Chapter 984: Blank

Entrance to the second level of the ancient cave.

Luo Tian wasn’t in a rush to go down and was resting there.

The three of them were supposed to be resting, but Luo Tian was busy doing something. n))o--v.)e//l-(b-/I).n

Bai Xiong and Bai Lingling were recovering their yuan energy while Luo Tian was alone in a corner, tinkering with something. From time to time, there would be clanking sounds and sparks flying out. Sometimes, he would exclaim excitedly, and sometimes, he would sigh and curse. This made Bai Lingling utterly confused.

They both wanted to know what Luo Tian was doing, but they didn’t go over to interrupt him.

After all, he was an expert!

He was the main support pillar. If they suddenly made him unhappy and he decided he wasn’t going to go down to the second level with them, then they would be screwed.

“Ding!”

“Grade 1 Poison has been successfully refined.”

“Heh heh, another success.” Luo Tian rejoiced internally before saying to himself, “How can I not have any poison if I’m training in the Poisoning Skill? I don’t want to train in it for nothing.”

Luo Tian had been refining poison for a while now.

The Poisoning Skill needed the user to have poisons in their possession, or else they are unable to use the skill.

This was very similar to the Taoists from the Legend of Mir. If one didn’t have those green or red bottles of poison, they couldn’t use the Poisoning Skill. The poisons were very easy to refine; one just needed to find herbs that contained poison or demonic beasts with poison as materials.

The process of refining poison was similar to concocting pills.

However, the success rate of refining poison wasn’t that high.

This made Luo Tian quite annoyed.

He had collected quite a lot of spiritual herbs after staying in the Martial Mountain Range for a month. He didn’t have time to take care of them after going back to Martial Mountain City, so before leaving again, he asked Dongfang Shuo and his Gambling Pavilion for an alchemy cauldron. His thoughts were that he would have time to train in his Alchemy skill while searching for the Lunar Divine Grass. Now, he had no time to train in Alchemy skills but had made quite a bit of improvement with his Poisoning skill.

A grade 1 poison.

The toxin of this poison wasn’t very strong, but it was more than enough for Luo Tian’s use right now.

Also, Luo Tian wasn’t able to refine a grade 2 poison with his current cultivation realm.

A few hours later.

Bai Lingling could no longer hold back the doubts in her heart and walked over, asking, “What exactly are you doing? You don’t look like you’re concocting pills because no one would refine herbs the way you do.”

“Ommm~, ommm~...”

A series of humming sounds rang out like thousands of bees taking flight at the same time.

Luo Tian frowned as he surveyed the terrain. The whole area was flat and open, without any blind corners to hide behind. There definitely weren’t any corridors for them where it was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The terrain was really poor!

Luo Tian didn’t hesitate to shout, “Retreat!”

Bai Lingling was briefly stunned, “We haven’t even started fighting yet, and we have to retreat?”

Bai Xiong was also surprised as he looked at Luo Tian for half a second. He then said, “Since brother expert is telling us to retreat, then we should retreat. It shouldn’t be wrong for us to listen to him.”

After talking, the three quickly went back to the first level.

Luo Tian didn’t explain his reason to them.

This was his many years of gaming experience. Most likely, they had accidentally awakened all the zombies on the second floor. In gaming terms, they had pulled aggro on all the monsters at the same time. That buzzing sound was undoubtedly all the sounds made by Flying Zombies flying in the darkness. If they don’t leave, all the flying zombies on the second floor will appear in front of them. The only outcome for them would be death.

But once they retreated from the second floor, the aggro they pulled would automatically disappear when the monsters lost their target. They would then stop and settle back down.

A few minutes later, Luo Tian was standing at the entrance to the second floor and said, “You two wait here for now. I’m going down to take a look first. Without my order, you guys cannot come down.”

After that, Luo Tian walked down.

Bai Lingling looked at Bai Xiong.

Bai Xiong looked back at her.

The brother and sister duo had no clue what Luo Tian was trying to do. It was as if Luo Tian had been here before and knew everything about this place.

“Could he have come here before?”

“I really can’t tell what he’s thinking.”

“An expert is truly an expert; he is someone we cannot see through.” Bai Xiong’s admiration for Luo Tian increased once more. He then said, “If you can tell what he’s thinking, then he isn’t an expert. Little sister, I have a feeling we have a high chance of finding a Dark Yin Crystal.”

Bai Lingling’s eyes brightened, but she didn’t feel the chance was that high. She smiled bitterly, “I hope so.”

Her uncertainty stemmed from their cultivation realms.

They were all Four Elements rankers, which wasn’t that high in this world.

If it weren’t for Luo Tian in the first level using the mysterious bracelet, they would have already died there. Now, they hadn’t even started exploring the second level yet and were already forced to retreat. And where was that deep voice coming from?

Those two had no idea.

However, one that can speak the human language so fluently was definitely not an ordinary zombie. It was highly likely that it was a Zombie King!
