Chapter 213 Beast Temple


    “Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”


    ??A small black bat pounced directly on Duanmuhuai''s face with its claws, and pounced directly on his head.


    “Come and save me! Come and save me!”


    "Okay, okay, I understand, don''t be anxious..."


    Reluctantly, he stretched out his hand to take away the little bat that flew towards his face. Duanmu Huai also smiled bitterly and said.


    The mission of going to the Eternal City to find secret treasures was not as simple as Duanmu Huai thought. When he followed the map given by Lanni and went to a deeper level, he discovered that there was actually a huge underground cavity below. In this way, there is a shining starry sky in this underground cavity that looks like a 3D projection. This immediately reminded Duanmu Huai of what Ogis reported to him before, so he immediately contacted Ogis, who was indeed there. Here, and if Duanmu Huai guessed correctly, she is in the Eternal City.


    ?However, Ogis was unable to come out and join Duanmuhuai. She said that the entire city was closed and she could not find a way out, so Duanmuhuai asked her to wait patiently for the time being and then figure out a solution by herself.


    After that, Duanmu Huai met with the werewolf warriors waiting here, and learned that the Eternal City was sealed by a man named "Lataen". He could only defeat him and break his seal. Only then can the Eternal City reappear.


    ?So that means Duanmuhuai has to find Latarn and defeat him before he can go to the Eternal City. Latarn is currently located in the Red Lion City in Galede. As long as he can enter the Red Lion City, challenge and defeat Latarn, he can go to the Eternal City.


    ?Well, not surprisingly, eight out of ten tasks players receive are of this nature.


    ?When Duanmuhuai came to Galede, what he saw was a scarlet land, which immediately reminded Duanmuhuai that Bambi had told him that the temple she was in was such a place.


    As a result, before Duanmuhuai could talk to Bambi through telepathy, he saw a black bat crying and rushing towards him, confusing Duanmuhuai''s face.


    ?Even after all, it has been quite some time. Bambi has been hiding in the temple, but she has been wronged badly.


    ?At least Ogis and Lorena were still able to walk around and take a look. As a result, Bambi was hiding in the corner of the temple alone, not daring to move. It is easy to imagine that the feeling was definitely not a good one.


    With the bat leading the way, Duanmuhuai naturally didn''t have to waste time looking for the direction, so he put Latarn aside and picked up his cute little princess first.


    ??After all, how can an unshaven old man compare to his sweet-voiced little cutie?


    ? Along the way, Bambi also kept telling Duanmuhuai about his experiences.


    After being teleported to the temple, Bambi discovered that there was a huge guy in the temple, wrapped in black cloth. At first, Bambi wanted to say hello to him, but unexpectedly the guy just said nothing. He roared and hit him. Bambi was so frightened that he hurriedly ran for his life. As a result, he ran out of the temple and found a bird-headed monster standing outside. As a result, Bambi had to sneak back to the temple and hide quietly in the shadow of the ceiling of the temple. The atmosphere was Not even daring to take a breath.


    ?Hmm, it’s exactly like a bat.


    “That black guy is really weird. He stays in the temple and doesn’t go out. He mutters all day long and doesn’t know what he’s talking about. And he goes crazy at every turn... It’s scary!”


    Bambi didn’t dare to speak or move, so she had to summon a group of bats to go out and explore on her behalf.


    As a result...there are not many living people in this place, but there are quite a few monsters.


    Dogs with heads as big as dinosaurs, crows with few hairs, and dragons wriggling on the ground, covered in decay... Bambi''s bats were almost completely eaten by these monsters, and they were only so small. Two or three cats managed to escape the attack and ran to the border.


    ?Poor Bambi’s little heart is already riddled with holes.


    There''s nothing you can do about it. After all, Bambi''s consciousness is connected with these bats. Think about it, you are flying leisurely in the air, and suddenly a big dog head comes out from behind and bites you...


    That’s definitely not good for your heart.


    Duanmuhuai heard about the situation here from the werewolf warriors. Galid was not like this before, but later during the Broken War, the Valkyrie and Latan had a big fight here. Tarn put a Crimson Corruption on his forehead, and then both of them were injured. The Valkyrie ran away, and Tarn and Galid were infected by the Crimson Corruption.


