22: Go straight to Huanglong

Shi Yan occasionally shot Shadow Spikes towards Red Lord, then picked up the black crystals from the dead black-robed figures.

Abilities: Elementary Head Transformation, Intermediate Blood Mark Control, Intermediate Panel Enhancement, Elementary Shadow Transformation, Moon Power (cannot be upgraded), Elementary Dan Pill Production, Intermediate Gloom Gas, Elementary Physical Enhancement.

After absorbing all the crystals, Gloom Gas also upgraded to Intermediate.

"You! If I could move, you'd be dead already."

Red Lord's face was distorted with rage, veins bulging on his head.

"Don't make excuses for yourself, a weakling is a weakling," Shi Yan said calmly, shaking his head.

Red Lord was fuming with anger, wishing he could rush out and beat Shi Yan, but unfortunately, he couldn't interrupt the ritual he was currently maintaining.

Since Shadow Spikes were too low level, they had no effect on Red Lord, and Shi Yan noticed this, replacing Shadow Spikes with the newly upgraded Gloom Gas.

Gloom Gas had now become a two-meter-wide gas cloud. Shi Yan shot the gas towards Red Lord, and the ground where the gas passed made sizzling sounds, corroding deep marks.

"How do you also have Gloom Gas?" Red Lord didn't have time to be shocked; a surge of Gloom Gas also erupted from his body. The Gloom Gas he shot was much less than Shi Yan's, but its color was even darker.

Red Lord shot his Gloom Gas at the Gloom Gas Shi Yan shot. The two gas clouds collided and consumed each other, but because Shi Yan's Gloom Gas was larger in quantity, some of it still hit Red Lord.

"Ah! Let's stop fighting! If you let me go, I'll tell you a secret."

Shi Yan ignored him and continued to mindlessly unleash skills on Red Lord. Since Red Lord couldn't move freely, he basically took all the skills, while Shi Yan could move freely and suffered no damage at all.

Soon, Red Lord couldn't hold on and was corroded into a white skeleton, all his flesh and blood eaten away.

The red altar also seemed to have lost its energy and slowly dimmed.

The offerings on the four stone pillars around the altar also turned into a pile of dust, as if hundreds of years had passed in an instant.

Shi Yan walked over and touched the black crystal; a cold current drilled into Shi Yan's body.

Abilities: Elementary Head Transformation, Intermediate Blood Mark Control, Intermediate Panel Enhancement, Elementary Shadow Transformation, Moon Power (cannot be upgraded), Elementary Dan Pill Production, Intermediate Shadow Gas, Elementary Physical Enhancement.

Gloom Gas had transformed into Shadow Gas, gaining a qualitative improvement overall, and its lethality was now stronger.

After searching the surroundings and finding nothing good, Shi Yan turned and walked out of the cave.

Then Shi Yan took out his phone and made a call.

Shi Yan arrived home and leisurely browsed the forum.

The forum had undergone a significant change. Before, it was filled with meaningless posts, but now there were many interesting things.

There were posts for help, team-ups, trades, introductions, and even mutual insults.

Shi Yan clicked on a highly liked post titled "Basic Introduction to Mystic Illusion World," posted by an LV36 user.

"If you can see this post, it means you have become an official player."

"To this day, humanity has not explored how vast the Mystic Illusion World truly is. The entire Mystic Illusion World has numerous regions, and you might not even be able to walk out of one region in a lifetime."

"And each region is divided into hundreds of paths, each path has hundreds of streets, and each street is comparable in size to our Blue Star."

Shi Yan was truly shocked when he saw this. Blue Star was the planet Shi Yan currently lived on, and this planet was already ten times larger than Earth before the transmigration.

"That world has countless species. Basically, any species you can think of exists in that world."

"Humans can be said to be at the bottom of the food chain in that world, but fortunately, our growth potential is very strong."

"Be extremely careful when you go to that world, and keep a low profile. Because a small doll you look down upon might be an existence you absolutely cannot provoke."

Shi Yan pondered upon reading this, wondering if he could gain her skills after killing the doll.

"Thump thump thump..."

A series of knocks on the door interrupted Shi Yan's thoughts. Shi Yan walked over and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was the woman from the Security Department who had visited before.

"What? Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?"

The woman was charming and seductive, gently twirling a jade-white index finger around her golden wavy hair, swaying slowly from side to side.

"Please come in." Shi Yan didn't refuse, allowing the woman into the room. After Shi Yan turned and closed the door, he sat opposite the woman.

The woman was dressed in an OL outfit, with a prominent bust, and her legs were adorned with faintly visible suspender black stockings. Her right leg was lightly crossed over her left, full of curves.

"Is there something you need me for?" Shi Yan smiled as he poured the woman a glass of water.

The woman gave Shi Yan a playful glance and softly said, "Can't I look for you if there's nothing wrong? Thank you for the performance today; I've been promoted."

"I help you, you help me, my name is Shi Yan." In the future, there will be times when I need your help too. A warm smile that could make women blush appeared on Shi Yan's handsome face.

The woman's charming face flushed, and she slightly squeezed her legs together. Shi Yan was simply too handsome, and combined with the aura accumulated from his various abilities, it was simply too overwhelming.

The woman said happily after hearing him, "My name is Wang Qian. If you need my help with anything in the future, you can tell me directly."

"I need you to tell me about all the dungeons that have occurred in the Mystic Illusion World." Shi Yan was not polite and directly demanded.

"All of that is no problem. I can even share all the dungeons we've collected with you, but in return, you'll have to tell me about the dungeons you experience in the future, just the content and tasks will suffice," Wang Qian said seriously, adjusting her posture.

"Of course, no problem." Shi Yan didn't refuse. After all, he only needed to provide content and tasks, which wouldn't expose his secrets, and he could also obtain all other dungeon content. It was an absolute steal.

"The transaction is complete, but I haven't given you your reward yet."

Wang Qian slowly stood up, her shapely legs wrapped in suspender black stockings trembling slightly. She walked with a cat-like grace to Shi Yan, slowly squatted down, and used both hands to gather her golden hair behind her head, revealing her fair earlobes hidden behind her hair.

Shi Yan raised an eyebrow, feeling that the service was quite thorough.
