455: The Small Celestial Box Realm! Rules Invade the Aberrant Insect Realm!

"Hmm?"

Su Lie's eyes lit up after hearing this.

He first instructed Su Liya: "Liya! You go back first and carry out the task of reviewing the new Vassals! I'll take care of things here!"

"Master! Please be careful!"

Su Liya respectfully bowed ninety degrees, turned, and unfolded a pair of great desolation wings.

When Su Lie gave her the new task, she was interviewing new Vassals in the Guard Zone.

This batch of Vassals had already passed the review of the territory's recruitment staff, followed by sequential reviews by Lin Xi, Mi Li, and the others, before finally being permitted to use a vassal recruitment scroll to arrive at Su Lie's territory.

Currently.

There were exactly ten thousand newly arrived Vassals queuing in the territory, waiting for Su Liya's review.

Everyone had already received reminders from Lin Xi and the others when they arrived.

Therefore, this batch of new Vassals was extremely quiet and obeyed the rules.

They stood honestly in the line, waiting for their numbers to be called.

Beside the queue, Zhang Lin, Ye Menglong, and others were leading a squad of Little Skeleton warriors, standing nearby with weapons, maintaining vigilance over the new Vassals in the line.

This made the newly arrived Vassals even more reserved.

However.

Joining Su Lie's territory meant freedom from worry about food, leveling up, and safety.

After experiencing hardships of life and death.

For the sake of "living," they were naturally willing to wait.

Soon.

Su Liya appeared on the territory's teleportation array.

This made the silent queue become more active.

She nodded toward Zhang Lin and Ye Menglong and proceeded directly to a temporary interview location constructed from military tents.

Here.

Liu Bowen, who was a Salesperson, and Hu Youshan, who was an Diplomat, were sitting on either side of the interview supervisor's chair, with stacks of new Vassal documents and files placed in front of them.

After Su Liya sat down, she glanced down at a document on the desk before calling out the next applicant: "Next! Lu Wenhua!"

Swish!

A woman wearing tattered clothes, covered in dirt, and with hair that looked like it had been chewed by a dog walked in, her eyes filled with intense vigilance: "Hello! My name is Lu Wenhua! My profession is Thunder-Fire Talisman Master!"

...On the other side.

After Su Liya left.

Su Lie suddenly grabbed Qin Yu's hand.

This made Qin Yu tremble, and she instinctively tried to pull her hand back, her heart pounding wildly.

She thought of her frantic remarks earlier.

This instantly made Qin Yu's cheeks turn red like a monkey's backside.

"Lord! It's too dirty here! Can we... go back... please?"

When she looked up, two streams of tears appeared in her eyes, and she spoke somewhat tremulously.

Standing in front of Su Lie, she felt an inexplicable pressure.

This caused her, who had just rejected Su Lie, to be extremely worried and fearful.

"He wouldn't try to reveal his barbaric nature, would he?"

"Here... I really cannot accept it!"

"It's too dirty!"

"C-c-can I say that everything I said before was just a joke?"

"I haven't prepared myself to be your concubine yet!"

"Wuu! Wuu! Wuu!"

"What should I do?"

...Qin Yu's internal thoughts were quite complicated.

Su Lie was stunned; he hadn't expected to actually hear Qin Yu's thoughts: "What is going on? I don't have Mind Reading!"

"Could this be the effect of the massive difference between our Spirit attributes?"

He turned his head and looked at Qin Yu.

Plop!

Qin Yu frantically stepped back, her tears immediately falling: "Please! Don't... not here! Okay!"

"Silly girl! What are you thinking about!"

Su Lie glared at Qin Yu and flicked her forehead: "What kind of filthy things are you thinking about all day long in that head of yours! Am I, Su Lie, that kind of person!"

"Yes! Yes! You are!"

Qin Yu froze, and as she looked at Su Lie, she subconsciously responded internally.

Su Lie "heard" all these thoughts.

This left Su Lie speechless.

Qin Yu looked at Su Lie in surprise and asked: "What do you want to do?"

