Chapter 380 Material Two

No one knows where dead angles originate, or why they occur.

But everyone knows that dead angles come in countless varieties: some are hidden, some are weak, some are powerful, and some are terrifyingly unreasonable.

Therefore, even the Shadow Dragon clan dared not rashly enter a completely unknown dead angle.

What's more, the secrecy of this particular dead angle far exceeded their imagination.

"We don't possess the dead angle sensitivity physique; I'm afraid we won't be able to sense and find that person in a short amount of time," Fane said in a deep voice.

"This is a dead angle hotspot; there must be individuals with extremely strong dead angle perception. We'll find Yi Huang!" Saar said coldly.

If his lifeblood was lost in a dead angle, it might be lost forever.

This would be a huge loss for him.

Especially since the man from before had fused with the largest portion of his lost lifeblood.

"We must find someone to help as soon as possible!!" Ying said gravely.

Fengnan Province, provincial capital, Nanzhou.

Night.

A grand and terrifying magic show came to an end.

Groups of audience members left the venue, sweating and clenching their fists tightly.

After the intense emotions came a deep sense of exhaustion.

Backstage, inside the performance tent.

Li Cheng颐 gently wiped the stage blood off his face with a makeup remover wipe.

This time, the accumulation of evil thoughts was completely fulfilled.

All the evolution conditions for the crape myrtle were met. The evil flower imprint was glowing with a faint purple light, indicating that the evolution was about to be completed.

Li Cheng颐 was determined to upgrade the two divine skills, the Power of Floral Language and Good Luck, to the ultimate level as soon as possible.

The combination of these two would be of great use in both combat and exploring dead angles.

*Dudu.* Suddenly, his phone alerted him. Li Cheng颐 glanced at the caller ID; it was Rainbow Candy.

"Xing Tong, come help me remove my makeup," he instructed Zhou Xing Tong, who was standing nearby.

The latter took the makeup remover and stepped forward to begin.

Li Cheng颐 picked up his phone and opened the team channel.

"News from Andu: the Shadow Eater wants to make a deal with us, asking us to help find a dead angle person to prevent him from dying in a dead angle." – Rainbow Candy.

"Since it's the Shadow Eater himself who wants to cooperate, then tell them to come to Fengnan Province themselves," Li Cheng頤 replied.

"Is it safe for them to come here?" – Big Bear.

After all, the members of their team were not as strong as those on the Shadow Eater's side.

"It doesn't matter. It's a good opportunity for everyone to make contact and prepare for the future," Li Cheng頤 said.

It was rare to find Black Sea creatures who could communicate, even if they were three-headed shadow dragons. But allegiances were always changing.

Since they needed his help, he could take the opportunity to make some deals.

After all, he still needed a lot of miscellaneous materials to create imprint spheres.

"But what if they run amok and kill people indiscriminately... what do we do?" – Dragon Gate Crane worried.

"They certainly won't dare to come in their true forms, so it will definitely be a sub-body, like last time. The strength of such a sub-body is extremely limited. If we can't even handle a sub-body..." Li Cheng颐 didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

If they were that weak, they might as well die.

"Understood. I'll arrange everything properly and give them an unforgettable trip..." – Big Bear.

Ending the communication, Li Cheng頤 closed his phone.

He quietly closed his eyes and let Zhou Xing Tong take care of his makeup.

"Speaking of which, are you afraid? Xing Tong?"

He suddenly asked softly.

Zhou Xing Tong paused, then continued wiping.

"What does the boss mean?"

"Following a boss like me, coming into contact with this kind of world, full of dangers, struggles, assassinations... you must know a lot about the company's affairs now, right?" Li Cheng頤 said softly.

"Sometimes, I am a little afraid," Zhou Xing Tong said. "But I'm used to it now."

She looked at Li Cheng颐, who had his eyes closed and said nothing, and continued.

"Speaking of which, the boss's reputation has spread. But when I attended a class reunion last time, everyone thought you weren't you."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, they thought you weren't that ordinary Li Cheng頤. They thought it was just a coincidence of names. It was fun listening from the side," Zhou Xing Tong smiled.

"You guys are still having class reunions? Isn't it boring to go alone?" Li Cheng頤 also smiled.

"It's okay, mainly because Sister Chen Pi always drags me along." Zhou Xing Tong paused. "Now my family's financial situation is better, and I have enough money and don't lack anything. Everyone's attitude towards me is also different than before..."

She put down a makeup remover wipe and replaced it with a new one.

"Sometimes I think, people are really realistic."

"People have a realistic side and an idealistic side," Li Cheng頤 said.

"Chen Pi is Chen Yijun. Her dad even asked about your situation, boss. I didn't dare say anything and just said you were doing well and that the company you founded was pretty good."

"Professor Chen Bin..." Li Cheng颐 also recalled his first botany professor, the kind old man who introduced him to a job.

Listening to Zhou Xing Tong talking about ordinary, mundane life, Li Cheng颐's somewhat anxious mood gradually calmed down.

The rich coldness brought by Death also gradually faded with the peace of mind.

Although that kind of ordinariness was too far away from him now, it was the life he once yearned for.

Soon, the makeup was removed, and Zhou Xing Tong also stopped talking.

"Boss, I'll go prepare the car."

"Mm." Li Cheng頤 stood up and gently touched the evil flower imprint with his finger.

Instantly, information about the crape myrtle's evolution poured into his mind.

