Chapter 3999: Blood Mist Room

~10 min read 1,877 words

"【Sharp Eye Technique】 should also be a heritage of the 【Magic Eye Club】, right?"

Xia De thought in his heart. He currently possesses two abilities related to eyes, which are 【Blood Echo】 that has accompanied him all the way, and 【Edwards' Eye】 obtained in the Green Lake area. The former tracks bloodstains, and the latter helps Xia De distinguish the unnatural transformation parts of biological bodies.

And the miracle from the Edwards family will surely play a very large role in the upcoming adventure in Arcadia City.

To learn the miracle, he has to wait until he returns home, so Xia De put the paper away for the time being and decided to repay the halfling girl if he had the chance later. Because he felt that he had taken this gift for nothing, and the girl didn't need to apologize to him so sincerely at all.

Soon, the old witch and Gina also finished praying. The former received the blessing of the True God, and the effects of the divine arts cast by the old witch would be enhanced for a long time. And Gina obtained another form transformation of the "Bubble Spell":

"Bubble Spell · Eggshell Shield, I can transform the blown bubbles into a full-body shield in the shape of a dragon eggshell. That great one is really too kind to me! After returning to the academy, I want to tell the children stories about Him!"

The halfling girl who finished praying first also had a great harvest. Although she claimed to be a shallow believer, as a high-tier witch of the halfling race, she still received great help from her race's god. Now she no longer needs to hide the abilities that her sister didn't want her to show easily, so the short girl told everyone everything:

"Besides divine arts and mechanical abilities, I actually also know 【Magic Pupil Technique】, which can temporarily use the abilities of many magic eyes that my sister let me observe before. Just now my Lord blessed me and let me obtain this."

Fire ignited at her fingertips, but it was not the fire of life, but pure flame. Lady Gustav saw a church in it, Gina saw the academy, and Xia De saw No. 6 St. Deran Square.

"Divine Art · Warm Fire. This flame has no combat ability, but when we rest, the firelight I ignite can allow everyone to recover better... This seems to be an ability created by a halfling fire-holding nun who mastered the 【Primordial Fire】 in the distant past."

The short girl said happily. Xia De was in a trance for a moment, but said nothing.

Lady Gustav exhorted:

"Then be prepared to face the next battle. Although all perceptions in this place have been affected, I believe my premonition of danger will not be wrong. There must be powerful enemies waiting for us ahead. The crying sound I can hear is also getting louder and louder. Looking at the bright side, perhaps after we defeat the powerful enemy, we can find the third life furnace."

The three Xia De nodded together, and Xia De even said:

"Next, I will walk in the front with the lady."

The old witch did not refuse:

"Now everyone use the star dew brought by Mr. Hamilton for the last recovery, and then set off."

The four passed through this simple and solemn room and came to the door at the end. In fact, there is another question that everyone tacitly did not mention, which is why there are so many holy emblems of gods in this strange place.

Once this question is discussed, it will inevitably involve the relationship between this so-called "factory" and that god who cannot be mentioned here, so the four people tacitly said nothing.

The door was opened, and the choking stench made Xia De, who was already hungry and uncomfortable, feel a sharp pain in his stomach.

Thick blood mist rushed towards them. The visibility in the room outside the door was not even one meter, so it was impossible to observe how big the room was, let alone know the height of the ceiling from the ground. Perhaps after walking a few dozen steps, one could see the other side of the room, or perhaps this room was a vast indoor blood-colored plain.

Although the four people were only looking outside the door at the moment, the supernatural perception ability, which was already severely limited in this factory, was obviously more severely limited after coming into contact with the thick blood mist that escaped from behind the door.

"Have you encountered this kind of room?"

"No, we don't know all the rooms here either."

Gina whispered, her tail wrapped around her waist to seek a sense of security.

"We have walked for so long listening to the crying, we can't take a detour anymore."

Lady Gustav said, and the twelfth-tier witch could not see through the blood mist here:

"Before entering, although we can ensure that the four people will not be easily separated by casting spells, we must also be prepared to be forced to separate."

She exhorted everyone:

"Once you confirm that you are separated from your companions, when you meet your companions again, you must confirm the other party's identity before approaching."

She said, taking out a few nuts from Gina's small bag and attaching a layer of divine golden light to them:

"In case of separation, I will rely on this to find you."

