(Additional update for the brothers who “don’t get up and love to doze off” [4/5])
The young players are already familiar with the job of rescuing people.
Although there are ghouls and wraiths everywhere in front of you, and you can occasionally see strange skeleton warriors, the assault team composed entirely of black irons doesn't care about you.
The three shield Ts of Niu Niu, Bang Ge and Lan Hua were blocking the front, so that the people behind could safely output. After completing the Black Iron Trial and switching to advanced professions, the psionic masters who had not performed well before finally began to
Lu Zhengrong took the lead, and Big Pigeon used psychic energy to bind and slow down a large area. The two psychic masters in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry summoned a wall of flames and psychic lightning to smash down and burn them down.
There are also burning kerosenes that are constantly thrown out and ignited, making the players look like they are walking through fire.
Even if an elite ghoul occasionally jumps out, he will be called upon by the shooters with more and more deadly bullets. It can be seen that everyone's fighting style is gradually taking shape, and they are cool and happy when they cooperate.
Of course, considering that they are all in the "T1" echelon of players, it is not surprising that they have such strength.
However, the joy of "spawning monsters" did not last long. When they arrived at the imprisoned survivor area, Good Pigeon let out an exclamation:
"Fuck! Isn't this too miserable?"
The other players were silent.
Because it's really miserable.
The gathering area in front of us is located on the edge of the underground river in the cave. There are no buildings at all. It is just a large group of shacks stacked together. The men and women in them all have dull faces, ragged clothes, and their bodies are covered with traces of whipping.
Their thinking seemed to have been "sluggish" by some kind of force, and no one welcomed the players when they came to rescue them. They were like wild beasts hiding in a den, hugging each other and trembling in fear, using frightened expressions.
He looked at the group of heavily armed warriors in front of him.
There were quite a lot of people here, and every shack was packed tightly. Xiao Ashina waved her wings and spun around in the air before reporting back:
"There are probably more than 600 people. I can't count the exact number, but some guys are hung on the pole at the back, as if to punish them. Do you want to save them?"
"save!"
Sister Pomegranate sighed and said:
"That's all. Let's collect everything we owe."
"Ouch."
Ashina pulled out his pistol in the air and fired several shots in the rear, saving the guys hanging on the poles. However, when they landed, they screamed and cursed, leaving the players stunned for a moment.
Are these guys still awake?
Sister Pomegranate quickly spread her wings and glided over, grabbing a woman who was not too dirty but had disheveled hair and "Gryphon" tattooed on her shoulders and arms.
She looked at the other person's weak but clearly awake eyes and asked:
"How many people are here?"
"Who knows."
The rescued woman responded in a very unhappy tone:
"If I hadn't been killed by the Plague King, I would have been here almost all the time, probably around 700 or so? I don't know, I've been tied here for many days, and I feel like I'm about to die. Is there any water? Bread.
Okay, let me have a bite!"
"Cut the nonsense!"
When Sister Pomegranate heard this guy's glib tone, she knew that this woman must not have been in a legitimate industry before. Her tone turned cold and she asked:
"Is there a second way out of here? We have to rescue you."
"Huh? Get out? You can't get out."
The woman turned around and saw several personal guards of the Blood Vulture Clan leader who were waiting in full formation. She recognized the identities of these vampires, and shrank her head knowing that she was in trouble. Her tone was no longer so arrogant, but she sighed and waved her hands weakly.
said:
"The only way out is being watched by several fighting gargoyles under the Rat King. My brothers know that someone on the ground has reestablished order and want to escape, but guess what?
Hey, their bodies were thrown into the hole that night and served as snacks to the monster."
"So there is a way out, right?"
Sister Pomegranate captured the key information.
She took out a few apples from her psychic bag and threw them to the woman. The latter gratefully took a few bites of them in her hand, but did not eat them all. Instead, she threw the rest to the person next to her.
Three people who were as miserable as she was.
Those guys didn't bother to say thank you and started to eat. It was obvious that they were really hungry. They even threw the core of the apple into their mouths, chewed it and swallowed it.
"Who is you?"
This scene made Sister Shiliu have some doubts about the identity of the woman in front of her, so she asked.
The woman rubbed her belly, a miserable smile appeared on her dirty face, probably wanting to express her kindness, but then she curled her lips and said in a waning tone:
"Dorothy, people in the outer city call me 'Razor'. That's what they call me to save face. As for me, it turns out that I am the boss of the Rat Gang. I make a living by doing black market business in the sewers. I turned out to be the bullshit Rat King."
Take away my rights.
He asked me to take care of these poor people, but only gave me a little food every day. It was clear that he wanted me to take the initiative to kill these poor people and send them to him to raise monsters.
Alas, I can’t be cruel, after all, we are all neighbors.”
"So you were hung?"
Brother Bang next to him also looked at the woman in front of him suspiciously. He could feel that the other party might not be telling the truth, but this was not the time to discuss this. He said in a deep voice:
"Take us immediately to the exit guarded by the gargoyles!"
