Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1048, Phase 2 Unlocked

Crossing the street, the street lights ahead were bright, and residents were gathered in groups of three or four to enjoy the cool air and chat.

The bards stood under the street lights, like a natural stage. Some recited poems aloud, while others performed popular dramas on the island in groups, and bursts of applause broke out from the surroundings from time to time.

There are also various vendors carrying shoulder poles and selling various local snacks. Although they are not as dazzling as those in the modern world, they also have strong local characteristics.

As the crowd grew, Lilith paused and tried to pull back her clenched hands, but Wu Heng still held them.

"There are too many people! It will have a bad influence." Lilith said in a low voice.

"We're already in disguise, what are you afraid of?" Wu Heng smiled, but pulled her closer, leading her out of the street and into the crowd.

Lilith had no choice but to pull the brim of her hat down again and followed with big strides, but her earlobes were all red.

"Sir, please buy a flower for my sister!" A little girl carrying a flower basket suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, her eyes sparkling.

Wu Heng looked at the flowers in the basket and pointed at the brightest red rose. "I want this one."

"15 copper coins, sir!" The little girl took out the flowers deftly.

Wu Heng felt around in his space ring, but couldn't find any change. He simply took out a silver coin and said, "Let's buy one silver coin."

The little girl's eyes widened in surprise, and she immediately picked up a large bouquet of flowers and stuffed them over. "Thank you, sir! I wish you and your sister happiness!"

Lilith was caught off guard by having her arms filled with flowers. She lowered her head to smell them, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.

Then, he coughed lightly and put it into the space ring.

The flower girl left and the two continued on their way.

Lilith gradually relaxed and took his arm, and the two looked like a sweet couple on vacation.

When the dazzling lights of the entertainment city came into view, the people around were dressed in noticeably more luxurious clothes.

As they lined up to enter, the receptionist politely pointed to the paper bag of dried fruits Lilith had bought on the way and asked, "Would you like me to keep it for you, sir?"

Wu Heng picked up the last candied fruit and gently brushed the corner of her mouth with his fingertips, "You're not allowed to take anything inside, so eat it!"

"You really are..." Lilith glared at him angrily, opened her mouth to eat, threw the paper bag into the trash can, and then the two walked into the hall hand in hand.

The gaming area on the first floor was bustling with people, the electronic sounds of the gaming machines intertwined with the sounds of people laughing.

The two of them squeezed in front of a machine and started playing.

They played until late at night before going up to the observation deck on the top floor of the entertainment city.

The lights of the entire Treasure Island are in full view, as if the stars in the sky have fallen into the mortal world.

The wind blew by with a slightly salty coolness, and Lilith's long skirt swayed in the wind.

"Lilith!" Wu Heng called softly, "You are so cute tonight."

Lilith, who was lost in thought while gazing at the night view, froze noticeably. "You mean masks? So you like that kind?"

Wu Heng turned sideways, gazing at her with burning eyes, "I'm talking about you. You're so cute."

Lilith looked a little bewildered, her ears were red, and she opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Wu Heng had already lowered his head and kissed her.

Umm~!

Lilith subconsciously pushed his chest lightly, but her fingertips gradually lost strength, and finally her arms fell limply on his shoulders.

The sea breeze tangled their hair together.

Gradually, more and more people came to the observation deck, mostly couples.

Soon, the two separated and Lilith's eyes widened. "Did you bite me?"

As he spoke, he glanced around and realized that many couples had come to the rooftop. Each pair kept a perfect distance from each other, whispering in each other's ears or kissing passionately.

The temperature on the entire rooftop felt much higher than outside.

"Let's go! It's so weird here!" Lilith grabbed Wu Heng's hand and was about to leave.

Wu Heng held her burning fingertips and whispered, "I've booked a room on the fifth floor. Can you take a rest for a while before going back?"

Lilith's steps suddenly stopped. "Are you tired?"

"Let's go!" Wu Heng took her hand and walked downstairs.

Swipe the card to open the door.

The door closed softly behind him with an almost inaudible click.

Before Lilith could stand firmly, she was pushed against the door panel by a gentle force.

Wu Heng casually pulled off the Faceless Mask and put it into the space ring. He ran his fingers through her long hair and lowered his head to kiss her again.

This time, in a private space, Lilith's response was obviously much more enthusiastic.

She stood on tiptoe awkwardly, wrapped her arms around his neck, and her eyelashes fluttered slightly.

When the two separated slightly for breath, "Wait!"

Lilith also took off her mask, which was a silver mask with dense patterns on it. When she took it off, ripples like water appeared on the surface.

