"Don't worry, my mother is fine. We won't be able to go back for a while!" Nan Jianjun said quickly upon seeing Ling Mo Xie preparing to refine pills. He moved his hands and feet, then said to Ling Mo Xie, "Hey! Your potion really works! Look, I'm already better! Once I recover some spiritual power, I found a place that looks like a Ruins. Shall we go take a look?"
"Aw!" Big White, feeling ignored as Nan Jianjun focused on Ling Mo Xie, let out an unhappy growl and squeezed over to Ling Mo Xie's side, lowly roaring at Nan Jianjun.
"Ah!" Nan Jianjun sat down on the ground, pointing at Big White and exclaimed, "Ling Mo Xie! A Riding the Clouds and Admiring the White Tiger! A Third-Grade Spirit Beast! It seems like we're going to meet our end here; just escaped from the tiger's den and into the wolf's lair!"
"Haha!" Ling Mo Xie laughed heartily after glancing at Big White, pointing at it and saying to Nan Jianjun, "How about that? My Spirit Beast is impressive, right? Much more than your little white one!" He struck a proud pose.
"Your Spirit Beast?" Nan Jianjun asked in surprise. "How is that possible? Did your family raise it from a cub?"
"Pfft! Who needs to raise it from a cub? Big White and I became friends through fighting! Right?" Ling Mo Xie asked Big White.
"Aw!" Big White nodded in grievance, still remembering its miserable past. It was all because it had chosen the wrong target and tried to mess with Ling Mo Xie. Look where that got it!
Seeing Nan Jianjun's increasingly astonished expression, Ling Mo Xie smirked and shoved a Small Blue Bottle into his hand. "Alright! Drink this, and let's go check out that Ruins you mentioned!"
Ling Mo Xie eagerly asked Nan Jianjun about the details of the Ruins. He had been busy leveling up by fighting monsters these past few days and was bored to death; exploring Ruins and going on adventures sounded the most interesting!
Nan Jianjun now trusted Ling Mo Xie greatly. He picked up the Small Blue Bottle and drank it down in one go. To his surprise, his internal spiritual power began to recover slowly on its own. Looking at Ling Mo Xie in amazement, he said, "Mo Xie! I'm starting to find you more and more unfathomable. I thought I was quite knowledgeable, but it turns out I've never seen anything you casually pull out!"
"Hehe!" Ling Mo Xie smiled proudly but thought to himself that if he had seen it before, that would be strange; it was a unique product of the System!
"Alright! Let's go check out that Ruins you mentioned!" Ling Mo Xie changed the subject and gestured for Nan Jianjun to lead the way. Nan Jianjun didn't hesitate either; he had been chased by that black panther and discovered the Ruins while hiding. He hadn't had a chance to explore it properly before being chased here.
The Ruins were not far away, and with Big White by his side, they did not encounter any careless Spirit Beasts along the way. Soon, they arrived at the Ruins mentioned by Nan Jianjun.
From a distance, the Ruins appeared vast, with no trees growing in the area. Only some grass and vines thrived and intertwined over the gray remnants of the Ruins, adding a touch of vibrant greenery to the desolate ruins.
Life and decay coexisted harmoniously. Aside from the vines and grass, there were also large boulders scattered around; these were not ordinary stones but a type of sturdy rock often used for building houses.
This must be the place where Ling Siwen mentioned training Death Warriors. It was unclear why it had been abandoned. Ling Mo Xie surveyed the Ruins, his mind racing with thoughts.
"Follow me!" Nan Jianjun called out to Ling Mo Xie, who was examining a pile of rubble.
"Oh! Okay!" Ling Mo Xie replied and quickly walked over, wondering if the Ruins were more than just the visible piles of stones. Did Nan Jianjun discover something?
Indeed, as he approached Nan Jianjun, he saw that he had cleared away the rubble, revealing a dark entrance in the ground. Dimly illuminated by the morning light filtering through the trees, a few steps leading down could be seen; it appeared to be a passageway going underground!
"I stumbled upon this place by accident and hid here for a while. I didn't expect that black panther to track me down by scent. Before I could explore further, it chased me to where you rescued me!" Nan Jianjun said with a serious expression, clearly bothered by being pursued by a beast.
Ling Mo Xie patted his shoulder. "Let's go! We should check it out!"
"Mm!" Nan Jianjun agreed and led the way down. Ling Mo Xie followed closely behind, while Big White reluctantly squeezed in; crawling through tunnels was beneath its dignity!
The passage sloped downward continuously, with cold walls on either side. The staircase was narrow, just wide enough for one person, and everything around was pitch black—one could not see their hand in front of their face. Ling Mo Xie had to cast a Fireball spell, but each Fireball only lasted half a minute, requiring him to keep casting it repeatedly.
After what felt like an eternity in darkness, another Fireball flickered and extinguished. Just as Ling Mo Xie prepared to cast another one, he heard several swishing sounds from ahead—like swords slicing through the air, mixed with the sound of wings flapping.
Before Ling Mo Xie could ask anything, he noticed that his Health Bar was rapidly decreasing! Startled, he quickly used a Small Red Bottle and shouted, “Nan Jianjun! What’s going on? What happened up ahead?”
The response came in the form of a heavy thud as something fell to the ground. Ling Mo Xie immediately cast a Fireball, and as the orange-red flames illuminated the area, he saw that several Bats were hanging from him, draining his blood. These Bats were radiating spiritual energy; they were all First-Level Spirit Beasts!
Moreover, for some reason, while the Bats were sucking blood, they seemed to paralyze their victims, making it impossible to feel the blood vessels in the skin being punctured and drained! In this dim environment, even though those Bats were merely First-Level Spirit Beasts, their sheer numbers could potentially overwhelm even a Spiritual Void Stage expert!
“Sword Master!” Ling Mo Xie slapped away the Vampire Bats on him and rushed over to turn over the fallen Nan Jianjun. Upon seeing what lay beneath, he let out a gasp and stumbled back, falling onto the stairs!
It turned out that it was not Nan Jianjun at all, but a Skeleton! An Azure Green Snake shot out from the eye socket of the Skeleton, biting Ling Mo Xie on the face before leisurely slithering away.
What shocked Ling Mo Xie was that the System notified him that he had been afflicted with Corpse Poison and a Hatred Curse! He was losing one percent of his health every second! Additionally, he had acquired a Bad Luck Status!
Damn it! Losing health based on a percentage? Was this some kind of joke?
