Shall we go to open up the wasteland together tomorrow?

Chapter 46: Can’t Bite

People are on the left, words are on the right.

Ethan looked at the deep entrance of the tunnel on the left and went in without hesitation.

Dark.

It was pitch dark.

This caused a lot of trouble for Ethan at the moment.

He still remembered the information he bought from the bounty agency, which said that whale oil would release a faint smell after burning to drive away aliens. If the whale oil torch in the cave was not lit, please explore with caution.

Fortunately, it was the third level of the Greedy Cave, which was not a big threat to him.

It was safe in the dark with Bryant helping.

"Squeak~"

Another alien rat.

"I declare you guilty~"

A black 'sin mark' appeared on its body, and then yellow and blue flames began to burn.

In the dark, Ethan saw the target with the faint light of the fire of conviction.

This alien rat was slightly larger than the ones outside, and lacked the quietness of other alien rats.

It did not choose to sit and wait for death, nor did it choose to turn around and run away.

Instead, it quickly pounced on Ethan, with great murderous intent.

Although the seal of the Heavenly Punishment was released very quickly, the chain had already entangled one of its front paws.

But for a period of time before it was completely released, the alien rat could still move.

"Hua La La~"

The chain dragged on the ground, making a series of metal friction sounds.

Ethan couldn't see its movements clearly, so he could only use the quick dodging movements of hip-hop fighting to dodge.

When Ethan dodged the third attack of the alien rat, the chain on its body had already wrapped around its whole body.

A shackle fell from the void and just caught its neck.

The shackle ignited a green and yellow flame of judgment.

What a stubborn and cruel creature.

Without waiting for the "transcendence" link, Ethan raised his knife and fell.

Successfully harvested a pair of fangs.

Hmm? Why is it red this time?

Facing the faint light behind him, Ethan put the pair of teeth into the badge, wondering if it could be used.

If it was in a bright environment, Ethan would not be afraid.

But in this dark tunnel, if he didn't have the ability of "Crime and Punishment", he might really not be able to bear it.

After walking through another long corridor, the tunnel suddenly opened up.

Only one of the whale oil torches on the wall was still flickering.

This was the place where supplies were stored in the tunnel. At the beginning of the tunnel, a large guild would temporarily store supplies here.

But now it was empty.

Under the only whale oil torch that was still lit, a shocking blood-red sign stood here.

'Danger ahead! '

The four big words were written in blood, and blood flowed down the distorted font.

It made people feel cold all over.

Perhaps because of the sign, Ethan looked forward along the tunnel, and a strange fear came over him.

"Huh~"

He sighed.

Looking at the body of a strange rat that was chopped in half on the ground, he smiled bitterly.

The strange rat was cut in half from the waist by a strong force, and its intestines and blood flowed all over the ground.

There was an obvious scratch above the entrance of the cave, and there was a gap on the ground that was smashed open by a strong force.

This reminded Ethan of the giant sword in Lisa's hand when he fought with her.

Its power should not be underestimated.

With her character, she would never turn back just because of the words on the sign.

He had no choice but to continue moving forward.

The tunnel began to narrow again, and Ethan could only hope that the young lady would put away the big sword. Using a big sword in such a place would simply be courting death.

Fortunately, there was nothing unusual about the whale oil torch on the wall of this section of the tunnel.

This was a kind of spiritual comfort for Ethan who was walking alone.

But soon his comfort was gone.

Looking at the tunnel that was gradually sinking into darkness, Ethan had an ominous premonition.

A guess suddenly popped up in his mind: Could the whale oil torch in the middle be deliberately used to attract people to come here?

"Hiss~"

The smell of blood in front was very strong.

Bryant just turned around the entrance of the tunnel and retreated.

In fact, with its strength, it can enter and exit freely, but it is a little worried that Ethan can't handle it, so it dare not leave without permission.

With Bryant by his side, Ethan continued to move forward boldly.

"Tick-tick"

In the deep tunnel, there was a faint sound of water dripping.

"Hiss~"

Bryant's voice came, and Ethan stopped.

There is something in front.

Bryant turned into a shadow again and disappeared on Ethan's shoulder.

Shadow flow ability is very suitable for traveling in this kind of tunnel.

However, once he becomes a shadow, Bryant's ability will be limited to the two-dimensional world, and his perception ability will be greatly reduced.

The next response depends on Ethan himself.

This time the creature is much smarter than the previous alien rat. It did not make a sound in advance, but it was sensed by Bryant.

Ethan discovered another feature of "Crime and Punishment". It is impossible to judge the unknown without sensing the target.

Facing the darkness, Ethan became more cautious.

He leaned against the wall with his back, holding a dagger in his right hand, and always observing the movements around him.

"Hu~"

A gust of hot and humid wind blew, and Ethan took the opportunity to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Wait!

Where is the wind coming from?

Without even thinking, he used his hip-hop fighting skills and rolled away from the spot.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the place where he had just leaned was destroyed.

What was even worse was that Ethan's retreat was blocked.

Based on the feeling just now, the opponent should be quite large, but Ethan still did not sense its existence.

Except for that gust of wind, the opponent did not reveal any flaws.

Where?

Ethan bent down and hid in the corner. He had the Sigeon breathing method. If the opponent's vision was limited in the dark, he would most likely not sense his existence.

But things did not go as he wished, and a strong wind gave him the answer.

The opponent was not affected by the darkness.

Ethan did not dare to delay and ran along the tunnel.

"Bang!"

It was the sound of footsteps.

The ground was shaking with every step.

What kind of monster is this?

It seems that there is no such thing in the bounty agency's intelligence.

Although running around in such a dark environment is very dangerous, for Ethan, staying in place is just waiting to die.

He can only rely on his own flexibility and speed to avoid the opponent's attack.

Ethan guessed that the opponent was ambushing in the tunnel because he moved slowly, waiting for the adventurer to pass by.

"Hua La~"
