Dead Souls? That's an Undead Bone Dragon!

The Twilight Great Canyon.

A trainee Grim Trainee Death God a scythe to exterminate the undead.

That night, I mistook the undead for a junior swordsman and sent him here to help the junior resolve the crisis. Unexpectedly, I accidentally struck the Trainee Death God sword.

He was attacked as soon as he arrived. He instinctively fought back, but when he saw that his attacker was an apprentice Death God Scythe Trainee Death God a scythe, the Trainee Death God ran away without looking back.

Considering the circumstances of that day, and the identity Venus revealed at that time, the Trainee Death God took a hit from him was definitely that little Venus.

The "Request for Assistance" message I received that morning when Trainee Death God was building a snowman—could it have been sent by Venus herself? Cleanse the undead in the Twilight Great Canyon.

They encountered a mysterious and unknown powerful being.

A mysterious and unknown powerful figure struck her with a sword. Feeling that fighting alone was too dangerous, she sent a message to the Trainee Death God in the surrounding area requesting assistance.

What truly terrified Venus was not the sword strike he unleashed.

She mistakenly believed that the undead had summoned a mysterious and terrifying being from somewhere. Beings capable of "descending" are beyond the scope of ordinary powerful beings, so it's normal for Venus to be wary.

broken.

Emotionally, it was he who increased the difficulty level of the Venus quest.

no.

Venus must not know that he is the "Intern Death God" for the time being.

The identity of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor cannot be hidden.

Even if he doesn't say it, Amelia will find a way to make him show off in front of Venus.

Not mature at all.

He's over a thousand years old and still so playful.

He was shocked by Venus's identity Trainee Death God.

He shocked Venus with his identity Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.

He saw right through Amelia's little scheme.

If he hadn't wanted to hide his identity Intern Death God, he would have already taken out his Death God Scythe and placed it on Amelia's shoulder.

Beast Tamer.

Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.

These two identities are enough; there's no need for them to know that I'm an "Intern Death God."

If possible, the identity of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor should not be revealed. If it is revealed, the [Falling Sun] skill must absolutely not be used.

We need to change our sword intent.

The young dragon was pointing at Venus, who was dressed in the Death God Set, and slapping the evil dragon's arm, about to shout, "You seem to be late."

Just as she was about to speak, Amelia spoke first, seemingly quite pleased with the dragon's reaction to the "Trainee Death God" Venus.

The naive Great Elf must have mistakenly believed that the dragon was intimidated by Venus's identity as the "Trainee Death God".

In reality, the dragon's reaction was more of an accident.

On their way here, they sometimes returned to Black Dragon Island to sleep at night. On Black Dragon Island, the evil dragon said that he wanted to sign an apprentice Death God Contract with Venus.

Little did they know that Venus was already Trainee Death God.

Judging from the dragon's appearance, it seems that the dragon has no desire to reveal itself as Intern Death God for the time being.

They're really good at hiding it.

"Little Dragon, don't be afraid, Venus won't hurt you. Is there something you want to say to that liar Lance?"

"Um."

What do you want to say?

"Look, there's Death."

Evil Dragon didn't want to reveal her identity as an "Intern Death God," so she couldn't say anything more.

Amelia crossed her arms and stared at the little dragon standing next to Lance, feeling strange. She couldn't help but feel that the little dragon's reaction was a bit off.

Normally, Xiaolong would be a little scared if he saw the Grim Reaper, right?

Xiaolong's reaction just now didn't seem like fear, but rather... excitement? Excitement?

Well, it's probably because Xiaolong is at a stage where his curiosity and desire to explore are very strong. It's normal for him to be excited and thrilled when he sees some strange and unusual professions that are almost impossible to experience in reality.

Lance the Lance's reaction was more interesting.

sluggish.

stunned.

regret.

Hmm? Regret?

What is the liar Lance regretting? Venus is Trainee Death God, what is he regretting? "I'm sorry, Lance, I didn't intentionally hide my identity Trainee Death God. It was Amelia who insisted that I meet you and reveal my identity in front of you as a surprise."

