A world made entirely of icy hues, with two figures, each standing on the edge of the Obscurantist Forest and the Dark Plains.

The two are looking at each other.

In Tang Qi's eyes, in addition to the blazing sun, what was reflected was a huge, gray-covered monster, its body was like a small mountain, but it had no limbs, no scales or feathers.

It's in a strange state, and it can't describe the creepy texture that makes people look at it, especially as it moves, the grayish white eyes, nose, mouth, skin, hands and feet...... All kinds of human, or animal organs, fell down.

The moment it smashed to the ground, it shattered, but no sound came out, only the gray-white aura rose and merged back into its body.

The only thing that can make people look at it is a "gray and white mask" that emerges from the center of its body.

Except for some traces of plaster casting, there were no traces of eyes, nose, or mouth.

But the strange thing is that Tang Qi can feel it, it is "looking" at itself.

And at the moment when the two looked at each other, they launched a sneak attack.

An unimaginable feeling swept through Tang Qi's body.

He suddenly felt the urge to never speak again, and his mouth seemed to be glued, unable to open again, unable to make a single sound.

At the same time, his eyes also showed signs of closing.

"It's robbing my ...... Express desire?"

Tang Qi's mind was full of this thought.

Exploded fragments of information were also received, much more detailed than the information provided by Amanda before.

[Transcendent Creature: Silent Beast.] 】

[Status: Attacking.] 】

[Information fragment 1: In the dark plains of the special secret realm, the most common and weakest kind of desire manifestation, it has a large but illusory body, it likes to launch sneak attacks on its prey, and its goal is to plunder the language, expressions, and movements of its prey...... and all other desires related to expression. 】

[Information fragment 2: The way it completes the hunt is to completely integrate the target into the body, which requires a touch, at which point it will become an entity from a state of 'nothingness' that cannot be attacked by entities, spirits, or even minds. 】

[Information fragment 3: In fact, all the embodied bodies on the Dark Plains need a touch to complete the hunt, the difference is that some powerful embodied bodies can make the target lose themselves between touches. 】

......

When the third fragment of information exploded in Tang Qi's mind, he could feel that one of his faces had stiffened.

Like the first face-pinching assignment by the most crappy sculpting art intern, stiff and stiff, unable to make any vivid expressions.

This stiffness was spreading to Tang Qi's limbs.

Bang!

In the midst of his thoughts, the magic power in Tang Qi's body surged.

But just like the Judgment, magic cannot drive out the terrible pollution.

The only good thing is that the magic stops the pollution from spreading.

The invisible pollution seems to be in a confrontation with the magic, and at this point Tang Qi is fully capable of returning to the forest of ignorance.

And he did make a similar move.

The "Silent Beast", which seemed to have been observing Tang Qi for a long time, seemed to have known his reaction for a long time, and at some point, its huge body suddenly left the boundary line of the plain and stepped into the forest of obscurantism, and its mountain-like body collapsed silently.

Then, the gray sky was full of gray and wrapped towards Tang Qi.

It has to complete the final procedure and eat the Donch.

When it attacked, it obviously didn't see it, Tang Qi's head was slightly lowered, and in a pair of eyes full of sun projections, the judgment had been withdrawn, replaced by a thick layer of mockery.

Tang Qi even took the initiative to plunge his palm into the collapsing gray torrent.

The moment he touched it, the "sense of nothingness" that made Tang Qi unable to do it disappeared.

Although Tang Qi still couldn't feel anything in the palm of his hand, he just felt a little cold and silky, but this did not affect Tang Qi pouring out all the magic power in his body, and following his fighting instincts, Tang Qi cast the "Fire Spell".

A transcendent flame mixed with the magic of the furnace is enough to burn away most of the weirdness on the mysterious side.

The void existence called the "Silent Beast", the moment it turned into an entity, Tang Qi's mind exploded with a fourth fragment of information.

"They're the fattest fuel. ”

In a simple sentence, it verifies Tang Qi's previous conjecture, and the "embodiment of desire" turned into an entity is more attractive than the living people.

If it was a higher-level "embodiment" such as the Eater Deer and the Screaming Bat, Tang Qi might need to weigh whether he would be forcibly deprived of those desires before burning the other party.

However, the weakest and most common "Silent Beast" in the Dark Plains, which was certified by Merlin, was not within Tang Qi's fear.

Facts have proved that in this world, there is no kind of weirdness without weaknesses.

In the state of nothingness, the Silent Beast, like other manifestations, is not afraid of any attack, and also includes the six-stage "Judgment", a skill that can kill professional-level powerhouses at a glance.

