Chapter 188: Did We Come at a Bad Time?
Translator: Lonelytree
Bobo said confidently.
Then, everyone turned to Matthew.
Matthew looked up at the sky.
The sun was setting, and half the sky was dark. A waning moon was vaguely hanging on the branches of the rainforest.
“Then let’s go over and take a look. There’s no need to chase too closely. I’ve invited two experts. When they come, we’ll have a better chance of winning against Blinken.”
Matthew patted the badge on his chest and said.
Forty minutes later.
In a narrow and damp underground passage.
The group moved sideways.
It took them a long time to pass through the gap between the two huge rocks.
The underground space in front of them suddenly opened up.
The stone stairs leading down were obviously man-made. There were messy murals on the side, as well as a small number of tools and living supplies.
It was not hard to guess that this was once the territory of a group of black-backed gnolls.
“There should be another exit in this undercity. With the size of the
Black-backed gnolls, they will not be able to pass through this place.”
The gnolls in this camp were probably killed by Matthew, so he knew their physical condition very well.
Xiuyi agreed.
“Most of the undercities under the rainforest extend in all directions. Although there aren’t many creatures here, they have inherited the cunning of the rainforest creatures. As far as I know, there are at least three roads leading to the surface. This is the closest one, and it’s relatively safe.
“Even so, there are always dangers lurking in the underground world. I remember that there are many vampire bats hiding in the road ahead. It’s best if everyone doesn’t use torches because they especially like to attack people who hold torches.
“I have a certain level of dark vision, so why don’t you let me go first? But you must remember to support me at all times. I really don’t have confidence in my combat standards.”
The group discussed for a while and decided to adopt Xiuyi’s suggestion. They extinguished the torches and used a rope to connect the four wrists. If anything unusual happened, they could shake the rope violently to inform their companions. It was also very convenient to break free of the rope if necessary.
Xiuyi took the lead.
Matthew followed closely behind.
He took out the Ring of Desire from his inventory and put it on. In his pitch-black vision, a greyish -white outline suddenly appeared.
This was the effect of Dark Vision.
The Ring of Desire could provide 10 points of dark vision, which meant that Matthew could now see the dark environment in front of him.
It was blurry if they were further away.
In the Undercity, equipment that could enhance dark vision was always in demand.
The effect of the Ring of Desire was immediate.
However, its other use was equally annoying.
“After wearing it, you really don’t have any desire at all. If Heart of Tranquil Water only helps you resist the temptation from the outside world, then wearing this Ring of Desire is equivalent to directly completing the psychological castration.”
Matthew spun the ring a little uncomfortably.
As they went deeper into the Undercity.
The team gradually fell silent.
Only the rustling of footsteps could be heard.
If not for the occasional shaking of the rope, everyone would have thought that their companions had been swallowed by the endless darkness.
About half an hour later.
Xiuyi’s relieved voice came from ahead.
” We’ve already passed the Vampire Bats ‘territory. There should be some Fungus Man villages ahead. They’re not a threat to us. We can light the torches for a while. If the surface creatures suddenly enter the Undercity and can’t see the light for a long time, they will have hallucinations.”
As he spoke, he lit his torch first.
However, in the next second, Matthew, who was about fifteen meters away from him, shouted in surprise,
“Watch your back!”
Xiuyi reacted quickly. He didn’t turn back but took a sudden step forward, attempting to pull away from the monster behind him.
However, the other party was even faster.
Matthew only saw a white light flash past. The shadow pounced on Xiuyi from behind and instantly disappeared!
Xiuyi staggered. When he got up, he patted his chest and said in a frightened voice,
“What pushed me earlier?
“Fortunately, I’m fine…”
Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes began to roll back rapidly, emitting an abnormal light!
“Hehe, come and kiss me!”
Xiuyi’s voice suddenly became extremely soft.
He rushed towards Matthew, hugged him, and kissed Matthew in an extremely rude manner!
Matthew didn’t say anything and raised his leg to kick Xiuyi. However, this kick was like kicking an iron plate. Not only did it not kick the other party away, but Matthew staggered.
Fortunately, this somewhat delayed Xiuyi’s bestial nature.
Lumiere arrived in time. He grabbed Xiuyi’s shoulder and pressed him against the wall!
Matthew focused his eyes.
[Warning: Your partner Xiuyi has been invaded by “Charm Soul”. All of his attributes have been temporarily absorbed by “Charm Soul” by 1/4!]
[Once a Charm Soul kisses you for more than 3 seconds, 1/4 of your attributes would be temporarily absorbed by the Charm Soul!]
“Charm soul?”
Matthew’s expression was solemn.
As a Necromancer, he knew that this was an extremely terrifying undead creature!
Don’t be fooled by its name. This thing was at least Tier 4, and its potential destructive power was even far greater than that of the Bone Dragons, Dark Warriors, and other fierce undead.
The main problem was its ability to absorb its target’s attributes.. Even though the effect was temporary, if she took a kiss out of everyone, ordinary adventure teams would definitely be wiped out!
