Chapter 176: You are an idiot Part2
Tang Yue supported Charlotte on her one side and the two slowly inched away from their location, heading deeper and deeper into the tunnel.
The elf had mostly recovered by now except for a slight feeling of weakness and numbness in her body.
Once Tang Yue’s personal antidote took care of most of the poison seeped into her blood, Charlotte drank a few medicinal potions and recovery potions, speeding up her healing.
She then obediently listened to Tang Yue and decided to accompany her instead of waiting for help all by herself.
The duo was still not sure if heading inside was the right thing to do as they could always encounter more beasts this way.
But it was definitely better than remaining seated in a single spot and becoming a stationary target or a sitting duck for the mysterious black hooded figure.
Besides, they were only coming across a few or so low-grade undead beasts, and moreover, the system notifications were back as well.
So Tang Yue did not hesitate and confidently kept walking ahead grinding the lower level undead beasts.
She slowly and steadily kept collecting experience points and disintegrated soul wisps with every beast she slashed down.
Charlotte couldn’t help but break a sweat just looking at her working so hard. The snake was not even resting in between.
What a maniac! She muttered under her breath.
“What? Speak louder? Was that a thank you, I heard?” Tang Yue smirked, finishing another lizard that had stuck its tongue at her.
“Hmph.” Charlotte crossed her arms and continued leaning on the cave wall for support. Though she was able to walk a bit, she still felt very weak.
The duo wandered into the endless tunnel a bit more, when suddenly a fork appeared in their path.
“Let’s go left.”
“Let’s go right.”
Both the women simultaneously muttered and stared at each other in disagreement.
“I am the one doing all the fighting. So I get to pick. Let’s go right.” Tang Yue grinned.
Charlotte rubbed her temples and replied. “I can sense more beasts in this path, so let’s head the other way.”
“Bingo. That’s exactly why we should go this way. Which one do you think will be more dangerous?”
“The one with more beasts or the one without more beasts?”
“Hmph. You are simply overthinking things.” Charlotte grimaced.
“And you are not thinking at all.” Tang Yue chuckled.
“Arghh. There is just no point in talking sense to you. Just go wherever you want.”
Tang Yue grinned with the satisfaction of winning that war and headed towards the right side. The elf pouted and slowly walked behind her.
However, a few seconds later, one snake and one elf rushed outside through the same opening.
“Damn it. Why is there a high-grade lizard beast here?”
“I told you so.” Charlotte shook her head.
Fortunately, the duo had spotted the humongous beast or at least its tail well in advance.
So they were able to instantly retrace their steps and run back out without provoking the gigantic undead lizard.
Tang Yue recollected how they had faced a similar high-grade spider monster after facing several low-grade undead spiders.
She also remembered how Xavier had skillfully slain it.
“Gulp. There is no way I can do that with my current power level.”
Tang Yue shook her head and decided to venture through the other path, which Charlotte had originally suggested.
The elf now had a small smug smile on her face and Tang Yue amusedly chuckled.
“It looks like you are back to normal.” She muttered.
The two slowly and cautiously walked inside the second tunnel, trying to be as quiet as possible.
Not many undead beasts wandered their way and the couple of lizards that crawled towards them were all low-leveled.
As they headed deeper and deeper into the tunnel, patches of green moss started showing up on the long winding cave wall.
[Wilted Chrysanthemums with a thick death aura. Pick it up.]
[This will be very useful when you eventually start cultivating your dark elemental essence.]
[Or you can also sell it or exchange it for something precious.] The system abruptly chimed in.
“Master, what happened? Why were you silent earlier?” Tang Yue quickly asked, mentally communicating with the system.
She paused slightly and used her sword to scrape the moss off the wall and collected it into a glass bottle.
[A defensive spell blocked and suppressed my soul sliver.] The system explained vaguely.
It looked like even the old man was surprised by the existence of this labyrinth and did not understand things completely.
Tang Yue nodded. She didn’t ask any further questions. She quickly started collecting all the moss that she could see.
Charlotte saw her acting weirdly and raised her eyebrows. She walked towards one such patch of dark black moss and inspected it carefully.
Only then, she was able to detect the strong and heavy dark element aura. What an interesting herb!
She then retrieved a small knife and scraped the patch of moss, collecting it in a glass bottle just like Tang Yue had done.
The snake didn’t care too much. There were several patches of moss here and there, plenty enough for both of them to share.
The two walked around and collected the herbs for a while. They cleaned out every single plant that they could see.
And after they were done, the two women were back to their original path, heading deeper and deeper inside.
But suddenly, Tang Yue felt a slight tap on her shoulders.
She turned around and asked, “What?”
Charlotte was standing behind her, with her hand stretched out front. She was holding in her hand a few glass bottles filled with the moss she had collected earlier.
“Here. Take.” She mumbled, with her face turned away, not meeting Tang Yue’s gaze.
There was even a slight pinkish hue on her pale cheeks.
Tang Yue almost burst out laughing from that sight. What a proud woman! She chuckled inwardly.
She understood what Charlotte was doing and didn’t stand on ceremony.
“Thanks.” She quickly accepted the few glass bottles and put them inside her own spatial ring.
