John said that he was going to kill this monster, but it was not John's style to rush so recklessly. You know, in the past, when the fire was spreading, all kinds of traps emerged one after another, and the ambushed enemy could always rush out from the place where John was least alert and hit John hard, or a visible enemy lured John to attack, and the ambushed enemy rushed out to flank him, and every time John was killed by such an ambush trap, he would sit by the campfire and think about the solution, and over time he developed the habit of John's plan and then move. Although you can't die in a roundabout, it's not a good experience to be killed every time you are killed by various fancies.

This time is the same, before he starts, John has to explore the surrounding situation, to see if there are any traps, ambushes or terrain that he can use, only after the investigation is clear, John can have a ready to let go of his hands.

While the monster next to the blood pool was not paying attention to the doorway, John cautiously walked in and hid behind a pillar.

The space behind this hall can be seen in the past glory, the cave is about twenty meters high, even so, there are still several stone pillars standing around the main hall, supporting the cave, in the center of the main hall is a fountain statue, but now there is no water in it, all the blood is flowing, the monster has been circling around the blood pool, John guesses that this blood pool may have a special meaning for them.

Behind the vestibule and on the left and right are marble buildings, but the buildings on the left and right sides have collapsed, and only the rear building structure is still relatively intact, and you can still see the various patterns carved on the building.

John hid behind the stone pillar to avoid the monster's sweeping gaze, and when the monster didn't notice, he quickly hid behind one stone pillar and the other quickly, and quietly approached the monster.

By the time there was no more pillar between John and the monster that could be used as a block, John was less than thirty meters away from the monster. However, this distance will not be able to play a role in a surprise attack if it is discovered just after going out. John could only wait for the monster to move forward around the pool of blood and be obscured by the statue, first walking slowly, trying not to make a sound, and when the distance was close to ten meters, John held a spear in both hands, and the draw was waist-high, and launched a charge against the monster with his back to him.

The sound of John's running footsteps disturbed the monster, and when John was still four meters away from it, he turned around. "This monster's hearing is not as strong as I thought. John thought, "Or maybe not sensitive enough to detect me quickly." ”

As he was thinking, John's hand didn't stop. The spear in his hand stabbed diagonally upward, and the head of the spear pierced out under the combined effect of John's impact and the thrust of his hand, and only a "poof" sound was heard, and it had already stabbed into the monster's abdomen. John felt the touch of the spear in his hand and frowned slightly: "It's tougher than I imagined." It's a bit of a hassle. ”

The monster was hit with a thump of pain, and the pain made it want to scream. How could John make it really make a sound, let go of the spear with his right hand, pulled out the one-handed sword at his waist upside down, borrowed the technique of Iai, and wiped it directly at the monster's neck, and at the same time turned the monster's swinging right hand to the side with his left hand. After the blow was successful, John took a step back with the sword in his right hand, and his left hand was against the hilt of the sword, and his left and right hands stabbed upwards at the same time, and stabbed the wound cut by the sword on the neck just now, and stabbed directly into the monster's brain along the wound, and then immediately drew the sword and jumped back, avoiding the monster's dying struggle.

The monster struggled twice, but did not hit John, glared at John unwillingly, and died. John felt an increase in the soul, about 100 points. Of course, the point is not this amount, the ability to absorb souls already shows the death of this monster.

I feel that this monster is more difficult to deal with than I imagined, the scales on their bodies give them strong defense, and they are also very strong, the only drawback is that they are not agile and flexible enough. But the thought that there were at least two more such enemies in the future made John feel a little tricky, especially when there was a priest by their side. This combination reminded John of the combination of the Knights of Los Rick and the Priest of Lustrick in the city of Lustrick, the priest would help the knights, give them blessings, and heal wounds, while the knights would desperately protect the priest from harm.

Looks like the cloaked man is going to be dealt with as soon as possible, John thought to himself. But this is not an easy task, just like the knight of Lothric protects the priest of Lothric, and you don't have to think about it to know that those two monsters will also stop their own attack. And that priest is not a character who will only help monsters bless and heal, the two robbers also said, at least the cloaked man will also release the attack of poisonous mist with one hand.

The problem is, I don't have a long-range weapon at hand right now, can I still count on that shortbow? John was in trouble. Glancing around, John's eyes were fixed on the door to enter the main hall, and an idea suddenly came to mind.

In front of the gate there is a foyer, which extends outward. The pillars of the foyer are carved with a variety of delicate patterns. John climbed up to the top of the foyer and leaned on it to gaze at the stone staircase that would surely pass as he entered the Great Cavern from the cave.

