"Qiuzi, what on earth do you want to do?" Officer Zhang asked with flickering eyes, watching her calmly.
"I don't know either, I just feel that thing, it's very dangerous to me..." Xu Shuo reached out to grab her sleeve, looking at the situation on the altar, spoke fearfully.
As soon as she finished speaking, Officer Zhang saw the dark red blood flowing on the ground, suddenly rush towards them like mad after failing to probe Xuena!
Xu Shuo quickly climbed onto her back!
Officer Zhang felt a sudden weight on her back: "..."
She clenched the silver dagger in her hand, retreating as the bloody water attacked, originally planning to run into the forest, but turned towards the priest after seeing him!
The priest looked at the girl hanging behind her, and said with a sinister smile, "You've arrived just in time."
Xu Shuo's gaze shifted slightly, glancing at the motionless monsters on the opposite side, black tendrils flew out of her hand, landing on one of the monsters, then she transformed into a shadow and flowed along the tentacle.
Just as Officer Zhang ran over, she felt her back lighten and simultaneously felt a sticky black substance flow down.
The madly pursuing bloody water also instantaneously changed course, desperately rushing towards the Black Dogs; as it drew near, the originally motionless monsters emitted a deep growl, their huge bodies shaking.
They cowered on the ground, trembling with both fear and fanaticism, waiting for the arrival of the gods, not daring to move an inch.
Xu Shuo appeared above the head of a monster, looked down at the stunned priest, and smiled faintly.
"No good!" The priest charged over.
The thick bloody water instantly engulfed those monsters, they screamed in agony, still without any resistance, allowing the blood to corrode and absorb them!
Indistinctly, the rolling, twisting blood began to coalesce into the shape of a monster, it had no skin, its red flesh dripping with black sticky matter.
Those eyes filled with malice stared intently at the girl not far away, pouncing fiercely!
Xu Shuo quickly dodged, landing again atop another monster's head, but at that moment, she caught a glimpse of the brilliant Holy Sword's radiance!
The holy blade of light brushed past his leaning body, Xu Shuo avoided the attack and glancing at the priest with cold eyes, quickly slipped into the shadows to move in front of another monster, then gave him a beaming middle finger.
"Pff—" Officer Zhang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You're still watching the show, time's already up!" The priest turned back and glared at her.
[Congratulations on completing the task: Find the murderer of Qiuzi.]
[Congratulations to the players for completing more than 50% of the main quest. The current scenario will end in one hour; please prepare accordingly.]
At that moment, the system announcement echoed in Xu Shuo's mind.
However, an hour seemed a bit long.
Last time at "The Fifth Hospital", the ending time was only half an hour. Why had it changed to one hour here? .net
Xu Shuo was puzzled, but the myriad of thoughts in his mind did not prevent him from turning and running at that instant!
The bloody monster's gaze silently followed him, countless blood-red tendrils flying towards him, while Xu Shuo ran toward—the priest!
The priest had always known that the creature needed a vessel. Xuena was previously the sacrifice, but he had isolated her. After that came Qiuzi's identity.
Qiuzi was killed by Lanruo, a Necrophage, yet she did not become one of them. Despite being claimed by the darkness periodically, she was still able to move freely.
That was until Teacher Changying said she had been chosen by the gods.
Perhaps the correct sacrifice from the beginning had been Qiuzi, even though she was no longer a human vessel.
Xu Shuo ran towards the priest, ignoring his ready stance and the ornate Holy Sword in his hand, and instead pointed to the immense flesh and blood creature behind him.
"If it eats me, then you won't be able to stop the coming of full-blown evil," he said.
"So wouldn't it be more convenient for me to deal with you now?" the priest asked, his face grim.
"If you dare lay a hand on me, I'll turn and join it. Right now, we could still fight together, couldn't we?" Xu Shuo said.
"Would you really do that?" the priest sneered.
Xu Shuo laughed softly. "Why not give it a try?"
As he spoke, he had already stopped, truly fearless in the face of the slowly moving flesh and blood creature behind him.
After all, if he really got eaten, the one who would truly be in trouble would be the priest.
As the countdown for the mission began, his face was uglier than anyone else's.
