The passage beneath the cemetery runs out like the branches of a tree. Everywhere they went, they would see countless intersections that lead to the unknown...
The ck ink liquid beneath them slowly increases, already reaching Leo''s above-heel as he moves toward the unknown direction... Dyeing his feet with ck as it slightly hindered his movement due to its stickiness that stuck to his soles as he moved.
As he entered through another intersection, Leo would immediately carve a symbol within the earth and bones in the surroundings, ensuring that they wouldn''t get lost if they decided to go back...

"The concentration of Qi increases again."
He mumbled under his breath as he could see a dark smoke that roamed within the passage unhindered, moving back and forth unconsciously, tempting their being to absorb it.
"System, what is this?" Leo asks within his brain, unable toprehend the thing in front of him.
Ding!
[ 500 horror points... (ept/Declined)? ]
Ding!
[ The dark smoke is a thick strand of Death Qi, due to its thickness it bes visible to one sight.
Note: Absorbing it would greatly increase the Exp of being below the Core Formation realm, it also has other benefits! ]
Reading the notification that appeared in the corner of his eyes, Leo revealed an excited expression on his face, asking the two silver skeletons behind him to absorb the ck smoke in front as he started circting the Qi within him...
Inhaling arge amount of ck smoke, Leo began manipting them to circte within his body, causing his body to release a hint aura of rot before reverting back to normal in a while...
In the process of healing, the muscles and bones within him also got tempered, making it slightly strongerpared to before!
Soon, after a while, the death Qi eventuallynded in his heart, circting within his body as the heart pumps an amount of it...
Ding!
+500 exp points!
+0.001 Death Affinity!
This, the exp gained is almost equivalent to killing 2te-foundation beasts!
Leo eximed as he gazed at the ck smoke in the distance, showing a hint of greed within his heart as he moved toward it unhindered...
Again circting his cultivation technique as he absorbs them within his body one by one, causing his Qi to boil and increase as time passes by!
Ding!
[ Congrattions upon leveling up to level 10!
+20 Qi Storage!, +5 Qi power!, +6 Soul Power, +2 Speed, +1 Strength!, +5 Health!, +5 Stamina! ]
Soon, after absorbing all the dark smoke in the environment, Leo''s level increases by one, finally reaching the peak of the middle stage as he stands up with a bright smile...
"I finally reached level 10! I could finally learn 3 new skills from my ss job and skill tree!"
Leo thought happily as he continued moving toward the unknown depths of the passage, nning to learn the 3 new skillster after he explored the ce.
However, as he was about to enter one of the passages...
In the corner of the passage, behind one of the forming small mountains of bones, a sudden dark glint appeared in the corner of his eyes, approaching his body at rming speed!
Boom!
Thick death energy suddenly shrouded the ce, corroding the bones in the surrounding area as if they were grazed by acids...
This...
Quickly distancing himself, Leo solemnly stared at the corrosive darkness in front of them before ncing at his burned hands upon being grazed by the unknown smoke.
Scanning toward the ce where he first saw the dark glint earlier... Leo''s eyes couldn''t help but reveal a surprise, not expecting that a beast was living in this kind of ce.
Tens of meters away from him, a ck beast standing on its four limbs was staring at them with reddened eyes...
Its thick tail almost reached 2 meters long swayed toward the void, parting the air with crisp sound as it threatened to part the ground. Under its four limbs, Leo and the skeletons could see the sharp nails of the beast akin to long knives, piercing the skull and bones beneath unhindered...
"This... isn''t this a rat!?''
Leo thought as he stared at the 2-meter-tall ck rat in the distance in surprise. Feeling that it was different from the rats he met in the past (especially the rats he met in the park).
Without further ado, Leo silently cast a soul scan toward it as he exchanged nces with the two skeletons behind him, causing their expression to change in understanding.
Ding!

SQUEAKKK!
Squeaking loudly, the rat charges toward Leo with all fours, greatly angered upon noticing the absence of the ck smoke in the surroundings...
Opening its mouth, the rat revealed its grinding sharp teeth beyond as it spat a disgusting green liquid toward the humanoid beings in the distance.
Seeing this, Leo didn''t panic at all as he summoned a pure ck me of destruction within his left palm... shooting it toward the approaching green liquid with equal speed.
Boom!
Upon collision, a loud booming sound resounded within the cave followed by a disgusting smell/fragrance quickly wafting toward the environment.
Ding!

This... poison!
Leo quickly thought as he covered his nose before distancing himself from the fast-approaching rat...
As he was moving backward, Leo raised his right pointed finger toward the rat, consecutively shooting a fast dark bullet that silently and quickly prated its dark body.
SQUEAAKKK!
Feeling the deep pain within its body, as the dark bullet corroded its within, therge rat rolled toward the ground, twisting its body in unimaginable ways as it released a green fog within its mouth...
Quickly shrouding the ce with toxic gasses.
