### Chapter 130: He Unleashed a Famous Blade, d*ath’s Command
After eradicating all the zombies, Yuliya once again found a scroll on the ground.
She opened it up.
“We went to participate in a festival, but it was anything but a celebration. We were trapped in a large closed room, pitch black all around, with only the ground emanating a red glow. One by one, the others fell, while I barely remained conscious. In the end, I saw a few people radiating dark energy.”
Reading those words, Yuliya shook her head helplessly.
She had already guessed the outcome before, and now it was just confirmation, making her mood even more gloomy.
She was ready to leave this place.
But as she glanced one more time at the map, she discovered that the exploration of Withered Wood Village was at a staggering 99%.
It had lit up, but the exploration wasn’t complete. This indicated that there were still hidden things lurking about.
She jumped to the highest rooftop and scanned the surrounding houses carefully.
There wasn’t anything of note.
Could she have missed a monster?
Thus, she looked down at the ground. Usually, in this type of dungeon, monsters spawned from below, right?
But no monsters appeared; instead, she spotted a hollow.
“There’s a secret chamber!”
She leaped to the top of the hollow.
Finding a passage? Nah, no need.
She knelt down and raised her right fist.
If there’s no passage, then create one!
As a great person once said, “There was originally no path in this world; it became a path when many walked it.”
“Bang!”
With a loud thud, her fist smashed down.
However, the path didn’t open.
“Tsk! Inch Punch—Open the Sky!”
“Boom!!”
A tremendous rumble sounded as a large hole was smashed open by Yuliya.
She peeked inside and then jumped down.
It wasn’t deep—it was just a corridor.
After walking about ten meters along the corridor, she spotted a room.
The room was spacious, and at first glance, aside from a small box in the middle, there was nothing else.
But upon closer inspection, it appeared that there was some kind of magical array on the ground, with the small box sitting right in the center.
The magical array was incomprehensible, with some bizarre patterns; Yuliya didn’t dare step lightly.
So, she waved her hand.
Whatever kind of magical array it is, nothing bad will happen as long as I don’t step on it. I’ll just grab the box in the middle.
Yet, to her surprise, the box didn’t budge.
“Eh?”
She glanced at her empty right hand, gritted her teeth, and put some muscle into it!
“Come to me… NOW!”
With a pop, the box finally flew over to her.
“Alright, alright, let me see what treasure you’re hiding; you’re so well sealed.”
Yuliya opened the box and quickly focused her gaze.
A face was staring back from inside—a face with black eyes and a gaping mouth.
“Holy moly!”
She panicked and tossed the box, face and all, across the room.
The face flew out, separating from the box, revealing its true form.
It wasn’t a face; it was a doll.
Yuliya’s reflexes kicked in, and she quickly grabbed the doll back into her hands.
【Item Name: Cursed Doll (Equipment Accessory)
Item Rarity: Purple Epic
Item Description: A cursed doll made by an unknown entity, continuously curses the wearer, draining their health. When the holder receives lethal damage, the doll acts as a buffer. Durability (1/1).】
“This… is a lifesaver artifact!!”
Isn’t this basically a get-out-of-jail-free card? Sure, it has some annoying side effects, but just being able to save one life is enough!
As long as I equip it, the side effects won’t trigger, and when I feel I’m about to bite the dust, I can slap it on—easy peasy bl**d-locking!
“What a steal! Good thing I’m a bit obsessive—can’t stand that 99%. With something so great hidden here, no wonder it was so secretive.”
Yuliya put the cursed doll into her backpack, checked the map, and saw that Withered Wood Village’s exploration level was now 100%.
Perfection!
Yuliya retraced her steps back to the surface.
Using the map, she picked a direction to head in.
The villagers of Withered Wood Village became like this after heading to the city, so there must be secrets hidden in the city.
The nearest city on the map was Black Raven City.
Yuliya decided to check it out.
In the official commentary live room, the perspective stayed glued to “Wind God.”
Wang Xixi: “Wind God has begun exploring the village. Just like we’ve mentioned, the biggest highlight of the Otherworld game is its realism and fluidity. The developers have put tremendous effort into the background and environment.”
“I wonder if you two have delved into this aspect. Personally, I’m quite interested in the game’s backstory; I’ve looked into a lot about the Jade Emperor Kingdom’s lore.”
Ai Kun: “Of course, we need to explore it, but the information we’ve gathered is quite limited. Even the data collected by players specialized in lore is sparse.”
Little Moon: “I’m also interested in the background, but I’m more curious about the specific characters’ backstories.”
Wang Xixi: “Hahaha… good point. We see Wind God exploring the village, but it seems he hasn’t found much.”
“He’s now entered a special house. He’s… gasp! Can you really read books like that? If our real-world archaeologists could learn this technique, it would be a massive boost. What a pity we can’t.”
Ai Kun: “Does Wind God understand this? I can’t even decipher a single punctuation mark!”
Wang Xixi: “This structure looks Latin-based; I’m not an expert, just taking a wild guess.”
Little Moon: “After all, this was co-developed by the five Rational States, maybe this part was handled by the O continent side.”
Ai Kun: “But Wind God seems to understand it?”
Little Moon: “That’s unlikely; he’s probably just putting on a show.”
Does she even know his language skills?
“Alright! Wind God is in trouble! He’s surrounded! What’s he going to do?! This is his limitless path! One almighty assault! And then… he took them out in seconds?”
“Uh… seconds.”
“Yeah, seconds.”
Wang Xixi: “Wind God is indeed powerful! Facing a hundred enemies’ siege, he remains unfazed, brandishing his sword like a boss!”
“His sword energy stretches thousands of miles, one sweep chills nineteen states! With that one strike, he shattered the dreary night and racked up another huge wave of points.”
Ai Kun: “I know Wind God is strong, but I didn’t expect him to be this strong. One stick took out hundreds of enemies! Truly, everything can become a sword! Little Moon, what do you think about this skill?”
Xu Xiaoyue was also at a loss.
What could she think about? Just sitting back and watching.
“Still that old saying, the skill system in Otherworld is too vast for us to appreciate, it’s a real treat.”
Wang Xixi: “Absolutely. The original Gungnir spear belongs to the Western mythology system, the Buddha’s Palm is from Buddhism, and now this move obviously belongs to Eastern sword intent.”
Ai Kun: “And don’t forget the Kunyuan school’s Iron Mountain Approach!”
“Oh? Our Wind God has made a new discovery—it’s the cursed doll!”
“Surprisingly, it’s a cursed doll that can take a hit for you! Not only does Wind God have a divine gear setup, but he can also swap an accessory slot for the famous blade, d*ath’s Command!”
