554: Chapter 554 The Alliance of Succubi

Hearing this, the succubus looked at Nie Ning in surprise.

"I haven't seen you in a while, how did you suddenly learn to speak human language?"

Relying on Isidor being around, this brat used to mock and sneer at her. Seeing him like this now made her somewhat unaccustomed to it.

It seemed that being captured by the Mutated Giant Dragon last time had a huge impact on this brat.

Nie Ning was covered in black lines, but he still forced a smile.

"What are you talking about, My Lord? Previously, it was this humble one who didn't know any better. A powerhouse like you, who possesses both strength and beauty, rightfully deserves everyone's adoration."

The succubus clicked her tongue in wonder inwardly; this brat seemed to have changed a bit too much.

However, the succubus didn't dwell on this too much. With her arms crossed over her chest, she looked at Nie Ning with a calm expression.

"I came to ask where that Mutated Giant Dragon went. Since you were able to escape, you should know where that dragon is hiding, right?"

That Mutated Giant Dragon was clearly not ordinary, being not a bit inferior to the Abyss Demon Dragon she knew.

If she could capture this Mutated Giant Dragon, she would be able to walk sideways even in the Abyss.

Hearing this, Nie Ning instantly recalled the fear of being dominated by the Mutated Giant Dragon.

He had managed to escape while the other party was sleeping.

Although he didn't know if it was intentional, he had already obtained the other party's genes, so naturally, there was no need to go looking for trouble with them again.

In case the other party went beastly wild again, with his frail little body, he probably wouldn't be able to leave this world alive.

"I was dropped halfway by that Mutated Giant Dragon, and I barely survived inside the encirclement of sea beasts, so I have no idea where that Mutated Giant Dragon went at all."

Nie Ning spouted nonsense with a hint of apology.

Anyway, it was impossible for him to go looking for that dragon again; at least before reaching Tier 9, he wouldn't even dream of it.

The succubus stared fixedly at Nie Ning, trying to discern some clues from Nie Ning's eyes.

But Nie Ning wasn't lying for the first time either.

Even if the succubus detected slight mental fluctuations from Nie Ning, it was still very hard to judge whether what Nie Ning said was true or false.

Of course, it was mainly because that old immortal Isidor was staring nearby, making it impossible for her to unleash her myriad abilities no matter how capable she was.

Seeing that she couldn't extract any words from Nie Ning, the succubus could only choose to settle for second best.

"Recently, we discovered another Tier 9 exotic sea beast whose strength is much weaker than that Mutated Giant Dragon. Are you interested in pulling off a job?"

Isidor's attitude toward Nie Ning was very subtle, so she could just use this to probe.

Hearing this, Nie Ning's eyes lit up.

Isn't this a great opportunity to test the problem?

Now that he couldn't deduce whether the Mutated Giant Dragon was a native creature, perhaps he could try hunting other Tier 9s to test it out.

"What a pity, I don't have time. I will be leaving this place in the next few days."

On the surface, Nie Ning wore an expression of regret, but secretly he transmitted his voice to the succubus, informing her about the Teleportation Array.

Isidor was a Tier 9 powerhouse after all, and there were no intelligent living beings here, which caused Isidor's interest in this place to drop drastically.

Going to hunt the Mutated Giant Dragon before was already giving a lot of face; if Isidor were asked to continue hunting Tier 9 sea beasts now, the other party would most likely not agree easily.

In that case, it would be better to let the succubus directly destroy the Teleportation Array to delay the time it took for them to leave this place.

The succubus looked at Nie Ning in some surprise, failing to understand why Nie Ning wanted to do this.

The importance of the Teleportation Array went without saying; it was their only way to leave this place. Even if they completely mastered this world, they would still need to rely on the Teleportation Array to leave.

Otherwise, if she relied solely on flying, even given ten thousand years she might not necessarily find the location of the Abyss.

Yet this guy actually told her to destroy the Teleportation Array!

Weren't they worried about not being able to leave this place?

Could it be that being captured before caused him to suffer some kind of trauma and his brain went wrong?

But she didn't know that Nie Ning only needed to acquire the world rune to control the world core.

Then, using the items given by Claude from the Yin-Yang Sect last time, he could re-locate the coordinates of Belvis World, and the powerful Power of the World would be enough to tear open a spatial rift for him to return.

By then, who would care about the life or death of those people from the Nales Church? He would be overjoyed to be trapped to death here.

"In that case, forget it. Without you guys, we can just split a bit more resources."

The succubus stroked her hair, and after speaking, she turned and flew away from this area.

Gazing at the succubus's receding figure, Nie Ning didn't know what the other party would do, but for now, all he could do was wait quietly.

It was a pity that his own strength was insufficient, and he hadn't considered that the Capybara would find such a dangerous world.

He could only say his luck was bad. If it were any slightly weaker world, he wouldn't have been in such a passive state, and the most crucial thing was that he had even lost his chastity!

Unlucky!

...

There was no movement at all over the next two days.

Nie Ning even thought that the succubus had no intention of destroying the portal at all.

But when time reached the third day, the air revealed a trace of an unusual aura.

At this moment, Isidor found Nie Ning with a gloomy expression.

"The world core has been activated, and the time for us to leave needs to be postponed."

Hearing this, Nie Ning couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The world core usually wouldn't be activated. Just like when they entered Lata World initially, they were still able to use the portal normally at first.

However, once most living beings in this world realized the danger, the world core would be activated by the will of the native living beings, thereby carrying out a spatial lockdown on the entire world.

But this world had no intelligent races, so naturally it was very difficult for them to unite.

Moreover, the scope of the aquatic world was even larger than it appeared on the surface, and most living beings wouldn't realize that external creatures had broken in here.

"Could it have been activated by the apex predators of this world?"

Nie Ning asked with a frown.

Apex predators all possessed the ability to command hordes of beasts.

If there was an apex predator taking the lead, activating the world core would be a normal matter.

Now the problem was, this situation was obviously unfavorable to them, because they had no idea how many apex predators this world had.

Furthermore...

It didn't come sooner or later, but right at this time—it was hard not to suspect that the succubus was up to mischief.

"I don't know. The time we've spent exploring is too short; perhaps the world core here is different from conventional world cores."

Isidor said in a deep voice, without suspecting Nie Ning in the slightest.

Because as long as they were a normal person, no one would choose to directly activate the world core. Even creatures like Abyss Demons would initially choose an approach of slowly encroaching upon it.

Of course, it was also possible that the descent of the three Tier 9 powerhouses had made this world feel a crisis.

After all, the universe was too vast, and anything could happen.

"Then what should we do now?"

Nie Ning hurriedly asked.

Although he managed to stay behind smoothly, if he encountered a siege by hordes of beasts, his subsequent plan simply couldn't be completed.

At least according to his previous plan, it was to first acquire the world rune, and then find the location of the world core.

Taking advantage of the fact that the apex predators of this world hadn't reacted yet, he would let the three Tier 9 powerhouses attract the attention of the guardians, and then seize the opportunity to complete his own plan.
