In a hotel room.

Ling Chen opened his eyes suddenly, looked at his surroundings, and realized that he had returned to reality.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He slowly stretched out his right hand and shook it hard, feeling as if he had lost something and found it again.

This time, it was only one step away from real death.

At that time, everything inside and outside my body was in a mess. If I hadn't decisively exploded the healing spell, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on, even for those ten seconds.

Under such circumstances, once you faint, you may never wake up again.

This was the first time since he had grown up that he was in such an extremely dangerous situation.

Ling Chen looked at his right hand, then stretched out his hand to touch his chest, and couldn't help but said with lingering fear:

"That damn fiery power... would almost burn the heart into coke."

Thinking of this, Ling Chen's breathing became heavy and he took out a bottle of mineral water and drank a few gulps.

During the battle, Ling Chen had to be focused, and it could be said that he tried his best, even squeezing out the last bit of strength, to survive until the last moment.

At this time, recalling the situation at that time, Ling Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart.

The most important thing is that a strong desire for strength arose in my heart, and I never wanted to be suppressed to this extent again.

Ling Chen lit a cigarette and gradually calmed down his mood.

At this time, the body completely recovered, and after leaving the dungeon world, I immediately felt deeply tired.

The cigarette was less than half-smoked when Ling Chen put out the butt and lay on the bed and fell asleep.

It wasn't until he woke up at noon the next day that Ling Chen ran to the restaurant and ate a full meal before returning to the room to count the loot.

The first is merit points and psychic points. Both of them have some income. It cannot be said to be very generous, but it cannot be said to be small either.

By the way, because he used the escape prop, the third step of the main mission was judged as a failure, and there was no punishment or reward.

However, the main tasks of the first and second steps had been completed at that time, and the rewards had been distributed long ago, so this part of the income was not deprived.

Overall, this can be considered good news.

In addition, the "lucky gold coin" obtained from the bloody crystal was used once against the Hell Demon Sword, and there are still three remaining times.

Finally, there was a cursed item that he exchanged before leaving the dungeon.

"The Amulet of Restraint

Quality:D grade

Ability: After you hit an enemy, you can choose to use this spell to leave a mark on the enemy.

Explanation: Within five minutes, you can activate your ability at any time to turn the mark into an iron chain to bind the target.

Description: If the target's strength is lower than a certain level, it will be unable to move.

Note: The target can try to resist. Depending on the strength value, the speed will decrease to varying degrees.

Note: The mark can only exist for five minutes. Once the time limit is exceeded and the ability is no longer activated, the mark will automatically disappear.

Note: Only one mark can exist at the same time. After the ability is activated, a half-hour interval must pass before it can be used again.

Number of uses: 5/5”

To be honest, at that time, Ling Chen actually wanted to exchange for an escape prop or a healing spell to make up for this loss.

However, in order to purify the companion soul, he spent most of his contribution points very early and was unable to purchase some more expensive props.

The final part used to exchange for the "Restraint Talisman" is basically obtained by killing enemy contractors in the levels of the Land of Miracles.

As for the Record Stone captured, that part of the reward will only be distributed after the mission is officially completed.

Since Ling Chen's contribution value was too little, he had to settle for the next best thing and choose among low-priced props.

The "Restraint Talisman" chosen in the end is already highly practical and can be used to enrich his combat methods.

It is worth mentioning that fortunately, before Ling Chen discovered the purification method, he would stare at the exchange list every day, hoping to find clues on it.

Because of this, I can remember most of the content. Otherwise, it may not be possible to successfully redeem the "Restraint Talisman" in just ten seconds.

At that time, it will be equivalent to wasting part of the contribution value, which is undoubtedly not good.

After all, the contribution value is only useful in this copy. Even if it is accumulated in your hand, it cannot provide any actual help at all.

Soon, Ling Chen put the newly acquired "Restraint Talisman" into a blank page and converted it into instant combat power.

The built-in ability of this thing is quite good. If it were not used too few times, there should be a chance that it would be judged as a C-level curse.

Almost at the next second, Ling Chen suddenly felt the contract book shake slightly and received a message.

After checking it, the message was used to remind him that the friend application he submitted earlier had been accepted by Pandora.

Because Ling Chen left the dungeon early, he was unable to see the final direction of the mission. Moreover, he did not have time to discuss certain follow-up matters with Pandora.

After he woke up this morning, he immediately submitted an application through the Book of Contract, intending to contact Pandora.

After all, the contract between the two parties has not yet been fully reached, so it is natural for her to redeem her previous promise and join the Spider Web Guild.

In fact, if it weren't for his poor condition last night and because he was too tired, he would have submitted the application then instead of waiting until today.

The reason is not because he is in a hurry to join a new guild. After all, there is still a month until the next instance starts, so he just needs to join successfully before then.

The problem is that before Ling Chen left the dungeon, he clearly remembered that Pandora was not among the contractors gathered near the temple.

If she had not died unluckily, she would probably still be in the Land of Miracles at that time.

In other words, she has a great chance of encountering the extremely powerful Hell Demon Sword.

Or, it is more likely that she had already encountered the Hell Demon Sword and was killed by him. The longer she stayed in the Land of Miracles, the greater the chance of encountering the Hell Demon Sword.

Ling Chen didn't want to have his client killed after working so hard to kill Red Star, leaving him with no place to get the remuneration he deserved.

Because of this, after he woke up this morning, he immediately sent a message to Pandora to see if she was dead.

After receiving the response at this time, Ling Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. The previous efforts were not in vain and would not be in vain.

Later, Ling Chen and Pandora submitted the application together and started a voice call.

Ling Chen sat beside the bed, took a few puffs of cigarette silently and said:

"Something happened to me and I left the dungeon early. What happened in the end? Is everything going well?"

Pandora's calm and calm voice came over immediately.

"To be honest, it wasn't very good. In the end, there were only six contractors who returned to the temple alive."

Ling Chen closed his eyes and said slowly:

"This should affect the final evaluation of the mission."

"Yes, the small number of people means that the number of record stones brought back is also small. The completion of the task is very low, resulting in a significant reduction in the original rewards."

Ling Chen nodded silently and said nothing.

He knew very well that it was obviously because of the appearance of the Hell Demon Knife that the progress of the mission was messed up. And most of those guys who could not come back had died under this guy's knife.

After a while, Ling Chen said softly:

"However, the fact that you can receive my friend application is good news in itself. At least you are back alive."

Pandora sighed slightly and said:
Chapter completed!
