Chapter 170 Picked up one... (It’s snowing heavily today)


    After resting for a day, Duanmuhuai and others set out again and came to the dark cave tomb.


    “To be honest, I’m really fed up with these **** missions...”


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


    ?Of course, there are even more annoying things.


    “You **** vigilantes…”


    ??The vampire whose head was grabbed by Duanmuhuai glared fiercely at Gu Lei beside him, his eyes glowing bright red. These vampires attacked Duanmu Huai and others the moment they entered the cave. Unfortunately, they were obviously no match for Duanmu Huai. Except for the unlucky guy who was caught by Duanmu Huai, the other vampires They have all become his dead souls.


    “What are you looking for here? Answer me!”


    Duanmuhuai mentioned the vampire and glared at him fiercely. Under the light of the torches in the cave, the rabbit helmet stained with blood and grinning looked crazy and terrifying. Seeing this scene, Gu Leiya hit him She trembled and turned her head silently - last night she had a nightmare, dreaming of a rabbit bigger than herself, catching people like this and eating them as carrots. At that time, Gulea was so scared that she could only hide under the bed and not move.


    She still remembered how the rabbit in the dream showed a ferocious smile, 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 replaying itself.


    The vampire seemed to have the same feeling. Faced with the terrifying rabbit painting in front of him, it hurriedly shouted loudly.


    “I, I don’t know either! We were just following orders! They told us to find something locked in this tomb and bring it back! That’s all I know!”


    “Then you’re useless.”


    As soon as he finished speaking, Duanmu Huai grasped the vampire''s head with his right hand, and then twisted and pulled it like opening the cap of a Coke bottle, and directly broke the vampire''s head from its body. , and then casually threw the headless body and head to the ground.


    ————


    Seeing this scene, Gu Leiya even let out a low cry. Although it was not the first time, but... no matter how many times she saw it, she still couldn''t get used to it.


    “Well, now it looks like at least we have good news.”


    Duanmuhuai clapped his hands and turned to look at Gu Leiya and the vigilant.


    “Since these vampires are still here, it means they haven’t found that thing yet, which means 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 of people set off again. It didn''t take much time for them to reach the depths of the underground cemetery.


    When they walked through the passage and reached 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 circular altar that looks like some kind of ritual place. At this moment, several vampires were walking around the altar, seeming to be investigating something.


    “Sir Knight, shall we come up?”


    “No, wait a minute.”


    ?However, to Gu Leiya''s expectation, Duanmuhuai did not take action immediately this time. On the contrary, he grabbed Gu Leya and the vigilant and signaled them to hide.


    “Mr. Knight?”


    “Wait here, it’s obvious that they are looking for that something. In that case, we just wait for them to find it, and then go out and 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, solved the puzzles, broke the mechanisms, and finally obtained the artifact located in the tomb after all the hard work, but then turned around and Being blocked by the villain and his army, he triumphantly demanded that the player hand over the artifact or die...


    For players, this kind of plot is extremely disgusting!


    Why is I the mantis and the boss the oriole?


    Can’t it be the other way around?


    ??And usually in this situation, it is a plot kill. Is this looking down on the player''s combat effectiveness? If this wasn''t a cutscene, I would have pulled out my gun and shot the SB villain in the head! Or just smash the artifact directly in front of the villain, which is better than such a disgusting plot!


    Besides, even if you hand over the artifact obediently, wouldn''t it be the same as death? We are all villains, yet we still expect the other party to be trustworthy? Does this protagonist have a brain?


    Hey, I want to be an oriole now!


    "Well…………"


    ?Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, both Gulea and the vigilante had complicated expressions. After all, in their opinion, this approach was somewhat unorthodox - but after thinking about it carefully, they had no objection. After all, there may be some kind of vampire artifact hidden in it. Maybe only vampires can open it?


    ?The vampires who were busy on the platform below obviously didn''t know that there were three siskins waiting to eat above them. These vampires seemed to have discovered something. Soon, one of them walked to the pillar in the center of the circular platform and placed his hand on it.


    “Click!”


    The next moment, the sharp thorns bounced up and penetrated directly through the back of the vampire''s hand. This also made the vampire wailed and collapsed 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 bank. Then, a faint purple flame emerged from it, forming a strange pattern. As for the vampire, he had turned into a mummy after draining his blood.


    “Tsk tsk tsk.”


    Seeing this, Duanmuhuai also shook his head, and then looked at the two people.


    “Look, it’s a shame we’re not the ones delivering it.”


    …………”


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


    At this time, the remaining vampires pushed the torches on the platform and placed them in the appropriate position. Then they saw the originally sealed floor in the middle sliding open to all sides, and then, a huge stone pillar appeared from it. rising.


    It’s now!


    “Let’s go!”


    ?Looking at the joy on the faces of the vampires, and just as he was about to go over and open the box, Duanmu Huai roared, jumped down, raised his war hammer high, and jumped directly towards the platform!


    Hahaha, now it’s your turn to taste the taste of the oriole behind you!


    It turns out that some plots work just as well when they are reversed.


    The vampires who had unlocked the mechanism and were about to open the stone pillar did not expect that they would be cut off. When Duanmu Huai jumped down and rushed towards them, the faces of these vampires were full of surprise and surprise. . But it''s obvious that Duanmu Huai won''t waste time by talking nonsense like those idiot bosses in the plot CG. After all, as long as he kills them, that thing will be his!


    So, the villains in those cutscenes are all idiots. Wouldn’t it be better to just shoot the protagonist from a distance with a black gun and then send someone to recover the things? Why do you have to ramble on and on about nonsense? Apart from raising the player''s blood pressure and making them want to kill each other, it seems to have no benefit at all.


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


    “Boom!!”


    With the last vampire''s head smashed into pulp, the battle came to an end. At the same time, Gu Leiya and the vigilant also came to Duanmu Huai''s side.


    “Okay, now it’s time to open the box.”


    Duanmu Huai rubbed his hands, stepped forward, and motioned for the two of them to step back. After all, no one knows what''s inside, so it''s better to be cautious.


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


    However……


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


    “Is this... a person??”


    Just as the warning person said, there is a person in the stone pillar at this moment.


    To be precise, it’s a teenage 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-like headdresses on both sides of her head. If you just look at it like this, then the girl in front of you is just She just looks like an ordinary noble lady.


    “This...is the treasure???”


    ?Looking at the girl in front of her, Gu Leiya was also confused. She originally thought that the vampire who had spent so much effort to find it must be some kind of artifact, but... it was actually a girl? Is there something special about this girl?


    "I see."


    On the contrary, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene. He had not forgotten that Azula had told him before that the vampires used to transform Azula''s Star in order to **** the soul into it and control it - now It seems that it is already clear who the modified version of Azura''s Star is intended to be used on... huh?


    ?At this moment, Duanmuhuai discovered a long, golden columnar object carried on the girl''s back. It looks like a huge scroll, about the same height as a girl. It is inlaid with gems and silver patterns. You can tell at a glance that this thing must be worth a lot of money.


    The moment he saw the scroll, the vigilant''s eyes suddenly widened.


    “That’s...The Elder Scroll?!”
