Chapter 71 – Holy Light

After leaving the Gluttony House, the rest of the journey was smooth and boring. They did not find any treasure chests, and only encountered a few weak stone monsters. Then, they saw a round and complicated pattern that emitted a faint light in the distance.
They immediately knew this was the Teleportation Formation to leave this dungeon because the system identified it directly.
“Thank you for your help. I’ll be leaving first. Let’s chat later.”
The long-haired girl had also received the system’s notification. As soon as she saw the Teleportation Formation, she said goodbye to Zhou Chen and walked over decisively.
When her figure stepped into the Teleportation Formation and disappeared, Zhou Chen couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. This girl really did not have much interest in the treasure chests, and did not have much desire to fight monsters for treasures.
“Her physique looks okay, and her weapon is not bad either. Could she be a spendthrift?”
Thinking of the calm expression on this girl’s face when she mentioned exchanging a mid bronze weapon or two million Dragon Country bills for a book, Zhou Chen felt that she might have her own ways to obtain resources and not have to fight monsters like him.
“Let’s continue looking for treasure chests. If I don’t find anything here, I’ll just end it.”
Zhou Chen pulled his thoughts together and remembered the location of the Teleportation Formation before turning to leave.
He had originally planned to return to the second floor to look for treasure chests, but he had exhausted a lot of his stamina and his weapons were damaged too. This Underground City was too large, and he felt that he could not stay here for long, or there might be problems.
After searching for a while and still not finding anything, Zhou Chen took out a roasted potato from his inventory and began to eat it.
He had obtained this item during the Survival mission in the Silent Forest. At that time, he had obtained too much food, and this roasted potato remained after eating his fill.
After replenishing his energy, he continued to search in this very spacious underground square. Along the way, he smashed a few stone monsters with the ax. Then, he encountered two familiar faces: the muscular man with the cudgel in one hand and the shield in the other, and the chubby middle-aged man.
The two of them did not look too well. Their tattered clothes were stained with blood, and they were clearly injured. They looked exhausted.
Their eyes immediately lit up when they saw Zhou Chen, and immediately talked to him.
“Brother, shall we team up?”
The muscular man, who was originally displeased with Zhou Chen, asked with a flattering tone.
“Let’s go together. At least we can look after each other.”
The middle-aged man smiled as well.
“No need.”
Zhou Chen directly rejected them.
“I’m more used to being alone.”
With that, he turned and left. The muscular man and the chubby man were speechless when they saw this and could only continue to search for the Teleportation Formation.
After a while, Zhou Chen still did not find any treasure chests. He only encountered a few weak stone monsters. After he smashed these monsters with the ax, he heard the faint sound of running.
He turned to the sound and saw a petite female figure running over.
The petite woman was being changed by a ferocious and strange figure.
He focused his gaze and quickly realized that the petite figure running in front was the petite girl that he had helped earlier when she was attacked by the Brain Eaters. He did not see the refined young man who was with her before. As for the ferocious figure chasing behind her, it was the two girls that Zhou Chen had been looking for a while. They had already revealed their true forms. Their bodies were broken and mixed together, turning into a terrifying monster with two broken heads, four hands, and four legs, like the monsters of legend.
“These two were indeed dead. They should have died under that stone warrior’s hands.”
Zhou Chen observed the terrifying image they presented for a while and made a judgment.
“Run!”
The petite girl ran very quickly. She quickly warned him when she passed by.
Zhou Chen ignored her and did not escape. Instead, he stood on the spot and continued to observe the monster that was rapidly approaching.
“This thing is a little strange, I should destroy it. Unfortunately, the blade and the sword they used are gone.”
Zhou Chen saw that the terrifying monster formed from the two women’s corpses no longer had the weapons they had used. They had probably lost their minds after awakening and were unable to use tools. Otherwise, Zhou Chen could earn a small fortune by snatching their weapons.
The terrifying monster formed from the corpses had reached close to Zhou Chen. Moreover, from the direction its two broken heads were aimed at, it could be seen that it had moved its target to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen did not panic. He immediately turned around and ran. He planned to use the things there to destroy this monster.
This was because he had experienced their tenacity when he fought the monster that the gray-haired youth had turned into. Ordinary attacks could not destroy them. He had to finish them thoroughly.
This monster was quite faste, but it was not enough in front of Zhou Chen. He did not even activate Windrun to prevent this monster from losing him.
Twenty minutes later, Zhou Chen led the monster to a stone building, which was the Gluttony House.
This was the main force he planned to use to deal with the monster.
Ah!
The two broken female heads of the corpse monster let out an unpleasant and strange sound. They ran with four legs towards Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen stood in front of the Gluttony House and calmly watched this terrifying monster approach. Then, when they were only three meters away from him, he suddenly used the Windrun skill to jump high, making this monster charge past his original position and toward the door of the Gluttony House.
The monster fell through the door due to the inertia. However, it spread its eight limbs to hold the door to prevent itself from entering.
“Looks like this thing is really a threat to you…”
Zhou Chen understood what was going on. He was even more sure that the Gluttony House could destroy this monster. He immediately used Windrun’s floating movement ability to charge at the corpse monster that was blocking the mouth of the Gluttony House and stabbed it with his spear.
With Zhou Chen’s help, the monster fell inside. The door also closed with a bang, breaking the front of Zhou Chen’s spear.
Zhou Chen had no reason to feel regret because this spear would be completely ruined after some time anyway.
After the door of the Gluttony House was closed, the continuous muffled sound appeared again, as if a giant was chewing food.
This process took longer than the last time. Zhou Chen did not plan to wait for the results here and directly turned to leave. He planned to search for treasure chests for a while more. If there were still no results, he would just leave.
However, before he walked far, he heard the system’s announcement.
