Chapter 499: Chapter 176: Secret Fetus Parasitic
Technique
Catherine Carter watched as the scene before her eyes transformed from the Flood Gang to a moonlit building, the caution in her sparkling eyes not abating.
She moved her fingertips slightly and took out the Destiny Coin.
Having seemingly used some spell to confirm that this wasn’t a dream, the slight furrowing of her brows then relaxed.
The crisis was temporarily averted.
Then, her gaze unconsciously fell onto the fellow in front of her, who still had a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
While her extraordinarily beautiful face was expressionless, a complex sentiment flashed in the depths of her sparkling eyes.
If she couldn’t remember her dreams, then it wouldn’t be so bothersome. But her professional skills allowed her to clearly remember what happened in the dream just now.
After all, there was a bit of irritation that her biggest secret was being peered into.
It was as though she had stripped bare, with no secret left hidden.
Oh, there was no need for hypotheticals.
This fellow had indisputably seen through her inside and out.
Having thought about this, the Elder Miss of the Lionheart Family exhibited a trace of helplessness between her brows.
She had held a grudge after the scene at the gambling spot, but her mindset had drastically changed and she had let go of it. However, she still thought that if she came across him, she would definitely kill him.
Afterwards, through some information she found out that “Baron Charles” was that fellow, and she hesitated.
She didn’ t want to kill him as much anymore.
She had no intention of revealing it, preferring to let the matter remain buried in her heart.
It would be better if they continued to pretend not to know each other.
But, the dream from just now had revived it all.
The situation became what it was currently.
The two of them were silent for a moment, with neither speaking.
Having been thoroughly seen by a man, Catherine naturally didn’t have a good expression on her face.
Leonard Churchill shook his head with a laugh, actively breaking the subtle awkward atmosphere, and cautioned, “This Ghost Building has a strong faith contamination that can create a Dream Illusion Skill. Be careful.
At his words, Catherine’s thoughts were instantly pulled back, as she responded only, “Hmm.”
She had just experienced the power of this dream herself.
If it weren’t for this fellow right in front of her, she might have truly gotten stuck in the dream forever.
Thinking about this, the coldness in Catherine’s eyes softened considerably. Herself in this Hero Trial, if it weren’t for encountering that senior and this fellow in front of her right now, she didn’t know how many times she might have died already.
When she started to calculate it, it seemed she indeed owed them a favour. Leonard Churchill didn’t linger too much, and didn’t take his previous dream to heart, and hinted, “I plan to continue going up to see. What about you?” The candid attitude made Catherine feel as if her inexplicable embarrassment was inexplicably gone, as she answered, “Let’s go together.
She was also very curious about the situation in the Ghost Building. She understood what he meant by that question, and added, “This faith contamination won’t affect me much in the short term.”
Leonard Churchill nodded a little when he heard this.
The two people then continued to go up along the stairs.
After going up a few more floors, besides meeting a person from the Lionheart Family, they also encountered a special agent from X Bureau, and a few unidentified fellows.
All of them were real experts.
Only then did Leonard and Catherine learn that so many people had already come here before them.
This was normal after all.
This ruins could hold the secret to breaking through to the Legend. It was normal for experts to come.
But everyone was trapped in the dream.
Leonard and Catherine did not meddle in the affairs of others.
They just kept going up.
Soon, they reached the top floor.
The view here was excellent, presenting a sweeping view of the whole Summer Shepherd City bathed in an orange glow.
The top floor was still quite empty, just a small stone platform existed.
But here, two men had already arrived before them.
An unseemly old man with white hair and a sword-holding young man were squatting next to the stone platform, pondering over something.
Hearing the noise of someone coming, the two men turned their heads abruptly.
Upon a mutual glance, astonishment was apparent in everyone’s eyes. Leonard was quite surprised, and asked, “Elder, how come you all are here?” The early arrivals to the top floor were none other than Elder Clinton and Colin. If he recalled correctly, even if these two had entered the Ghost Building, they should’ve been behind them, right?
Moreover, as they walked up all the way, while the Sixth Tier experts were trapped in the environment, these two looked like they had arrived long ago. Elder Clinton was full of confusion, obviously not understanding the question, “Huh?”
Leonard guessed that something was not right, and asked, “You guys…came in from where?”
Catherine at his side showed a cautious expression.
She even thought that they were still in some kind of dream.
Elder Clinton, still full of doubt, answered, “This…didn’t you just break down the barricade of Lionheart Family’s Gatekeeper Legion? We just slipped in amidst the chaos.”
Although Leonard’s expression was normal, he was also on guard inside. Ran into acquaintances at the top floor of the Ghost Building, might not necessarily be real.
He carefully asked, “How did you get to the top floor?”
Elder Clinton, still confused, answered, “We were here as soon as we entered, weren’t we?”
As he was speaking, he didn’t forget to counter, “Isn’t that how it was for you two?”
Leonard:”…”
Catherine:”…”
Both of them had a twitch in the corner of their eyes upon hearing those words. Indeed, the skills of this man couldn’t be understood using common sense. After a bit more discussion, they basically confirmed that the one in front of them was Elder Clinton.
This unseemly image was something that they couldn’t even imagine.
When the four-man team regrouped, it was so dramatic that it caused them to sigh.
Only then did Catherine realise that it seemed that she was the only one who had faced real life-threatening danger all along.
Since the identities had been confirmed, Leonard also asked, “Elder, what s the situation now?”
Elder Clinton pointed towards the stone platform and said, “There’s also a Bronze Snake here.”
