In the desolate Gobi.

The silent night set off one after another cold wind that carried the sand and rocks.

Compared to the blazing heat during the day, it's as cold as an ice cave at night.

It was so torturous.

Of course it is Mike who is tormented here.

He sat by the fire and looked at the father and daughter in front of him. No matter whether it was day or night, they seemed not to feel any change in temperature.

The only difference is that the girl tonight is sitting cross-legged on a stone next to her under the supervision of her father.

Based on Mike's knowledge, he probably knew that this was a practice method of the Dong tribe.

Similar to meditation, you have to cross your legs together and feel the world and so on. It seems to be used to cultivate your character or soul.

Anyway, that's what it means. He doesn't know many friends from the Dong tribe, and he doesn't know them well enough.

Perhaps it was a little too quiet. Apart from the sound of the wind, the only sound around them was the crackling sound of the fire.

Mike found nothing to say and said, "Are you just going to let those two ghost horses leave like this? Will they come back?"

To be honest, a day's running made him feel that the two ghost horses were almost turning into normal ghost creatures.

He no longer looked like a puppet under the control of the Necromancer.

Moreover, Zhuang Cai in front of him didn't look like a necromancer. From what he knew, the Dong clan seemed to prefer controlling corpses rather than ghosts.

They prefer to make friends with ghosts.

Forgive Mike for not knowing many Dong tribe friends.

"They will come back. It's okay if they don't come back. They will dissipate in a short time." Zhuang Cai said casually. He thought Mike was worried that the two ghost horses would go out and do bad things if they were not controlled.

"Yeah."

The air became quiet again.

To be honest, riding the skeleton horse during the day was a bit harsh on the butt, but it was okay. So he had a good rest during the day, which made him a little energetic tonight. Of course, the more reason was that the cold wind was colder tonight.

I don’t know if it’s because of going deep into the Gobi, but the coldness in the air has begun to become abnormal.

Seeing Zhuang Cai sitting cross-legged in front of the fire with his eyes closed and concentrating, Mike could only sigh softly, wrap up his clothes, and take out the pointer.

Although he knew that he would stay here for a long time this time, he did not expect that two days had passed and he seemed to have not yet grasped the situation.

The pointer at this time is turning slightly.

Looking at the extent of the rotation, you can tell that they are actually not that far away from their target.

Under his observation, the pointer rotated more and more until it pointed next to them.

Seeing this, Mike stood up immediately.

He couldn't help but look to his left, looking at the boundless darkness.

Even the moon seems to be hiding tonight, and there are only a few stars left in the sky, unable to bring any light to the Gobi.

Faced with Mike's vigilant movements, Zhuang Cai on the opposite side still closed his eyes and rested.

"Your target seems to have come to find you, and he also brought some friends with him."

Zhuang Cai suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile.

"What?" Mike was a little confused, and then he felt that the cordon he had set around the perimeter was touched.

Amid Mike's vigilance, a figure quickly appeared within the scope of the firelight.

"Oh~ Mike, my friend, why are you here? The wind is very cold tonight.

You will freeze when camping in this cold wind. I happen to have a warm place here. Do you want to be a guest?

Seeing that you are my friend, maybe I will prepare a warm dinner for you so that you can have a good night's rest? "

The high-pitched voice is annoying, and the sinister tone is even more annoying.

Zhuangcai observed the people in front of him by the light of the fire.

The high-pitched voice coupled with the body shape is not thin or short. On the contrary, he looks tall and strong.

At least he looked stronger than Mike, not a strong man, but not much different.

He was topless, wearing a fur garment, revealing his chest covered in black stripes.

The lower body is wearing a pair of jeans with some holes.

He was slightly bent over, looking naughty.

"You actually threw yourself into a trap? It seems like something gave you confidence." Mike took out his pistol and looked at the person in front of him and said.

"Oh, my dear friend, how can you say that? I specially invited you to my home."

This man had an exaggerated expression, exaggerated movements, and even a bit of dancing.

"Look, she's very happy."

As he spoke, something like a bottle floated over. It seemed to contain a ghost, and the ghost condensed into a face inside.

Looking closely, it seems to be a female face, which looks very immature and can only be called a girl.

Looking at the ghost girl in the bottle, Mike's mood obviously became a little angry, but he obviously suppressed himself.

"Want it?"

The man was shaking the bottle in his hand.

Several more figures came out from behind.

