Chapter 170 Picked up one... (It's snowing heavily today)

After resting for a day, Duanmu Huai and others set out again and came to the dark cave tomb.

"To be honest, I'm really fed up with these damn missions..."

Walking into the cave in front of him, Duanmu Huai also muttered and complained. Although for players, basically all tasks are running around like this, but reality is not a game. Although the scenery is pretty good, but

Running around like this is indeed a bit annoying.

Of course, there are more annoying ones.

"You damn vigilantes..."

The vampire whose head was being grabbed by Duanmuhuai glared fiercely at Gu Lei beside him, his eyes glowing red. These vampires attacked Duanmuhuai and others the moment they entered the cave, but soon

It's a pity that they are obviously no match for Duanmu Huai. Except for the unlucky ghost caught by Duanmu Huai, the other vampires have become his dead souls.

"What are you looking for here? Answer me!"

Duanmuhuai mentioned the vampire and glared at him fiercely. Under the light of the torches in the cave, the rabbit helmet stained with blood and grinning looked crazy and terrifying. Seeing this scene, Gu Leiya hit him

She trembled and turned her head silently - last night she had a nightmare, dreaming of a rabbit bigger than herself, catching people and eating them like carrots. At that time, Gulea was so frightened that she could only hide under the bed and not move.

She still remembers how the rabbit in the dream showed a ferocious smile, then grabbed the person with both hands and put it in its mouth to eat it like a carrot.

Hmm... Looking at the scene in front of me, it was like a nightmare replaying itself.

The vampire seemed to have the same feeling. Faced with the terrifying rabbit painting in front of him, it hurriedly shouted loudly.

"I, I don't know either! We are just following orders! We were told to find something locked in this tomb and bring it back! That's all I know!!"

"Then you're useless."

As soon as he finished speaking, Duanmu Huai grasped the vampire's head with his right hand, and then twisted and pulled it like opening the cap of a Coke bottle, and directly broke the vampire's head from its body.

, and then casually threw the headless body and head to the ground.

"Alas-----"

Seeing this scene, Gu Leiya even let out a low cry. Although it was not the first time, but... no matter how many times she saw it, she still couldn't get used to it.

"Okay, now it looks like at least we have good news."

Duanmuhuai clapped his hands and turned to look at Gu Leiya and the vigilant.

"Since these vampires are still here, it means they haven't found that thing yet. In other words, we still have a chance."

Just like Duanmu Huai said, the vampires in this tomb have not yet found a certain artifact hidden in it. Soon, the group set out again, and without much effort, they arrived at the underground cemetery.

deep.

And when they walked through the passage and reached the deepest part of the cemetery, everyone was still surprised by the scene in front of them.

Deep in the tomb, there is an underground lake, and in the center of the lake, there is a large circular altar that looks like some kind of ceremonial place. At this moment, several vampires are on the altar.

Walking around, he seemed to be investigating something.

"Sir Knight, shall we come?"

"No, wait a minute."

However, to Gu Leya's expectation, Duanmuhuai did not take action immediately this time. Instead, he grabbed Gu Leya and the vigilant and signaled them to hide.

"Mr. Knight?"

"Waiting here, it's obvious that they are looking for that something. In that case, we just wait for them to find it, and then go out and grab it!"

Staring at the busy vampires on the platform below, Duanmuhuai also showed a ferocious sneer.

There are similar situations in many exploration missions, that is, the player worked hard to get into the tomb, solved the puzzles, broke the mechanisms, and finally obtained the artifact located in the tomb after all the hard work, but then turned around and

Being blocked by the villain and his army, he triumphantly demanded that the player hand over the artifact or die...

For players, this kind of plot is extremely disgusting!

Why is I a mantis and the BOSS is an oriole?

Can't it be the other way around?

And usually this kind of situation is a plot kill. Is this looking down on the player's combat effectiveness? If it weren't for the cutscene, I would have drawn the gun and shot the SB villain's head on the spot! Or simply give the artifact to the villain in front of him.

It's better to smash it than to play such a disgusting plot!

Besides, even if you hand over the artifact obediently, wouldn't it still be death? They are both villains, and you still expect the other party to be trustworthy? Is this protagonist's brain a blessing?

Hey, I want to be an oriole now!

