Chapter 406: Interlocking Tasks

- 520! -520! -520! ……

The dazzling sword slashed through a full 10 demon guard patrols in an instant, and 10 blood-red damage numbers flew up at the same time, connecting them into a neat row, which was spectacular!

The number of effective targets hit by the Holy Force Judgment has once again set a new record!

However, these level 25 demon guard patrols were not killed on the spot, and the thickness of their blood bars was obviously much higher than those demon players that Su Yang had killed in seconds before.

Call!

The Demon Guard patrol who bore the brunt of the attack, his raised tomahawk still slashed down fiercely.

Boom!

Zhao Xi used his battle shield to block the counterattack of the Demon Guard patrol, and the blade of fate swung up, and the sharp tip of the blade slashed fiercely through the latter's chest and abdomen, and suddenly drew a long scar-

75! -

387!

The former damage figure is Zhao Xi's, and the latter is the Demon Guard's patrolman's.

The strength of his attack was not very strong, so the damage he did was obviously not as good as the Holy Power Ruling just now, but this Demon Guard patrol fell to the ground as blood spurted out of his chest!

The system prompt for gaining experience flashed in Zhao Xi's vision.

Kill!

He strode forward, smashing in the middle of them before more Demon Guard patrols could besiege them, and the shield of fate slammed forward!

Boom!

Shield Strike, Hammer Fury!

After advancing to the rank of Thorn Knight, Zhao Xi's strength attribute increased a lot, and the Brute Hammer Fury released with the help of the shield attack was even more powerful. The Demon Guard Patrol who was slapped head-on by the battle shield was directly shot out of the air, and knocked the two companions behind him to the ground-

20!

With a successful blow, Zhao Xi immediately withdrew his battle shield, his body shifted with his pace, and the blade of fate in his hand brought a bright cold light, and quickly slashed through the throat of a demon guard patrolman!

Poof! -

503!

The Demon Guard patrol spun and fell to the ground, the tomahawk he had just raised slamming into the masonry of the ground with a low thud.

But this is only the beginning of the killing, not the end!

Call! Call!

Two battle axes slashed at the same time, one left and one right.

Zhao Xi suddenly paused and retreated half a step back. At the same time, the blade of the axe slashed less than half an inch in front of his chest. But it didn't hurt him in the slightest!

Without waiting for the two Demon Guard Patrolmen to raise their battle axes again, Zhao Xi swung his battle blade forward like lightning, and thousands of extremely powerful blades swung out, putting all the remaining demon monsters within the range of the strike.

Holy Blade Storm!

Holy Blade Storm (Elementary). Divine skills. Consumes 100 Holy Power. All targets within a 5-meter radius gain +50 Holy Damage and a 300 second cooldown!

Just now, Zhao Xi was between advancing and retreating. Draw all the Demon Guard Patrolmen to close range, in order to fully exert the power of this advanced skill.

Shout! Shout! Shout!

With a creepy tearing sound, the eight Demon Guard Patrolmen were hit by several or even a dozen blades on their bodies, and the same damage number flew up again-

415! -415! -415! ……

In a wail of despair and pain, the eight Demon Guard patrols fell in unison.

In Zhao Xi's vision, the experience prompt instantly swiped the screen!

It's too weak!

He smacked his lips and put away his weapon.

For Zhao Xi, this kind of battle is not even a warm-up, it ended too quickly, his hands and feet didn't move much, and the feeling of fighting was gone just now, it was really not very pleasant.

However, he did not forget his mission, and walked forward to the front of the first cell.

In this cell, there was a monster that was not human, not like a ghost, and it looked like an orangutan, and when it saw Zhao Xi, it immediately roared and got up from the dirty ground, slammed into the fence, and grabbed the thick metal cylinder with its furry hands, shaking it desperately.

But these metal fences don't know what material they are made of, no matter how hard they work, they don't move at all, looking hideous and fangs, but they don't pose any threat to Zhao Xi???.

Purely out of curiosity, Zhao Xi cast an insight at it, but the information returned was a string of question marks.

Zhao Xi didn't have time to study the origin of this monster, and he continued to walk forward, looking for the captured knight.

In the entire dungeon, there are thirty sturdy cells, which are imprisoned all kinds of strange guys, some with human faces and beast bodies, some with animal heads and human bodies, one tail and more than a dozen tentacles, as if it is like opening an exhibition field for creatures in different spaces.

But in the last two cells, Zhao Xi finally saw normal things.

The cell on the left was holding a green-skinned goblin, who looked very old, sitting on the ground with its back against the wall, sick and unmotivated, and very indifferent to Zhao Xi's appearance.

And in the cell on the right, Zhao Xi finally found the target of his mission - the missing level 33 Holy Knight Ocleto!

The Holy Knight, who was supposed to be imposing, was now miserable, his armor had been stripped of him, he was wearing only a linen shirt, and he was covered in blood and scars, and he was lying on the ground unconscious.

Because if he is dead, Zhao Xi will not be able to use insight to see the basic information of this NPC.

However, although Ocleto was not dead, the door of the cell where he was being held was locked, and a large beast-patterned copper lock was firmly stuck in the door, which obviously could not be opened without a key.

Boom!

Zhao Xi swung the Blade of Destiny and slashed it directly, only to have a few sparks explode from the blade impact on the chain, leaving only a shallow trace on the surface of the latter.

Trouble!

Zhao Xi knew very well that this was the rule of the system, and even if his strength was ten times stronger, he would not be able to open the cell and rescue Okeletto without meeting the conditions.

Retreating immediately seems to be the wisest choice.

The reason is very simple, Zhao Xi doesn't know where to find the key to open the door, and maybe now the demon clan who controls this place has discovered his arrival, and there will be new dangers at any time.

On top of that, he has obtained accurate information about the Reserve Knight Squad, and as soon as he returns to Locke Fortress, the mission will be completed, and 5,000 merit points will be securely in hand!

It's even easier to go back, he has a scroll back to the city, as long as he opens it and waits for 30 seconds, he can instantly return to the safety of the city.

Time waits for no one, Zhao Xi knows that he can't hesitate, otherwise once the demon clan or more demon guard patrols appear, it won't be so easy for him to run!

To go, or not to go?

This seemingly easy choice to make made made Zhao Xi feel embarrassed.

It's easy for him to go, but the chances of this holy knight surviving are slim, and if he can save him back to Locke Fortress, he will definitely be able to get more and more generous rewards, and maybe trigger new missions.

In addition, if he leaves his robe, he can certainly get the reward, but I am afraid that the Temple of Light, which knows the truth, will not have much good impression of him.

Although this is completely just Zhao Xi's speculation, in the big plot task, this choice is actually very important, one wrong step is a mistake every step, and there is no room for mistakes!

What to do?

"Master Knight!"

At this time, a timid voice familiar to Zhao Xi sounded behind him.

Zhao Xi looked back and found that the goblin Grum didn't know when he actually followed, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What are you doing here?" ”

The goblin seemed to muster up the greatest courage, and it pointed to the cell on the left and said, "Master Knight, can you save our patriarch?" ”

System Prompt: Do you accept the Goblin Grum's quest to save the Patriarch?

Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect that a random task could be triggered on this guy.

He only thought about it for half a second, and then he chose to be sure.

Generally speaking, this kind of random task has a good reward, and Zhao Xi has always made a mistake and never let it go.

"I can find a way to save your patriarch, the problem is that I can't unlock the cell right now."

He asked the goblins, "Do you know where to find the key?" ”――
