Volume 1 The Northern Immortal House Chapter 4 Knights

Zhou Qi bowed his body, holding the shield in his left hand, curled up as much as possible within the shield range, and held the short axe in his right hand, dragging it behind him. I made enough posture to quietly enter the village and shoot guns.

He slowly moved to the hole in the wall. The moment an arrow flew in front of him, he rushed out.

"Take!" The sound of arrows crashing into the wood. The constant vibrations on the arm. It gave him more confidence. It's close! It's closer!

The palm of his hand holding the handle of the axe was full of sweat, and the green tendons on the back of his right hand were prominent, indicating that after the weapon in his hand was swung, it would be an unstoppable fatal blow!

There are still 30 meters to go! Zhou Qi's feet began to accelerate! Another 10 meters! After a long period of repression, at this moment, it is about to explode completely!

As he was about to rush in front of the Spirit Archer and launch his first counterattack, the enemy who had inflicted near-fatal damage on him made a move that surprised him.

Turn around and run! Yes, turn around and run!

The geist archer put away his bow and arrows, and with a staggering step, but with unusual agility, turned and ran into the passage to the left at the end of the hallway.

Zhou Qi's roar, which had already been brewing, was instantly stillborn. After a moment's distraction, he roared and chased after him. He has a lot of emotions that need to be vented!

And yet there is nothing ahead! It was as if the Spirit Archers had never appeared.

He looked around with an inexplicable tremor and nervous eyes. Although the environment was still gloomy, the sky light from the rooftops around the passage finally allowed him to say goodbye to the darkness. The passage has apparently penetrated deep into the interior of the castle. The walls and floors are made of rough polished stones, deep and heavy. A semi-enclosed cloister with windows with iron grilles on the outside. There is a wide staircase on the inside, which connects you up and down.

Zhou Qi did not put down his shield. On the contrary, he was very alert at the moment. With his back against the wall and his shield in hand, he slowly moved down the aisle. The moment he reached the corner, he finally relieved his tense nerves. Sit down against the wall.

It's a dead end, unless a geist pops out of the wall.

The panel showed that he was out of combat at the moment. The number of health beats clearly told him that he had once again brushed shoulders with death!

"Stranger! Did you follow the guidance of the fire to follow here? A hoarse voice, echoing through the room, came clearly into his ears!

This is undoubtedly like a thunderclap for him!

"Who! Who's there! Zhou Qi held the shield tightly, curled up, and desperately squeezed into the corner.

"I'm a knight, and as for my name, maybe he still lives in my distant memory." A hoarse voice, with an indescribable weakness.

"Knight?"

"Yes friend, I am a knight, I forgot where I came from, even my name, I followed the guidance of fire and came here!"

"Mr. Knight, where are you?" Zhou Qi asked tentatively. At least he finally met someone he could communicate with during this time. Regardless of the other person's attitude.

"Sounds like you're nervous, friend. I'm right in the room behind you. The door to the room is sealed, though, and you'll have to get the damn door open before you see me. ”

At this moment, Zhou Qi finally found the source of the sound. The wall against which he was leaning, three meters above the ground, had a window. That's where the sound comes from.

"Mr. Knight, do you know how to get out of here?"

"Leave...... Oh...... Leave, what a desirable word. I know, of course I do. You have to kill the demon guarding the key. Open the door and face freedom. ”

"Kill the demons!? The demon in the front courtyard? ”

"Yes friend, I think you've already met it!"

Zhou Qi swallowed his saliva with difficulty.

"Do you know what it takes to kill it?"

"Well, killing the demon is not an easy task, but if you are willing to accept my request. If you do me a small favor, I'd be happy to help you a little when you challenge the demons! ”

"My partner and I followed the footsteps of the fire and came here. I fell into a demon's trap and was trapped in my room, and in order to rescue me, he went alone to the lower prison to seek answers. I beg you, my friend, to follow the stairs to the lower level of the castle in search of my companion, if he is still alive. Of course, if he dies, please bring me his token. I'm convinced that he has found a way to save me! The knight's hoarse voice came intermittently from the window.

"Number 5106 triggers the mission, the request of the Unknown Knight. Requirements: Go to the lower level of the castle to find the knight's companion or bring back his token. 2. Find a way to get the knight out of trouble! Completing the quest rewards 500 Blood Points. Drop the reward and get the help of the knights! ”

"Number 5106 is accepting the mission, the request of the Unknown Knight! If no selection is made after 60 seconds, it defaults to rejection. The timer begins! ”

Again?! Zhou Qi hesitated for a moment.

"Mr. Knight, I accept your request."

