to deviate from their course while still in the air, brushing past the insect's body without hitting it.

"— — -It's even stronger than before"

Liu Ping was surprised.

He looked at the insect and saw a line of text appearing on top of its head:

[Graveyard Insect, level 20]

Level 20.

This wasn't something a normal Professionist could handle.

Liu Ping looked carefully, only to see that most of the attacks in the air were ineffective.

"These insects have already escaped from the prison ..."

He leaned to one side of the carriage and muttered.

The Forest Banshee's voice came:

"I can sense that the world's balance has been broken, very soon, even more insects will sweep across the world"

Liu Ping went silent.

That's right, there was an endless amount of corpse worms in that huge prison room.

As for the balance — — -

The three of them with terrifying strength had already escaped from the seal, from that moment onwards, the balance had already been broken.

I wonder how much longer this world can last ...

I need to quickly collect Sequence Core Cards, but the Forest Banshee can only sense them when she's close to them.

Liu Ping's gaze fell onto the Heroic Spirit UI.

— — -Three Points Upgrade Method, Card Collection, Lord of Heroic Spirits.

These were the UI's three abilities.

The line of text remained unmoving in the void of space:

[You can now adjust the heroic spirit interface again.]

"Can you add another option?" Liu Ping asked.

[You don't have enough Core Cards to add new options, but you can strengthen existing functions or replace an option]

Liu Ping looked at it for a few seconds and suddenly said,

"Yana."

"I'm here," Yana said.

"You are my servant. You can help me collect all kinds of cards, right?" Liu Ping asked.

"Of course." Yana said simply.

Liu Ping nodded silently and looked at the 'Card Collection' tab on the heroic spirit's operation interface.

When Yana was sealed in the Land of Exile, he had no choice but to choose this ability.

Now that Yana had returned to him, then —

He could totally give up on this ability and choose the ability that could help him find the core card.

With that thought in mind, Liu Ping said,

"Give up the option of collecting cards. Please provide me with a new function."

[Are you sure you want to change?]

"Yes."

On the interface, the card collecting icon became blank, and then it became a question mark.

A form appeared in front of Liu Ping.

[May I know why you deleted this function?]

Below it were all kinds of options.

"Can I not fill it in? It looks very troublesome."

Liu Ping said.

[Filling in your feedback will help this operation interface to improve the experience]

"Alright."

Liu Ping sighed. He put a tick on the option of 'too much nonsense' and continued reading.

After a while.

He finally finished filling in the form.

[Do you have any conditions about the new function?]

"— I want it to help me find the core card" Liu Ping said.

In the void, three brand new function icons gradually appeared.

[The following three functions all meet your requirements. Please choose one of them to form a new heroic spirit operation interface]

At this moment, the crowd exclaimed.

Liu Ping looked at the sky and saw that all the long-range attacks could not do anything to those bugs.

Lorenzo the Wind Demon had to attack with all his might.

He threw out Cards one after another, protecting the merchant group while attacking at the same time.

Liu Ping looked at him silently, then at the group.

— There is really only one card user.

This can't go on.

Seems like I have to help him, otherwise, the entire group will be wiped out sooner or later.

"Yana, appear from the side of the road, pretend to run into the merchant group and help that card user."

"Alright!"

"Oh right, take back the Holy Knight's Laurel Crown. You look more convincing wearing it."

"Then I'll be going."

"Go."

A few moments later.

A female voice suddenly came from the side of the road:

"What kind of monster is it, to dare attack humans!?"

Everyone turned to look, only to see a beautiful woman in golden armor with a divine halo above her head walking out from the side of the road.

A Holy Knight!

— — and from the presence she exuded, she wasn't a normal Holy Knight either!

Lorenzo was overjoyed and spoke in a low voice: "Your esteemed excellency, please lend me a hand!"

"Of course."

Yana raised her hand and casually waved.

A golden light spread from her feet and quickly spread to the entire merchant group before rising into the sky.

"My wounds ... are all healed!"

"Me too."

"Not only are my wounds healed, I can feel my strength being replenished again."

"That's right, I'm filled with energy!"

Everyone spoke at once.

Yana reached out a slender finger, lightly tapped Lorenzo from afar and spoke:

"Blessings."

Lorenzo became spirited and laughed: "A top-tier Holy Knight! This time, there's nothing for us to worry about anymore! "

He began to attack with all his might.

One hit, two hits, three to four hits.

Under his attacks, the insects were killed one by one.

The group was safe again.

