"Intruder!!"
As soon as the old man's words fell, he saw a huge elbow flying towards him.
With a heavy elbow blow, his face was almost hollowed out.
- You attack the target, and the target's HP is -90% (Critical Attack).
The old man, who was old and frail, couldn't make a snort after being hit by an elbow, so he fell out on his back, and rolled on the ground three times without moving, with more air out of his mouth and less air intake, and he could no longer live.
Joey and Rodman behind him still maintained stunned expressions, from the time they found the old man to the time Bai Ye knocked the old man down, it took no more than 3 seconds, and they didn't react yet.
After receiving the hint of the target's death, Bai Ye squatted down beside the old man and searched his corpse.
- Found in the object......
- Failed to find out!
- You have obtained [Pickman's Brush].
- You have obtained the Cage Key.
'Pickman? The painter mentioned in the letter? β
This paintbrush is a common quality prop, and the special effect is to reduce the chance of attracting movement by 5%, which is a garbage for Bai Ye to throw away from the auction house.
The other set of keys was used to open the wooden cage here.
Bai Ye turned sideways and threw the key to Joey and asked her to release Rodman.
He himself sat down on the spot, taking time to rest and regain his fitness......
However, he didn't have much to rest, and Joey hadn't found the right key to open Rodman's cage.
In the distance of the subway tunnel, the familiar rustling sound and the strange chirping sound rang out again.
"Oops! Here they are, and there are quite a few of them. β
Joey panicked and reported to Bai Ye.
"Give me the key, give me the key quickly......"
Rodman looked more panicked than Joey, he reached out from the cage, snatched the key from Joey's hand, and trembled his hands on the cage lock as he tested the key while his mouth filled with Fack.
'Attracted by the shouting just now?' β
But the shout was not loud, and the old man Pickman was permanently banned by Bai Ye before he could scream.
'Ghouls don't have that keen hearing, maybe...... They're just coming this way. β
Lady Luck is really ruthless, not only did she not give Bai Ye and the three of them any face, but she also raised her leg and gave them a cannon flying foot.
The ghouls came quickly, and their elongated black shadows could already be seen on the walls of the tunnel not far away, and their characteristic chirping and cooing cries became dense and loud.
It was too late to escape, Bai Ye quickly glanced around, and then pulled up Joey, who was shocked and trembling with fright, opened an empty wooden cage next to Rodman and got in.
He crouched in the cage, blocking Joey's side, switching cautious stances.
After the prompt sound, Bai Ye's body color became dull, and gradually blended into the background color.
β¦β¦
A dozen or so ghouls crawled swiftly from the far side of the tunnel, screaming strangely.
The lead ghoul is two circles larger than the other ghouls, with thick limbs, hideous canine teeth, and ugly scars on its face.
Bai Ye secretly threw a 'identification' at it, but he was unlucky and failed to identify it.
When the ghouls approached, they immediately spotted the dead Pickman's body, and the leader stepped forward to sniff it, then raised its head and let out an angry roar.
The other ghouls also made noise, and six of them jumped directly onto the rock wall and quickly crawled deeper into the tunnel - that was the direction in which Bai Ye and Joey came, and they had obviously been ordered by the leader to search for the perpetrators in that direction.
The remaining four little ghouls rushed up, and in line with the principle of not wasting it, they directly ate the corpses on the ground, and the scene was very barbaric and bloody.
The large leader slowly approached the wooden cage.
Rodman's cage was at the very edge, and he was the first to face the ghoul censorship......
Inside the cage, Rodman leaned back against the edge of the cage, huddled in the corner and shivered, his eyes fixed on the ghoul leader, and he didn't dare to let out.
The ghoul leader sniffed in front of his cage, his nostrils wide open, his mouth letting out a 'coo-coo' growl.
"Let's go...... Go away......"
Rodman muttered in a voice that only he could hear, almost scared to pee. He squatted down with his head in his hands, not daring to make eye contact with the other party.
The ghoul leader stood in front of his cage for a moment, then began to move towards the next one.
Inside the next cage was a rotting corpse, and the leader let out an unpleasant grunt, and with his claws outstretched, he easily tore off the thick iron chains on the cage door.
It grabbed the rotting corpse from the cage and threw it at the ghouls, as easily as throwing a rag doll, and the corpse flew in mid-air before several ghouls jumped up and tore it to pieces.
The leader continued to inspect the next cage, where Bai Ye and Joey were hiding.
'What does it want to do?' Do you regularly clean up dead bodies in cages? β
'They keep the captives here in captivity to serve as a stockpile?' β
'No...... The prisoner in the first cage had a big beard, and apparently had been locked up here for a short time, so why hadn't he been reduced to food for the ghouls? β
Bai Ye maintained a cautious posture, squatting motionless in the cage, while Joey grabbed his clothes behind him, his body trembling.
The ghoul leader brought his nose to the cage and sniffed vigorously, a visibly confused look on his face, as if sensing something strange in the cage, but a little unsure.
However, just as the leader was about to open the cage door to take a closer look, a crisp sound of metal colliding suddenly sounded not far away.
Ding Lang Lang β
In the dark subway tunnel, the sound of this series of metal collisions is particularly abrupt.
The ghouls who robbed the corpses, including the hout leader, immediately stood still as if they had been immobilized by the crowd.
Then, the heads of the canines turned, and their greenish eyes looked in the direction from which the sound came fromβat the end of the row of wooden cages, the cage where Rodman was held.
Rodman knelt on the ground sweating profusely, and stretched out his trembling hands to pick up the key that had fallen on the ground.
The group of ghouls came so suddenly that he panicked and caught the key between his legs.
But because he was too scared, his body trembled too much, and his legs and feet were numb after squatting for a long time, Rodman failed to clamp the set of keys, and accidentally let it slip to the ground, making a movement that should never be made at this time.
Roar!
The ghoul leader immediately sensed it, turned around and grinned in anger, and then, like an orangutan, ran on all fours towards Rodman's cage.
"Oh! Damn it...... Joey, help me! β
Rodman lay on the edge of the cage and could only ask Bai Ye Joy for help.
Bai Ye felt that Joey behind him moved restlessly twice, and he hurriedly reached out and pressed Joey's shoulder, signaling her not to act rashly.
The ghoul leader soon came to Rodman's cage, ripped off the chains from the cage with his claws, pulled open the cage door, and squeezed the huge hideous head into the cage, screaming at Rodman in warning.
"No, no, no......"
Rodman howled in despair, and fell to the ground, unable to move under the terrifying threat of the monster, like a lamb to the slaughter.
The ghoul leader hooked up the keys on the ground with his claws, and he immediately understood what Rodman was doing.
It was furious, squeezed into the cage, stretched out its sharp claws and slammed it on Rodman's head, slapping him dizzily and screaming.
The leader erupted ferociously, stomping on Rodman's head, his claws tearing wildly at him, and in an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and fragments of limbs flew everywhere.
