Chapter Twenty-Three: The Chapel of Escape
twenty-three
The morning sun lazily bathed me, and I felt full of strength. Sometimes, beings with great energy do not know how much light and hope they will bring to others. Well, for example, dear readers, a flower, a collection or a short review at your hand can make me jump up and down with excitement and a happy day......
Great, I've digressed again.
cough~~ In this beautiful morning, I stood at the southern gate of Lanfeng City in full gear. With a tinkling of my packet of potions, I have decided to go to a faraway place where it is rumored to be a paradise for the ranks of the Divine Profession.
Open the status bar and see how I am!

I nodded and smiled, it was already level 20, and with another level 10, it would be a glorious 2 turns.
I checked my whole body again, the equipment was repaired, and the potions were full. Nothing seems to be missing. Okay, let's go! Although there are no horses, don't you want people to learn from them? I imitated the sound of a horse in my mouth and set off: "Eori~~~~ drive!" ~~~ Players in front of you pull over and pull over, and there is a BMW in the back~~~"
I ran all the way, leaving behind the players who were strolling on the avenue one by one, and the people along the road were all ashamed.
Ahead is a barren mountain, with patches of yellow sand and shrubs covering the rest of the place. At the back of the mountain, there is a legendary ghost town, the ghost town of Dietkani. As of this writing, I have nothing to say about this town other than its striking name. I hope the NPC didn't lie to me, but an NPC who is willing to follow the instructions of his superiors and stay in the boss's belly all day long should not lie to anyone.
It's been a long time since I've climbed a mountain, and it's a great feeling to climb a mountain. Step by step, you climb to the peak, the scenery behind you gets farther and farther away, the trees and pedestrians get smaller and smaller, but the range you see is getting bigger and bigger. Take a deep breath, and the world suddenly appears in front of you with another image, making you feel the greatness of the world. When I climb the mountain, my mood becomes very relaxed. At this time, I tend to think about philosophical questions that have been around since ancient times.
Like, what's most important in the world?
Is it because you are obsessed with what others say about you? Or are you obsessed with some childhood toys? Can't let go of outdated emotions? Or are you reluctant to be familiar with the environment?
The answer is Nothing~~~
That's right, nothing matters, let go and climb your dreams! What does all this mean compared to dreams? Since birth, everyone will have some baggage and some fetters every day. Shake them off, and you can walk like fly~~~
Like I am walking on a 45-degree slope like I am walking like I am.
In reality, this is unimaginable. But now I'm in the game, and I'm a knight full of strength and energy! I was dressed in heavy armor, carrying a heavy shield on my back, and holding a 2-meter spear in my hand. But I can still climb this barren mountain in one breath and look down on the other side of the mountain!
On the other side of the mountain, guess what I saw?
Don't guess, I can't even guess. ~~ According to the game's setting, of course, all I saw was a dark fog.
What's in the fog? With that in mind, I walked into it step by step.
The background music was so bleak, with slow piano accents and long sighs, an old, dilapidated town appeared in front of me as the black fog slowly faded. The town is overgrown with weeds, and the air smells of decay. It seems that all life is slowly withering.
Such a place is really eerie enough to make people worry all the time.
At the entrance to the town, a crooked wooden sign reads: "Town of Dietkani." The wooden signs creaked from side to side, but there was no wind at this time.
There wasn't a hint of wind, just a gasp of air coming out of my mouth.
Damn it! As a knight, how could I, as a knight, be afraid of these dark things!
It's a game, it's a game!
I kept reading it. It was much better, and I suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not so weird, and I began to enjoy the scenery of the town. The ringing in my ears also became soothing. I'm here to level up, I should be happy!
But, where is the blame?
Finally something scared me - I had climbed a mountain so high that my body was clogged up with potions. After coming to this town, there is no stranger! I'm sorry, it's big!
I kicked open a rotten door and walked into a private house. Nothing, those rotten furniture, weeds all over the floor. I opened them one by one and inquired carefully. Except for a few rusty copper coins, nothing was found.
What bad luck! Why am I always so unlucky! I thought as I walked out of the house.
As soon as I got out of the house, I saw a person standing not far away, looking around. I shouted, "Friend, you're here to level up!" Why don't you look for monsters in the group? ”
I thought he was also a player who came here to level up, but who would have thought that when he heard my words, his head slowly twisted.
His back to my body didn't move, and his head creaked 180 degrees. The face that could see the broken teeth without opening its mouth smiled at me.
He's a monster, that's right! It's a monster! Wrong, wrong, he's experience! It's equipment! It's gold! ~~~~Oh! ~~~~Yes! ~~~Banzai! ~~~Ulla! ~~~~
I cheered, and Little Jump rushed at him. His empty eyes revealed puzzlement, why such a strange player, it is better to go first. He straightened his head with his hands and ran quickly.
Sample! Finally let me catch you, you still want to run? I'm chasing!
One man, one corpse, one player and one monster, just like this, rushed one after the other in the desolate town of Dietkani, and from a distance, two lines of dust.
Hey, the undead are said to be tireless and agile. When I saw this today, I chased with all my might, and actually chased more than 800 meters to the square in the middle of the town. When he reached the square, he finally stopped running, and leaned back against the pool in the center of the square, which no longer had fountain water, and looked at me with a sneer.
