Chapter 1881 - 833: Dungeon Siege (Part 2)
Sorry, fend for yourselves!
Footsteps immediately echoed densely.
A few seconds later, Zhong Shuman, who was running, vanished in a flash.
"Zhong Shuman also disappeared!"
The Fish Egg Guy was right next to Zhong Shuman and saw it clearly.
"Faster!"
Lin Baici’s scalp tingled.
The thing he feared the most had finally come.
If everyone was together, even if they encountered a god, Lin Baici wouldn’t panic because he would stand at the forefront. But now, once separated, Hua Yue Yu and Kim Myungjin’s survival rate would significantly decrease.
"Small Fish, Myungjin, hold my hand!"
Lin Baici could only use this clumsy method.
He hoped that when they were teleported, being close together would mean being teleported together.
Hua Yue Yu reached out to Lin Baici, but before Lin Baici could grasp it, she disappeared entirely.
"Damn!"
Lin Baici swore and quickly grabbed Kim Myungjin.
"You go first!"
Gu Qingqiu stopped.
Lin Baici immediately looked over, wanting to stop her.
"Trust me!"
Gu Qingqiu gave Lin Baici a smile.
She knew that Lin Baici was in a difficult position!
He wanted to stay, find clues, and rescue Hua Yue Yu, but staying too long would mean others would be teleported away.
The best solution right now was definitely to get out of this mysterious and strange vine corridor as soon as possible.
"I’ll stay with you!"
Xia Hongyao immediately stopped; Gu Qingqiu had the brains, but her combat ability was too weak.
"Go!"
Gu Qingqiu urged.
The next second, Xia Hongyao disappeared.
Lin Baici, holding Kim Myungjin while running, saw Xia Hongyao vanish and was really unnerved, hesitating about whether to stay, and then everything went black in front of him.
The entire world plunged into pitch-black darkness, as if sinking into the deep sea—oppression, fear, suffocation... all rushing at him, like a coarse rope wrapping around his neck, making it impossible to breathe!
Lin Baici, like a drowning man, instinctively floundered and struggled.
"Calm down, don’t panic!"
Lin Baici warned himself, forcing himself not to move, and then he felt like his body was falling, and something seemed to be wrapped around his neck, holding him up.
Indeed,
the suffocating feeling of not being able to breathe.
"Not an illusion?"
"Am I really being hanged?"
Lin Baici quickly raised his right hand and swiped horizontally above his head.
Something was blocking his arm!
By touch, it should be a rope!
Lin Baici groped and immediately grabbed it, then did a pull-up, pulling upwards.
The feeling of falling immediately diminished.
Sure enough, he was being hanged!
Divine Grace Activation, Power of Hundred Horses!
Power surged through Lin Baici’s body, he exerted his arms, trying to tear the rope-like object in his hand.
Just as Lin Baici was contemplating the next move—if he couldn’t break it, he’d think about getting the Bronze Sword—a ripping sound resonated, the rope broke.
Thud!
Lin Baici landed on his feet, and the next instant, the heavy black fog in front of him vanished like receding tides.
Lin Baici’s senses returned.
He saw a room made of stacked stones, feeling like a dungeon in a medieval castle.
A mildew smell came rushing in!
Lin Baici touched his neck, feeling the rope; he looked up, seeing a broken hemp rope.
"Damn!"
Reacting a bit slower, he’d become a hanging ghost!
Lin Baici muttered, beginning to worry about Hua Yue Yu and the others’ safety again.
Passing Ears Recitation, A Sip of A Hundred Flavors, Lin Baici activated it all!
To gather as much surrounding information as possible.
Woo woo woo!
Someone was struggling; this sound, certainly because their neck was constricted, unable to cry for help.
In the dungeon, without windows, the light was very dim, with visibility only about seven or eight meters. Upon hearing the sound, Lin Baici looked around and rushed towards the wooden door.
Luck was on his side!
These dungeons used not steel plates, but logs as thick as an adult’s waist, and due to their age, bore traces of blood, sweat, and mud.
There was an inch-wide gap between each log.
Lin Baici quickly drew out the Bronze Sword and struck at it.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
With three strikes, the dungeon door was hacked open, and Lin Baici followed through, crashing into it.
