Chapter 91 - Escaping from Burial Grounds (XXII)
Editor: Kitty
Under normal circ.u.mstances, Specter’s weapons were usually in the shape of two pistols.
However, he had a modification skill, so he could modify his weapons into rocket launchers, sniper rifles, an individual mortar that he could carry with the aid of his shoulders, and all kinds of other weapons……
Moreover, Specter seemed to have a special interest in these hot weapons. He could be considered a mobile a.r.s.enal. As long as he wanted, he could throw bombs and grenades out anytime and anywhere. His carry-on secret chamber was really big. He even put a tank into it. If it was not restricted by conditions, it could be moved out.
His large-range skill was named ‘chain explosion.’ It was particularly effective in the face of a wide range of enemies. When one of his special bullets. .h.i.t one of the enemies, the poor enemy’s innards would start to detonate. Like a wave of explosions, it would drag the other enemies around the detonated enemy to produce a series of explosions, and the enemies around them would spurt blood and explode like fireworks with a series of bangs!
Moreover, in the situation where the monsters were all around them, the scope of the explosions was terrifying.
Because of the violent explosions, the whole vault of the G.o.d’s tomb was filled with thundering bangs. The ground seemed to vibrate under their feet, and there was gravel falling from the ceiling. The sight was extremely terrifying; Luo Jian, who was standing in the corner with the stalker, thought that it felt as if the sky would fall at any time. If he had not followed Xing Yan, he would have been dragged into the explosion. After taking a look at it, Luo Jian felt that it should be his paternal cousin’s masterpiece.
At the same time, Ah Lan, who was huddled in Duan Li’s arms, raised his head and looked at the central point where the explosion had occurred. Fortunately, the tomb of the G.o.d was really huge, and the ceiling was so high that one was unable to see it. It was as s.p.a.cious as several basketball courts put together. Standing in the corner, as long as there were no d.a.m.ned flower buds around, they wouldn’t be affected by the explosion.
It could be said that Specter’s move could destroy all the monsters in the G.o.d’s tomb.
The G.o.d that had commanded all these monsters was still high in the air. He knew that these small explosions could not destroy the impregnable tree, so he did not worry about it. What made him anxious was that these d.a.m.ned ants were more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
“But…… there are still some gains.” The G.o.d raised his head and looked towards the gate of his tomb. There was a group of ants who had just come in. However, they came in unexpectedly, just in time for Specter to launch his huge ranged attack. Before they could react, they had been consumed by the explosion.
However, they were all senior players, after all. Except for one person who was seriously injured, the others just cut a sorry figure.
And the wounded person, unfortunately, was the woman who wore the cheongsam, their strategist.
“It seems that we are in great trouble.” Hints of seriousness finally appeared on the icy-cold face of the vampiric team captain, who held the woman tightly in his arms. Although he had performed emergency treatment for her wound, not accounting for her terrifying wisdom, this woman was almost the weakest member in their team.
Not only did the woman have no combat power, but her body was also similar to that of ordinary people’s; she might even be weaker than an ordinary person. Even compared to newbies, the physical quality of her body was comparably worse. It was hard to imagine that she had experienced escaping from dozens of secret chambers. Besides that, her weapon was quite mystifying; it was a pen.
But this team must not lose her, not just because of her amazing wisdom.
The secret chamber did not bestow upon her any fighting or self-protection abilities, but it gave her a skill that could defy the laws of nature.
That pen could change fate.
“Clownk2026;k2026; d.a.m.n it, is that guy dead?” The vampire team captain frowned as he looked at the woman in his arms. She was already unconscious. When the explosion had occurred, she was standing in a bad position. Even though the vampire team captain had used his body as a meat shield for her in time, the fragile woman was instantly seriously injured. Her chest was badly mutilated, and most of her body suffered from severe burns. Her legs were almost charred, and her hands suffered from different degrees of damage. If they left her aside, she would soon die.
And just as it happened, there was n.o.body in their team who could treat her. The pharmaceutical drugs they usually carried in their carry-on secret chamber had little effect on such a serious injury. All the recovery props that could be used had already been smacked onto the woman.
The vampire team captain had a high-intensity recovery skill, which made him akin to a c.o.c.kroach that one could not beat to death. He only needed blood. But this skill only worked for himself.
As for Brawny in their team, he was a player specializing in strength. He was also a fellow with a self-healing ability, and it also only worked for himself.
So these two guys did not need any props for medical recovery.
And Clown was the only doctor in the team with medical experience, but…… his life or death was unknown.
As for the last guy…… forget him.
“Captain, what can I do?” There were only three people left in their poor team, and Brawny looked like a man without a master.
“We can’t give up on these.” The vampire team captain looked up at the huge tomb of the G.o.d. The series of explosions had gradually stopped, and almost all the monsters had been bombed. The budding flower buds were also scattered into pieces. Without the entanglement of the vines and the monsters, the whole tomb suddenly appeared wider and less crowded. In addition to some light emitted by fires that had yet to be extinguished, the G.o.d’s tomb had become much brighter compared to the original dimness.
And the G.o.d floating in the middle of the air was particularly conspicuous at the moment because his whole person was like a light bulb, emitting light.
“You surprised me, ants,” the G.o.d said as he first looked at Specter, who was closest to him.
