Chapter 638 Horror
âAre you alright?â Liu Yun looked at Zhou Wen nervously. He was really worried that Zhou Wen would die.If Zhou Wen were to die just like that, he would likely suffer the same fate. He naturally didnât wish for Zhou Wen to die.âIâm fine.â Zhou Wen sheathed his Bamboo Blade and shook his head.
At the instant he struck out to kill the black-armored warrior, Zhou Wen switched to Gods Retreat before killing it.
The jade infant absorbed a large amount of taboo power and nearly exploded. However, it was about the same as before. There were no abnormal fluctuations. From the looks of it, killing the black-armored warrior wasnât considered murder.
Of course, this was only Zhou Wenâs guess. Perhaps the taboo power fluctuations from murder wasnât obvious.
Zhou Wen looked down at the black-armored warriorâs corpse. His corpse was rapidly disintegrating as a crystal dropped. It was an Essence Energy Skill Crystal.
Zhou Wen extended his palm and sucked it over. The crystal reached Zhou Wenâs hand and he used his phone to snap a picture. It was indeed an Epic Essence Energy Skill Crystal.
Blade Executioner Crystal: Epic
With the Blade Executioner dead, the words on the stone slab beneath Zhou Wenâs feet vanished.
âDo you still want to continue walking? If we encounter a Mythical creature, we will probably be doomed,â said Liu Yun with a heavy expression.
Zhou Wen knew that it was a viable possibility. He wouldnât believe that there were no Mythical creatures in such a strange dimensional zone.
He looked at his phone. The game was still downloading, and there wasnât any indication of the progress. He didnât know when it would finish downloading.
âLetâs continue,â Zhou Wen said as he bit his lip. A day was very short. If they couldnât untie the dead knot caused by the three ironclad rules, they would probably die.
Thankfully, Zhou Wen still had Truth Listener and Demonic Neonate to use. Even if he encountered Mythical creatures, he wasnât powerless against them.
However, Zhou Wen was still somewhat worried. He didnât know if Companion Beasts would be affected by the ironclad rules of Netherworld City. If they were affected as well, they would die if they werenât summoned with their feet touching the ground. That would be tragic.
But now that things had come to this, he had to fight for his survival. All he could do was walk forward.
âJunior Brother, go ahead. Iâll follow behind you. Since you wish to scout the way, I can help you from behind if you encounter danger,â said Liu Yun.
There was nothing wrong with what Liu Yun said. Furthermore, Zhou Wen hadnât pinned his hopes on him at all, so he continued walking forward. However, this time, Zhou Wen walked even slower and was even more careful.
Liu Yun waited for Zhou Wen to take a few steps before stepping on the same stone slabs he took to prevent any accidents from happening.
The only thing that worried Liu Yun was if the black-armored warrior that Zhou Wen had killed would appear when he stepped onto the same stone slab.
Although he was worried, Liu Yun was still prepared to take the same path. He wanted to see if the black-armored warrior would appear again. That would give him a better idea for the remaining journey.
However, before Liu Yun reached the black-armored warriorâs stone slab, something went wrong.
He stepped on a stone slab that Zhou Wen had stepped on before. The stone slab lit up as a few words appeared.
Cause of death: Horror
âF*ck, what the hell is this? You clearly stepped on it just now. Wasnât it fine?â Liu Yun tightened his nerves and looked around.
He didnât know what horror was. The slab that Zhou Wen had stepped on previously clearly wrote âDeath by blades.â
Zhou Wen turned his head and saw the words beneath Liu Yunâs feet. He said with a heavy expression, âFrom the looks of it, the problematic stone slabs arenât in fixed spots. They randomly appear or someone is controlling them. Even if thereâs a pattern, we donât know what it is.â
âJunior Brother, I think itâs best if we donât meet again in the future. Before meeting you, I lived a happy life. However, ever since I met you, I havenât had a good day. I might even lose my life here. Promise me, if we can survive this time, we wonât meet again, alright?â Liu Yun said with a bitter face.
âWhen you take me to the Endless Sea of Stars, we wonât meet again,â Zhou Wen said.
âYou still want to go to the Endless Sea of Stars when we are already in this situation... Ah...â As Liu Yun spoke, he suddenly felt a chill run down his neck.
A dagger seemed to have appeared out of thin air and stuck to his neck. The blade had already touched his skin.
Liu Yun turned pale with fright, but his reaction was really fast. Almost at the same time the blade appeared, he quickly leaned back, but his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground. He remained motionless.
The dagger slashed across Liu Yunâs face, slicing off a portion of his hair. Liu Yun broke out into a cold sweat.
However, the dagger vanished after the slash. If not for the fact that half of Liu Yunâs hair had been cut off and there was a faint bloody mark on his neck, he would have thought that it was just an illusion.
Liu Yun listened attentively, but he couldnât hear the sound of the dagger at all. There was no wind in the air.
This is indeed horrifying. I would rather meet the black-armored warrior... Liu Yun felt depressed, but he focused his mind and didnât dare relax.
Suddenly, the dagger appeared at Liu Yunâs waist and stabbed at his waist.
Liu Yun immediately dodged to the side. His clothes were pierced, but he still managed to dodge.
Zhou Wen watched from the side as the dagger constantly appeared. It was like a ghost whose trajectory he couldnât figure out. Every time it appeared, it was as though it had teleported.
When it vanished, Truth Listener couldnât hear its location.
Liu Yunâs skills were extraordinary. He managed to dodge the various attacks of the dagger time and time again. His body made all sorts of unimaginable poses. At most, he would lift one foot from the ground, never two at the same time. There were certain poses that even a professional acrobat might not be able to do.
âSenior Brother, your movement technique is pretty good. Where did you learn it?â Zhou Wen asked with a smile.
âYouâre still gloating at me despite the situation. Hurry up and help me think of a way to deal with this fellow,â Liu Yun said gloomily.
âSince you have the ability to dodge, find an opportunity to slash it. Perhaps you can slice it apart with one strike,â Zhou Wen said.
âYou make it sound simple. How would I know that I would enter such a crappy place? I usually use Companion Beasts, so I donât have any ordinary weapons,â said Liu Yun.
âYou should have said so earlier. I have a weapon. I can rent it out to you,â Zhou Wen said with a smile.
âCut the crap. Give it to me quickly.â Liu Yun dodged the daggerâs attack and shouted at Zhou Wen.
âHow much will you be paying for rent?â Zhou Wen said in a relaxed manner when he saw that he wasnât in much danger.
âYou can charge however much you want. Junior Brother, canât you be a little more humane in times like this?â Liu Yun felt like crying.
âTell me first, what movement technique is that?â Zhou Wen was especially interested in movement techniques. Liu Yunâs movement technique wasnât as fast as Zhou Wenâs, but his body could make all sorts of strange poses. It was something that ordinary humans couldnât accomplish. It was definitely a special Essence Energy Skill.
