After checking the information on the Mutated Winged Shrimp, Rogel furrowed his brows in surprise.
This monster not only reached boss quality, but its level was also seven, even higher than the Winged Shrimp boss.
Is this floor a double boss?
Should I fight?
This Mutated Winged Shrimp looks very strong, and even though the Dark Sea Hunter has undergone a second tamorphosis and its strength has increased, facing it head-on might not be advantageous.
Moreover, who knows what strange abilities this mutated creature might have waiting for him.
Rogel thought for a mont and decided to go back and check the remaining two passages first.
Not long after, Rogel arrived at the next passage.
In this passage, surprisingly, no monsters appeared.
Then a familiar scene unfolded again.
A spacious gray rock cave appeared before Rogel.
The scene in front of him made his heart chill.
Corpses, all corpses!
As far as the eye could see, the surroundings were filled with waterlogged corpses, with many sea creatures weaving among them.
However, these corpses were not human.
But they didn’t look like ordinary sea creatures or the Winged Shrimp he encountered before either.
They were the corpses of unidentifiable species.
Frowning, Rogel controlled the Dark Sea Hunter to search the gray rock cave.
[You found Twisted Shell ×1.]
[You found Waterlogged Tumor ×1.]
[...]
After checking the information on these drops, Rogel’s brows knitted tightly.
Almost all of them were related to the "unknown force contamination" ntioned in the description of the previous mutated shrimp.
What is going on?
Rogel continued searching with suspicion.
After skipping many useless and disgusting drops, he finally found a half-opened treasure chest.
[You found a Copper Treasure Chest; it looks like it can be opened directly.]
Trying the chest cautiously, Rogel found that it could indeed be opened directly.
Finally, no need to look for a key!
Tears of emotion stread down Rogel’s face.
It’s not easy to find a chest that is neither a Treasure Box Monster nor requires a key.
[You found Hunger Pouch ×1.]
[You found Mutated Tumor ×1.]
[You found Desperate’s Eyebrow Bone ×1.]
[You found Special Stone Coins ×3.]
"..."
Rogel had a sowhat odd expression.
Why do the items from this chest have such a strange flavor...
After storing the items, Rogel began checking the information.
[Hunger Pouch]
[Type: Special Artifact]
[Quality: Purple]
[Special Effect: Contract with it to gain an additional 18 slots in your Item Inventory, but you must feed it fresh at equivalent to one and a half human bodies every three days.]
[Explanation: Soone extracted it from its original owner’s stomach and made it into a special artifact. Rember to feed it on ti, otherwise, it will consu all the edible items in your stockpile.]
This Hunger Pouch resembles the stomach of so creature, with so writhing, twisted blood vessels on it.
[Initiate Contract: Yes/No]
Rogel’s eyes lit up; he had been troubled by the lack of an inventory for the Clone, and now his prayers had been answered.
As for the "one and a half human bodies’ worth of fresh at" in the description, Rogel couldn’t be bothered to comnt on this unit of asurent.
After choosing to initiate the contract, the Hunger Pouch directly attached itself to the abdon of the Dark Sea Hunter, turning into a large mouth full of fangs.
"Though useful, it is a bit ugly..."
Rogel felt a bit toothache.
The fierce and majestic Dark Sea Hunter, which carried a touch of uncanny aesthetic, beca even more terrifying with a mouth added to its belly.
[Mutated Tumor]
[Type: Consumable]
[Quality: Blue]
[Special Effect: Consuming the Mutated Tumor will lead to an irreversible mutation; the effects of the mutation are unknown.]
[Explanation: This is an essence; do not cook it, eat it warm.]
Rogel held back from this description for a long ti.
Get lost!
Who would eat such an eerie thing warm!
Rogel placed it into the Hunger Pouch.
Then, a gulping sound ca from the Dark Sea Hunter’s abdon.
[Desperate’s Eyebrow Bone]
[Type: Accessories]
[Quality: Green]
[Special Effect: Lower two points of Spiritual Value, gain the aura of mutation.]
It seems to be an accessory that can be useful in certain situations.
Rogel threw it into the Hunger Pouch again.
[Special Stone Coin]
[Type: Artifact]
[Quality: White]
[Special Effect: None]
[Explanation: Perhaps in the eyes of certain individuals, it holds exchange value.]
Despite its mysterious description, isn’t it just a Ga Coin?
Is a mysterious shady rchant going to appear next?
Rogel thought to himself sarcastically.
Though the things he acquired on this trip are sowhat strange, the gains can’t be denied.
Especially the Hunger Pouch, which resolves Rogel’s pressing issue.
After scanning the surroundings, Rogel once again utilized the "dig three feet into the ground" skill of gars.
And sure enough, he found sothing!
"There’s a hidden passage!"
Clearing the debris around, Rogel observed and then directly crawled inside.
After traveling for a while, the path broadened ahead of Rogel.
Then he recognized an old acquaintance.
Winged Shrimp!
Rogel was a bit surprised to see the stone fence opposite him.
He originally thought the way leading to the cave where the Winged Shrimp was located was one of the five paths at the Gray Rock Node.
Unexpectedly, it was this hidden passage.
What’s left inside the remaining pathway?
Rogel grew curious.
However, he didn’t plan to turn back now.
Since he was here, he might as well greet the old acquaintance!
A mischievous smile appeared on Rogel’s face.
At this mont, the Winged Shrimp was facing the stone fence, asleep.
It seed to have been disturbed to the point of being defenseless by Rogel, the cunning one.
Even in sleep, it faced that direction.
However, it had no idea that a sneaky individual had already positioned himself behind its rear.
"Hehe."
The next mont, the Dark Sea Hunter’s mouthparts closed, its abdon churned, and then it opened suddenly.
Whoosh!
A slender, prismatic ice spike, propelled by the acceleration of the Dark Sea Hunter, sliced through the water.
In the next mont, the ice spike pierced harshly into the armor on the head of the Winged Shrimp.
[Oooooo——]
The Winged Shrimp instantly woke up, furious from pain.
Without a mont’s hesitation, the Winged Shrimp spread its wings, rapidly arriving in front of the stone fence.
Indeed, the Winged Shrimp believed Rogel was being pesky and attacking sneakily at the stone fence again.
The Winged Shrimp roared in a deep, furious sound, staring fixedly at the other side of the stone fence.
It was apparent it had no ans of ranged attack.
Otherwise, it would have bombarded it relentlessly.
However, the real assailant, Rogel, hiding in the shadows, used level three Dark Concealnt Skill to quietly sneak up beside the Winged Shrimp.
Looking at the tender flesh under the Winged Shrimp’s wings, unprotected by shell armor, Rogel grinned a sinister smile.
He knew the Winged Shrimp would be focused on the stone fence.
But what he didn’t expect was for it to spread its wings imdiately.
He thought it would take more harassnt attempts.
But this worked just fine; it saved him so ti.
The Dark Sea Hunter raised the Serrated Bone Blade, letting tendrils of frost begin to accumulate on it.
At that mont, the Winged Shrimp was unaware of the looming danger...
