I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 182 - 152: Farewell, Teacher_5

After transforming into a Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry, he had no flesh on his body, and coupled with the fact that the Hidden Worm had no teeth, it couldn't inflict any substantial harm on him.

Instead, it gave Rogel an opportunity.

"Lina, do it!"

The Soul Flame in Rogel's eyes flickered.

Several Hands of the Dead Soul rose from the ground, grabbing the body of the Hidden Worm.

Lina hesitated not a bit, took out the Secret Iron Dagger, transformed into a Blood Spirit, and dashed towards the Hidden Worm.

A flash of red light, and the Hidden Worm's blood burst open, revealing its form.

It was slashed into two halves by Lina's attack, yet it was not dead.

Its two separate bodies seemed to become individual entities, emitting sharp cries, quickly staunching the blood, struggling to escape.

But it was too late, Rogel had already torn it off and, under the control of the Hand of the Dead Soul, stabbed down with the Sharp Bone Spear!

With a squelch, the head of the Hidden Worm was pierced through, pinned hard to the ground.

Not done yet, Rogel took out the Armor-Piercing Spear and stabbed again.

Lina also launched another attack to finish it off.

This time, the Hidden Worm was firmly pinned, dark green blood flowing, dying amid its death throes.

[You have killed the Hidden Worm, gaining Combat Experience.]

[You have found Worm Cloak ×1.]

[You have found special Stone Coins ×10.]

[You have found Secret Image Key ×1.]

[You have obtained Land Cave Key, its coordinates recorded, allowing you to teleport here when safe for exploration.]

Receiving the system's prompt, Rogel finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally dead.

If not for the Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry's Talent Ability to a certain extent restraining it, it might not have been so easy to solve.

Besides invisibility and high speed, the Hidden Worm seemed to have the strong vitality of an earthworm.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Lina was puzzled, having never seen a monster like the Hidden Worm before.

Rogel shook his head, the explanation couldn't account for its origin.

So far, he had found two Caves, and the monsters guarding these Caves were not simple, far surpassing common monsters in rarity and strength.

After dealing with the Hidden Worm, the two did not relax, observing cautiously to ensure there was no danger before turning their attention to the statue and stone door ahead.

"Is this the Cave you mentioned?"

Lina peeked behind the stone door.

"There's nothing behind here, how do you get inside?"

Rogel didn't answer immediately; he stepped forward and inserted a key into the keyhole on the Secret Statue.

[Cave Secret Image activated.]

The sealed stone door began to tremble, the two doors opening backwards, revealing a dazzling, twisted Teleportation Gate before Rogel.

"Is there now?"

Rogel gave Lina an inquiring look.

Lina stood by the door, reached through the stone door, waved her hand, then retracted it, shrugging.

"The door is open, but there's nothing there."

It seemed Lina couldn't see the Teleportation Gate.

Maybe it should be said differently, no one except him could see the Teleportation Gate after activation.

Could it be that the Cave beyond this Teleportation Gate was tailor-made for him?

This puzzled Rogel.

Were it merely a game, he wouldn't find anything amiss.

But now, the powers he acquired in this world were fully synchronized with his reality.

"...Then wait for me here for a while, I'll be right back."

Suppressing his doubts, Rogel walked into the Teleportation Gate.

Lina watched as Rogel's figure twisted, finally disappearing behind the empty stone door.

Meanwhile, on Rogel's side.

After a bout of darkness, light began to emerge, albeit incredibly dim.

He found himself in a dilapidated circular altar, surrounded by ruins and withered, unknown plants.

Rogel looked up to see a sky dark as water.

The sound of crows echoed around, and the only remaining campfire looked on the verge of dying.

Before him was a snarling dragon head statue.

[Secret Image—Withered Altar has revived.]

Altar?

After activating the Secret Image, Rogel pondered for a moment, carefully surveying his surroundings, then used the key to leave.

Back at the stone door, Rogel saw Lina close at hand.

"How was it, where did you go?"

Lina couldn't help but ask.

She didn't know what Rogel had seen, but from her perspective, Rogel vanished suddenly and reappeared just as suddenly, very eerie.

"I'll take you there next time and you'll find out."

Rogel smiled.

"By the way, do you want this?"

Rogel took out the Worm Cloak he had obtained earlier.

Just by the name, one could tell it was the skin of a large white worm.

[Worm Cloak]

[Type: Equipment·Extraordinary]

[Quality: Purple]

[Defense: 8/20 (Physics/Magic)]

[Usage Requirements: Tier Extraordinary and above, Spirit 12.]

[Special Effect: Consumes Spiritual Value, grants invisibility effect, and slightly increases Defense during the period.]

[Negative Effect: The Worm Cloak has some vitality and will wriggle unconsciously.]

[Explanation: Wearing it, you will be the most conspicuous large worm in this area!]

Glug glug.

After Rogel brought out the large worm skin, it wriggled twice unconsciously. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Lina frowned, nearly stabbing it with her dagger.

Rogel hurriedly stopped her, explaining that it was the equipment's negative effect.

Honestly, if invisibility wasn't a very useful skill, Rogel would have thrown it into the trash long ago.

After all... who could comfortably accept wearing a moving worm skin?

Even Rogel, a big guy, probably couldn't accept the Worm Cloak.

This negative effect is indeed a bit hard to swallow.

Rogel felt it'd be better if it just directly reduced maximum Life Value.

This thing is a psychological torment!

"I don't want it!"

Lina decisively shook her head, with a look of disgust.

"It's not just ugly, the key is... it moves!"

"Are you sure that worm just now is dead?"

Lina, even in death, couldn't bear to wear such a thing!

No way! Absolutely not!

"It can become invisible, just like that worm's ability."

Rogel spread his hands.

"It's very compatible with your abilities, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you if you wanted it."

Hearing Rogel's words.

The initially resolute Lina hesitated.

The invisibility ability was indeed very compatible with her abilities.

After all, as an assassin, how useful such a capability was to her was beyond question.

Seeing this, Rogel offered it to her again: "You don't have to wear it all the time, just keep it for when you need it. When that time comes, these minor drawbacks will be nothing."

His tone was somewhat helpless.

If circumstances allowed, he would certainly prefer to give Lina equipment that looked better.

But equipment and weapons are different; some Extraordinary Equipment crafting requires not only Blacksmithing Skills but also Artisan Skills, and some even need Tailoring Skills.

Moreover, crafting equipment generally takes longer.

So Rogel couldn't yet provide the crew with impressive and practical Extraordinary Equipment.

"Hold onto it for now, we can swap it for something better-looking when possible."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lina took a deep breath and hesitantly accepted the Worm Cloak.

Feeling the still squirming Worm Cloak in her hands, Lina's hand trembled, goosebumps rising all over.

She hoped she wouldn't have to use this thing for the rest of her life!

"...You'd better hold it for me first."

Lina handed it back to Rogel.

That texture… really too terrifying!