'Crape Myrtle: Second evolution 0%, evil thoughts 0%. Number of evolutions possible: 4.'

'Floral Language: Power of Language (increased range to thirty meters, consciousness consumption halved).'

'Floral Language: Good Luck (after evolution, the recovery cycle is confirmed to be one week, and the effect of Good Luck can be passively used once a week).'

Not bad, the increase in both floral languages was very practical. The consumption of the Power of Language was too great. When encountering an extremely powerful being like the Silent Angel, he would instantly exhaust his consciousness and wouldn't be able to control it.

Now that the consumption was halved, it could be said that the duration was greatly increased.

And he didn't know how to recover Good Luck before. Now, after evolution, he knew that the recovery time was one week.

He didn't care about the flower scale armor. Now, as long as it didn't evolve into the ultimate form, it couldn't be stronger than the sword orchid's ultimate form.

He had to take advantage of his current strength being temporarily sufficient and complete the preparations for the next imprint as soon as possible.

'One evolution completed, and next is the new floral language. There's still a lot to do...'

Taking out his phone, he quickly contacted the owner of Sindora.

"We've found some of the materials we need ourselves. In addition, I've contacted officials from the national treasury, and they've opened up a lot of military-controlled resources that can be exchanged and purchased for us. Now, basically, most of them have been found. Only three are missing; there's no record of them in the entire Earth-Moon system," Sindora replied.

"Which three?"

"The heart of an adult iridescent dragon, the breath of a swamp crocodile, and the heartwood of a rotten realm tree."

Li Cheng頤 guessed it would be these kinds. Just looking at the names, he knew they didn't exist in reality.

"Understood. I'll take care of it. Please send the remaining materials to the base,"

"Okay. They will arrive by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

Putting down his phone.

Li Cheng頤 was instead looking forward to the Shadow Eater's dragon coming.

Early the next morning.

Outside Suiyang, in a temporary mountain manor.

Li Cheng頤 saw Fane, one of the three shadow dragons who had come to negotiate, for the second time.

On the green lawn, Li Cheng颐 quietly watched him leap from the sky and land on the grass, shattering into countless black shadows.

Then the black shadows converged, restoring the humanoid appearance of the shadow dragon Fane.

"You have guts," Li Cheng頤 smiled and clapped. "Knowing that you might encounter danger, you still dare to come alone. Compared to your irritable trash Saar, you seem to be much stronger."

"There are no eternal enemies in this world. Since you agreed to discuss a deal, you definitely need something we can exchange," Fane was clearly much calmer and more mature than Saar.

"Speak, what are your desired deal conditions?" Li Cheng頤 said.

"Help us save someone, save a person named Barton from the dead angle," Fane said.

"Save someone from the dead angle? Do you know what dead angle it is?" Li Cheng頤 raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know, but none of the three of us can track him. Obviously, its concealment is extremely strong," Fane replied.

"I can agree to the conditions, but you have to trade these to me first," Li Cheng頤 handed over a list.

Fane took it and scanned it, and his expression changed slightly.

"The others are fine, but we don't have the heart of an iridescent dragon either. That's a dragon clan more powerful than our shadow dragons, and it's an ancient dragon clan that has been lost for a long time. Not to mention us, it's unlikely that ordinary Black Sea individuals have this thing."

"Then, what kind of individuals might have it?" Li Cheng颐 asked.

"It may exist in some dead angle ruins. You need to find it specifically. The place where iridescent dragons used to be most active was Midrarn," Fane replied.

"Where is Midrarn?"

"You must first open a Non-Gate to enter the Black Sea. Midrarn is a relatively well-known super-large dead angle in the Black Sea. It was once a huge space similar to yours, almost boundless, but now it's almost deserted," Fane explained. "An incomprehensible and terrifying disaster occurred there, and the world and time completely collapsed, becoming a tangled mess."

"You don't dare to go in either?" Li Cheng頤 frowned. "Aren't Black Sea creatures immortal? Are you still afraid of this?"

"Immortality means our flesh and blood are immortal, not our consciousness. And whether you can find an exit to leave after entering is also a problem, unless you want to self-seal yourself for tens of thousands of years. Otherwise, no one dares to approach that place," Fane replied.

He looked at Li Cheng頤.

"Forgive me for being blunt, but you haven't even opened a Non-Gate yet. Don't think about anything else first."

"Then how about this? Replace the condition of the heart of an iridescent dragon with helping me open a Non-Gate? After opening it, I will definitely help you save people," Li Cheng颐 relaxed the conditions.

"You have to save people first," Fane said dissatisfied.

"You must help open the Non-Gate first, otherwise I'd rather not make a deal. Anyway, you're not the only ones who can help me open a Non-Gate," Li Cheng頤 smiled.

Fane fell silent, looking at Li Cheng頤, seemingly hesitating and thinking for a moment.

But in reality, the shadow dragons had a special method of long-distance communication, so at this time he was actually discussing whether to agree with Saar and Ying.

After waiting for several minutes, Fane finally spoke again.

"Okay. But we'll only give one of the remaining materials."

"No problem." What Li Cheng頤 wanted was the opening of the Non-Gate. It was extremely difficult to open, and if the shadow dragons assisted, it would indeed reduce many difficulties.

After all, he had to come into contact with the Black Sea to complete the final step of the imprint.

So opening the Non-Gate was something he had to do sooner or later.

Opening the Non-Gate, finding the materials, completing the creation of the imprint sphere, and achieving a new imprint were his plans.
