Gate of Apocalypse

Chapter 575 [Strong Sword]

The access to the basement, there are two in the lobby, one of which was later built - now that it's a copy, the elevator is naturally gone.

The other one is a staircase, a spinning, stone strip, and as you walk in, you can feel the cloudy, wet air pouring in.

Chen Xiaoliang took a tactical flashlight in his left hand, and with Xiu Xiu in his right hand, the two walked into the stairs together.

In a dark painted environment, there's only one flashlight, and it actually smells horrible. However, both have experienced too many copies, and this pediatric atmosphere is inappropriate. Xiu Xiu even reached out curiously to touch the wall.

“A little wet.” The girl shook her hand, and there was some disgust wiping on Chen Xiaocai's corner. Chen Xiaoliang just laughed.

After a long walk down the stairs, at the end of the staircase, it was an empty underground empty nest, and the basement was not high - it was built hundreds of years ago, and it couldn't create that kind of oversized space, and the columns seemed to have been in place for some years, and the stone chips were scattered. It's only about 10 meters wide.

On the wall, there is a row of copper tubes, which at first glance is the equipment used to collect sound.

Chen Xiaoliang walked over and gently knocked on the copper tube a few times, the copper sounds vibrated.

“The sound should lead upstairs. ”

As I walked forward, I saw a double open wooden door, the copper door handle had rusted and the door was filled with dirt, which I could see had not been opened for a long time.

Xiu Xiu glanced at Chen Xiaocai: “What will be in the door? ”

Chen Xiaolei smiled and walked over to push the door, smiling: “Since it's a vampire legend, it's mostly related to this thing, maybe it's a coffin, there's a thousand years old vampire in it or something. ”

The door had been pushed open by him, but at this time, both of them were stunned.

Inside the door, a small room with cold, damp floor tiles on the ground and red velvety wallcloth on the walls - but mostly rotten and rusty.

And right in the center, on a hexagonal stone platform, is a coffin!

Typical, western, pristine coffin!

A big, small and two people stood still and looked at each other, and Xiu Xiu's eyes clearly meant, "Are you sure? ”

Chen Xiaoliang closed his smile and suddenly his face grew harsh.

He had quickly pulled the show behind him and summoned a long sword from the storage watch.

This is an ordinary steel sword, very hand-pressed, that kind of western knight sword, wide, heavy, blade blade on both sides of the blade, it's also very suitable for chopping.

Chen Xiaoliang held the flashlight with one hand and the sword with one hand. He took two careful steps inward, staring closely at the coffin on the stone table.

And a few steps closer, he couldn't bear to say, "Huh?” A sound.

But Xiu Xiu had already run two steps forward and stood next to Chen Xiaoliang, pointing to the coffin: “Looks like it's empty? ”

It's empty.

On the stone table, the coffin, the coffin cover had long been lifted aside, in the coffin, empty, with only a layer of black rotten velvet.

Other than that, nothing seems to be happening.

Chen Xiaolei squinted his eyes for a moment, after a few seconds of silence, he put away the flashlight, but grabbed a large number of fluorescent sticks from the storage equipment. When his hand became bright, he threw it around at will, and for a moment, the house became bright.

While this green fluorescence looks a little woody, it's enough to illuminate the room.

“Ah, look at the coffin cover! ”

I saw the coffin cover. It was crossed. It was all scratches! If you can't see it naturally in the dark, but in the light of the fluorescent light, you will immediately become noticeable. It's thick and thin, there are dozens of them, and the hooks are scratchy and shocking!

After stretching out his finger and describing it a few times, Chen Xiaocao lowered his voice: “It was sharpened, I'm afraid there are more than one. ”

“Little Face Oba, look. ”

The show suddenly opened its mouth and reached out a finger.

Chen Xiaoliang looked at the past, squatted down and saw the ground, but it was actually a few long pieces of black, approaching the measurement...

“Like, nails? ”

It's obviously all nails. It's just black, hard as iron, but sharp as a knife. It's just like they don't know what cut them off. Tidy cut.

“And on the wall.” Xiu Xiu looked around and flew fast.

In fact, there is no need to remind Xiaoxiu, Chen Xiaocai also saw it.

There are all kinds of horizontal and vertical staggered scratches on these walls!

Chen Xiaoliang walked along the wall for a while, looked at it and thought for a few seconds before sighing for a long time.

“What a strong sword! ”

……

The phoenix rushed into a barracks and quickly walked out again.

There are several stacked bed frames in the barracks, but they are empty and smell corrupt.

Rusty armor parts are also available at the corners of the wall.

In the middle, that biggest tent, when the phoenix walked past, it was only seen that the ground in the tent was a black mark!

The phoenix glanced and saw that this was all left after the blood had dried up. It was a big, big piece!

Because the tent was ventilated on all sides, there was no bloody smell left in the tent. Just as she walked in, the phoenix looked at it for a moment and jumped.