The other three each took a nut, and Xia De said:

"I will apply a special mark to you so that I can also vaguely sense your position. Although I don't know how much effect it can have in the blood mist, having it is better than not having it."

He said, and also attached the moon mark to the backs of the three witches' hands, and promised to eliminate the mark after leaving the room.

Gina shared small bubbles with everyone, hiding them in everyone's collars, and the halfling girl did not have similar abilities, so she could only hope not to be separated.

Then the old witch cast a spell to connect everyone with golden lines, ensuring that everyone could see each other's position in the mist. And Xia De took out a thin rope, letting everyone tie it around their waists. This would not limit their mobility; everyone here had the means to break free from the rope immediately.

After making preparations, everyone stepped over the door together. Thus, the four people's shoes stepped into the blood water at the same time. The terrain of the brand-new room was still completely level, but there was a layer of blood water on the floor that almost submerged the insteps.

"Water walking is ineffective, and flying is also limited here..."

Even though a protective spell was applied to prevent blood water or other strange things from coming into contact with themselves through the gaps between shoes and trousers, everyone still felt strong discomfort. And after completely entering this thick blood mist, even Xia De felt a tingling sensation on his whole body's skin; they absolutely could not stay here for a long time.

"Wait a minute, I'll try to become bigger and take all of you to run forward wildly."

Xia De said, but stopped immediately after preparing to cast the spell:

"No, once the form is changed, even I will be affected by flesh-and-blood aberration; the blood mist in this room is too thick."

"It doesn't matter, this shows that the other party is waiting for us. Everyone pay attention to safety, the source of the crying is here, follow me."

The old witch grabbed the rope around her waist and said, and the three followed immediately. Gina even picked up Miss Bladevi, and the latter did not resist.

It was very quiet in the mist, even to the point of being deathly silent, but all four were very sure that something was staring at them in this blood mist, and as everyone moved forward, Xia De clearly felt that he was getting closer and closer to the source of the gaze in the mist.

He had a lot of experience being watched by powerful existences, so he was very sure that his feeling was not wrong. He wanted to open his mouth to remind his companions, but suddenly his ears caught a strange sound in the mist.

Because Xia De also tried to enter a dream to listen to the crying last time, he immediately distinguished that the sound coming from the mist at this moment was exactly the same as the crying he heard after entering the dream.

And thinking of this, Xia De felt his heart jump suddenly:

"I didn't enter a dream, how could I hear this sound... Wait a minute, is this a trap?"

He stopped immediately, only hearing *patta, patta* sounds coming from the front and back one after another. Lady Gustav, Gina, and Miss Bladevi all scattered into pieces of foul-smelling blood clots and fell into the blood water under their feet.

【Not them.】

"I know, I was replaced without knowing it. Having a field bonus is really powerful; at such a close distance, I didn't feel anything at all."

He pressed his left chest with his hand, feeling his heart beating rapidly *thump, thump*. It was not fear, but the crying in the mist was getting louder and louder. In the state where Xia De stood still, the crying was actively approaching.

"Moon Mark."

Xia De could vaguely sense that the three companions were in three different directions, but they were all still alive. He felt a little relieved, did not choose to run away, but stood in place, using "Life Tempering" for the final recovery while waiting quietly.

A moment later, in the depths of the thick blood mist, a huge pitch-black figure became clearer and clearer. The figure was at least five meters tall, but it was not a five-meter-tall giant, but something crawling on its hands and feet.

"Tsk~ I have a premonition that what I see in a while will definitely be very, very disgusting."

Xia De took a deep breath and prepared to transform to deal with this behemoth. This was the other party's home field; no matter what that thing was, its recovery ability must be very strong. He intended to drag this thing as much as possible to give Lady Gustav a chance to find her companions.

"If I feel disgusted and uncomfortable in a while, please laugh in my ear; this will make me feel better."

Xia De exhorted at the end, and squeezed a small part of the bubble that Gina left for him.

"She" laughed softly:

【No problem, I am with you.】

The blood-colored light spots floating around due to 【Life Tempering】 were absorbed by Xia De. He summoned the 【Blood Moon Arc】 longbow, and turned the red moon into a thin sword. While drawing the bow and arrow, he meditated on that round of crimson moonlight, hoping to strengthen the effect of "flesh-and-blood corrosion". "She" laughed softly, and Xia De himself didn't notice that the red blood moon was floating in his eyes at this moment. ===== CHAPTER 4000 =====
