The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 374 - 248 They’re not moving, they must be making a plan
374: Chapter 248: They’re not moving, they must be making a plan.
374: Chapter 248: They’re not moving, they must be making a plan.
The young man looked at the woman in red outside the temple as if a chilly wind blew past, ringing the dilapidated bells above the temple.
He took a deep breath.
This star in red exuded a terrifying, eerie aura, floating mid-air, with her feet nowhere to be seen.
“We were just thinking about a player versus player duel…
and yet, before we even stepped out, danger has already presented itself.”
The youth said somewhat helplessly.
“Just think of these as environmental factors affecting PVP,” said Su Qi.
“After all, some games have bombing zones and poison circles, which are there to force players to speed up and add urgency.”
“…Urgency, huh…”
The young man pondered deeply, his ears twitched suddenly as he looked in the opposite direction, “What’s that sound…”
He quickly walked to the other side of the temple and pushed open the decrepit window with his hand.
The next moment!
“Boom!”
A terrifying black rain was crashing down!
Like opening the gates of heaven, raindrops like strings of pearls ferociously pounded the ground!
The young man’s eyes widened.
“What the hell is this?
Why is there such a torrential downpour over there, and black at that!”
On one side of the world, a fearsome black rain thundered down, while on the other, there was no rain at all.
The scene was a bit exaggerated, as if dark clouds were besieging the city, threatening to destroy everything like a dark tide.
“If you look closely…” Su Qi was observing, “You’ll find the black rain is approaching at a speed of 1.23 meters per second.”
The youth’s eyes bulged out in shock, gazing into the distance, “You can even tell that???”
The black rain was still quite a distance from here, but it was challenging to notice it moving at all.
After staring for a while, the young man murmured to himself:
“So this is the so-called poison circle…”
He began to understand a bit, and said gravely, “If we can’t detect this early on, by the time the black rain quietly draws near, it’ll be too late to run.”
It was like boiling a frog in warm water.
Moreover, he could tell at a glance the terrifying nature of the black rain.
Every place it passed, whether plants or buildings, quickly decayed and eroded, their life force rapidly drained.
He could also see numerous fierce beasts fleeing from that area.
“Bro, we must leave here quickly,” the young man said in a deep voice, ready to confront the mysterious woman in red head-on.
Su Qi appeared busy and replied, “No rush.”
“Not in a hurry…” the youth turned his head back, somewhat puzzled.
His eyes suddenly widened.
“What are you doing!”
In Su Qi’s hands was a [Dark Star] Bone Cutting Knife, skillfully slicing back and forth across the carcass of a beast, with a clean and expert technique.
Bones and meat were quickly separated without any mess or fuss.
“Stay calm.
The beasts living here all have resistance to the black rain.
Eating their meat can temporarily slow down the erosion of spiritual energy.”
The youth paused.
“I get the logic, but…”
His eyes fell on the thinly sliced beast meat in Su Qi’s hands, and then on the set-up copper hot pot and alcohol burner.
The young man shouted in anger, “This hot pot is a bit much!!!”
“Since we’re going to eat, might as well make it delicious,” Su Qi said nonchalantly as he pulled out not only the hot pot but also various accompaniments such as sesame paste, Chinese leek flowers, and chili oil.
The youth stared dumbfounded.
Who in their right mind would pack these unrelated things into their Item Slot!
Su Qi was very adept.
After all, it wasn’t the first time he had eaten inside an instance; he had shown off steak in a restaurant in front of Old Huang in the Anxious Land.
In the Venerable’s Office in Evil Town.
Su Qi, holding Ye Yuzi in the office, grilled skewers; the guy cried tears of joy, full eyes weeping as he ate, and afterward no longer called Ah Su but Brother Su instead.
But the most crucial point was.
Su Qi could see that the temple was a safe Sanctuary; there was no need to hurry away.
Rushing to an unfamiliar place would only put one in a passive situation.
Besides.
Although the Black Rain was moving, at its current speed, it would take at least an hour to arrive.
“Of course, the most important thing is, since just now, the other three players have been moving very fast, almost without stopping,” Su Qi observed the marks on the map, “If they had a Sanctuary like ours at the start, it means they’re choosing to leave directly.”
“Their movement paths are now somewhat erratic, even a bit scattered, and it’s very likely they’re being chased by some dangerous entity.”
The young man’s expression grew serious, and he too stared at the map, which indeed looked as Su Qi had described.
“And the entity chasing them…”
The young man turned to look at the woman in red at the entrance of the temple, his pupils slightly quivering.
“Right, if we leave this place, then Sister Hong outside would chase us down in the same manner.”
Su Qi looked towards the red-dressed woman at the Sanctuary, “The good news, it’s not fatal.
After all, they’ve been running for so long and haven’t died.”
“But the bad news is they can’t deal with this presence.
Once they leave the Sanctuary, it’s a constant run for their lives, with no safe time to rest or stop.”
Listening to Su Qi’s clear and relentless analysis, the youth was a bit stunned and took several seconds before he could utter:
“Bro, you’re amazing…”
He had thought this guy was here to cause trouble, but he didn’t expect him to see things so clearly.
Su Qi said, “So, do you want to eat?
Since we’re not in a hurry, as long as the temple candles don’t die out, the Sanctuary should remain.
We can wait and observe their situation.”
The youth nodded, “Then I’ll have a few bites…”