"Well…………………"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, both Gu Leiya and the vigilante's expressions were a little complicated. After all, in their opinion, this approach was somewhat unethical - but after thinking about it carefully, they had no objection. After all,

Hidden inside may be some kind of vampire artifact, maybe only vampires can open it?

The vampires who were busy on the platform below obviously didn't know that there were three oriole's waiting to eat above at this moment. These vampires seemed to have discovered something. Soon, one of the vampires walked to the pillar in the center of the circular platform and placed it on the platform.

He put his hand on it.

"Crack!"

The next moment, the sharp thorns bounced up and penetrated directly through the back of the vampire's hand. This also made the vampire wailed and collapsed to the ground. Immediately afterwards, his blood flowed down from his arm, like a flood that broke a bank.

It flowed into the grooves engraved on the platform, and then, a faint purple flame emerged from it, forming a strange pattern.

As for the vampire, he had turned into a mummy after draining his blood.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai also shook his head, and then looked at the two people.

"Look, it's a shame we weren't the ones to deliver it."

"………………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's emotion, the two of them had nothing to say. Indeed, if this was the way to open the seal, then they were not willing to sacrifice their own blood... After all, people would die!

At this time, the remaining vampires pushed the torches on the platform and placed them in the appropriate position. Then they saw the originally sealed floor in the middle sliding open to the surroundings, and then, a huge stone pillar appeared from it.

rising.

That's it now!

"Let's go!!"

Seeing the joy on the faces of the vampires, and just as he was about to go over and open the box, Duanmu Huai roared, jumped down, raised his war hammer, and jumped directly towards the platform!

Hahaha, now it’s your turn to taste the taste of the oriole behind you!!

Facts have proven that when some plots are reversed, they are equally effective.

The vampires who had unlocked the mechanism and were about to open the stone pillar did not expect that they would be cut off. When Duanmu Huai jumped down and rushed towards them, the faces of these vampires were full of surprise and surprise.

.But obviously, Duanmu Huai will not waste time by talking nonsense like those idiot bosses in the plot CG. After all, as long as he kills them, that thing will be his!

So, the villains in those cutscenes are all idiots. Wouldn't it be better to just shoot the protagonist from a distance with a black gun and then send someone to recover the things? Why do you have to blabber a lot of nonsense? This will not only make the player's blood pressure rise, but also make them want to wait.

Apart from killing the opponent, there seems to be no benefit at all.

Hmm? Or are these idiot villains deliberately taunting players so that players can tear them into pieces later?

"Boom!!!"

As the last vampire's head was smashed into meat, the battle came to an end. At the same time, Gu Leiya and the vigilant also came to Duanmu Huai's side.

"Okay, now it's time to open the box."

Duanmuhuai rubbed his hands, stepped forward, and signaled the two of them to step back. After all, no one knew what was inside, so it was better to be careful.

Just as Duanmu Huai put his palm on the surface of the stone pillar, with a "rumbling" sound, soon the front section of the stone pillar slid down, revealing the treasure inside.

However…………

When they saw clearly the treasure hidden in the stone pillar, the three of them widened their eyes in surprise.

“Is this a………………person??”

Just as the warning person said, there is a person in the stone pillar at this moment.

To be precise, she is a teenage girl.

She has light brown hair, wears a white long-sleeved shirt and a lace gothic skirt, and has a pair of bat-wing-like headdresses on both sides of her head. If you just look at it like this, then the girl in front of you is just...

She just looks like an ordinary noble lady.

"This.........is the treasure???"

Looking at the girl in front of her, Gu Leiya was also confused. She originally thought that the vampire who had spent so much effort to find it must be some kind of artifact, but... it turned out to be a girl? Could it be that this girl

Is there anything special about it?

"I see."

On the contrary, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene. He had not forgotten that Azula had told him before that the vampires used to transform Azula's Star in order to suck the soul into it and control it——

Now it seems clear who the modified version of Azura's Star is intended to be used against... huh?

At this time, Duanmuhuai discovered a long, golden columnar object carried on the girl's back. It looked like a huge scroll, about the same height as the girl, with gems and silver patterns inlaid on it.

, one look at it and you know that this thing must be worth a lot of money.

The moment he saw the scroll, the vigilant's eyes suddenly went straight.

"That's... The Elder Scroll?!"
