Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 474 - 336: Triggered Again, The Tomb
"Why isnโt it attacking me?" ๐ง๐โฏโฏ๐คโฏ๐ฃ๐โด๐๐๐.๐๐ฐ๐
At that moment, Wang Zhifan felt puzzled. He stopped and slightly turned his head to look at the spot he had just passed. He found that the malice still lingered in the shadows of the candle holder on the passage wall, but the presence remained hidden and did not intend to attack, behaving rather strangely.
"Have you sensed my danger... Iโll let you off then... After all, I didnโt come here to do cleanup work."
Wang Zhifan forced an explanation, then turned around and continued forward down the passage, heading towards the grotesque monster crawling on the ground ahead.
This creature, resembling a fanged crocodile, was quite different from the monsters Wang Zhifan usually encountered. It seemed quite patient, having seen Wang Zhifan long ago but did not recklessly charge forward. Instead, it moved slowly along the passage ground, pressing closer like a mature and stable warrior, exuding a calm demeanor unlike ordinary small fry.
"Unexpectedly, the people in this dungeon are not much, but the monsters are quite interesting one after another."
Seeing this situation, Wang Zhifan felt somewhat amused for a moment. He decided to show respect to this "calm" small fry monster. Instead of ending it hastily with a long-range blade strike, he chose to give it the chance for close combat with him, even though the outcome of such a battle was destined.
Thus, in the passage of this dimly lit underground level, Wang Zhifan suddenly became "solemn." He gripped the Wolf-Slaying Blade with both hands, the tip pointing straight ahead, pacing slowly towards the crawling monster, as if the two were warriors engaging in a solemn duel.
The monster seemed to understand his combat intent. It lifted its long, pointed head slightly, its orange-brown eyes fixed on him, and its tooth-filled sharp mouth opened slightly, emitting a low threatening growl. At the same time, its few thick short legs stepped forward one by one.
About ten seconds later, the man and the monster finally "clashed" in the passage. Wang Zhifanโs blade was already close to the monsterโs eyes, and the growl from the monsterโs mouth grew louder. But strangely, neither Wang Zhifan nor the monster initiated an attack first, both remained in a stand-off at such a close distance.
"Damn it, come at me! Or turn around and run! Whatโs with standing there dumbfounded! Are you really going to waste the opportunity Iโm giving you?"
At this point, someoneโs mindset became quite speechless. He felt he could no longer understand the behavior of these dungeon monsters, finding them unlike normal monsters, lacking the most basic aggressiveness.
Yet this perplexing confusion suddenly triggered a somewhat distant memory within him, instantly making him realize something.
"Could it be the โConniving Alliesโ effect was triggered?!"
Finding this explanation quite plausible, he immediately raised a hand to remove a necklace named the Dark Chapter Necklace from his neck. Almost as soon as the necklace left his neck, the fang-crocodile monster in front of him leaped up abruptly, and he sensed a chilling murderous intent from behind!
"So thatโs it!"
Wang Zhifan was not concerned at all about his sudden entrapment from both front and rear. He immediately activated the Ice Source Power, instantly annihilating both the crocodile monster in front and the Spirit Body monster behind into icy shards and spirit fragments. He then promptly put the Dark Chapter Necklace back on his neck.
"I didnโt expect to encounter monsters again that could trigger the special effect of the Dark Chapter after so many dungeons... It really brings back memories..."
Having found the cause of the abnormal situation, a few traces of nostalgia appeared on Wang Zhifanโs face. The reason being, the last time he triggered the Conniving Allies was a long time ago, when he only had the Dark Chapter Necklace around his neck, which has now become one of three necklaces, and one of the least conspicuous ones.
"It seems I no longer need such a special effect that prevents small monsters from attacking... Ordinary bosses are trivial for me, and small monsters can be easily eliminated... But itโs quite nice to leisurely stroll through a dungeon."
Thinking it over, Wang Zhifan judged that triggering the Conniving Allies wasnโt a bad thing. It allowed him to conserve energy from dealing with trivial matters and focus more on crucial things.
However, this didnโt mean he would ignore the ordinary monsters he encountered later. Apart from some bosses adept at aura disguise, there might also be small monsters in this dungeon that wouldnโt trigger the Conniving Allies. After all, the effectโs trigger judgment was quite confusing, only affecting certain types of monsters.
Thus, time continued to flow as Wang Zhifan continued his exploration in the dungeon. But because the majority of monsters regarded him as one of their own and didnโt attack him, his time in the dungeon turned exceptionally leisurely, almost no different from a tour.
All along the way, he witnessed various monsters battling adventurers, competing adventurer groups, and even adventurers from the same group engaging in internal strife upon discovering treasure, making for quite a spectacular sight.
Now, he had reached the third level of the dungeon without a hitch. The situation here was different from the two levels above, with a vast underground wilderness or you could call it a super-large underground cave, replacing the intricate candle-lit passages.