But once out of nothingness, it is the fuel that makes Tang Qi's heart flutter.

At this moment, at the border of the Obscurantist Forest, brilliant and dazzling "fireworks" bloomed, and the huge body of the Silent Beast was instantly burned to ashes, and in the fleeting illusion of nothingness, one after another figures like plaster cast flashed out.

These "humans" have their facial features, limbs, and even their torsos blurred.

No one can see any of the messages they want to convey in them.

"Prey that has been devoured in the past?"

Tang Qi looked at the fireworks in front of him, and suddenly remembered another message left by Merlin.

Unlike the "nodes" under the mountain, whether it is the Obscurantist Forest or the Dark Plains, they will reach out to the real world or an exotic world without authorization, and they will actively capture humans and other lives, throw them into the territory, and feed living corpses and "embodied bodies".

As I watched and sighed, the fireworks dissipated, and so did the terrible malice.

In front of me, a somewhat large "snowflake" fell down.

Before landing on the ground, he was pinched in his hand by Tang Qi.

"Masks?"

Tang Qi looked at the blank mask in his hand.

This mask, which had previously been worn on the face of the "Silent Beast", if it had a face.

He stared at the mask as he turned back into the forest, as he had done several times before.

A second earlier, he had killed a desire manifestation called the "Silent Beast" at the cost of his mana being emptied.

At the same time, there were some sequelae of pollution in his body, and Tang Qi's face was very stiff, and he couldn't spit out a word.

However, this did not prevent him from activating his special abilities, and the fragments of information about the mask were exploded one by one.

"Strange Things: Existential Mask ......"

"Huh?"

It was just the first fragment, the name of the mask, that made Tang Qi's eyes flash with surprise.

The mask was apparently the treasure that Merlin said would drop after killing the "Desire Manifest", and he had thought that since the manifestation was called the Silent Beast, the mask should also be called "Silence" or something.

But soon, as the fragments flowed out, the surprise in Tang Qi's eyes gradually turned into surprise.

[Strange Object: Mask of the Being.] 】

[Status: Normal.] 】

[Information fragment 1: A special strange thing produced in a special secret realm, it contains a trace of wonderful transcendent power, it can give the wearer some incredible abilities, such as imitating any object you want to imitate, it will express the corresponding characteristics, even if the imitation object exists in front of you, you can't distinguish the real from the fake. 】

[Information fragment 2: It has an upper limit, below the legend. 】

[Information fragment 3: It has a temporary uniqueness, one 'silent beast' dies, because of some unknowable rule, the rest of the silent beast will no longer be able to drop this mask until the dead silent beast is resurrected.] 】

......

Under a large tree that had been burned black but was returning to its original appearance, Amanda, who sensed the changes in the environment, slowly opened her eyes.

It's just that the next moment, what catches her eye is not the "male witch" she is gradually familiar with.

It was a tall man whose whole body was covered by old armor, and a terrifying but obscure aura kept pouring out of the armor.

For the first time, Amanda sensed the other party's realm information.

Legendary?somewhat similar, but seems to have fallen a lot.

Just when Amanda was surprised and was about to make a move, suddenly there was another change in front of her, the armored man turned into a cool witch in a gothic black dress, a pair of dark eyes were extremely attractive, but soon, the witch then changed, a short Lori, a funny skeleton pirate, a temperamental young man with glasses, and a half-human, half-sheep youth...... Even, it's a pot of pitcher plants with a large mouth.

Amanda, who had already guessed something, did not interrupt.

Soon after, a white mask was suddenly removed from a white palm, and Donkey reappeared in front of Amanda.

He looked surprised and thoughtful, pinching the "Existential Mask".

Seeing Amanda's curiosity, she smiled and handed over the mask.

As the first treasure dropped by a monster on the Dark Plains, Tang Qi had already experienced its wonder firsthand.

The power of the mask is undoubtedly very magical.

It's probably equivalent to a high-level "Transfiguration", and the kind that has no flaws.

The only drawback is that it has an upper limit.

That is, it cannot transform into a legendary-level creature.

The wandering knight Nicholas, who fell from the "legend", is precisely its limit.

Although Amanda is a cold girl and has experiences that ordinary girls can't imagine, as a smart "weird", it's natural to be curious about some incredible strange things.

Tang Qi didn't care about her, and let her slowly experience the effect of the "Existant Mask".

Regarding how to use "it" and how to safely cross the "Dark Plains", Tang Qi already has a case in his heart.

But before he could do that, he needed to regain his badly depleted mana.

As soon as he thought of this, Tang Qi sat down straight, leaned against the big tree, and entered a meditative state in an instant.
