A few minutes later.
Yi Lin and Oda Mai were done.
The treacherous mimic had transformed into a tentacle monster, chopped into segments, wriggling and retracting on the slimy ground like worms, losing all its former ferocity.
"Let's go!"
No explanation was needed. From the moment the treasure chest "transformed," Oda Mai knew Yi Lin was not there to seize the "Ancient Amulet." She nodded, sheathing her double blades, and followed Yi Lin away from the spot.
The range of the ancient ruins was vast, comparable to a small city.
After shaking off the mobs that came following the noise, Yi Lin and Oda Mai hid in a ruin room with a large hole in the ceiling.
The two sat in the center of the room, back-to-back, on the ground.
This position was deliberate, not just for mutual comfort. Walls provided no real "security guarantee," so they relied on each other. While resting to recover Psychic Points or Physical Strength, they could react instantly to any danger.