Hmm. I also have a little bit of a mischievous streak; I want to see how you react when you find out I'm Trainee Death God.

Venus, wielding the Death God Scythe's scythe, was satisfied. Lance's reaction just now showed that he was indeed shocked by his identity as an "Trainee Death God".

Compared to the identity of Beast Tamer, the mysterious title of "Trainee Death God Trainee Death God" carries more weight.

"You've become Trainee Death God, and I don't even know how to congratulate you. Wishing you Promotion and Salary Increase seems like cursing you to die."

"Lance, from now on you don't need to fear death. If you are about to die one day, contact me in advance, and I will cross domains to find you and guide your soul to the area I am in charge of."

"If you wish to be reincarnated, I will use my authority and connections to ensure you are reborn into a wealthy family. Even if you wish to be reborn into royalty, I will try my best to fulfill that wish."

Venus took off her hat, looked into Lance's eyes, and spoke very seriously.

"If you don't want to reincarnate, I can recommend you to be Death God Assistant. After I die, or someday when I become a Grim Reaper, you can be my assistant. At that time, I will work hard to upgrade to a Tier Two Death God and apply for a Level One Death God position for you."

Lance smiled.

He walked up to Venus and patted Venus head. "I'm relieved to hear you say that. The Death God Contract with you should take good care of you, and you seem to be doing well."

Keep it up! If you ever feel unhappy or wronged while working Trainee Death God, come find me. I'll stand up for you.

If you get into trouble with the Grim Reaper or are ostracized, come to me. I'll not only help you get revenge, but I might even help you Promotion and Salary Increase.

I won't flaunt my status Intern Death God.

Let me, your former teammate, be your source of confidence.

"."

It has happened. The reversed Heavenly Gang should have been the source of Venus's confidence in becoming the conman Lance, but instead, the conman Lance's simple words became the source of Venus's confidence Trainee Death God.

That's really bold of you.

If one day the Grim Reaper of Hell really makes things difficult for Venus, the Trainee Death God, she doesn't believe that the conman Lance can help Venus.

It's not that I doubt Lance's abilities.

Lance is a fraud and has no right to contact the Grim Reaper of Hell.

Venus blinked her crimson eyes twice, slightly puzzled, realizing that her mindset was somewhat strange.

Reality told her that Lance, as Potion Master and Beast Tamer, was simply unable to keep his promise to her.

But Lance's words gave her a strange sense of peace.

Suspicious yet trusting, she said, "I understand. If that day ever comes, I will come to you." Venus put on her hat. "Let's begin. Let's try to send all the undead in this area to hell before midnight."

Black mist rose from the jet-black Death God Scythe.

A dazzling azure light emanated from Amelia's body, and when the light faded, a large, ancient-looking bow appeared in her hand.

A quiver filled with arrows appeared behind them.

Her long, emerald-green hair, which had been casually draped behind her, was now tied into a high ponytail, and her vital parts were all protected by soft armor.

The moment he nocked the arrow, he was dashing and his expression was stern.

When the young dragon saw Amelia after she transformed, for a moment he had the idea of recruiting Amelia and making her Amelia Lucia's Imperial Daughter.

She also wanted to recruit Venus.

Unfortunately, it's just a dream.

"Lance, you liar, if you want to go back to sleep early, stop hiding your strength. Show your true power and help Venus clear this area quickly."

"As you wish."

Lance raised his hand, and with a buzzing sound, a huge black and red magic circle instantly formed.

A low growl emanated from the black and red magic circle.

Four thick, pillar-like claws slowly emerged from the black and red magic circle, followed by a body as large as a mountain.

boom--

The earth shook violently, and a tortoise the size of a small mountain emerged from the black and red magic circle and fell to the ground.

???

Is this the turtle Lance was talking about?

Amelia and Venus exchanged a glance instinctively.

Even the legendary dragon turtle is probably not as big as this turtle.

Did Lance sign Pet Beast contract with this behemoth? Woof woof woof—

The sound of dogs barking came from within the black and red magic circle.

Amelia and Venus subconsciously looked up into the black and red magic circle, where a large dog wreathed in hellfire leaped out.

