100. Direct boss room?
Qi Wuce led Artoria to stand at the top of the staircase, staring down the staircase until it was engulfed in darkness.
A faint smell of blood lingered in his nose, and he didn't have to look at Qi to be helpless to imagine what a tragic scene it was to be inside the dungeon.
The Saxons are mostly savage, and after a victory the group of guys often does not give their opponents a happy death. Qi Wuce didn't know what Barnett was like, but judging from the information he had obtained so far, even if it was just the tip of the iceberg, Barnett could not be called a happy person.
Glancing at Artoria beside him, Qi Wuce was sincerely worried about the other party, he was not sure if it was the right thing to do to let this innocent girl come into contact with such a tragic thing at this flower-like age. But in terms of Artoria's ultimate goal, these things are unavoidable.
His stomach was churning, and his throat seemed to be choked with a foreign body. The constant smell of blood stimulated not only the sense of smell, but also the spirit of Artoria, the unknown in the darkness as if the words of the devil were both seductive and dangerous.
"Let's go, go down and have a look."
Qi Wuce didn't plan to enlighten Artoria right now. There's no doubt that the dungeon is brutal, and that's when Artoria breaks down at the sight of something vicious.
Even if you are afraid, even if you are unwell. But when Qi Wuce took the lead and walked down the steps, Artoria's body involuntarily followed.
Artoria wanted to help others, just to see those happy smiles with her own eyes.
She herself is so sure of this goal that it is because of this that even the greatest difficulties are as fragile as paper in the face of the clash of convictions.
At the end of the staircase was a passage that was even darker than the one level above, and the gloomy aura made it impossible for Qi to light a single torch in the passage to provide light.
The dried blood on the ground stretched all the way to the end of the passage, and Qi Wuce's sharp eyes spotted some grain crumbs falling under the half-open doors on both sides of the passage.
Not only did you throw everyone into the dungeon, but you also removed all the food in the storage room by the way?
The main purpose is ultimately to rescue the hostages who may still be alive, so the matter of food is helpless and only pays a little attention to it and ignores it.
As we went deeper into the darkness, the smell of blood piled up in the ground became stronger. Perhaps due to the human instinct to hate death, the smell that humans are born with is so disgusting when it is emitted in the air.
Qi Wuce and Artoria arrived at the half-closed gate, behind which the source and truth of all the blood were waiting to be discovered.
"Be prepared."
A kind reminder that Qi Wuce simply didn't want to see Artoria behave too badly after witnessing the excesses.
Qi Wuce put his hand on the door, and he gradually increased his strength, and the harsh sound when the latch rubbed was like a requiem.
Smack.
A crack opened in the door, and a bloody hand lay limply on the ground.
Artoria's pupils shrank, and her spirit seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, and the person was in a trance for a moment.
She tried to calm herself, but the moment she opened the door completely, everything Artoria had done for herself in her mind was in vain.
It was a man as tall as an iron tower with a pale complexion like the moon of the forest, and his body exuded a thick bloody aura, and fragments of severed limbs flew all over his body.
It can be said that the dungeon is now less like a facility used to hold enemies, but more like a completely irregular slaughterhouse.
"Gross!"
Artoria vomited, and the psychological stimulation caused her body to react violently.
"Barnett, I can't imagine that a simple rescue mission could turn into a boss challenge."
Even if the complexion has changed greatly, the person who shot that arrow ten years ago is useless, and no matter what, he will never forget it.
"The Remnant of Uther......"
Bathed in blood, Barnett completely ignored Qi Wuce, and his eyes only had Artoria as a goal, the supreme task that Voltigen had given him.
Bright blood-colored light burst from Barnett's fingertips, and the hands that had been human were twisted into beast-like claws.
Holding Artoria, who had not yet reacted, easily dodged the blow, Qi Wucei stared at the claws, and the thoughts in his mind flashed.
The familiar way of fighting, sucking blood in exchange for great power, seems to be called death...... What is the death of?
Oh yes! It's Dead Apostles! The fragmented memory made Qi Wuxue have no choice but to use the knowledge he has learned in this life, and at the fastest speed, he thought of a certain existence that is most similar to Barnett today.
The first blow was a failure, and Barnett did not hesitate and quickly made a second attack.
He was not a grinding person in the first place, and after being transformed by Fu Tigeng, he was a killing machine that simply obtained the meaning of existence in order to complete the task.
A second attack struck, and Artoria recovered from the mental shock. But due to the current situation, she was not in a hurry to break free from Qi Wuce's embrace.
Of course, emotions such as shyness are completely non-existent, and Artoria has never regarded herself as a woman, except for the day when she was fooled into wearing women's clothes by Qi Wuce and others.
The technique of dodging and escaping has always been the main offensive aspect of Qi Wuce, and it is even three points stronger than fighting head-on. If Qi Wuce simply wanted to escape, few people in the whole of Britain would be able to keep him.
Moving between square inches, even if he was holding Artoria in his arms, Qi Wuxue was able to be as light as a swallow.
Of course, the current advantage will not last long, and Qi Wuce's dodging skills may be able to maneuver with Barnett in a short time, but once the battle continues for a long time, it will be a matter of time before the opponent finds a flaw in it.
Killing this kind of thing at first sight is difficult to achieve unless it is an absolute crushing at the level of strength. Qi Wuce retreated after initially feeling the power shown by Barnett.
On the one hand, the situation in the enemy camp is extremely unfavorable, and on the other hand, it is because of Artoria's drag.
After experiencing that kind of shock, Qi Wuce was not sure how much strength Artoria could exert now.
If your life is okay, no matter what you do, it's your own business. But when it came to Artoria, Qi Wuce didn't want to gamble anyway.
Putting a friend's life as a bargaining chip on the table without permission is something that Qi Gang will never be able to do.
