Chapter 61: Obtaining the Crystal
We've already reached the place where the system left the iron gate - here means that we are not far from the entrance of the cave. Sunlight shines through the entrance of the cave, and when you get there, the ghost is weakened......
"It's not reasonable for you to be chased so far out...... You can't be carrying smuggled goods, are you? ”
Wei Wei asked with a frown. At this time, Zheng Jiuye had already been chased out twenty or thirty meters - it stands to reason that after such a long distance away from the crystal, the ghost's attention should be drawn back to the backpack containing the crystal......
Zheng Jiuye wept and took out a black crystal the size of a little thumb from his pocket.
"You really brought it......"
"Didn't I want to see if anything else had changed other than the ghosts...... I thought I'd be safe with a big crystal behind me...... Woo whoa, aaaa ”
When Zheng Jiuye turned around to speak, he was almost grabbed by a ghost claw on his ass; Fortunately, Zheng Jiuye hid quickly, but his pants were torn.
“……”
Fortunately, it seems that the speed of the ghost is not so fast, and Zheng Jiuye has only been chased by his ass so far...... At least not injured yet.
However, once injured, the paralyzing toxin brought by the ghost's claws was enough to make Zheng Jiuye accept the attacks one after another.
"Rush around this corner and you're on the outside! If you rush over...... it! ”
Zheng Jiuye slammed into a sudden brake.
The road in front of him was actually blocked! It should have been completely blown up before...... But now there is a problem, and the road is impassable!
Wait a minute. Maybe this is the effect of the switch, and if the channel that was blown up can be reset, then it can explain that the normal way to open this switch is to blow it up......
...... on the wall Find any switches on the wall? Slightly unnatural bulges or something......
Zheng Jiuye's spirit was concentrated to the extreme, and he began to quickly search the surrounding walls.
Got it!
It was only less than a second before Zheng Jiuye saw the switch—hmm...... The switch was found, but it was on the other side of the cave, at least seven or eight steps away from Zheng Jiuye.
And during the time when he was looking for the switch, Zheng Jiuye was careless, and he was forced into a corner by the ghost......
Zheng Jiuye: "......"
The speed of this thing's claws is quite fast, and Zheng Jiuye can't block it too many times; In desperation, Zheng Jiuye could only block with his hand armor first, then turned around and threw the crystal in his hand behind him - anyway, the small pieces had already been smashed, and Zheng Jiuye only lost the smallest piece.
The ghost swooped straight at the crystal; Then, Zheng Jiuye took this opportunity to run towards the opposite side of the passage and pulled the switch violently.
"Bye bye!"
The switch is turned on, and the familiar skill is activated again. Zheng Jiuye had been prepared for a long time, and quickly evacuated backwards at the same time as the switch was activated.
"Quack, Quack, Quack——!"
As soon as the ghost came into contact with the black crystal, the entire translucent body was directly dyed black, and a pair of red eyes appeared on the originally blurred face, and the whole ghost became extremely terrifying.
"It's ...... Sixth-order monster Black Heart Demon? That thing can actually make monsters advance?! ”
Wei Wei shouted in surprise.
"Well, this crystal can probably be sold for a good price in a distant place where there are Pokémon......" Zheng Jiuye shrugged, "After all, you can evolve with a stone or something." ”
At this time, it is already useless to advance to nothing...... If that ghost can directly turn into a black worm across species, after all, the black space has already been attached to the back of that ghost.
Immediately after, the black space worked at full strength, sucking in the ghost that had not yet fully advanced to completion. The ghost that was sucked into the space let out a terrifying howl, and its claws frantically clawed at the wall next to it - but unfortunately it didn't work, and finally the ghost was sucked into the black space.
Eventually, the black space begins to collapse into the middle, disappearing, and finally leaving a walkway for people to walk.
"Whew...... Scared me, fortunately, there is a mechanism with high damage to the explosion," Zheng Jiuye breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally out......"
Not only did they smash the smaller pieces, but they also lost a small part of them......
It was not too far from the imperial capital, and Zheng Jiuye returned to the town that night - because it was already late, Zheng Jiuye decided to go to the academy master the next day to hand in the task, and then send the money to Wei Wei; After this decision, several people separated.
"Yo, Hassan, I'm back......"
As soon as Zheng Jiuye opened the door, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Yan Hassan's face was gloomy and could drip water, and the expression of the girl Elusie, who had been wearing an eye patch, was also very bad, and she didn't cry because she couldn't bear it.
"What the hell is going on......
Before Zheng Jiuye finished speaking, he saw the corpse lying on the ground with black and white oil paint clown makeup on his face.
"Shhh...... Number Four?! No, it's not number four......"
Zheng Jiuye was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, although the corpse in front of him did look like No. 4...... But if you look closely, you can still see some gaps in details.
For example, in terms of stature, this guy doesn't have the shapely size of the four.
"It's really not number four...... But he was disguised as Four," Yan Hassan nodded, "The problem is that I found out the identity of this person through the Swordsman Guild, a commoner who has settled in the imperial capital...... He died of illness three months ago. ”
"Three months ago, he died of illness...... Isn't there a burial? ”
Zheng Jiuye was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
"It's been buried a long time ago...... I've dug up the cemetery, it's empty," Yan Jin replied, "and this guy attacked the Assassins' Guild ......"
Zheng Jiuye: "...... Dead, buried, and then attacked the Assassins' Guild? ”
If that's the case, then this thing is a bit of a scary...... What is this? Another world version of Resident Evil?
"Moreover, he really has the same strength and skills as Four...... It's like a clone of Four. ”
Yan Hassan continued.
Zheng Jiuye: "......"
Could it be that guy number four......
That is, nine times out of ten, this thing is related to number four; Considering what Axol said before, there is a chance that something is wrong with No. 4," Yan Jin said, "I just don't know if No. 4 betrayed or was ...... by the enemy."
Number Four doesn't quite look like that...... Zheng Jiuye's personal idea is that the probability of No. 4 falling into the hands of the enemy is higher.
"And the wounds on Axo's body are very close to the way this guy attacks...... I tried to block it with my body. ”
Yan Hassan raised his hand, and there were several white marks on it that closely resembled the wounds on Axol's body.
“…… Didn't break the defense? ”
Severely wounded Yaxo's attack, Hassan is so good at taking it......
