Chapter 3278: What Kind of Hobby Is This?

Su Xiao squatted down. His intuition told him there was someone in front. Just now he seemed to hear a frog croak, but the sound was very far away.

What's even stranger is that even though he knew it was unlikely for a frog to appear in a Nightmare, the sound made people instinctively ignore it.

The characteristic of this ability is concealment, and a huge amount of money was invested in it, the kind of "pay-to-win" that makes people jaw-dropping.

This ability's concealment characteristic is very strong. Lamp Sister didn't discover it, and Su Xiao, who is a melee technique type, didn't perceive it at close range either, but this ability has a huge weakness: the caster cannot move easily.

Su Xiao's hand reached toward the upper position, as if touching something. He pressed his two fingers together and plucked. Three or four pink hairs appeared on his fingertips. That's right, it's Morei.

Morei has been playing dead here. After learning this information, Su Xiao ignored Morei. In case of any changes, this would be a teammate again, which could be sacrificed like a hidden weapon.

Su Xiao carried the lantern and walked into the passage on the left, entering the storage room. A strange smell permeated.

All kinds of bottles and jars were piled up in the storage room. After searching, Su Xiao didn't find anything of value. The treasures here should have been taken away by the Sun Church. For Su Xiao, who had just looted the Sun Church's treasury not long ago, the experience was strange.

Out of the storage room, Su Xiao walked toward the room with the giant glass column opposite. After walking not far, he felt he stepped on something again, as if it was still someone's lower abdomen.

According to Su Xiao's memory, Morei was not here just now. This was obviously moving to another place and then blocking the way again.

"Quack~"

A trembling sound appeared. Being stepped on three times by Su Xiao was not a pleasant experience.

Bypassing Morei, Su Xiao walked into the room in front. A deep light blue light shone from the room.

This light came from a test tube nearly ten meters in diameter. In the translucent solution that emitted light, a tumor about 6 meters in diameter was soaked. This tumor was circular as a whole, with connective tissue like optic nerves growing on the back. In this tumor, which was nearly 6 meters in diameter and had exposed flesh, a huge eye was wrapped.

The pupil of this giant eye was pitch black, and there were bloodshot eyes in the whites of the eyes. Its appearance was 90% similar to the Swollen Eye, but it did not emit Turbid Light.

The super-giant glass column was half-embedded in the ground. Although this giant eye was huge, it was looking at Su Xiao horizontally, as if someone had deliberately set it up this way.

Based on perception, it could be determined that this giant eye was still alive, but it had no threat, just looking at Su Xiao.

Su Xiao's hand pressed on the glass column. In the solution, the giant eye raised an optic nerve, like a hand, and pressed it on the other side of the glass column, just opposite Su Xiao's hand. Not to mention danger, this thing was actually a bit cute, just a bit ugly.

After seeing this giant eye, Su Xiao was thinking, is this the origin of the Swollen Eye? Or rather, did the power called "Wrath of the Sea" that the dynasty got from the deep sea come from this giant eye?

This giant eye is indeed a bit cute, but it is a key detention object of the dynasty and the Sun Church, plus it has coexisted peacefully with Lamp Sister for so long, indicating that it is not weak at all. Given the current situation, rashly starting a war with this giant eye is unwise.

There was nothing else in the room. Leaving like this always felt like missing something. Su Xiao pondered for a moment, placed the lantern in front of his feet, his left hand behind his back, his right arm stretched out to the side, and his index finger pointed to the right.

After Su Xiao made this action, the giant eye in the glass column shifted its gaze and looked to the right where Su Xiao pointed. On the wall on the right, there were many small pits of different sizes.

The action Su Xiao made was drawn on the wall next to the Swollen Eye he found in Nightmare Eternal Hope Town. He had made this action toward the Swollen Eye before. Now that he encountered the giant eye, of course, he had to try it.

The scene reached a stalemate. After Su Xiao maintained this action for 1 minute and 30 seconds, the gaze of the giant eye in the glass column returned to Su Xiao.

【Hint: You have established contact with the Eye of the Deep Sea.】

【The Eye of the Deep Sea will be weak for 548 days.】

【You have obtained the Soul Seal (After leaving this world, this seal will lose the blessing of World Power and cannot continue to take effect, that is, after leaving this world, this seal will disappear).】

【Soul Seal Passive Effect: Sanity Value +200 points.】

【Sanity Value upper limit has reached 415 points (Hunter's own sanity reduced by 50% is 165 points + Sun Suit extra increase of 50 points + Soul Seal extra increase of 200 points).】

The sanity value increased by a large margin. As for the head bucket, whether it is the 【Sun Head Bucket】 or the 【Church Knight Head Bucket】, the 50% sanity value increased and reduced is calculated based on Su Xiao's own 330 points of sanity value, while the extra sanity value increased by the "Sun Church Suit" and "Soul Seal" is not calculated.

If he puts on the Sun Head Bucket, Su Xiao's sanity value can reach 745 points. Since there is a method to increase sanity value only within this world, Su Xiao estimates that his sanity value breaking 1000 should be no problem.

There is nothing worth exploring in this room. After Su Xiao left the room, he walked toward the double doors of the patient room. After walking not far, he stepped on something again.

"Quack?"

This "quack" contained heavy grievances and disbelief.

Su Xiao frowned, unable to understand what kind of hobby Morei had.

In fact, Morei was not looking to be stepped on. After she was concealed, she could lie on her back on the ground and move her body slowly. The slower she moved, the less likely she was to be discovered. The necessary condition was that when she moved, she had to lie on her back on the ground, with her entire back touching the ground.

