Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1675 - 750: Blocked Path (2)
Previously on Online: I Can See Health Bars...
Fang Yu carefully felt and sensed, he could feel the eerie green fog, which was Evil Qi, but amidst the Evil Qi, there was something else, in short, it was not pure.
Whirr whirr whirr—
The jade necklace on his chest, like a vacuum cleaner, absorbed all the eerie green fog surrounding him completely, the suction efficiency was simply maximized.
Fang Yu’s eyes lit up immediately.
This talisman of malevolence dispelling effect is not just stronger than the Dragon Soul Seal, but much stronger!
For a moment, Fang Yu considered using the Dragon Soul Seal first, to fully exhaust it, and then use the jade necklace to preserve its maximum effectiveness.
However, considering the perilous nature of this place and the dangers he might face ahead, he suppressed this impulse.
The group followed Daoist Qing Yan and soon entered the cave.
The eerie green fog, which had already thinned at the entrance, quickly emerged from the ground upon their departure, gathering into a thick fog, soon returning to its dense state before they arrived.
...
Fang Yu initially thought the Melted Heart Cave would be very dark, but unexpectedly, it was very bright. Around were fiery red walls, like lava, illuminating the conditions inside clearly.
Beneath the fiery red lava walls was the completely fog-like eerie green fog.
The eerie green fog was densely packed throughout the space, and even though each of them carried a talisman of malevolence dispelling, it only thinned the eerie green fog slightly as they walked through.
"Cough cough!"
Guan Anxuan coughed twice, her complexion seemed odd.
Fang Yu looked at her face, noticing that despite no enemies showing up, her face displayed certain demonized features, the skin having multicolored hues.
Daoist Qing Yan seemed to notice the situation too, he furrowed his brow slightly and slowed his pace.
With this slowdown, the absorption efficiency of the jade necklace increased significantly.
Since the group was already close, coupled with the terrifying absorption rate of the jade necklace, it quickly thinned the eerie green Evil Qi in their surroundings considerably, contrasting sharply with the dense Evil Qi farther away.
On one side, it was thin and surrounded like smoke.
On the other side, it was dense enough to become solid, like a sticky cloud that couldn’t be dispersed.
In such a situation, if anyone walked too quickly, they would rush into the eerie green Evil Qi before the jade necklace had fully purified and absorbed the Evil Qi, suffering directly from its torment.
However, Fang Yu was curious about the effect of this eerie green Evil Qi; from Guan Anxuan’s reaction, it seemed only to cause discomfort in facial complexion, adding some demonized features.
Fang Yu was equipped with three major talismans of malevolence dispelling: the jade necklace absorbed the first wave, the Dragon Soul Seal purified and weakened the second wave around him, and the Soul Clothes served as the final defense.
After three waves of filtering, Fang Yu was the one in the team facing the least amount of Evil Qi directly.
Dongfang Aotian clearly noticed the unusually clean area around Fang Yu, his gaze lingered on Fang Yu but he said nothing.
These talismans of malevolence dispelling items, aside from being highly valued when exploring such perilous places, are usually stored as strategic reserves in most factions, left to gather dust in warehouses.
Simply put, you can live without using them, but you cannot do without them. As for when you might truly need them, the opportunities are scarce.
Because the Lands of Gathering Evil are extremely dangerous, those without strength have no right to enter.
Even those with strength might perish here.
Every expedition is a desperate gamble.
No matter how many talismans of malevolence dispelling are stored, without high-level combat power to use them, they’re just scrap metal piled up in a warehouse.
Fang Yu initially thought the Melted Heart Cave was full of danger.
But it turned out not to be so.
Once they slowed their pace, they smoothly passed the first open area, with two different extending paths before them.
No need for lighting, no need for guidance, the two paths seemed indistinguishable, all fiery red, with lava-like high-temperature walls present.
Yes, high temperatures.
From here, the temperature noticeably increased, and the eerie green Evil Qi seemed to blow like a hot breeze, stifling everyone, causing some sweat to appear on their faces.
Left or right?
The group looked at Daoist Qing Yan leading the way, but discovered Daoist Qing Yan seemed very hesitant.
Did he not have a complete intel route here?
Fang Yu pondered secretly, but Daoist Qing Yan decisively made a choice.
The left path.
The group filed in behind.
Fang Yu quickly noticed that as they walked along the left path, it started showing a certain slope, soon becoming almost a 45° incline.
If the people present weren’t all experts, this slope would cause some trouble walking; one careless step and it might result in slipping directly down.
"What’s that?"
Fatty Jia suddenly asked while pointing ahead.
Fang Yu looked up, seeing the tunnel wall had protruding milky white hemispheres, resembling some spider-like cocoons.
Rising and falling, brightening and dimming, giving a bad feeling.
Fang Yu didn’t see any health bar on those things, but it was evident that something was inside just waiting to be unleashed.
"Don’t disturb it."
Daoist Qing Yan whispered, leading the way around those things.
Naturally, the group agreed and mimicked his approach.
But the next moment, everyone froze.
On the tunnel walls behind, cocoons were attached above, on the left, and on the right.
These cocoons varied in size, flickering, rising and falling like breathing, densely attached like worms throughout the tunnel’s positions.
Where did these come from?
Are these wormholes?
The group looked again at Daoist Qing Yan, but he shook his head slightly.
Though they were inside the Melted Heart Cave, Daoist Qing Yan’s focus was still primarily on preserving the team’s combat power.
"Cough cough cough!"
Suddenly someone coughed intensely beside them, changing everyone’s facial expressions.
Fortunately, those cocoons didn’t seem sensitive to sound and didn’t react.
Fang Yu turned back, thinking Guan Anxuan couldn’t handle it again, but...
The Eight Diagrams Demon Feng Yahu was covering her mouth, awkwardly meeting his gaze.
But most importantly, on Feng Yahu’s face, there was a blood mark across from left to right, as if slashed by a sharp blade.
Her human skin seemed about...
To tear.
Daoist Qing Yan suddenly appeared in front of Feng Yahu, grabbed her hand and led her forward.
Fang Yu felt a wave of Spirit energy from Daoist Qing Yan, seemingly suppressing Feng Yahu’s condition.
They had barely entered the Melted Heart Cave when the team started experiencing frequent issues. Fang Yu suddenly had a less optimistic view of this rescue mission.
However, with Daoist Qing Yan leading, the situation was still barely under control, leaving little room to worry about the team’s slight internal unease.
Whether sticking close to the left wall or jumping to a certain height, everyone cautiously avoided those cocoons.
Soon, Fang Yu realized...
These cocoons absorb surrounding eerie green Evil Qi, and... emit even denser eerie green Evil Qi.
Like completing a process, or undergoing an absorption.
Fang Yu couldn’t pinpoint what these things were; if Ding Hui were here, she would certainly be very interested in them. But Fang Yu didn’t even want to capture one for Ding Hui to research, as he needed to ensure his safety first before considering other things.
Thus, they journeyed forward, descending several meters underground amidst the jade necklace’s absorption and the eerie green Evil Qi’s confrontation, when Daoist Qing Yan suddenly stopped!
The group hurriedly followed suit and stopped, looking ahead, only to find...
Their path was blocked.
Blocked by a giant white cocoon, like an egg-sized white cocoon, resembling a wall, obstructing the entire tunnel space.
