Chapter 613: Repulsive disease
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Startled by the ruckus of their tribesman’s murder, the other Ndipaya barbarians bawled in succession. Their yells were incredibly distinct, filled with repetitive and unceasing muffled ‘wo wo wo wo’.
They wielded simple wooden shields and pikes as they pressed towards the invaders. Fortunately, the corridors of these huts were incredibly narrow, preventing them from swarming in for a gang bang.
Dried torches were sared with animal fats at the tip, supplying adequate illumination as well as waves of a repulsive charred stench. Even if they were dropped into the water, they could still be used if they were picked up quickly.
Borrowing the fiery incandescent light of flickering torches, the trio realized the Ndipaya barbarians had a pair of strange red eyes. Their twin canine tooths were slightly protruding, and what was more horrifying, were the solid soybean sized warts contaminating their skin. Those were signs of their sweat glands experiencing a mutated evolution. Those sweat glands could secrete out their bodily fluids and odour, to prevent them from contracting deadly pestilences, as well as repelling a portion of marsh creatures and blood-seeking leeches.
After crossing arms with them, the trio discovered that though the Ndipaya barbarian’s wooden shields appeared simple and crude, their durability was suprely upscaled; probably due to a certain colloid matter being sared on its surfaces.
Even Brother Black’s bullets couldn’t penetrate those shields. Even after unloading a shuttle of chained bullets, he realized that his bullets rely appeared like chrysalis embedded deep into their wooden shields.
Upon closer clashes, Sheyan realized the colloid substances sared were dry and appeared with mildly green and red vestiges. It was as though a certain algae species was ground before bring blended with blood paste, and left to dry in the sun. That should be the reason those wooden shields were so tough and mysterious.
Fortunately, Reef’s ‘Shattering Cardiac Roar’ exhibited its imnse effectiveness here. With a furious roar, even Sheyan felt a feeling of instability stirring within him, while the rooftop straws were bluntly blown away.
Instantaneously, the nearby Ndipaya barbarians stumbled unevenly as the speed decline effect beca impressively distinct. Moreover, the damage dealt was also astonishing.
In this instance, Sheyan could fathom how formidable a Growth-hunter was!
Although Sheyan had battled a Growth-hunter before, he hadn’t personally witnessed an ordinary contestant maturing into one. Hence, he couldn’t make a comparison previously.
Right now, he could feel that every movent made by Reef had truly undergone a qualitative change. Probably also due to Reef’s constant accumulation of strength and improvent, but it also revealed the extravagance of a Growth-hunter promotion; how terrifying was this!
All of a sudden, Sheyan was scraped by a Ndipaya’s pike, causing him to stagger backward. Although this attack didn’t break through his defense, the nightmare imprint still transmitted a warning.
[ You are infected with the disease: Mild Hemorrhage Fever ]

Only by maintaining 38 minutes (Factored in weakening from defense and innate ability ‘Stronghold’) of non-combat state, will your immune system eliminate this disease ]
"Indeed, it’s here." Sheyan imdiately felt a headache.
These Ndipaya barbarians were evidently exceedingly adept at dealing with long-range assaults, where their dull brown decorative wooden shields could effortlessly block away incoming fiery bullets. Nevertheless, their strength wasn’t high and striking away their shields in battle wouldn’t be that tough. Following that, long-range combatants could then seize those opportunities to teach the Ndipaya barbarians a lesson.
Yet the problem lied in this - to engage in close combat with nurous Ndipaya barbarians, it was impossible to not receive damage from them. This alone provided a huge chance of contracting disease!
After slaying 5 Ndipaya barbarians, Sheyan was on the verge of vomiting blood from this repulsiveness. He had once again contracted another disease!
[ You are infected with the disease: Dengue ]

Although the battle capabilities of these Ndipaya barbarians weren’t dynamic, contracting diseases from them during battle would indeed cause one to feel speechless……all attributes plunging, missing 1 strike within 3.
Moreover, these barbarian sluts were incredibly enduring! This was sothing both Sheyan and Reef could sorely feel as they fought shoulder to shoulder. Furthermore, these were rely the most ordinary opponents of their preliminary entry to this world!! They hadn’t even encountered wretched boss tier barbarians!
After an excruciatingly drawn-out battle, when those eight Ndipaya barbarians were finally exterminated, Sheyan and Reef both slumped to the ground.
