NABC Chapter 136 Work God
Chapter 136 Work God
Wei Sandao started speaking about the mission details.
Li Muyang was somewhat astonished, "An ancient evil spirit from Black Cloud Fort? What is that about?"
However, as soon as he spoke, Wei Sandao's expression turned strange.
"You are the descendant of the ancient evil lineage, a villager of Black Cloud Fort, and you're asking me?" Wei Sandao glared at Li Muyang, "Are you making fun of me?"
Li Muyang scratched his head, looking innocent, "Manager Wei, you misunderstand. I really don't know. Granny Gu never told me anything."
"Besides giving me a bone to make soup, then sending me to deliver you, she didn't say anything else."
Li Muyang's gaze was sincere.
Manager Wei glared at Li Muyang for a good while until he finally believed that Li Muyang indeed knew nothing.
He snorted coldly, "You came here knowing nothing... huh! Your Black Cloud Fort, in Ancient Times, used to live off these evil spirits."
"But after consuming too many evil spirits, they gradually became influenced."
"Many ancestors of your Black Cloud Fort ate so many evil spirits that they themselves turned into evil beings."
"There are some that your Black Cloud Fort specifically captured and kept penned up, all underneath Black Cloud Fort."
"The blood oath we once swore was in front of the ancestral temple at Black Cloud Fort, in the presence of Granny Gu. If I were to leave, those underground evil beings would come out to find me."
After explaining, Wei Sandao stared suspiciously at Li Muyang.
"You really reliable? Knowing nothing, how could you escort me away?"
After Wei Sandao finished speaking, the three of them walked out of the cave.
In the dark forest, the harsh sound of gongs and drums came, and a cold chill wind howled, engulfing Li Muyang and his companions in ghastly pale shadows.
"...Dead again?"
Li Muyang scratched his head speechlessly just after finishing the story, those evil beings had already crawled out.
How exactly should they handle these creatures?
Li Muyang loaded his save again and re-entered the game.
"Manager Wei, how should we deal with those evil beings?"
This time, Li Muyang asked directly.
Wei Sandao paused for a moment, "What are you talking about?"
"The evil beings underground that come to kill us, how should we deal with them?"
Li Muyang was concise and didn't care whether Wei Sandao could understand or not.
Skipping the communication phase, he went straight to the core of the issue.
Wei Sandao looked at Li Muyang silently, although he was confused, he somewhat understood the question Li Muyang was asking.
But he glared and shook his head, "You're the damn villager, asking me? Are you messing with me?"
As he finished speaking, Wei Sandao drew his sword and swung, decapitating Li Muyang in an instant.
...
"This brute, kills his teammate over a disagreement?"
Li Muyang loaded his save silently again, this time not asking Wei Sandao.
He directly led Wei Sandao out of the cave, looking towards the forest ahead.
As soon as Wei Sandao fled, a continuous stream of evil beings surged out from the woodland.
These evil forces seemed to grow stronger and fiercer.
Not to mention, that Work God with a skull-topped blood bar was definitely not someone Li Muyang could provoke.
Li Muyang even doubted that Granny Gu would flee if she saw this Work God.
Moreover, being killed by this Work God didn't trigger a death notification but an[ascension]instead.
It appeared that dying at the hands of different tiers of evil entities didn't result in the same type of death.
Li Muyang loaded his save again, this time running in a different direction.
However, after a certain distance, the chasing evil beings began to disappear, and that sinister Work God sitting in the jujube-red sedan chair once again blocked the way ahead.
Clearly, no matter where Li Muyang ran, he would encounter this Work God.
Just as Li Muyang was preparing to face death, he discovered that the dark cloud overhead blocked the moonlight from falling on them.
He wasn't instantly killed, and the red sedan chair continued to float closer.
Amidst the harsh sound of the gongs and drums, Li Muyang noticed that his tendrils were actually ignored by the evil beings who just stepped right over them.
Previously, when Li Muyang found out that his tendrils couldn't attack these evil beings, he had given up.
But noticing this scene, a sudden idea struck Li Muyang.
He immediately controlled his remaining tendrils to fly towards him, wrapping him inside and out.
The next second, the moonlight fell on Little Wild Grass and Wei Sandao.
The two instantly stiffened, freezing to death in the wilderness.
[Little Wild Grass has died, game over]
"...So, the tendrils aren't for fighting, but for playing hide and seek?"
Li Muyang was a bit astonished.
He loaded his save once again.
This time, he used his tendrils to wrap himself, Little Wild Grass, and Wei Sandao.
Sure enough, once wrapped by the tendrils, the group of evil beings instantly lost their target.
However, after being enveloped by the tendrils, Li Muyang's character interface showed a debuff.
[Whispering State]
This debuff would continuously drain health.
But the three of them could safely pass through the woodland, avoiding all the evil beings they encountered along the way.
Until the first ray of sunlight at dawn fell upon them.
Wei Sandao then stopped.
"Okay, it's dawn now; those evil spirits won't come out."
Wei Sandao immediately sat down, continuously gasping for air: "Damn, that was exhausting! What in the world did you do? Why do I feel like I've been drained?"
Li Muyang glanced at his health bar.
His health bar had hardly changed, although the[Whispering State]debuff continuously drained health, but when the tendrils wrapped around Little Wild Grass and Wei Sandao, they kept drawing from their health bars, reciprocally nourishing Li Muyang.
As a result, Li Muyang himself hadn't suffered much harm, it's just that Little Wild Grass and Wei Sandao both looked pale, as if they had been drained dry.
