Chapter 348:

When 's gaze fell on the stone, he was gradually attracted by the seeping from its crack.

The blood-red light seemed to respond to his gaze, faintly flickering with a fixed frequency.

Under the illumination of the blood-red light, White's eyes widened as a hint of scarlet appeared in his eyes.

As the red light permeated his eyes, the expression on his face gradually turned sluggish.

It was as if his soul had been beguiled and broken out of its husk…

"White?"

Robert tapped him on the shoulder, but when he found that White didn't react, he couldn't help putting more strength in his hand.

"White!"

"Yes!"

White suddenly broke out of his daze. His muscles tensed in an instant, the red light in the depths of his eyes subsequently receding.

But the strange and mysterious light was still flickering through the crack of the round stone.

Struck by a sudden realization, White's expression abruptly changed. "Don't stare at it, there's something wrong with that blood-red light!"

Robert, who had just turned towards the stone, quickly looked away and cautiously asked, "What's wrong with it?"

"He should've been bewitched."

looked up and glanced at them, and then turned back to look at the stone.

She was also gazing at the stone, but she wasn't bewitched.

This made her think that White was bewitched because his willpower wasn't strong enough.

In her impression, White was indeed a person with a weak willpower—after all, he didn't even have the will to persevere in studying.

So it was understandable for her to come to this conclusion.

But White himself didn't think so.

He tore his gaze away, feeling rather apprehensive.

Emma continued to observe the stone. She then summoned her [Phantom Magic Beast: Otter(水獭)] and said, "Go, see if there's any danger."

Otter raised its nose and sniffed around, then got on all fours and scurried towards the half a person tall stone.

When it got close to the stone, it suddenly stopped and cried out a few times before taking two more steps forward, stretching out its paws to poke at the stone.

Seeing no reaction from the stone, it became a little bolder and gave it a couple of hard slaps with its paws.

There was still no reaction from the stone.

Thus, under Emma's command, Otter came in front of the round stone and hurled a strong kick into the crack!

Due to this kick, the red light emitting from the crack visibly trembled.

"It's a living thing!" Emma said, convinced.

"There are many monsters of such type in the dungeon. They'll disguise themselves as harmless creatures or objects to lure people into coming close before suddenly launching a sneak attack on them. This stone can even emit a light that bewitches people, it probably belongs to this type of monster."

Both White and Robert were listening carefully, but after White listened to it, he felt that there was something wrong with Emma's analysis.

But his knowledge was very limited, and he couldn't even express his doubts about it.

In the end, he could only say, "Since it's a monster in disguise, how about we just smash it here? It may be a good hunting target."

Emma shook her head. "This stone probably got here because it fell out of the hidden rift. Let's wait for Dark and the others to come, the hidden rift should've been solved by them."

"You're right," White replied in regret.

But Robert suddenly chipped in, "Then what if Dark's team didn't come back?"

Emma wordlessly shot him a glance.

White thought about it and said, "If they don't come back, then we'll attack it. After we get the material, we'll share it with them... or let's just give it to them. Consider it as our repayment."

Robert couldn't help agreeing, "That's a good idea."

Hearing this, Emma felt that these two weren't actually that bad.

"Wait!" White suddenly said, "If that's the case, won't it be okay for us to attack it right now? Once we deal with it, we can just give the material to them."

Robert's eyes immediately lit up. "If it's really the type of monster Emma said it was, its actual power generally won't be that strong. Maybe we can deal with it?"

Emma: "......"

……

Once this idea popped out, they couldn't hold back anymore.

White and Robert looked at each other and immediately started to get ready.

The two of them had long felt terribly defeated during their escape.

Especially White—not only was he thoroughly disgraced, he was even swallowed by that tentacle!

Although the mucus on his body had dried up, the lingering sour smell refused to go away.

It was just that Emma was more rational than she was emotional. Had it been another girl, she would have long distanced herself away from him.

In addition, from the bottom of his heart, White didn't want to owe any more favor to Dark.

Under such circumstances, how could he give up this opportunity to prove himself?

Emma wasn't the kind of girl who would prattle non-stop. Once the thing she said wasn't taken seriously, she wouldn't repeat it again.

"Anyway, with the [] in hand, the worst kind of outcome can be avoided."

Thinking so, Emma tightly squeezed the magic card in her hand and called [Phantom Magic Beast: Otter] back.

Otter returned to her side and obediently sat down.

Meanwhile, White and Robert had started to act.

Because White's [Troll] had yet to recover and his [Holy Sword] was still on its CD time, the strongest magical spirit in his deck was [].

And as for Robert, among his 3-star magical spirits, only [Mother Blood Bat] left by Vlad was considerably decent.

So after a short communication, the two respectively summoned their magical spirits!

Radiant Python, with its elegant bearing and snow white body, took shape under the white light and let out a "hissing" sound towards the round stone.

[Mother Blood Bat], whom Robert spent more time and magic energy to summon, was a giant bat with scarlet eyes.

As the name implied, [Mother Blood Bat] was the mother of Blood Bats.

Its ultimate was [Bloodborne Explosion (血源自爆)]!

After attacking the enemy by exploding itself, it could then transform into multiple Blood Bats.

As for the number of Blood Bats it could transform into, this was related to the quality of blood it absorbed prior to using the ultimate.

Every Blood Bat born out of this process could be regarded as a 1-star magical spirit, and a corresponding number of Blood Bats could be sacrificed to summon a "blood-type" magical spirit of the corresponding star ranking.

Using this principle, Vlad the Vampire previously performed a sacrificial summoning of the 5-star magical spirit—[Blood Beast].

Afterwards, using his own blood as a guide, he was able to sacrifice [Blood Beast] upon nightfall to activate the arcana force card and do a Ritual Summon for [Vampire Count]!

Currently, Robert couldn't, and didn't have enough magic energy to activate the arcana force card, so the most he could do was to summon the 5-star magical spirit [Blood Beast] through tribute summoning.

This was his greatest trump card at the moment.

But of course, there was no need for him to summon [Blood Beast] at this time.
