The dark and secluded mountain cave held a truly eerie and horrifying sight: a decaying female head.

Zhang Yuanqing opened his palm, conjuring a golden flame like a fire seed, casting a soft, gentle light.

The primary purpose of igniting the golden flame was to provide illumination for the Elf King. The head on the stone bed was severely decomposed, with golden hair as dry as straw and eyes wide open in death, their eyeballs a greyish-white and lifeless.

The decaying face was a greyish-black. Zhang Yuanqing turned his head to look at the Elf Queen. "Who is she?"

The Elf Queen knelt on the ground, sincerely worshipping the head before answering Zhang Yuanqing's question.

"It should be the Goddess of Beauty."

The Goddess of Beauty? Zhang Yuanqing's pupils contracted slightly, shocked by the Elf Queen's answer.

He asked, seeking confirmation, "Is she the Goddess of Beauty from the myths of the First District?"

If it was that Goddess of Beauty from the myths, then this was no small matter, a demigod-level powerhouse.

The Elf Queen's voice was pleasant and gentle. "The secrets passed down through generations of the Elven race say so."

Zhang Yuanqing revealed a thoughtful expression and said, "Who killed her and cut off her head?"

The Goddess of Beauty was the embodiment of love and desire, as well as beauty. According to his uncle, the president of the Goddess of Beauty Association, the Succubus, was an absolute beauty that even the demigods of the evil faction couldn't bring themselves to harm, precisely because of her charm, which was practically a bug.

That was why the attack power of the Love and Desire profession was so weak.

What kind of existence could kill a demigod-level Love and Desire profession? The truth behind it was terrifying to contemplate.

The Elf Queen shook her head. "I don't know."

Zhang Yuanqing said, "Tell me everything you know, Elf Queen. If you are not sincere enough, you will never see tomorrow's sun."

The Elf revealed a look of fear and hurriedly said, "All I know are the secrets passed down through generations of the Elven race, but I cannot confirm their truth."

After a pause, seeing that the demon occupying Alice's body did not respond, she continued, "The ancestors of the Elven race can be traced back to ancient times. They were hunters living in this forest. One day, the ancestors were hunting in the mountains and accidentally witnessed the scene of the Goddess of Beauty being killed. A golden arrow pierced the Goddess of Beauty's chest, and a god with golden light all over cut off the Goddess of Beauty's head and disgustedly threw it into the distance."

"That's how the ancestor described it. Her words were passed down through generations of the Elven race." The Elf Queen glanced at the head in the distance by the faint golden light.

"The ancestor found the Goddess of Beauty's head and brought it back home. From then on, women possessed beautiful faces and seductive bodies."

"Men became slaves, tools for reproduction, serving the messengers of the Goddess of Beauty in the forest."

"After many, many years, the Elven tribe gave birth to the Elven race, guarding the Goddess of Beauty's head for generations, the secret only passed down among each Elf Queen."

No wonder the Elven race didn't allow their people to inquire about the source of the aphrodisiac gas. Their "divine power" originated from this head. Losing the head meant losing everything.

Zhang Yuanqing asked, "Who is the god with golden light all over?"

The Elf Queen said, "The ancestor believed it was Apollo."

Apollo? Zhang Yuanqing stroked his chin, racking his brains to recall the not-so-familiar Greek mythology.

In Greek mythology, Apollo was the sun god, the son of the god-king Zeus, mainly in charge of medicine, animal husbandry, music, navigation, migration, prophecy, and so on.

An all-rounder god, said to be exceptionally handsome, the dream lover of all goddesses. But Zhang Yuanqing didn't think that the one who killed the Goddess of Beauty was just Apollo.

Because Apollo did not exist. Among the many professions in the First District, there was no profession that fit the authority of Apollo. This was a fictional god.

Covered in golden light? Could it be the Day Wanderer of the Second District? Whether it was the golden arrow or the god with golden light all over, it fit the Day Wanderer profession.

But in the mythical era, how could the Day Wanderer have run to the First District?

The Vampire Augusto had said that Zeus mythology and Odin mythology, the two major factions, had a strong sense of territoriality and did not invade each other.

As one of the three major factions of The Way of the Extraordinary, the Day Wanderer should not run to the territory of other factions.

While thoughts were running through his mind, Zhang Yuanqing took out the Six Roots of Purity Bamboo and whipped the Elf Queen again, continuing her state of Six Roots of Purity. He suppressed the urge to ask the Elf Queen to whip him and restrained the price of the item. Holding the fireball in his palm, he walked towards the stone bed.

He placed his hand on the Goddess of Beauty's decaying head. After a few seconds, the item information emerged.

[Name: ?]

[Type: ???]

[Function: ??]

His rank was too low to be qualified to see.

Zhang Yuanqing was immediately speechless, feeling provoked by the remarks, but he also confirmed that the identity of the head was indeed the Goddess of Beauty's head.

Even with his rank, he couldn't view it. It could only be a demigod-level figure, even though she had died countless years ago.

Then, Zhang Yuanqing's finger touched the pearl necklace on the head's neck, and the item information emerged:

[Name: Sex Pearl]

[Type: Accessory]

[Function: Pleasure]

[Introduction: The accompanying pearl when a certain indescribable being was born. It holds the authority of intercourse between men and women.]

[Note 1: It will revive once every two hours.]

I remember that in Greek mythology, the Goddess of Beauty was born from a seashell. This pearl necklace is her accompanying item, very similar in nature to an accompanying spirit.

Well, the function is also similar, both very simple.

