chapter 39: 31. flowers bloom elsewhere

translator: 549690339

killing the sin soldier zombie, appeasing the original master’s soul, and obtaining a small spell that might have unexpected effects, noland lee could not help but feel somewhat down.

because he had no spare filter cartridges left.

the filter cartridge he was currently using would lose its effectiveness in about 10 minutes.

not much time remained for him.

noland lee had no choice but to speed up the modification of the undead runes.

however, he soon discovered an even more confusing and troubling issue:

no matter how he modified the runes on the wall, he could not reduce the remaining 1000 building value points of the stone tomb.

these remaining 1000 building value points clung to the stone tomb as stubbornly as a dog skin plaster, immovable no matter how hard noland lee tried or how he struggled.

unless he could completely remove these 1000 building value points, the stone tomb would not collapse due to a zero building value, and noland lee would remain trapped in this ghostly place.

his only other option was to take a risk and follow the direction from which the zombies had appeared, delving deeper into the corridors to see if there was another exit deep inside the stone tomb.

but honestly…

considering the “death priest” mentioned by the sin soldier zombie, noland lee believed that going forward alone was not a safe choice.

if that death priest was waiting at the deepest part of the stone tomb, wouldn’t he be walking into a trap…?

noland lee could only try his best to modify any runes he could see. at last, as the air in his breathing mask became murky, he gradually felt suffocated and dizzy.

the sudden appearance of the stone wall not only blocked the path from here to the entrance of the stone tomb, but also became the dividing line between life and death for him.

noland lee sat down next to the stone wall, leaning the back of his head against it. his eyes stared blankly at the swirling poisonous fog in front of him.

the filter cartridge was about to fail, and its filtering effect had become very poor.

smelling the sour and rotten stench, noland lee’s consciousness became somewhat blurry.

in his drowsiness, he seemed to hear rustling noises, like footsteps or the movement of a crawling creature.

he tried to muster some energy, squinting towards the depths of the corridor, wondering if another wave of zombies had arrived.

just then, he heard a distant shout, as if from the far-away mountains.

“jarvis … jarvis …”

was it an auditory hallucination or a whispering like whispers of ancient gods?

did the newcomer know illusion magic?

noland lee stood up with the help of the wall, concentrating on the poisonous fog in front of him, waiting for his enemy.

whether it was a zombie or a charming demon, he would fight to the end.

“jarvis… jarvis… are you still alive?”

“thump thump thump…”

was the knocking sound coming from behind?

noland lee’s gaze trembled slightly.

he finally identified the source of the sound.

indeed, the sound came from behind the stone wall!

he turned around, felt around on the wall, but could not find any cracks or anything of that sort.

if there was someone on the other side of the wall, they must be shouting with all their strength to barely carry their voice through to him>.

noland lee clenched his fist and knocked on the wall a few times in response but dared not to shout out loud for fear of alerting any enemies that may be lurking deeper in the corridor.

“jarvis! jarvis! is that you? if it is, knock on the wall again, three short and one long!’

this time noland lee heard it clearly, it was sergeant mars’ voice.

hadn’t he chased the death herald guild spy into the depths of the tomb? how did he end up on the other side of the wall?

a huge question mark arose in noland lee’s mind, but without stopping his hands, he knocked out the three short and one long signal with his fists.

“it’s really him! ha ha! i knew it! he’s still alive! it must have been him who modified the undead runes, allowing us to break out of the enemy’s encirclement!”

mars’s joyful voice came from the other side of the wall:
