Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster

Tianji didn't have any difficulty in making choices. He quickly entered the door on the left and started a new exploration.

The terrain structure of this underground meeting place is actually not complicated. This may be because there is not much space for expansion under the island.

On the left road, Tianji moved forward smoothly. Occasionally, some corrupt soldiers and corrupt hounds blocked the road, and he solved them one by one.

And these corrupt soldiers also reflected the characteristics of the power of [Corruption] - strong vitality and infection ability.

If their bodies are not completely destroyed, even if their limbs are mutilated, these monsters can still stand up again.

And if they are attacked by the skills of [Corruption] and [Festering Storm] of these corrupt soldiers, the corruption effect will entangle the body of the candle spirit tightly. Even if the wax block is restored, it can only make people die slower, unless they recover at the candle.

As Tianji went deeper, the surrounding rooms began to have obvious differences from the previous rooms.

Most of these rooms are for single people to live in, and they are relatively spacious inside. They are obviously built for senior members of the sect.

In these rooms, Tianji also collected a lot of useless things and some texts, most of which were related to the Storm Cult.

After a quick look, Tianji put it away and prepared to go back and find an opportunity to give it to the storyteller.

Not long after, Tianji came to a corner again.

But this time there was obviously a main road and a branch road.

In the direction of the branch road, a heavy and unique door suddenly appeared, which was obviously different from other buildings full of decay. There was a square groove on it.

Tianji walked forward and pushed it.

[You are not qualified to enter it]

"..." Tianji.

After thinking for a moment, he took out the [Storage Room Authentication Card] he had found in the Festering Assembly Hall before and put it into the square groove at the door.

The next moment, the storage room authentication card glowed and the mechanism started.

As expected, the storage room certification card is used to open this door. If Tianji hadn't broken the rotten meat ball, he probably wouldn't have been able to break this special door.

While thinking, accompanied by a heavy mechanism moving, the door moved horizontally, revealing the darkness behind.

But followed by a strong smell of blood and rot.

Bang.

A corpse that was originally leaning against the door with a terrified face fell down in front of Tianji, which made Tianji's heart tighten, and he subconsciously raised the user's staff.

After confirming that the other party had no monster information, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere in this underground meeting place is really terrifying.

Tianji endured the discomfort and went forward to touch the corpse.

But he only got a bloody record called [Corpse Mover Work Log].

After opening the record, Tianji frowned.

Behind the gate here is both the [Storage Room] and the [Sea Burial Place].

The corpse on the ground is the corpse mover of the Storm Cult. His job is to move corpses in the underground gathering place and then bury them at sea.

Due to customs and beliefs, whether it is the villagers of the Storm Fishing Village or the believers of the Storm Cult, their bodies need to be buried at sea.

The job of the corpse mover is to put the corpse into the same burial pool as the underground gathering place, and then regularly put in a special "disintegration fluid".

After the corpse is decomposed, it will return to the sea under the influence of the ocean current, and the soul will go with the storm and rest...

Of course, this is what people who believe in the storm say.

At the beginning of the log, the corpse mover basically had no records, only some trivialities of life.

But one day, his workload suddenly increased.

Most of them were the bodies of Storm Warriors and believers, and most of them died in a very miserable way.

The corpse mover felt uneasy, but he did not dare to ask too much, so he could only work silently.

But the bodies became more and more, until the disintegration fluid could not handle the piles of bodies.

And on the last page of the log, the uneasiness of the corpse mover reached its peak.

"...Storm, I feel...these corpses seem to have undergone some terrible changes. They are rotten and decayed, but they will not disappear with the sea current. This scares me. Storm, I pray that you take these dead people away and let their souls rest in peace..."

It is unknown whether these souls rest in peace.

Anyway, this corpse mover will definitely not rest in peace.

Looking at the sharp wooden stick stuck in his neck, Tianji shook his head.

It should be some accident that caused his death, otherwise he should have become a zombie now, instead of lying at the door to scare people.

Tianji moved forward slowly.

With the help of the candlelight, he saw the storage room on the right and walked in.

Some weapons and books in the storage room were flickering, and there was no doubt that they were all props that could be picked up.

[Obtained: Storm Prayer Book × 1]

[Obtained: Wuzu Manual × 1]

[Obtained: Storm Ring (Excellent)]

[Obtained: Wuzu Cloth (Excellent)]

[Obtained: Believer's Long Cloth (Excellent)]

[Obtained: Believer's Robe (Normal)]

[Obtained: Wuzu Leather Armor (Excellent)]

[Obtained: Wuzu Turban (Normal)]

[……]

A series of acquisition prompts are worthy of the name of [Storage Room], and Tianji's originally bad mood has finally eased a lot.

However, it seems that Tianji can only pick up the set hanging on the wall, and there are still many weapons and equipment that cannot be picked up.

After leaving the storage room.

Tianji cast his eyes on the downhill road ahead. There was also a door here, but it was half-closed and obviously accessible.

The moment he pushed open the door, an indescribable stench came with it.

Fortunately, Tianji's senses had already been adjusted to the right level, so he could still bear it.

But after taking two steps, he stepped on something sticky with a snap.

Looking down, Tianji's face suddenly twisted.

[Rotten Slug], a monster of the ember grade.

Although it is not strong, the disgusting appearance made of rotten black mud meat balls and the number of dozens of them at a glance are really scary.

Fortunately, Tianji is a bucket, so he doesn't have to chop these disgusting things with a big sword like chopping meat.

After a burst of bloodstones and Wei Luyan's attack, the road finally became a little cleaner.

Milestone spirit candles also appeared in a relatively calm area ahead.

But after lighting the candle and taking a few steps forward, Tianji's footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Roar..."

"Da, Da..."

He heard two sounds.

One was the roar of a monster like phlegm stuck in the throat from the front, and the other was the footsteps from behind.

After a pause, Tianji raised the staff of the user and looked back vigilantly.

"Sure enough, there is someone..."

"Are you a firewood collector?"

Accompanied by the flickering of the dim flames, a masked man with similar but different clothes from the Storm Warrior appeared in front of Tianji with an oil lamp.

[Masked Man]

[Description: A masked man of unknown origin, you can ask about his origin and purpose through communication, or make corresponding decisions according to the situation. ] "Who are you?"

Tianji did not reply to him, but asked back, and the movement of holding the weapon did not change.

Hearing this, the masked man slowly raised the lamp, revealing the face with a blue siren mask.

"It doesn't matter. If nothing unexpected happens, we will most likely be passers-by. You just need to know that I have no ill will towards you."

As he said this, the masked man took out a long stick wrapped in cloth strips.

Seeing Tianji raise his weapon, the masked man was not angry, but just shook his head at him.

"I said, I don't mean to be your enemy. If possible, please make way. I need to go to the front to take a look."

Tianji frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "I want to go too."

"Then let's go together." The masked man said calmly, as if he didn't care about it.

Tianji watched him walk past him, and he really didn't have any intention of attacking.

After a moment of silence, Tianji followed him.

On the way, Tianji also tried to ask the other party about his origin and purpose, but he didn't even want to reveal his name, and just responded with an inexplicable sentence.

"Although I won't be your enemy, I don't want to get involved with you. This is very troublesome. I hope you know this."

The masked man was very polite, but a little indifferent.

Hearing this, Tianji stopped trying.

This was obviously an NPC with a dynamic plot, and he had no hostility towards him for the time being. Let's just see what he wants to do...

The two of them moved forward in such a weird atmosphere.

The surrounding environment began to get worse and worse.

Dried blood, corrupted flesh, rotten internal organs, slugs that appeared from time to time, and the horrible smell... everything was impacting Tianji's tolerance.

However, this situation did not last long.

Because Tianji saw something even more disgusting, which was also the source of the throat-like roar.

[Corruption Aggregation], a monster of the charcoal grade, is composed of corrupted meat mud and various mostly rotten internal organs.

The original sea burial pool was occupied by it and completely blocked.

And in front of it was a shallow pool of corrupt mucus.

