Chapter 26: Ophelis Manor (20)
Scarlet's gaze locked firmly on the intruder, blood spit slowly dripping down his chin, rusty armor embedded in flesh and blood fused with it, like a humanoid beast draped in iron skin!
"Roar!"
The beast struggled to raise its sword, then fell down with a bang, severing all the chains that bound it.
"Opelis...... Family...... Guard! β
With a roar, the beast leaped to its feet with its heavy sword, which was almost as long as his.
The wind howled, the smell of bloody rust came from the surface, and the heavy sword slashed down like a guillotine!
Can't catch it!
Chu Chen's brain made a judgment instantly, and the skill was dissolved as soon as possible, and at the same time, the five fingers released and threw away the kitchen knife, and his body quickly flashed towards the left rear.
"Bang!" The floor is cracked!
Seeing this, Chu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, this power, if he was hit, there would be absolutely no bones left.
The heavy sword smashed the ground, the beast roared angrily, its arm flipped over, and it changed from "vertical slash" to "horizontal slash" and swung straight out, completely sealing Chu Chen's retreat!
Not only the speed and power, but also the skill is far above me!
If this knife hits, it will definitely die, and the most important thing is that it cannot be avoided!
"You can break free of the chains casually, and you can easily open the door with your own key, you don't want to hurt your family and lock yourself up, right?"
"Even after death, the will to protect the family has not disappeared, which is really admirable." At the moment of life and death, Chu Chen did not see the slightest panic on his face, but opened his mouth with a smile,
"It's a pity that you're just a bloodthirsty beast with no sense, and the beast ...... Destined to be inferior to humans! β
In the next second, the shadow instantly came out of the ground, picked up the kitchen knife that fell on the ground, and pointed it at the throat of the beast!
Throw away the kitchen knife just so that the shadow can pick it up faster!
The beast that stepped on the shadow only reacted at this moment, but unfortunately it was too late!
"Poof!"
The sword light is like a shadow, the blood is like an injection, and the head rises to the sky!
His gaze flipped wildly, and he saw a familiar headless body.
My mind went blank, and pictures of long-buried memories flashed.
Birth, Parents, Battlefield, Knight, Knight, Knight......
In the end, the picture freezes on the three figures.
"Daddy! Lo and behold, Lilith and Taylorby are all fixed! β
"Father! It's an offer from the Royal Academy of Magic! I did it! β
"I know you, the guy who always rushes to the front, my name is Lisa, the new priest of the church, what's your name?"
"My ...... Family ......"
Blood sprayed on Chu Chen's face, and the beast's sword was powerless to swing out after all, and its headless body fell heavily.
"Family...... wiped the blood on his face, and Chu Chen silently picked up the heavy sword.
[Name: Black Iron Greatsword (Contaminated)]
[Type: Weapon]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Special Effect: Dealing damage will pollute the opponent's spirit (prolonged use will also pollute the holder)]
[Equipment Requirements: Strength, Spirit > 7]
[Note: An old friend who has accompanied Baron Ophelis on the battlefield for more than 20 years, and was later contaminated by the remains of an unknown evil god.] γ
Good news: this greatsword is not a plot item, it means it can be taken out!
Bad news: This big sword needs to have at least 8 points of strength and spirit, and Chu Chen can't use it at all at this stage!
"Death will lose all the items obtained in the trial world, you give me a big sword that I can't use, not only will I not be of any help at this stage, but I can't bring it out at all when I die."
Chu Chen scratched his head and called the shadow to rush into the storage room together: "How many people have died in order to go up to the third floor, there must be more than this piece of equipment here, don't give me such a slam on the door!" β
One person and one shadow turned over the storage room, and even the floor was not spared, and it was lifted up.
After a long time, he really had an extra item in his hand: "Ha, sure enough!" β
[Name: Statue of Pope Pushis (replica)]
γType: Consumablesγ
[Quality: Excellent]
[Effect: Crush the statue to obtain the Pope's blessing, causing allies within one meter of the surrounding area to gain the effect of "Immunity to Psychic Attack" for 5 minutes (too strong Psychic Attack is not immune)]
[Conditions of use: Non-fallen believers.] γ
[Note: Although it is a fake, it can also protect yourself.] γ
"Is there a gap between fakes?" Chu Chen smiled and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Immunity to psychic attacks is a very useful effect for this trial, and this trip has not been in vain.