To be honest, he looks a bit horrible, and with his weird costume, it fits Zhuang Cai's various delusions about cultists, swamp witches, and desert monsters.

It can already be described as disgusting.

"Oh ho ho ho." An extremely sharp and weird laugh came from one of the short old women who looked extremely ugly.

She wore a tattered leather jacket and carried a rotten wooden cane.

His eyes had been fixed on Alice since he came over.

It is simply a classic image of a vicious witch.

"Lafaq, you never told me that there is a little girl here, oh, little baby.

I feel fine when I go back this time, thank you. "

Rafaq had already noticed that Zhuang Cai and Alice were so different from each other when they came here.

It's a bit out of place for this place.

Rafaq couldn't guess what was going on with these two people, so he ignored them for the time being.

However, the old woman actually mentioned him, so she had no choice but to look at Zhuang Cai and the two.

Alice had opened her eyes and wrinkled her lovely nose as she watched the people in front of her.

Zhuang Cai suddenly turned to look at Mike and said, "Do you want to duel with him?"

Hearing this, Mike glanced at Lafaque. He probably understood what Zhuang Cai meant and nodded without hesitation.

Rafaq felt that something was not right for a moment. He opened his mouth wide and was about to say something, but found that he could not speak.

The three people who followed him also discovered the problem.

However, there is no escape.

At some point, a thick fog appeared around them. As the thick fog enveloped them, Rafaq and Mike had disappeared.

"Alice, do you want to practice your skills?"

"No problem, Dad, leave it to me!"

Alice became excited instantly, and she had already wanted to punch and kick her enemy.

But whether it was her father or her mother, they always let her do this training and that training, and never really took action.

At most, it can assist auxiliary people in battle.

This is not in line with her temperament at all.

"You want this little girl to deal with us?!"

A fat and strong man like a butcher roared angrily.

Zhuang Cai waved his hand and didn't bother to pay attention.

The fog enveloped the three of them, and Alice also disappeared.

"This little girl is mine!"

The short and ugly witch who was enveloped in it rushed towards Alice with a wild laugh without hesitation.

The butcher behind was extremely angry, but he was not completely carried away. Compared to the old witch, he at least had some brains.

The other man, who looked like a man with weird twisted limbs, had no brains at all. He was standing there blankly at this time. Looking at the old witch rushing toward her, Alice didn't hate her even though she was extremely ugly.

Alice stood on the stone with her hands on her waist. Her legs changed and turned into a pair of upright blades.

Two steel ropes shot out from her waist and pulled her out.

The flexible figures danced in the sky, as if dancing a ballet, a child's swan dance.

She was imitating Iridescent Eyes' fighting appearance, which was still the same fighting appearance as before.

Various poisonous insects appeared in the air, summoned by the old witch.

After clearing it in the air a few times, Alice returned to her own form.

I kicked the bug with my legs and the juices flew everywhere. It was really disgusting.

Alice stood there and thought for a moment, then her fingers couldn't help but draw a spell in the air.

But halfway through the painting, she stopped her movements abruptly.

"No, if Dad is discovered, Dad will let Alice learn more..."

The densely packed text and spells were so overwhelming that Alice stopped imitating them.

There was mist in his hand, and a huge inflatable hammer formed.

He picked up the inflatable hammer and swung it hard at the old woman in front of him.

"Fly high!"

A strange sound of an air hammer hitting, like a child's toy.

All kinds of poisonous insects flying over were knocked out in an instant, flying far and far until they were no longer visible.

The wrinkled little old witch also discovered the problem and seemed to want to escape.

"Can't run!"

Alice hurriedly chased after him. This was her first time taking action. What if she ran away? He started driving the car involuntarily.

I have no idea when this car came.

Driving without a license, he hit the vicious old witch hard and knocked her away instantly.

"I'm sorry." Alice stepped on the brakes and said apologetically.

But the old woman who flew out and hit the ground obviously no longer had the strength to speak.

The hand stretched slightly, then fell to the ground, making no sound.

The butcher-like strong man who had calmed down was almost running to the edge of the fog and wanted to leave.

However, an exaggerated box popped up in the mist. As the colorful ribbons exploded inside, a toy with a clown-like tongue sticking out appeared.

"Haha!" The clown's exaggerated toy laughed evilly while sticking out its tongue and making faces.

