Roleplay As Cultivator
32: Finding a reason
ROooaaarrrRR~ Roar~ kikiki~
A few Undead approached Tian Jie with jolted steps - jolted and unstable. Unlike the previous Undead Knight who had green flames enveloping his body, the Undead - the undead in front of him was more akin to zombies.
Not paying much heed to the undead - the undead that was like a mob monster in the game, Tian Jie simply raised his right hand.
“Lightning spark (2)”
Bzzt~ Bzzt~ Bzzt~
A small lightning bolt grabbed the three adjacent undead. Instantly they fell and were crushed.
Not stopping there Tian Jie continued to use his cantrip to attack the undead - the undead he could reach with his attacks. The sound of electricity being struck sounded every few seconds. After five minutes he stopped.
Tian Jie lowered his right hand which seemed to be still electrified. He had already cleared most of the Undead that were approaching him with his spell cantrip. The iron mask that was on his head split into small puzzles and slowly opened showing his face that was still dirty from traces of blood.
Undead - another undead coming out from within the dungeon spread out unguided. Undead - the undead are like ants sprinkling out of their nest.
“What happened to that dungeon ?”
“Because I already got the inheritance from that senior, doesn't it mean that this dungeon has no meaning anymore”
He turned around and walked towards Huang Qingyue. As soon as he arrived in front of Huang Qingyue, Tian Jie ducked down and held onto Huang Qingyue's wrist. He spread out his spiritual energy and found a surprise.
“INI !?”
The rest of the raging fire spiritual energy within Huang Qingyue's body slowly subsided. That fire spiritual energy was like being sucked by something that was within Huang Qingyue's dantian. Something shaped like a round seed is red. The seed gave up its wild fire spiritual energy and condensed into spiritual energy that was compatible with Huan Qingyue's body. Huang Qingyue's body also underwent a significant change where her endurance towards the fire spiritual energy became stronger.
“Meridian in both hands and feet little by little recovers”
“It seems not only I got something”
“Luck is also in your hands Qingyue”
Tian Jie picked up Huang Qingyue. He then carried her on his back.
“I hope it's okay if I move him while this change is still taking place”
Tian Jie brought Huang Qingyue to look for the hiding place where Li Xiaojun lay. Tian Jie climbed up slowly so as not to shake too much - shake Huang Qingyue's body. But, without him noticing, Huang Qingyue's body absorbed the residue of spiritual energy emitted by her Flame scale battle gear. Whether it was bad or not, only her future self would determine.
…
Tian Jie finally reached where Li Xiaojun lay, then placed Huang Qingyue beside him. He went back closer to the edge of the crater wall and observed the bottom.
“This place is quite safe, as long as cover them with tent”
“Undead down there doesn't have enough common sense to get out of this crater”
Tian Jie hurriedly put up a tent to cover the two of them. After it was finished back down into the crater. He approached the dungeon's entrance of course while purifying the undead that approached him.
Tian Jie paused for a moment to look at the large door in front of him.
“Armor I'm wearing this is not something that just left behind”
“There must be a reason why this armor got to my hand”
“And the people who are able to make this armor are definitely not random dwarfs”
He entered the dungeon once more.
Tian Jie looked at the large passageway in front of him filled with undead - undead that moved without direction. He put on the helmet back from his armor and jumped forward.
“Warp step (cantrip 2)”
Tian Jie arrived at the branch where the gold coin warehouse and the warehouse of various kinds of weapons were stored. Undead continued to come out one by one from inside the two rooms.
“As expected, it's all trap”
Passing through the intersection Tian Jie got deeper and deeper into. When he saw the red light in front of him, Tian Jie stopped his footsteps. The walls of the hallway gave off a picture-shaped light. There were images of warrior dwarves, forging dwarves, spearhead dwarves, and others.
“This was not there when we logged in before”
Tian Jie approached the picture of light.
“Detect magic (2)”
Detect magic was the spell cantrip that Tian Jie had obtained from the system when it managed to break through to the spiritual foundation level. This spell made Tian Jie able to detect the reactions of the surrounding magic energy. In contrast to the spiritual senses that every cultivator possessed that could only make its user use his physical senses through the medium of spiritual energy, detect magic allows the user to feel the aura of any kind of thing that has spiritual energy. In addition, detect magic users can know the traces and types of techniques of the spiritual energy aura they detect but cannot detect clearly if the detected technique has a higher level of detect magic. The downside of detect magic was only its detection distance which was less than thirty meters from where the user was.
Tian Jie's eyes slightly let out a blue light. He began to observe the walls of the passageway.
“Hmm, this wall has illusion magic that will be active if touched”
“From the aura I see, it seems to be just a low-grade illusion spell”
“It should be okay - what if I touch”
Tian Jie approached in front of one of the light images. He placed his right hand against the wall and as per his prediction the illusion spell began to work.
[Warnings, detecting spiritual energy that will disturb the host's mind ]
[ Barrier procedures are carried out ]
“eh .. ?”
“System has this kind of feature ?”
“Can I turn it off first ?”
[Defended barrier procedure at the whim of Host ]
“Fyuh, now let's see what this illusion spell” shows
Tian Jie's gaze began to change. The entire hall was suddenly filled with flames making him reflexively raise his hand to cover his face. But he did not feel the incoming heat and slowly lowered his hand.
Tian Jie turned his head three hundred and sixty degrees observing the surroundings. The huge flame slowly subsided and showed the surrounding scenery. He was currently on top of a burnt-out hill. He saw a dark night sky without stars. On his right and left was full of corpses and weapons in large numbers.
‘What kind of sight is this ?’
‘Is this a war ?’
He who had never seen a corpse this much was even within Tian Jie's previous memories. Tian Jie was uncomfortable with this sight of the river of blood and fire.
‘War anywhere will definitely not be nice to see’
Tian Jie did not see any sign of the living around him. He was like looking at one version of hell with his own eyes. While Tian Jie was still trying to hold back his bad taste, the light from behind him made him reflectively twist his body.
He saw all sorts of attacks darting towards the dark sky. All those attacks hit something dark in the sky. Tian Jie narrowed his eyes trying to get a clearer look. There was a huge silhouette flapping its wings in the dark of the night sky.
Arriving from the silhouette came a bright green light that illuminated the entire hill. The light showed the true form of the dark winged silhouette.
A dragon, and not an ordinary dragon. A huge Dragon with black scales color that was enveloped with a green aura.
The Elder Black Dragon.
