Chapter 520: Island of Devil’s Maw (26)

“Ah... that was better than nothing...” The Spirit of Mimicry made a show of digging his nose (even though it had no nostril) and used a rather disinterested tone to say, “After all, it’s hard to hear any ghost stories on the island. It has been... a few weeks since the last time I heard that.”

“But that was not too long ago!” Atobe was quick to point out.

“Well, there appears to be quite an influx of visitors from the other worlds recently...” Feng Bujue probed in an unreadable expression.

“No, not all the visitors were like you people.” The Soul of Mimicry added, “There were humans from the main universe, and... other lifeforms.” It paused. “Hmm... but that is not the point.” It seemed to realize the man was drawing him for information so it quickly caught itself and changed the subject. “No matter what, the deal has been completed. So... gentlemen, please come over to me and place your hands on my arms.” The Spirit of Mimicry said as it took a step forward and opened its arms. After exchanging a look with one another, the players walked forward and placed their arms on the shadow.Findd new stories at novelhall.com... and I thought there would be a sticky feeling, but it feels just normal...” Atobe commented as if to himself. The other three players had the same thought as he was. Before they had physical contact, they all thought the Spirit of Mimicry’s body was made up of something like rubber but after touching it in person, they reason... the entity’s body surface was very smooth and dry, it also had very low body temperature, like a piece of leather that had just been brought out from the fridge.

“What is so surprising about that? Adjusting the internal body temperature, moisture and strength to match the surroundings... that is very common homeostatic mechanism.” The Spirit of Mimicry said in a haughty tone. “Basically all the highly evolved creature, even some of the common creatures had this kind of ability. Of course, that includes you humans as well, but your mastery of this ability is surprisingly weak, that is all...”

Suddenly, the scenery around the players changed. The four heard the system announce at the same time. “Main quest completed.”

In the blink of an eye, they moved from a dark, enclosed stone room to a big hall that was as wide as a football field and the domed ceiling was about 20 metres off the ground. At the front of the hall, there should a sacrificial area that was shaped like a Chinese royal crown. Inside the hall, a dark brown stone path split the hall into two sides. Both sides of the halls were lined with circular columns around 5 metres all and they were arranged irregular. At the end of the hall was a circular door that was 10 metres tall and the lower rim of the door was joined to the stone path.

At the same time, on the other side...

Uncle Worthless, Atobe and Ambitionist had wandered more than 10 metres away. On the surface, it looked like they were exploring the map, but in reality they did not want to get involved in the conversation between Brother Jue and the Spirit of Mimicry... so they wandered away and pretended not to hear them.

“Hey... do you guys understand what those two are saying? It sounds impressive even though I have no clue what they’re talking about...” Atobe commented.

“It’s humanity contrarian course 101, the topic is ambivalent and the perspectives are not supported... it’s better if you do not understand it.” Ambitionist pushed on his glasses and said.

“We better pull our focus back to the scenario.” Uncle Worthless wiped away the cold sweat and changed the subject. “No matter what, we are in quite a positive circumstance. Like how Brother Jue analysed earlier, we have already completed the mission. The time limit for the elimination has been removed and the next main quest has not appeared in the quest tab. Therefore... we can leave this place without worry and return to go search for Pegasus.”

“Why don’t... the three of us go and do that now?” Atobe turned back to take a glance at the altar. He saw Brother Jue was still deep in conversation with the Spirit of Mimicry so he added. “We will leave the two of them here to chat, perhaps Feng Bujue might be able to get more information out of that spirit.”

“Hmm, that is not a bad idea actually.” Ambitionist replied. “After all, we have to leave someone behind, just in case Pegasus arrived here while we are gone.”

“I agree with that.” Uncle Worthless concurred.

Then, the three of them turned around to shout at Brother Jue and explained their plan of movement. Feng Bujue was in such inciting and arresting conversation with the Spirit of Soul that when he heard his three other teammates volunteered to do the footwork and leave them be, he naturally accepted their offer with open arms.

Therefore, the four parted at this place once again and went their separate ways to fulfil their own mission...