However, the interesting thing is that the butcher was really frightened. He turned back to where he came from and ran quickly in fear.

As a result, it seemed that he stepped on something under his feet. He suddenly woke up and looked at his feet.

A huge piranha opened its mouth and swallowed him in one go.

The piranha has a dreamy, cartoonish look and even swallows a bit.

The stem of the piranha also protruded a large piece and slid downwards, as if it had swallowed food larger than its throat.

It seemed that the butcher he swallowed didn't taste very good, and he stuck out his tongue, as if he was very disgusted.

As for the stupid, twisted and strong man, he didn't know when he had been strapped to a rocket, flew into the sky, and turned into a star.

The surrounding fog dissipated, and Alice ran to Zhuang Cai's side again.

Pointing to the witch's body lying on the ground.

"Alice has defeated them."

Zhuang Cai looked at the corpse of the witch and couldn't help but ask: "Where are the other two?"

"One was eaten by the piranha, and the other flew into the sky and turned into a star."

Listening to Alice's proud voice, Zhuang Cai couldn't help but scratch his forehead.

He could probably understand that Alice's power could indeed do such a thing.

This is why Zhuang Cai never expects Alice to grow up or expect her to mature.

Alice will only know more and more, but she will not mature, she will still be the same as a child.

More and more experiences will not change her innocent nature.

"Where are their souls?" Zhuang Cai suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Alice shook her head in confusion: "The soul... the soul is gone when it dies?"

Obviously, Alice did not destroy the soul.

In a world where the boundary between life and death is so thin, souls dissipate quickly, but not so fast.

Zhuang Cai looked at the remaining corpses and thought about the other two people who had no corpses left. He didn't notice any fluctuations in their souls.

After they died, their souls disappeared instantly, and even their bodies never came out.

It's like their souls already have a home.

"Some kind of price? The price of signing a contract."

Zhuang Cai couldn't help but think about this possibility.

By this time, the fog behind him had dissipated, and Mike walked out of it.

There is still a faint white light on the body.

Zhuang Cai felt that the white light on his body was, to be honest, somewhat similar to the light that represented happiness. But it's not completely similar, it's more of a positive energy manifestation.

Zhuang Cai had noticed it from the beginning. Among the strange energy-emitting items on Mike's body is a feather that gathers powerful positive energy.

That feather must have been obtained from some kind of extremely positive creature.

At this time, the feather was hanging on Mike's chest, but the light had become dim, and the feather was no longer soft and a little messy.

At his feet, Rafaq, who was still shouting just now, was completely unconscious. There were several holes in his body, which looked like they were caused by bullets.

However, it has been simply processed, and Mike is tying him up with ropes.

After doing all this, he smiled apologetically at Zhuang Cai and the others, holding a cracked glass bottle in his hands.

What is inside is the girl's soul.

It seems that this soul is the target that Mike has been chasing.

Seeing this situation, Alice suddenly waved her hand.

The glass bottle suddenly transformed and turned into a beautiful crystal ball, and there was even a small house inside.

The sudden change made Mike panic. Then he knew that this was Alice's trick. Although he believed in Alice, he hurriedly looked into the crystal ball.

The crystal ball seemed to understand his thoughts, magnifying the house.

Then he saw the girl's soul resting comfortably on a bed in the house.

Compared with the glass bottle that is about to break at any time, this crystal ball and the small house inside seem to be much better.

Zhuang Cai looked at the mark on the back of his hand and then at Alice.

"Did you change it according to your own house?"

Alice nodded: "Hehe, how about it? Alice is very powerful."

"It seems that besides meditating, you also learned some other knowledge, which is good.

Work harder. "

Zhuang Cai smiled and praised, rubbing Alice's cheek.

Alice also smiled, obviously enjoying it very much.

Zhuang Cai could see this change and used some kind of fast alchemy technique. Certain repairs and transformations were made on the broken glass bottle that could originally contain the soul.

In essence, it is still a container used to carry souls, but it has undergone some aesthetic changes. It contains both Alice's power and her knowledge.

Faced with such changes, Zhuang Cai was very pleased, and Alice also grew up.

At this time, Mike held the glass ball and said happily to Alice: "Thank you Alice, thank you so much, you are great."

This time Alice was very helpful and smiled and nodded.

With his limited knowledge, Mike could also know that this crystal ball could well preserve the girl's soul, much better than the glass bottle.

This is really great. (End of chapter)