Don't smile at me, don't blame me for being ruthless, I'm also forced!
I yelled, "! ~~" Grabbing the spear in his hand and charging over, the spear easily penetrated his body, and I didn't even feel any resistance. He still looked at me with a mocking smile, and he slowly unfastened his clothes with his hands, revealing his body, which had no flesh on his body, and what I saw was ribs one by one—he was an undead.
"Bell~~~~~ bell~~~~~ bell~~~~~ bell~~~~~"
He looked diagonally behind me, and I turned my head to look. It was a church, and the big bell at the top of the church was ringing. As the bells rang, I also heard countless footsteps. Step, step, step, step closer and closer.
Around the square, thousands of skeletons appeared out of nowhere, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands: the undead who were miners carried a mining pick, the undead who were peasants held hoes, and the undead who were soldiers who held heavy swords...... They just walked towards me step by step, step, step......
Damn, fooled! I can't imagine that all the brains that look so hollow would actually think of such a tactic to lure the enemy, and I can't help but start to admire the undead a little.
There was no time to hesitate at the moment, so I yelled, "Get up!" ~~" I pulled out my spear with all my might, and ran away.
My head was spinning, and there was only one way to go, and that was to enter the church. Climb the clock tower and take advantage of the small space there to face such a large army of skeletons fighting alone! Yes, that's right! With that in mind, I ran to the church as fast as I could!
Seeing me running towards the church, a heavily armored undead leader waved his heavy sword in his hand: "Roar! ~~~". In an instant, thousands of undead ran up and surrounded me! I picked up my gun and knocked over a few undead who were in my way, "Drink! ~~" With a bang, a blessing hit the nearest undead chasing behind him. Panicked and fled into the church.
The church is littered with benches, and what was once a sacred place is now unrecognizable and full of disgrace. I quickly ran to the entrance to the bell tower, the damned undead behind me already rushing in, the roar echoing through the spacious hall.
"Come on!" I roared. At this point I was already standing at the entrance of the bell tower, which was a small space. I was so enthusiastic that I decided to stay here and fight them to the death. At this time, there is only one sentence in my mind: the brave wins when the narrow road meets!
"!" In a short charge, I stabbed hard at the first skeleton that appeared in the doorway, hitting its sternum. The number -68 popped up, and before I could draw my gun, I smashed another punishment and blessing on him, and the number -24-173 popped up. Another crash, I dealt with the first undead.
I don't have the time to look at how much experience I gained, what equipment and how much money I have exposed. After I quickly activated the Divine Frozen Aura, a second undead reappeared. I quickly repeated the previous action and quickly solved it. Then came the third, the fourth......
After a pack of cigarettes, I appeared on the third floor of the bell tower, and a steady stream of undead was approaching. I had to retreat to the spiral steps to dodge the more and more arrows being fired at me, and the Frozen Aura had been replaced by the Prayer Aura. In this crowded place, I don't need to be cold to slow them down, but I need to slowly return my blood. Thankfully, the Prayer Aura was already a master, so I could barely cope with the situation in front of me. The occasional undead elite monster always pushes me back a few steps back again. I looked up and there were only two floors left to retreat.
"Boom! ~~", a heavy sword slashed my shield, -78! The sword that cut off a fifth of my blood in a defensive state was a tall undead warrior who took a heavy sword and slashed at my shield after sword. I had to drink a vial of blood medicine to add a blessing to myself.
Strange things happened, I tried to shoot him one after another, and one blessing after another fell on him, but his blood did not decrease in the slightest! What's going on?
After I retreated one more level, I saw in a blink of an eye that there was an undead priest in the group of skeletons! The undead priest is using this dark healing technique with the blood of the tall undead warrior in front of me, and there is nothing I can do about such a combination! I can't get past the undead warrior in front of me to attack the priest, and in this case I can only step back!
Distracted, another heavy sword slashed at my body! -202! All at once my blood was empty. And the blood-replenishing potion is still in the CD! In desperation, I stunned the warrior with a shield strike, and turned and ran to the top of the bell tower, blessing myself as I ran.
At the top of the bell tower is a small room. An undead spirit, probably the one who had just rang the bell, was looking at me with a stunned expression. He had a hammer in his hand that rang the bell, and after a moment, it struck me.
"Get out of here!" I yelled, and a charge knocked him out there, what now, what now? Window! I saw a window without glass, which facilitated the spread of the bells! Under the chase of a large number of undead in the back, I didn't even think about it, and jumped out of the window with a fish jump!
It's five floors, "Bang! I fell heavily in the backyard of the church, and my fitness cost me only 20 points of blood. I didn't even have time to shoot and ran to the gate in the backyard. The sound of banging behind him sounded one after another, this group of undead is really good enough, am I easy? You are all forced to jump off the building, and you are still chasing!
I quickly opened the backyard door and flashed out. The moment I closed the door, I saw the undead who had jumped down scattered to the ground, but they touched their heads and thighs with their hands, and then regrouped and rushed towards me again......
"It can't be so ruthless, right?" I cried out in a broken heart, turned around, and wanted to continue my escape. However, the scene in front of me made me feel stunned......
What appeared in front of me was a group of evil creatures. They were a group of huge scorpions, staring at them with red eyes, waving huge scorpion claws, and flicking their poisonous tails, and slowly crawling over......
