Chapter 368: The Truth About the Destruction of the World
The priestess in the front seat of the car, after seeing Lake wake up, handed Lake a bottle of mineral water and a few slices of bread from the front.
"Venerable No. 2, you turned out to be very strong!" The priestess couldn't help but talk to Lake again.
"I didn't say I'm weak, it's average, the second strongest in the world!" Lake took the mineral water and slices of bread and said modestly.
Lake quickly ate his food, replenishing his strength.
After seeing Venerable No. 2 wake up in the buggy and start eating, the bald saint asked the other priests to start the powered motorcycle again, and the convoy was ready to move forward to Lyran City.
The bald saint had watched the Second Venerable Priest sleeping soundly before, and had been sleeping since he came back from the underground yesterday.
The Bald Saint Boss also estimated that the Second Venerable Priest should have been tired from using those special skills yesterday.
The bald saint did not let the clergy of the squad move ahead of time this morning, preparing to wait for Venerable No. 2 to sleep well in the buggy before acting.
After all, going to the underground of Longkui City, without the exploration ability and combat power of the Second Venerable, it was really difficult to fight against those more than a hundred vampires.
Yesterday was the most glorious battle in years for the squad led by the saints.
In one afternoon, more than 1,000 vampires were killed, most of which were unaffected.
Last night, the clergy who went down to the underground area to fight together in the squad were all chatting excitedly around the campfire, talking about the battle.
The priestess who did not go down and another priest who was good at bows and arrows were envious.
The Padre's squad, with eight motorcycles and an off-road vehicle, was once again speeding through the sand.
Lake leaned into the back seat of the SUV and rested with his eyes closed.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the small convoy of the priesthood arrived at the east gate of Longkui City, and then drove into the city to the location of the dry well in the central square area of Longkui City.
Lake got out of the car and activated his Eye-Catching skill to look at the situation underground.
The priests and bald saints on the side did not dare to disturb, nervously waiting for the second venerable to check the information.
"More than a hundred vampires are still gathered in the wide area underground, not scattered, and the location where they stay is very close to the laboratory area, if you don't kill them, when you explore the laboratory area, it is easy to lure these vampires over, which is very dangerous." Lake said regretfully.
"Tell me where they are, and I'll try to lure them in and kill them!" The bald saint said.
"No, Boss, it's too risky, you're fast enough to outrun these vampires underground." A priest with a broadsword stopped him.
The bald saint frowned.
"If we don't lure them away, more than a hundred vampires are gathered in a spacious area, and it will be difficult for us to kill." The bald saint said, he knew the strength of his team, even if the second venerable joined this time, killing the more than a hundred vampires gathered together, especially in the spacious tone of the underground battle, the team was too prone to casualties.
Lake thought about it for a moment and finally decided to contribute.
"I can come down with the bell and lure these vampires over. I'll give you a rough map of the underground, and I can lure the vampires to a small area, and then you can use bows and arrows, darts, knives, etc., to shoot some to death and then melee combat. Lake spoke out about his plan.
"Is it okay? Are you sure your Admiralty can withstand so many vampire attacks? The bald saint asked Lake, still a little worried.
Lake said confidently, "No problem, they won't attack me at the same time." Bring me a communicator, and I'll let you know before I bring them over. But I don't know how much I can attract at one time, and it's very likely that I was attracted to it all at once. I don't think I'll be able to participate in this battle because of my stamina. You have to kill as many vampires as you can on your first attack. At least half of them must be killed to withstand the vampire's subsequent attacks without casualties. This time all ten of us went down, and I found a longer passage suitable for bows and darts. ”
Lake said as he took a stick and began to draw a rough topographical map of the ground.
"Is there really no problem?" The bald saint reconfirmed to Lake.
"It's okay, I'm not going to gamble with my life." Lake said.
Lake looked at the kill value of his Hulk transformation, after four hours of continuous fighting that consumed physical strength yesterday afternoon, the kill value had reached 101 points, which was completely enough for a Hulk primary transformation.
