The sky was already bright when he left the cave. Qi Leren reflected on how long he had slept, and then looked at the goddess. She looked pretty good, and she should have rested by herself.
At dawn, three blue beams of light connected to the sky. The Qi Le people looked back and saw that the closest to them should be the beam of the cave tower that had just risen. This light actually passed through the stratum. what power.
"It seems that three towers have been unsealed. Now the east tower has not been unsealed. Let's go there and have a look. Maybe we can unlock the last tower." Qi Leren said to Ning Zhou.
As soon as the voice fell, in the far east of the forest, a fourth beam of light shot up into the sky.
Blackbird: "Hehehe."
Qi Leren: "..."
My face hurts so much.
But this time I can finally form a team with the goddess, which is not a small improvement.
The system prompt appeared soon: [The first step of sacrificing the witch: unlock the seal on the Sifang Tower. The Tower of the Four Squares 4/4 is currently unlocked. Open the second step: sacrifice the underground palace.]
[Task background: There are countless undead wandering in the devil's dungeon, seven of them are witch candidates who have died, and they are about to wake up from the abyss of death under the power of the devil... After the sacrifice is completed, all survivors Players are considered to have completed the task.]
[Transmission countdown, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, the transmission is completed.]
Qi Leren only saw a beam of light rising from his feet. He looked at Ning Zhou in astonishment, and found that she was also wrapped in the beam of light. The scene in front of him changed rapidly, making people dizzy. Standing alone in a dimly lit room, the candlesticks on the wall were burning, bringing some faint light to the room.
Only him.
The surroundings were quiet, and Qi Leren did not rush out to find someone, but first changed the skills in the card slot.
The raining clothing collection skill in cooling was put back into the package. Although this skill has saved him several times, but now he has no time to wait for it to cool down, he should give priority to fighting skills and SL skills. After equipping the skills, Qi Leren thought about the current situation.
The system gave him a hint, but it was ambiguous. From what he knew, this mission required the final sacrifice to be completed, but the system's hint was vague about it, and instead put the seven dead witch candidates. As an important reminder, that is to say, they need to solve these witch candidates first, whether it is an intellectual puzzle or a brute force solution needs to be further understood.
Now it seems that after the four seal towers are opened, all surviving players have been sent to the sacrificial underground palace, and they are scattered everywhere. The system says that there are undead wandering in the underground palace, but it says that the dead witch candidates "will soon "Awakened, that is to say, these characters should be small bosses, and they haven't woken up yet.
To complete the final sacrifice, you should first need to wake them up before they can be solved, right? Does it need to use the flesh and blood of living people like the Tower of Sealing? No, it's impossible, the number is too reluctant, the four towers of seals have sacrificed four people, plus the players who were killed by the giant attack, at least five people have died, and the remaining witch candidates are at most eight. , probably fewer, even less than seven. Then this method should not be used, otherwise it will almost be the end of total extinction. Why should the system specifically state that "all surviving players are considered to have completed the task".
So some kind of condition should be triggered to wake up the dead witch candidate? What are the specific conditions...
The more people Qi Le thought about, the more confused they became, so they had to shelve this problem and prepare to explore, and then left the room to find other people.
Fortunately, the prompt from the system did not immediately require them to confront each other. At least they should be able to cooperate before solving the dead witch candidate. Otherwise, now he has to worry about not only the wandering souls, but also the players and NPCs. threat.
The room where Qi Leren was located looked like a palace, but a thick layer of ash had accumulated on the ground and bed, and even the spider webs were covered with dust, and it seemed that it had been uninhabited for a long time. He checked the wardrobes and other places, and there was nothing there. It was like a long-abandoned bedroom with no one to set foot on.
It seems that there is no special meaning to sending him here, it is just pure coincidence.
After thinking about it, Qi Leren calmed down, held a dagger in one hand, and opened the door of the room.
There is a corridor outside, and there is a burning candlestick every few meters. I don't know what material the candle is, but it can burn until now. The floor is paved with marble, and from a distance, candlesticks are reflected one after another, like a waterway.
The surroundings were quiet, but it was cold. Qi Leren wrapped his coat tightly, studied only half of the map, and found that his location should not be within the range of the map, so he continued to walk forward lightly.
In the empty and dead silence, Qi Leren suddenly felt something. This kind of feeling is very subtle and indescribable, but he just felt that someone was approaching. At the corner in front, Qi Leren stopped and held his breath against the dust-covered wall, clenching the dagger in his hand.
The candlesticks on both sides of the corridor gave off a dim light, and he quietly listened to his heartbeat, waiting for some kind of premonition.
coming.
