However, after the initial shock, it was not panic that appeared.
Some people would crumble under extreme pressure, but others … would awaken.
When Xiao Ling was dragged through the door, Wang Tanzhi did not crumble. If anything, his Terror Points dropped rapidly, and his mind started to turn.
One second later, he took two steps forward, grabbed the copper handle, and pushed.
But the door … did not budge.
"Something's not right …" Xiao Tan immediately activated Eagle Eye to observe. It was fine if the door did not open, but once it did, he realized … not only the door, the whole temple was shrouded in a ghost energy that was hard to see with the naked eye. Therefore, even if he chose to jump over the wall, he would not be able to get in.
"So, that's how it is …" Xiao Tan mumbled. "Theoretically speaking, this door should not be able to be pushed open. Xiao Ling was able to push it open because the thing behind the door did it on purpose. To put it bluntly … this is a trap."
With that in mind, he focused his mind, and in less than half a second, his Sorcery Weapon, Sigh, was already in his hand.
Then, without saying a word, Wang Tanzhi swung his arm and slashed repeatedly. Relying on the weapon's special effect, "Flame Devour", he managed to cut out a rectangular "door" on the door.
As the thick door that had been cut off fell down, a thick stench of blood gushed out from the door.
But at that moment, Xiao Tan did not care about that. His focus was fully focused on how to save Xiao Ling. This kind of discomfort on the level of smell could be ignored through sheer willpower.
"She must not have gone too far … Where is she?" Xiao Tan did not hesitate to pass through the Temple of the Three Doors (also known as the Temple of the Mountain Gate). Normally, there were three doors that stood side by side, hence the name. In other words, the Three Doors referred to the Door of Emptiness, the Door of Formless, and the Door of Wishless. He was mumbling something.
He maintained Eagle Eye and scanned the courtyard behind the door at high speed. Soon … he discovered the blood mist.
As Xiao Ling was still struggling in the mist, the movement of the blood mist was greatly affected. Therefore, when Xiao Tan broke through the door, the blood mist moved to the incense burner in front of the hall.
Chi —
There was a sudden sound and a figure appeared.
Wang Tanzhi took a step forward, his power was like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he had already circled to the front of the blood mist.
"Stop." His frosty words and resolute gaze actually made the monster holding Xiao Ling unable to move for a moment.
After a short confrontation, the blood mist dissipated.
Then, he saw … an extremely beautiful woman appear in the fog.
This woman was born with skin as smooth as jade, a face like a peach blossom, white teeth, bright eyes, and cherry red lips. There was a faint blush on her pale face, and her facial features were so exquisite that no one could pick out any flaws.
She was dressed in red, like a bride who was about to be married. Even though the clothes did not show off her figure, her posture was still very slender, and her figure was very suitable for her.
"Yo ~ Where did this little brother come from? You're really handsome ~" After the woman "appeared", she grabbed Xiao Ling's neck with one hand and turned around. She used her beautiful eyes to look at Xiao Tan from head to toe. "You … Why are you looking for me?"
Wang Tanzhi looked at her coldly and was silent for a few seconds.
Through Eagle Eye, Xiao Tan realized that this was a very strong monster (due to the special effect of [Shadow of the Knell], the effect of [Eagle Eye] had been raised to Level S) … It was at least at the level of a mini boss. Therefore, in these few seconds, he was ready to fight with all his might.
A few seconds later, he replied with two words, "Let her go."
"Heh …" The woman smiled charmingly, "What … Could it be that this girl is little brother's lover?"
"Yes." Xiao Tan gave another concise reply.
At this moment, all the single people who were watching the livestream received a lot of real damage.
"I see …" The woman tilted her head slightly and pretended to look at Xiao Ling. "Take a closer look … This girl is quite beautiful, and quite compatible with you … Heh heh …" She smiled eerily. "I wonder … If she doesn't have this face … Will you still fall in love with her?"
Before she finished, there was a sudden change!
The woman's cherry-like mouth split open in a second and expanded to an unimaginable size. Her face also became ugly and horrifying due to the expansion of her mouth. She did not look human at all.
She opened her bloody mouth and bit down on Xiao Ling's face.
At this moment, Spirity was unable to effectively resist this attack … Because when Spirity was sucked into the blood mist, her status window showed that she had been inflicted with a debuff. Unless the opponent was willing to let her go … she would not be able to take out anything from her inventory, nor would she be able to use any skills.
Furthermore, Xiao Ling's close combat skills were not that good. In terms of brute force, she was definitely not a match for this boss-level monster. Therefore, she had no choice but to take the attack head-on.
However, Wang Tanzhi would not let that happen.
Even though the monster's attack was sudden and fast, Xiao Tan's reaction and movement were faster.
"Name: Soul of the Wolf — Speed
"Item Type: Other
"Quality: Perfect
"Special Effect: When this magic device is in your inventory, you will gain a special ability of the Soul of the Wolf.
"Remark: This item can be activated once every ten minutes. Each activation consumes 300 Stamina Points. Within three seconds after activation, the user's speed will be tripled. "
This magic device was the second "treasure" that Xiao Tan obtained from Blackbeard's treasure. This meant that he gained an additional skill. This skill did not take up any skill bar and had a 100% success rate.
Of course, since it was an item effect, this skill did not belong to any specialization and would not enjoy the buff from [Shadow of the Knell].
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, there was a strong wind. Wang Tanzhi's body blurred and turned into a shadow as he dashed towards the monster.
Wherever the blade passed, the black flame was ignited.
In an instant, the monster's head was split in half from the middle. The upper and lower parts of her lips were completely separated.
Seeing that half of her head had flown off, she naturally couldn't keep her mouth shut anymore …
At the same time, Xiao Ling felt the pressure on her body lighten. This was no doubt a sign that the debuff had been removed. She immediately twisted her body and escaped from the monster's grip.
Then, the monster's body fell to the ground … This was to be expected, because before its body fell, its soul was already gone.
"Are you okay?" Xiao Tan turned around and asked Xiao Ling with concern.
"I'm fine." Xiao Ling answered and then continued with a frown, "But … that was a mistake. One mistake and I almost died at the monster's hands."
"That's not your fault." Xiao Tan added, "Using the standard of survival mode, this scenario's difficulty should be a team's nightmare. That's why there was such a sudden death." He paused and glanced at the monster on the ground. "Don't be fooled by how easy it looked for me to kill her. Actually, she was very strong."
When he said that, the monster's' body 'slowly dissolved into blood and seeped into the cracks on the ground.
"I know." Xiao Ling quickly added. "Be it strength, speed, or ability … this thing is already comparable to a big boss in a normal scenario." As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and muttered, "And from her few lines and her performance … her personality is quite bad."
"Hmm … In any case, we'll have to be more careful from now on." At that moment, Xiao Tan had unknowingly returned to his usual gentle, polite, and adorable self. His arrogant presence had disappeared like a puff of smoke.
"Humph … You've become so arrogant just because you saved me once." Xiao Ling made a face at Xiao Tan. She stuck out her tongue and said, "Then, you'll walk in front this time."
Xiao Tan swallowed, and he did not hide the fear on his face. "Er … but … I'm afraid of ghosts."
"Haha." Xiao Ling laughed drily. "Then, who do you think should lead the way?"
This was not supposed to be a problem, but Xiao Tan really gave it some thought, and he really did come up with an idea. "Hmm … I've got it!" Then, he took out Dog Whistle from his inventory with glowing eyes and placed it in his mouth …
