Chapter 74-75 (1/2)

Chapter 74: Eye of Truth and the End of the Tunnel

Yue Qiang had a deep impression of Yin's skill

This was because her skills were all very special First, she had a skill that gave her sickness and did not count as a debuff Moreover, the higher the skill's level, the weaker she becan

Her other skill would be her Eye of Truth

Most people's skill could be fully explained in at most one or two lines But this Eye of Truth actually had a few active effects and passive effects In fact, if he remembered correctly this was a skill that could be further expanded

It was this skill that caused Yin to close her eyes constantly and radiate a very special kind of beauty

Yue Qiang could remember clearly the first time she opened her eyes

She was so beautiful that it shook hi that it made him tremble in fear

The ferocious, savage tiger's eyes bled just because it stared once at her At the time, he did not quite understand yet how the skill worked in principle But now that Yin had opened her eyes once more, he finally did The principle behind the skill's function was very simple

Anything she set her eyes on will be killed absolutely!

He finally understood thebehind that one line in the skill description, ”Unleash an absolutely accurate attack at a close range target This attack cannot miss”

If she could see her target, then she could hit it with her skill!

The base daht not even be able to break mechanical car's joints just now, but the upper limit of this skill's poas infinite

Take, for example, a person's eyes or trachea beneath the throat Any weak spot could be hit as long as it could be seen

If it wasn't for the fact that this skill had way too many harsh limitations and requirements, Yin could almost be said to be an invincible existence

The bolt sped across the air

It would nail Yue Qiang to the wall and kill him in the next instant

It was during this critical moment when Yin opened her eyes once more

She only needed to look once

There were neither gorgeous skill effects, nor cool skill ani bolt tilted just a little

Then, the tail of a bolt appeared on Yue Qiang's screen

The shaft of the bolt was at the left of his vision

He could not see the bolt's head

But he could hear it entering the wall beside him with a 'thud' noise

He gradually rotated the screen and saw the giant crossbow bolt's full appearance

The bolt lay just a finger's breadth away from his head The bolt's head had fully entered the tunnel's stone wall and sank several inches deep One could see just hoerful the bolt hen it was fired

When he looked towards Yin once ain and slowly sitting down on the ground She appeared to be severely weakened

Just like before, it would appear that she could use this skill only one time

In cohtly better than hers His stats and skills made sure that he would be able to recover to an okay state as long as he wasn't killed instantly By utilising his newly learned 'Hunyuan Jin LVL 1' and converting a portion of his Stamina into HP, his health was finally restored to a safer position

He walked to Yin's side and typed, ”This place is too dangerous I ed to find some way to cope with the mechanical fist, but if there was another one of those crossbow bolts one of us was definitely going to die here At any rate this tunnel is just too dangerous”

”It is dangerous alright, but don't you think that the attacks just now are more like a trial than an actual death trap?” Yin said

”A trial?”

”A trial it is Judging from the environ to kill us here If the mechanical fist you took apart just noere attached with sharp blades, or if the crossbow bolt just now contained poison gas that would explode on contact, there's no question that you would've been killed already Moreover, the mechanical fist did not coiant crossbow bolt was fired Perhaps it was just testing our strength or verifying our identities”

That was a possibility

Yue Qiang fell into deep thought

He stared at the mechanical fist that had shattered into a broken pile on the floor and connected it to the fist style that was used just now The technique behind the fist style was obviously far superior to his own evolved 'Killing Style, One' While on the surface the disparity appeared to be due to thehad been practicing this fist style for almost three months He knew very well that the difference between the th and speed alone, but also technique

The feeling that he was enveloped froe no matter how he tried was absolutely due to the difference of skill level If only he could learn this somehow

That being said, it was the fe him all this time The mechanisms and traps in this tunnel did not appear to have been activated to the fullest either In that case, if they walked to the end of this tunnel, then…

