Chapter 81 Separation
[Clear the Goblin's Secret Realm of Mutation, quest reward: [Beast Staff - Bear]]
Mutation?
The latest mission reward was a better staff, which naturally made Lin Tian very happy, but what caught his attention even more was the word "mutation" in the mission description.
Was it already there, or did something unexpected happen?
Lin Tian had no idea, and while he was pondering, the older superhuman had already killed a goblin.
"See? I told you to trust me!"
The older superhuman was named Stephen. He used to work for the West City law enforcement agency, but after his exceptional talent was discovered, he served in the military for a few years and, with the help of the army, also reached the superhuman level.
I recently returned to my hometown, Xicheng, during my vacation. After learning that my nephew also had this talent, I decided to bring him here to gain some experience.
Sure enough, after he killed the goblin with a single sword strike, his nephew quickly showed an expression of admiration, which pleased him greatly.
To his displeasure, neither of the two masked men glanced in their direction; instead, they were both deep in thought.
"Let's go!"
"Stop being in a daze!"
Seeing that the two were still standing there, Stephen urged them on.
The team continued onward. Although they encountered a few goblins along the way, they were all dealt with by Timin. Lin Tian had no intention of competing with him for monsters. There was no need to fight over one or two monsters. Since he wanted to show off, let him.
Somewhat surprisingly, the painted-painted monk also looked wary of his surroundings. The others simply assumed he was scared because it was his first time entering a secret realm, but Lin Tian took a second look.
"This one is yours, Tick!"
Stephen knew he couldn't just blindly protect his nephew; only by letting him truly experience combat could he grow!
"Okay, Uncle!"
Tick readily agreed. With his uncle by his side, he didn't need to worry about any dangers, and the opportunity to fight the monster himself naturally excited him.
He looked at the ugly goblin, picked up a longsword and charged straight at it. The goblin was not strong and was quickly cut down by his sword.
Just as he was feeling smug about this, a dark figure suddenly rushed out from his right!
"Damn humans, die!"
A green goblin that had been lying in wait suddenly rushed out, brandishing its sharp teeth and claws as it charged toward Tick.
Having little experience in actual combat, Tik was stunned by the sudden attack.
Fortunately, at that moment, Stephen, who had been silently observing from the side, suddenly drew his sword and killed the monster with a single strike.
Boom!
Tick didn't know when he had fallen to the ground. He didn't dare to breathe heavily until the life in the monster's eyes gradually faded.
"Have you forgotten what I told you?"
"Pay close attention to your surroundings before taking any action!"
Seeing his nephew like this, Stephen couldn't bear it and started lecturing him again. He reached out, took his nephew's hand, lifted him up, and then patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, don't be nervous! It's normal to feel this way the first time!"
With his uncle's comforting words, Tick finally came to his senses from the fear. Reflecting on the events that had just transpired, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of admiration for his uncle.
Just when everyone thought nothing had happened, the stone slab beneath their feet suddenly began to glow.
This is... a magic circle!
The well-informed Stephen immediately recognized the glowing object beneath his feet. However, before he could react, the stone slab beneath their feet suddenly vanished, and the group plummeted downwards!
Snapped!
As a Silver-ranked individual, Lin Tian reacted much faster than them. He suddenly grabbed the edge of the stone brick and hooked himself onto it.
The others weren't so lucky. Unable to react in time, they plummeted into the darkness below. If Lin Tian wasn't mistaken, what lay below was definitely not a good place.
Somewhat surprisingly, the oil-painted cultivator who was just as vigilant as Lin Tian also reacted quickly and grabbed the nearest stone brick.
"Are you OK?"
After the two climbed to safety, Lin Tian subconsciously asked.
"fine."
After tidying up their disheveled clothes, the two looked down into the bottomless black hole.
"How to do?"
The oil-painted cultivator subconsciously asked Lin Tian, because in the sudden crisis just now, Lin Tian had grabbed the edge of the stone brick before him, and this reaction speed made him subconsciously think that Lin Tian was stronger than him.
"keep going!"
Lin Tian looked at the narrow stone bricks along the passageway, pondered for a moment, and came up with an idea.
He still had to move forward; staying here was pointless. But Lin Tian was reluctant to turn back, since the mission rewards were there. He would only retreat temporarily if there was an enemy he couldn't defeat.
"What about you? Do you want to come with me? It's okay if you don't. You can just walk back along this road."
After making his decision, Lin Tian must have also asked the oil-painted cultivator. His words didn't sound forceful; he was just asking out of politeness.
"I'm not leaving either!"
"But I won't move forward either!"
The first sentence made Lin Tian look at him with new respect. He didn't expect this guy to be so bold. But the second sentence made him feel a little confused. Not moving forward meant that he was afraid. If he was afraid, why didn't he just go back the way he came?
However, the next second, the oil-painted monk gave an unexpected answer.
"I'm going to jump down and save them!"
"what?"
Lin Tian was bewildered by this nonsensical answer. Jump down? Are you kidding me? Has this kid lost his mind?
Putting aside whether there are monsters below, just the fact that it looks bottomless makes it impossible to know how high it is. Lin Tian felt that jumping down was the stupidest choice.
But the man with the face paint remained firm in his decision. Looking at the bewildered Lin Tian, he slowly explained:
“I am a pastor, and I cannot stand by and watch someone die in danger.”
"As for the dangers below..."
"I'm sorry, but I actually concealed my strength before. I recently broke through to the Silver level. To be immodest, I should be one of the stronger ones among us, so you don't need to worry about my safety."
“I would rather you not go any further. You stay here and wait for me. After I rescue them, we will leave together.”
Hearing this somewhat saintly statement, Lin Tian couldn't help but shake his head. Seeing that the other party was determined to do so, he didn't bother to try to persuade them to stay.
"In that case, let's part ways. You go down and save them, and I'll continue on my way!"
"I hope I'll still be able to see you all after the secret realm ends!"
