Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 336: Triple Baptism

"I knew you would come."

Kazematsu Mikan didn't have to wait too long, and Iin and the others arrived as promised.

"It's too late to turn back now."

Kazematsu Mikan smiled cunningly. In all the years she had lived, she had seen too many people who gave up halfway or indulged in depravity.

But these people in front of him... Feng Ji Meikan knew that if it were them, they might really be able to lend him a helping hand.

"Then go ahead."

Baihu spoke first, "As you said, let's step into the abyss and into the city of the dead."

.

? ? Time ? ? Moment ? ?

I don’t know what kind of magic Kazematsu Mikan cast, maybe she is really an amazing magician as she said.

"I have to warn you in advance. For a while now, you'd better put aside your previous thoughts. The only thing you can rely on is your monster partner and your inner courage."

After Kazamatsuri Mikan finished speaking, Iin felt that the scene in front of him gradually became clearer.

Stretching before his eyes was a magnificent waterfall.

"What is this? We were clearly at the circus before..."

Yiyin bit her nails in disbelief.

“(At this point, there’s no turning back.)”

Xuanwu appeared very calm. She rushed straight towards the waterfall like a warrior determined to die.

"Xuanwu-senpai!"

Yiyin was shocked and wanted to reach out to grab Xuanwu's sleeve, but was stopped by Fengjie Meikan.

"This is your first baptism. After training in the waterfall, it will remove the aura of the living from you."

"I've never heard of such a rule..."

Yiyin muttered softly.

"Is this your monster's ability or...?"

"Alas, if you doubt someone, don't employ him; if you employ someone, don't doubt him. Since we have chosen to work with her, we should trust her."

Baihu patted Yiyin's shoulder, and after explaining his forgiveness, he followed Xuanwu into the waterfall.

Yiyin followed closely behind. The seemingly raging waterfall actually did not cause him any harm.

There was just one thing: when crossing the waterfall, Yiyin felt a sense of déjà vu.

He had been temporarily locked out of his power-up due to failing to complete a side quest. The current situation was somewhat similar to that time; Yiyin only felt that his excess power-up levels had been cleared.

Although he may not have performed much, Yiyin is indeed a time traveler with both strength and speed.

In this situation, his attribute advantages cannot be fully reflected, especially since he may have to enter a completely unknown place like the City of the Undead in the future.

Baihu and Xuanwu had similar feelings, and judging from the expressions on their faces, they must have been confused as well.

After passing the waterfall, there is a gorgeous space filled with all kinds of charming flowers.

"Wheat fields..."

Baihu was actually a little stunned for a moment. "No matter what, there can't be a wheat field behind the waterfall."

"This flower doesn't look like a Midori, nor does it look like a Misara flower..."

Yi Yin racked his brains but couldn't tell what kind of flowers they were. His flower arranging skills were extremely poor.

"Just keep walking."

Kazesai Mikan said inappropriately, "These flowers will hinder your progress and isolate you here. If you are not determined, you cannot cross it."

"Heh... We've all lost our own attributes, what else do you want us to lose?"

Yi Yin was somewhat unconcerned. With the system at his disposal, he assumed everything could be observed at the data level, and his own 'determination' was no exception.

Everyone walked over as usual, but this time, their steps were unusually slow.

The flower seemed to have a lot of magic and an irresistible temptation that made them want to stop and linger.

How long had it been since I had the chance to appreciate a wildflower in full bloom? Some flowers, even in the deepest valleys, never showed any self-pity. For these flowers, I felt I should show some respect.

Is this really good?

Yi Yin couldn't help but be shocked by his own thoughts. It seemed that this was some kind of mental attack, which Yi Yin had encountered many times before.

In short, although the movement was slow, everyone finally managed to cross the wheat field safely.

Only the last of the "triple baptism" that Kazesami Mikan mentioned remains.

As long as you complete these final preparations, you can directly step into the City of the Dead.

Passing through the wheat fields, the scenery suddenly changed again.

In front of everyone was a shaky bridge, as if it might collapse at any time.

Under the bridge was a rushing green, unknown liquid. Just by looking with the naked eye, one could tell that this was definitely not harmless sweet water.

What Kazamatsuri Mikan said was true, their lives could really be in danger.

But...he died on the way before reaching the City of the Dead - if this got out, it would be so hilarious.

"As you can see, across this suspension bridge lies the City of the Dead."

Kazematsu Mikan said, "As you've all felt along the way, your bodies are gradually adapting to becoming hollow. Once you complete this final step, you'll be able to truly communicate with the spirits of the dead."

As he spoke, Kazematsu Mikan held the brim of his hat and stepped over with light steps, setting a good example for them.

"This is going to be difficult."

Baihu tilted his head, "Xuanwu is a little afraid of heights..."

"I can see it."

Yiyin answered truthfully. At this moment, Xuanwu's face was emerald green, just like a big turtle.

"(Yiyin, please hold my hand. If I fall, you can help me up quickly.)"

"Okay, but isn't it okay to let Baihu-senpai lead you?"

"Oh? Yiyin, it would be better if you could do it. After all, you guys are going to upgrade the exhibition together."

After Baihu finished speaking, she rushed over. She didn't seem to be afraid of heights.

Xuanwu held Yiyin's hand tightly and moved slowly step by step.

The suspension bridge where the two people were walking became even more shaky, as if it would collapse at any time.

Yiyin had to bear the weight of two people at the same time, and he felt his heart beating very rapidly. He could even feel Xuanwu's heartbeat also accelerated.

"This is what's called the 'suspension bridge effect'."

Yi Yin thought to herself, "But will this help strengthen the rapport between me and Senior Xuanwu?"

"It'll be useful."

"?"

Yi Yin felt like he was hallucinating. He actually heard the Green Turtle's inner voice! It seemed that the "suspension bridge effect" was more effective than he had imagined.

"Little Green? Great, I can hear your voice even though you are in the Diamond Card Number One."

"Maybe it's because there are so many souls here."

The green-haired turtle's voice was quite lazily. "Our fates are one. Your life is my life, and my life is your life. It is foreseeable that we may soon usher in a new upgrade."
