Chapter 703 The Remnant Spirit in the Womb
Li Miao planted his spear in the ground and quickly steadied himself.
Upon reaching the shore, he rolled several times on the ground before finally stopping in an ugly position with his head on the ground and his buttocks facing upwards.
But he wasn't going to die from the fall. He quickly got up, grimacing, and looked at the monster that had suddenly appeared.
【The Evil Infant Ant Lion King】
[Rank: Torch Flame]
【Level: 68】
(More information has been hidden)
[Description: A antlion monster with the face of an evil infant, hiding underground, survives in harsh environments and will not easily let go of any outsider who may become its food.]
"Damn it, it's even uglier than the smaller one from before!"
"Stop talking nonsense, this thing isn't strong, let's take care of it quickly!"
Li Miao interrupted the other party's rudeness and then picked up the Frost Cavalry Lance.
The evil infant ant lion king also let out a hoarse and unpleasant scream, and then attacked the two of them.
The battle is about to break out.
but.
No matter what, the Evil Infant Lion King is just a monster that worships fire, not a saint who transforms into fire.
Faced with Li Miao and Shang An, two Fire Saints, its power could only be suppressed.
If the two hadn't planned to save some of the Fire's power for later exploration, it probably would have been dead in just a few rounds.
Even against two opponents who weren't going all out, its chances of winning were extremely slim, and it quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
Bang!
Facing the evil infant ant lion king attacking from underground, Li Miao raised his large shield and parried, successfully reflecting most of the damage.
Seeing this, the shore-going crew naturally wouldn't sit idly by and let such a good opportunity slip away.
He raised his staff and summoned the power of the dark night.
"Shadow Scythe!"
In an instant, a long black scythe suddenly appeared in the shadow of the Evil Infant Lion King's massive body and swung fiercely towards it.
Swish!
The body of the evil infant ant lion king was cleanly and neatly cut in two, its internal organs and blood splattered all over the ground, leaving only two pieces of its remains still struggling.
You have killed the Evil Infant Lion King.
"Wow! I knew this magic was amazing!"
Reaching shore invigorated me.
He had just cast two buff spells, [Enlightenment of the Long Night] and [Stargazing Thought] from the Meteoros school, and with the powerful talent fruit and the effect of the Shadow Scythe itself, it was only expected that he would kill him instantly.
I have to thank the big shot from afar!
Li Miao, however, did not join him in cheering and jumping for joy. Instead, he came to the side of the still-dissipating body of the Evil Infant Lion King, his face showing surprise.
"Strange, even if it's hidden underground, there shouldn't be no trace of it or its presence. Could it be some kind of innate talent of this monster or the effect of the power of fire?"
Li Miao pondered for a moment and felt it was very likely, after all, judging from the corpses in the sand dunes, this evil infant ant lion king had successfully ambushed many warriors.
"So, did you find anything useful?"
He came ashore and came to his side, asking questions.
"I haven't seen it yet."
His mention of it prompted Li Miao to also focus his attention on the fallen object.
The loot this time was very little; aside from the wax, there were only two useful items.
[Acquired: The Face of the Evil Infant Antlion (Excellent)]
[Acquired: Remnant Spirit in the Belly x1]
The first item, the Mask of the Evil Infant Antlion, is nothing special; it's just an item with a slight fear effect, but it only works on weak monsters with low self-awareness.
The second item that dropped was quite interesting.
【Remnant Spirit in the Belly】 【Type: Special Item/Consumable】
[Effect: Placing it back into the correct corpse will temporarily restore its sentience.]
[Note: The remnant spirit swallowed by the evil infant ant lion king died in agony, but its lingering attachment before death keeps it wandering the world.]
"Do you want this mask?"
"Yes, of course I want it. I need some wax. Thank you, Brother Miao."
After landing on the shore, he cheerfully accepted the mask of the evil infant ant lion, then looked at the remnant spirit inside his abdomen in his hand, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Returning the correct remains... could it be the remains from that sand dune from before?"
"With so many corpses, how can we find the right one?"
After getting ashore, I glanced at the corpses around me. Some of them had become incomplete fragments and could not be pieced back together.
Li Miao was also quite troubled by this.
However, he had no clue. The place where the Evil Infant Lion King died did not leave any remains, indicating that the remains of this remnant spirit were not inside its stomach.
Left with no other choice, the two could only try it on the corpses present one by one.
However, after some time, despite their great efforts, the two still couldn't find the original remains of the remnant spirit; it showed no reaction whatsoever.
However, although they did not find the remains corresponding to the remnant spirit, they did make some additional gains next to these remains.
"Hmm, an adventure journal... Hmm, let me take a look."
"Wow, what a cliché story, with a narrative style like an elementary school essay, and it's full of meaningless drivel..."
Upon examining one of the adventure journals, the person who went ashore immediately showed a look of disgust.
"But to be fair, this guy is pretty strong; he actually managed to pass the first trial."
"Wow, Firefly? Was the previous trial really that easy?"
"Wait... before the moment of extinguishing, the owner of the newly risen pillar can actually determine the intensity of the challenge that the next trial participant will face?"
I was somewhat surprised when I got ashore.
Although the diary was poorly written, some of its contents provided additional information about the previous trial grounds.
However, it is clear that the current Long Night Divine Realm no longer has the same well-developed rules as before.
"Just keep going."
Li Miao sighed. Although he had gained something from the diary, it was irrelevant to their current situation.
Whether they were searching for the remains or trying to complete the trial and find their way out, they had no choice but to continue exploring this desolate area.
After getting ashore, he put away his diary and then weighed a ring in his hand.
This was found among the corpses from before, but it was useless; it was just a collectible. He planned to sell it at the spirit candle market.
"Hey, Miaozi, look over there, isn't there a corpse?"
As he came ashore, he glanced around and suddenly noticed something. He squinted and pointed it out to Li Miao.
Perhaps due to his good physical condition, Li Miao also had excellent eyesight. As soon as he heard this from the shore, he immediately saw it and confirmed that it was indeed a corpse.
Moreover, the remains appear to be relatively intact.
Hmm... It is indeed a complete corpse. It must have been a humanoid in life, with bone spikes like a hedgehog covering its body.
"How can this guy be connected to the remnant spirit inside my belly from such a distance?" He looked strange as he went ashore.
The remnant spirit inside the belly fell from the evil infant ant lion king, and this corpse was quite far away.
"Just try and you will find out."
Without hesitation, Li Miao pulled out the remnant spirit from his abdomen.
Surprisingly, the remnant spirit inside the abdomen actually reacted to the corpse and slowly flew into it...
