The bright sword light cut through a full 10 demon guard patrols in an instant, and 10 blood-red damage numbers flew up at the same time. They were connected in a neat row, which was a spectacle!
The number of effective targets struck by the Holy Power Judgment once again set a new record!
However, these level 25 demon guard patrols were not instantly killed on the spot. Their health bars were obviously much thicker than those demon players that Su Yang had killed before.
call!
The demon guard patrolman who bore the brunt still slashed down fiercely with the battle ax raised high.
Bang!
Zhao Xi blocked the counterattack of the demon guard patrol with his war shield, and the Blade of Destiny swung up. The extremely sharp tip of the blade slashed across the latter's chest and abdomen, and immediately drew a long line.
scars.
-75!
-387!
The former damage number belongs to Zhao Xi, and the latter one belongs to the Demon Guard Patrol.
The strength of his attack was not very strong, so the damage caused was obviously not as good as the Holy Power Judgment just now, but the demon guard patrol fell to the ground as blood spurted out from his chest!
The system prompt for gaining experience flashed past Zhao Xi's vision.
kill!
He strode forward and took the lead in getting into the middle of more Demon Guard patrols before they could attack them. The Shield of Destiny then slammed forward!
Bang!
Shield Bash, Wildhammer Wrath!
After being promoted to the Knight of Thorns, Zhao Xi's strength attribute has been greatly enhanced, and the Wrath of the Wildhammer cast with the help of the shield attack has greatly increased in power. The Demon Guard patrolman who was hit head-on by the battle shield was directly shot away.
He also knocked the two companions behind him to the ground.
-20!
After a successful blow, Zhao Xi immediately withdrew his battle shield, shifted his body with his steps, and the Blade of Destiny in his hand brought out a bright cold light, and passed through the throat of a Demon Guard patrolman extremely quickly!
Poof!
-503!
The Demon Guard patrolman whirled and fell to the ground, and the battle ax he had just raised hit the bricks on the ground heavily, making a low roar.
But this is just the beginning of the killing, not the end!
Phew! Phew!
Two battle axes slashed at him from the left and right at the same time.
Zhao Xi suddenly stopped and took a small step back. The ax blade struck down less than half an inch away from his chest. However, it did not hurt him at all!
Without waiting for the two demon guard patrols to raise their battle axes again, Zhao Xi swung his battle blade forward like lightning. Thousands of extremely sharp blades swayed out, putting all the remaining demons and monsters at risk.
Within strike range.
Holy Blade Storm!
Holy Blade Storm (Elementary). Holy skill. Consumes 100 points of holy power. Attacks all targets within a 5-meter radius, holy damage +50, and skill cooldown time is 300 seconds!
Just now, Zhao Xi, between advancing and retreating, attracted all the Demon Guard patrols to close range, in order to fully unleash the power of this advanced skill.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Along with a blood-curdling tearing sound, the eight Demon Guard patrols were hit by several or even dozens of blades, and the same damage figures were shot up again.
-415!-415!-415!……
In a wailing sound full of despair and pain, the eight demon guard patrols fell together.
In Zhao Xi's field of vision, the experience prompts flashed across the screen instantly!
Too weak!
He smacked his lips before he finished speaking and put away his weapon.
For Zhao Xi, this kind of battle was not even a warm-up. It ended too quickly, and he could barely move his hands and feet. The feeling of fighting was gone as soon as it started. It was really not very enjoyable.
However, he did not forget his mission and walked forward to the first cell.
There was a gorilla-like monster imprisoned in this cell. When it saw Zhao Xi, it immediately roared and got up from the dirty ground, suddenly threw itself on the fence, and died with its furry hands.
He grabbed hold of the thick and long metal cylinder and shook it desperately.
However, I don’t know what materials these metal fences are made of. No matter how hard they are applied, they will not move at all. They look ferocious with their fangs exposed, but they do not pose any threat to Zhao Xi.
???
Completely out of curiosity, Zhao Xi cast an Insight at it, but the information returned was a string of question marks.
Zhao Xi had no time to study the origin of this monster. He continued to move forward, looking for the captured knight.
In the entire dungeon, there are thirty sturdy cells, in which are held all kinds of strange guys, some with human faces and animal bodies, some with animal heads and human bodies, some with a tail and more than a dozen tentacles, as if they were...
An exhibition hall for alien space creatures was opened.
But in the last two cells, Zhao Xi finally saw normal things.
The cell on the left holds a green-skinned goblin. It looks very old. It is sitting on the ground with its back against the wall. It is sick and has no energy. It is very indifferent to Zhao Xi's appearance.
In the cell on the right, Zhao Xi finally found the target of his mission—the missing level 33 holy knight Okleto!
This supposedly majestic holy knight is now in a miserable state. His armor has been stripped off, and he is only wearing a linen shirt, and is covered in blood and scars. He should be lying on the ground in a coma.
Because if he is dead, Zhao Xi cannot use insight to see the basic information of this NPC.
It's just that although Okleto was not dead, the door of the cell where he was held was locked, and a huge copper lock with animal patterns was firmly stuck on the door rail. It was obviously impossible to open it with bare hands without a key.
Clang!
Zhao Xi swung the Blade of Destiny and slashed it directly. As a result, the blade hit the chain and exploded with sparks, leaving only a shallow mark on the surface of the chain.
Trouble!
Zhao Xi knew very well that this was the rule of the system. Even if his power was ten times stronger, he could not open the cell and rescue Okleto without meeting the conditions.
Retreating immediately seems to be the wisest choice.
The reason is very simple. Zhao Xi doesn't know where to find the key to open the door, and maybe the demons who control this place have discovered his arrival, and new dangers will appear at any time.
The most important thing is that he has obtained accurate information about the reserve knight team. As long as he returns to Locke Fortress, the mission will be completed and 5,000 merit points will be obtained!
Going back would be even easier. He carries a city return scroll with him. As long as he opens it and waits for 30 seconds, he can instantly return to the safety of the city.
Time waits for no one, Zhao Xi knows that he cannot hesitate, otherwise once the demons or more demon guard patrols appear, it will not be so easy for him to escape!
To go or not to go?
This seemingly easy choice made Zhao Xi feel embarrassed.
It is very simple for him to leave, but the chance of this holy knight surviving is very slim. If he can be rescued back to Locke Fortress, he will definitely get more and richer rewards, and maybe trigger a new mission.
In addition, if he abandons his robe, he will certainly be rewarded, but I am afraid that the Temple of Light, who knows the truth, will no longer have much favorable impressions of him.
Although this is just Zhao Xi's speculation, in the big plot missions, this kind of choice is actually very important. If you make a wrong step, you will be wrong every step of the way. There is no room for any mistakes!
what to do?
"Master Knight!"
At this moment, a timid voice that Zhao Xi was familiar with sounded behind him.
Zhao Xi looked back and found that the goblin Grum had followed him at some point. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What are you doing here?"
The goblin seemed to have mustered up the greatest courage. He pointed to the cell on the left and said, "Master Knight, can you... rescue our clan leader?"
System prompt: Do you want to accept Goblin Grum's mission to save the patriarch?
Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment, never expecting that a random mission could be triggered on this guy.
He only thought for half a second before choosing OK.
Generally speaking, this kind of random mission has good rewards, and Zhao Xi has always made mistakes.
"I can find a way to save your clan leader, but the problem is that I can't open the lock of the cell now."
He asked the goblin: "Do you know where the key can be found?"