Hellhound? Hellhound with two heads?

When the Hellhound saw Lance, it instinctively wanted to stick out its tongue and act cute, but when it saw that there were two other people standing next to Lance, it hesitated.

His eyes suddenly turned fierce, and a deep, chilling roar came out of his throat intermittently.

Hellfire also ignited on the four dog paws.

It is a proud, cold, and ruthless two-headed Hellhound; its arrival will bring death to this place.

Amelia was stunned by the two Pet Beast of the conman Lance.

I originally thought that the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor was the strongest form of the liar Lance.

Unexpectedly, Lance, the conman who appeared as Beast Tamer, was also ridiculously strong.

Like a tortoise the size of a small mountain.

Even if a turtle of this size runs at a very slow speed, it won't be that slow. If it bumps into you or bites you, you'll probably be dead.

Shoot it with an arrow? Don't be ridiculous. Its metallic shell is impenetrable by ordinary arrows.

To hunt this turtle, at least two members of the [Radiant Sun] team would need to cooperate to have any chance of killing it.

And that Two-Headed Hellhound.

Hellhound run very fast; if you get bitten by one, your soul will be sucked away.

With powerful Pet Beast and the identity of the conman Lance Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor, whoever ambushes the conman will be tricked to death. "They are my Pet Beast, and their strength is not bad. Even if there are mysterious and unknown powerful beings, we should be able to quickly pass through this area before midnight."

Lance appeared on the turtle's back.

Upon seeing this, the young dragon quickly flapped its wings and flew onto the turtle's back.

"You two come up here too."

Venus swept through the undead in this area.

Then go home and go to sleep early.

"Amelia, stand next to Lance and assist me with your bow and arrow. If you encounter any undead that could threaten my life, shoot them down."

As for those undead of average strength, there's no need to shoot them; just restrict their movements, and I'll send them to hell.

"Clear."

"Let's begin."

Amelia flew onto the turtle's back, came to Lance's side, and nocked an arrow.

Venus leaped directly over the tortoise, flying low with the Death God Scythe in her hand.

She hasn't been idle these days either, clearing out some of the undead in this area.

The remaining undead are quite powerful, and they have begun to consciously swarm her.

Strangely enough, since that day, until tonight, she hasn't encountered any undead who know how to pray to that mysterious statue.

We might run into them tonight, so we can't be careless.

"Dog, clear the way. If you encounter any undead, don't kill them. Drive them directly to Venus's side and let Venus send them to hell. If you encounter any unruly undead, use your hellfire to burn their soul flames."

"Woof."

Er Gouzi transformed into a streak of black and red light, chasing after Venus ahead and beginning to clear away the undead in this area.

It's just some undead. If the evil dragon Lance were to get serious, he could purify all the undead in this area just by flying over this canyon.

wrong.

To be precise, it means purifying all living beings in this area.

If you don't want to go through all that trouble, the evil dragon Lance can unleash a Source Curse that can level this entire canyon.

However, the evil dragon Lance never did such a thing.

He hates fighting and killing and prefers to enjoy life.

"Turtle, go a little faster. The dragon cub is still growing, so try not to let her stay up all night."

"."

The turtle glanced upwards, thinking, "If you don't want the baby dragon to stay up all night, then unleash your ultimate attack!"

If all else fails, summon that terrifying Squid Girl here and let her wave Squid Girl tentacles a few times, and this area will disappear from the human world.

Let's play.

After mentally cursing the evil dragon Lance a few times, the turtle sped up, and the Twilight Great Canyon began to tremble.

The Bone Beast, undead, and other monsters that inhabited this area were all alarmed.

The monsters within the Twilight Great Canyon began to stir.

Bone Beast and undead emerged from the ground, the walls, and the dim, yellowish mist.

Er Gouzi ran very fast, and it appeared in the sight of the restless monsters, Bone Beast, and undead.

Without hesitation, Er Gouzi roared, and Er Gouzi of his dog heads opened their mouths at the same time to spew hellfire.

"Roar--"

Er Gouzi, standing on the heads of two demons, was brimming with arrogance. He made the demons, Bone Beast, and undead in front of him make a choice.