    At the moment, the land is all scarlet, and all kinds of deformed creatures are emerging one after another, which is caused by the corruption of scarlet. Even Latarn himself was infected and eventually lost his mind, wandering around the Broken Battlefield like a human or a ghost.


    ?Hmm... If it weren''t for the fragments of the world here, Duanmu Huai would have doubted whether the Valkyrie was a believer or the chosen one of the God of Disease.


    ??It''s really shameless to release biological and chemical weapons if we can''t defeat it.


    Just as Bambi complained, Duanmuhuai saw all kinds of deformed creatures along the way, including dogs that looked like Tyrannosaurus rex, crows that were bigger than trucks, oh... and a group of unknown creatures. centipede man with long legs.


    To be honest, even Duanmu Huai, who has experienced many battles, felt his scalp numb when he saw the group of centipede people with centipede-like bodies and dozens of squirming legs on both sides of the body clicking towards him.


    ?This thing is much more disgusting than the Nurgle Beast.


    ?But fortunately, although the monsters here are disgusting, their combat power is not very strong. Except for the fact that Milfi was so frightened that she got into Duanmuhuai''s arms and did not dare to come out, there is nothing special worth paying attention to. On the contrary, the monster guarding the entrance of the temple took a lot of effort from Duanmuhuai... The flying guy is just not easy to deal with.


    “Boom!”


    As the bird-headed guard collapsed, Duanmu Huai also arrived at the gate of the temple. He stretched out his hand, pushed open the door, and walked into the temple. Immediately afterwards, a petite black figure jumped down from the ceiling, hugged Duanmuhuai''s neck, spun around, and got into his arms.


    “Family, you are finally here!”


    “Well, I’m here. Are you okay, little guy?”


    Looking at Bambi in front of him, Duanmuhuai also smiled and reached out to touch her little head, but Bambi immediately complained.


    "It''s not good at all. It''s dirty and smelly here. There''s no place to bathe, and there''s nothing to eat. I''m starving. How about you let me take a bite?"


    “I’ll take you to have a big dinner later……”


    ————!


    ?However, at this moment, Duanmuhuai suddenly heard an angry roar coming from the temple, and then he saw a huge black shadow rushing towards him. At this moment, Duanmu Huai did not hesitate, grabbed Bambi, jumped back quickly, and exited the temple.


    “Bang!!”


    ??The moment Duanmuhuai''s front legs left, the huge black shadow on his hind legs rushed over. It knocked open the heavy door of the temple and glared at Duanmuhuai fiercely.


    “…Little thief…how dare you appear in front of me!”


    “What are you talking about?”


    Duanmuhuai raised his eyebrows, then put Bambi behind him, motioned for her to take Milfi away, and at the same time grabbed the warhammer in his hand.


    “I don’t know a monster like you.”


    "...The breath of the death rune..." At this moment, another figure walked out from behind the huge monster. It was a warrior wearing a strange double-headed armor. He also stared at Duanmu Huai with a cold expression and raised his hand. Weapon in hand.


    “Did you steal the pieces of the Death Rune?”


    "Um?"


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had previously obtained the Black Knife Brand from the Black Knife Cemetery, and according to Roger, this brand was made by using some kind of ritual to remove the Death Rune fragments. Power pours into it...and so on.


    ?Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai stared at the people and monsters in front of him.


    “Are you the Black Sword Malikis?”


    “I will never let my destiny be stolen again!”


    ??The tall monster stared at Duanmuhuai and said coldly.


    “Give back the fragments! I will spare your life!”


    “That’s what I’m going to say, monster.”


    ? Duanmu Huai clenched the thunder warhammer, his eyes slightly focused.


    “Hand over your destined death, and I will give you a happy death.”


    “You can’t even hope to succeed.”


    At this moment, the warrior wearing the strange double-headed armor strode forward. He held his sword tightly and pointed at Duanmuhuai.


    “I——D, will never allow such evil deeds, suffer death, sinner!”


    “This is what I want to say! You cannot bear the price of disobeying the will of the Inquisition!”


