Chapter 247: The Scarlet Festival
A group of people shuttled through the chaotic city.
Frenzied depraved believers scurried through the streets, and every now and then loud noises and screams could be heard in the distance.
Everywhere there is blood and corpses that have been frozen in low temperatures, and garbage, glass shards and shards of shop doors tumble in the wind, highlighting the chaos throughout the city.
When a few of the depraved believers saw the crowd, they rushed at once, their faces frantically and their mouths muttering strange prayers that only made people feel creepy.
But before they could get closer, they were bombarded in the head by a dense barrage of bullets.
It was the Silver Dragon Escort who struck.
Captain Xixi led five team members to follow Chen Lun "on the expedition", and the rest stayed in the branch building of the Chamber of Commerce to protect ordinary people.
The long-barreled flintlock pistols of the team members are extremely powerful, not like ordinary muskets, but more like extraordinary things.
Their marksmanship was also very accurate, and after a few shots, all the bullets hit the head, and before the fallen believers could transform, they lost their heads and fell to the ground.
The headless depraved believers twitched and writhed on the ground, and countless fleshy tentacles poked out of their necks and waved wildly, but they also lost their threat.
The tenacious vitality can also support them to live for a while.
Sissi lowered his long-barreled flintlock pistol, and with a gesture, commanded his men to step forward and chop the fallen believers on the ground into pieces to prevent further trouble.
The sound of snorting was incessant, and the blood was splattered all over the floor, and it was steaming.
Stan and Nalan secretly exclaimed.
They glanced up at the owl hovering in the sky, and then at the gentleman in black, who was at the front.
"I have to say that it was a bold decision to hunt the Red Apple Church in reverse."
Nalan sighed.
"Who knows if this person is really capable, or if he is pretty."
Stan replied.
They couldn't help but think of the surprised expressions of the officials of the Constellation and the Star Sect who were guarding the entrance and exit when they first entered the "Red Calamity" city.
Now the living are fleeing for their lives in the upper city, and they are still running to the lower city.
It's a bit confusing.
A female captain of the Star Sect kindly reminded her that the city was very dangerous, so don't set foot lightly.
But Mr. Jack responded with a smile and a simple word of thanks, and walked into the city without looking back.
I really don't know where he got his confidence.
At this moment, Mr. Jack, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Sisiha, who was on the side, let out a white breath and asked softly.
Chen Lun just chuckled softly:
"Caught the first ......"
With that, he turned around and threw a few cards to his left.
Hugh Hugh Hugh ......!
The card knife sliced through the air, shattering the window on the third floor of a building on the left-hand side, and a dark red figure flashed inside.
In the afterglow of everyone, a black trench coat was raised, and Jack disappeared.
Take a closer look.
Only one card was left on the spot.
"What about others?"
"I don't know, it should be Jack's supernatural means."
"What happened? In that building just now, it was the transcendent of the Red Apple Church?! ”
Several people exchanged briefly, and finally Stan asked out loud.
The next second.
"Yes."
Chen Lun's voice came, answering his question.
Everyone immediately saw that the gentleman in black appeared again, as if by magic.
He held his hat in one hand and a man in the other, and returned leisurely.
The man in Jack's hand was seriously injured and dying, paralyzed, with his head down and coughing up blood. In his left chest, a large pit was recessed, and it seemed that he had received a terrible blow.
The rising heat is visible to the naked eye.
This man was wearing a crimson monk's uniform peculiar to the Red Apple Church, and everyone immediately recognized his identity.
"It's a mid-sequence transcendent...... Around his neck, he also wears the priest pendant of the Red Apple Church. ”
Cumberland said in a deep voice.
Stan, Nalan, and Sissi's expressions changed slightly.
In such a short period of time, Jack beat this Sequence 7 priest hidden in the shadows to a serious injury, and grabbed it like a dead dog?!
What kind of strength is he?!
Everyone's minds turned, and once again refreshed their predictions for Jack.
Chen Lun threw his hand away and threw the unknown priest in his hand to the ground.
He turned his silver cane, and with a thud Hugh, the sharp end of his tail was aimed at the man's neck, and asked softly:
"What is the purpose of you hiding in the city and hunting other living people?"
"Poof......
The man vomited a mouthful of blood, and the injury on his left chest was just the one that was shattered by the punch of the black-hatted young man who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"You're all going to die, without exception...... Her Majesty Pope Dolomy Purnis is Madame Rose's favorite curler, who will rise from the Garden of Roses, break out of the fruit of death, and lead the world to accomplish the cause of our religion! ”
The priest of the Red Apple Church looked frenzied, muttered something unintelligible to others, and then laughed wickedly.
"Hahahaha......!"
Chen Lun frowned slightly, remembered the other party's words in his heart, and then stabbed out the silver cane in his hand.
A sharp snake tail pierced the priest's neck.
The transcendent flames spread down the glove onto the silver cane until it set the priest on fire.
