Zhao Lei said there was something ahead suppressing him.
Chu Tian, however, felt nothing.
He had always trusted his intuition.
Had it failed him this time?
However, with Zhao Lei's reminder, Chu Tian realized.
His senses had indeed decreased significantly.
It was as if light itself.
Was being absorbed by the cave.
His vision was slightly better than Zhao Lei's, allowing him to see about 30 meters.
But his sense of perception was just like his vision.
And it would definitely decrease the further they went inside.
He remembered that when they first entered the cave, his visible range was still 70 meters.
Chu Tian had originally planned to follow Zhao Lei stealthily.
But seeing Zhao Lei's state, it was no longer possible.
The guy was acting as if he was having an episode.
He was carrying a stick, but he looked unsteady, his head heavy and his feet light, walking with a wobble.
Just as Chu Tian felt his vision suppressed to only a 10-meter range.
They reached a turn.
Swish, swish…
Two beams of white light shot directly at Chu Tian and Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei, already not in a good state, was startled and jumped.
However, instinctively, he dodged to the side.
One of the white lights grazed the tip of his nose.
It was an Ice Cone spell from an Ice Mage.
The frigid ice cone flew past his nose.
Instantly freezing the sweat-beaded cheeks of Zhao Lei into frost.
However, it also helped him recover somewhat from his uncomfortable feeling.
He raised his staff, preparing to swing.
But he saw Chu Tian's figure flash past.
Transformed into his leopard form, Chu Tian's front claws slashed directly at one of the men's throats.
This was no duel, where equipment and levels were the same.
Chu Tian was a high level 63.
Not only did he have a level advantage, but although his equipment was low-level, it was all reinforced to +30.
His attack attributes were not weak, but rather stronger.
With one swipe, the man clutched his bleeding throat and fell.
His eyes showed disbelief.
As for the ice mage who had attacked Zhao Lei.
He was preparing a powerful skill.
He had never expected that the barbarian warrior beside him.
Couldn't even withstand a single blow.
He quickly canceled his skill.
White light flashed beneath his feet.
"You want to flash away? Dream on!"
Chu Tian spoke, but his actions did not slow down one bit.
As the mage's skill flashed away.
Chu Tian's Wild Charge was also unleashed.
The mage's figure disappeared.
But Chu Tian's figure traced an arc through the air, charging towards the distant darkness.
The pull of the skill.
The mage he had locked onto had taken Chu Tian with him.
Another lock-on timed perfectly.
A moment earlier, the mage hadn't moved.
A moment later, the mage would have been too far away.
At that precise moment, Chu Tian seized the 0.01-second window.
Seeing this, Zhao Lei, staff in hand, charged forward with a True Qi Surge.
Due to the visual obstruction, he feared Chu Tian would encounter more people ahead.
When he stopped, the leopard figure, emitting a starlit glow, had returned to find him.
"Damn, you scared me to death! These two guys must be scouts left by people ahead, right?"
Zhao Lei saw Chu Tian return and put his staff on his back.
"Likely. There will probably be more ahead!
News of my killing them will reach the enemy soon.
They will be prepared!"
If Chu Tian had come alone, he would have definitely stealthily moved all the way inside.
But Zhao Lei couldn't stealth, and the guy was currently like a sick ghost.
"Boss, I know why!"
Zhao Lei suddenly spoke.
"Why what?" Chu Tian was surprised by him.
"I have a debuff on me!"
"What attribute?"
"The suppression from the Corpse King's bloodline! All attributes are reduced by fifty percent!"
Zhao Lei looked at his stats and was shocked.
Chu Tian found it even more unbelievable.
"The Lion King's bloodline suppression? Why would it affect you?" Chu Tian asked.
However, as soon as he asked, their eyes met, and they both saw the answer.
"Because in reality you..."
"I think so!" Zhao Lei gave a helpless expression.
"Brother Tian, what's the origin of the Heavenly Dao World? Why..."
"Don't worry about why for now! It seems there's a great opportunity for you here!"
Chu Tian knew what he wanted to ask, but he interrupted his words.
"Yeah! Good thing I roped you into coming this time, otherwise with my condition, I wouldn't be able to do anything!" Zhao Lei said with a laugh, scratching his head.
"Indeed, otherwise you'd still be digging graves!"
Chu Tian shot him a look, and the two continued forward.
As they walked, they took a step and suddenly...
The cave opened up again.
And the light was very bright.
The two, who had just adapted to the darkness!
Were suddenly exposed to intense light, causing a blind spot in their vision.
"Get away..."
But Chu Tian's intuition surged, and he kicked Zhao Lei.
Boom...
At the spot where the two had been standing.
Several landmines exploded simultaneously.
Someone had actually set up traps here.
After the explosion, the two got up.
Their vision slowly recovered, and they finally saw the state of the cave.
In fact, the bright light they had perceived earlier.
Was not very intense.
The overall appearance of the cave was similar to the choices they had made with the three paths earlier.
There were three paths here as well.
However, the material of this cave was a shiny stone, similar to glass or diamonds.
It was just that it had been too dark before.
And the cave entrance they had just come out of seemed to be blocked by a barrier.
With no transition between light and dark.
This had caused their visual problems.
The group ahead must have encountered similar issues.
Thus, they had planted several landmines at the entrance.
"Damn, they're really playing it safe, these guys aren't simple!"
Zhao Lei gulped down a life potion.
Although he had been kicked away by Chu Tian earlier.
He still suffered the impact of the shrapnel.
Several landmines exploding at once.
If he had been standing above them.
His over forty thousand health would likely have been instantly killed.
"Don't waste it, we don't know what else we'll encounter!"
Chu Tian activated his Ancient Tree form and cast a rejuvenation spell on Zhao Lei.
He also cast a few recovery skills on himself.
He had lost quite a bit of health too.
He could have taken less damage if he had directly transformed into Bear Form.
However, he had kicked Zhao Lei first and didn't have time to transform.
"What do we do?"
After the two recovered to full health, Zhao Lei looked at the three tunnels.
It was another choice.
This time, he carefully examined the ground.
It was different from before.
Before, the ground was covered in dust.
But here, the ground was as smooth as a mirror, leaving no footprints for them to consider which path to take.
Chu Tian looked and also shook his head.
There were no clues left here.
"Then let's try this treasure!"
Seeing that Chu Tian had no solution.
Zhao Lei said, and something instantly appeared in his hand.
"To find dragons, observe the winding mountains; one winding leads to one pass. If the pass has eight dangers, it must be shaped like yin and yang."
He mumbled as he took out the item.
Chu Tian glanced at it.
"Holy cow! A Dragon Seeking Ruler? This thing exists in the Heavenly Dao World too?"
Seeing Chu Tian's widened eyes.
Zhao Lei, holding the Dragon Seeking Ruler in one hand, awkwardly scratched his head.
"Well... I had a blacksmith make it!"
"Uh? What's its purpose?"
"Uh... for fun!"
"Then what you were chanting earlier..."
"To bluff... to bluff people! Sigh, got it... this way!"
Zhao Lei said, but by the end, he saw Chu Tian's expression change.
The Dragon Seeking Ruler in his hand had stopped.
Pointing directly at one of the caves.
