Chapter 141: Can I Touch Your Thing?
Translator: Lonelytree
Matthew said in a deep voice, “You promised me that you wouldn’t blow up the tomb!”
Bobo looked at him in confusion.
“Yes!
“But what about the outer area and the blind monsters inside the tomb? Can’t I use bombs?”
Matthew rubbed his temples. He suddenly understood Yu Lian’s headache yesterday.
“It’s not that bombs can’t be used, but there aren’t that many occasions where they can be used.”
As if he was coaxing a child, he said gently,
“My summons and spells are enough to deal with most situations. Moreover, we have strong reinforcements. Although the man you saw yesterday’s behaviour was a little strange, he’s actually not bad and is very strong. “Just take this brick with you. There’s no need to make more.”
Upon hearing this, Bobo’s expression did not change. However, two antennae suddenly stood on both sides of her helmet, and the top of the antennae flickered with a faint red light. “What is the meaning of this?”
Matthew stared at the antenna.
“It means I’m very happy.”
Bobo replied coldly.
Immediately, her voice was a little shy.
“If you can promise me one thing, I can turn the red light that symbolizes happiness into an even happier yellow light.”
Matthew asked, “What is it?”
“Can I touch you?”
Bobo raised her head and widened her eyes which were filled with desire. She pointed at Matthew’s right hand and said,
“It’s this glove. I can feel the wondrous power it gives off. It has a terrifying power that can destroy everything, but it also makes me excited. Let me touch it, and I won’t argue with you.”
Matthew realized that the negative energy emitted by the Hand of Paleness had corroded part of the glove.
In the eyes of the Arcane Machinists, anything could be injected. Item injection was their most basic professional ability.
Each item would produce a different reaction after being injected. Of course, the most common reaction would be an explosion.
If Bobo had wanted an ordinary item, it would have been fine, but this glove was a first-class dangerous item.
Matthew shook his head and refused.
“Sorry, this glove concerns my privacy. I can’t give it to you.”
Bobo’s little face immediately fell, and the red light on the antenna became even more dazzling.
Seeing this, Matthew quickly took out a biscuit from his bag and handed it over. “Why don’t you try this?”
Bobo looked at Biscuit with disdain, but she still took it.
She placed the biscuit in her palm. After a slight arcane wave, the biscuit emitted a blue light!
[Hint: Your Machinist partner Bobo has injected the biscuit.
[Bobo has successfully created a Magic Biscuit (After consumption, instantly recovers 20% of mana. The mana standard is taken from the average value of a
Tier 3 Mage)]
Cookie that instantly recovered mana?
Matthew was stunned.
Bobo placed the biscuit in her palm and asked Matthew expressionlessly, “Do you want it?”
Matthew nodded.
Kacha.
She quickly stuffed the biscuit into her mouth and chewed it in large mouthfuls. She even provoked him vaguely, “And it’s gone!”
Matthew was stunned at first, but then he smiled helplessly.
[Hint: You have seen through Bobo’s cantrip,’ Crossing the Heavens’. You have discovered that Bobo has hidden the real magic biscuit in her palm.]
Matthew didn’t ask for the biscuit.
He Imew that although Bobo’s way of thinking was unique, she wasn’t someone who couldn’t be communicated with. If there were a situation that needed the biscuit, she would definitely be willing to take it out.
The two of them prepared for a while.
Lumiere arrived late.
He looked for Matthew with a conflicted expression.
“Uh, Matthew, I think I might have remembered wrongly. My Legend path seems to be in the rainforest.”
Matthew, who had long noticed Lumiere’s various abnormalities, went straight to the point.
“Did the Soul of the Rainforest send you to find me?”
Lumiere was shocked, but he soon said with relief,
“You guessed it yourself, so you can’t blame me, right? It was indeed a mission given by the Soul of the Rainforest. I couldn’t understand it either.” Then, he described the mission he received from the flying squirrel in detail.
