Chapter 55 (2/2)

The Mimic pushed the bone towards Wei Huo’s foot. It started hopping while sticking its tongue out.

Wei Huo picked up the bone and realized that it was an unusual bone!

This bone was similar to a human’s arm bone, and it was quite heavy. Wei Huo knocked the bone on the floor and found that it was an unusually hard bone.

The Mimic was still hopping, hinting to Wei Huo that it wanted him to play fetch with it using the bone.

Wei Huo was confused as he thought to himself, ‘Why is this Mimic different from other Mimics?’

It was as if it was a dog.

Seeing that Wei Huo had yet to throw the bone, the Mimic hid the bone and became angry. It attempted to bite Wei Huo.

Wei Huo reflexively slapped it, and the Mimic flew for over ten meters before crashing into the wooden wall.

The Mimic shook its head, got up, and happily hopped towards Wei Huo again.

Wei Huo was speechless. “…”

This Mimic is pretty shameless!

Given that the Mimic was in the ruins, it should not have a soul. It could also appear again after its death upon next refresh of the maze, just like the wooden walls and bombs. At this time, Wei Huo was thinking to himself, ‘Could this thing be taken out of here like the bombs?’

Wei Huo pulled out the bone and lured the Mimic forward. Just like a dog, the Mimic happily followed Wei Huo.

Wei Huo was a little confused. ‘Am I actually here to explore the ruins or to take away all kinds of things here?’

Wei Huo continued bombing his way out. After yet another explosion, Wei Huo found a drawing which recorded the Black Bomb production method.

Wei Huo picked up the drawing, and it immediately disappeared. At the same time, a new blueprint appeared on Wei Huo’s Basic Construction Blueprint Menu.

‘Black Bomb. A bomb that is capable of destroying anything made of wood.’

Wei Huo was speechless. “…”

‘It can only destroy anything made of wood? I thought it was a ruleless bomb, but since it can only destroy anything made of wood, it’s still a rule-bound item.’

Wei Huo laid down the blueprint and purchased materials from the Item Mall. The Black Bomb was available in the Item Mall as well at five Magical Stones each. On the other hand, materials for making the bombs were cheaper as it would only cost about three Magical Stones to make one.

Wei Huo only had about 300 Magical Stones or so. He could not afford expensive items, but he could still afford cheap materials.

Wei Huo made three Black Bombs immediately and used them to bomb his way out. Soon after that, Wei Huo came across an altar.

Wei Huo was puzzled. ‘Another altar?’

Wei Huo looked closely. There were no statues or game consoles. There was only a coffin on the altar.

The coffin’s frame was made of gold, and there were carvings of mountains, birds, fishes, and a quirky hieroglyph on it.

The hieroglyph seemed like a dagger. At the same time, it also looked like a one-legged stick man. There was a circle on top, a cross at the center, and a slanted line at the bottom.

Wei Huo approached the coffin. There was no light in the altar hence, a light source was needed to see anything clearly. As Wei Huo had activated his Massacre Mode, he could observe anything within 15 meters of him.

Wei Huo studied the coffin. He found that the coffin was sealed, and it was made with similar materials as the wooden wall. The only way to open this coffin was to use the Black Bombs!
