Chapter 1332 - 1332 1330 Mount

Chapter 1332: Chapter 1330: Mount Chapter 1332: Chapter 1330: Mount Since [Out-of-City Investigation] was the first exploration of the ‘Lost World’, unknown risks were immeasurable.

All teams venturing out were required to report extensive information in advance, including member details, anticipated investigation route, scope, and timing, and to undergo evaluation and approval by Father Lysos.

Currently.

Father Lysos was looking at the four young people before him, and he didn’t even glance at the intelligence report Han Dong had submitted before giving his approval.

The strength of this team was beyond doubt, not to mention that Han Dong and Green were the victors of the last game – the priest regarded them as a team on par with mythic powers.

However, considering ‘Green’, Father Lysos communicated with Han Dong privately through a psychic message.

“Are you sure you can control Green, preventing him from acting rashly?”

“Um, Green’s ‘Madness’ complements mine. I will use a ‘leverage point’ within to restrain Green’s dangerous ideas… This time, we’ll strive to bring back crucial intelligence.”

“I’ll give you a little something.”

With that said.

Father Lysos, due to personal reasons, grabbed the back of Han Dong’s right hand.

A surge of Dark Energy flowed into it, mingling with the ‘Crow’s Mark’ on his hand.

“Uh? There is also other Mythic Power that has been infused with Mimicry Power inside you, the Crow outfit, it’s incredibly exquisite… May I ask which Demon’s doing is this?”

“It’s not a Demon, it’s my mentor in the Holy City.”

Upon hearing this, Father Lysos’ pupils also flashed a hint of intrigued darkness, “Not bad, if this game allows you to regain authority, I am quite keen on visiting your Holy City.”

“Great! When the time comes, I shall personally welcome you and give you a tour of the Holy City.”

What Father Lysos granted was a kind of Mimicry Power similar to the ‘Bird Beak Doctor Outfit’, which can be extended or retracted at will.

Whoosh!

A black aura-emitting umbrella appeared in Han Dong’s hand, effectively blocking the sun’s rays.

Han Dong could also replicate the umbrella for his teammates by consuming his own energy.

…

“With Father’s help, we’ve got the sun-shading tool sorted.

This investigation might take a longer time.

We must prepare all sorts of supplies; does anyone have any ideas?”

Miss Helen promptly raised her hand, “I can handle this. As long as I have enough energy, I can produce supplies without limit.”

As she spoke.

A moist, translucent plant stem grew from her arm, bearing several fruits that resembled hearts.

“What is this?”

Viewing these heart-like fruits through the Demon Eye, one could see not only the rich energy but also threads of life force from the Dreamlands, with powerful analgesic and healing effects.

Green, unreservedly, grabbed a fruit and began to munch on it, juice splattering everywhere.

“Miss Helen’s fruits are truly delicious.

These can ensure we maintain optimal condition at all times when not in combat… This is indeed a rare delicacy from the Dreamlands.”

Han Dong’s eyes lit up, “Okay, then we just need to ensure Miss Helen eats and drinks well, and our ‘supply issue’ will be resolved.

Furthermore, considering we may encounter terrain and partially collapsed zones we have never seen before in the Lost World, it’s best everyone equip a mount with ‘universal capabilities’.”

No sooner had he finished speaking.

Green reached his arm into an indescribable body orifice.

With a powerful tug, he pulled out a [Yandaros Hound] of 3.5 to 4 meters in length from a dedicated compartment in the Abyss used for storing creatures.

Ashes scattered, fanged teeth aligned along its belly.

The hound gave off a feeling situated between reality and illusion.

Han Dong was quite familiar with these hounds, unique to Green, capable of easily tearing through and traversing space.

Originally, Han Dong had wanted to follow Green’s example and seek a contract opportunity on the hounds’ home planet.

However, considering the risks and the time, coupled with Count’s satisfying performance, Han Dong abandoned the idea.

Disregarding space, Han Dong didn’t see the Count as inferior to these hounds.

“Yandaros…”

Dumps and Helen couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat upon seeing the hound.

They knew very well where these hounds hailed from. The reason the planet that bore these hounds was called a [Forbidden Area] was well justified—likely only a madman like Green could gain recognition there.

Following closely.

Helen fell into a graceful sleep.

Whoosh!

A rift split open along her spine, tearing her jade back in two.

Neither flesh nor a dense array of skull heads, but rather a Portal leading directly to the Dreamlands.

Helen’s previously chosen ‘giant flower’ to travel to London City naturally wasn’t suitable for outside the city investigation—too conspicuous… What was needed here was a quiet and temperament-matching mount.

The portal corresponded to a part of the Dreamlands that Han Dong had never visited before—the Enchanting Forest-Dream Mansion.

A Nightmare creature, created by Helen using various nightmare materials and the remains of living beings, was slowly approaching the Portal.

Just when everyone thought it would be some monstrously bizarre life form,

A ‘Unicorn’ with perfect proportions stepped elegantly out of the portal.

Its hooves touching the ground produced a nightmarish fog with strong hallucinogenic effects, enveloping it in mystery.

The chameleonic fur,

The spiral unicorn horn crafted from Nightmare Diamonds, paired with Helen’s ability to invoke extremely rare Nightmare Secret Arts—

This Nightmare beast might not match the Yandaros Hound in offensive and mobility capabilities, but its comprehensive index was definitely no less.

“Dumps, would you like to ride with me?”

Helen, while stroking the soft mane, cast a flirtatious look toward Dumps.

“Thank you for the invitation, Miss Helen, but sharing a mount is not conducive to the squad’s overall mobility. It’s better to proceed individually for the initial investigation.”

Dumps manipulated a peculiar magic between his Fingers, weaving a rideable Flying Carpet.

“Hm? What was that just now?”

Green fixated on Dumps’ method of conjuring the Flying Carpet, catching a glimpse of something unexpected. However, when Green tried to observe carefully, the strange feeling had completely vanished.

Clap! Clap!

Han Dong forcefully clapped his hands to draw everyone’s attention.

“Now that everything’s ready, let’s officially begin the investigation.

We’ll start slowly leaving the city to get a feel for the outer city’s hostile environment.”

Having said this, Han Dong immediately sent a telepathic message to the somewhat unwilling consciousness within him.

“Count~ Hurry up!

Why throw a fit now? It’s just being a mount. With your abilities and level, you are surely the most incredible mount here!”

“I am meant to slay enemies, not to be ridden.”

When asked to voluntarily become a mount, the Count’s pride immediately resisted.

“How about this~ If you can accept being a ‘mount’ as a secondary role, the complete control over the ‘Necklace of Nether Blood’ will be yours. Furthermore, if there’s a chance to restore the necklace to its Legendary status, you will be in charge.”

“You promised!”

The Count, originally of the Blood Descendant lineage, had already experienced a transformation due to the ‘Dark Blood,’ even to the extent of no longer being classified as a Blood Descendant… but rather a novel Fresh Blood lifeform.

The Count’s consciousness had also been drawn by the necklace multiple times, venturing into a Different World known as ‘Horror Dawn.’

On London Street.

Han Dong began to run forward on his own.

Faintly, he could hear the baying of dogs emanating from his arms.

Flesh parted,

Fangs grew,

Crimson scattered,

A four-meter-long Bloodhound emerged and nimbly shouldered Han Dong onto its back, leading the squad toward the city gates.
