The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1164 - 728: The Entrance Is Found, But How Do We Get In?

Chapter 1164: Chapter 728: The Entrance Is Found, But How Do We Get In?

It pushed with its two claws, and the fireball flew into the mirror door.

Immediately, an identical mirror door appeared directly in front of Liu Zheng, and the fireball shot out from it, heading straight for his face.

"Shit!"

Although Liu Zheng was on guard, the mirror door was too close, and it was too late to dodge.

In a critical moment, he instinctively swung one tentacle towards the fireball, while the other tentacle wielding the Dragon Scale Blade severed the first tentacle.

The severed tentacle, propelled by inertia, continued forward and collided with the fireball.

"Boom!"

The fireball exploded violently, and the erupted phosphorus fire instantly burned the tentacle into brownish-gray ash.

Despite Liu Zheng retreating quickly, he couldn’t avoid getting covered by the phosphorus fire.

White smoke rose from the burned wounds, accompanied by a stench like freshly cut garlic.

His face was stern as he used the remaining three tentacles to wield the blade, cutting off the parts of his body affected by the phosphorus fire.

Even though his pain nerves had mutated, the excruciating pain still made cold sweat drip from his forehead, only to be evaporated by the high heat of the phosphorus fire and turned into white salt stains.

"Such a body..."

The ghoul watched from afar, filled with both longing and fear.

Such a body, once digested, should work better than an angel’s corpse, perhaps even more so.

However, this regeneration ability, which even for creatures like it was unnerving, left it uncertain.

The ghoul had heard that Black Mountain Goat Cubs had strong regenerative abilities, but for a hybrid to be this powerful, was it because of Divine Favor, or was something else added in?

"Better destroy him completely."

After a brief thought, the ghoul made its decision.

Considering the familiarity between the opponent and the Tomb Guardian, even if they preserved the intact body, the Tomb Guardian might not hand it over.

It spat out a spray bottle from its mouth, containing a black, oily substance.

Though phosphorus fire ignites everything, this corpse oil refined from a developing zombie’s body was instead a fireproof weapon.

The ghoul pressed the nozzle, covering itself entirely with a mist of corpse oil, then charged headlong into the mirror door.

It emerged from another mirror door, and though the phosphorus fire touched it as well, it was shielded by the corpse oil and took no damage.

"I told you, I will eat your brain."

The ghoul said triumphantly to Liu Zheng.

The latter’s face had chunks of flesh burned or cut away, exposing bare white skull underneath.

Once these skulls were pried open, inside would be sweet, tender brains.

While it didn’t dare eat a whole roast sheep, it had no qualms about roasted brains.

"With just you?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Liu Zheng opened his toothy mouth, making a sound that whistled through the gaps, looking more like an undead creature than the ghoul.

Then, he took a leather pouch from his system space.

"Name: Spirit Realm Gold Coin Bag"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Perfect"

"Effect One: Use Spirit Realm coins to randomly summon a Spirit Realm creature to serve the player. The more Spirit Realm coins consumed, the stronger the summoned creature. Duration is not fixed. Current Spirit Realm coin stock: 32."

"Effect Two: Every Spirit Realm coin consumed requires the player to expend ’flesh’ to replenish."

"Effect Three: Consuming Spirit Realm coins outside the coin bag can raise the coin bag’s capacity limit, at a ratio of 2:1."

"Note: I’m here to help you find companions, not to pimp for you!"

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

This perfect item had never been used since it was obtained, so it was time to see its power.

After all, it’s not one-time use, and he could always replenish with his "flesh."

Liu Zheng swung hard, tossing 32 half-real, half-illusory coins from the bag.

A tail covered in white long hair and green scales emerged from the void, coiling around all the coins, then disappeared again into the void.

"???"

Just as he thought he had met a coin thief, a big head resembling part dragon, part snake with two backward-growing horns emerged from the void.

Luckily Liu Zheng reacted quickly, taking two steps back to avoid colliding.

The Great Serpent stared at him, looking slightly puzzled.

Then, an aura flew out from its horns, instantly teleporting above Liu Zheng’s head and encircling it.

"Detect Evil!"

The ghoul recognized the spell, its pupils dilating.

This was the specialty spell of good-aligned spellcasters like paladins, priests, and prophets, which caused any evil-aligned creatures to emit a red glow.

However, generally, they would not use such a spell casually, because detecting evil was more about discerning one’s spiritual aura than their heart or actions.

Many creatures had evil spiritual aura, like undead, shadow creatures, and dark creatures, naturally possessing it, but they were not all evil.

So often, the detect evil spell was just an auxiliary tool.

Nonetheless, while good spellcasters might not use detect evil, those who do are certainly of a good alignment.

Though the presence lacked that life aura the ghoul detested, it remained extremely cautious.

In the eyes of this unknown creature, the halo above Liu Zheng’s head immediately burst into glaring red light.

As its expression grew cold, those red lights quickly gathered in one direction.

Soon, the halo split into two colors, one-half emitting holy white light, while the other half turned a deep, purplish red.

"..."

"..."

The Great Serpent’s expression turned puzzled again, and Liu Zheng was equally baffled.

"Uh, hello."

After a moment of mutual stares, Liu Zheng felt they couldn’t just stay silent, so he spoke first.

"Hello."

The Great Serpent responded politely, its voice unexpectedly youthful, like a boy in an anime.

"So, if you’re not interested in working, could you return my coins?"

He said.

"Even half would be fine."

He quickly added.

"My name is Asculan, I came because of your offerings; what is your request?"

The Great Serpent shook its head and asked.

"Help me eliminate the ghoul, and leave its eyes for me."

Liu Zheng pointed at the ghoul not far away.

"The environment here severely limits me; my true form cannot descend. I cannot fulfill your request."

The Great Serpent shook its head again.

"Then just restrict its movements so it can’t interfere with me."

He opted for a lesser request.

"Agreed."

The Great Serpent nodded.

Then its horns emitted blinding white light, and a trapezoidal pyramid appeared out of thin air, enclosing the ghoul.

"This is a Divine Temple Technique, it can last for up to eight minutes here."

The Great Serpent said.

"Eight minutes is enough, thank you."

"It is an equivalent exchange. May you follow the path of order and goodness, even in a place like Metropolis."

The Great Serpent gave Liu Zheng a deep look, then vanished into the void.

"I’ll deal with you after I finish grave robbing."

Liu Zheng said harsh words to the ghoul trapped in the temple.

As for the Great Serpent’s words, he completely ignored them.

In a place like Metropolis, acting lawful good, he’s not some Superman with an S on the chest wearing underwear on the outside.

Without the ghoul’s interference, Liu Zheng quickly caught up with the bullet.

Turning corner after corner, the bullet finally stopped.

He caught the falling bullet, looking ahead at the cemetery.

Although called a cemetery, it was actually a stone wall over a hundred meters high.

The surface of the wall was covered in moss and weeds, with some half-dried vines, looking like an ordinary stone wall.

But in a cemetery, this stone wall was inherently special.

Testing it with a tentacle, it did not have the roughness of stone, but the smooth and cold feel of metal.

"Could it be..."

He scratched the wall with the Dragon Scale Blade, revealing a golden sheen beneath.

"So it’s a metal wall."

He realized.

Now the problem was, the tomb was found, but where was the entrance?
