Chapter 4044 Blood Mist Room
"The Sharp Eye Technique should also be a legacy of the Magic Eye Club, right?"
Shad thought to himself that he currently possessed two abilities related to the eyes: the [Echo of Blood] that had accompanied him throughout his journey, and the [Eye of Edwards] he obtained in the Green Lake region. The former traced bloodstains, while the latter helped Shad distinguish the unnatural modifications made to living organisms.
The magical arts from the Edwards family will likely play a significant role in the upcoming adventure in Arcadia City.
He decided to wait until he got home to learn the magical arts, so he put the paper away for the time being and decided that he would repay the halfling girl if he had the chance later. He felt that he had received the gift for nothing, and the girl did not need to apologize to him so sincerely.
Soon, both the Old Witch and Gina finished their prayers. The former received the blessing of the true god, and for a long time, the effects of the divine spells cast by the Old Witch would be enhanced. Gina, on the other hand, gained another form of the "Bubble Spell":
"Bubble Charm - Eggshell Shield! I can transform the bubbles I blow into a full-body shield shaped like a dragon eggshell. That great being is so kind to me! When I return to the academy, I will tell the children His story!"
The halfling girl who finished praying first also gained a great deal. Although she claimed to be a novice believer, as a high-ranking witch of the halfling race, she still received significant help from her race's god. Now that she no longer needed to hide the abilities her sister didn't want her to display easily, the short girl told everyone everything:
"Besides divine magic and mechanical abilities, I also possess the [Demon Eye Technique], which allows me to temporarily use many of the abilities of the Demon Eyes that my sister had me observe before. Just now, my Lord blessed me and granted me this as well."
A flame ignited at her fingertips, but it wasn't the flame of life; it was pure fire. Madame Gustave saw a church in it, Gina saw the college, and Shad saw number six St. Teresa's Place.
"Divine Art: Warm Fire. This flame has no combat ability, but when we rest, the light I ignite allows everyone to recover better. This seems to be an ability created by a halfling fire-wielding nun who once wielded the [Primal Fire] in the distant past."
The short girl said happily, and Xia De was momentarily stunned, but said nothing.
Mrs. Gustav instructed:
"Then prepare for the battle ahead. Although all my senses are impaired here, I believe my premonition of danger is accurate. There are definitely powerful enemies waiting for us ahead. The cries I can hear are getting louder and louder. On the bright side, perhaps once we defeat the powerful enemy, we can find the third Forge of Life."
The three of them nodded in unison, and Xia De even said:
"My wife and I will walk ahead from here."
The old witch did not refuse:
"Now everyone use the Star Dew that Mr. Hamilton brought for a final restorative treatment, and then let's set off."
The four of them passed through the ancient and solemn room and arrived at the door at the end. Actually, there was another question that they all tacitly avoided mentioning: why were there so many divine symbols in this eerie place?
Once the discussion begins, it will inevitably touch upon the relationship between this so-called "factory" and the deity that cannot be mentioned here, so the four of them tacitly kept quiet about it.
The door was opened, and the pungent, putrid smell made Xia De, who was already starving, feel a sharp pain in his stomach.
A thick mist of blood rushed towards them, and visibility in the room outside the door was less than a meter, making it impossible to discern the room's size or the height of the ceiling. Perhaps the other side of the room would be visible after a few dozen steps, or perhaps the room was simply a vast, blood-red plain.
Although the four of them were only watching from outside the door, their supernatural perception abilities, which were already severely limited in the factory, were clearly further restricted after they came into contact with the thick blood mist emanating from behind the door.
Have you ever encountered a room like this?
"No, we don't know all the rooms here either."
Gina whispered, wrapping her tail around her waist for a sense of security.
"We've been listening to the crying for so long, we can't take any more detours."
Mrs. Gustav said that even a twelfth-tier witch couldn't see through the blood mist here:
"Before entering, although you can use spells to ensure that the four of you are not easily separated, you should also be prepared to be forced to separate."
She gave everyone some instructions:
"Once you realize that you have been separated from your companions, when you encounter them again, you must first verify their identity before approaching them."
As she spoke, she took out several nuts from Gina's small bag and imbued them with a layer of divine golden light:
“If we get separated, I will use this to find you.”
