Chapter 170 Picked up one... (it's snowing heavily today)

After resting for a day, Duanmuhuai and the others set off again and arrived at the dark cave tomb.

"To be honest, I'm really fed up with these damn missions..."

Walking into the cave in front of him, Duanmu Huai also complained to himself. Although for players, basically all tasks are like this, but the reality is not a game. Although the scenery is not bad, but Running around like this is indeed a bit annoying.

Of course, there are more annoying ones.

"You damn vigilantes..."

The vampire whose head was being grabbed by Duanmuhuai stared fiercely at Gu Lei beside him, his eyes were bright red. These vampires attacked Duanmu Huai and others the moment they entered the cave, but unfortunately, they were obviously not Duanmu Huai's opponents. Except for this unlucky ghost who was caught by Duanmu Huai, the other vampires They have all become the dead souls under his hammer.

"What are you looking for here? Answer me!"

Duanmu Huai mentioned the vampire, and stared at him viciously. Under the light of the torches in the cave, the blood-stained, grinning rabbit helmet looked crazy and terrifying. Seeing this scene, Gu Leya hit him. Trembling, she turned her head silently——last night, she had a nightmare dreaming that a rabbit bigger than herself was grabbing people and eating them as carrots. At that time, Guleya was so frightened that she dared to hide under the bed without moving.

She still remembers how the rabbit in the dream showed a ferocious smile, and then grabbed the person with both hands and put it in its mouth to eat it like a carrot.

Hmm... Looking at the scene in front of me, it was like a nightmare repeating itself.

And that vampire seemed to feel the same way, facing the scary rabbit painting in front of him, it hurriedly shouted loudly.

"I, I don't know either! We are just following orders! It is said that we should find something locked in this tomb and bring it back! That's all I know!!"

"Then you are useless."

As soon as the words fell, I saw Duanmu Huai holding the vampire's head tightly with his right hand, and then twisting and pulling like opening the cap of a Coca-Cola bottle, directly twisting and pulling the vampire's head from its body , and then casually threw the headless body and head on the ground.

"Alas-----"

Seeing this scene, Guleya screamed even more, although it was not the first time, but... No matter how many times I watched it, I couldn't get used to it.

"Well, it looks like, at least we have good news."

Duanmuhuai clapped his hands, then turned to look at Guleya and the vigilantes.

"Since these vampires are still here, it means that they haven't found that thing yet, that is to say, we still have a chance."

Just like Duanmuhuai said, the vampires in this tomb have not yet found a certain artifact hidden in it. Soon, the group set off again, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the depths of the underground cemetery.

And when they walked through the passage and came to the deepest part of the cemetery, the scene in front of them still surprised everyone.

In the depths of this tomb, there is an underground lake, and in the center of the lake, there is a large round altar that looks like some kind of ritual place. At this moment, several vampires were walking around on the altar, as if they were investigating something.

"Mr. Knight, shall we go?"

"No, wait a minute."

However, to Guleya's surprise, Duanmu Huai didn't act immediately this time. On the contrary, he grabbed Guleya and the vigilantes and signaled them to hide.

"Mr. Knight?"

"Wait here. It's obvious that they're looking for that or something. If that's the case, we'll just wait for them to find it before going out to grab it!"

Staring at the busy vampires on the platform below, Duanmuhuai also showed a ferocious sneer.

There are similar situations in many exploration missions, that is, the player worked hard to get into the tomb, solve the puzzles, break the mechanism, and finally obtained the artifact located in the tomb after a lot of hardships, but turned around Blocked by the villain and the army, he triumphantly asked the player to hand over the artifact or die...

For players, this kind of plot can be described as disgusting!

Why is Lao Tzu a praying mantis and the boss a squirrel?

Can't it be reversed?

And generally this kind of occasion is a plot kill, is this looking down on the player's combat effectiveness? If it wasn't for the cutscene, I would have shot the SB villain headshot on the spot! Or simply smashing the artifact in front of the villain, it's better than such a disgusting plot!

Besides, even if he obediently handed over the artifact, wouldn't he still be dead? They are all villains, and you still expect the other party to be trustworthy? How much does the protagonist have a brain?

Hey, I'm going to be a titmouse now!

