Chapter 145 Invisible Impact
The cold is biting to the bones, and the breath turns to frost. It is much colder than in the temple above.
The King of Gloomy Bones lived up to his name, and the bone-chilling coldness made both of them pale.
The two of them were dressed in May clothes. They didn't feel cold in this city that was buried deep underground but only had a temperature of more than ten degrees. When they got to the temple, the temperature dropped below zero, which was actually bearable. However, the cold was overwhelming at this time. Less than a minute after the person came down, he just confirmed that there was nothing around him and it was temporarily safe. He already felt cold and stiff all over, as if his blood was about to freeze.
At this time, Lin Qi felt extremely regretful. From those dramas, he could learn all kinds of death-defying techniques during exploration, but few of them told him what preparations he should make when going out to investigate in another world. If And next time, be sure to prepare enough supplies before going out.
Even so, looking at Miss Valente behind her with a red nose, Lynch sighed, took off the damaged formal jacket and handed it to the aristocratic lady, leaving only a shirt for himself.
I'm not a Virgin, but this is a country of gentlemen. I always have to do as the Romans do. For things like keeping warm, just shaking it off...? ? ?
Just as he was comforting himself, Lynch saw Miss Valente biting her lip, taking over her coat and putting it on. She smiled at him with her lips pursed, then took out a small box and opened it, revealing a box of red powder inside. .
With a flick of his finger, the powder stuck to the two of them, and then he spat out the ancient syllables again. Lin Qi felt a warm current sweeping through his body, and the cold air was easily isolated.
Hiss, you spellcasters really know how to play.
The two of them recovered from their stiffness, smiled at each other, and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.
Deep in the shaft is a flat and open underground space. It is empty as far as the eye can see. There are no life-threatening ghoul stone statues and invisible children in sight. The environment is filled with a putrid smell. The wall was also flashing with green light, and there was a dark passage on the wall extending horizontally to an unknown distance.
A strong sense of pressure vaguely came from the depths of the tunnel, like a sleeping beast, motionless, but enough to frighten all beasts.
The gleaming green light shines from the depths of the tunnel, and the green mist reveals endless evil. Vague whispers linger in the ears, the voices are hoarse and low, as if countless insects are whispering in the middle of the night. It's like crawling in the ears.
It seems that we have found the target, but we haven’t seen anything yet. The mere existence has already penetrated the deterrent effect. Apart from the evil god’s clone, there is probably no other possibility.
It's in there, we found it.
“Click, click, click.”
However, just when Lynch realized this and before he had time to rejoice, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of teeth tapping next to him. He turned around and saw that the tiles Miss Lunt's face was pale at this time, her whole body was shaking, and even her teeth were chattering.
Under attack? Where is the enemy?
Lin Qi was startled, and quickly protected her behind him, looking around. However, the surroundings were empty and nothing unusual could be seen. There was no trace of the enemy at all. There was only a strange green light. Creepy.
What's going on?
The change was quite drastic. Within a few seconds, Miss Valente had fallen to the ground weakly. Not only was her speech slurred, her muscles were trembling, and she could not even complete the action of picking out her pocket. There was a gurgling sound in his mouth, frantic looks flashed across his eyes from time to time, and his expression became twisted and ferocious from time to time.
What to do?
"Help me, quick, pocket, cigarette."
Taking advantage of the moment when her eyes regained clarity, Miss Valente suppressed her mental confusion and almost yelled out a few words. The ferocious expression on her face made Lynch dare not delay. He rushed over to rummage through her pockets and quickly rummaged through them. A pile of odds and ends came out, including two green cigarettes.
It must be it, quickly.
Lin Qi put one directly into her mouth and lit it on fire. He watched her greedily take a few deep sips. He was anxious for a while and stared at her expression closely. Fortunately, after a few puffs of cigarettes, Miss Valente's face slowly returned to color, her trembling hands finally calmed down, and her eyes became calm.
“Huh, it was too timely.” The noble lady took a long breath, forced a smile, and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, “Thankfully you are here, otherwise I would have gone crazy on the spot and never woke up again. Here it is."
"What's going on?" Lynch frowned, "Is this the erosion caused by the evil god?"
Lynch remembered that Officer Natalie had given him some popular science before. Mysterious filth corrodes the soul, which often manifests itself in violent mood swings, with fear being the most typical one.
"It was almost dangerous. I just realized that this deterrent force belonged to the evil god, and my soul had already been severely impacted. If it hadn't been for the soul-returning grass that temporarily solidified the stability of the soul, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back.”
Miss Valente took a few puffs in a hurry before stubbing out the cigarette butt and putting it away:
"This is also the first time I have come into contact with this kind of existence, and I still underestimate it too much. I really didn't expect that this was just a sleeping clone. It almost shattered the defense of my soul just by its existence. I really can't imagine what it would be like if it were the original body. What happened.”
Hell, just realizing its existence, you almost got twisted into a madman or a monster?
Lin Qi realized that maybe he had despised these high-ranking beings because he had easily deceived the two evil gods before. Relying on the fact that he could activate the divine power, he rushed in without any preparation, and the supplies he prepared were still there. She is not as considerate as an aristocratic lady. I have watched so many dramas in vain.
If this continues, I will kill myself sooner or later. Why did I forget what my neighbor said, I just might win, it depends on how I do it.
‘I’m so sorry, neighbor. ’
[Well, it’s not too late. 】
Taking a deep breath and allowing himself to regain the caution he had when he first came to this world, Lynch smiled and stretched out his hand in front of Miss Valente: "Then can your condition continue?"
" We must continue. We will be eroded by the evil god's filth here all the time. The longer we stay, the more serious the pollution will be, and it will not take long for us to become distorted."
Miss Valente's face is still a little pale, but her spirit has returned to normal. , his eyes were bright, he smiled gently at Lin Qi, took out a few cigarettes and put them into Lin Qi's hand and said:
"Don't worry. With the support of the Soul-Reviving Grass, and the fact that I have already been hit, nothing should happen to me for a while. You are really powerful. This is the memory of the race that is engraved deep in the soul. It is our control over the past. You are not affected by the instinctive fear. But even if you are not afraid, you should still take a few spare ones."
"I was also affected, but to a lesser extent, and I recovered quickly. You say that, probably because I don’t have as many messy things engraved in my soul, so I am more suitable to fight against evil gods. A friend said that I am special.”
There is a comparison with Miss Valente. , Lynch finally realized how special his willpower was. No wonder his neighbor repeatedly emphasized that he was special. But now that he had decided to be cautious and not make too much fuss, Lynch thought for a while and simply asked Miss Valente for a soul-returning grass to light, took a deep breath, and entered the only tunnel with the smoke in his mouth.
The tunnel is very deep, the green light is getting stronger and stronger, the heartbeats of the two people in tandem are getting faster and faster, and their emotions are getting more and more tense. I don’t know how long I went deep in, but my eyes suddenly opened up and there was a bright green light.
An extremely twisted and strange existence finally appeared in front of Lynch and Miss Valente in full form.
King of Ghouls, Mordiggian.
