"Humph …" Miao Xuzi snorted coldly with a ferocious look on his face. "You just took a hit from my staff, and you're already so proud of yourself?"
"What? Isn't that enough? "Feng Bujue sighed." Sigh … It seems that you won't understand if I explain it to you. "
"What don't I understand?" Miao Xuzi asked tentatively.
"What you don't understand is …" Feng Bujue was still a few meters away from Miao Xuzi when he said the first half of the sentence. "… The influence of the barrier on us has disappeared." When the second half of the sentence reached Miao Xuzi's ears, Feng Bujue had already arrived beside him and used the shameless divine skill, Naughty Kid's Lower Whip Kick.
"Ah! Ah!" Miao Xuzi fell down with a familiar and inexplicably funny scream.
Until his death, he still couldn't figure it out. He was standing steadily on the ground with a staff in his hand. How did he trip?
Fortunately, this question didn't bother him for too long because his life was soon ended by a kitchen knife.
When Miao Xuzi's body fell to the ground and gradually turned into pus and blood, Ruo Yu asked Feng Bujue, "Has the restriction on your skill been lifted?"
Before Brother Jue could answer, Xiao Ling walked over and answered, "Yes, the restriction on all three of us has been lifted."
"It's just that …" Xiao Tan looked depressed. "We paid a certain price. To be exact, we ate something very disgusting."
"I won't ask you what you ate," Ruo Yu replied indifferently.
"Then let's continue with the operation." Feng Bujue took over from Ruo Yu. "I'll tell you about the information we got in the Fragrant Kitchen later as we walk." When he said that, he squatted down and picked up a stone key about the size of a toothbrush from the pool of blood that was Miao Xuzi. "So far, everything is going according to my plan." He stood up and shrugged. "Although I have no idea what's going on with Zombie Blade and his gang, I can confirm that … they are all 'out of form' today. They pose no threat to us." He turned his head and signaled at the tower in the distance with his eyes. "We'll split up. You, me, and Xiao Ling will go to explore the final boss and ultimate treasure in this scenario." He then looked at Wang Tanzhi. "Xiao Tan, you'll be responsible for tracking First, First, and Final Assault.
"Huh? You want me to go alone? "Xiao Tan pointed at his own nose and asked," That won't be a suicide mission, right? "
"How is that possible?" Feng Bujue chuckled and leaned close to Xiao Tan to whisper into his ear. "In this scenario, you have a natural advantage. The fixed effect of Shadow of the Knell allows your fighting and scouting skills to not be affected by the barrier. You were able to one-shot the 'human' spirit … because of that." He paused. "And now, with the buff from Oink's bowl of meat soup, not only can you ignore the negative effect of the barrier, you can also recover 1% Life Points every five seconds. It's more than enough to deal with two injured people who can't use their skills. "
"Hmm … I see …" Xiao Tan would always trust his Brother Jue unconditionally, so when he heard that, he felt much better.
Feng Bujue then returned to his normal voice. "After all, the ghosts in the town will move toward the two from Zombie Blade. With your Eagle Eye, tracking them should be easy. After you find them, just follow them from afar. Don't rush into action. When we're done here, we'll give you the signal. "
"What's the signal?" Xiao Tan asked.
"The activation of the 'magatama' is the signal," Feng Bujue answered instantly.
The 'Magatama' that he mentioned was undoubtedly the [Bloodcorpse God's Magatama]. Every member of the Underworld Frontline had a Bloodcorpse God's Magatama. When one of them activated the summoning effect, the others' Magatama would enter a cooldown period. One could tell by looking at the status of the items in their inventory.
"Be careful," Feng Bujue said. "After the magatama is activated, in another fifteen minutes, you can make your move." He paused for two seconds before adding, "Oh … Of course, if you're in danger … For example, if the other party discovers your whereabouts and wants to fight you to the death, you can ignore the signal. Your life is the most important thing. It's okay for us to send you out in advance."
"Okay, got it," Xiao Tan nodded. "Then I'll go now. It'll be easier to follow them when they're not too far away."
"Go, go." Xiao Ling walked over and patted his head. "Be careful on the road."
"Hmm." Xiao Tan showed a gentle smile and nodded at his girlfriend.
Their brief and unassuming exchange caused real damage to many of the single people watching the livestream …
…
Five minutes later, at the pagoda in the stone courtyard.
At this time, Feng Bujue had used the stone courtyard's key (consumable) to open the entrance. He stood at the foot of the pagoda with his two teammates.
