Chapter 155-1: Daring Escape Operation, Direct Vision Association President (1)
Before the game text displayed, Lin Xun hadn’t expected that this brass carriage was a defective product.
Since he had never compared it to other carriages, he had no way of knowing that the one he rode was much slower.
[The deafening footsteps behind the carriage grew closer and closer…]
[With each massive step of the behemoth, the carriage’s wheels lifted slightly off the ground, causing the entire vehicle to rock as if it were sailing over stormy waves!]
The situation was extremely urgent. If he didn’t act fast, he would soon see a bright red ‘Game Over.’
Lin Xun’s mind spun rapidly, he had already come up with a plan!
[The carriage door opened. As the carriage raced forward at high speed, roaring wind blasted into the cabin, making it hard to keep your eyes open.]
[You pulled out the Brass Whistle, placed it to your lips, and blew…]
[With a crisp whistle, you summoned the fierce and mighty Corrupted Three-Headed Lion.]
[The Corrupted Three-Headed Lion appeared, only to see its master’s carriage quickly disappearing into the white mist…][Just as it was about to chase after the carriage, it received an unexpected battle command.]
[The deafening footsteps behind it shook the ground. Turning around, it saw a colossal behemoth gradually revealing its claws and fangs through the mist!]
[The carriage vanished into the mist. Roaring loudly, it drew the monster’s attention and then sprinted off wildly in another direction…]
[From inside the carriage, you heard the giant’s footsteps pause briefly, then resume, but the sound gradually weakened.]
[You knew the Corrupted Three-Headed Lion had successfully lured the monster away. You are safe for now!]
Lin Xun held his breath and waited for a moment.
He opened his inventory again and selected the Refined Copper Sand Maraca.
[You cannot summon two creatures at the same time!]
[If you forcefully summon the Battle Angel – Valkyrie, the Corrupted Three-Headed Lion will automatically be unsummoned.]
[Do you wish to proceed with the summoning?]
Without hesitation, he pressed ‘Yes’!
[Corrupted Three-Headed Lion unsummoned!]
[With the soft rustle of sand, you summoned your watcher: Battle Angel – Valkyrie.]
[A stunning long-haired girl stepped into the carriage from the void, wearing a short pale-purple kimono. Massive refined copper wings spread from her back…]
[She held a book in one hand and a quill pen in the other, looking at you in confusion.]
[The monster’s footsteps faded farther and farther into the endless mist…]
Lin Xun let out a long sigh.
After successfully luring the giant away with the Three-Headed Lion, he performed this clever switch to prevent the lion from dying inside the behemoth’s stomach.
Not only had he saved the carriage and his own life, but also preserved the Three-Headed Lion.
[Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Association Grand Scholar was utterly speechless from your series of actions. Hearing that the monster had finally left, he broke into tears of joy, weeping at his narrow escape.]
Having shaken off the behemoth, Lin Xun began to relax.
Now he could deal with the person who had dragged him into this deadly situation!
Based on the previous text, the Grand Scholar before him was actually the Dean of Dis Academy.
He had previously wondered why, after clearing out the entire Multivision Association, he never encountered the academy’s dean.
It turned out this cowardly dean had defected to the Direct Vision Association.
According to the information, the Dean possessed a Oceanic Monster’s eyeball, which granted the terrifying ability of instant death upon being seen.
But in order to avoid the behemoth, the Academy Dean had spent an entire night hiding in the ruins, and never once did he use his instant death upon sight ability to kill the behemoth.
Lin Xun speculated that this ability likely had significant limitations.
Still, that didn’t stop him from coveting it.
At this moment, Lin Xun was still possessing the Grand Scholar Shell, with both of his Stored Spell Treasure Rings charged with the newly acquired epic skill Knowledge Spear.
Although his Knowledge stat was definitely much lower than this Direct Vision Association Grand Scholar, and two casts might not be enough to break through his Knowledge Barrier…
But don’t forget, he still had the Valkyrie by his side!
[The Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Association Grand Scholar suddenly stiffened. As if something came to mind, he glanced nervously between you, a fellow Grand Scholar, and the powerful doll within the carriage.]
[His face filled with panic, he quickly apologized, claiming that his earlier threats were made in desperation while trying to board the carriage and seize a chance at survival.]
[He pleaded for your forgiveness, offering to exchange his life for an incredibly valuable secret!]
[Do you wish to spare him in exchange for the secret?]
“Oh? This guy has a hidden event?”
Lin Xun temporarily suppressed his urge to kill. He would hear the secret first, taking his Shell afterward wouldn’t be too late.
He pressed ‘Yes.’
[The Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Association Grand Scholar saw you agree without hesitation and became even more anxious. He begged you again, insisting that the secret was worth far more than his life.]
[He asked you to swear an oath to the great Omniscient True Knowledge to spare his life once he revealed the secret.]
[You have already joined the Omniscient True Knowledge oath faction. No need to join again.]
[Do you wish to swear the oath to Omniscient True Knowledge?]
Lin Xun smiled slightly.
