Volume 1 Northern Immortal House Chapter 6 Steel

At the moment when the bonfire was completely extinguished, the light of the torch was lit again.

Zhou Qi held a torch in his left hand and a short axe in his right hand, looking around the hall. After entering the dungeon, the uneasiness that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time reached its peak at this moment.

In the darkness that the firelight could not reach, it was as if there was a pair of eyes that he could not see, staring at him. He felt like a prey, and although there was nothing going on around him, he was overwhelmed by the impending danger.

The hall is rectangular in shape. The iron gate was located at the waist of the hall. The depth at both ends is full of unknowns.

Zhou Qi walked towards the right side of the hall. He decided to explore one side first. Half of the task entrusted by the knight has been completed. Reduced to ashes, Zasuk is the knight's companion. But he still couldn't find a way to get the knight out of trouble. Of course, it was not possible to bring Zasuk's notes and dragon pendant back to the knight.

The firelight shone on the walls, and the material was still made of blue-gray granite polished and stacked. There were no candles on the sconces, and the weapon racks were empty. The tasseled cloth man, with its tassels, hung stiffly to the ground, embellished with nothing but desolation.

On the wall at the end of the hall to the right, a black protrusion caught his attention. Zhou Qi walked over while taking care of the ground under his feet.

A tie rod.

An iron lever, about half a meter long, with the thickness of an arm. The other end, deep into the recess of the wall. Looks like it can activate some sort of trap. Zhou Qi showed a hint of excitement on his face. Perhaps he has found a way to get the knight out of trouble. Although he didn't know what the consequences would be if he pulled down the lever. However, his instincts told him that he had to.

Zhou Qi put away the short axe, and now he was completely accustomed to the convenience brought by the bloody heraldry. The free right hand was placed on the lever.

At this moment, as a pinprick sensation came from his back, his hairs stood on end! The sense of crisis before the prey is about to be killed has never been stronger!

If he had the feeling of being targeted before. At that moment, he felt that the gaze that was staring at him was like substance. There is a strong murderous intent in his eyes!

Zhou Qi's right hand let go of the lever inch by inch and re-grasped the short axe.

"Come out!" He suddenly yelled and suddenly turned to the right! While turning, swing the battle axe with all your might.

The sound of the wind from the blade of the axe cutting through the air told him that he had not hit anything.

His breathing became heavy, with a slight wheezing.

In the darkness, two scarlet lights lit up!

The feeling of being on my back just now comes from there. He suddenly felt that he was like a mouse being targeted by a cat, and there was nowhere to run.

"Who's there? Come out! The roar was trembling. It seems to have added a little bit of courage. Zhou Qi walked over cautiously. He subconsciously walked forward as he approached the iron gate on his left.

The two spots of scarlet in the dark are unusually glaring.

When passing through the iron gate, Zhou Qi hesitated, and finally he gave up the idea of leaving. Resolutely walked forward. It's just that his steps are slower. Perhaps this choice will make him regret it. But if he can't complete the task, what awaits him is still a dead end. He clearly remembered that the erasure of the two bright red characters was so eye-catching.

As he approached, the bright yellow glow of the torches gradually dispelled the darkness on the left side of the hall. A tall figure gradually faded from blur to clear.

In front of me, it looks like a metal statue of an ancient knight! The body is more than two meters tall, and the whole body is covered with dark black armor! The heavy armor was dotted with mysterious runes. The statue's hands folded and barbed-clad steel gloves were folded flat on its chest, and it clutched a man-tall greatsword!

The half-foot-wide blade of the sword was indescribably heavy and cold, and the part that fell to the ground gradually widened, and began to retract at the tip of the sword. Smooth curves, full of violent beauty.

On its thick and broad shoulders, a heavy helmet with horns completely covered its head, and the two piercing spots of scarlet were located right in the eyes of the visor!

"Oh my goodness! This looks like a black knight! "I didn't ride the Nightmare though! Visually, this is exactly a black knight!

Zhou Qi muttered to himself as he stepped back. Because, when his eyes saw the hand holding the giant sword, it seemed to move!

The "statue" responded to his conjecture, and its scarlet eyes became brighter! With the snapping sound of metal on the joints! The giant sword, which can be called a murder weapon in the world, is raised high! With a strong wind pressure, he faced Zhou Qi and cut off his head!

A loud bang came from behind him, and the rubble flew past his ears with a screech. Immediately after, the sound of heavy footsteps accompanied by metal friction sounded!

"Damn! Chased it! Zhou Qi held the torch and ran desperately towards the iron gate. Think about that giant sword, with the short axe in his hand, what kind of joke.

