Chapter 22: 22

Blood Tentacle

This Blood Magic Grandmaster should also be an Alchemist. Otherwise, he would not have left all these here

, Gurney thought to himself after checking his gains and gathering them into his bag while secretly putting them into his system storage at the same time.

And this Blood Magic Grandmaster should not just be an Alchemist. Just from the “noble inheritance”, it shows there is something else beyond this.

Gurney cleared his throat and spoke up, “Everyone…”

At this time, everyone had already kept away their newly gained equipment.

In fact, some black-iron equipment were already being worn now after an initial magic contact.

Black-iron equipment were supernatural equipment and were far better than those black-iron alloy equipment. If used well, they could raise one’s strength by a large degree.

“We’ve already gotten some good gains here, but our adventure is not over.” Gurney pointed towards a tunnel.

Unlike before, where the ground was only paved with twisted rock fissure channels that had naturally formed, this was an artificially excavated tunnel.

Evidently, the owner of this place should have traveled frequently between the two locations.

Under the illumination of Fire Arrow, everyone could see the deep, dark tunnel.

“Let’s go!” Gurney was the first to carefully find his way out.

The rest did not hesitate and followed after him.

Compared to the dangerous tunnel that they went through earlier, this area where the Blood Magic Grandmaster often moved around in had fewer defensive mechanisms. The path was smooth sailing as they moved for over fifty meters.

Then, a large underground hall that resembled a living room appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Even though the era was from long ago, there were still many items left behind from the time of the original owner — stone tables and benches, as well as wall lamps, chandeliers, decorative potted plants, and decaying fresco picture frames. There were also some glassware items that were completely covered in dust.

Gurney’s eyes quickly glanced around the corners.

Using the cheat-like dynamic map and tracking function of his system, he had already found out the location of that “Destiny Gold Coin”, which was termed a “noble creation”.

The Destiny Gold Coin was behind another Supernatural Door, and other than Gurney, nobody could open it.

There were three special encounter contents — Alchemy Storage Room, Blood Magic Totem, and the noble creation, Destiny Gold Coin.

Gurney did not mind sharing the first two contents, but for the final one, Gurney had no intention of letting them in on it.

His gaze continued to look around. Gurney’s gaze was locked onto the Supernatural Door that contained the Blood Magic Totem.

Using the information related to the Blood Magic Totem special encounter, Gurney was already aware that it contained danger. As for what danger it was, Gurney did not know. If it was dangerous for Gurney, then for the others, it was a threat that could be potentially fatal.

After investigating the surrounding area, the group joined up again.

“There are two Supernatural Doors,” Avery stated.

“There are also three tunnels connecting to other places. We do not know if any of those tunnels connect to the outside world.”

“I’m guessing the answer is no.”

“Of course, the most important thing now is those two Supernatural Doors.”

Mentioning the Supernatural Doors made everyone’s expression change slightly. After their first experience with one, everyone had already gotten a taste of the benefits.

These two Supernatural Doors, however, were not as large as the one earlier.

But…

This was likely the living area, so the more important treasures would likely be placed here instead. This place was likely to contain even more important treasures.

Everyone’s gaze shifted to Gurney.

Gurney did not waste time either.

“This place gives me a peculiar and dangerous feeling,” Gurney said in a low tone. “When I open the door, stay alert. There was no danger earlier, but it does not mean that we are safe now.”

“Yeah!” Everyone nodded as their expressions turned serious.

Holding that “climbing tool”, Gurney stood before the Supernatural Door containing “Blood Magic Totem”.

Placing the climbing tool on the door, Gurney chanted as he lowered his head. Mild spell fluctuations began to stir around Gurney again as white milky light flickered in his hands.

After 13 to 14 minutes, Gurney placed the climbing tool back into his bag rapidly.

Seeing this, everyone focused their minds quickly.

“Be careful, I am opening the door,” Gurney said.

“Yes!” Everyone nodded in unison.

As Gurney lighted up a total of 12 Lanemian rune codes…

Rumble rumble.

The sound of friction could be heard as the door moved rapidly.

Gurney also took a step back.

Once a gap appeared in the Supernatural Door, the thick, sticky, and revolting odor of blood gushed out from behind the door.

Swoosh!

A blood-colored tentacle shot out through the gap in the door, moving rapidly. It was so fast that it could not be guarded against, and it was aimed directly at Gurney’s chest.

Thankfully, Gurney was prepared for this; otherwise, he would have suffered a huge loss when facing such a quick attack. While retreating, he unleashed three Fire Arrows.

Compared to releasing different spells at the same time, casting a single type of spell was much faster.

This Fire Arrow was his strongest offensive method against an individual target, and it was also most effective against an enemy with speed that Gurney could barely react to.

Ring Explosion and Arc Lightning could not block the tentacle.

Only Fire Arrow could resist it for a while.

The power of instant casting was displayed in full view at this moment.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Three sharp burning arrows tore through the air, piercing the blood-colored tentacle that had attacked abruptly.

Boom… boom…

At the point of impact, bright red fire started to spread rapidly.

Gurney could see that the Fire Arrows had pierced the blood-colored tentacle. Even so, the tentacle still went past the blockade of three Fire Arrows to land on Gurney’s chest.

Bam!

Gurney was sent flying like a bolt out of a crossbow.

The other three mages had already prepared their spells. Once they saw that Gurney was sent flying by that blood-colored tentacle, their spells were shot out at once. Such spells that were prepared beforehand could naturally be unleashed instantly.

Three spells landed on the tentacle at different times, exploding on impact.

Earlier, Gurney’s three Fire Arrows had already torn apart the blood-colored tentacle.

Right now, with the power of these three spells exploding on it, the injured tentacle shook in the air before exploding into a splatter of blood.

“Ooooouuuu~~”

Seemingly resembling the angry growls of a monster, the wounded tentacle retreated back to the area beyond the Supernatural Door.

Gurney, who had been blown back over ten meters, rolled three to four times before standing up.

Touching his chest, the area that the tentacle had struck was covered in thick and sticky scarlet blood.

The black shirt that he was wearing had been shredded, and the black-iron soft armor that he wore was exposed.

The blood on him was from the blood-colored tentacle, this was not Gurney’s blood.

At this moment, Gurney could not help but feel glad about himself.

Thankfully, I was prepared and used three Fire Arrows to tear apart that blood-colored tentacle. It reduced the impact greatly. At the same time, I am wearing black-iron equipment that blocked most of the impact of that powerful hit. Therefore, I did not suffer any fatal damage.

Cough cough…

Gurney coughed heavily as blood seeped out of his mouth.

But I still got injured.

It seems that from now on, I cannot underestimate the “certain danger” that my system warns of. Otherwise, I might die next time.

As the tentacle retreated, everyone also gathered around Gurney.

Coming to his side and seeing his chest covered in blood, they could not help but show a change of expression. If anything happened to Gurney, they were very likely to be unable to deal with that mysterious blood-colored tentacle.

Avery cast a shocked glance at Gurney’s bloody chest as he frowned and said, “How are you feeling? If it is severe, we will retreat.”