According to John's observations, this location has a good view, allowing easy observation of the people entering the Great Hollow and their location, and since the entrance hall has a protruding decorative eaves at the top, John only needs to show his eyes to observe his surroundings, which is difficult to spot.

After a while, John saw the Cloaked Man return with the two monsters. As previously suspected, the two robbers at the door were carried back by the monster. Sure enough, the two robbers just now were the hands of this cloak man, and now there is no one in this robber stronghold, and it is estimated that they were also made sacrifices by black hands, and the blood pool is estimated to have come from this.

John watched as they slowly approached the foyer, and John jumped down from the foyer with his sword, striking the cloaked man with a heavenly blow. There was only a "poof" sound, and the sword in John's hand was inserted through the cloaked man's back and out of his lower abdomen, causing the cloaked man to die under the sword without any reaction.

After the Cloaked Man was dealt with with with one blow, John didn't have time to rejoice, immediately let go of the sword he was holding, lunged forward, dodged the attack of the two monsters, and then immediately ran towards the foyer. Seeing that John had dodged their attack and ran, the two monsters directly lifted the robber they were carrying and threw it at John like a stone. John heard the wind coming from behind him, and hurriedly dodged to the right, but he didn't expect to dodge the first blow, and before he dodged the second blow, he fell to the ground with a smashed head.

When John got up and looked back, the two monsters had already chased after him, waving their arms and claws to catch John. John hurriedly rolled forward, dodged the attack once more, got up, drew the spear stuck in his back, turned around and stabbed it out, and stabbed it directly into the abdomen of the pursuing monster. John took the spear and twisted it, and then picked it up, and with John's experience, the monster's intestines were already broken.

The monster let out a high-pitched, piercing scream from the sharp pain coming from its abdomen. John drew his spear, and the monster lost its support and fell to the ground. Seeing that this monster had lost its combat effectiveness, John was not in a hurry to come to the final blow, and looked vigilantly at the one coming behind him with both guns in his hands.

The monster also seemed to see that John was not to be messed with, and did not attack as before, but spread his five fingers and raised his hands in front of his chest, as if it was his defensive stance. John held a gun and tried to attack its abdomen, and the monster would wave its claws to block the attack, and the monster would grab its claws at John from time to time, and John slapped it away. After you tried back and forth twice, the monster swung its right claw again, and John did not withdraw his spear to defend after slapping it away this time, but directly used the spear head to slash the monster's right shoulder. The monster screamed and jumped backwards to get out of the way. John did not give up the pursuit, and continued to step forward, the spear in his hand continued to stab attacks, so that the monster kept blocking and retreating, compressing the range of movement. Defending it for a long time, John's spear stabbed out left wounds on the monster's body from time to time. Eventually, due to the prolonged blood loss, the monster's physical strength began to decline, and John found an opportunity to stab it in the throat, resulting in its death.

After John had absorbed his soul, he rested for a while with his spear kicked. After John got his breath, he remembered that there was another monster in the back that had lost his combat effectiveness, and he picked up the gun and turned his head to finish it, and then found that the monster that fell to the ground had died with his stomach in his arms, and there was still a point of light on the corpse. John walked over and picked up the point of light, a gem—right?

"Jemiro Holy Power Crystal: The crystal condensed by the holy power in the body of Jemiro's followers, and when used, it can be used to create a blessed equipment blessed by Jamero's priest. Material (Miracle)"

What the hell is this? John said he had never seen anything like this. John was a little confused, he used gems to transfer weapons before, and they were all inlaid on them, is this also how this is used? and what the hell is the miracle noted in the back?

Forget it, I'll think about this slowly later. Now let's go and wake up Lawrence and the others who are still alive. John turned around and walked towards Lawrence and the others who were trapped next to the pool of blood, cutting the ropes from their bodies with a spear, grabbing one of them by the shoulder and shaking it without responding. John tried the others again, but none of them looked like they were about to wake up. It seems that they are cursed, and this is not something that John can solve now. John remembered the fork in the road, and estimated that the cattle belonged to the merchants, and was going to go there and bring them in and carry them away.

When he went out, John remembered that his one-handed sword was still on the cloaked man, so let's go and retrieve it. As soon as John, who was thinking like this, went out of the hall, he saw a point of light on the corpse of the cloaked man in front of the foyer. First pulled out the sword from the cloaked man, picked up the light and looked at it, it turned out to be the book in the cloaked man's hand. John, who was about to walk and watch, had just walked up the stone stairs when he heard a noise coming from the cave, and a group of people came out of the cave, led by one of the Church Knights of the Eternal Radiant Sun Sect who had recruited adventurers in Betty City before.
