Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Soon, without Leo noticing the passage of time, another 2 days silently pass by.

The pitch-black water beneath already had long been disturbed as the wavering figure of Leo could be seen carefully stepping forward—creating a wave of 1 foot that hurriedly spread around, creating an oceanic sound before hitting the dark stone nearby.

It could be said that after Leo's figure continued to advance in the direction of the pavilion, enlarging the distance between him and the enraged beasts outside...

The pressure that they formed in order to increase the weight his physique was bearing already vanished into thin air, instantly relieving his body from the unnecessary weight.

With that, his speed increased considerably, allowing his figure to traverse the damp land with a swift speed... Making the time in order for him to reach the pavilion decrease by a huge amount!

"The pavilion was already within my touch! I hope that there's no longer pressure pressing my pathetic body after entering the pavilion!"

Right now, Leo was already staring at the pavilion meters away from him with pure excitement written in his eyes.

Even though he still hadn't entered the rotting pavilion in front of him, Leo could already feel the longing and desire within his soul, a sign that there was something good inside that could greatly boost his soul strength.

Ding!

+1 Strength!

"The speed of the tempering of my physique already slowed down; I could only gain 1 increase in my strength every three hours."

Gazing at his strength attribute, which had a noticeable increase of 27 points in the past few days, Leo couldn't help but unfold a weak smile on his face... Raising his right foot with great difficulty afterward before stepping toward the entrance of the pavilion.

Boom!

In an instant, after his feet touched the dark stone in his front, the heavy pressure, which caused him discomfort in the past days, suddenly vanished into thin air...

Causing Leo's figure, which was unable to react to the sudden dissipation of the pressure, to hurl toward the stone wall in the distance... Heavily hitting the wall afterward due to his being unable to control his strength in time.

Ughh!

Pain transmitted to his mind as he couldn't help but touch his head with a grimace... only for his eyes to widen in astonishment in the next second as he could feel a small swelling within his head.

"This?!"

With eyes filled with shock and confusion, Leo couldn't help but stare at the stone wall in front of him in silence, unable to believe that there was no sign of dent or destruction on its rough surface.

It could be said that with his current physique, only materials above the elite grade could withstand his accidental outburst without suffering any damage!

Just staring at the large wall in front of him that extends toward the far distance... Even with his superior senses, he couldn't see its end; Leo couldn't help but gulp instinctively.

In an instant, he felt his throat drying in pure amazement as his mind couldn't help but compute how much earth gold was needed in order to build this rotting pavilion.

"If I unearthed this wall and placed it toward my bland cemetery, the defense of the place would surely increase by folds!"

"At most, no mortal beast could enter the area of my plantation without being noticed!"

However, thinking how large the stone wall in front of him was and how limited the space of the system was, Leo reluctantly abandoned that thought, causing him to heave a sign of regret due to his lack of skill.

As for tearing the wall in front of him into pieces before putting them inside his inventory, Leo simply brushed that thought outside his mind.

Not only would it take a long time for him to tear the thick wall in front of him into pieces, but it would also reduce his stamina and spiritual qi by a considerable amount.

With the unknown dangers around him, further spending his stamina and spiritual qi to do something that wouldn't increase his personal strength would be deemed extremely unnecessary—it's best to save it for something unexpected.

Taking a deep breath, retracting his gaze toward the black wall in front of him, Leo then silently inspects his surroundings.

Swish~

Thick miasma, congealed due to the fusion of a large amount of death qi, drifted within the atmosphere akin to looming clouds—lightly obstructing the scene forward.

The wall that carried an amount of corrosion and decay persisted within the atmosphere, drilling toward the rotting woods on the pavilion in the distance, causing the small vitality they contained to slip under their degraded bark.

Within the tiny gaps of the dark stone, small grasses, similar to the limbs of an octopus, could be often seen secreting a thick mucus, causing the ground near them to be covered by it.

"This plant?!"

Feeling the strangeness of them, as he could sense that they carried an amount of soul within their existence—a testament that they carried basic consciousness within their being—Leo couldn't help but unfold a shocked expression on his face.

First time seeing real living plants (as for the living plants within the system shop, Leo still hadn't bought one).

Leo, without further ado, immediately cast his soul scan toward the spiritual plants near him, wanting to glean their mysterious existence.

Ding!

[ Vicious Secreting Octopus (Grade 2-Epic): A spiritual plant that mutated due to dense death qi around it, which nourished its existence all year around... Causing it to gain basic consciousness that allowed it to protect itself from its natural enemies.

Effects upon consumption: Drastically increase the Death Qi inside one's body. In addition to that, it also could cause the being who consumed it to slightly glean toward the rules of death, corrosion, and decay.

Note: There's a great chance of death if a being who lacks death affinity consumes it.]

Hiss!

Gasping loudly, Leo's eyes couldn't help but glint with excitement, not expecting that the spiritual plants that were growing within the gaps of the stone, akin to useless grasses that he could normally see growing beside the road, would be a grade-2 spiritual plant!
