CHAPTER 508: CHAPTER 374: ABYSS TAVERN (6000-WORD CHAPTER)_4

"Stop yelling, stop yelling." Lu Li scratched his cheek, feeling frustrated, "Who would’ve thought I’d just have an episode then? I can’t control it either!"

His condition truly was a major hassle, with unpredictable onset times and irregular frequency. It’s a miracle he’s survived this long.

Of course, the Prel’s Eye given to him by Li Zheng played a significant role, minimizing the potential risks they might encounter during exploration.

"Old Xiao, being a doctor, might know some famous psychiatrists. I’ll chat with him later; if we can find an expert, we’ll figure out a way to get you cured," Li Zheng felt that if Lu Li’s illness wasn’t cured, even with the assistance of Prel’s Eye, it would ultimately be the death of him.

"Let’s talk about this later, let’s focus on clearing the dungeon first." Lu Li didn’t seem too keen on discussing his condition, waving his hand as he went to open a special room.

The special room opened, revealing a pitch-black curtain within the metal door. Li Zheng recalled that it seemed like he hadn’t run a dungeon in days, no wonder he felt something was missing from his life.

Lu Li, carrying a big gun, was the first to dive into the curtain, Li Zheng glanced back as two Red Polis very graciously followed him with Little Sakura.

"I’ll go second, you can just follow." Li Zheng shrugged, giving the Red Polis a glance, and led them across the black membrane.

Entering the dungeon, the light in front suddenly dimmed, almost to the point where you couldn’t see your hand in front of you.

Lu Li, holding a sniper rifle, vigilantly stared at the distant darkness, where a faint light flickered, swaying gently with the air currents.

"Do you see anything?" Li Zheng went over to ask.

Lu Li had two eye-enhancement abilities, one was "Eagle Eye," which could increase his visual range, enabling him to see farther than others.

This ability was not high in tier itself, but he managed to promote it to Diamond Level, making it one of the more practical genetic abilities, well-suited for his role as a sniper.

The other eye-enhancement was called "Nightwalker," which automatically adjusted his eyes in the absence or dimness of light, ensuring his vision remained unaffected.

"Nightwalker" could be used in conjunction with "Eagle Eye," making it so that lights weren’t needed at night; in some ways, nighttime was more suited for Lu Li’s exploration than daytime.

"A... cabin, it looks like a tavern?" Lu Li replied, a bit uncertain.

"A tavern?"

Li Zheng glanced at the dungeon progression, where it displayed: [Fallen Abyss - Deep Layer].

"Oh, it’s the Fallen Abyss?" Li Zheng was amused. He had been worried about his Frenzied Power Demon Incarnation ability level being too low, hadn’t even bothered to use it recently, and now they stumbled into the Fallen Abyss.

Behind him, Ye Kai and the other two entered the dungeon; his mecha, after modifications, had two searchlights that, when fully activated, could illuminate an area with a diameter of nearly a hundred meters.

"You wait here, don’t move around recklessly, I’ll be back shortly." Li Zheng summoned the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade, unfolding Demon Thunder Wings behind him, rising into the air and flying toward the distant ’tavern.’

This dungeon space was vast, almost unobstructed, and Li Zheng directly accelerated to fifth gear, arriving near the tavern that Lu Li mentioned in the blink of an eye.

It was indeed a tavern, from the outside, approximately three stories high, with a dimly lit oil lamp hanging at the entrance. With a slight breeze, the lamp’s flame flickered, as if a slight gust of air could extinguish it.

Below the oil lamp, a mottled iron prong jutted out from the wall, holding a tattered, old piece of Deep Blue cloth, on which a twisted character was written in white paint.

Even though he couldn’t understand the character, locking eyes on it for about five seconds would bring a concept into his mind — "wine."

"It really is a tavern; is the main content of this dungeon to solve this tavern?" Li Zheng flew around the tavern a few times, besides the front main door, there were no other entrances.

There weren’t even many windows, all covered with opaque yet translucent materials, faintly revealing human silhouettes passing by inside.

Yes, human silhouettes.

Li Zheng could clearly see it was the reflection of several Earth-like humans, only with some sort of decoration on their heads.

Just as he was about to go down to the tavern to check the specific situation, a pure black Teleportation Gate suddenly opened at the tavern entrance, with an enormous dark red hand reaching through, gripping the edge of the gate.
