Keyboard Warrior's Otherworldly Adventure

Chapter 53 Sophie's Timely Rescue

A dark figure leaped from the cave entrance and landed steadily. In the dim light, Li Jin could make out the newcomer's appearance: a tight-fitting black leather jacket, a grotesque ghost mask covering his face, and a gleaming dagger in his hand. The look was exactly like a villain from a horror movie!

"Damn it! Can I really be this unlucky? I just escaped the clutches of the tentacle monster, fell into a trap, and now a robber has appeared? Is this other world deliberately making things difficult for me?!" Li Jin was inwardly groaning, but he forced himself to remain calm and asked casually, "Brother, are you robbing me? I'm penniless. You can tell from my clothes that I'm a pauper."

The man in black didn't speak, but slowly raised the dagger in his hand and approached Li Jin step by step.

"Brother, let's talk this out, don't resort to knives and guns. You see, I'm most afraid of pain, if you accidentally shake your hand, I'll be dead." Li Jin said as he quietly moved his body, trying to find a chance to escape.

The man in black ignored Li Jin's nonsense. The cold glint of the dagger flashed before Li Jin's eyes, making him feel a chill down his spine.

"System, is there any way for me to escape?" Li Jin asked anxiously in his mind.

"Ding! Host detected to be in danger. We recommend using the 'Flash' skill."

Flash? Li Jin's eyes lit up. This skill is amazing!

"Big brother, I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now!" Before Li Jin could finish speaking, he activated his teleport skill.

With a "whoosh!", Li Jin's figure vanished from his spot and reappeared behind the man in black.

The man in black was clearly not prepared for Li Jin's move. He paused for a moment, then turned and attacked Li Jin again.

Li Jin dared not be careless any longer and used his Flash skill again to dodge the attack from the man in black.

"Brother, I really don't have any money! If you're really short of money, I can introduce you to a job with room and board included and great pay!" Li Jin said, dodging the attacks of the men in black while trying to buy time.

"Shut up!" The man in black finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse, like a demon crawling out of hell. "Hand over the treasure you possess, and I might spare your life!"

Treasure? Li Jin was stunned. What treasure did he have? Could it be this transmigration system?

"Brother, what treasure are you talking about? I don't have any treasure on me." Li Jin pretended to be stupid.

"Stop pretending! I know you possess a time-traveling artifact!" the man in black roared. "Hand it over, or I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Time travel? Li Jin was startled. How did this man in black know he had a time travel system? Could he have been sent by Lin Na?

"Brother, you must have misunderstood. I'm just an ordinary working man. What kind of time-traveling treasure do I have?" Li Jin continued to play dumb.

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!" The man in black stopped talking and brandished his dagger, lunging at Li Jin.

Li Jin quickly dodged, but was still cut on the arm by the dagger.

"Hiss—" Li Jin gasped, the dagger was actually poisoned!

"Boy, if you don't hand over the treasure, I'll let you taste the agony of being devoured by a thousand poisons!" the man in black said with a sinister grin.

Li Jin cursed inwardly, "This Lin Na is really vicious!"

"System, is there any way to detoxify?" Li Jin asked in his mind.

"Ding! Host poisoning detected. 'Antidote' recommended."

Antidote? Li Jin quickly took out a bottle of antidote from his system space and drank it all in one gulp.

"Kid, you think an antidote can save you? My poison is specially made; even a god couldn't save you!" The man in black laughed triumphantly.

Li Jin ignored the man in black's mockery and silently circulated his internal energy, trying to expel the toxins from his body.

However, this toxin was exceptionally stubborn, and no matter how hard Li Jin tried, he was unable to expel it from his body.

"Hahaha! Kid, you're dead!" The man in black laughed even more wildly as he looked at Li Jin's pained expression.

Just then, a delicate shout suddenly came from above the cave entrance: "Stop!"

Immediately afterwards, a figure jumped down from the cave entrance—it was Sophie!

"Sophie! What brings you here?" Li Jin asked in surprise.

"I've come to save you!" Sophie drew her longsword, pointed it at the man in black, and said, "Let him go!"

"Oh, another one coming to die!" The man in black looked at Sophie, a lewd glint in his eyes. "Little girl, you're quite pretty. Why don't you come with me? I promise you'll live the high life!"

Sophie's face darkened, and she roared, "Shameless scoundrel! Prepare to die!"

Having said that, Sophie brandished her longsword and attacked the man in black...
