Chapter 245

It seemed that something terrible would happen to her.

That indescribable and elusive feeling made Athena feel terrified.

Since the last time, she compared Qin Chu and Jello in her heart, and finally came to the conclusion that Jello was not as good as Qin Chu, and even began to question her feelings for Jello, although Athena has been deepening the traces of her deep love for Jello in her heart, a looming uneasiness still shrouds Athena's heart.

Athena even really had the urge to turn around and leave, but she held back, because here was a fragment of Jello's soul.

Qin Chu, Jello, the figures of the two men swayed in her mind.

Athena felt ashamed of her chaotic feelings and felt that she was a shameless woman.

But this time, as long as she could successfully get Jello's soul fragment, she would definitely be able to firm up her feelings, she would definitely be able to do it.

Taking a deep breath, Athena's eyes became firm again, and she raised her jade feet again and walked forward.

A long string of footprints left behind quickly disappeared under the cover of wind and snow.

After a long time, Athena finally found a cave on the side of a mountain.

Her chestnut eyes flashed with joy, and Athena sped up and flew towards the cave.

Huff... Huff... Huff...

As soon as she reached the entrance of the cave, Athena immediately felt a heavy, beast-like panting sound coming from inside the cave.

There is life in the cave, could it be Muse?

Athena, alert, strengthened the magic shield around her, and then spoke: "Muse? Are you in there?"

In the wind and snow, Athena's crisp voice spread and echoed in the cave.

Huff... Huff... Huff...

In response to Athena, there was no difference in the panting sound just now, which made Athena frown. Did Muse fall asleep?

After a brief hesitation, Athena took a step and stepped into the cave. As soon as she got in, Athena subconsciously raised her little hand to cover her nose.

What a terrible smell.

It was a mixture of stench and decay.

Decay? Can anything decay in a place like this?

The magic wand in her hand waved gently, and a fireball the size of a human head emerged and flew into the cave under Athena's control.

The fire dispelled the darkness in the cave, and some footprints could be clearly seen on the ground. It was obvious that there were humans here not long ago.

The fireball went deeper and deeper, and Athena chased the light of the fireball, her long legs intertwined, and she moved forward step by step.

This cave is very deep.

After several minutes, Athena suddenly controlled the fireball to return.

The fireball moved too fast. Just after the firelight passed, Athena realized that there seemed to be a shadow curled up in the corner of the mountain wall.

When the light shone again, the first thing that came into view was a bright cold light, which was a huge axe.

As a member of the brave team, Athena was very familiar with it. That was the weapon of Muse. That guy was really here.

As the light continued to go down, Athena finally saw clearly that a figure was curled up at the foot of the mountain, sleeping soundly, and the snoring sound came from this guy.

As soon as she saw the messy hair that looked like a bird's nest, Athena immediately knew the identity of this guy. Who else could it be but Muse?

This guy, is he really sleeping?

Athena had a layer of black lines on her forehead.

Rubbing her forehead speechlessly, Athena spoke again: "Muse, I'm here, don't sleep."

Muse was still sleeping soundly, with no intention of waking up at all.

Athena really had no choice but to step on her sexy black high heels and walk towards Muse with a clacking sound. She bent her waist slightly and reached out to pat Muse's shoulder: "Hey, don't sleep...ah..."

Just when Athena's fingers had not touched Muse's shoulder, she seemed to have suddenly discovered something terrifying, and she screamed from her mouth, her body retreated, and her face was extremely pale.

Chapter 5 is here. Please vote for me and give me your monthly votes.

Chapter 291 Athena's Anxiety (1)

Ah!

Athena's screams were still echoing in the cave.

Even with Athena's strength and temperament, she was startled when she suddenly saw Muse's current appearance. She quickly stepped back a long way until her smooth back touched the cold stone wall.

Athena even suspected that she had seen him wrong. If it weren't for the axe next to her and the messy bird's nest hairstyle, Athena would definitely think she had seen the wrong person.

Muse is a madman.

That's how he got the name of a madman. His face was always dark and red, but now it was pale and dark blue, especially his lips, which had almost turned black and purple.

If it were just this, Athena would be shocked but not terrified. What really scared her was the things on Muse's skin.

His face was covered with blisters, some small like sesame seeds, some big like peanuts, like a honeycomb covering his entire face without leaving any gaps.

At first glance, Athena felt a strong sense of fear and nausea, and even had goose bumps all over her body.

Still remember what the first-generation hero Zero said about claustrophobia, acute phobia, trypophobia... Could this be the so-called trypophobia, right?

Athena feels that the current appearance of Muse should be completely consistent.

Occasionally, Muse, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to feel some itching on her body and reached out to scratch it.

Crackling...

A large blister burst immediately, and transparent mucus rolled down Muse's skin.

That's why the fishy smell mixed with rotten smell comes from.

Then, it got even more disgusting.

Athena's scalp was numb. She never imagined that Muse would become like this.

The relationship with Muse was normal. Although they were both members of the Brave Team, it was limited to that. Now the appearance of Muse made Athena subconsciously want to stay away. The further away from this guy, the better.

By the way, what happened to Muse?

are you sick?

Holding back the nausea in her heart, Athena flicked a small fireball and hit the back of Muse's hand, directly burning several blisters.

The sleeping Muse seemed to be stimulated by the stinging pain of the flames. She turned over, sat up, and stretched out her right hand toward the battle ax beside her.

Although he looked sick and his body was shaking slightly, Muse's fighting consciousness seemed to be imprinted on his bones and would never disappear. This man was ready to fight almost immediately.

The slightly swaying body still showed the bravery of a beast.

