A Game for Everyone: God-Level Talent is Achieved Through Rolling In.
Chapter 232 Marking the Gu Insects
Liu Guangbu peeked inside through the vines and saw that the cave was deep and winding. He then turned to Nie Wan and asked, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
"of course."
She discovered the cave early on and deliberately led Liuguang away from me.
Now that we've arrived at the right place, how can we not go in?
I glanced inside a few more times, and I sensed a stench of decay and blood; it couldn't be a good place.
But in this game, the worse the location, the more likely you are to find good items.
"I'll lead the way, and you just follow behind me. If anything happens, I can shield you from some trouble, and you can heal me."
Nie Wan nodded, looking obedient.
"I will try my best not to hold Mr. Liuguang back."
She's so well-behaved; the more I look at her, the less she resembles You Yuehan.
The fleeting light made me uneasy, so I pushed aside the vines and entered the cave.
Nie Wan followed three steps behind him, keeping pace with him, and held her breath to observe her surroundings.
Although the cave was damp and cramped, it wasn't pitch black. A sliver of light coming through the cave entrance allowed the two to barely see the uneven ground, preventing them from stepping into a pit.
At first, the narrow passage only allowed one person to walk at a time. After two turns, the light gradually dimmed, but the cave became relatively wider, allowing two people to walk side by side.
But Nie Wan remained behind Liu Guangbugongwo, calmly and slowly examining the moss-covered cave walls.
These mosses are dark brown, similar in color to the damp rocks, and are almost invisible unless you look closely.
Nie Wan initially focused most of her attention on fighting Jingmu Han and didn't see clearly. It wasn't until the situation on her main body eased that she shifted most of her attention to the moss on the rocks and her heart skipped a beat.
She shifted her gaze to the distant, ethereal light before her: "There's something I don't know whether I should say."
"what's up?"
"We may have already been detected."
Liu Guangbugongwo was completely bewildered when she spoke such strange words in such a calm tone, and turned her head away.
But in the darkness, Nie Wan's expression was not clearly visible.
All that could be heard was her calm tone.
"These mosses should be man-eating mosses, level 30 excellent monsters. They're a common surveillance method used by Miao people in their Gu practices. Once a stranger approaches, the mosses will transmit the aura of the stranger to the main body, and then..."
"Then what?"
"The Gu Master will come to kill us."
As the last "come" ended, Liu Guangbugongwo suddenly felt the wind whistling behind him. He subconsciously activated the protective fire phoenix shield, then turned around, drew the phoenix longbow, summoned the phoenix phantom, and commanded it to breathe fire.
The Fire Feather Arrow and the Phoenix Fire struck the enemy one after the other, exploding into blazing golden flames that temporarily illuminated the entire cave.
The brief flash of light allowed Nie Wan and Liu Guangbu to clearly see the appearance of the object that had attacked them.
A nine-tailed scorpion as tall as a person and over ten zhang long.
Calling it a scorpion doesn't quite seem accurate. After Nie Wan took out a tinderbox from her backpack and lit it again, the two of them realized that although its head and tail looked like a scorpion, it had dozens of pairs of tiny legs under its body, swaying as it walked over like a centipede.
Its entire body is a metallic black, and its six compound eyes blink in unison, occasionally flashing with a ghostly blue light.
Although this guy is quite big, I just want to laugh at his unparalleled brilliance.
The passageway is so narrow, won't this big guy get stuck after walking for a while? Isn't this just delivering food to them?
No, this game shouldn't have such a stupid part.
He couldn't help but indulge in conspiracy theories again, standing in front of Nie Wan, ready to drag her away at any moment.
Then, the two of them watched helplessly as the huge thing got stuck in the hole.
"..."
Nie Wan: "..."
Seriously? Could it be that these NPCs and monsters really do something so stupid?
Liu Guang looked at this thing from left to right, cautiously approaching it to make sure it really had him stuck and had no ranged attack skills. He couldn't help but gasp.
"We've stumbled upon such a lucky find! This is a level 40 spirit treasure boss!"
Nie Wan also stepped forward to check the monster's attributes.
【Soul-Chasing Centipede Scorpion】
【Level: 40】
[Tier: Exquisite]
【Life: 67430000/67430000】
[True Qi: 490000/490000]
[Skills: Scorpion Tail Whip, Ancestor of All Poisons, Devouring Corrosive Qi, Miasma Condensation]
Upon seeing the last skill, Nie Wan narrowed her eyes.
Seeing that Liu Guang had already started attacking and was having a great time, Nie Wan silently healed herself until the centipede scorpion's health was suppressed to below 20% but still showed no signs of going berserk, before she spoke up.
"Something's not right. Why isn't the Boss going berserk?"
I, Liu Guangbu, also sensed something amiss, stopped my attack, and, under the dual protection of the phoenix phantom and the fire phoenix shield, approached the centipede scorpion again.
Upon getting closer, I immediately realized something was amiss.
This thing was huge, and it arrived with such a grand entrance that it filled the entire field of vision, so I didn't even get a proper look at its eyes.
Now, getting closer and examining it closely under the glow of the phoenix fire, one discovers that it has no eyes at all. Although it has a gaping maw, it actually has no tongue or teeth inside.
It's practically an empty shell.
Furthermore, considering that it willingly walks into a fight, despite being a boss-like creature, it doesn't even have a berserk phase...
Sigh, it seems the world really does revert to conspiracy theories.
Liu Guang Bu Gong Wo retreated to Nie Wan's side: "What do we do now? I feel like killing it would be worse."
Killing it is certainly not good; that miasma condensation is not an attack skill, but a self-destruct marking skill.
After the self-destruction, the miasma condensed within her body enveloped her and Liuguang Buyongwo, leaving an indelible mark on their panels.
Then, no matter where they go, the owner of this centipede-scorpion can determine their location based on the markings.
Moreover, once the centipede scorpion's master attacks them, the mark will immediately take effect, weakening their defenses and paralyzing their consciousness.
In her previous life, when she was on a mission in Miao territory, Nie Wan suffered a similar fate. She was marked with a Gu seal and was chased by a group of Gu masters for three whole months. If she hadn't fought her way out and by chance teleported to the Ghost Clan, where she burned herself with ghost fire to completely remove the Gu seal, she would probably have faced endless harassment from those Gu masters after returning to the human race.
What is the result of being endlessly harassed by them? Just look at Lin Jianlu, who investigated the Miao script book all the way but ultimately disappeared without a trace.
Having vivid memories from her past life, Nie Wan naturally wouldn't repeat the same mistakes now.
I was unaware of the details, but having some gaming experience, I quickly guessed a few things after a moment's thought, and my eyes gradually became filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