As the disguise magic was lifted, her long brown hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her beautiful face was revealed again.

Wu Heng reached out and gently stroked her cheek, his thumb caressing the blush, "You are so beautiful."

Before he could finish his words, a kiss had already landed on her slightly opened mouth.

Wu Heng fumbled for the ties on her back and tried several times to untie them. Lilith pushed him away and said, "You're so stupid."

With a pull of his backhand, the ribbon came untied.

The long skirt fell apart like petals, revealing her skin as white as jade.

Wu Heng admired the body in front of him. From the delicate collarbone to the slender waistline, every inch looked like the most perfect masterpiece of the Creator.

Lilith looked up at him, his eyes obsessed with her.

Shy, yet secretly happy.

He is indeed a little boy, so obsessed with himself.

Wu Heng gently picked her up and walked towards the bed.

The bedside lamp was dim, and Lilith looked shy and timid, pursing her lips, completely losing her usual cold and distant look.

Wu Heng stared at the female leader who was feared by the whole world. His eyes were like water and his snow-white skin was flushed like peach blossoms.

This strong contrast gave him an indescribable sense of conquest, just like taming a proud snow leopard.

After admiring it for a while, I saw that Lilith was about to get angry.

He gently lifted the delicate jaw with his fingers, then leaned over and kissed it lightly.

Lilith let out a soft sigh from her throat.

Then, Wu Heng grabbed her hands and lifted them above her head, and then lowered them along her neck like falling plum blossoms.

Lilith's body trembled slightly, and she suddenly arched her waist...

"Enough! Enough!" Lilith's voice was filled with panic.

Wu Heng's hot breath sprayed on her ear, "I love you~!"

In the dim light, the figures of the two were reflected on the wall.

Lilith's slender neck curved gracefully, leaning back like a dying swan, while Wu Heng's broad back cast a powerful silhouette on the wall.

……

early morning.

In the large bathtub, Wu Heng leaned against the wall with Lilith in his arms.

The girl's ivory skin was faintly pink, and her wet hair was sticking to his neck, gently fluttering with her breathing, bringing a slight itch.

"What time is it?" Lilith raised her face in a daze, her flushed cheeks still showing lingering passion.

"It's still early." Wu Heng tightened his arms around her waist and pushed the girl who tried to get up back into his arms.

"You..." Lilith glared at him in embarrassment. "Hasn't this been enough?"

Although she was scolding, her tone was different from Lilith's in the past, very soft and gentle.

Wu Heng smiled and said, "Even if you act like a spoiled child, I won't let you get up."

"Who's acting like a spoiled brat?" Lilith opened her mouth and revealed two vampire fangs. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll bite you."

Wu Heng complained, "I just miss you. It's been so long since we last met."

Lilith was stunned, her fangs retracted, and she gently sucked his earlobe and murmured, "Little boy."

Both of them are heroes, and they can maintain a constant supply of physical strength, so they can be said to be a perfect match.

Actually, if you think about it, the two of them have known each other for quite some time.

From the beginning, he only wanted to cling to Lilith and ask her to help him contain the "Secret Society", to the later alliance.

He was also the first hero Wu Heng came into contact with.

Later, Lilith temporarily lived in Treasure Island, and their relationship quickly heated up. When Wu Heng went to the vampire territory to rescue Lilith, he finally conquered this cold leader all day long.

Then, the water ripples gently, and the skin touching each other quickly heats up.

Ding dong~!

The sound of text messages broke the ambiguous tranquility.

Wu Heng raised his hand and the mobile phone placed not far away flew towards him.

Unlock the screen, it's a message from Minnie,

The screen lit up, displaying a message from Minnie, "Master, are you still doing your Sha Qi Bone Forging normally today?"

The ghosts are all at home, which proves that Wu Heng also stayed in Treasure Island.

Therefore, I came here specifically to confirm the practice arrangements.

Wu Heng paused for a moment, his left hand still resting on Lilith's slender waist, his right thumb rapidly tapping the screen. "Get ready, I'll be right back."

"Okay, Master (w)." Minnie replied immediately with a cute emoticon at the end of the message.

He didn't even know how to type this kind of symbol.

As soon as I locked the screen, Lilith's warm breath touched my ear. "Who is it~! Sending a message so early?"

"Minnie asked me about my training when I go back." Wu Heng said honestly, and pinched her waist lightly.

Lilith stood up and tossed her long hair back. "The Island Master's schedule is really packed."

"Why! Are you jealous?" Wu Heng said with a smile.