Matthew smiled after listening.
“It’s okay. Just stay by my side.”
No matter what the Soul of the Rainforest was planning.
Now that Matthew was about to go to the dangerous Dalong Lake to rob a tomb… I mean… to seek an opportunity to advance, how could he not accept a Tier 5 blow-darter who had delivered himself to his doorstep?
After lunch, the three of them left Condor City and headed towards the rainforest.
When they left Condor City, they also encountered a few ruffians with unfriendly expressions.
Unfortunately, before they could even get close, they were sent flying by Bobo’s Lightning Gloves.
At that time, many people had seen this scene.
Therefore, the rest of the journey became very comfortable.
Nothing happened until they entered the rainforest.
After entering the rainforest, it was even safer.
Lumiere was a true child of the rainforest, and Matthew’s ” Suya’s Joy ” had not expired yet.
The two of them walked forward hand in hand.
This gave Bobo the illusion that this rainforest was quite safe.
A day and a half later.
The group arrived at the Dalong Lake. However, before he could get close, Lumiere said solemnly,
“There’s the sound of fighting!”
The three of them walked forward quietly.
Not long after, they discovered two groups of people fighting by the Dalong Lake.
There were 40 to 50 of them, and they were all of high levels. They didn’t look like good people.
“It’s the Sandstorm Bandits and the Order of Calamity!”
Among the three of them, Bobo was the one with the most information.
She excitedly took out the big bomb from her backpack. “What do you think? Shall we break up the fight?”
Matthew shook his head.
He brought the two of them around the main battlefield where the two sides were fighting and approached the Dalong Lake from another angle.
Then, he took out three Frogman Potions and signalled for them to enter the water.
Lumiere and Matthew had both taken the potion. Very soon, gills grew out of their necks, and their leg strength was greatly enhanced. In the water, they only needed to kick lightly, and they would be able to jump far away!
Only Bobo refused to take the medicine.
She hopped to the shore and jumped. With a bang, she sank into the water like an iron lump.
Matthew and Lumiere quickly followed.
After entering the water, the two of them got used to it for a while before they realized that they had lost track of Bobo.
A moment later.
A strong current suddenly rushed out from the bottom of the water.
Matthew focused his eyes.
A layer of glass had appeared on Bobo’s helmet.
Her pair of heavy steel boots were currently puffing backwards.
She hooked her finger at Matthew and dove down.
The two quickly followed.
However, the gap between the two sides was widening.
The swimming speed provided by the Frogman Potion was already amazing.
However, Bobo was like a high-speed torpedo in the water!
In the end, probably because she felt that the two of them were swimming too slowly, Bobo floated up from the bottom of the water again. Then, she grabbed the clothes around the necks of the two men and suddenly sank down.
A few minutes later.
They arrived at the bottom of the Dalong Lake.
From afar, Matthew saw a huge statue. The bottom of the statue was covered by a large amount of white sand, and the top was covered with water grass.
The statue held a sword in its left hand and a talisman in its right hand. Its facial features matched the image of the Su.
[Hint: You have discovered the Bright Sandalwood King’s underwater statue.
Knowledge (Giant/Su Clan)+10]
[Beauty +10]
“This is the place. There’s no mistake.”
Matthew walked around the statue three times and successfully found a secret door at the base.
He took out the Defensive Psalm and activated the spell recorded on it to crack the secret door.
It was beyond his expectations.
The secret door was instantly unlocked.
The three of them looked at each other, and Matthew was the first to walk in.
After passing through the secret door.
The wet feeling and the heavy water pressure instantly disappeared.
In front of Matthew was a huge underground square.
There was a stone tablet in the centre of the square that was filled with dense tadpole characters.
Behind the stone tablet were a dozen smaller stones that were engraved with carvings.
Matthew walked over and subconsciously placed his hand on the stone tablet.
A surge of information rushed into his mind.