Then leaned against the wooden railings as they panted heavily. Even Brother Black was flicking his hands and lanting aloud.
"Boss, for the sake of gunning down those barbarians, I practically wasted ammunitions that can annihilate an entire reinforced company!"
But when Mogensha noticed the pandemic effects plaguing Sheyan and Reef, he could only obediently shut his mouth.
After this one battle, without a doubt, these Outer Tribe Ndipaya Barbarians had given the trio an impression of troubleso, mystifying, diabolical and incredibly durable.
Fortunately, after this battle concluded, their bravery had successfully moved the hearts of those recruited native aborigines. They started to worship the trio with devotion and proactively began collecting the battle spoils.
One had to acknowledge that though the risk of this hidden world was imnse, its rewards were relatively aplenty. Of the eight Ndipaya tribesn, four of them dropped keys. After activating the keys, the battle loots were as following:
They acquired a total of 5,300 utility points.
[ Golden Sand: Valuable object ]
[ Description: A simple woven sack filled with golden sand ]
[ Value: You can retain it as a souvenir, or exchange it for 3,000 utility points ]
********************
[ Scarlet Salvia]
[ Type: Herb dicine ]
[ Description: This is a vegetation grown in the wetlands. Growing amidst such vile and nasty conditions, it possesses resistive capabilities towards vile environnts ]
[ Usage: After consuming a ‘Scarlet Salvia’ herb dicine, you can instantly recover 5% HP and expel a single disease on your body ]
[ Details: When this herb dicine withers, its dicinal effects will disappear. It is best consud within 48 hours ]
[ Details: Perhaps you can follow a fixed prescription to concoct a more potent dicine. Of course, that is if you can acquire other herb dicines ]
Even though this was the wetlands, Sheyan still attempted to employ his ‘Pirate Captain’ plundering ability to ransack the corpses of these Ndipaya barbarians.
In the end, he acquired three ‘Evil Moss Shield’, of which he handed over to his native underlings. He also acquired two ‘Declay Pikes’.
At this mont, so of those native underlings sprinted before Sheyan and waved their arms, while concurrently spewing incessant chants of ‘wuliwali’ before falling to the ground in tears.
Sheyan perceived that these natives probably discovered sothing, and followed them towards the largest stilt hut.
Ash grey pots crafted with crude handiwork filled the interior. They were all at least 1.4 tres tall and had openings that could fit a native’s neck. These pots were arranged along both sides of this hut, looking as though they were safeguarding a stone altar in the middle.
Large chunks of bacon were placed on this stone altar. Actually on close inspection, those were actually human limbs. These limbs were strangely bound by black strings. These strings were initially moss green but were dyed black by blood. The natives then said that this was rumoured to be a culinary technique, one that could entrap the enemy’s soul within its corpse; preventing the corpse from easily rotting and enhancing its flavour. Of course, those strings were easy carved out by the natives, and carelessly flung to the ground.
As for so natives, they were currently weeping over the limbs that were used as food; thinking that these were their kin who had been unfortunately captured long ago, and now used as ham.
Instead, Sheyan’s eyes were fixated onto a chest in the middle of this hut.
This was a diocre looking chest, nailed together by wooden slabs.
As it turns out, minute gold fragnts, diamonds and other precious gems were embedded on its surface; making it appear sowhat out of place. One of the native then straightforwardly ran over, carried the chest over, and rocked it. However, he couldn’t open it and could only spread out his arms to express his helplessness.
Sheyan then retrieved it and noticed a large keyhole on this chest. Obviously, it was an extrely simple and crude keyhole.
Brother Black then located a random wooden twig, and toyed with the chest until it finally opened; revealing that the Ndipaya barbarians weren’t advanced in the area of anti-theft.
After opening it, they discovered a large sack of ‘Golden Sand’, which could be sold for 10,000 utility points.
There was another exceptionally queer stone slab inside the chest.
The stone slab’s material quality was roughly between tal and rock, and had an extrely sleek surface; as though it had been smoothed out several tis. It was probably an item that had been safekept for generations, and after picking up the stone slab, the trio simultaneously received a notification.
[ You have acquired a 'Broken Passage Seal (1/4)'. Only by piecing together the whole Passage seal, will one receive the qualifications to enter the Ndipaya Tribe’s Inner Reaches ]
