Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 187 - 162: Next time, I will definitely save you~_1
[Traveler, you have acquired a negative status: Advanced Corruption Poison (Based on your current Physique and Strength, you are now losing 2% of your Life Value every second.)]
[Ding! Your Life Value -2%]
[Ding!...]
In his profound exhaustion, Luo Xi felt himself continuously falling, a sticky and slimy liquid pouring into his mouth and nose, corroding his body.
Luo Xi tried to use his Abyss Flame ability, but his mutation powers were suppressed here by an external force far more powerful.
Advanced Corruption Poison, was it a similar ability to the Intermediate Corruption Curse he had obtained before?
However, back then Rat King Noss might have wanted to torture him first and did not wish to kill him outright, so the power of the skill was reduced.
Gah—
Below, a corroded sound rang out, something bumped against his back, as if trying to push him upwards.
Barely opening his eyes, Luo Xi realized that the corrosive poison sweeping in instantly destroyed and cut off his vision.
What was below?
Was it that man named Zide, or... Spark?
Suddenly, something grabbed his hand and yanked hard.
Luo Xi immediately realized that the thing wanted to steal the staff in his hand.
Try to steal something I obtained?
No way!
[Do you want to store it in your Dreamland Satchel?]
[Yes]
[Ding! Synchronization ends here for this session.]
[Traveler, looking forward to your next visit~]
...
Luo Xi clutched his throat, gasping for air, and sat up from the bed.
He sat motionlessly with a blank stare for more than ten seconds.
The sensation of being slowly dissolved by strong acid caused both his spirit and body to tremble uncontrollably.
[Traveler, you have died.]
[You may choose to Resurrect at the last event point or a safe location.]
[Talent: Moonflow·Zero Point has been triggered.]
[Do you choose to rewind to zero point today?]
Gazing at the message, Luo Xi kept silent for a moment but did not choose to rewind.
After all, time could not be turned back to the day before.
Therefore, it didn’t matter if he used up all his remaining chances to Resurrect.
Resurrection and rewinding, after all, did not conflict, as rewinding could also refresh the number of times he could Resurrect.
[Do you wish to Resurrect?]
[Yes, last event point.]
[Traveler, you have been Resurrected at the last event point.]
The last event point should be where Rat King’s original body was, right?
[Traveler, after your resurrection, you startled Noss, who was not far away, but he quickly came over with delight on his face and killed you again.]
[You died.]
Luo Xi: "..."
Damn, the resurrection was too close, and I was taken out instantly upon revival.
This time, he did not immediately Resurrect but instead took out the Echo of Azure from his satchel to take a look.
At first glance of the staff, Luo Xi felt as if he had become a bird embracing the azure sky, freely soaring through the blue heavens and the brush of the wind.
It was clear at a glance that this was no ordinary equipment.
Too bad he couldn’t use it.
A thought crossed Luo Xi’s mind.
He wondered if his mother-in-law’s Projection, which inhabited the Furnace-Core Hat, could use this impressive-looking staff?
But the Furnace Core was still with Spark.
And Spark had been devoured, probably destroyed by now.
Items not on one’s person at the time of death seemed not to be reclaimed by the satchel, even if one immediately resurrected thereafter.
Then, he had to rewind first...
No, wait a bit longer; he decided to Resurrect once more to see what the Rat King intended to do and to come up with corresponding strategies.
Fifteen minutes later.
Luo Xi chose to Resurrect.
If Noss was still camping and waiting for him, he could prepare to rewind immediately.
Even though there wasn’t much time to prepare for Noss after the rewind.
But he could still create a better situation for the confrontation than now.
[Traveler, you have been Resurrected.]
[Traveler, the square has fallen into an unbearably cold state, the temperature plummeting rapidly, and you saw the Book of Snowice floating outside the Divine Tree.]
[Wei’er, that silly cat, seems to be in a very critical condition.]
Has it started already?
Luo Xi immediately pulled down the Talent: Immersion from his Talents column.
[Do you want to use the Talent: Immersion?]
[Yes]
[Please select the mode you wish to trigger for the Talent.]
[[Happiness]/[Killing Intent]/[Anger]/[Sadness]]
[Ding! Pre-conditions for talent activation have been met, you currently have Happiness Level 369, Killing Intent Value 176, Anger Value 135, and Sadness Value 179.]
[Please select your activation mode.]
Luo Xi’s gaze swept over the accumulated anger and killing intent, landing last on...
Sadness?
[You can activate Talent: Immersion (Sadness).]
[Immersion (Sadness): In this state, there’s a 17.9% chance that your attacks and damages will carry a spiritual attack effect, causing the enemy to remember sorrowful events (Skill, once triggered successfully, ignores tier differences and will take effect), Talent duration does not exceed ten minutes.]
[Do you wish to trigger it?]
Let’s try it.
[Yes]
[Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams~]
...
Ten minutes ago.
"Where is the Echo of Azure?"
"Where is my Lost Yuan Qi?!"
The elderly-faced Noss, grimacing, kicked around the pile of things that had fallen after he had removed the Corruption Snake Cage.
One of the men was barely breathing, his nominal subordinate in the body he had parasitized.
Another had turned into an unrecognizable blackened thing; previously, he had held the Echo of Azure in his hand, a fact which Noss had seen clearly.
But where had it gone?
Such a treasure could not possibly have been destroyed by mere poison.
"Humph, humph."
The girl’s crisp and pleasant mocking laughter echoed near the Divine Tree.