Of course, this Hulk primary transformation, used in this small task, Lake feels a bit wasted, it is best not to use it, or accumulate it first.
Let's see if we can stay until the end of this mission, and even if we can't, we can save it until the main quest against the Vampire Queen.
Lake is confident that this time to attract the vampire group, with this Hulk primary transformation skill, there is no problem in saving his life, and the worst result is to transform into the Hulk himself and use up all the kill value. That's why Lake was so brave to propose.
The other members of the team, after listening to the plan of the No. 2 Venerable Priest, all looked at the newly joined team with admiration.
A ten-member squad of the Priests, after tying the ropes again, went down into the dry well.
Lake first led everyone in this underground labyrinth-like area, first teased a big circle, killed the few vampires that he missed yesterday, and brought the team to the end of a straight passage.
"You guys are waiting here, waiting for news from me, and I'll let you know when the vampire hordes are coming." Lake said.
The priests nodded, watching as the back of the heroic Second Venerable Priest vanished into the passage ahead.
Ryker walked forward with his fiery eye skills.
After turning a few passages, I looked at the hundreds of vampires gathered in the area ahead.
Lake picked up a stone from the ground in the passage and threw it at the vampire lying on the ground at the very edge.
After throwing Lake, he turned around and ran, after all, the speed of a vampire, Lake has also learned it.
Like the best that Lake expected, the method of attracting only some vampires to fly kites did not materialize, and hundreds of vampires were attracted. They ran towards the passage where Ryker's figure had disappeared, chasing after Ryker's defiant prey.
After running two corners, Ryker activated the Golden Bell Jar skill, then stood still and activated the teleportation.
The vampire group is approaching, and more than a dozen vampires in front of them have already attacked the golden bell jar.
"Bang bang bang!" The claw hits the energy bell.
Fortunately, three seconds passed quickly, and Ryker's body disappeared, disappearing with the golden bell, and appeared in the passage next to him.
Lake saw through his fiery eyes that the vampires did not all go back, and found that after the disappearance of the Admiralty, at least eighty vampires chose to continue running towards the front of the passage to find their target.
The remaining dozen, left in place.
"Ready, the vampire group still has thirty seconds to arrive, the first to arrive is more than eighty, try to fight as quickly as possible, and there are more than forty in the back." Lake sent a message to the Padres team over the communicator.
The only thing that went smoothly this time was that Lake Admiralty was not hit too many times in a row by the vampire group, and Lake still had the physical strength to continue fighting.
Lake also ran quickly, running from his passage towards the area where the nine members of the Clergy were located, and teleported, bypassing the vampire crowd in advance, and arriving at the passage where the Clergy was located first.
After Lake ran back to the battle formation of the Priest Regiment, more than eighty vampires rushed in the rear passage, but fortunately, the passage selected by Lake was still quite narrow, and at most ten could rush over at a time.
The priests began to fire their throwing knives, darts, and bows and arrows, shooting at the onrushing vampires.
There was a prepared ambush, the attack power of the nine priests was quite considerable, more than eighty vampires did not rush through the long passage, they were killed, and the screams of the vampires were heard from behind, and more than forty vampires rushed in.
The ranged attack was advantageous to the terrain, and in the end, only about twenty vampires fought melee with the Clergy.
Lake also went into battle with the Golden Hoop Stick.
The flash of the golden bell, combined with the blow of the golden hoop stick, allowed Lake to grab the heads of three vampires.
The vampires were killed by the clergy, and the clergy began to mend the fallen vampires with their swords, and then looked at Lake excitedly.
"Go to this underground lab, check the experiment records, and find the instruments!" The bald saint said.
This is not the time to celebrate, at least find the instrument.
Lake showed the group the way to the lab.
The lab area was large, but fortunately there was no longer a threat from vampires, and a team of ten people began to disperse to search for experimental records, trying to find the instrument as quickly as possible.
