Chapter 190

~8 min read 1,519 words

In the darkness, a terrifying roar would occasionally erupt.

It made one shudder.

The man was walking on the road to the first level.

The panic in his chest had not yet subsided.

He couldn't afford to provoke that "my lord" in the stone room.

Whatever that "my lord" wanted to obtain,

he had to get it done for him.

That was the rule.

Not far from the road,

several blood-covered people suddenly rushed out.

The man was startled and went to meet them.

"What's going on?"

"It's bad! General! Someone has killed their way up from the first level, our brothers have been wiped out!"

"Yuren? Who is that?"

The General was already in a state of confusion.

He had never heard of an enemy of theirs named "Yuren."

Although he had many questions in his heart,

as a General, he was able to calm down quickly:

"Is it just 'Yuren' alone?"

The blood-covered man nodded:

"Yes, just him alone!"

"Damn it, he's got some nerve! Daring to come alone, hurry and seal all the exits."

"I'm going to catch him like a turtle in a jar!"

The General grinned with a wide mouth, laughing sinisterly.

"What? Say that again!"

The General grabbed a squad leader by the collar and shook him frantically.

"He has already killed his way here, please, Captain, run for your life."

The squad leader was trembling all over.

He grabbed the General's hand and looked at him in terror.

"How is that possible, how is that possible? I have already sealed all the exits!"

The General looked incredulous.

This was a massive organization.

There were over 10,000 people in the cave.

How could he possibly kill so many people directly?

The General felt a sense of unease as he looked at the squad leader's terrified eyes.

He loosened his arm and let go of the squad leader's collar.

"That person is too terrifying, I ran away to get here, I didn't even dare to look into his eyes."

The squad leader's trembling appearance made it seem as if he had seen a "devil."

A chill ran down the General's back.

What kind of terrifying thing could have happened

to make his battle-hardened subordinates so afraid?

From this, it seemed what he said was true.

"This can't go on, I must notify the BOSS!"

The General said this and turned to walk out of the stone room.

On the other side,

Hoshino Ki arrived at a mysterious stone chamber after his massive slaughter.

In the very center of the stone chamber was a recessed pit.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

"???"

Hoshino Ki put away his weapon.

After working hard for half a day, was this all there was?

He didn't believe it!

So Hoshino Ki wandered around the stone chamber looking for "treasure."

He came to the center of the deep pit in the middle of the secret chamber.

He didn't find anything suspicious.

"......"

Ridiculous, right?

Empty.

Even getting some bathwater out to clean himself would have been nice!

He raised his head and looked around.

He unexpectedly discovered that the walls were embedded with some sparkling colored stones?!

Hoshino Ki instantly jumped out of the pit and went to the wall.

Could they be diamonds???

Hoshino Ki raised his hand and pried a large one off, placing it in his palm.

It shouldn't be made of glass, right?

Hoshino Ki exhaled a breath of air onto the stone.

Real diamonds have excellent thermal conductivity and heat transfer.

When exhaling hot air onto a diamond,

the heat on the surface of a real diamond will disappear very quickly.

While the heat on the surface of a fake diamond will linger for a long time.

"!!!"

The heat on the stone disappeared instantly!

It really was a diamond.

Hoshino Ki looked around.

The walls of the entire room were covered with colorful diamonds.

How could he let such good things go?

"Whoosh!"

Hoshino Ki spread out his black robe and laid it flat on the floor.

Then he raised his scythe and hacked away at the wall.

In no time at all, all the diamonds had been knocked into the black robe.

Hoshino Ki tied the corners of the black robe tightly and slung it over his shoulder.

After jumping a few times to ensure nothing would fall out, he nodded with satisfaction.

This round of wool-gathering was truly satisfying!

Just the moment Hoshino Ki was about to turn and leave,

the recessed pit in the center of the room suddenly began to fill automatically.

"!!!"

Hoshino Ki paused slightly and leaned in to look...

The pit was already full.

The mist floating on the surface gave one a feeling of being ethereal.