Surrender, or die.

Venus hadn't expected Lance's dog to be so ferocious; in a single exchange, it had defeated two powerful monsters and trampled them under its feet.

She also spewed hellfire, forcing more than a dozen powerful undead to her side, where she seized the opportunity to send them into hell with her Death God Scythe.

Lance's Pet Beast, the Two-Headed Hellhound, is quite intelligent.

Amelia also began to cooperate and assist her in clearing out the undead. She hit her target every time, piercing the leg bones of many undead and rendering them unable to move.

The restless monsters were a bit troublesome. Some of these monsters could fly, and some possessed certain [Mystical Arts]. They were not within the scope of the cleanup, and she didn't want to kill all the monsters in this area.

The roar of the Two-Headed Hellhound just now enraged many demons.

A demonic ape over ten meters tall.

A human-faced blood eagle with wingspans nearly twenty meters.

Stone Statue Demon with the ability to petrify other living beings.

These monsters were very powerful, and the roar of the Two-Headed Hellhound could not intimidate them.

This is the latter half of the Twilight Great Canyon. Further in, the monsters in the depths of the Twilight Great Canyon become even stronger.

We can't waste time here. If all else fails, we'll have to kill a few powerful monsters to intimidate the others.

Just as Venus was about to hunt down a few Stone Statue Demon, she suddenly noticed that the previously agitated and ferocious monsters were all looking behind her in terror, and some of them even subconsciously took several steps back.

Are they afraid? Afraid of the huge turtle?

Lance sat cross-legged on the turtle's head, watching the restless monsters in front of him.

He directly projected his physical body into the spiritual world of those demons.

Stand still and let them pass.

The next moment, the restless monsters trembled and made way for them.

Venus moved; she wielded the Death God Scythe, reaping Bone Beast and undead.

As for the monsters that were intimidated by the turtle, she didn't touch them. When Er Gouzi saw that the Stone Statue Demon that had wanted to punch it just now had suddenly become docile, it didn't need to look back to know that it was the evil Lance who had intimidated these ferocious monsters.

A bunch of idiotic monsters. Be grateful for the dragon's mercy. If other dragons came, you would probably have been torn to pieces long ago, and might even have become their meal.

Er Gouzi bypassed the monsters and continued deeper into the Grand Canyon.

Venus also began to follow suit.

With two teammates behind her, she wasn't worried at all about being ambushed by monsters.

As Venus had predicted, the undead she encountered became increasingly powerful and outrageous as she progressed.

Now, what appeared before her was Heavy Armor Undead Knight riding a skeletal horse.

Bone Spirit Subdragon appear in the dim, misty haze.

Amelia's previously carefree expression gradually turned serious. The earlier ones could be described as undead, but describing the later ones as mere undead was somewhat impolite.

Because these guys can talk to them directly.

For example, the group of heavily armored knights riding skeletal horses that appeared before them, led by an undead heavy armored knight, spoke directly to them.

"You [Trainee Death God] who has made Death God Contract with Hell, this is the end for you. You've already cleared out quite a few low-level undead in this area, and for the sake of Hell, we, the adults, won't hold it against you. However, if you go any further, even if you are Trainee Death God from Hell, you might still die."

Venus looked solemn. These undead heavy-armored knights were very strong, and their soul fire was many times stronger than the undead she had encountered before.

What truly terrified her was the swirling, yellowish mist behind these undead heavy-armored knights; she could sense a terrifying presence behind that mist.

"Thank you for your understanding, sir. I'll be leaving now."

Venus turned and left. Lance had said that one should listen to advice and eat one's fill. This being deep in the Twilight Great Canyon was clearly beyond her ability to deal with.

She didn't want her teammates to be in danger because of her.

"You can't leave now, stay here. I haven't seen such an interesting human being in a long time."

The yellowish mist behind the undead heavy armor knight churned violently, and the next moment, two blood moons appeared in the mist.

With a violent tremor, a gigantic, grotesque head devoid of flesh and blood emerged from the dim mist. Undead Bone Dragon?!