The effect of this kind of single-function item is often powerful to an excessive degree.

Zhang Yuanqing was about to take off the necklace when he caught a glimpse of the Goddess of Beauty's highly decomposed face. A pair of greyish-white, lifeless eyeballs moved, actually looking straight at him.

In the next second, a sharp mental roar came from inside this head that had been dead for many years.

"Apollo!"

Even Zhang Yuanqing, a dual-profession dominator with a strong soul, felt bursts of booming.

His head felt like it was being pierced by steel needles, incredibly painful!

Accompanied by this roar, the cave came alive. The stone shells peeled off, revealing fresh, red flesh.

The entire cave was like the cavity of some giant creature.

She's still alive?

Apollo? The person who killed her really was Apollo!

While Zhang Yuanqing was calming his turbulent spirit, he inevitably felt a strong sense of shock.

Is there really an Apollo?

He suddenly thought of an item, the Light Compass. He didn't know if there was any connection between the two, but judging from the meaning of the words, the Light Compass was the most likely evidence of the existence of Apollo.

According to the speculation of the current demigods, the Light Compass most likely came from the Third District, because the art of prophecy was not a skill of the professions in the First District and Second District.

So, the Apollo in Greek mythology, the Apollo who was good at prophecy, came from the Third District?

Why did he kill the Goddess of Beauty, who was also an orderly god?

Many doubts and speculations arose in Zhang Yuanqing's mind, but reality did not allow him to be distracted. The stone shells on the cave walls continued to peel off, and stones fell from the top of his head, revealing tender, red flesh.

The flesh sometimes swelled and sometimes contracted, constantly wriggling. Then, heavy breasts, full buttocks, and female reproductive organs grew out of the flesh, both erotic and terrifying and bewitching.

The breasts, buttocks, and reproductive organs were covered with dense spots, making one's hair stand on end.

The cave had been eroded by the aura of the head for many years, resulting in mutations.

He suddenly understood the reason for the production of aphrodisiac gas. After years of pleasure nourishment, the Goddess of Beauty gained nourishment and was resurrected.

"Save me!" A cry of alarm came from behind him.

The Elf Queen's feet were sinking into the tender flesh and being swallowed bit by bit, her face filled with anger, unwillingness, pain, and desire.

Zhang Yuanqing sensed the emotions of the remnant spirit inside the head and understood that this was the Goddess of Beauty's instinct to desire resurrection.

Should he devour the Goddess of Beauty's spirit and see what information he could get? A bold idea flashed through Zhang Yuanqing's mind.

Don't court death!

The remnant spirit of a demigod might not be too powerful after many years, but the pollution must be very strong. He had to maintain a clear and rational state to conquer the dungeon.

Zhang Yuanqing's vague premonition made him abandon the bold idea. He had a feeling that if he devoured the Goddess of Beauty's remnant spirit, his mental state would have big problems.

At this time, the head that had been dead for endless years actually burst out with vigorous vitality. The decaying flesh turned into fair skin, and the lifeless, greyish-white pupils became bright and watery. The combination of facial features was breathtakingly beautiful.

Zhang Yuanqing's desire was so strong that he couldn't suppress it. He couldn't wait to indulge in passionate pleasure, no matter how many people came or whether they were human or not, he could accept it.

His aura became fierce and domineering, like a mighty god of war.

That beautiful and incomparable face revealed extreme fear, and a mental wave was transmitted with a scream.

"Apollo!"

A golden arrow carrying terrifying heat struck the center of the head's eyebrows. Zhang Yuanqing didn't give the other party a chance to breathe, and grabbed a bright blue lightning spear from the item bar. In the crackling arcs of electricity, he threw it with all his might.

A muffled thunderclap exploded, and lightning shaped like a tree filled with the aura of destruction engulfed the entire cave.

Soon after, Zhang Yuanqing heard the notification from The Way of the Extraordinary.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the solo The Way of the Extraordinary mission – Elf Forest.]

[Number: 73, Difficulty Level: B, Calculating Rewards...]

[Rewards being calculated. Obtained item: Sex Pearl.]

[Reward experience points: 3%]

[Main quest completed.]

[Calculation complete. Exiting The Way of the Extraordinary in five minutes...]

In the Kangyang District Security Department, Li Dongze, wearing a neat, light gray suit, knocked on the door of the Security Brigade Captain Chen Yuanjun's office with the head of his cane.

"Are you free this afternoon?" Li Dongze smiled slightly. "You can take me to see Lei Yibing's parents."

Chen Yuanjun's eyes lit up. He put down the pen in his hand and frowned, "Why has it taken so long?"

A few days ago, Li Dongze proposed a plan to use hypnosis to awaken the memories of Lei Yibing's parents.

If they had really reported to the Kangyang District Security Department, The Way of the Extraordinary had many ways to make people forget certain things, and the simplest and most efficient way was hypnosis!

Hypnosis can make people forget some things!

Chen Yuanjun had been waiting for Li Dongze's reply these past few days. Li Dongze shrugged. "Calling in a Musician requires applying to the higher-ups, and the new superior hasn't fully adapted to the work in Kangyang District yet. Oh, God, every one of my superiors has been a Swordsman. Swordsmen are the most particular about rules. He insisted on me explaining the whole story clearly and thoroughly, and then verifying the facts before approving it!"

"Alright, save the complaints and nonsense for after the matter is completed." Chen Yuanjun stood up and walked out in large strides.

"Take me to see that Musician."

"She's just outside the administrative building." Li Dongze led the way ahead, leaning on his cane.
