Cursed Immortality

Chapter 34 Opening The Door! (3)

?Deep inside lush woods,

The Mossy Forest Floor suddenly trembled before a square crack appeared, and it lifted in the air before it the air and then thrown to the side, and a three-square meter deep dark hole appeared in the mossy floor.

Thereupon, a Pig Head suddenly popped up from the dark hole, followed by its humanoid burly body, and after him appeared a skinny youth with a face full of ecstasy.

The youth looked around with great curiosity and took deep breaths.

He sighed and said, "I'm finally out, hahaha!"

His voice was filled with thriller and relief. This youth was obviously Jacob.

After his long interrogation process, he could finally find the actual and safe passage outside.

Jacob looked down and felt the soft yet wet mossy floor. A delightful cold sensation was running all over his feet. He looked around and saw the hidden passage was completely surrounded by towering trees, and it was extremely hard to tell there was a hidden cave there.

He mumbled, "That bastard really knows how to choose a hiding spot. No one could tell this part of the ground was a hoax, and underneath it was a whole cave. Even if they find it, they would be quite lucky if they were able to escape those traps."

Jacob really admired Decker's work and his meticulous way of doing things.

He looked up and saw the large crowns of trees had completely covered the sunlight, and only some beams of yellow light were visible.

"The air here is quite chilly, and according to Decker's journal, this place is called Rainy Mountain Ranges, which means I'm in the middle of nowhere, and I don't have a map nor that bastard left any clues about this place.

"If rain is common here, then I can't wander around aimlessly, or I might lose my way. Since I now know how to exit the hidden base, I should first read those two books, and there isn't any hurry as well. As for my hunger problem…"

Jacob's eyes shimmered with coldness and resolved when he thought at this point. He knew he had to get his hand dirty if he wanted to survive and archive immortality.

'I won't have to suppress my demon anymore…' A ferocious glint flashed past Jacob's eyes as he looked at the dark hole.

"Let's go back." He said to Pig Head and entered the hole again.

After they both enter the hidden base again, Jacob carefully closes the passage again and goes back to his room with listless Decker.

After Jacob gained all the information with his words game, Decker knew it was meaningless to struggle, and he was just waiting for his death.

He had completely given up on resistance, but if Jacob asked him about his experience or information, he would still stubbornly refuse because it would make things less difficult for Jacob!

Albeit, he'll die. He would make sure Jacob's journey throughout the Rainy Mountain Ranges cannot be easy because he knew just how dangerous this mountain range was if someone didn't know the safe routes or if they were someone as weak as a human.

Jacob locked Decker in a glass cell again, used the depleted blue nutrition liquid, and left Pig Head to rest in his own cell while using a green nutrition liquid.

After this short trip, he clearly understood just how important Pig Head was to him, and without him, he might've become Decker's suicidal attempt victim.

That's why he decided to use the higher-grade liquid this time, and he knew this liquid was special since it also transformed into a hibernation liquid after its healing effect from exhaustion.

"Now, I should start memorizing the contents of those two books as soon as possible, and I should start with Advance Herbology of Rare and Rarer Plants & Plant Lore since I'm in a forest and plants can be more dangerous than animals if you don't know it's poisonous or not.

"These mountain ranges are between the boundary of uncommon and rare races regions, which means there won't be any rarer type plants here, and even if there are, the chances are extremely low."

Jacob mused before he took the Advance Herbology of Rare and Rarer Plants & Plant Lore, which wasn't six inches thick, and engrossed himself in it.

Before long, Jacob was completely immersed in that book with a fascinated look on his face. Although he wasn't a botanist, he had researched many herbs because of his obsession.

This book was filled with inoffensive and toxic plants. The more Jacob read, the more he felt these plants were really terrified.

"Iron Pike Vine: rare rank.

"Danger Level: High

"Ability: Able to penetrate iron with its pike-like iron vines.

"Weakness: Water

"Smoky Flower: uncommon rank.

"Danger Level: intermediate

"Ability: produce a white smoke-like flora in the air which is highly hallucinating. Its range is one meter.

"Weakness: Water and Fire

"Blue Pine Tree….

Jacob read one after one plant's information, and he was somewhat shocked because his memory was quite good, and he only needed to read the information three or four times before he completely memorized it word by word.

"Is it also the effect of my new heart?" Jacob was quite happy and continued to read.

Just like that, an unknown time passed, and Jacob remained engrossed in his reading.

Jacob also noticed the special traits of his new body.

Foremost, he can awake for a very long time. Although he didn't know the exact duration, he knew it would be around three or four days.

Second, he only needed one hour of sleep to recover his exhausted mental strength.

Third, one jerky lasted for three days before he felt his hunger reaching his bearable limit. However, he could feel the duration was getting lower and lower, and he would soon meet the deadline of the second deadly hunger attack.

So, to ensure it won't happen, he began preparing himself…

Prepared to unleash the… demon!