Boom!
The door shattered.
Lin Baici listened intently.
It was a pitch-black passageway, with dungeon cells lining both sides.
The sound of sobbing came from next door.
Lin Baici took two quick steps and rushed over, swinging his sword at the door.
Clang! Clang!
After a few strikes, Lin Baici kicked at it with force.
Crack!
The wooden dungeon door shattered.
In fact, this was the point where they should have minimized noise, otherwise, they risked attracting attention if there were enemies in the vicinity. But Lin Baici couldn’t wait. What if the sobbing was from Kim Myungjin?
Lin Baici ducked his head and squeezed into the dungeon.
Then he saw the Goryeo girl.
She was suspended just like Lin Baici was earlier, struggling at this moment.
The Goryeo girl’s feet, wearing red high heels, kept flailing, trying to find the ’shore’.
"Don’t panic, I’m here!"
Lin Baici reassured her.
The Goryeo girl’s eyes were open, but clearly, she couldn’t see or hear anything, still flailing about.
[A new rule-polluted dungeon raid has begun!]
[When you’re suspended, your five senses are deprived!]
Eater God commented.
Lin Baici cut the rope and caught the falling Goryeo girl.
"Ah!"
Kim Myungjin screamed, ready to attack, but seeing it was Lin Baici, she immediately burst into tears of joy, hugging him tightly.
"Sob, sob, I was so scared I’d never see you again!"
Kim Myungjin felt so lucky.
"It’s okay now!"
Lin Baici patted Kim Myungjin’s back, comforting her, while worrying about Hua Yue Yu and Li Yintong.
This rule-polluted start was honestly quite difficult.
When one can’t see, hear, or smell, it’s easy to panic. If they didn’t realize they were suspended in time, the likelihood of self-rescue was low.
Gu Qingqiu and Xia Hongyao would surely be fine.
Kim Myungjin cried a few more times into Lin Baici’s shoulder, then forced herself to calm down and started assessing the situation.
’Kim Myungjin, you can’t be a burden!’
The Goryeo girl kept silently urging herself.
"Oppa, let’s quickly rescue Small Fish!"
Kim Myungjin saw the rope; if not for Lin Baici, she would already be a corpse.
She owed Oppa her life again.
"Let’s go!"
Lin Baici took out the Ghostly Oil Lamp, handing it to Kim Myungjin, while he held the Pine Wood Torch himself.
With these two sources of light, the dim environment of the dungeon was slightly illuminated.
The place was entirely built with stones, the ceiling just over two and a half meters high, which made someone as tall as Lin Baici feel a sense of oppressive pressure here, like his head might be crushed.
The only good thing was that the passage had only one path, with no forks.
Either forward or backward.
"Which way should I go?"
Not wanting to waste time, Lin Baici directly asked Eater God, but received no response.
Then he would have to gather the information himself!
The air smelled of mold, with scents of feces, blood, and straw mixed together.
Hmm,
and also the stench of decomposing corpses.
There was a stench of decay from behind, so Lin Baici chose to move forward.
After walking more than fifty meters, Lin Baici suddenly heard a sobbing sound from one of the dungeons behind.
"Someone!"
Lin Baici immediately ran back.
Luckily, he had the Passing Ears Recitation to enhance his hearing; otherwise, an ordinary person wouldn’t have caught such a small sound.
Lin Baici quickly pinpointed the location, smashed through the dungeon door with a few strikes, rushed in with his torch held high, and then he was disappointed.
It wasn’t Xia Hongyao and the others, but a foreign woman.
A big blonde Big Ocean Horse!
She was quite young, just about twenty years old, struggling intensely as she was suspended, resembling a salmon tossed onto the shore!
The woman was wearing an off-shoulder backless evening dress, with the skirt slit high, so with her kicking wildly like that, Lin Baici could see everything below.
White garter stockings paired with thong underwear, quite daring indeed.
For a stranger, Lin Baici was not gentle at all—he slashed the rope but didn’t catch the Big Ocean Horse, so she plummeted to the ground with a thud.
As the Big Ocean Horse’s vision returned, the first thing she did was pounce towards Kim Myungjin!
