Chapter 231 Gray Desert

Chapter 231 "Grey Desert"

The sun gradually set westward above the tower, and when it was afternoon, everyone was ready to set off. They gathered together near the teleportation point at the top of the tower.

If there were no other accidents, Germain decided to carry out two teleportations and send the five people present in batches to the "wilderness" where the "immortal disease" was located.

In the first teleportation, it was Men Qi who was to be left here in the tower.

For Men Qi, this is a very stressful choice.

Because after Germain and others set off, if he encountered any special circumstances and Germain did not return to pick her up, she would be in an extremely bad situation.

When the time comes, she will be left alone in the tower, and she doesn't know when she will get rescue—maybe she may never get it.

Even if Men Qi wanted to save herself and leave the Dark Continent, it would be difficult for her to do so with her abilities. There was a high probability that she would not even be able to get out of the "maze".

However, even though she knew this was a possibility, Men Qi still didn't say anything because she knew that if she really encountered a special situation, the four people in front of her would be the most likely to survive and come to pick her up.

It would be an irresponsible choice for Men Qi to replace any one of them, or to let one or two of them stay with her.

She is a "food hunter" who has been in the mountains, rainforests and river bends all year round. She has encountered many life and death crises, but she still has this awareness.

Now that you have decided to come to the Dark Continent, you cannot regret it now.

Men Qi had no objection, and the teleportation began.

Purple lines gathered in the center of the teleportation point, and the "Transportation Lantern of the Labyrinth" emerged, revealing four messenger imps with twisted and swollen faces like lepers.

They are as special as the "Maze Teleportation Lantern". They do not cry and scream like the messenger imps in the past, but stare directly at everyone with numb eyes.

"They are so scary." Bisji commented, hugging himself as if he was cold and touching his arms.

After Germain lit the lantern, he remained in a half-crouched position, and his dark eyes under the shadow of the three-cornered hat looked at these special messenger imps.

I don't know whether the messenger gave in to the little ghosts, or whether they were resigned to it. One of them crawled over, slowly and swaying like a baby taking steps, and stood up.

It took the initiative to grab one of Germain's fingers, then stood on tiptoes and kissed the tip of Germain's finger with its cold lips.

Germain frowned, not out of disgust, but out of inexplicable pity.

Did this kiss affect my mind, or did I notice something in my subconscious...

Seeing the unexpected "gentleness" of these messenger imps, the other three were unwilling to waste any more time. They stepped forward one after another, half-crouched down, and stretched out their fingers.

The remaining three messenger imps also moved. They crawled to the other three, stood up in the same manner, grabbed their fingertips, and kissed them lightly.

All four are ready.

"Let's go." Germain temporarily suppressed the involuntary emotions in his heart towards them, "Teleport to the "wilderness". "

The scene visible to the naked eye was as distorted as ever, and darkness began to swallow everything.

In an instant, the world changed.

In front of us is a gray desert, with gray and white everywhere, stacked rock formations, sparse vegetation, gravel in the air, and polluted sky.

Everything as far as the eye can see is gray and white, without exception.

The teleportation point of "Wildness" was in a sunken pit, surrounded by raised gray-white rock formations. However, the worst-case scenario of being attacked as soon as they landed did not happen as they imagined.

When the other three people stood up from the teleportation point and looked around curiously, Germain remained in a crouched position, staring at the four messenger ghosts.

Since there is almost no difference in appearance between the messenger ghosts, these four messenger ghosts also have extremely numb eyes, and German cannot tell whether they have been replaced.

He could only put it down for now, and Germain confirmed the cooling time of the "Teleportation Lantern" and found that as long as he pointed at the other ten "Special Teleportation Lanterns", it indeed had no cooling time.

Germain can return to the "Maze" now and pick up Men Qi.

He did not rush to do so, but first confirmed his status - and sure enough, he paid the expected price.

"Negative Traits·Bulls-Eye Bias"

When Germain hits mid-range or long-range attacks, the damage caused will be reduced.

"Disease·Severe Cough"

All damage done by Germain is reduced.

His "pressure", even though he clearly had "Championship Halo - 7 points of pressure", still increased by 5 points. That is, without the blessing of "halo", he now had 12 points of more "pressure".

At the same time, almost the moment he saw "Disease and Severe Coughing", Germain, who received some kind of hint, felt his throat itchy and coughed involuntarily.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

At first, the other three people just thought he was coughing because of the sand and dust in the "wilderness". However, when Germain's coughing continued and got worse, everyone realized something was wrong.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiaodi came over and asked.

"Cough, cough..." German couldn't respond. The cough made his face and neck turn red.

While coughing, Germain groped around his waist and quickly took out the card box he carried with him.

Xiao Di realized something was wrong, squatted down, snatched the card box from Germain's hand, opened it for him, took out one of the cards, and unsealed the "Herb of All Diseases".

She lifted Germain's arm, inserted the needle of the syringe into Germain's blood vessel, injected the medicine, and finally pulled it out and recycled it.

They still have the manners to take away the garbage such as syringes.

Jin and Biscuit also came over at this time. They thought Germain had been infected with the "Immortal Disease", so they nervously observed whether the "Herb of All Diseases" really worked.

Germain gradually stopped coughing, and he also recovered his breath and his breathing became smooth.

"I'm fine." Germain checked his condition and saw that "Disease·Severe Coughing" had been cleared, then he looked at Xiaodi, "Thank you, Xiaodi."

"You're welcome." Xiaodi said, "Sambika has trained us before. This is how we deal with this situation. Whether it works or not, just give it a shot first."

Germain smiled, then he looked at everyone and explained everything that had just happened.

Only then did they know that it was not the "Immortal Disease".

Bisji sighed: "It's impossible to be free of cost. In this case, frequently teleporting between "special lanterns" will put you in a difficult situation."

"When they accumulate to a certain number, you will feel their weight and they will drag you down."

Germain shrugged: "Anyway, I still have to pick up Menqi and can't let her wait too long."

"Okay." Bisji had no better way and could only indulge him in this almost self-harming behavior.

German lit the lantern again, aiming to teleport back to the "maze".
