Chapter 115: The Underground Passage.
Chapter 115: The Underground Passage.
Darkness envelops the unknown depths, not allowing a single speck of light from the moonlight to enter.
Within, the expression of the two silver skeletons couldn't help but become more solemn, feeling that something or someone was tempting them to enter the place...
As if someone was staring at them from the depths with malicious intent, manipulating their desires to enter and explore the place.
Clank... (The feeling of abyss.)
Skeleton #1 instinctively thought. Although it had no idea why that thought suddenly appeared inside its mind, the intense longing silently bloomed within its consciousness.
Staring at the darkness below, the Qi within their bones began to circulate on their own, boiling as their exp began to increase by a small amount every second they stayed in the place.
Clank... (Let's go back, let's report it to the master.)
Skeleton #2 tagged the hand of Skeleton #1, causing the latter to nod its skull in understanding, shaking the lingering desire within it as it silently followed Skeleton #2 in the distance...
Retreating toward the center of the cemetery, the two silver skeletons quickly vanished under the silver moonlight.
Meow~
As soon as they left, the beady eyes of the black crow within the darkness, hiding beyond one of the concrete niches, instantly flashed with rich dark light. Staring toward the silhouettes of the two silver skeletons before again becoming lifeless after a while.
As it stayed near the periphery of the pit of the unknown darkness, some of the energy within the pit slowly entered its puppet being...
Slowly tempering the materials within, as its energy/level also slowly but surely increased by a small amount mysteriously.
***
Knock, knock.
As Leo was staring at the wooden ceiling above... letting his mind to wander from the forgotten past before planning to cultivate after a while... (A normal occurrence for people in the middle of the night.)
A sudden knock from the wooden door interrupted his thoughts, causing him to feel dissatisfied within as he unhurriedly stood up from the sofa...
Walking toward the door as the old wooden floor beneath him echoed with an irritating creaking sound.
"D*mn, It's already in the middle of the night! Who has the audacity to interrupt my rest!?
"Do they have nothing to do!?"
Leo grumbled under his breath as he opened the door hastily, causing the skeleton hand to miss the door frame by inch as its hand hit the face of the heartless necromancer with a crisp sound.
Knock!
Clank... (This.)
Skeleton #1 stared dumbfoundedly at its skeleton hand before slowly raising its skull to look at the gray eyes of the heartless necromancer, causing its heart to skip a bit even though it didn't have them.
Clank~ (It's a~ an accident...)
The voice of Skeleton #1 quivered slightly as it avoided the eyes of Leo instinctively, slowly feeling that the temperature in the surrounding environment began to decrease by amount every second as they stayed still.
"What is it?" Leo asks coldly, staring at Skeleton #1 with squinted eyes, causing the latter to shiver in fright.
Clank, Clank~ (Master, we find something strange in the corner of the cemetery... We don't know what it is but it made us two uncomfortable and tempted.)
Seeing that the atmosphere seemed not right. Skeleton #2 shook its head, blaming Skeleton #1 for its carelessness as it hurriedly reported their strange findings to Leo.
...
"Don't tell me," Leo's expression instantly changed upon hearing the description of Skeleton #1, feeling that the pit was connected to the underground passage beneath them.
Feeling that the cemetery becomes much more high and mysterious in his mind as if it is being shrouded by thick fog... Hiding unimaginable secrets within.
Of course, it's probably just the product of his imagination, but being cautious and a bit adventurous seems fun in his opinion.
Besides that, doing puppetry and potions for countless days nonstop slowly became much more bland in Leo's mind...
It was sad to say, but he was slowly becoming bored!
Still, recalling his findings from days ago... At the same time remembering the feeling of close death and the charred figure of the man, his heart inexplicable beat faster in slight excitement...
Causing his gray eyes to twinkle in anticipation.
...
No, this is bad! My heart is being contaminated by them!
Leo thought as he stared warily at the two silver skeletons in front of him, feeling that their corruption increased considerably compared to the last time he saw them.
Unconsciously moving away from them, Leo coughs slightly before asking them in a serious tone.
"I see, then immediately lead the way, I still need to cultivate and make puppets tomorrow."
Skeleton #1 "Clank, (Then master, please follow us.)"
***
Soon, after walking for almost half an hour, the three finally reached the corner of the pit, causing Leo to raise his brows in surprise as he stared at the darkness below...
Similar to the two silver skeletons beside him, he could also feel that circulating his cultivation technique in this place was much faster than inside the house...
Moreover, the feeling of something or someone summoning/tempting him to go within the unknown depths of the pit also blooms within his mind, making him extremely wary.
This...
Summoning the white flame within his palm, Leo, without hesitation, shot the white flame toward the pit, illuminating the space within as it descended slowly, before finally and completely vanishing within his line of sight after a while.
"There's no sound of the familiar explosion?"
DING!
As he was pondering deep within him, whether to jump down or not... A sudden loud notification rang within his consciousness, almost making him jump toward the pit in pure fright.
System, what the f*ck!
He cursed loudly within his mind as he slightly patted his chest, calming his mind down before checking the notification that appeared.
Ding!

"This, system, do you know this place?"
Reading the notification that appeared, Leo instantly beamed, knowing that they might have hit the jackpot.
