Chapter 1058: Little Handsome Brother, Come In and Play
“I knew there was something strange going on here.”
“How could a large, prosperous city have such a place?”
“The Black Wind Cave, permeated with eeriness, was a place where almost everyone who enters will die and has a bunch of Corpse Eating Rats that try to kill people. How can such a place not have any abnormalities?” Luo Tian muttered to himself. After more than three hours of clearing, Luo Tian didn’t know how many meters deep he had trekked inside the Black Wind Cave.
He thought the cave had no end and would really reach the depths of h.e.l.l.
But now, he finally reached the bottom of the cave.
Moreover, the deepest part of the cave was a very weird looking place.
A large door!
There were three crooked words etched above the door. Because it was so old, he could only vaguely make out the three words Black Wind Sect.
“Did the Black Wind Cave used to be the Black Wind Sect?”
“So I’m in the underground ruins of the Black Wind Sect?” Luo Tian muttered. Judging from the rust peeling off the door, this door was at least thousands of years old. What happened here?
Not even ghosts knew.
Most likely, even the people of Towering Cloud City had no knowledge of this.
Thousands of years of change was too long.
Luo Tian didn’t have time to delve into the mysteries. From the moment he saw that iron door that looked thick and heavy, he felt an impulse to go in. It was as if there was a powerful force behind the door that was tempting him.
An irresistible temptation!
It was as if there was a voice saying, “Come. Come in. You should come in.”
The voice was flirtatious.
The voice was even more flirty than Black Widow’s voice. Luo Tian’s heart felt like a cat was scratching it. The evil fire inside him rose, similar to the temptation he had experienced in his previous life in the red light district. He would walk past those special stores, back and forth, wondering if he should go in or not.
Those girls with half of their b.r.e.a.s.t.s exposed would wave at him and say, “Handsome, come in and play for a bit.”
Every time, his mouth would go dry, and he wouldn’t dare to go in. It was like he was afraid of being eaten by them, but he still wanted to go in to be eaten. Ultimately, he would return to his small, dark apartment and ravage Teacher Sola Aoi. He endured many nights of impulsive thoughts and temptations where he could barely sleep a wink.
That tempting feeling had appeared again, just like that of his previous life.
Luo Tian’s mouth went dry, and his mind became chaotic. He felt like he couldn’t hold back any longer.
Without realizing it, he was slowly losing his mind.
The power behind the door was too strong!
Just when Luo Tian walked closer, the Fire Qilin acted like it knew Luo Tian had been bewitched. The Fire Qilin directly sprayed out a mouthful of flames at its master.
“Fwoosh~!”
“Fwoosh~!”
Luo Tian’s face turned dry and hot, and his body was in severe pain. Only when under this intense pain did he snap out of it. When he looked at where he was, cold sweat seeped out of his back. “Holy s.h.i.t, I almost kicked the bucket!”
“Good brother! Thank you!” Luo Tian said gratefully.
If the Fire Qilin hadn’t attacked him and made him snap out of it, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Luo Tian didn’t dare to treat this lightly and guarded his heart. He narrowed his eyes and didn’t look at the iron door any longer. Instead, he began searching around the area for the last Corpse Eating Rat he was short of leveling up. He didn’t have time to bother with what was behind the iron door because he had to level up first.
There wasn’t much time left.
If he didn’t hurry it up to level up, he would lose the bet, and the Heaven Sword would end up as someone else’s belonging. This was something he couldn’t allow to happen.
“Squeak~, squeak~…”
“Squeak~, squeak~…”
Squeaking sounds were suddenly heard coming from the side of the iron door.
This Corpse Eating Rat’s physique was a bit bigger than the other Corpse Eating Rats. There was also a faint golden glow coming from the soles of its feet. Even though it wasn’t that strong, it was enough to show that its level was higher than the average Corpse Eating Rat. Luo Tian guessed that it should be an elite level monster.
“I am just missing you!”
Luo Tian smiled coldly and taunted the Corpse Eating Rat, “Grandson, come over here.”
“Squeak~, squeak~…”
The Corpse Eating Rat glared fiercely at Luo Tian, its eyes filled with disdain like it was trying to say, “You’re the grandson! You come over here!”
“Holy s.h.i.t! Fire Qilin, go f.u.c.k him up!”
Luo Tian made a thought, commanding Fire Qilin to draw aggro. He wanted to pull the elite Corpse Eating Rat over to him and away from the iron door.
The Fire Qilin quickly charged over with ferocity.
Fire Qilin was a divine beast that possessed divine might. The aura coming from it was very strong, seemingly scaring the Corpse Eating Rat. Even though its body looked like it was trembling in fear, Luo Tian could see in its eyes that it wasn’t fear but a deceptive, sinister gaze.
Luo Tian felt that something weird was going on.
An unsettling feeling appeared in his heart.
He hastily tried to recall Fire Qilin, but the Corpse Eating Rat had already pounced over.
Clanking sounds were heard.
There was an iron chain attached to one of the Corpse Eating Rat’s legs. The clanking sound was caused by the chain being pulled. When it pounced over, its sharp claws made a swipe, releasing two sharp wind blades.
“Fwoosh~!”
The Fire Qilin’s reaction wasn’t slow. The moment the Corpse Eating Rat pounced over, it directly sprayed out a mouthful of thick inferno flame.
Fire splashed in all directions, lighting up every inch of the cave.
The walls of the cave were carved with all kinds of mysterious looking runes, as if there were some kind of secret behind them. It also looked like a kind of rune intended to seal something. Luo Tian couldn’t tell. The first feeling he got from seeing them was fear because he could sense a terrifying power coming from each character.