The walls of the camp tent were covered with splashes of blood, and although they had dried up, it was felt that there had been a fierce battle here, and blood had splashed everywhere, making the entire camp tent look like a Shura field.

There's almost nothing left intact in there. All the tables have been chopped! Flat and smooth, the phoenix just reached out and couldn't help but get a grim look on her face.

There was blood everywhere in the room, so much blood, I didn't know how many people had died here. And finally, the most confusing thing about Phoenix is, since so many people have died here, where have the bodies gone?

“What a sword! ”

Phoenix felt all sweat in her hand, subconsciously, took out the wand and held it in her hand, as if it was the only way to make her heart feel a little less secure.

And this is the moment...

“System Notice: Turn on new copy area permissions because non-player camp participants are looking for task special items 15. Participants in the camp are requested to search for mission items in the new area immediately. This copy counts down: 299 minutes 59 seconds..."

Phoenix turned back suddenly, looking out of the tent, her face gloomy and uncertain.

……

Chen Xiaocao stared stubbornly at the new hint in his personal system and then looked at the broken nail just pinched in his hand.

In addition to the prompt for permissions in the new copy area, Chen Xiaoliang's pinched nails were also given a separate prompt in the system:

“Vampire Ancestor Body Fragment 11, complete the branch task and receive a reward message: Collect 3 pieces of Fragment to summon the use of the 'Blood Sword of the Ancestors of the Blood' once. This item is a disposable prop, Power A-Class. It has an extra boost to the power of the sacred system. ”

Looking at the countdown that still stopped the watch, Chen Xiaoliang frowned and thought, simply bend down and pick up all the broken nails on the ground.

Three nails can be exchanged for a "blood sword”, and there are nine nails on the ground, which means three “blood sword” attacks can be exchanged. After all, they are A-grade items, although they are disposable consumables.

Chen Xiaocai lost six nails to Xiu Xiu, took three pieces himself, and dragged Xiu Xiu out of the basement quickly.

He only took the show from the staircase to the lobby on the first floor, and saw the direction of the gate of the castle in the distance, and a figure came in quickly.

“Huh? Phoenix? ”

Phoenix saw Chen Xiao Liang and Xiu Xiu far away, and took the original attack back and sighed.

“Have you been here?” Phoenix frowned.

“Hmm.” Chen Xiaolian looked at the phoenix: “What about you? Didn't you say you couldn't come in? ”

Phoenix hesitated for a moment, but faintly said: “I thought since I'm here with you, it doesn't mean anything to stay at the door - after all, it's just a copy. Just remember, you owe me a big favor, a big favor. ”

Chen Xiaoliang smiled: “Okay, I understand if you don't say it. ”

After a pause, he frowned and looked around: “Have you seen the others? The castle seemed to be just me and Xiu Xiu, and I hadn't met anyone else for a long time. And... system countdown...”

“Stopped the table.” Phoenix took over immediately: “I noticed, too, as if the system was out of BUG. ”

“That's why it's weird.” Chen Xiaoxiao Lian: “When did the system come out of BUG? ”

“I don't know. Anyway, I think this copy is evil. ”

The two men spoke quickly, and the phoenix did not hide them, saying what she had seen and heard in the barracks outside the castle in the open space.

“Strong sword?” Chen Xiaoxiao heard about this place and looked weird, then said something about his discovery in the basement.

“... the nails of the ancestors of the bloodline I've harvested are a harvest. But the biggest question is the sword left there. I suspect… the ‘blood ancestors’ in that system may have been killed. According to normal reasoning, the system obviously requires participants at this stage to kill the blood ancestors and then obtain the body fragments of the blood ancestors before completing the clue task. But... the blood ancestors are gone, we only found one empty coffin, and there was obviously a battle there. Even the nails of the blood ancestors were cut off.” Chen Xiaoli flew fast track.

“The blood ancestors… obviously should be a BOSS for the first phase of the mission, it has been killed?” Phoenix frowned: “How is that possible? How long before the replica starts, you should have opened the replica before you entered. Is there anyone else who entered the replica earlier than you? ”

“Impossible.” The show whispered alongside: “When we came in, the copy started refreshing and I didn't see anyone else. ”

“Have you tried going upstairs? Can other areas be accessed?” asked the phoenix.

“No, we only checked the first floor and basement, didn't look upstairs. ”

“I doubt we'll make it to the second floor. If you hadn't found that nail earlier, I wouldn't even be able to get in outside the castle. ”

Chen Xiaocai suddenly stunned when he heard about it: “Perhaps… is this the distribution of the system? All participants are then assigned to different areas, and can more areas be opened only if mission supplies are found in different areas? ”

Phoenix's eyes shine: “That makes sense... If that's the case, then there should be mission supplies outside the barracks, just like the nails you found! ”

“Come on, let's go see, maybe you missed something.” Chen Xiaoliang made a decision immediately, then pulled the show, took the phoenix, and the three of them rushed out through the castle gate.

And just after the three of them walked out the door, from the staircase on the second floor, two people just happened to run down.