"You really want to take these people out?"
Dorothy looked at these "blood servants" in front of her in surprise, and she murmured in a low voice:
"They were all drugged by the Rat King. They were so ignorant that they didn't know that resistance would be a burden even if they were taken out. In Transia, no one would take risks for these dead people."
"That's what we need to think about."
Good pigeons are kind-hearted and don’t want to see others suffer. When they saw this woman still chattering, they shouted:
"You! Lead the way! Otherwise, you will be executed as an accomplice of that bullshit Rat King!"
"Oh, don't shout, little brother, why don't you let me lead the way?"
Dorothy stood up weakly and said worriedly:
"But the gargoyles over there are very powerful, much more powerful than the ones used by vampires. It is said that they are combat models brought back by the Rat King from other places. I'm afraid you guys are a little confused."
"Hey, Sarokdar was killed by us. He was just a gargoyle. You! Hurry up and lead the way!"
Niu Niu said disdainfully while carrying his shield.
This sentence made Dorothy's eyes tighten, and she immediately realized that something must have changed on the surface of the earth. No wonder the Rat King has been hiding in this ghost place and dare not go out, but this is a good thing for her current situation!
Great thing!
Hey, there’s help now!——
"boom"
The finely crafted shield in Maxim's hand was hit hard again, and the enchanted shield surface was hit with dents and claw marks. The terrifying force slap made the "monster" who was already known for his strength feel that his arms were about to be broken.
.
The ghoul overlord in front of him roared and struck again. Maxim did not dare to block anymore. When the opportunity came, the Night Bat quickly transformed into a bat and perfectly dodged the blow.
But the failure to hit the target made the unformed ghoul overlord even more angry. The protruding bone spurs on its shoulders shot out in all directions like cannonballs after a single charge.
Its force is strong enough to crack mountains and crack rocks.
Fortunately, both Natalie and Leonia are flexible and will not be hit by such direct attacks.
The arch knights continuously shoot scarlet arrows while gliding and dodging in the air. The special armor-piercing cones of these blood alliance knights are attached with psychic energy. When they hit the target, they will ignite the opponent's blood and make them miserable.
However, the armor-piercing awl that can penetrate steel armor is very difficult to cause effective damage to the underworld skin of the ghoul overlord. Leonia must use her full sniper arrow to pierce the opponent's body.
Among the three, the one that can cause effective damage is the Great Oak Holy Blade.
Needless to say, the purifying spiritual power of the Watcher can restrain evil spirits. Every slash can cause indescribable pain and damage to the monster.
However, what they have to face is a gold-level death creature!
Although it has not yet been completed and is just stuck in silver and gold, the servants of the dead summoned by the power of death and the terrifying undead poison are still not something that can be dealt with casually. Maxim's melee movements have begun to go out of shape.
It means that he is under great pressure.
After he once again used Night Bat to transform and escaped the ghoul overlord's crazy cutting, Natalie immediately stepped forward to fill the position, replacing Maxim and moving back.
"We need support!"
Using a flurry of arrows to quickly clear away the awakened ghoul minions around the filthy blood pit, Lenia fired her bow again while shouting:
"This thing's underworld aura is infecting our bodies. We must conduct a large-scale spiritual purification to cut off its connection with the underworld plane, otherwise we will never be able to win!"
"Now! Where do you want me to find a purifier for you? You elf are really telling lies with your eyes open."
Maxim coughed up black blood and checked the information on the calculation orb. He said:
"Mrs. Tracey is already on the way. She has brought materials for casting spells. Hold on."
"boom"
Before she finished speaking, Natalie was thrown out like a cannonball and landed beside Maxim in disgrace.
But despite this, she still held the big oak blade in her hand tightly.
The two melee fighters were repulsed, and the ghoul overlord who was no longer hindered suddenly let out an excited war roar. Under the constant pull of the soul-stealing roar, Leonia was soon being chased around.
But this silver-level bow knight does have real abilities, and she can still shoot uninterruptedly in close combat chases.
"You guys get out!"
Natalie got up and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, holding the holy blade in her hand. She seemed to be about to cast a seemingly incredible spell.
Emerald green runes danced out on its cheeks.
She suppressed the discomfort in her body and said hoarsely:
"The natural spiritual energy burst with divinity will also affect you, please wait at least one minute before coming in!"
"Can you do it?"
Maxim asked, and Natalie said hoarsely:
"You have to give it a try whether it works or not. This is also my first time using magic. I hope God Avalon will bless us tonight."
"If the merciful Avalon really wants to send blessings here, then we will both be doomed."
Leonia activated the hunter's secret technique, jumped to Maxim's side with a long-distance flash, picked up the injured monster and rushed out of the cave.
She was straightforward and had no doubts about Natalie's determination to fight.
After all, he is the "chosen one" who can wield the holy blade, and he will never die here in a daze.
Well, most likely not. Right?
But at the last moment of Natalie's natural magic chant, a scarlet rift quietly opened in this filthy place, and Tris, holding the serenade scepter in her hand, walked out humming while carrying a box containing spellcasting materials.
