Chapter 88
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Returning to the interior of the base, he discovered some different details.
There were changes to every floor, the food warehouse that was built in the afternoon, the exquisite murals on the walls, the sanitation department's one-click cleaning, and the items department's one-click arrangement.
All of this made Klein believe that spending a large amount of resources to level up was worth it!
In the afternoon.
Klein woke up from his soft bed.
Lunch break was over.
He continued digging for the day!
Remaining number of excavations for the day: 4
Klein walked out of the runic base.
The huge runic base transformed into thousands of beams of light.
They converged into a ball.
Finally, it turned into the metal ball in Klein's hand.
No matter how many times he did it, he would always be surprised by the magic of the runic base.
Then, he didn't know how to build a building and turn it into a thumbnail.
He ended his lamentation and looked at the prompts in five different directions.
[Continue digging to the left. It's empty.]
[There are decent resources waiting to be collected in the catacomb above.]
[In the catacomb below, a few Sand Trolls are having an un.o.bstructed meeting. If you're interested, you can join in. Mother Sand Trolls like to torture small creatures.]
[Dig ahead and you'll find a Silver Treasure Chest. Be careful of the Observer Eye Devil above. Don't make eye contact with it, or you'll have a mental breakdown and become infected with madness. Take the Silver Treasure Chest and leave.]
[Dig backward. There's an Iron Treasure Chest. Don't be deceived by the Treasure Chest Monster.]
Forward or backward?
Klein pondered for a moment before opening the ill.u.s.tration manual and searching for the Observer Eye Devil.
He needed to figure it out before making a decision.
The search result appeared.
[Observer Eye Devil: A beholder that grows out of the soil. It's green all over, has four tentacles and a large mouth. It has a tongue that can shoot out of its mouth, and its body is filled with eyeb.a.l.l.s. No matter which direction you look at it from, you will always meet its gaze. Unless you have sungla.s.ses, it's best not to look at it.]
[Ability: Insane Sight]
[Weakness: Unable to move]
[Danger Factor: 48]
Ability Check.
[Insane Sight: When looking into each other's eyes, the target will fall into a state of insanity and completely lose consciousness. The stronger the mental immunity, the longer it can last.]
The image of the Observer Eye Devil was a little disgusting.
It was definitely a nightmare for people with agoraphobia!
There wasn't a single part of its body that wasn't an eyeball.
'It's quite dangerous, but as long as I don't look at it, I'll be fine.'
'Since it's hanging above me, as long as I look down at the ground, it won't be a problem.'
Klein decided to take a small risk
At most, he would close his eyes later and not give the Observer Eye Devil a chance.
The Observer Eye Devil's tentacles and tongue weren't particularly long. With the height of the catacomb he was digging, there was a high chance that they wouldn't touch it.
Furthermore, the tentacles and tongue were weak in attack and had low lethality to him. He wasn't a little loli.
However, before digging, he needed to give instructions to the two little fellows.
Little Fox would probably listen to him.
As for Little Wind, this fellow was very curious. He didn't want it to foolishly raise his head to look at it and cause trouble!
Klein asked solemnly, "Do you remember what I said just now?"
Before heading to the next cavern, Klein gave another solemn instruction.
"Wu, wu, wu!"
Little Fox wagged her soft tail and nodded obediently.
She would listen to anything her master said!
Little Wind nodded with a half-understanding look, but in fact, his eyes were rolling.
"Little Wind, if you dare to disobey me, Little Fox and I will strip you and eat you tonight," Klein said fiercely.
"Hehe…"
The Little Fox turned around and stared at Little Wind, letting out a strange laugh.
Little Wind felt a chill run down his spine as he hurriedly stretched out his forelimbs to cover his eyes.
Thud!
Without the support of his forelimbs, he fell forward.
"After you enter, follow me. Don't look up."
"Let's go."
Klein patted their heads and took the lead to step into the black membrane.
The forty-eighth catacomb!
Drip, drip, drip…
Water was dripping down.
"Is there water up there?"
Klein subconsciously wanted to raise his head.
He realized that something was wrong.
"d.a.m.n, I almost forgot."
The corner of Klein's eyes twitched.
Little Fox and Little Wind had already entered.
He lowered his head and looked back. The two little fellows lowered their heads to look at the ground. When they saw the water droplets, they had the urge to raise their heads.
"Hold it in," Klein said in a m.u.f.fled voice.
Not to mention them, even he was curious about what was up there.
"Let's go."
Klein looked straight ahead.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could vaguely see a blob of green stuff not far away.
In addition, the catacomb wasn't very tall.
It was probably about ten meters tall.
Of course, this was just Klein's intuition.
He wouldn't raise his head to take a look.
From the moment he stepped into the catacomb, he had already sensed that the surrounding environment wasn't quite right.
A normal person would raise their head to take a look when they saw water dripping down.
Who wouldn't raise their head to take a look?
He would definitely die if he raised his head.
If he had sungla.s.ses, Klein could give it a try. He could also kill the Observer Eye Devil while he was at it. It would be good to earn some souls.
For now, he should proceed forward.
Klein carefully explored the surrounding environment.
There were some decent resources on the ground.
He first searched for resources.
He proceeded forward.
He encountered a mud pillar that blocked his path.
It was about one and a half meters tall.
It resembled a palm at the top.
It closed its four fingers and pointed its index finger at the air.
Klein kicked away the mud pillar and continued forward.
This thing was hinting at him to look up again.
Any other person would have been hit!
Who could resist curiosity?
It was unknown if it was an icon created by the Observer Eye Devil, or if it was naturally formed.
Klein continued walking for more than ten meters before he came across a large tree.
He checked the details.
[Dead Sand Tree: Dead, lifeless.]
The dead tree was very tall.
Klein's gaze followed the tree trunk up.
He quickly stopped when his gaze was level.
