Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

The woman looked at the dazed Wang Teng, smiled, and continued sliding her hands down her chest.

"Smack~!"

The next second, water splashed and waves surged.

The woman was slapped ten meters away.

Wang Teng's eyes simultaneously showed black ripples...

[Character: Enchanting Corpse Ghost]

[Level: Level 35]

[Martial Techniques: ???]

[Talent: True Meaning of Darkness (C-level), True Meaning of Water (C-level)]

[Origin: Former challenger of the Ancient Divine Hall, filled with lasting resentment after death, transformed into an Enchanting Corpse Ghost by a mysterious entity using the power of darkness, extremely fierce.]

Hmm?

Indeed quite fierce!

Wang Teng was somewhat surprised.

This was actually an Enchanting Corpse Ghost, with a combat power of up to 12000 points, much stronger than the Evil Ghost in Moon Exploration Ancient Town.

At this moment, the familiar mechanical voice provided a prompt.

[Bounty Hint: Congratulations, you have activated the second phase bounty of God Domain Evolution!]

[Hint: This bounty's reward is the Land Title of Moon Exploration Ancient Town, among other mysterious rewards.]

"Boom~!"

The release of these messages brought mixed excitement to Wang Teng.

The second phase of the bounty had finally been activated.

He no longer had to worry about the 12-hour activation opportunity time limit.

At the same time, all members of the Celestial Court also received this message, causing great commotion throughout the Celestial Court.

God Domain Evolution is an S-Level public bounty!

Thus, all members could see the information.

In an instant, the chat channel of the Celestial Court exploded completely.

"Damn~! It's activated! The boss finally activated the second phase of the bounty!"

"Yeah~! So exciting! The God Domain Evolution bounty can continue!"

"Guys, don't get too excited! Check out the bounty content first!"

"Hmm?! Damn~! Evil Ghost with 12000 combat power, three Sea King Beasts, and a mysterious entity with combat power over 40000 points? My God~! What...what kind of hellish bounty is this?"

"So twisted! Is this really a C-Level difficulty?"

"Yeah~! Boss Wang Teng is still at the Yellow Tier Realm, can he handle so many powerful evil spirits? Especially that last mysterious entity, over 40000 combat power, it's terrifying!"

"Yeah~! With such combat power, a breath could kill me!"

"Sigh~! It's better you didn't mention it, the more you say, the more anxious I become. I'm so worried about the boss!"

"Everyone, don't panic~! Do we not know the boss's strength? When has the boss ever let us down?"

"That's true! I believe the boss can succeed!"

"Exactly~! Everyone, don't stop striving to be stronger because of this. We must not hold him back. We will silently watch the boss's progress!"

Unknowingly, Wang Teng had become a god-like figure in the hearts of many members.

Everyone had absolute confidence in him.

...

At the same time, at the bottom of Heavenly Lake.

Wang Teng triggered the bounty opportunity, extremely delighted.

Just then, the Enchanting Corpse Ghost also sensed that Wang Teng had seen through her true form.

At that moment, her face had been slapped raw.

Streams of blood were constantly seeping out, terrifying to the extreme.

She instantly felt shocked.

How could this young man so easily see through her true form?

He was only Level 18!

You must know, even half-step Profound Tier powerhouses over Level 30 would be unable to escape her charm once ensnared.

Could this 18-level young man be stronger than those half-step Profound Tier powerhouses over Level 30?

Or, is he not a man?

"Chuckle~!"

The absolutely beautiful facial skin finally drifted off in the blood, revealing the stark teeth at the corners of her mouth.

In shock, the Enchanting Corpse Ghost touched her face.

"Ah~ ah~ ah~!"

Her absolutely beautiful visage had been destroyed by this loathsome man!

The Enchanting Corpse Ghost was instantly furious with shame!

She screeched, with her bloodied visage twisted horribly, erupting with overwhelming Yin energy.

Her delicate hands tore through the lake water, reaching directly for Wang Teng's heart.

She wanted to scoop out this loathsome man's heart and eat it!

She hadn't eaten a human heart in ages!

Besides, this Level 18 human had ruined her visage, which made her exceptionally furious.

Only by consuming this heart could she recover!

In the blink of an eye, her claw reached Wang Teng's chest, about to pierce into his chest.

"Buzz~!"

But at that moment, Wang Teng emitted a strong divine radiance throughout his body, like a blazing sun suddenly appearing in the sky.

"Roar~!"

A wail echoed across the lake bottom!

The Enchanting Corpse Ghost's claws were melting at a speed visible to the naked eye under the intense light, like candles burning in a great fire, quickly disintegrating...

In the blink of an eye, the whole ghost woman's red gauze tore apart, her body turning into chunks of blood mist, followed by her white bones breaking inch by inch, disintegrating completely!

A void!

The entire lake bottom was only left with a dazzling white light, which instantly surged into Wang Teng's body...

With the Enchanting Corpse Ghost's disintegration, a milky-white light swarmed into Wang Teng's body...

[Successfully killed Level 35 Enchanting Corpse Ghost! Gained +12000 Experience Points! Gained +150 Guardian Value!]

Not bad!

Killing an Enchanting Corpse Ghost actually granted 12000 Experience Points and 150 Guardian Value!

He was very satisfied with this.

Right! And this...

Wang Teng also found, after the Enchanting Corpse Ghost's death, a piece of gleaming white wood resembling Soul Wood, but this piece was unexpectedly transparent.

He picked it up readily, with black ripples flashing in his eyes...

[Jellyfish Soul Wood: High-level resource, can be used for artifact refining, also for construction, and is a bounty item.]

Exactly~!

This was one of the bounty items he needed to collect.

Wang Teng joyfully put away the Jellyfish Soul Wood, then retrieved the Storage Ring that had fallen to the lake bottom.

Before he could explore what treasures were inside the Storage Ring, the surrounding scene underwent another change.

Above the lake bottom, shark corpses fell downward.

The blood-red lake water engulfed the entire water area.

Wang Teng immediately activated his Water Talent, creating a small space by repelling the blood-red water within a meter around him.

As those shark corpses touched the corpses, they wilted rapidly.

One after another corpse opened its scarlet eyes.

The submerged corpses at this part of the lake bottom all awoke...
