Chapter 1060: Chapter 1058: Blind Eye (24) Chapter 1060: Chapter 1058: Blind Eye (24) If making excuses is pointless, then when someone thinks you have a problem, you had better actually have one.
“Are you sure?”
As the Sage announced the commitment to not abandon or give up, not only Shi Gaozhi and his group, but also the two remaining members of TP, all reacted with disbelief.
The left hand before them was not only behaving unusually, but at this moment had become disabled, and from any perspective, appeared to hold no value.
“Of course.”
The Sage showed no intention of explaining further, his tone leaving no room for objection.
“Take off what they have on them, we should be leaving now.”
“Okay.”
Ice was the first to respond, throwing a Golden Belt directly to TP, then looked at the Sage with an inquiring gaze.
“The left hand’s glove?”
She clearly meant to ask whether they should remove the glove to avoid unnecessary risks.
“There’s no need, is there? Otherwise, you wouldn’t know what to call me.”
Before the Sage could speak, the left hand standing there suddenly spoke.
The blood covering half his face did not seem to have affected his hearing, and even made a dark joke.
“That’s reasonable.”
In the silence brought on by the dark joke, the Sage chuckled deeply.
“Let’s continue to call him Left Hand then.”
“…Should we treat him?”
The atmosphere seemed to be rapidly becoming eerie, and Ice hesitated for a moment, looking at the two eyeballs lying on the ground.
“There’s no need for that, I think he doesn’t need it.”
The Sage shook his head.
“Right, Left Hand?”
“Yes, I feel very good right now, this is the proper way to enter the Holy Land of the Academy.”
The latter answered succinctly.
“It seems there are no more questions, let’s set out.”
The Sage signaled to TP.
…
No one spoke, and within the complex Underground Ruins, the exploration team followed the guidance of the Sage through the undulating paths.
This pace continued for quite some time and was eventually blocked by a figure crawling on the ground on the inevitable path ahead.
“Black Snake.”
With a call from the Sage, the individual at the very end of the line, with a somewhat complex expression, stepped forward.
This should have been Left Hand’s duty, but it was clear he was currently not up to the task.
Or even if he himself was willing, he would most likely be forbidden.
…
As the member nicknamed Black Snake stepped forward, TP already made way.
But most people’s gazes were not on this first direct fight but were instead evaluating the only blind team member.
At the request of the Sage, Left Hand had been considerately arranged to be in the middle of the team.
Yet, throughout the journey, he seemed unaffected.
Without anyone’s help or guidance, his movements remained completely unhindered.
Perhaps this could be tentatively explained by exceptional hearing, but it felt more like he was following some invisible guidance, which made people feel cautious.
Uh!
At that moment, a somewhat painful sound came, and a surge of dark energy concentrated on Black Snake’s leg, rapidly becoming tumultuous.
And just as the undead on the ground arched its body, attempting to start moving, the blackness accumulated to its peak scythed through the air in a nimble arc, striking it like a snake.
No visible damage could be seen on the surface, and the serpentine form vanished in a flash, yet the struck undead collapsed with a boom, crumbling into ash.
At the same time, Black Snake, who had launched the attack, let out a slightly heavy breath.
His body bore striking purple bruises, as though his flesh was about to rip apart.
“All your hard work.”
Signaling that he could return to his original position, the Sage commanded TP to keep moving forward.
However, just as the team crossed over the ashes of the zombie-like creatures, he signaled for another halt.
This left the team members puzzled, for there seemed to be only one path ahead.
“Left Hand, what do you see?”
Ignoring the many confused gazes, the Sage turned to Blind Eye Left Hand in the middle of the team.
What could he see … could he still see?
Ice, who was closest to Left Hand, seemed unsure of how to express herself.
Yet the one being consulted silently squatted down to grab a handful of ashes from the ground.
Under everyone’s watch, he stepped past the leading TP and scattered it towards the empty air on the other side of the path.
A miraculous transformation took place–a portion of the ashes stopped mid-air, resting on an invisible bridge.
“Excellent.”
The Sage looked very pleased.
“Without the burden of sight, you’ve become much more sensitive.”
“Continue.”
The dazed crowd was prompted to move forward.
…
With the crisp sound of impact, TP, who had reached the end of the invisible bridge, was struck twice more by zombie-like creatures with his Gold Shield.
The ripples that rose up next deflected a Black Snake outside, and the attacking zombie-like creature collapsed.
Facing the two remaining creatures who quickly shifted to a defensive stance, the end of the snake was called upon once again.
After a standoff that didn’t lead to an attack, both creatures fell.
Throughout this process, Left Hand in the middle of the team made no move, waiting quietly.
The Sage, having observed it all, signaled for everyone to enter through the Dark Gate that had been opened.
Inside the passageway, the scene was far more dizzying than outside, and the atmosphere as they progressed was oppressively tense.
A benefit of this was that the team was moving even faster than outside.
“Stop.”
But before long, Left Hand, one of the sources of the oppressive atmosphere, suddenly broke the silence.
“What’s the matter?”
Nearly bumping into the person in front, Charlotte couldn’t help but frown and ask.
Left Hand did not speak, instead pointing towards the back of the team.
“The snake’s end?”
Confused, Charlotte looked back and was immediately startled.
A figure was fleeing rapidly into the distance.
“Check it out.”
Without waiting for Charlotte to ask again, the Sage immediately gave the order, and the entire team sprang into action.
Although they didn’t understand the reason, it was clear that the snake’s end had just left the group and was quickly caught up with.
“What’s going on?”
However, Charlotte, running at the front, could hardly believe his eyes upon clearly seeing the figure in the darkness.
Although it took the form of the snake’s end, its movements and demeanor were just like a zombie-like creature.
Regrettably, the frantically fleeing snake’s end had no intention of answering his question.
Seeing escape was futile, with a painful roar, his body was once again engulfed in darkness.
His body, already on the verge of collapse from repeated abilities use, was torn open with cracks.
The next moment, the Black Snake, waiting until it couldn’t anymore, lashed viciously at Charlotte.
Unfortunately, this attack, which nearly cost a life, was fully blocked by TP, who quickly caught up and scattered on the Gold Shield.
With a cry of pain that also sounded like a sigh of relief, the snake’s end’s broken body collapsed with a crash, disintegrating flesh and blood.
“How could this happen?”
Charlotte, having received no answer, couldn’t help but turn his head and look back, his eyes blank with confusion.