A spiritual shock composed of complex scarlet cipher text has been suspended behind her. She is obviously preparing to use the secret skills of the Scarlet Witch to clean up the unformed plague ghoul overlord, so as to show her majesty as the Blood Vulture Grand Duke.
.
As a result, the confident Grand Duke Blood Vulture had just stepped into the cave when he was faced with an emerald green light that filled his face and purified his divinity, bursting out like sunlight.
Mystical magic?
Is this a trap? Is the evil-minded witch hunter planning to take the ghoul overlord along with him? Is he so big-hearted?
Tris: "???"
Natalie: "."
There is no way, the president of the Adventurer's Guild has already seen Tris, but the magic has reached the last moment and cannot be interrupted at all. One after another vines stab out from the rock walls on all sides, and the purifying power from the gods is like the green sun.
He is as ready as a punch.
I don't know if it was her imagination.
Her God of Avalon's response was particularly active tonight, as if even the gods were looking forward to suffering from some unreliable vampire prince.
A few seconds later, Tris's angry and helpless screams echoed in the green cave:
"Natalie! Did you do it on purpose? Didn't you beat your father more than a hundred years ago? As for holding such a grudge? No wonder you are recognized by the Watcher. You and your sword are both cautious!"
Outside the cave, Maxim and Ms. Lenia, who were supporting each other, stared at this "teleportation accident" with wide eyes.
After several seconds of embarrassment, the Silver Bow Knight coughed and said:
"After being hit by a natural magic spell in the front, she is still so powerful. It seems that the legend of the Scarlet Witch is true. She is indeed a genius of our clan."
"I admit that our Grand Duke is a genius."
Maxim whispered:
"But luck, well, as she said herself, it was indeed a little bit worse."
——
In the upper cave, Murphy suddenly sheathed the Cold Fang Blade in his hand.
The four frozen elite ghouls in front of him and behind him followed his steps forward, and the frozen, stinking corpses exploded like crushed ice and turned into remains on the ground.
Necessary evil doesn't pay attention to the self-regulation of "I won't eat the blood of decay". It probably sensed the bad mood floating in Murphy's heart, so he obediently entered into the ferocious cruising and hunting.
He shuttled back and forth in the dark cave, killing the ghouls and resentful spirits quickly.
Tribune Kudel was currently resting in front of a spiritually blocked rock wall with his scarlet sword. Before Murphy arrived, he had already killed most of the elite ghouls in the cave.
.
To be honest, although Kudel is not the strongest vampire Murphy has ever seen, he is definitely the most powerful vampire swordsman.
Although this guy may still have some watts in his brain, his destructive power and combat effectiveness are indeed ridiculously strong. This is probably because he has a belief in his heart that other vampires do not have, which allows him to explode with power that far exceeds his level.
"He's in there."
Kudel said to Murphy who was coming:
"Maybe I'm casting some escape spell, or maybe I'm asking for help from my fellow villains. I'm not good at psychic powers. I'll leave the rest to you."
"Huh? Since you recognized him as Tris's descendant, don't you have even the slightest interest in knowing the Grand Duke's secret?"
Murphy reached out and clasped, and the Necessary Evil that was flying towards him landed firmly on his palm, and he turned his wrist to shake off the smelly blood on the blade.
He asked:
"Besides, you have been chasing me so far. Wouldn't you feel uncomfortable if you don't see the culprit surrendered with your own eyes?"
"I'm not here to kill."
Kudel picked up the heavy sword and turned around to leave without any hesitation.
He said in a deep voice:
"I am just fulfilling my duty. As a tribune, I must protect the people here."
"Then please escort them away. I will accept and treat those people."
Murphy raised Necessary Evil and pierced the blocked psychic barrier in front of him. Under the piercing of the Midnight Miracle, the psychic barrier that could withstand Kudel's heavy sword attack was quickly torn apart.
He didn't even need to listen, he could feel the fear of the "Rat King" hidden inside.
What a piece of shit.
"Kudel!"
When Murphy tore open the psychic barrier and was about to step into it, he turned around and shouted to the tribune who had walked into the darkness:
"I am about to start cleaning up the gnoll bandits in Transia to welcome more homeless people to live a better life on this land. The black disaster that ruined your life is also coming.
I mean, you still have a lot of people to protect.
I don't know if you have regained your sanity, but if you wish to bring the order you want to this land, then I will wait for you in the Blood Vulture Corridor tomorrow night.
I know you hate all vampires, you even hate yourself.
But I assure you, we are different from Sarokdar, and we are different from other vampires. We are all aliens under midnight, and we can help each other."
The tribune's footsteps stopped, but in the end he did not give an answer, but continued to walk and disappeared into the darkness.
Murphy doesn't care either.
When he turned his head, his handsome face was already covered with frost before the killing. The culprit in front of him might indeed be Tris's descendant.
But so what?
If you do bad things, you have to die. It’s the same in every world, right? Why should this bastard in front of me be an exception?