The other three each took a nut, and Shad said:
“I’ve placed a special mark on you so that I can vaguely sense your location. I don’t know how effective it will be in the blood mist, but it’s better than nothing.”
As he spoke, he also placed the moon mark on the backs of the three witches' hands, promising to remove the mark after leaving the room.
Gina distributed the small bubbles to everyone, hiding them in their collars. The halfling girl didn't have a similar ability, so she could only hope that they wouldn't scatter.
The old witch then cast a spell to connect everyone with golden lines, ensuring they could see each other clearly in the fog. Shad then took out thin ropes and had everyone tie them around their waists. This wouldn't restrict movement; everyone here had a way to immediately break free.
After making preparations, everyone stepped through the door together. As a result, all four of them stepped into the bloody water. The terrain of the new room was still completely level, but there was a layer of bloody water on the floor that almost covered their shoes.
"Walking on water is ineffective, and flying is also restricted here."
Even with protective spells applied to prevent blood or other strange substances from seeping into their shoes and trousers, everyone still felt intense discomfort. Once fully immersed in the thick blood mist, even Shad felt a tingling sensation throughout his skin; they absolutely could not stay here for long.
"Wait a minute, I'll try to grow bigger and carry all of you forward at breakneck speed."
Shad said, but then immediately stopped before he could cast the spell:
"No, once the form changes, even I will be affected by the flesh and blood mutation. The blood mist in this room is too thick."
"It's okay, this means they were waiting for us. Everyone be careful, the crying is coming from here, follow me."
The old witch gripped the rope around her waist and said something, and the three of them immediately followed. Gina even picked up Miss Bradvi in one swift motion, and the latter did not resist.
The fog was extremely quiet, even deathly still, but all four of them were certain that something was watching them from within the blood-red fog. Moreover, as they moved forward, Xia De clearly felt that he was getting closer and closer to the source of that gaze within the fog.
He had many experiences of being watched by powerful beings, so he was quite certain that his feeling was correct. He wanted to speak up to warn his companions, but suddenly his ears caught another strange sound from the fog.
Because Shad had also tried to enter a dream to listen to the crying sound last time, he immediately recognized that the sound coming from the fog was exactly the same as the crying sound he heard after entering the dream.
Thinking of this, Xia De felt his heart skip a beat:
"I wasn't dreaming, so how could I hear this sound? Wait, could this be a trap?"
He stopped abruptly, only to hear a series of splattering sounds coming from in front and behind him. Mrs. Gustav, Gina, and Miss Bradvi were all scattered into rotten, bloody chunks that fell into the pool of blood at his feet.
It wasn't them.
"I know, I was replaced without even realizing it. The venue advantage is amazing, I didn't even feel anything at such a close distance."
He pressed his hand to his left chest, feeling his heart pounding rapidly. It wasn't out of fear, but because the crying in the fog was growing louder and louder, and even as Shad remained still, the crying was drawing closer.
"Moon Mark".
Shad could vaguely sense that his three companions were in three different directions, but they were all still alive. He felt somewhat relieved and did not choose to flee. Instead, he stood still and quietly waited while using "Life Regeneration" to perform a final recovery.
A moment later, deep within the thick blood mist, a huge, pitch-black figure became increasingly clear. The figure was at least five meters tall, but it wasn't a five-meter-tall giant; rather, it was something crawling on its hands and feet.
"Tsk~ I have a feeling what I'm about to see is going to be extremely disgusting."
Shad took a deep breath, preparing to transform and confront the behemoth. This was its home turf, and whatever it was, its regenerative abilities were bound to be incredibly strong. He planned to stall it for as long as possible, giving Mrs. Gustav a chance to find her companions.
"If I feel nauseous or uncomfortable in a little while, please laugh in my ear. It will make me feel better."
Shad gave his final instructions and then popped a small portion of the bubble Gina had left for him.
She chuckled softly:
No problem, I'm with you.
The crimson specks of light that floated around him due to [Life Rebirth] were absorbed by Shad. He summoned the [Blood Moon Arc] longbow and transformed the crimson moon into a rapier. As he drew the bow and nocked an arrow, he meditated on the crimson moonlight, hoping to enhance the effect of "Flesh Corrosion." "She" chuckled softly, and Shad himself didn't notice that the red blood moon was now appearing in his eyes.