Lake also acted alone, entering a large lounge in the underground laboratory area, which was obviously much better decorated than the other lounge rooms, and was supposed to be the lounge of the upper echelons of the laboratory director.
In the room, on a large bed, there were blood stains and bones gnawed by vampires.
Under the sharp eye, Lake found that there was something shining in the closet in the room.
Lake, who encountered this situation for the first time, walked over cautiously, opened the closet, and saw a small video recorder.
Lake tried to play the video on button, and a video played.
After reading it in surprise, Lake's voice appeared in his head: "Congratulations to Player No. 2 Venerable, trigger the hidden mission, the truth of the destruction of the world, whether to start this hidden mission." Once opened, this main quest will become two.
In the original main quest, the Vampire Queen must die unchanged.
A new second main quest: The healing Angel invader in the Holy City must die.
The time limit for completing the mission is the same as the time limit for the original main quest.
Once you accept this hidden quest, you must complete the dual main quests to clear this dungeon world, otherwise when the 50-year stay time is up, you will be forced to leave this dungeon world after deducting 50% of the attributes.
Complete two main quests and receive additional rewards at the end of the quest.
Do you accept the second main quest, yes/no? ”
Lake looked at the prompt of Zhutian Online, no wonder there was a bright light in the closet, it turned out to be a message prompting to open the hidden task.
The footage shown on the video recorder just now was left behind by an old professor who was in charge of research in this base.
The old professor said in the video that the laboratory has successfully developed a device that can convert air into pure water with very little energy.
But that's not the point, in the course of his research, based on the analysis of the ratio of air, moisture and energy in the world, the old professor discovered an astonishing conspiracy.
In this world, decades ago, plants began to die on a large scale, and fertile land turned into sand, and after the initial research of human scientists, they did not find any reason, mistakenly believing that the military launched some nuclear weapons against vampire creatures, causing a disaster caused by climate and environmental changes.
But after the old professor's research, it is not at all, all the spearheads of the withering plants, depleted water sources, and deteriorating soil in this world are pointed at the holy city.
Underneath the Holy City, there is an unknown creature that is absorbing the energy of this world, and it is absorbing it in a predatory nature.
In this information, the old professor has been very sure of this judgment, and also compared the specific coordinates of the existence of this creature with the energy flow map of the world in recent decades in this video.
The old professor decided that vampires were a threat to humans, and that vampires were hunting humans.
But the creature below the holy city is a threat to this world, and the creature below the holy city is slowly destroying the vitality of this earth. The old professor deduced that with this speed of destruction, in another hundred years, there would be no grass in this world, and the water and energy in the land would be absorbed by the creatures under the Holy City, and the world would be completely destroyed.
Lake, combined with the hints of the old professor and the heavens online, has been able to come to a conclusion, an angel clan who arrived in this world for unknown reasons is absorbing the energy of this world, and it is very likely that he secretly controlled the Holy City, so that the Holy City has holy liquid, which can improve the strength of human beings.
This angelic clan hidden in the Holy City is in a state of injury, absorbing the energy of this world to heal. It is estimated that there is also a vampire threat in this world, and the injured angel, in order to protect himself from being disturbed, provided the church with holy liquid to cultivate the clergy.
"No, no, don't accept this hidden mission." Lake chose to reject it directly.
Lake thought that it would have been difficult enough to kill the vampire queen in fifty years, and if he still needed to kill the hidden alien angel in the Holy City, then this quest for the world would be even more difficult to complete.
Although the angel was in a state of healing, he had already absorbed the energy of the earth, water and other energy in a large area of the world, and he was definitely not on the verge of death.
Lake doesn't have to think about it to know it's not easy to deal with. Moreover, it is very likely that this angel also secretly controls the church, and the church controls all the clergy.
Once this hidden mission is accepted, in this Exorcist Quest World, it belongs to the two most powerful top forces in this Quest World, the Vampire and the Holy City are in a hostile state.
Reker doesn't want to take any risks, it's too risky, so I'd rather not want the benefits of this hidden mission, and it's better to be safe.
