I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse
Chapter 1142: A Similar Aura

Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: A Similar Aura

As soon as you set foot through the main entrance, the environment before your eyes changed drastically. What appeared before you was a massive cave, pitch black within, save for the faint glimmer of dozens of pairs of eyes shining in the darkness.

"Why hasn’t Casola come in?" After all three had entered through the main entrance, Kaidi realized Casola had not followed.

"He is only responsible for guarding the entrance; he cannot enter this space."

With that explanation, Dak and the others nodded in understanding.

"What are those red dots up ahead?" you asked, pointing into the pitch-black cave.

"They’re Vampire Bats, everyone be careful." A black fog shimmered around Dak’s hand as he slightly lifted it, and shortly after, six Skeleton Soldiers armed with Bow and Arrow emerged from the fog.

"Let them go ahead; we’ll follow."

The Skeleton Soldiers marched in pairs, forming three rows, with you three following closely behind.

Both Kaidi and Dak were curious about the skill you used to subdue Casola, but it clearly wasn’t the right time to ask. They made a mental note to pry the secret from you if they survived and made it out alive.

Walking along, the path underfoot was surprisingly smooth, and the cave was much more spacious than they had imagined.

"Hey, Dak, did you notice?" Kaidi suddenly spoke up.

"Mm," Dak nodded, "I’ve noticed that my vision is getting blurrier."

"Darkness shouldn’t affect us Undead; our vision was quite clear at the start, but the deeper we go, the more blurred it becomes. Now I can only see less than a meter."

"This place must be enchanted by some Upper Mage. I tried breaking the spell just now, but it didn’t work well. If we go deeper, I fear there might be traps. Should I try using a Fire Element illumination spell?"

"No need." You, who had been silent up until now, shook your head, "It’s best not to produce any firelight; otherwise, the Vampire Bats above us will definitely not let us off. I can see everything clearly here, follow me."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Kaidi and Dak were both incredibly surprised.

Even though the Soul cannot carry the Sen Luo Eye, the Seal of Truesky is not to be underestimated.

"Dak, call back your Skeleton Soldiers. Not far ahead is a log bridge, with what seems to be bottomless abysses on both sides."

"Okay!"

Under your guidance, the three of you crossed the log bridge without incident. Once past the bridge, you quickly moved forward, pressing your hand against an iron door.

"Mu Yun, what’s ahead of us?" Dak and Kaidi were nearly blind at this point.

"Up ahead should be the second challenge."

"The second challenge?"

"If I’m not mistaken, the dark space we’ve just passed through is the first challenge set by Asuna specifically to test intruders. There are many ways to break through the first challenge, the most straightforward being to kill all the bats above and then illuminate the surroundings with torches to cross the log bridge. However, with such numerous bats, dealing with them is a significant problem," you paused, then continued, "There is also a simpler method, though there might not be many who know it."

"What method?" the two asked.

"I remember when I was a kid, I heard a storyteller mention that Asuna has a Close combat magic called Flash Technique. She can make her body shine, and even control the range of light emitted from her body. That way, it won’t disturb the bats on the cave ceiling; this is one reason why this cave is so spacious."

"Let’s go, someone else has already come inside."

At this moment, you are no longer the clumsy kid you were before. After these experiences, your mentality has matured beyond anyone else’s. You can truly stay calm amidst chaos and strategize behind the curtains.

Pushing open the iron gate, the three of you find yourselves on a vast plain.

"This..." The sudden brightness took Dak and Kaidi some time to adjust to.

"It seems we’re in trouble." You say with a wry smile as you gaze at the billowing dust clouds ahead.

On the horizon, an astoundingly large army appears. As Dak and Kaidi’s eyes adjust to the light, Dak’s mouth agape in sheer horror, his eyes bulging as though they might pop out of their sockets, while Kaidi’s jaw drops from excessive shock.

"No way!"

Suddenly, the pounding of hooves fills the land, and an immense Cavalry Team charges forward as the vanguard, sweeping toward the three of you.

"There must be at least twenty thousand men." Dak swallows nervously, his hand holding the Skeleton Wand beginning to tremble.

At this moment, you take a deep breath and stride forward.

"What, what are you doing?!" Kaidi exclaims in alarm, "Come back! Do you want to get yourself killed? We should wait for the others!"

"Come with me."

Without looking back, you start to jog slowly, and it’s at this moment that the vigilant Dak notices your right hand has healed.

Dak and Kaidi hesitantly nod and jog to follow you.

After running about a hundred meters, a group of people gradually appear behind you, positioned in distinct batches totaling four.

Among the group on the far left, one person is completely enveloped in Zi Yunwu, floating in the air like clouds in the sky, making it impossible to discern his figure. The attire of these individuals is rather peculiar, with no two alike, save for the badges on their chests that resembled the ones Dak and Kaidi carried.

When the newcomers see the Great Wall-like Cavalry Team and hear the thunderous sound of the hooves, they can’t help but step back, some even turning ashen-faced on the spot.

"My lord, the two people behind the lead figure are my subordinates."

Among the group on the far left, a man shrouded in a faint black mist floating mid-air speaks respectfully to the person surrounded by Zi Yunwu. The man’s light black mist allows everyone to see him clearly: he is dressed in a black robe, both hands tucked into its voluminous sleeves, head covered with a hood, leaving only a pair of green-glowing eyes visible.

Without a word from the Zi Yunwu, about a dozen people from another group on the right side, the leader - a burly The Great Han - laughs loudly, "Have these three fools been scared stiff?"

"Mu Yun, what exactly do you intend to do?" Dak is clearly gasping for breath - as a Mage, his physical strength is hardly impressive.

"This is a game; follow me, and you’ll understand."

In fact, what you see differs from what ordinary people see. Due to the Seal of Truesky, what you are witnessing is indeed a game.

Those who have played real-time strategy games know that players can control a nation of a certain color, build up their armies, and bully anyone they please in the game world.

Also, within the game’s settings, there exists what is known as a neutral, unclaimed army, invisible on ordinary occasions, but once encountered, it immediately joins one side as a formidable auxiliary force.

At this moment, you’re inexplicably excited because you see a turn just a few dozen meters ahead with a massive, well-equipped Cavalry standing there. These Cavalry are invisible to outsiders and will only become known upon contact.

"Ha!"

While sprinting swiftly, you suddenly leap high into the air, somersaulting before steadily landing on an invisible entity.