"Well…………………"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Guleya and the vigilantes both had complicated expressions. After all, in their opinion, this kind of approach was a little bit unreasonable—but if they thought about it carefully, they didn't object. After all, what is hidden in it may be some kind of vampire artifact, maybe only vampires can open it?

The vampires who were busy on the platform below obviously didn't know that there were three orioles waiting to eat up there at the moment. These vampires seemed to have discovered something, and soon, one of the vampires walked up to the pillar in the center of the circular platform and put his hand on it.

"Crack!"

The next moment, a sharp thorn bounced up instantly, directly piercing through the back of the vampire's hand, which also made the vampire groan and collapse to the ground. Immediately afterwards, his blood flowed down from his arm, flowing into the grooves engraved on the platform like a flood that broke a dike, and then, dark purple flames emerged from it, forming a strange pattern.

As for the vampire, he had already turned into a mummy because of the blood shed.

"Tut tut."

Seeing this, Duanmuhuai also shook his head, then looked at the two of them.

"Look, it's a good thing we didn't send it."

"........."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's emotion, the two had nothing to say. Indeed, if this was the way to break the seal, then they would not be willing to sacrifice their own blood... After all, this would kill people!

At this moment, the remaining vampires pushed the torches on the platform and put them in a suitable position, and then saw the originally sealed floor in the middle slide away, and then, a huge stone pillar came out of it. rising.

It's now!

"Let's go!"

Seeing those vampires showing joy, when they were about to open the box, Duanmuhuai let out a roar, jumped down, held up the war hammer, and jumped directly towards the platform!

Hahaha, now it's your turn to taste the taste of the oriole! !

As it turns out, certain plots can be just as effective when reversed.

The vampires who unlocked the mechanism and were about to open the stone pillar did not expect that they would be taken back. When Duanmu Huai jumped down and rushed towards them, the faces of these vampires were full of surprise and astonishment. . But obviously, Duanmuhuai will not waste time like those idiot bosses in the plot CG, after all, as long as you kill them, that thing will be yours!

So, the villains in the cutscenes are all idiots. Wouldn’t it be better to just shoot a black gun in the distance to kill the protagonist and then send someone to recover the things? Why do you have to babble nonsense? Apart from making the player's blood pressure rise and wishing to kill the opponent, it seems to have no benefit at all.

Um? Or is it the purpose of these idiot villains to deliberately mock the players? So that the player can tear them to shreds later?

"Boom!!!"

With the head of the last vampire being smashed into meat paste, the battle ended completely, and at the same time, Guleya and the vigilantes also came to Duanmuhuai's side.

"Okay, now it's time to open the box."

Duanmu Huai rubbed his hands, walked forward, and at the same time motioned for the two to back off. After all, no one knows what is inside, so be careful.

Just as Duanmuhuai put his palm on the surface of the stone pillar, with the sound of "rumbling", soon, the front part of the stone pillar slid down, revealing the treasure inside.

However…………

When they saw clearly the treasure hidden in the stone pillar, all three of them widened their eyes in surprise.

"Is this... a person??"

Just as the vigilante said, there is a person inside the stone pillar at this moment.

To be exact, it was a ten-year-old girl.

She has light brown hair, wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and a gothic skirt full of lace, and a pair of bat-wing headdresses on both sides of her head. If you just look at it like this, then the girl in front of you is just Just like an ordinary noble lady.

"This... is the treasure???"

Looking at the girl in front of her, Gu Leya also looked confused. She thought that the vampire had spent so much time looking for it, it must be some kind of artifact, but...it was a girl? Is there something special about this girl?

"I see."

On the contrary, Duanmuhuai narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene. He didn't forget that Azura told himself before that the vampires used to transform Azura's star in order to suck the soul into it and control it—— Now it seems that it is clear at a glance who the remodeled Azura Star is intended for... Huh?

At this moment, Duanmuhuai found a long, golden columnar object on the girl's back. It looks like a huge scroll, about the height of a girl, with gems and silver patterns inlaid on it, one can tell at a glance that this thing must be of great value.

And the moment he saw the scroll, the vigilant's eyes straightened.

"That's... an ancient scroll?!"
