Capítulo 783: Chapter 762: Unusual Green
The torch provided limited visibility, only allowing sight of the monotonous rocky ground along the way, occasionally spotting a few stones, beyond which nothing more could be seen.
“Hey, Morton! Can you share your vision with us?”
“Morton? What kind of na is that… Wait, could this be my na? Did you receive so personal information about ?”
“Yes.”
“It seems I’ve truly been assigned to you as your reward! Although it’s quite displeasing, at least it’s a bit better than before.
Obtaining the vision of this Eye cos at a price, but since you’re helping to leave here, just beg and it might be fine. Perhaps I’ll generously grant this gift, depending on my mood.”
“No, thank you…” Luo Di’s tone shifted as well, “Morton, in ordinary situations like this, you can refuse my request.
But if we encounter a real crisis, a situation where I truly need vision assistance, you must respond imdiately.
Otherwise, I may abandon you outright in na.
This is no joke; things here are far from over. We might encounter more dangerous situations and ancient beings.”
“You… never mind! Quickly, shut that ugly right eye of yours.”
“Alright.”
Closing the eyelids also signified the descent of darkness.
An odd sensation arrived,
when Luo Di opened his eyes again, the dual-pupil structure reappeared, and the infant nestled within the embrace closed its eyes.
What was previously invisible, beyond the range of illumination, now beca clear, and Luo Di surveyed the surroundings, for the first ti able to clearly observe this Transition Layer.
“This place is so vast!?”
The voice from the black eye ca directly from the right eye saying, “The Transition Layer itself is huge; it’s the middle area connecting and supporting the Dungeon. My mories are vague, I only roughly rember that it can lead to six different Underground areas.
The pitch-black mine I’m in is just one of them, and it’s not even the most dangerous.
Rember that zombie elder, who was marked by along the way when he first ca here? Sohow he chose the most dangerous area.
I don’t clearly rember the details, only vaguely recalling that underneath there was a glow of Green Light.”
“Green Light… this cave entrance?”
Luo Di was currently using the pitch-black vision, intending to morize the cave’s general structure in his mind, since he might return in the future.
As he was observing around, suddenly a hint of Green Light entered his periphery.
This unnatural green quickly captivated Luo Di’s attention.
Following this, an opening embedded in the rock wall, emanating a faint green glow, ca into view.
The Green Light was not constant but flickered rhythmically like a heartbeat.
But Luo Di found it odd,
When he first acquired the pitch-black vision, he had quickly scanned his surroundings. At that ti, he hadn’t noticed any green, nor any cave structure.
When he carefully checked again and attempted to rember the structure of the cave, the green suddenly appeared.
It was as if,
he hadn’t found this greenness, but the green-emitting cave opening had found him instead.
Luo Di recalled sothing, rembered when he first arrived at the Transition Layer.
‘Wait a minute, when I arrived here on the elevator, the black eye had distributed many eyeballs to scan the environnt, seemingly wary of sothing.
He didn’t share his vision like before, maybe considering this point.
Once you try to observe the Transition Layer, or see too much of the environnt here, would the Green Light Cave actively seek you out?’
Thinking of this, Luo Di quickly shifted his gaze away.
Unexpectedly, the green hue persisted at the edge of his vision, as if several tiny green arms grasped at the edges of his eye sockets, forcefully turning his vision back.
Luo Di wanted to ask Morton what exactly the situation was, but found he couldn’t open his mouth, nor could he communicate on a conscious level.
He seed to be “isolated,”
isolated within this Green Light.
Soon enough,
his vision was moved back to its previous position, once more staring at that green glowing cave entrance.
And this ti,
a figure walked out of the cave,
an indistinct figure surrounded by green light.
The figure approached step by step and closer inspection revealed this person seed to be walking backward.
As they drew nearer,
the figure occupied more of the visual field.
Until an entire back of the head blocked Luo Di’s path, a head covered in green veins, with wrinkled, decayed, partially necrotic skin studded with pustules.
Slowly,
the head began to rotate,
a deeply-concaved, Green Light-emitting face was about to turn over.
Luo Di drew upon the Fear Resistance he gained this journey to the Dungeon and mustered his current full strength to forcibly awaken his own Consciousness.
At the sa ti,
his tongue snapped against his mouth unexpectedly, despite his tongue being quite displeased with this journey to the Dungeon, it still alerted to such danger.
However, the act of “turning his head” continued nevertheless, but Luo Di regained partial control over his body.
Instead of cutting towards himself, he slapped in the direction of the baby.
Slap!
Sure enough, it worked,
darkness instantly filled his vision, a darkness filled with rage squeezed out the incoming green before it could fully turn.
The blackness reclaid his vision,
Luo Di opened his eyes again, as if everything had returned to normal.
He kept on walking, maintaining the sa Speed as before with no Anomaly. But imdiately following was fierce cursing, and the pitch-black vision was withdrawn.
“What the hell!!! What’s the aning of suddenly slapping ? Do you seriously consider this Eye your reward item? Since you disrespect so much, then we have nothing left to cooperate on.”
“Thank you.”
“Thank you for what… You haven’t gone crazy, have you?”
“Was there nothing wrong with just now?”
“You certainly had sothing wrong, suddenly slapping like a madman… Wait! You didn’t just see sothing you shouldn’t have.” The black eye realized sothing, but he couldn’t recall it; he vaguely rembered it was indeed ill-advised to look around casually in the Transition Layer.
“I was just found by a tunnel emitting Green Light.”
Upon hearing about the Green Light Cave, sweat surprisingly oozed from the surface of the eyeball, akin to tears.
“Yes! Yes! You can’t randomly look around on this layer, especially as an outsider like you… That old guy got found and entered the living cave because he was trying to seek the safest route.
You should follow obediently and stop looking around.
Even my own vision needs to be sowhat restrained here, there’s a small chance I could still get entangled.”
“What’s inside the Green Light Cave?”
The black eye quickly raised his finger. “Don’t ask, and don’t raise the matter… The more you know, the more you dwell on it, the greater the chance of being found by the Green Light.
Our goal is to find the item and leave here. If you want to co to the Dungeon again next ti, then go digging deeper. I surely don’t want to die with you here.”
“Okay.”
Walking through the Transition Layer took over an hour.
Wherever the firelight reached,
all was rocky cave until finally a different structure appeared before them.
A door shaped like a human thorax embedded itself in the adjacent rock wall, ti having eroded the bones and completely dried the flesh.
The center of the chest had a groove specially fitted for the Egg of Evil (Berial), matching perfectly with the pendant hung on Luo Di’s chest.
The piglet in the embrace also grew excited, “This is it! Hopefully what we’re looking for is inside once you open this door, after acquiring it, we can directly leave… I can’t wait to get out, to see what’s special about your lower world.”
Luo Di retrieved the Egg of Evil from the piglet’s neck and used it as a key, placing it lightly into the center of this unusual door.
A perfect fit.
As the egg was inserted, the dislocated facial features on its surface began to move.
As the features slowly returned to place,
suddenly… Aaaahhhhh!!!!
The Egg of Evil emitted a high-pitched shrill scream.
As the scream ceased,
the egg detached and Luo Di quickly caught it before it hit the ground.
The door before him, or rather, the thorax, slowly began to open as well, revealing a pathway reeking with the ancient stench of decay.
Yet Luo Di wore a concerning expression; the loud scream just now could very well attract sothing…