He slammed through the doorframe, reflexively slammed the heavy iron door shut, and as he plugged in the deadbolt, cold sweat gurgled out of his pores, and his rapid breathing soothed his heart that was about to jump out of his mouth.

That's it!

With a deafening bang, the iron door flew out of the door frame with scattered masonry! slapped Zhou Qi on the back fiercely. The violent impact made him glide in the air for more than 10 meters like a straw blown away by the wind, and fell heavily to the ground.

With a "wow", he spurted out a large mouthful of blood. The strong desire to survive made him struggle to get up from the ground without bothering to wipe the blood stains from the corners of his mouth. Run forward with all your might.

Behind, not far away, there was the sound of metallic rumbling footsteps.

He peeked at the stats panel, and his health dropped by half. This almost directly knocked him into a state of serious injury.

"Rush out, maybe there is still a way to live!"

Like a wounded beast, he staggered and ran as hard as he could. In the ears, the sound of heavy footsteps gradually became smaller. Ahead, the sky is faintly revealed.

Just as he was about to reach the entrance of the passage.

"No, there's an archer out there! Damn it! Thinking of this, he changed his left hand to a wooden shield and protected it in front of him.

At the moment when he rushed out of the passage, there was a "whoosh", and an arrow flew by and nailed to the wooden shield!

At the top of the staircase, the Spirit Archer stretched out his bow and arrows, locking him firmly.

Zhou Qi held a wooden shield in his left hand, trying to cover his body as much as possible. The palm of the right hand is weak.

"Fire bomb!"

A warm stream of heat traveled down his arm to the palm of his hand, and the bright red crackling flames quickly formed a scorching ball of light in his hand.

Zhou Qi's arm pushed forward, and the light group crossed a clear trajectory, accurately hitting the spirit archer. There was a bang, and severed limbs and shredded flesh flew away. The shriveled body of the geist archer was blown in two! The flames attached to it made a crackling sound of burning dead wood. An unspeakable scorching stench reached his nostrils.

A terrible scream erupted from the mouth of the Spirit Archer. It's not dead yet!

"Fire bomb!"

Another fire bomb slammed into its stump. After the explosion, only a dilapidated iron box remained on the ground.

"Contractor No. 5106: Kill the Spirit Archer (Elite) to get 100 Blood Points."

"Contractor No. 5106 picked up the crude iron box, did you open it?"

"Turn on!"

"Contractor No. 5106 gets a slight recovery potion x1, a rough short bow x1, and a wooden arrow x30."

"Slightly restores the potion, restores 50 HP within 30 seconds, and removes the user's minor damage status. Can be used in battle. You definitely won't want to know what the raw materials used to make it are. ”

"Rough short bow, equipment grade, white ordinary. Ranged attack damage 20. It would definitely be a good idea to use it to shoot a boar's ass. Equipment requires 5 strength and 10 agility. ”

"Wooden arrows, equipment level, white ordinary. Ranged attack damage increased by 10. Remember to use firewood when you lack firewood to light a campfire. ”

Without any thought, Zhou Qi took out a slight recovery potion. I threw my head up and poured it into myself. A rancid smell in the gutter violently assaulted his taste buds. He didn't even squirt out.

Resisting the urge to vomit, he coughed violently. The stats panel shows that he is still in the middle of a fight, but his health is gradually starting to regenerate.

Just as his health was about to refill, rumbling footsteps could be heard in the passage behind him.

"Damn, it's really ghostly!"

Zhou Qi's right hand switched to a short axe, and he quickly ran up the stairs, running towards the corridor where he had encountered the spirit archers before.

Walk through the promenade and re-enter the deep tunnel that leads to the gates.

No torches were lit.

Zhou Qi groped for a corner, just in time to observe the tunnel exit. Silently sat down against the wall. Through the Blood Emblem, he saw that a day had passed since the mission time limit. He still has 48 hours to complete his mission.

Maybe it's because of the data, he can feel mentally exhausted. But there was not the slightest feeling of hunger. What kind of world is this? Is his arrival just a masochistic game? What exactly is the significance?

He doesn't have any answers at the moment. What is Regression? Where to return. Maybe after the mission is over, everything will be clear.

There was more excitement in his eyes. The shocking impact of magic made him unable to remain calm at the moment.

"Oh," he couldn't help but want to whistle. It's amazing to think back to the scene when the Spirit Archer was blown apart by the fireballs that flew out of his hands. In the novel, in the game, the powerful magic actually comes true in his dreams. This made him feel a little unreal in addition to his excitement.

"This task must be completed! I need to get to the bottom of it all. Zhou Qi's eyes were full of perseverance.

At the entrance, a faintly revealing corner of the sky was still a leaden gray, low and oppressive. Heavy footsteps filled with the smell of metal sounded at the end of the aisle!

He's coming!