When Lamp Sister was in the utility hall before, Morei thought, since she was already here, looking at the situation, she would have to consume a good thing to restore sanity later, so she might as well explore.

Because Lamp Sister was nearby, Morei only dared to move toward the storage room at a particularly slow speed. Just as she spent all her efforts and was about to succeed and enter the storage room, a change occurred. The secret-patterned code door suddenly opened, and Lamp Sister entered the secret room.

This made Morei happy. Lamp Sister entered the secret room, she accelerated, and then Su Xiao, carrying the lantern, walked out of the secret room. In Morei's hopeless eyes, he stepped on her lower abdomen.

Morei's thought at the time was: 'You can step on me if you want. You can't see me or perceive me, so it's understandable that you stepped on me, but why did you tentatively step on me a second time? Huh? And finally, you plucked four of my hairs.'

Being stepped on was not the most depressing thing. With Morei's current posture, she was moving at a turtle's speed. Su Xiao, carrying the lantern, was much faster than Morei and walked into the storage room first.

After seeing this scene, Morei turned her target to the room with the giant glass column. Then, Su Xiao, who had finished exploring the storage room, stepped on Morei again along the way. Both had the same destination, so the probability of stepping on her was high.

Seeing this scene, Morei decided to endure it. Could she just leave? So she started to move toward the door of the patient room, but she hadn't moved far before she was stepped on again by Su Xiao, who was about to leave.

Zui Ya, who was playing dead on the dissection table, watched all this throughout. Of course, he knew why Su Xiao's foot couldn't land. Playing dead is not an easy thing, and playing dead while maintaining seriousness becomes very difficult in this scene.

Just as Su Xiao was about to bypass Morei, he discovered that Morei's translucent figure appeared. For some reason, she lay on her back on the ground, and then moved her body forward by bending her legs and pushing the ground with the soles of her feet. Perhaps because she moved too fast, she could no longer maintain secrecy.

With a boom, the secret-patterned code door Morei was closed. She stood up and fled, guessing that even if Lamp Sister could open the door, she would have to study how to open it. This place should not be stayed in for long, so slip away first.

Click~

The secret-patterned code door was opened by the mechanism. In the secret room, Lamp Sister, stepping on the mechanism lever with one foot, stood there, and the searchlight head emitted Turbid Light.

Morei, who was still running just now, at the moment the door opened, hugged her shoulders with both hands, jumped up, turned 180° in mid-air, and then lay on her back against the wall with a slap, closed her eyes, kicked her legs, quack~

Su Xiao carried the lantern and walked out. After knowing the cracking method, this Nightmare was not too dangerous. After passing through the patient room, the main corridor, and the curved corridor, he returned to the room where he came from. A castle doctor was still hanging there.

Su Xiao sat on the chair that blocked the corridor. This is the exit of the Nightmare.

Everything became blurred. After a strong sense of rejection, black-purple light and shadow flickered before Su Xiao's eyes. When his eyes regained brightness, he was already standing in the Shelter Hall. In front was the open castle ward door, and the darkness and purple brilliance inside remained.

Su Xiao's sanity value had 36 points left. After taking off the head bucket, he walked toward his safe room. After walking a few steps, he found that the door of Room No. 5 was open a crack.

Sizzle~

The World Severing Line popped out. Su Xiao stood in front of his safe room door. After opening the door, he pulled the World Severing Line.

The opposite Room No. 5 door opened, and a faint light shone through the ceiling inside. Apart from that, the room was empty.

The Trace King in Room No. 5 was gone, heading to an unknown destination. Su Xiao entered the safe room and closed the door. Not long after, Bubu Wang and Baha returned. Su Xiao learned that the Trace King in Room No. 5 had entered the third Painted World.

Su Xiao lay on the sofa. Not far away, the maid Anasi sang a lullaby, which made Su Xiao feel his spirit gradually relaxing. A type of energy that invaded his body and was completely spiritual in nature drifted away. This energy was too special and was not of the same system as the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy. It belonged to the spiritual system and was too ethereal to be devoured by the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy.

It won't be long before the third Painted World begins. Su Xiao estimates that this is the last round of searching and competing for scroll fragments. By the fourth Painted World, it will be the decisive battle circle. It is very likely that there is not even a single scroll fragment there, and it is the place where the participants will have a decisive battle.

The effect of the lullaby was very good. Su Xiao's sanity value gradually recovered. After about six hours, his sanity value was fully recovered.

With full sanity, his thinking became much clearer. Su Xiao sat cross-legged and meditated. After meditating for two hours, the Void Tree's announcement appeared.

【Announcement (Void Tree): All participants must enter the Painted World: Bottom of the Sea within 10 minutes.】

Upon receiving this hint, Su Xiao, who was meditating, opened his eyes. The third Painted World is at the bottom of the sea. This is both expected and lucky. He doesn't believe Sun Bird Taihakak dares to chase him to the bottom of the sea. If it comes, he will make the other party never return.

Su Xiao untied the wolf claw pendant from his waist and replaced the 【Wolf Blood Moon Ornament】 pendant with 【Deep Sea Slumber】.

【Deep Sea Slumber (Immortal Grade Ornament)】

Equipment Prerequisite: Stamina Attribute 6 points.

Equipment Effect (Unique): Can obtain underwater breathing ability, underwater movement speed increased by 1.2 times, health recovery speed increased by 270%, drinking potion effect increased by 30% (recovery potions, functional potions, etc., permanent gain potions are invalid).