Yue Qiang had a feeling that theirthem some real rewards

Suddenly, Ai Qian spoke from behind him

Ai Qian hadn't been able to recover fro his skill all this time In fact, after he re-entered the tunnel, his complexion had only worsened further It was at this moment he spoke up suddenly, ”I feel even worse than before Could it be that we haven't left that 's area of effect? This place… I feel like everything I see in this color is in blood red color I' of extreme irritation…”

When Ai Qian spoke his words were disjointed A sickly green washilanced once at Yin and recalled her guess about a confusion type skill

Both Yin and him weren't affected due to the type of their heart skill However, Ai Qian's symptoms had only worsened as they continued deeper into the tunnel He was starting to develop delusions as well

Perhaps this was also a proof that supported Yin's theory that this was a 'trial'; only a person with a heart type skill could be immune to this confusion type skill On the other hand, anyone who did not have a heart type skill like Yin and hiht away like those soldiers at the tunnel entrance, or suffer pain, misery, and even develop delusions like Ai Qian

Seeing Ai Qian's terrible co walked over and typed, ”Brother, I have a way that can make you feel a little better”

”What is it?” The trader hit his own head in pain while asking

Yue Qiang arrived by his side and knocked Ai Qian out with a good old punch

”You'll feel better if you're out for a bit”

Then, he continued forwards while dragging Ai Qian on the ground with one hand and supporting Yin with the other The trio quickly arrived at the place where the giant crossbow bolt was fired It was also the end of the tunnel

To their surprise, there was a s house at this place Froiant crossbow log house Gongshu Shaoyang controlled at Yue Village

The s house was e house was half-closed

Yue Qiang carefully pushed the door open with an iron rod He thought on the inside: All of the unknowns should have an answer after the door was opened

Chapter 75: 2 Beast Skins, 1 Bamboo Scroll

While holding the door with the iron rod, Yue Qiang slowly le widened further and further, he felt like soed from inside the room

It seeas that was both noiseless and colorless But he could feel it all the same

It was a gas that invigorated the mind

Since the moment he cli more and more clear-headed This was especially obvious when he was facing against the mechanical fist He had performed a series of meticulous control that he would never be able to do under normal circumstances

It was an incredibly shocking revelation

Although his garound tunnel, the real hiht in front of the ht be poisoned, wounded, put to sleep and experience all kinds of sensations, Yue Qiang himself could only watch and listen with his senses

However, right now in front of thethrough his body

As the wooden door opened, a sensation that was like a blowing spring wind eed from inside

Yue Qiang sucked in a deep breath, feeling his brain andclearer and smoother than ever before

His vision had been focused right at the door of the wooden house, and as the gas gushed out froradually widened towards his surroundings First, he saw the entirety of the wooden house, which looked ale Then, he saw the shut-eyed, serious-looking Yin and frowning Ai Qian who seemed to be in pain even when he was out cold Finally, his field of view continued to enlarge until he saw the surrounding stone walls and the tunnel's very structure Finally… he saw the fringe of the monitor

I'ht now…

The number and alphabetic keys on the keyboard beneath his left hand felt very fa key byof which, it seeaze hadn'ttime, had it?

And how long is a very, very long time?

He glanced once at the computer table It was scattered with six or seven packs of consumed instant noodles There were bits of condis everywhere

Did he seriously eat so many packs of instant noodles after he came back?

That's strange He did not re water at all…

It was only when he saw the mess that he realised that he had actually eaten so many instant noodles His nose had also chosen this occasion to suddenly becarease, and cold noodles that were left aside untouched for a long tiled with each other and entered his nostrils If he had eaten this s of instant noodles, then it had probably been two or three days…

His field of vieidened again, and he saw the collapsed dustbin on the floor The garbage inside the dustbin had fallen out and beco fro after it had toppled, he had probably knocked it over by accident when he was going to the toilet

But when did he go to the toilet?

Unbelievable He could not remember the occasion at all It did not leave an impression in his mind in the least