"There's a way to deal with ghasts." Silently putting away the loot, Chu Chen was suddenly stunned, turned his head, and looked behind him with some vigilance,
"You can't even hide your own breath, so there's no point in hiding, right?"
After speaking, three figures slowly appeared in the back.
"Should I say thank you? It's been so smooth along the way, thanks to you guys helping me, right? Chu Chen's gaze swept over the three of them, frowning slightly.
The Baroness and her eldest daughter Jessica in the photo, as well as ...... Number 6?
Strange collocation.
The No. 6 short-haired woman led by her raised her eyebrows lightly and said with a smile: "Although the strength is very weak, the combat IQ is good, the perception is also very good, and the head is quite good, no wonder the last person to survive is not that white hair, but you." β
"You're the degenerate believer in the diary who 'fled to the manor with his heart, and was killed by the baron and buried under a tree'?" Chu Chen's brows furrowed even more, and he silently instructed the shadow to stand in front of him.
"Harm, don't mention it before you die." The short-haired woman waved her hand, looking helpless,
"It's just a lingering breath now, it's just food in someone else's stomach that hasn't been digested."
"So the curly-haired corpse buried under the tree outside the castle was done by you?" Chu Chen glanced at the other two figures again, and said,
"Also, why would the baron's family stay with you, the culprit?"
"No way, I was too weak at that time, and if I didn't eat the curly-haired brother, I wouldn't have enough strength to enter the castle." The short-haired woman shrugged her shoulders and continued,
"And the culprit is not me, now we are grasshoppers on a rope, although it is a good thing to have vigilance, I guess you wouldn't be alive without this vigilance.
But now that the situation is urgent, what I say next, please think about it, that guy is getting stronger and stronger in control of the manor, and we don't have much time left, you ...... The same is true. β
The short-haired woman stretched out her hand and pointed at Chu Chen's eyes, changing her previous lazy style, with a serious expression: "The vision is beginning to blur, and a red halo slowly appears, which is a precursor to 'being polluted'." β
"Contaminated?" Chu Chen subconsciously touched his eyes, and his vision was indeed getting more and more blurred.
"Yes, normally it wouldn't be that fast, but you've been exposed to so many 'contaminated' items that at this rate, the contamination will completely corrode you in less than five hours."
"Then you will become like the ghasts, hungry for flesh, hungry for blood, and gradually losing yourself."
Chu Chen frowned, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Is seven points true and three points false?" From the time I noticed the red halo to now, the blurring of my vision doesn't seem to be as fast as you say, huh?
Maybe 'tainted' is true, but there are only five hours left...... Actually, it's just a lie you made up to lure me into taking the risk of helping, right? β
"Do you know what we want you for?" The short-haired woman frowned.
Chu Chen smiled: "It's nothing more than killing the real culprit and then liberating you, isn't it?" β
The short-haired woman sighed and spread her hands helplessly: "No one told you that being too smart is not likeable?" β
Before she finished speaking, the other party's next sentence directly stunned her whole person.
"Give me benefits." Chu Chen opened his mouth.
"Huh?" The short-haired woman wondered if she had heard it wrong,
"You know what we want you to do, and you dare to say that? Are you really not afraid of death? β
"There is an old saying in my hometown, it is called, 'Hold the bold to death, starve to death the faint-hearted'." Chu Chen smiled meaningfully.
With his current configuration, he can't guarantee that he will survive 100% of the time until the end of the trial.
Now that someone has taken the initiative to send it to the door by himself, if he doesn't catch Xue Yibo, I'm sorry for the bloodline of his [gluttonous] name!
It doesn't matter what her goal is, let's get the benefits first!
As for whether to complete it or not, it is not up to him to say it at that time, and it is a big deal to run away depending on the situation.
Anyway, by that time, the benefits have already been obtained, can I still take things back?
"If you want me to help me desperately, at least you have to come up with a value that is in line with my life, right?"
"After all, our conditions are completely unequal, you are the only ones who are trapped in this manor and are in a hurry to get out, if I want to leave, I can leave at any time when the time comes."
Chu Chen grinned, narrowed his eyes and walked slowly towards the three of them, and slowly stretched out his right hand:
"Three ladies, you don't want yourself and your family to become those brainless ghasts, trapped by hunger all your life, and never be able to live forever, right?"