Everyone quickly rushed towards Yana, greeting her warmly and politely.

"That's right, I was traveling alone without any weapons, but who knew I'd run into you all?"

Yana smiled.

Her beauty was unparalleled, she was once a Deity, as well as a Holy Knight revered by all. She wore a holy laurel crown, causing quite a few male Professionists to be stunned.

"Esteemed lady, can you protect our merchant group for a bit? We've been attacked by many monsters on the way here" Lorenzo politely asked.

The leader of the merchant group stood on one side and bowed together with Lorenzo.

"No problem." Yana replied.

Everyone was overjoyed.

Liu Ping watched from afar and lightly nodded.

Yana glanced at him discreetly and sent her voice through telepathy: "It took a bit of my power — — - actually, after the curse was removed, I still haven't fully recovered, so I need to continue eating your Sacre Meal."

"No problem, I'll prepare it for you later." Liu Ping replied.

"Hm, I'll deal with them first, I'll find you later." Yana replied.

"Alright."

Liu Ping turned his gaze back to the void of space.

There were three icons.

The Heroic Spirit UI had already given the corresponding instructions.

The first icon was a circular map that could be scanned once a day within a 500km radius. As long as a valuable Card appeared, it would be marked on the map.

The second icon was a disheveled chicken.

Its feathers were all burnt, its expression dejected as if it had just gone through a calamity.

The Sequence said that this chicken could provide information once a day — — -

(TN: Aye isn't that Gu Qingshan's chicken?)

But it needed a long time to recover, so it couldn't provide accurate information for now.

The third icon was a blank Card with a line of red text on it.

[Fetters of Fate]

This ability could use the power of Fate to find information about other Cards that were closely related to it.

Liu Ping glanced through it and said without hesitation:

"I'll choose [Fetters of Fate]"

[Are you sure?] the Heroic Spirit UI asked.

"I'm sure."

Liu Ping replied.

At the very next moment.

The other two options disappeared.

The blank Card icon with the red text fell down, neatly lined up with [Three Points Leveling Method] and [Lord of Heroic Spirits].

The power of Fate ...

I seem to have seen a bit of it just now, it's even more mysterious and unexplainable than any other power.

Liu Ping silently thought, then found an inconspicuous spot and pulled out the [Holy Cathedral] Card.

Activate [Fetters of Fate]!

Liu Ping silently chanted.

The icon on the Heroic Spirit UI instantly lit up.

Lines of small text appeared on the card:

[The Holy Cathedral is the true sanctuary of the entire Land of Exile. Many entities that had been exiled to this world had sought refuge within the cathedral, some of them even had deep ties with it]

[Fetters Card: Book of the Witch]

[This is a taboo book that recorded powerful evil magic, its owner had used the power of the Holy Cathedral to seal it away and stored it in the monastery of the Empire's capital]

[Core Sequence Card # 7]

My gamble paid off!

— — -To be able to bind a Card of the level of the [Holy Cathedral], it definitely wouldn't be a worthless Card!

Liu Ping calmed down a bit.

Very good, this ability is very useful, it came at the right time.

Out of curiosity, he took out Zhao Chanyi's Card to take a look.

Zhao Chanyi was sitting cross-legged, currently cultivating.

— — Activate [Fetters of Fate]!

Liu Ping silently said.

Lines of text quickly appeared on the Card:

[Nine-Lives Cat Demon: Zhao Chanyi]

[She is one of the top Demon beast Kings of a certain cultivation world, she has various Thaumaturgies, but often causes trouble due to her curiosity and gluttony, a good friend of the Demon Lord, Liu Ping]

[Fetters: Card user Liu Ping]

[A reliable companion who lives in fear and always forgets that Zhao Chanyi likes to eat fish.]

Liu Ping wiped the sweat off his forehead and silently put the Card back.

At this point, the group began to move forward.

Lorenzo's voice resounded from afar:

"Very well, let's move out, we've arrived at Blue Water Forest Lake and begin our preparations!"

"Yes!"

Everyone loudly replied.

...

"How is it? I personally went into the lake to catch this fish. "

"Delicious, delicious! It's been so long since I've tasted your cooking — — wah, how can it be so delicious! "

"Eat slowly, I'll make it for you more often when I have time"

"Liu Ping, you're the best — — right, when will my Tribulation end!?"

"Unless you level up, all of the Karmic Tribulations on your body will come looking for you"

A few moments later.

"What's wrong?"

"Help ... me ... thorn... is stuck ..."