Was this deep pit actually a large bathtub?!

An extra benefit?

Having just experienced a great battle,

Hoshino Ki was already exhausted, and the muscles all over his body were beginning to ache.

With such a natural bath pool in front of him, how could he let it go?

Hoshino Ki immediately took off his clothes and entered the bath pool.

The temperature was just right.

It allowed his exhausted body to be fully relaxed.

He felt that this bath pool seemed different from ordinary ones.

It wasn't that Hoshino Ki hadn't enjoyed Japanese hot springs.

In fact, he was a regular at hot springs.

Whenever he was physically and mentally exhausted, he would go to a nearby hot spring to soak.

But the effects of those pools were completely incomparable to this one.

Hoshino Ki closed his eyes and leaned against the edge of the pool.

He breathed slowly, then relaxed his body and spread his arms.

His entire body began to float in the water.

This feeling was wonderful.

It was as if countless beauties were massaging him.

It was simply a paradise on earth!

It wasn't just physical recovery.

He also felt an unprecedented sense of nourishment in his mental power.

Every pore on his body was opening up.

Greedily devouring the energy in the bath pool.

The excessive consumption brought about by the great battle completely disappeared.

If Hoshino Ki didn't have extremely high vigilance, he might have just fallen asleep in the pool.

[Ding! Detected that the host is receiving special energy input, all body attributes +1.]

"!!!"

Hoshino Ki opened his eyes instantly.

Who would have thought there would be an unexpected gain?

This was a huge profit!

Who would have thought that just by taking a bath,

he would have points added directly to his attributes!

Just as he was enjoying the bath,

the water in the pool was quietly becoming turbid.

Observing carefully, one would find

that the clean water was being released again after being absorbed by Hoshino Ki.

Repeating the cycle to form a loop.

It seemed that before long, the "essence" in the pool would be completely absorbed by Hoshino Ki.

[Ding! Detected that the host is receiving special energy input, all body attributes +1.]

Another system notification sound.

The bonus wasn't just once?

It seemed he couldn't leave just yet...

Keep soaking!

Just like that, Hoshino Ki closed his eyes again and continued to enjoy the bath.

Half an hour later, he opened his eyes.

He stepped out of the pool.

Turning his head to look...

The pool was already murky and foul!

After the bath,

Hoshino Ki's spirit and body had once again returned to their best state.

His attribute power had also increased by 10 points each.

Hoshino Ki stood on the floor and stretched.

"Truly comfortable!"

He couldn't help but exclaim.

[Ding! Detected that the host's body has been baptized by mysterious power, absorbing a large amount of spirit spring energy, successfully activating the epic-level talent "Pure Body."]

"???"

Epic-level... talent?

This term was truly fresh.

It was actually the first time he had seen it.

So besides skills, there were also talents...

Hoshino Ki immediately checked the system panel.

[Epic-level talent: Pure Body]

[Detailed introduction:]

[1. Lifespan increased by 1.0, disease incidence reduced by 50%.]

[2. Toxin immunity, forming a barrier against all toxins.]

[3. Physical fitness improved, all attribute bonuses increased.]

[4. Wound recovery speed increased; once a wound appears, recovery speed increases by 50%.]

Nothing else was strange.

The first point alone was enough to shock anyone.

Who doesn't want to prolong their life?

According to the average human lifespan,

the time Hoshino Ki could survive in this world was only a few decades left.

Calculating carefully, these few decades were actually just a snap of the fingers.

A person's life passes very quickly.

After working hard for a lifetime, having no time to enjoy it?

That is not a wonderful life!

The second, toxin immunity, was not unfamiliar.

He had also obtained similar skills in simulations before.

So it seemed that the two combined didn't...

[Ding! Toxin antibody and toxin immunity... calculating fusion...]

"???"

Hoshino Ki paused slightly.

[Calculation complete! Activated epic-level talent—Poison Master.]

"!!!"

Too explosive, right?

What kind of development was this?

Hoshino Ki tapped his finger on Poison Master again.

[Epic-level talent: Poison Master]
