Chapter 195: Midnight Demon Tower
"Fuck, you beast!"
"The so-called 'father' in the diary should be tortured to death! The authorities are so inhumane that they put such a perverted plot in the diary."
Mantou was filled with righteous indignation and pounded the table hard.
There was a rare determination in his eyes. He was determined to get rid of the monster and bring peace to Valena, who was in extreme pain, neither alive nor dead, and whose will was out of control.
"I will let you rest in peace, Valena."
He gently closed the diary and put it back in its place carefully, never touching it again. It was the last trace of Valena as a human being and also a treasure she cherished.
"Mantou, you still think too simply."
Singo frowned and said softly, "We have to be careful. There is not only poor Miss Valena wandering around in this tower, but also her 'father'. This guy can transform people into terrible monsters. He is definitely not someone to be trifled with."
"What's more, Zhan Kuang is also missing. Our team's frontal combat capability has been reduced. With our current capabilities, it would be good enough for us to escape from here, not to mention the so-called elimination of harm for the people."
Mantou said unhappily: "What should we do? Wait here to die?"
"The server is about to shut down anyway. We have already run out of experience points, so it doesn't matter if we lose a bit. At worst, you can give me a Rune Gunpowder Bomb and I will trade it with the boss in the tower."
Singo was a little surprised.
"How did you know I had a rune gunpowder bomb?"
Mantou chuckled and said, "You go to the Mechanicus' factory all day long, and everyone sees it. I never thought that a famous professional player would become a dog to lick the boots of Frenzy Brother."
Singo defended himself: "Do you understand what it means to put your strength first in the game? Use reasonable means to obtain equipment, understand?"
“I understand.”
"Stop talking nonsense, that's a high-level wizard boss."
As they were talking, the two had already left the secret room and continued to explore this hidden tower.
They entered the passage and heard rustling sounds from inside, like the breathing of a jackal.
"Sniff, sniff."
"I smell blood."
"Yes, where is it?"
"There is new prey again. The master will be happy."
A low and hoarse conversation was heard.
Singo quickly held down the bun, silently put an arrow on it, and slowly pulled the bowstring, holding his breath, and aimed at the corner of the passage.
Sure enough, an ugly jackal head with saliva dripping from the corners of its mouth and covered with sparse white scales appeared.
Singo locked onto it instantly, and a purple hunter's mark appeared between the jackal's eyebrows. Then a sharp arrow pierced through the air and easily pierced through his head.
"Ow—"
The gnoll only had time to let out a roar before falling backwards.
There were several gnolls behind them. They were not afraid at all. Instead, there was a violent light flashing in their turbid eyes. They pounced towards the two of them with their fangs and claws, spitting out gusts of fishy wind.
Mantou raised his sword and rushed forward, finding the weak spot in their fur, and pierced the fragile neck of the werewolf in front with an arrow. Then he kicked the body of the werewolf off his feet and chopped down another werewolf.
In just a few breaths, the patrol team consisting of seven gnolls was completely wiped out.
"Hoo, hoo! These gnolls again."
Mantou kicked the corpse on the ground and said while gasping for breath.
Singo stroked his chin and said, "As expected, the source of those jackals is here, the Midnight Demon Tower. It's just that the dragon transformation level of these guys is very low, far inferior to the transformed monsters, otherwise we wouldn't be able to defeat them so easily."
Singo took a few steps forward and noticed the piles of bones along the corridor, and immediately warned them. "Oh no, hurry up! There may be a lot of monsters in this tower."
However, the dying howls of the werewolf had already caused resonance among the monsters in the tower. Countless mournful and mournful roars of various tones rang out, and the entire Midnight Demon Tower seemed to be shaking.
Mantou turned his head and looked behind him.
"Oh shit."
His tone was trembling.
"Roar--"
The hideous dragon-like monsters rushed in like a flood. Jackals, Centaurs, Goblins, Lizardmen and even humans were all transformed into distorted half-human, half-dragon forms, but those monsters looked far from being as natural as the dragon vein creatures of the Burning Kingdom.
——Their bodies are covered with sparse white scales, and there are redundant tumors and lumps everywhere. Some even have extra limbs and heads, and corrosive saliva flows from the corners of their mouths. Most of the monsters have eyes filled with rage, and they have obviously lost their minds long ago.
Singo concluded:
"My guess is correct. This is actually an experimental base."
"We were lured here artificially."
"The master behind this Midnight Demon Tower is probably that wizard!"
As Mantou was listening, the half-dragon goblin behind him crawled over using his hands and feet, pounced on Mantou, and bit his neck with his fine fangs. Fortunately, Mantou had plate armor protecting his body, so the half-dragon goblin could not break through for a while, and then took this opportunity to chop off its head with a sword.
But even with its head pierced, the headless and broken body of the Dragon Vein Goblin was still attacking frantically. One claw grabbed the plate armor, and the other sharp claw scratched the mantou's arm, leaving scars, until several breaths passed before it gradually stopped.
"Oh my god! Is this monster so crazy? He won't let go even if he dies?"
"Don't fight with them, just go!"
Singo and Mantou fled frantically along the corridor of bones and finally came to the end, where there was a steel gate.
Mantou urged.
"Open the lock quickly, Xin Gou!"
"Don't shout, come here if you have the guts—"
But Singo was also very busy at this time. This door lock was not the simplest type, and he was not a thief, so his dexterity was obviously not up to par.
The dragon-like centaur behind him was about to pounce.
Unlike ordinary centaurs, these guys affected by the blood of the white dragon have lower bodies that look more like some terrifying lizards than horses. Their long tails hang behind them, and there is a sticky liquid on the surface of their scales. Their upper bodies look like corpses that have been drained of their vitality, and they appear emaciated and weak.
Suddenly, the iron door burst open.
"Shh-"
A battle axe was swung out from the crack in the door, cutting the dragon-like centaur behind Mantou in half.
The chopped-off lizard's body was still twisted and crawling on the ground, moving around like a headless fly, and it took a long time before it gradually lost its life.
Mantou and Singo took the opportunity to escape into the iron gate and slammed it shut with their bodies.
They looked at the familiar faces in front of them and were immediately overjoyed.
"Brother Zhan Kuang!"
"I've been looking for you for a long time. These monsters are hard to kill."
The natural warrior chuckled and touched the smooth head.
The three people who had been separated by the pursuit of the dragon-transformed werewolf finally gathered together again.
