The violent lightning instantly directed towards the armored knight leader.
“Roar~”
The armored knight commander howled in pain, but did not fall down immediately. Even though smoke began to come out of his body, he still held on tightly and stretched out his left hand to grab Shen Qiu forcefully.
Seeing this, Shen Qiu's pupils suddenly shrank and he let out a low growl.
"die!"
Countless lightning bolts burst out from Shen Qiu's body, instantly covering the armored knight commander in all directions.
When the lightning faded, the armored knight leader fell down unwillingly.
Shen Qiu turned his head to look at Yun Xiaoxi, only to see Yun Xiaoxi waving the Blue Sky Blade to kill the last armored knight and walking towards him.
When Yun Xiaoxi walked to Shen Qiu's side, she said to Shen Qiu very happily.
"This Blue Sky Blade is so useful. If I had used my previous weapon, it would have been very difficult to kill these armored knights."
"It's important to have a handy weapon. Let's not talk about that for now. Let's see what's in this guard post."
Shen Qiu nodded and said.
"good."
Yun Xiaoxi was not chatting.
Shen Qiu reached out and pushed open the closed door and walked in.
Inside the gate is a dazzling small palace with a floor paved with gilded stone bricks and crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
Candles were burning above the chandelier.
"Shen Qiu, look at that!"
Yun Xiaoxi pointed towards the center of the palace in surprise.
Shen Qiu looked over and saw the crystal coffin surrounded by a large number of eternal flowers, so he spoke vigilantly.
"Be careful, let's go and take a look!"
"good."
Yun Xiaoxi responded, and then carefully followed Shen Qiu towards the crystal coffin.
Soon the two men walked to the crystal coffin and saw the girl lying inside at a glance.
"What a beautiful girl."
Yun Xiaoxi couldn't help but praise.
When Shen Qiu saw the corpse in the crystal coffin, he was also very surprised and couldn't help but blurt out.
"Erin!"
"Ah, she is Irene?"
When Yun Xiaoxi heard Shen Qiu's words, she looked at the corpse in the coffin in great surprise.
"That's right, I didn't expect her body to be here."
Shen Qiu said with a changing expression.
"Shen Qiu, do you think Irene has also turned into a corpse? And it's so strange, the corpses in other coffins are all very shriveled, why is Irene's corpse so perfectly preserved, and there are so many fresh eternal flowers piled next to it?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked after a moment of hesitation.
Shen Qiu was slightly stunned when he heard Yun Xiaoxi's words. For a moment he felt as if something was wrong.
But he couldn't put it into words, his brows furrowed as he thought.
Then he moved closer to the crystal coffin, almost putting his face against it, and carefully observed Irene's body in the crystal coffin. He immediately noticed something strange.
Although Irene's white dress covered most of the crystal coffin, he still found some strange holes on the bottom of the crystal coffin, and there were special red marks on the bottom.
Then Shen Qiu squatted down again and reached out to touch the gilded stone bricks on the ground.
Some of the patterns on the surface of these stone bricks are actually sunken, and not all of them are smooth and flat.
He then stood up and looked carefully at the entire small palace.
"What happened to Shen Qiu?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked doubtfully.
Shen Qiu took a deep breath and then spoke.
"I initially thought that Mellon was trying to preserve Irene's body just because of his love for her. But then I realized that was not true. How could Mellon be willing to do just this? There must be something fishy going on here."
"What's the problem?"
"The entire palace ground is a special loop area, and the crystal coffin is the center point. I finally understand what Mellon wants to do."
"What is he going to do?"
"He needs to collect a large amount of blood, preferably blood full of power, and then transport it here to hold a special sacrifice to revive Irene."
"No, how can this be successful? It is impossible to revive a dead person."
Yun Xiaoxi looked incredulous.
"Of course we know that the dead cannot be resurrected, but Mellon and his people believe in God. How could God not be able to resurrect people? Not to mention that it has a large number of eternal flowers in its hands. Maybe it can really revive a monster with Irene's skin in the end."
Shen Qiu looked at Irene in the crystal coffin and replied in a deep voice.
"So what should we do now? Destroy this place?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked after some hesitation.
Shen Qiu looked at the palace and Irene's body, pondered for a moment and said.
"Move Irene's body away. I don't think she wants to become a monster."
"good!"
Yun Xiaoxi then reached out to lift the lid of the crystal coffin.
"etc."
Shen Qiu suddenly thought of something and shouted.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Yun Xiaoxi had already opened the crystal coffin, and the moment the air seeped in.
Suddenly, Irene's body decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a pool of black substance, leaving only the white dress.
Yun Xiaoxi was suddenly at a loss as to what to do, and she explained to Shen Qiu in a panic.
"Shen Qiu, I..."
"It's okay, this result is also good."
Shen Qiu comforted Yun Xiaoxi and did not blame her. But Shen Qiu was a little panicked. He did not dare to imagine what Mellon's reaction would be if he saw this scene after returning.
At this time, Yun Xiaoxi saw that Shen Qiu was not angry, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then asked.
"So what should we do next?"
Shen Qiu's expression changed. He originally wanted to try his luck and see if he could find the fog-making machine and destroy it first.
But now, after searching almost the entire castle, the machine was nowhere to be found.
And now the situation seems to be getting more critical, and it is not realistic to continue searching, he immediately said to Yun Xiaoxi.
"I observed when I came here. We are not far from the observation deck. Melon should be on the observation deck. We should capture the leader first!"
"Okay, let's go."
Yun Xiaoxi responded quickly.
…
On the bloody arena.
Shiyao walked up slowly and looked at Meilon.
Melon looked at Shiyao standing in front of him, and gracefully extended his left hand to salute her, showing respect for women.
Then Melon pulled out a cross sword that was emitting a dazzling luster. The cross sword was engraved with complicated star marks, and a P4 cube atomic module was embedded in the hilt.
Melon held the Star Blade upright in front of him to show respect for his opponent.
Shi Yao then drew out her own sword and held it upright in front of her. The sword she was using was a sky blue long sword named Shui Ming, which had a P3-level triangle module embedded in it.
With the end of the ceremony, the duel officially began, and Shiyao immediately stretched out her left hand.
A large amount of water continued to flow out from the gaps in the entire arena, and she immediately created a terrain that was beneficial to her.
Of course, this is not to kill Melon, but to survive better and lure Melon to a powerful position.