"Thank you very much, my friend. Forgive me for not being able to help you any more, and I look forward to the good news you bring! ”

"Mr. Knight?"

There was no answer, and silence fell around again.

Zhou Qi opened the panel and looked at his attributes. After a period of rest, his health had returned to full value, and he tore off the strip of cloth from his shoulder. Surprisingly, although the wound still looked bloody and blurry, it was already showing signs of closing.

"It seems that while the health is restored, the wound can be gradually restored." This undoubtedly provided him with great confidence in the next action.

Tear up the already tattered T-shirt on the upper body and bandage the wound again. After resting a little, Zhou Qi cautiously followed the wall and came to the entrance of the stairs.

At the end of the stairs below, there was the darkness he had already familiarized. He held the shield tightly, and the hatchet was already firmly tied to his right hand with the remaining strips of cloth. With the sound of his own clear footsteps, he walked down the stairs slowly.

At this moment, he once again felt a little uneasy about taking on this task. In the darkness ahead, he didn't know what awaited him. His instincts made him aware of the danger. Despite this, his steps were trembling, but quietly a little more stable. This may not even have been noticed by him.

Zhou Qi controlled the rhythm of his breathing, the rudimentary shield stood in front of him, and when his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, with the faint light of the sky behind him, although the visual distance was very short, he could vaguely see the space about 2 meters in front of him.

"There's movement!" Zhou Qi stopped.

"Sand . . Sand." As if the sound of dragging old tires sounded again. From the beginning of the blur, gradually become clear. A low, hoarse hiss drew closer. In the dark passage of the cell, he could already vaguely see several dark shadows in front of him.

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind on the left, and the familiar stench entered his nostrils.

Zhou Qi almost instinctively turned to one side, and there was a muffled sound of "bang" from the wooden shield. At such a close distance, he could clearly see that it was the carrion spirit that he had encountered before.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Qi struggled to swing the short axe in his right hand, and slashed down along the diagonal line. The foul-smelling liquid splashed bits and pieces on his face. He withdrew his axe and swung it again. Once, twice...........

"No. 5106 Kill the Carrion Spirit and gain 20 Blood Points"

Damn the hint, it's heavenly, it's coming late.

He gasped hard, and the sense of danger brought to him by his intuition did not diminish in the slightest, and became clearer and clearer. A slow rustle, and a low roar, had crept all around him.

"Come on! What the hell! Come on! You damn it! Zhou Qi roared in his mouth as he reflexively ran towards the entrance from which he came.

He trembled, but stood firm at the entrance of the cell door. More abundant light, so that he could clearly see that countless swaying black shadows in the aisle were rushing towards him with a scalp-tingling rustling sound!

The unknown is frightening, and knowing the enemy he is about to face makes him full of fighting spirit at this moment.

"That's a fucking lot!" He roared inwardly. His eyes were fixed on the surging black tide.

When another carrion geist approached, Zhou Qi erupted.

With a roar that the effect of strengthening courage was greater than the practicality, Zhou Qi suddenly exerted his strength, and even the person with the shield fit and crashed into a geismus. The crazy dancing short axe is undisciplined, but full of domineering! With an almost rogue horizontal and vertical chop, the life of the wandering soul is harvested messily.

"No. 5106 Kill the Carrion Spirit and gain 20 Blood Points"

"No. 5106 Kill the Carrion Spirit and gain 20 Blood Points"

……….

"Number 5106 is under melee attack, reducing his health by 7."

At some point, the last carrion geist fell in front of him. Zhou Qi numbly slashed the short axe into the air. After a long time, the wooden shield in his hand fell to the ground with a click. With a heavy gasp, his feet went limp, and he fell to his knees on the foul-smelling ground.

He looked like a wax figure that had just come out of the oven. Covered in minced meat and viscous liquid.

Through the panel, Zhou Qi had already seen that at this moment, he was completely out of the battle, and his health still had 19 points left, and he had entered a moderate injury, which was not far from entering a 15% serious injury state.

Thankfully for Zhou Qi, the attack of the carrion spirit was clumsy and sluggish, and there was no other way to attack except for the pounce of both hands. This allowed him to take much less damage in battle. If he encounters a group of enemies like the Archer Wandering Spirit, whom he hated before. He simply couldn't hold on until now.

There is surprise and joy! After the first battle, the blood point was beyond his expectations, reaching 760 points!

It seems that the necessary killings will continue to be completed in order to complete the 2000-point mission requirement.

However, the harvest did not dilute the inexplicable panic in his heart. In the darkness ahead, there is still an unknown danger hidden, waiting for him.

After a long time, after his health slowly returned to full value, he stepped into the darkness again. At this moment, his eyes were a little less afraid, and there was a little more madness!