Light footsteps came from the corner, a figure flashed out, Qi Leren pressed the person against the wall without thinking, the dagger pressed against the person's throat, the person screamed, tremblingly begged for mercy: "Don't, don't kill me… "
Qi Leren narrowed his eyes slightly. The girl who was pressed against the wall by him had flaxen hair and deep facial features. She should be an NPC. But with Anna's lessons learned, he still touched the person's waist, and after confirming that she did not have the player's belt, he whispered, "Who are you?"
"I... my name is Elsa." The girl replied in horror.
"Aisha? Do you have a sister?" Qi Leren immediately remembered the task he received from Ellie when he was on the carriage.
"That's right, her name is Ellie, have you seen her?" Elsa was both happy and afraid, and coughed repeatedly because of her emotions, her face pale.
Qi Leren remembered that Ellie had said that her sister was not in good health. He felt that Elsa should have no ill intentions, so he let go of her grip: "I'll take you to find her, she asked me before."
"Thank you!" Elsa said excitedly.
With a temporary companion, Qi Leren's tense mood relaxed a little, and the two continued to walk forward while chatting in a low voice: "So, you didn't know about the sacrifice before?"
Elsa nodded: "My parents didn't tell me, and the people in the village didn't say this, but every three years there will always be a few girls who disappear... Isabel, who was sent with me this time, should know something about her My sister was sent to be sacrificed three years ago, and since then... she never went back."
This topic was too heavy for Elsa, her eyes were red with sadness, and she murmured: "I don't know what happened to Ellie, I'm so worried about her..."
"Don't worry, a beautiful girl like her will be safe and sound." A voice came from behind the two of them, and Qi Leren jumped up, looking in horror at Lu Youxin, who appeared behind the two of them in horror.
Lu Youxin smiled at him: "Yo, pseudo-mother, we meet again."
"..." He didn't want to see her at all.
"Have you seen Ellie?" Elsa was immediately excited.
"Oh, I saw it outside before. Your sister is not bad." Lu Youxin smacked her lips and said with admiration.
Qi Leren thinks that this "good" seems to have a lot of meaning. Let's light a candle for the little loli who is attracted by the pervert.
"How long have you been following us?" Qi Leren asked.
"It won't be long, maybe when you came out of the room? I happened to be nearby." Lu Youxin said calmly, without the slightest sense of guilt following others.
"Have you caught up with Ye Xia?" Qi Leren asked again, he was really curious about this.
Lu Youxin pouted: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard."
It seems that Ye Xia escaped, Qi Leren thought with relief.
"Hey, something is coming." Lu Youxin suddenly raised her head and looked behind Qi Leren.
Qi Leren was shocked. At the end of the dark corridor in the distance, where the candlelight lit up, a white shadow who could not see clearly stood there, watching them quietly, and the next second it suddenly passed through After a distance of tens of meters, he suddenly appeared beside Qi Leren. Qi Leren leaned back extremely nimbly, and the arm in front of him passed through the body of the undead, and a bit of ice was cold.
The primary fighting technique he was equipped with made him react flexibly. The dagger swung out and swiped across the location of the undead, but it had no effect at all. Qi Leren made a slash on his arm, and the dagger dipped in blood finally touched the entity of the undead. , The undead made a sharp howl, which shook the eardrums, and it rushed towards the Qi Le people!
With a soft sound, a blue-white flame rose from Qi Leren's feet, engulfing the undead into the flame. The flame seemed to contain holy power, and the scorched undead let out bursts of miserable screams. Burned to ashes in flames.
Lu Youxin, who was protecting Aisha behind him, shook his head and looked at Qi Leren with an idiot's eyes: "You are also very hard to use physical attacks on such ghost monsters."
Qi Leren rolled his eyes while clutching his blood-guzzling arm, why would he hurt himself if there were other ways to attack? Really why not eat minced meat!
Qi Leren, who was treating his wounds by himself, saw that the shivering Aisha was well protected by Lu Youxin, and said resentfully, "I'm sure now that you only see girls in your eyes."
"That's right." Lu Youxin said proudly, "In my eyes, there are three kinds of girls, the reserve royal sister, the active royal sister and the retired royal sister, all need to be well protected."
Qi Leren complained to her: "What should I do if I don't look good, what if my breasts are not big enough?"
Lu Youxin's face sank, staring at Qi Leren's chest and said coldly: "That's not a girl, it's a female primate. Oh, you're not even this type, you're the kind at the bottom of the food chain."
"..." Qi Leren: So cheap, I really want to beat her!