Lilith said angrily, "Why should I be jealous? I don't care about you. Just arrange my time well."

"Well, you're so good!"

"Humph!"

The two came out of the bathroom and changed into new clothes.

Wu Heng put his arm around her waist and used [Teleportation] to first send Lilith back to the mansion, and then returned to the Island Lord's Mansion.

……

Island owner's mansion.

The flames in the furnace shot up into the sky, and the energy released by the burning rolled around, impacting the surroundings like a raging tide.

Wu Heng sat cross-legged in the middle, his skin covered with runes of "evil spirit and bone strengthening" painted by the Empress. These ancient symbols of unknown meaning flickered with his breathing.

Today's practice is completely different from usual.

Perhaps it was because my mind was clear last night, or perhaps the energy accumulated over the days finally reached a critical point.

The evil tornado that was originally swirling around suddenly shrank, turning into dozens of red and black energy torrents, which happily flowed into the body along the rune veins.

"Damn! So fierce..."

Wu Heng, who was practicing martial arts, suddenly opened his eyes.

He could clearly feel subtle explosions coming from all his limbs and bones, and every bone was greedily absorbing the energy pouring in.

The 'Xuan Niao Burning Pattern' reappeared on the surface of the skin and began to blend with the evil spirit bone-forging runes.

Those ancient runes seemed to be injected with new vitality, wandering and reorganizing on the surface of the body, gradually outlining a brand new pattern.

Wu Heng let out a low hum, and suddenly black and red aura gushed out from all the pores on his body.

When the new rune pattern is completed, the system prompt will appear immediately.

[Unlocked feature: Mysterious Evil Burning Mark.]

Wu Heng exhaled heavily, joy rising in his heart.

……

The violent suction force came to an abrupt end, and the surging heat wave dissipated like the tide, leaving only wisps of green smoke floating in the air.

Wu Heng shook off the dust on his body and walked out with big strides, with the red light still lingering around him.

"Owner!"

"Wu Heng, how is it?"

The women waiting at the door of the living room gathered around him instantly. Minnie stood on tiptoe with a towel to wipe the dust off his forehead, while Shannara asked from the side.

"Is the second stage completed?" The queen asked casually while standing at the back.

Everyone saw the scene just now and had some guesses in their minds.

Wu Heng smiled and nodded, "I have indeed made a breakthrough, but I haven't felt any specific changes yet."

"The second stage, with its evil spirit protecting the body, not only increases the skin's toughness but also strengthens the bones and muscles." The empress continued, "Find someone to try it with you so you can have a better idea of what to do."

Philippa rushed to the front and said, "I'll do it! I accompanied Wu Heng in the test last time."

"You?" Wu Heng glanced at her and tapped her forehead. "Your level is too low."

"Damn, you are insulting me, right?" Philippa pinched her waist and was pulled back to the crowd by Robert.

The empress continued, "Let's wait for the Wood Elf sisters to come back for the test. The level will be the most appropriate."

As he was speaking, the door was pushed open.

The wood elf sisters also walked in with dust hanging on their bodies. Their wheat-colored skin shone in the sun, and their muscle lines rose and fell slightly with their breathing.

Shannara was most familiar with the two sisters and said, "Don't take a shower yet. Accompany Wu Heng to try out the effects of the second stage!"

"Master, have you mastered the second stage?" Sister Eluria's eyes widened.

My sister Sylvain also said, "Wow, you are a great detective, as you learn so quickly!"

Wu Heng smiled and said, "Let's go and try it first."

"it is good!"

After that, they headed to the training room together.

Inside the training ground, three figures faced each other in a triangle.

The rest of the people stood at the door as spectators.

Clang!

The two sisters drew their swords at the same time, the elder sister held a long sword in both hands, and the younger sister held a long and short sword in both hands.

"My lord, we are here!" Eluria said, and the two sisters turned into two afterimages, rushing forward, and arrived at her side in the blink of an eye.

Eluria thrust her sword forward like a meteor piercing the moon, the tip of the sword pointing directly at her chest.

Woo~!

Bright red lines appeared around Wu Heng's body, and the murderous aura condensed into translucent armor, hindering the long sword that was thrusting forward.

Eluria frowned, and in the blink of an eye, she thrust out the second sword. Suddenly, a sword light burst out three inches away from her chest!

The sword energy barely pierced through the evil spirit and hit the skin.

Dang~!

There was a crisp sound of metal, sparks flew when the sword blade touched the skin, and the buzzing sound of metal made everyone's eardrums swell.

"So hard~!" The wood elf sister 'Sylvain' exclaimed behind him.