Rumble!
"Uh...... Hiss...... Yes! ”
The priest struggled and wailed in the flames, but his throat was pierced and he could not make a full sound.
The onlookers were forced back by the heat and watched in shock as the man was burned alive.
The ice crystals that had condensed on the ground around it had melted into boiling water, and the ground was even coke in veins.
[Kill Father Wilder of the Red Apple Church (Sequence 7 - Ghoul) to gain 10,000 XP!] 】
Chen Lun ignored the prompt box and frowned slightly.
He noticed that nothing had left on the dark ground.
The Flesh Faction's Transcendental is tenacious, and to ensure that he is killed as soon as possible, he uses Transcendent Flames.
The other party's corpse was burned to ashes, and his spirit was incomplete, so naturally he would not leave a trick.
But even the most basic mysterious substance has disappeared, which seems a bit unusual.
'Strange...... This violates the second law of the transcendent, the law of increasing entropy, which states that transcendent properties do not disappear or decrease, but only increase......
Chen Lun pondered slightly.
Was it taken away by some invisible force? Or is it something else ......? ’
At this time, Stan and Nalan walked up to Chen Lun and asked:
"Mr. Jack, what are we going to do next?"
Their expressions were a little more respectful than before, and it was obviously the hand just now that shocked the two of them.
Chen Lun didn't answer them immediately.
He put his mind down and secretly opened the panel to take a look.
[Trigger Main Quest: Crimson Festival!] 】
Ring 2: The Church of the Red Apple causes unrest in the empire, plunging various regions into chaos.
Do your best to stop the spread of the plague, purge the fallen faithful, and destroy the Red Apple Church branch. Each time you successfully clear the "Red Plague" in a region, you will get the corresponding main quest contribution points, and the accumulated contribution points will carry over to the settlement of the third ring.
Quest reward: After the completion of the main story of the second ring, it will be settled according to the contribution degree. (Prize Pools - XP, Coins, Regional Popularity, Imperial Contribution, Official Extraordinary Institution Favorability, Special Attribute Points, Blessing Points, etc.) )
[Main Quest: Crimson Festival (in progress)]
Current Area: Trasur Empire, Jewel State Snow Crystal City.
Objectives: Clergy of the Red Apple Church, Fallen Believers (78/590), Monk of the Transcendent (0/20), Father of the Transcendent (1/5), Bishop of the Transcendent (0/1).
'Hmm...... Just deal with the priests and bishops who pose the most threat, after all, they are all mid-order transcendents...... As for the rest of the trash fish, it will be handed over to the official to finish. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
The second part of the main quest triggered on its own some time ago, which should be about the same time as the player received a prompt from the whole server, which is the conclusion he came to by browsing the game forums.
But he knows that his main quest must be different from that of the player.
The regional quest in Snow Crystal City was triggered when he and Noah came here, and it was part of the second ring of the main story.
This is also why, he will directly use force to force the top of the Chamber of Commerce to make all transcendents obey his orders.
First, through the information on the task panel, Chen Lun clearly knew that the original plan of the chamber of commerce's top management would not work at all.
Second, he also wants to take the opportunity to complete this task and get enough contribution.
Not only can you help Noah and Rosa save the Chamber of Commerce, but also benefit yourself, why not.
Of course, there are also some emotions in this that want to teach Kaibuck that.
"I need you three Transcendental Organizations to each go hunt down a Red Apple Church priest."
Chen Lun looked at Stan, Nalan and Cumberland.
With a gesture of his hand, three owls flew over and landed on his shoulder.
"These three little ones will lead the way for you, and the targets are hidden in different areas."
Looking at the somewhat vigilant expressions of Stan and the others, Chen Lun raised his eyebrows and explained:
"I don't need to use you as cannon fodder, it's just that I don't have the skills to deal with them...... In order to prevent them from escaping during the hunt, they need to hunt and kill at the same time, and not let any of them go.
Those priests are only Sequence 7 transcendents, so there are so many of you, you can't handle it, right? Rest assured, the bishop of the Red Apple Church, who poses the greatest threat, will be dealt with by me personally. ”
When Stan heard this, his heart was relieved. After thinking about it for a few seconds, he nodded.
Chen Lun looked at the Silver Dragon Escort again.
"Captain Sissi, you're going to deal with another priest, and with him, there are some low-order monks......"
Sissy held the hilt of the knife at his waist and held his beret to Chen Lun's chin to express his agreement with the decision.
Chen Lun patted Noah on the shoulder again.
"Noah, you should go with Sissy and them."
"Hmmm! Mr. Jack! ”
Noah nodded in response.
The temporary team was divided into five squads, except for Chen Lun himself, the other squads were equipped with an owl to lead the way.
Finally, when they parted, Noah turned around and said solemnly to Chen Lun:
"Mr. Jack, please be careful."
"Don't worry, Noah, and I wish you a smooth promotion."
Chen Lun smiled and nodded.