As she spoke, she wiped her tears and snot with her sleeve: "That should disgust him, right!"

"I'm taking you into an invisible state; entering the mine this way will avoid a lot of trouble!"

Su Lie couldn't stand letting Qin Yu continue overthinking, so he quickly stated his objective.

Of course.

Although what he was about to do was similar to invisibility, it was the higher-level Invisibility Rule.

He had already tested this rule in the Great Dream Illusion Heaven through Qiqi.

It was indeed possible to let a companion enter this state by holding hands.

"Ah!"

A sudden, endless sense of disappointment rose in Qin Yu's heart, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "How could it be like this?"

By the time she realized she had spoken incorrectly.

The blush on her face had already spread down to her earlobes.

"No! No! No! I meant that's really wonderful!"

Qin Yu shook her head repeatedly, feeling somewhat flustered.

Her heart started to feel sour again: "What a pity!"

"To be honest, a man like the Lord is not unacceptable!"

"But why does he have absolutely no interest in me?"

"Why?"

"Aren't these 36D headlights bright enough?"

"Is my figure not attractive at all?"

"Hmph! What kind of taste does the Lord have!"

...This series of internal monologues.

Made Su Lie feel somewhat caught between a rock and a hard place.

If he took a step forward!

He would be a beast!

If he took a step back!

He would be worse than a beast!

Su Lie glared at Qin Yu with a cold expression, grabbed her small hand, immediately activated the invisibility ring, and dragged Qin Yu forward.

Qin Yu felt like a ragdoll, completely unable to resist Su Lie's pulling; she could only trot along after him.

Even so.

She still felt that she was increasingly unable to keep up with Su Lie's pace.

Just as she decided to stop moving, hoping to force Su Lie to halt.

She was shocked to discover that she had turned into a kite.

"Holy crap! Do I weigh nothing at all in his hands?"

Qin Yu floated in mid-air, secretly exclaiming while closing her eyes.

Because the wind generated by Su Lie's walking stung her eyes.

And she couldn't see the surrounding path clearly either.

Su Lie did not stop after hearing Qin Yu's words.

Only then did he realize.

It was precisely because his attribute values had reached an extremely high level.

That he felt no burden whatsoever from dragging heavy objects.

Under his immense strength, Qin Yu was like a paper doll.

Just like this.

Su Lie walked through the underground mine for one minute until he arrived at a three-way intersection.

Only then did he stop.

The floating Qin Yu was gently set down on the ground by Su Lie's power.

"Which way do we go?"

Su Lie asked.

Qin Yu stared at Su Lie in awe, and her internal thoughts became active again: "Holy crap! This man is too powerful!"

When she had stood at the entrance of the mine, she had sensed this three-way intersection, and based on her experience.

This location was a full three kilometers from the mine entrance.

She had actually "floated" the entire way.

And landed smoothly on the ground.

This level of control!

This level of boyfriend power!

This... "Being his girlfriend must be so blissful!"

Qin Yu blinked back at Su Lie, then immediately pointed toward a small path on the left: "Master! About ten kilometers in from here is the location where the treasure aura is emanating!"

Su Lie ignored Qin Yu, and after receiving the information, he dragged Qin Yu toward the end of the passage again.

This path was relatively narrow.

By the time Su Lie reached the ten-kilometer mark, five minutes had already passed.

Here, there was a small cave chamber about five or six square meters in size.

The chamber walls were solid rock, and the floor was soft sand.

Su Lie summoned two Blood Demon and gave each of them a shovel.

Before long.

After the Blood Demon dug three meters, a glittering golden Treasure Chest appeared in Su Lie's line of sight.

Seeing the Treasure Chest, Qin Yu excitedly said: "Master! Master! That's it! Quickly see what's inside!"

"Mhm!"

Su Lie nodded.

He used his Identification Talent on the Treasure Chest.

[Buzz!]

A panel popped up from the Treasure Chest.

[Box Realm: A Minor Cave Heaven, containing a fragment of a world. Perhaps there are aberrant monsters, perhaps there is a ruin, or perhaps it is a place of opportunity... In short, the Box Realm is a self-contained Cave Heaven with its own rules, and only those who enter can know its secrets.

