Chapter 3482: Forward (Additional Updates with Monthly Tickets)

Endless skeletons are the norm in this world.

Ten years have passed since Locke left the basin where the Lost Fantasyland is located.

During these ten years, Locke kept moving deeper into the Land of Bones.

Lilith and Phantom Reel have returned to Locke's Lost Paradise to recuperate. At this time, Locke is accompanied by the gray reptile creature Griggy Skull, who is riding under him.

Gegeguan also wanted to go back to the lost paradise where the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, but it was a pity that he couldn't help himself.

Faced with Locke's power, Gegeguan didn't dare to say "no".

"When did this end?" Looking at the end of the endless skeletons, Locke sighed for the first time since he came to this world.

...

Two hundred years later.

A giant city of bones appeared in front of Locke and his party.

It is actually a bit far-fetched to say that it is a 'giant' city of bones, because this city, which is purely made of bones, covers an area equivalent to the area of ​​an ordinary human town in the wizarding world.

However, the appearance of this city of bones made Locke and others' eyes light up.

He was used to seeing mountains and rift valleys made of piles of bones. Suddenly a city appeared in front of him and others, giving Locke the illusion of returning to civilized society.

Unfortunately, before he could even enter the City of Bones, Locke was persuaded to stay out.

This City of Bones is not a city open to the public, but was built by a desperate man out of boredom, summoning more than ten fourth- and fifth-level creatures under his command, and spending several years building it bit by bit.

The strange blue-white bone fire was burning vigorously at the top of the city. It was unknown which civilization's characteristic style this city of bones showed.

"Would you like to stay here for a while?" Locke asked Lilith beside him, tilting his head.

It is not Lilith's character to stay in Lost Paradise all year round. In order to cooperate with her in completing some spellcasting research in a desperate world, Lilith will even take the initiative to ask to come out of Lost Paradise for some fresh air.

Phantom Magic Riel was not with Locke and the others at this time. The crimson gem seized from the Golden Eagle more than two hundred years ago, in addition to benefiting Riel in the use of illusion power, it also contained Part of the Avondale Republic's knowledge of the illusion system.

Just because the Golden Eagle couldn't understand the knowledge didn't mean that Rui Er couldn't study it either. Locke continued to train his body and promote passive evolution in the world of despair. Similarly, Phantom Reel did not slow down in his progress.

Facing Locke's inquiry, Lilith nodded in agreement without hesitating for too long.

Moving forward is a bit boring for Lilith. Sometimes it is a good experience to stop and stop in one place for a while.

Not to mention, only by obtaining corresponding intelligence information along the way will Locke and others know their next destination.

Otherwise, it would just be like a headless fly, bumping around.

Locke, who had unlocked his self-sealing technique, was approaching the City of Bones step by step with his magical power.

The pillar of fire filled with flames of destruction behind him has reached a height of a thousand meters. In a world of despair, all strength is often linked to body size.

The method of using the Flame Pillar of Destruction was taught to Locke by Phantom Demon Reel. It is said that this is a method often used by a certain Dark Flame King on the 36th floor of Hell when he invades another world.

If it were in the star realm, Locke could easily raise the Flame Pillar of Destruction to a scale of tens of thousands of meters, making all the weak creatures in the world tremble at his arrival.

But in an environment with low magic and suppressed rules like the World of Despair, the height of one thousand meters is already his limit.

Locke's arrival of demonic power also made the owner of the City of Bones, the Desperate-level Thousand-Eyed Butterfly, a little weak in the legs.

Even before the battle with Locke, the Thousand-Eyed Giant Butterfly concluded that Locke had the strength of a peak despairer, and abandoned Bone City and fled to other areas without hesitation.

Also with the Thousand-Eyed Huangdie's escape, this Bone City was officially owned by Locke.

...

Locke and his party stayed in the City of Bones for a total of twenty years.

Sure enough, this kind of regular city is more in line with Locke's appetite. Before leaving, Locke said to Lilith, "Next time we settle somewhere, I will build a bigger City of Bones."

...

Four hundred years later, Locke and his party, who continued to move deeper into the Land of Bones, once again encountered a special phenomenon in a desperate world - an energy storm.

This energy storm lasted neither long nor short, adding up to a total of 76 years.

I don't know if it was because Locke and others were gradually approaching the deepest part of the Land of Bones, but Lilith discovered that the energy storm sweeping through here was more powerful than the Bone Mountain where they were originally.

The fierceness of the energy storm also led to the higher quality of the 'Philosopher's Stone' produced in the deeper areas of this land of bones.

It is said that the most numerous and most powerful group of desperate people in the world of despair lurk here.

Locke must also be sure that the number of desperate people and level 4 or above survivors here is indeed much higher than in their original area.

Likewise, the risk factor here is also extremely high.

Because the three of Locke have always maintained a state of self-sealing, there are not just one or two desperate people who have attracted their attention in the areas they have traveled through over the years.

For these desperate people who come to their door, Locke should be a spice in the boring life.

because no

It may be like the battle that took place in the Skeleton Basin, where all kinds of world-class secret treasures and trump cards were used, so most of the desperate people who came to offend fled in panic after being upset.

Only those who were weaker ended up paying the price with their lives because of their greed and stupidity.

Nourished by Lilith's body-refining potion and the flesh and blood of many powerful creatures, Locke's passive evolution level has continued to improve by leaps and bounds over the years.

This is also a special feature of the world of despair. If it were in a normal star realm, subject to the dual constraints of rules and energy, the passive evolution of any organism would not be able to continue to improve without scruples.

Because passive evolution often leads to enhancements in other aspects, such as spirit, soul strength, or life level.

But in a world of despair, only physical strength and passive evolution itself are enhanced!

This is why when Lilith first came to the World of Despair, she called the evolutionary path of the creatures here 'distorted evolution'.

There is no doubt that Locke has also begun his own twisted evolutionary journey.

However, Locke, who has turned on the Destroyer transformation for many years and has gradually become numb in this world, no longer cares about what he will eventually evolve into.

...

Also after the storm ended, Locke and his party continued their journey.

Their next target is a regular and dangerous place called Jiuchong Mountain, where it is said that a group of powerful desperate people have gathered.