The pagoda had six floors. The iron pagoda was tall, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The eaves were octagonal, and there were windows facing the door. Other than the small windows on the pagoda, even the door was square. It made the pagoda look angular and strong.
Feng Bujue lifted his head to look at the tall tower and mumbled weakly, "Just by standing here, I can feel a sense of unease …"
Ruo Yu and Xiao Ling understood what he meant. He was actually implying that he had sensed danger in the pagoda through the data perspective.
"It doesn't matter." Ruo Yu said coldly. "You're the one leading the way. If there's a situation, just shout. We'll act according to the situation."
"That's right. We're counting on you, Captain," Xiao Ling said with a teasing smile.
"Hey, hey … you guys still know that I'm the captain?" Feng Bujue could not help but turn around and complain. "You guys decided the next course of action without permission?"
"The pagoda's terrain is narrow. It's not good for Xiao Ling. I didn't drink the meat soup, so my skills are still limited," Ruo Yu said immediately. "You're the only one with all your skills."
Her words made sense, and Brother Jue had nothing to say to that.
"Tsk …" Feng Bujue spread his hands and shook his head. Then, he pushed the wooden door of the pagoda.
The door to the pagoda was very heavy, but there was no latch on the inside, so Brother Jue pushed it open easily.
If the stench of blood in Liuhe Temple was several times stronger than in Lotus Moon Town, then the stench of blood in this pagoda was several times stronger than anywhere else in Liuhe Temple. This smell … was undoubtedly challenging the limits of the human's olfactory system. This was not something that could be overcome with willpower. It was a real physical injury.
Sure enough, ten seconds after the door was opened, Ruo Yu noticed something … Then, she quickly retreated five or six meters.
"It seems that I'll have to wait here for you guys," Ruo Yu said after she stood still.
"Eh? What's wrong? "Xiao Ling was confused. She knew that her cousin was not retreating because of fear, so there had to be a reason behind it.
"The smell inside the pagoda will cause my Life Points to decrease continuously," Ruo Yu answered. "It will decrease by 1% every five seconds …"
"No wonder …" Feng Bujue understood what was going on. "So, this is where the extra buff of Oink's meat soup comes from."
"If I knew this, I would've gone with Xiao Tan." Ruo Yu said, "How about … I give it a try now?"
"I don't think that's necessary." Feng Bujue said, "Just wait here for us." He smiled meaningfully. "Ha … I believe … in at most ten minutes, you'll be able to help us."
"Is that so …" Ruo Yu replied, "Okay then, I'll wait here."
"Okay," Feng Bujue answered and then turned to Xiao Ling. "Let's go." Then, he took out the Compound Anti-gravity Gun, turned on the searchlight, and stepped into the pagoda.
Hearing this, Spirity quickly took out her [Perpetual Torchlight] and quickly followed him.
With Feng Bujue leading the way, the two hurried up the pagoda. First floor, second floor, third floor … they arrived at the fourth floor of the pagoda without any hindrance. Of course, that did not mean that there were no obstacles on the first three floors. It was just that Brother Jue managed to avoid all the triggered traps and negative events.
However, the situation was different on the fourth floor.
Even if someone in the team could observe the data, it was useless because from this point onwards, all the events would be triggered. Unless you did not want to come, you would have to deal with it.
Creak creak — creak creak —
Stepping on the creaking wooden stairs, Feng Bujue ascended to the fourth floor of the pagoda.
The first thing that caught his eye was a figure …
Unlike the three floors below, this floor had no walls, pillars, screens, or furniture. Simply put … it was empty. Other than the stairs at both ends of the floor, the only thing left … was the "person" standing in the middle.
"What is it?" Two seconds later, Xiao Ling also walked up the stairs. She glanced in front of her and asked in a low voice.
"NPC and boss …" Feng Bujue also lowered his voice and turned his head to reply, "It should be possible not to fight … Let me talk to it."
Before he finished speaking, he had already stepped forward and walked toward the figure.
Upon closer inspection, he could see that the "person" had a nose and eyes. The problem was that the number of noses and eyes was not right …
He had an oval-shaped melon head with a hairstyle that looked like a lightning rod. Around his head, there were six eyes and eight ears. On one side of his "face", there were three noses, and two big mouths under each of the noses.
Other than the head, the other parts of the NPC were normal. Overall, he was an adult man wearing a black round-necked robe (similar to a traditional Chinese costume). He was about 1.7 meters tall and was on the thin side.
"Brother …" Feng Bujue walked to stand before him and used a slower speed to say, "I wonder …"
Before he could finish his sentence, the left mouth of the NPC quickly interrupted, "Know what you know."