It wasn't until he saw Athena across from him that Muse released his hand from the ax handle: "Athena, it turns out it's you, you're finally here...cough...cough..."

Muse spoke.

Athena was also surprised by the sound of his voice. His voice was dry and cracked, as if something was blocked in his throat, and he huffed and puffed when he spoke.

As soon as he said a few words, he immediately began to cough violently, and a mouthful of dark phlegm sprayed into the corner of the wall.

Athena became even more disgusted and barely suppressed the furry fear in her chest: "Muse, are you sick?"

Muse reluctantly opened her lips and smiled bitterly: "Recently... I seem to be feeling a little uncomfortable... Damn it... I guess I have a cold."

"I keep getting blisters on my body, so I have to go to the church for treatment later."

Those were not blisters. When Muse stood up unsteadily, there was almost no difference between her bare upper body and her face, which were all filled with dense blisters.

Is this a skin disease?

I have never heard of any skin disease being so serious.

"We'd better get things done quickly and leave this hellish place." Muse said breathlessly.

The once crazy fighting spirit has become so weak now, and there is still the invincible bravery and fury to fight among the monsters.

"Although my healing skills are not as good as those of the church...but I'd better treat you first. Maybe it will make you feel better." Athena said.

"Really? Thank you then." Muse did not refuse, although he did not want to see Athena either. However, if Athena could treat herself and relieve the itching and pain on her body, Muse would not refuse.

Athena's face was still a little pale, and the inexplicable fear and bad premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger.

She is very upset!

After calming down, he waved the magic wand gently in his hand, and a hydrotherapy spell enveloped the muse.

Hydrotherapy is just an intermediate water magic.

It is also one of the few water magics that can heal injuries.

Of course, it can only treat injuries but not diseases, but it is somewhat effective. At least it can heal the scratched skin on Muse's body.

As for curing diseases, the Holy Holy See's Holy Light Technique has a certain effect, and the Earth Mother Goddess Cult also has many professional magic potions in this regard.

After a brief hesitation, Athena opened another scroll of Holy Light, and the hazy light enveloped the Muse.

Muse's voice recovered a little, no longer huffing and puffing like before, and the blisters on her body seemed to have shrunk a bit, not as dense as before.

After the dual treatment of hydrotherapy and holy light, Muse was not cured but still improved a lot. If his disease is to be completely cured, he may need to go to the Holy See to receive more advanced healing magic, or in other words, to receive more advanced healing magic from the Mother Earth. Teach you how to prepare the right potion.

Although Athena took away a lot of magic potions from the Earth Mother Cult, she didn't know exactly what kind of disease Muse had, and potions were not something that could be used casually.

Muse grabbed the handle of the ax and swung it twice casually. The ax blade made a whirring sound as it tore through the cold air, and his strength seemed to have recovered a lot.

An excited smile appeared on his face: "Athena, thank you!"

Although I don't like Athena very much, this thank you can be said to be sincere.

After a brief pause, Muse continued: "No, that's the secret room over there... That damn magic seal blocked the door. I really can't open it and I can't destroy it violently."

Muse pouted not far ahead, and Athena controlled the fireball to fly over there. Once a dark purple barrier appeared in front of Athena.

It seems that it is the so-called magic seal.

Taking a deep breath, Athena walked over there. She also wanted to break the magic restriction as soon as possible, take away the pieces of Jero's soul and leave this ghost place. Although there was no one else in this place except Muse, the inexplicable and gloomy feeling of fear always shrouded Athena's heart.

Muse's condition improved a bit but she still had an unbearable stench, so Athena kept the magic barrier intact.

Bah...bah...

When approaching the magic restriction in the cave, there was a sudden faint fluctuation on the magic barrier, as if something collided with it and was burned by the scorching flames.

This weird situation made Athena frown instantly, and her vigilance increased a little bit.

"How can it be possible? Can you untie it?" the muse behind him urged.

Muse couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't wait to leave this place.

But Athena did not rush to break the magic restriction immediately, but looked inside first...

The stone slab was engraved with densely packed small words, and there were black and corroded pits on it. It was obvious that he had endured great pain before his death, and the fragments of Jero's soul were made into rings on the finger bones.

The dark red blood of an unknown creature was contained in a glass bottle.

Weird skull…

Metal utensils with incomprehensible runes painted on them.

Weird clay pot... Inside the clay pot, there are tiny black worms that are constantly squirming.

The stench of putrefaction hung in the air.

Anyone can feel something is wrong with the weird scenes in the secret room. Was that remains an alchemist when he was alive? Or is he a magician who is proficient in potions?

But whether it's an alchemist or a magician, the materials in this secret room seem a little too weird.

Especially the tiny, squirming black bugs in the clay pot... How many years has this secret room existed? Even the remains are only bones, and the flesh and blood have completely rotted, but those bugs can still survive?

There seemed to be a lot of strange things in the pottery pot. Under the squirming black worms, you could vaguely feel some twisted mist coming out of the mouth of the pottery pot from time to time.

It always felt like the weird items in this secret room attracted Athena's attention even more than Jero's soul fragments.

"Athena, what are you doing standing still? Hurry up and release the magic restriction."

Seeing Athena standing there motionless, Muse became a little impatient. What is this woman doing?

Under the urging of the Muse, Athena's consciousness finally returned. After calming down and suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, Athena began to study magic restrictions.

This restriction is not too powerful, but the method is quite clever. The restriction on the entrance is connected to the mechanism inside the secret room. It can be considered that Muse has some sense and does not directly use violent means to destroy it. Once the entrance is destroyed by violence, the room will be implicated and eventually trigger a series of explosions. , directly blowing up the secret room completely.

By that time, even Zero's soul fragments might be blown up directly.