“What on earth is behind that door?”
If Luo Tian had known more about the Ancient World, he would have known that the mysterious and terrifying runes inside this cave were carved by a sorcerer, which meant that the Black Wind Sect was most likely sealed up in the depths of the earth by a powerful sorcerer.
“Swish~, swish~!” Two wind blades sliced over.
“Bang~!”
“Bang~!”
The Fire Qilin’s body slowly disappeared.
Its health bar was too little, instantly killed off by the two wind blades.
The Fire Qilin turned to look at Luo Tian, its eyes trying to convey, “You need to be careful!”
The moment the Fire Qilin died, its attack inflicted around 10,000 points of damage on the Corpse Eating Rat. This revealed the health of the elite Corpse Eating Rat, totaling 30,000. It had around 19,000 health points left, which was more than double the health of an ordinary Corpse Eating Rat.
Most importantly, the Fire Qilin was no longer here, so the surroundings were instantly plunged into darkness. Luo Tian’s cultivation at the Four Elements 9th rank only allowed him to see three meters around him. And it was just a fuzzy image. He couldn’t see anything further than three meters away.
“Squeak~, squeak~…”
“Squeak~, squeak~, squeak~, squeak~!”
The Corpse Eating Rat let out a series of joyful squeaks as if it were mocking Luo Tian.
Rage surged up inside Luo Tian.
“This daddy will f.u.c.k you up alone! Do you think I’m afraid of you?!”
Luo Tian stomped down and charged over. He had memorized the surroundings briefly, so he moved in a certain direction without actually attacking. Since his vision had been reduced, he was going to rely on his other senses to decide when to attack.
He released his spiritual senses in order to detect any fluctuations of energy around him.
“Squeak~, squeak~…”
The Corpse Eating Rat suddenly made a move after squeaking.
“Clank~, clank~!”
Sparks splattered from the ground when it was suddenly pulled.
Luo Tian furrowed his brow as he readied the Heaven Sword.
“Ommm~!” The sword started humming.
“Divine Explosion!”
“Boom~!”
A violent explosion surged from inside his body, releasing a powerful force outward. This force carried a trace of what seemed to be the power of the G.o.ds. When Berserk was upgraded to Divine Explosion, the power it embodied was no longer the old Berserk.
Luo Tian’s attributes instantly increased.
He started using up his yuan energy and allowed it to flow into his arms. The energy flowed into the Heaven Sword he was holding, and the aura the blade was exuding turned even brighter.
“Swish~, swish~!”
The Corpse Eating Rat swiped its claws out, and two sharp wind blades sliced over.
The airflow in the cave changed.
The direction of the yin infused air changed.
Luo Tian couldn’t see it, but his body could sense it. Before the wind blades could slice him up, he had already moved away in advance, feigning difficulty. The two wind blades slashed by without any danger to him. He then sneered, “Is that all you’ve got?”
Mocking!
The Corpse Eating Rat became upset as if it could understand Luo Tian. Its body moved through the air once more while pulling the chain behind it. Two sharp fangs were exposed as it hurtled through the air, attempting to bite at Luo Tian’s neck.
Luo Tian sneered and said, “I knew you would use this move.”
He put away the Heaven Sword, and all the power returned to his arms. His arms instantly grew large, with veins rippling. Instead of attacking with his sword or using the Heavenly Plume Shield to defend, Luo Tian suddenly used Shoulder Dash!
He didn’t dash into the Corpse Eating Rat but toward the chain attached to its leg.
“Shoulder Dash!”
“Whoosh~!”
His feet slid on the ground and quickly appeared behind the Corpse Eating Rat. Luo Tian grabbed the chain and smiled coldly, “You want to play sinister with this daddy? You are still way too young for that.”
Luo Tian was annoyed by the quick death of his Fire Qilin.
He had a feeling after the Corpse Eating Rat found its first attack missing, it would follow up with a second, different type of attack. That way, the chain attached to its leg would be pulled out a little longer.
If Luo Tian hadn’t pretended to barely dodge the first attack, the Corpse Eating Rat might have retreated to a.s.sess the situation.
Luo Tian would have no opportunity if that was the case.
When the Corpse Eating Rat realized Luo Tian was behind it and holding onto the chain, it started squeaking in shock.
Luo Tian didn’t give it a chance as he smiled arrogantly, “Now you’re afraid? It’s too late!”
After exerting strength, he held onto the chain and smashed it to the side.
“Bang~!”
The Corpse Eating Rat was slammed against the cave wall, and a red number appeared on top of the Corpse Eating Rat’s head.
“Heh heh…”
“Another one!”
The Corpse Eating Rat was slammed to the side a second time.
A third time, a fourth time…
Luo Tian was flinging the chain randomly without any pattern, using all his strength each time. He would level up after killing this elite Corpse Eating Rat. All his yuan energy will be replenished, so he didn’t care about its usage. He just kept flinging it all over the place like crazy.
If he were to fight this Corpse Eating Rat head on, Luo Tian felt that he might not be its match.
But with this method, the Corpse Eating Rat was completely powerless to fight back.
“Bang~, bang~, bang~…”
A lot of small rocks were shattered by the impact.
Blood splattered all over, and the Corpse Eating Rat was no longer moving. Luo Tian wasn’t going to stop until he heard the system give him an alert.
Half an hour later, the system finally gave an alert.
“Ding!”
Luo Tian sat on the ground while gasping for air. He then said excitedly, “It’s time for another system reward!”