    As soon as he finished speaking, Duanmu Huai clenched his war hammer and charged towards the warrior in front of him!


    "drink!"


    Facing Duanmu Huai''s attack, the soldier was not afraid at all. He held a big sword in his hand and stepped forward. The big sword in his hand suddenly swung down and struck at Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai, on the other hand, held the war hammer tightly with his backhand and threw it forward with all his strength. The roaring thunder war hammer hit the slashing sword, instantly knocking it over. Then Duanmu Huai suddenly rushed forward, as if he was furious. It hit the warrior''s body like a rhinoceros and knocked him away.


    “Roar——!”


    At this moment, the beast covered with a cloak also roared angrily. He raised his right hand and swung out a claw. The sharp and sharp knife wind roared to tear the ground and hit Duanmu Huai''s body. The next moment, only the head was seen. The beast jumped up and stabbed Duanmu Huai''s body with the dagger-like dagger in his hand.


    "it''s useless!"


    Following Duanmuhuai''s roar, invisible forces gathered in front of him and turned into a violent storm, rushing towards the huge beast and blowing it away. At this moment, the warrior stood up again, rolled to Duanmuhuai''s feet, and stabbed his back with force with the big sword in his hand.


    “Cang!”


    ??The big sword slashed at the outer layer of the power armor, and then was directly bounced away. At the same time, Duanmu Huai''s right hand suddenly swung out, and the thunder hammer that exploded swept over the warrior''s head.


    “Bang!”


    The next moment, the warrior''s body flew high into the sky, and then hit the ground heavily. Before he could get up again, Duanmu Huai stepped forward and kicked his body into pieces. .


    “Pfft!”


    The gold and silver armor twisted and shattered like a fragile insect shell under one step. However, at the same time, Duanmu Huai suddenly felt that in the pocket of his armor, the black knife brand placed inside seemed to sense. What, it started to emit a strange wave, and then, a bone-piercing force that seemed to freeze even the soul surged up quickly along his feet, all the way to the back of his left hand. When Duanmu Huai looked down, he saw half a strange ring on the back of his hand.


    ?It looks like a semicircle, and outside this semicircle, several twisted tentacle-like imprints emerge.


    ?At the same time, a system prompt appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.


    【Acquired Death''s Curse (Death Rune Fragment)】


    I see!


    Seeing this, Duanmu Huai''s thoughts suddenly changed and he understood the situation. It was obvious that Lani had stolen half of the death runes, and the other half was placed on this warrior - it seemed that he was also lucky. , it’s really hard to find anywhere, it takes no effort to get it... The other party brings it to the door by himself, which actually saves him the effort to search!


    "No---!!"


    ?At the same time, a roar sounded, and Duanmuhuai turned his head, only to see the beast staring at him viciously.


    “I will never allow you to take away the Death Rune!”


    “That’s nice to say, but wasn’t this something you snatched from someone else’s hand?”


    Duanmuhuai sneered at the rhetoric of beasts. You can rob me, but I can’t? Where in the world can such truth exist?


    “I will never allow…”


    As he said this, the beast raised the dagger in his hand, pointed it at the back of his left hand, and stabbed it hard!


    “Hey!”


    ?Seeing this scene, Bambi and Melphi were startled, and Duanmuhuai also raised his eyebrows.


    ??Be it Greg or this guy, why do all the bosses in this world like to chop their hands?


    Could it be that you are all members of the Japanese underworld? Cut off your finger at every turn?


    “O Death...become my sword once more.”


    However, this beast did not cut off his hand as Duanmu Huai thought. On the contrary, he slowly pulled out the dagger that was originally pierced into the back of his left hand. At the same time, a cold, trembling, black flame came out. Emerging from its body, it completely burned away the cloak that originally wrapped the beast.


    Under the cloak is a giant beast wearing black armor that looks like a werewolf.


    ————!!”


    ??The beast looked up to the sky and roared, then fell to the ground. The short sword in his hand had now turned into a large sword that was pitch black and burned with bright red light. The beast turned its head, its eyes filled with the cold light of death, staring at Duanmuhuai.


    “Suffer death, thief!”
