Ch. 53 - Blindness - part 1
Yang Yi cleared his mind of distractions and focused on the enemy in front of him.
It was the Spider Queen, who had just recovered. Although she had lost two of her front legs, it didn't seem to affect her mobility; she could still crawl with the rest.
“I should have just ripped all her legs off. Let’s see how she’d crawl over now…” Yang Yi regretted not doing so.
He made his mind to cripple or kill completely whichever creature he encountered that might be playing dead.
They stood about 20 metres apart, staring each other down.
The situation was very unfavourable for Yang Yi.
His flintlock gun was in cooldown, leaving him with only the Sea Serpent’s Fang as a weapon!
Suddenly, the Spider Queen let out a screech from her crooked, withered head and charged at him like a tank.
Perhaps due to the missing legs, her balance seemed a bit off.
Yang Yi turned and fled, downing the red potion that enhanced his attributes while he ran.
As soon as he drank it, his mouth felt like it was filled with molten lava.
【You have consumed an unknown potion】
【Your body feels hot, sweating heavily. Strength +1, Agility +1, Constitution +1, Perception +1, Sanity -20, effect lasts for 15 minutes.】
The potion’s details became visible.
【Name: Crimson Potion】
【Type: Consumable/Potion/Unique】
【Quality: Premium】
【Description: A potion created by the witch Suna. Tastes fiery, and drinking water during its effect is not advised. Increases all attributes except Spirit by +1, causes excessive sweating and reddening of the skin, lasting 15 minutes. PS: Attributes cannot exceed biological limits. 】
The potion was effective, though unpleasant to drink.
Yang Yi’s sanity dropped to 1, putting him in a state of madness, and combined with the potion's effects, his attributes (except Spirit) were all boosted by +1, making his overall stats as follows:
Strength: 5 + 2 + 1