Specter was not affected by his skills. Although he had been standing at the center of the explosion, he was still only slightly in a mess. His hair was scattered and messy, so he put on his hood. The weapon in his hand retained the shape of a rocket launcher, and the muzzle was still aimed at the G.o.d in the air.
“You surprised me.” The G.o.d opened his mouth, commanding the vines to lower him down, and gradually got closer to Specter.
“But it was the wrong choice,” the G.o.d continued, and suddenly he revealed a smile: “Look around you. Because of this terrible explosion, your team retreated to the corners far away, and you are alone…… standing right in front of me.”
Specter paused as if he was ready to fire.
“Don’t worry.” The G.o.d has floated to Specter’s front. His black hair shook freely like the tree vines, and even without wind, it swayed, looking like Medusa’s snake hair. The hair trembled and swam towards Specter.
“It’s you who should feel a sense of crisis,” Specter suddenly said, “n.o.body can survive under my gun.”
“You said no person.” The G.o.d smiled, and the smile carried hints of lunacy: “But I am a G.o.d.”
Specter shook his head and looked at him sadly: “Fool, are you still submerged within your so-called G.o.d’s dream? There are many things in the world that even the true G.o.d cannot do, let alone you, a fake G.o.d!”
The G.o.d was not knocked down by Specter’s words and just smiled sarcastically: “I don’t care if I’m a true or fake G.o.d. I only understand one thing now…… As long as I kill all of you, as long as I hold power, I can seize back everything that I need!”
After a pause, the G.o.d continued, “I know your purpose, too. You want to leave this huge tomb, right?”
Specter did not speak, but he stared at the G.o.d with widened eyes and was not willing to let his guard down.
“I can also tell you frankly that this tomb really…… has no exit.” The G.o.d’s expression was very erratic. He seemed to feel frustrated with himself, and he very absent-mindedly smiled. However, he remained aggressive toward Specter: “Since I signed a contract with the devil, he gave me the strength to build this tomb, but there were too few Yan clansmen. How could they build such a large tomb? So I searched around for a good location and found this cave that had formed naturally. ”
Specter’s face suddenly stiffened.
“Yes, this is a tomb built on the structure of a cave.” G.o.d did not know he had revealed the shocking truth. He continued to say, “This cave has only one entrance, and now it has been sealed. It’s also connected to an underground river, but you’d better not try to go out along it because this river leads to the deep sea. You will only be washed directly into the deep sea, or maybe you will have already died due to suffocation halfway through?”
Suddenly Specter felt that he did not know what to say, and a terrible thought took shape in his mind.
“And you’re here to get some kind of map from me…… Is that right?” G.o.d laughed in a slightly crazy manner.
“You… How? ” Specter was truly a little shocked.
“I can tell you that the map actually just depicts the layout of the mechanisms in the tomb. There is only one place it will finally take you to. It will lead you to the fierce underground river. The only place you will end up is the depths of the river. You will die without a burial place.”
Specter remained silent momentarily as he gazed at the G.o.d: “The secret chamber’s will would never send us to a chamber without an exit.”
“So, the so-called devil is called ‘the secret chamber’s will’ to you?” The G.o.d tilted his head and said, “It’s a pity that when the devil asked me to build the tomb, he especially reminded me to seal the entrance and exit and not to build any other exits.”
Then, the G.o.d suddenly revealed a grim smile: “In fact, there is a faster shortcut to send you out of this secret chamber.”
Specter did not understand, so he looked at him warily.
“It’d be faster if I send you to the western paradise, wouldn’t it?” When the G.o.d said this, he suddenly launched an attack. His thick, dense hair appeared like snakes as they attacked Specter. Specter’s hand shook, the rocket launcher he was carrying on his shoulder activated by him. But as he shot, the cannon had missed its target.
Such a result caused a trace of consternation to be reflected on Specter’s face. At such a close distance, according to the speed of its launch, no one could escape from it! But the truth was…… the so-called G.o.d had really dodged it. With a pull of the tree vines, the cannon had merely brushed past him. Then, he quickly approached Specter and stretched out his hand toward him. His hand was as thin as a withered branch and looked extremely frightening.
Specter’s melee combat power was almost zero.
But it did not mean that he would easily allow himself to die in close combat. If he was that weak, he would have died more than ten years ago.
However, just as he was about to carry out certain moves, an unexpected guest appeared in front of him and helped him block the attack. Then, Specter fixed his eyes on the person and saw that it was Duan Li, who was supposed to be in the corner a kilometer away.
This fellow’s speed was too fast.
Specter had heard of this thousand-faced man. It was said that he was a crook that often stabbed people behind their backs.
But later, Specter found that Duan Li never backstabbed others. Because he always charged from the front, due to his extremely fast speed, others could not see his movements clearly. Often, the person was chopped down without even witnessing his shadow, so it was often thought that he was a crook who stabbed others in the back.
And this crook, without a fixed place to stay, had wandered around various teams and finally settled down in a team full of strong players.
T/N: Because Kitty is busy today, this chapter is unedited (and the edited version would be up maybe tomorrow~)
Edit [30/8]: Edited Chapter is up!
The next chapter is a short extra chapter depicting Duan Li’s experience in his previous team that had Xing Yan as team captain. Duan Li is the focal character of the next chapter. Although it’s an extra chapter, the author chose to slot it at c92 because…well, it is kinda essential to the plot(?). So please look forward to it~