If you step into it, you will probably be inevitably eroded by corruption.

"Roar——"

The countless cracks on the body of the Corruption Gathering made a terrifying roar, and at the same time, it also spewed out disgusting sticky pus. This face was even more shabby than the dung corpses.

"Heh... As expected." Looking at the monster in front of him, the masked man sneered and clenched his fists.

"Attack it with me, and everything will be yours."

The masked man sighed and turned to look at Tianji.

"Okay." Tianji nodded.

After getting Tianji's consent, the masked man raised the cloth stick and was about to attack.

But he stopped soon.

Because Tianji directly came up with a set of silky and smooth high-powered combos.

The power of fire was suspended high, and the arrows circling the airflow and the powerful blood stone explosions fell in turn, bombarding the Corruption Gathering with high intensity.

After a while, the Corruption Gathering wailed and exploded.

"Power of Fire?" The masked man was a little surprised and confused: "You..."

But Tianji raised his head and interrupted him, looking at the sea burial pool in front of him: "This thing is not dead yet."

Tianji did not receive any killing prompt.

This naturally only means that the corruption in front of him is not dead.

As he said, Tianji took two steps forward and ate another wax block, ready to make a last-ditch effort.

But the masked man was not surprised by this and interrupted his action: "You can't kill him like this."

As he said, he walked forward directly to a place in front of the sea burial pool where rotten flesh and blood were clinging.

The flames of war burned, he swung his fist, the rotten flesh fell down, and the long staff directly stabbed into the mechanism below.

After a slight sound.

The entire sea burial pool began to tremble violently, as if there was an earthquake.

The masked man quickly ran uphill to the back, and reminded Tianji as he passed by: "Hurry up, unless you want to be washed to the bottom of the sea."

Tianji glanced at him after hearing this, but did not ask any more questions.

Huh...

The waves hit the wall, and then slowly faded away, leaving the wet walls and the ground.

The two looked back again, and the sea burial pool that was originally occupied by [Corruption Gathering] had been replaced by deep blue sea water, and there was nothing left.

Tianji turned his head and looked at him: "Everything belongs to me?"

The masked man smiled when he heard this: "Yes, it belongs to you."

As for whether it is, I don't know.

Tianji shook his head in his heart, but he didn't care too much about it, but narrowed his eyes.

"You seem to be familiar with this place?"

The masked man looked at Tianji after hearing this. Perhaps it was to compensate for playing a trick on him just now, or perhaps it was because of the fire power he showed. He nodded, which was considered a response to the other party's question.

"Can you do me a favor? The things are still yours."

"I remember you just said that you don't want to get involved with me." Tianji touched his chin and looked at him with a smile.

"One thing is one thing." The masked man looked calm and didn't feel embarrassed at all: "I guess a powerful fire envoy can't use my favor."

This NPC is interesting...

"No, of course it can be used." Tianji shook his head: "I can help you, just answer my previous questions."

The masked man frowned slightly after hearing this, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded.

"Okay, but we have to finish the work first."

"Tell me, what's the matter." Tianji asked.

"You agreed without even hearing what it is?" The masked man looked at him in surprise.

Tianji didn't answer.

If it were reality, then we would definitely have to consider the pros and cons, but as a player, we should naturally follow the choice of "doing things when there is something to do, and finding things when there is nothing to do". Even if it is a dung spoon, we should try it.

Is there any reason not to do the side quest in front of you?

Seeing this, the masked man did not ask much, as long as Tianji could help him.

"I need you to help me find the bishop of this place, and then help me control him for a while at the right time."

[You received a special task from the masked man: Control the bishop]

[Task requirements: Find the bishop in the underground meeting house and control him at the right time. ]

[Task reward: unknown]

"Okay, I know, let's go." Tianji turned around and returned the same way.

It seems that because Tianji agreed to his request, the masked man took the initiative to ask Tianji on the way.

"What did you firewood pickers come here to investigate?"

The Storm Fishing Village dungeon is a supplement to some details of the big map, so the length is not long, and there is probably one chapter left.