Noss abruptly looked up, turning towards Wei’er, who had been put back into the cage of branches and leaves, and said menacingly, "What are you laughing at?"
Wei’er rested her chin on the edge of the cage with her face in her hand, continuing to mock, "I don’t know what I’m laughing at, but seeing you so frantic makes me want to laugh~"
Luo Xi, that dead pervert, must have taken the item, right?
Well done!
However, judging by that pile of junk, he must be dead by now, right?
Wei’er’s smile faded.
Idiot, even if you can resurrect, don’t come back here.
There’s no one left who can restrain the Rat King now.
The next moment, a flash of light appeared, and Luo Xi’s figure appeared below.
Wei’er: "..."
Noss was instantly overjoyed.
How did this fellow escape the snake cage?
You dared to come back!
He immediately rushed over and instantly killed Luo Xi, then started searching him.
But in the end, apart from a set of tattered clothes, nothing was found.
Wei’er let out a sigh of relief and sneered mockingly again.
Hearing Wei’er’s laughter, Noss’s eyes turned a furious red, as he wildly began to destroy everything in place, trying to find the possibly hidden staff.
In the meantime, guards who returned and saw this scene tried to approach, but Noss killed them on the spot.
"Where did it go... wait!"
Noss turned around and saw an unscathed hat among the pile of discarded junk steel.
His pupils suddenly became sharp like a snake’s.
Only items of at least rare quality could remain intact under the corrosion of the Corruption Poison snake cage.
Wei’er’s expression also stiffened.
How could Luo Xi forget to take that thing with him?
The Rat King keenly noticed the change in the young girl’s expression.
He walked over, bent down to pick up the hat: "This thing, does it also have a close connection with your mother, Liya?"
Wei’er pursed her lips and remained silent.
"No matter, let’s try it and we’ll know."
Noss sneered coldly, picked up the unconscious Hill and threw the child towards the Divine Tree, then outpaced him with even greater speed, catching Hill before he could hit the branches of the Divine Tree.
Next, Noss stuffed Hill into the Divine Tree.
Wei’er’s complexion suddenly changed.
The Winter Divine Tree trembled.
As an indescribably powerful aura swept through, a massive book inscribed with infinite mysteries instantly appeared on the outside of the Divine Tree.
From Wei’er’s angle, it looked like a book carved out of ice and snow.
Hill reappeared outside the Divine Tree, and Noss carelessly tossed the young child onto the ground.
There was an unrestrained joy in Noss’s voice: "It’s finally coming!"
After toiling so long, fortune indeed favors the persistent!
The Book of Snowice slowly descended towards Hill.
Noss reached out to touch the Book of Snowice, but a barrier made of dense runes suddenly appeared, repelling Noss and causing his palm to be covered with fresh blood.
Wei’er: "!"
Noss looked at his split palm, raised his head to Wei’er, his tone filled with anger, "So this is the seal your mother set up before, comparable to a Tier Five rune seal, preventing most of the strength of the Winter Divine Tree from flowing out. The power Hill has is merely equivalent to Tier Four strength; otherwise, Mazar would not dare to control him, however bold he might be."
Wei’er responded with a two-word laugh.
Noss’s smile softened: "Well, now it’s time for little Wei’er to play your part. Uncle has taken care of you sisters for three years; you should repay that, shouldn’t you?"
Wei’er spat out a mouthful of saliva.
Hiss—
The girl’s body suddenly stiffened.
The leaves of the cage unfolded, forming a grand inscription symbol at the bottom.
She was impaled through her limbs by green tubular objects from the cage; her blood continuously flowed into the Book of Snowice through the tubes.
Noss placed the hat he had brought over onto the top of the Book of Snowice, releasing his own strength. The hat seemed to vibrate slightly but was immediately suppressed by Noss.
This was a universal method to break seals.
Using the blood of the direct descendant of the sealer to reverse-engineer the cracking of the seal. The stronger the seal, the more blood needed, and the closer and more mature the blood, the better.
Of course, to increase the success rate, an item connected to the sealer was also needed.
Originally, the Lost Yuan Qi, Echo of Azure, was the best medium for reversing the seal’s cracking.
Now that the staff was lost, using this peculiar hat should suffice, more or less.
After all, once he devoured the power of the True Canon, he would be able to truly enhance his strength.
Once he steps into the realm of a Tier Five sovereign with a mortal body, where in this vast world could he not go?
The Church of Truth?
They’re but stepping stones to him.
Crack—
Noss’s gaze suddenly changed as he looked to the left; there he saw a young man climbing the cage, attempting to crawl into the operating cage.
"How is that guy still alive? Does he have more lives than damn me?!"
...
’Am I dying?’
Wei’er felt her life slipping away and curled up helplessly.
Isn’t that pervert coming back?
Good, his choice wasn’t wrong this time.
However, the girl still felt a bit desolate.
Having lived for so many years, she finally met someone interesting and truly didn’t want to die.
She did want to travel with him after all.
Wei’er closed her eyes.
Hope you take care of Aina.
Suddenly, the girl heard a hoarse voice by her ear, and she incredulously opened her eyes to look.
It was Luo Xi, who had already died twice, attempting to reach his hand into the cage.
Wei’er tearfully realized, "Why did you come back, are you really an idiot..."
The next moment, the young man’s figure in front of the girl turned into countless specks of dust.
However, his hand ultimately landed on the girl’s head.
Wei’er heard him say,
—"Next time, I will definitely save you."