Warning: The Box Realm is a product of special rules. If it is moved or opened using the wrong method, the Box Realm will automatically be destroyed.

Warning: The time ratio inside the Box Realm compared to the Mist Main World is 1:1;

Warning: Every Survivor who successfully enters the Box Realm will receive a reward from the mist rule, because you have brought the mist rule's tendrils into an unfamiliar Cave Heaven.

Warning: Every Survivor who successfully clears the Box Realm will receive a reward from the mist rule.

Warning: The method to open the Box Realm is to pull the ring on the side of the Box Realm!]

"Wait!"

After reading the panel, Su Lie immediately stopped the Blood Demon from taking their next step.

The Blood Demon had already excavated the outline of the box.

Su Lie's voice caused them all to halt their actions.

"Go back!"

Su Lie recalled all the Blood Demon back into the blood demon purple gourd.

Qin Yu, standing nearby, asked confusedly: "Is there a problem?"

"Yes! This is a Box Realm!"

Su Lie told Qin Yu the information he had seen.

Immediately following this.

Su Lie attempted to Enhance the Box Realm.

[Buzz!]

[Your power has not yet touched the rules; this Enhancement failed!]

"Huh?"

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

This made Su Lie's mind become active: "The prompt didn't say I couldn't Enhance it, but rather that the Enhancement failed because my Enhancement Talent hasn't become a Rule Talent yet!"

"But how do I transform the Enhancement Talent into a Rule Talent?"

This attempt showed him a potential path for upgrading his Enhancement Talent.

After thinking it over.

Su Lie found the pull ring on the side of the Box Realm.

This Box Realm only had one pull ring.

The ring was shaped like a purple bauhinia flower, and where it connected to the box, there was a golden dragon-head beast swallowing motif.

After hearing this, Qin Yu quickly grabbed Su Lie's clothes, excitedly saying: "Master! Please take this one to experience the Box Realm!"

She seemed to turn into a cat, hanging directly onto Su Lie's back.

Su Lie was utterly speechless: "Then you better hold on tight!"

As he spoke.

He pulled the ring.

Buzz!

The next second.

The light and shadow flashed before Su Lie's eyes.

He vanished from the spot.

In the pitch-black tunnel, only a Teleportation Mark flashed briefly before disappearing after Su Lie vanished.

When light reappeared before Su Lie's eyes.

He was standing on a low hill.

Beneath Su Lie's feet was a hexagram teleportation array.

The hill was made of rock, and the surroundings were covered in dense, withered bones.

Surrounding the hill was a desolate plain.

"There's nothing much here either?"

Qin Yu, still clinging to Su Lie's back like a turtle, curiously peeked around.

This place was different from what she had imagined.

There were no beautiful sights, no buildings.

Only a desolate plain and the dense skeletons covering it.

[Buzz!]

At this moment, the reward from the mist rule appeared in Su Lie's and Qin Yu's line of sight.

[Congratulations on successfully entering a Box Realm!]

[Reward: 1 million Mist Points! 500,000 Experience Points!]

[Warning: The mist rule is currently invading this world. The changes caused by the rules' assimilation will trigger the aberration of the world's life forms. Please be careful to hide!]

Su Lie's mouth twitched as he looked at this prompt.

He couldn't help but look up toward the sky.

He saw a patch of gray cloud appearing on the bright horizon.

This patch of gray cloud was rapidly spreading and staining the entire heaven, like ink dropped into clear water.

"Giggle! Giggle! Giggle!"

Just as Su Lie was carefully sensing this change.

A strange sound came from behind him.

Su Lie turned his head and couldn't help but jump in fright: "Holy crap!"

He saw that.

Qin Yu, who was already standing on the hill, was undergoing some kind of aberration at this very moment.

Her head was slowly twisting ninety degrees, and her skin was becoming ulcerated and swollen.

Moreover, her body also began to rapidly grow taller and more bloated.

This resulted in.

Her clothes being torn apart by her aberrant body due to this transformation...
